had 
been eating the heads from his chickens, stealing bait from traps sat to catch 
it and after 
entering the chicken house Tuesday night was unable to find its way out and met 
its 
Waterloo when the proprietor found it, a little screech owl not much bigger than 
your two 
fists. The ladies at the Maple Farm declare that the hen killed was hoo-dooed

P. T. A. HAS LIVE SESSION
The Eatonville parent Teachers Association held a very successful meeting, 
Tuesday 
evening, Jan. 30 at the Eatonville high school.
Mr. Rusch was chairman of the meeting. First on the program, was a song, by the 
High 
school Glee Club. This was followed by a cornet solo given by Lawrence 
Fairbairn.
The subject for the evening was "Village Improvements."
Dr. A. W. Bridge was the first speaker. He talked on sanitation. He first took 
up the 
subject of water, stating that pure water was absolutely essential for good 
health. Also 
that pure water could be obtained only by adding chlorine gas to water, at 
certain times of 
the year. Eatonville has such a plant, necessary for producing chlorine gas. 
Boiling of 
water also purifies same, he stated. The doctor mentioned the matter of milk in 
regard to 
health. He said that milk should be procured from dairies that have herds which 
have 
been properly tested also that the dairy should be reliable and absolutely 
clean.
He next spoke of meat foods saying that all food should be kept away from flies 
and dust, 
also that all meat should be properly inspected. Sewage disposal was discussed. 
The 
proper sewage system is the only safe and reliable way to dispose of sewage in 
clay soil. 
Septic tanks were recommended as disposers of sewage if constructed right and 
should be 
located in sand or gravelly soil. Many out-houses, he said, could be improved at 
small 
cost, making them much safer for the community.
The disposal of garbage was talked of. There are three classes of garbage, one 
kind which 
is good for feed for animals, a second kind which will burn and a third class 
such as tin 
cans and bottles. Cans fill with water and serve as breeding places for 
mosquitoes. The 
first two kinds of garbage can be gathered up by the private family. The third 
kind should 
either be buried or collected by the city and carried to some dump. This can be 
done by 
private individuals as well. All garbage should be placed in cans with tight 
fitting covers.
The matter of drainage was discussed. Drainage is essential, said the doctor, as 
pools of 
water serve as breeding places for mosquitoes which are carriers of disease.
The doctor mentioned the importance of proper ventilation of public buildings as 
well as 
private homes, saying that many of both classes of buildings were poorly 
ventilated.
He concluded his talk by mentioning that far too many people knew little or 
nothing 
about sanitation this being the main cause for many sicknesses.
Next on the program was a vocal solo by Miss Dana, followed by an excellent 
recitation 
from Miss Larson.
Mr. Norman J. Bruen was the next speaker of the evening.
He spoke on the social side of village improvement. He divided the people into 
two 
classes, young people and old people. He mentioned the value of good magazines, 
good 
shows, good music, and clean dances. He said these things were essential to the 
social life 
of the young people. Mr. Bruen approved, heartily, the Boy Scout movement, 
saying that 
this organization deserved support from the entire community.
He next took up the social life of the older people, mentioning lodges, pool 
rooms, shows 
and different organizations. He advised more general use of the school buildings 
as a 
social center.
Next came a musical selection by Mr. Beardsley.
Rev. C. H. wood was the third speaker of the evening, explaining the Boy Scout 
movement of which he is the local master and leader having organized a troop of 
boy 
scouts in Eatonville, recently.
He stated that the movement was not military in character as many people 
thought. It is, 
he said, an organization for the training of boys along the right lines and to 
keep the boys 
busy in learning constructive things. Besides making camping trips into the 
woods and 
learning how to take care of themselves in the woods, the teachings of the 
movement 
include learning in first aid to the injured and many useful subjects. The motto 
of the 
organization is "Do a good thing every day." The movement is endorsed by leading 
educators and many prominent men and women.
Mr. Rusch then spoke on village improvement. He mentioned a system of garbage 
collection, a public drinking fountain, public rest room, more gardens and 
flowers, a 
garden club, and the planting of ornamental trees as things needed in the 
improvement of 
the town.
General discussion then followed.
Miss Johnson's room then won the vote for the picture.
The meeting was well attended and was pronounced by many to be the most 
successful 
ever held by the P. T. A. in Eatonville.

Feed the birds.

We still have quite a supply of garden seeds but no flower seeds. Congressman 
Johnson 
wrote the office that he only had 28,000 packets of seeds for distribution in 
the district. 
We think he must have sent the entire quota to the Dispatch as we have received 
quite a 
lot of the seeds. Call and get yours.

We understand that the W. C. T. U. along with citizens of Eatonville are having 
some 
difficulty in deciding where to place the two drinking fountains and that the 
funds for the 
fountains are waiting for a location for the fountains. How about putting one of 
the 
fountains in front of the Dispatch. We are fond of water. Every time we had to 
take water 
it would be handy.

ROY 23 - EATONVILLE 82
Friday night, Jan. 26, Eatonville Hi defeated Roy Hi by the score of 82 to 23 in 
a game of 
basket ball. Nevertheless, the Roy team, although short one of their best 
players, played a 
fast aggressive game.
The Roy people started from Roy with about 40 people, but their stage got stuck 
in the 
road near Trout lake. The rooters staid at the place where they had become 
stranded while 
the Roy team battled their way to Eatonville and played the locals the game. 
They were 
tired and cold from the hardships endured and could not put up their best.
Eatonville Hi will play the Roy Hi a return game at Roy, Friday night, Feb. 2. 
Another 
fast game is expected with a closer score.
Several machine loads of rooters will accompany the local team.
The playing of the Eatonville team Friday night was away above the average of 
their 
usual performance. The playing of Elmlund, Nettleton and F. Mensik was 
particularly 
fast. Aind and Smith did effective work for Roy.
