THE EATONVILLE DISPATCH, Eatonville, Washington, October 18, 1918 Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by E. Ruth Brewer brewerer@att.net 07/07/04 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************ THE EATONVILLE DISPATCH A Weekly Paper For Tacoma Eastern People Third Year, No. 62, October 18, 1918 Eatonville, Pierce County, Washington Pg. 1, col. 1 LOCAL AND PERSONAL We wish to explain to those who have noticed the sweet, pleasing smile on the countenance of our delightful and entertaining hotel-keeper, Mr. Groe, of late. The cause of it is, that he has discovered a method of putting up stoves without being compelled to use harsh and uncanny words. He says he is only to glad to give all those who wish, the recipe. Here's your chance. The genial proprietor of Christensen's Dep't. Store was a Tacoma visitor last Tuesday. Pg. 1, col. 2 INSTRUCTIONS FROM HEALTH OFFICER Instructions were received from the County Health Officer by phone last Wednesday evening to the effect that every public building closed by the recent order must be re- kalsomined if the walls and ceiling had been previously kalsomined or, if the rooms had not been kalsomined, then the walls and ceiling are to be washed down thoroughly with an antiseptic solution. All such buildings will be thoroughly fumigated and other preventative measures taken, which are calculated to disinfect the buildings and render them perfectly safe as meeting places for the public, once the ban is raised. Dr. M. C. Hill entertained our genial dispenser of Bovine etc., Chas. Geiger, at a private sitting, last Tuesday evening. The chief "piece de resistance" on the Menu was Gas ala Morpheus with "gold filling". Chas. reports having a most enjoyable time, and will reciprocate with a luncheon of "bison" in the near future. Herman Hekel, one of the applicants for the S. A. T. C. at the State College Pullman, was rejected on account of physical defect. Herman has returned and again occupies his former position with Christensen's Department Store. H. H. Schmidt has purchased a drag-saw, stump-puller and other equipment and will cut shingle bolts in Ohop Lake for the Mashell Shingle Co. He, expects, also, to cut fir wood for sale in Eatonville. Earl and Harold Pravitz were week-end visitors in Eatonville. Frank J. Mensik, of Alder, came down the hill to see "Murdock" last Tuesday week. D. W. Amrine and wife returned last Saturday from a trip to Oregon City where they went to attend the funeral of Mr. Amrine's brother who died of pneumonia at Camp Sherman Ohio, recently. Being a soldier, the funeral was with full military honors. THE TAILOR GOES A-HUNTING Brayman Walthall, our w. k. tailor, put the goose under the counter and discarded his needle, thread and thimble last Tuesday to shoulder his trusty rifle for a jaunt to the tall timber where he hoped to beard the festive deer in his den or words to that effect. His slight ambitions were realized when he returned on Friday with a 225 pound buck, dangling from his fingers. Now, it requires a permit from the President to approach within speaking distance of our newly found Nimrod. Pg. 1, col. 3 VOTE ON EXTENSION OF BOUNDARY The residents of Park Addition just outside the West corporate limits of Eatonville have petitioned the Town Council for admission into the Town limits. A large percentage of the voting population of the Addition have signed the petition, the main reason being, presumably, that they may have electric lights, fire protection and increased water pressure. The majority of the signers have long been resident here and are justly entitled to every advantage that obtains from being a part of our city. They are all good citizens, as it well demonstrated by the esteem in which they are held by our citizens. The election will be held at the Town Hall, where the townspeople will vote and at the residence of Mrs. Ophelia Callaway where the resident of Park Addition will vote, both elections being held on November 12th. Let us all turn out and give these people a royal welcome by polling a large vote in accordance with their petition on the above date. DOINGS OF THE LOCAL RED CROSS The Local Red Cross will meet the same as usual at the Library, of the High School on Friday. No one with the slightest cough or cold of any kind can attend. Look at your quilt number and if it is 777 come and claim the Red Cross Quilt. The fruit pits will be shipped next Monday. Be sure and send down all you have so that we may send them in this shipment. Then continue to save all pits and nut shells even if you only have a few. Mrs. Elmlund and Mrs. Canty have kindly offered the Red Cross the use of their sewing machines. This will help the sewing very much. One more and we will have six, which will be all we will need for the time being. Pierce County shipped two car loads of clothing to the Belgiums. There was some over which is being held for the next shipment. Eatonville Auxiliary turned into the Headquarters, $164.92 in the month of September. Wm. Parsons, late woods-foreman for the Eatonville Lumber Co., resigned his position and left Eatonville last Tuesday. Mrs. M. A. D. W. Amrine and wife returned last Saturday from a trip to Oregon City where they went to attend the funeral of Mr. Amrine's brother who died of pneumonia at Camp Sherman Ohio, recently. Being a soldier, the funeral was with full military honors. D. W. Amrine and wife returned last Saturday from a trip to Oregon City where they went to attend the funeral of Mr. Amrine's brother who died of pneumonia at Camp Sherman Ohio, recently. Being a soldier, the funeral was with full military honors. Mrs. M. A. Victor and son Harry have removed from the Sweeny residence to Eatonville Lumber Co. property where "Vic" will be closer to his work. Pg. 1, col. 4 NOTICE OF ELECTION Notice is hereby given that there will be submitted to the duly qualified electors of the Town of Eatonville and to the duly qualified electors of the residents within the boundaries of the map of park Addition to Eatonville, Pierce County, Washington, a proposition for the annexation to the incorporated Town of Eatonville of all territory situated within the boundaries of the MAP OF PARK ADDITION TO EATONVILLE, PIERCE COUNTY, as filed with the Auditor of Pierce County at a special election to be held for the purpose on the 12th day of November, 1918, from the hour of 2:00 p.m. to the hour of 8:00 p.m., at which election the electors shall vote upon such proposition by placing upon their ballots the words "For annexation" or "Against annexation" or words equivalent thereto. Polls for such election will be opened in such territory so proposed to be annexed in the residence of Mrs. O. Callaway in said park Addition and in the Town of Eatonville at the Eatonville Town Hall in said corporation. That the officers of election in the territory so proposed to be annexed shall be the following, towit: Ophelia Callaway, Ella Longale and Hettie E. Williams, the same being residents of said territory proposed to be annexed: and the officers of election in the Town of Eatonville shall be the following, towit: Harriet M. Smith, Edna Howard and H. N. Greene, all being duly qualified electors resident within said Town of Eatonville. This notice is given pursuant to a resolution of the Council of the town of Eatonville duly passed by said body at its regular meeting on the 14th day of October, 1918. A. W. Bridge, Mayor. H. N. Greene, Clerk. Anyone desiring an unusually good mixed pickle recipe will in no wise be disappointed in the following formula: 9 pounds green tomatoes, 9 pounds green cucumbers, 3 bunches celery, 10 large onions, 6 carrots, 1 gallon string beans, 2 large heads of cabbage, 2 large heads cauliflower, 1 quart lima beans, soaked over night in cold salty water, drained off in the morning and cooked till fork will readily pierce them. ? tablespoons mixed spices, 1 gallon very best vinegar, 2 ˝ pounds brown sugar, 1 cup mustard, 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons turmeric, mixed with water. Cook till tender, adding the flour mixed smoothly with water, after all vegetables are well done. Put up in glass jars, and place in a cool, dark place. Pg. 1, col. 5 SCHOOL NOTES The citizens of Eatonville have given an unusual opportunity to High School students. The LYCEUM course is a fine one and at the half price of seventy five cents for the four numbers ought to be patronized by each student in the school. Such talent is not often possible to hear at prices more than double the 50 cent single admission asked. Oct. 15th is the first date tickets may be had of the Superintendent. As the season for report cards draws on apace it will not be amiss to explain a new system of markings which will be found in use. A few well known facts are presented. Marks are used for two purposes to acquaint parent with their child's school activities and progress therein to serve as a basis for promotion. By actual test the best teachers will vary from 10 to 50 percent on their grading of the same paper. Hence percentage mark mean little in particular to a parent for they mean nothing definite to the one who wrote it. "Do we promote in life out of their ability to do the work to which we are promoting them". The letter classifications based on the "normal probability curve," while much more definite than the usual method of teachers judging has grave faults. It is difficult to tell whether a child is poorest in grout "A", or best in group "B" etc. Again this theory is true only for a very large number of cases. Some day when scientific measurement of school work has reached greater perfection we shall be able to accurately gauge a pupil's work using scientific scales of standard content and meaning the same to all persons. Until then we shall be content with an approximate method conveying to parents some definite idea as to what the child is doing and also making the child know what the teacher thinks of his efforts. "It is a recognized fact that there are certain things which a child must know before he can do certain other things. "These necessary things should constitute a required minimum for each year's work. Then if a child is working just as hard as he can, and shows evidence that he will probably accomplish the minimum in the required time, he is doing all that we can ask of him. This child's "Work is satisfactory." "Could do better work" is the mark for the brilliant loafer, the indifferent, the lazy, and the ones whose outside distractions affect their work. "Work is too hard" is for the child who is doing the best he can but shows no probability of reaching the minimum. "With this system there will be no heartburning because John who is a loafer is getting a "B" while Charles who is doing faithful work is only getting a "C". Parents whose children get "Could do better work" will want to know the reason why and the slow but deserving pupil will get their just recognition at last. The Junior Red Cross of the High School has finished 4 pillows and sent in to Tacoma Chapter in response to the recent call. A large amount of fruit pits and some nut shells has been collected. The thrifty housewife should gather her nasturtium seeds while not wholly ripe, and use instead of white mustard seed, for seasoning. They should be dried slowly, and stored in sacks or glass jars for winter use. Ripe poppy seeds make an attractive and appetizing finish for iced cakes sprinkled on top and between layers. They should be saved in fall, and put away for winter use. TACOMA-EASTERN FAIR, PREMIUM LIST Fancy Work – Adults Crochet Yoke, 1st premium, Mrs. E. Longale. Crochet Bag, 1st premium, Mrs. S. H.

ARGICULTURAL NOTES Are you keeping boarders, in our dairy business? Do you know the amount of milk each cow produces, daily? Do you know how much butter fat is contained in that milk? Do you know how much it is costing you to feed and care for each cow? Do you keep a diary record showing all of these items? If not, are you sure which cows to blame for the low returns from your heard? A record sheet posted in a convenient place in the barn can be kept with very slight expenditure of time and labor. Dairy scales cost little and save much. The dairyman can't afford to be without them. However, if he has no scales, he can easily keep a record of the number of gallons of milk, per day, and secure almost as valuable data. If you wish to know the per cent of butter fat in the milk, bring properly prepared samples to the agriculture laboratory at the high school, and it will be carefully and accurately tested, free of charge. We are glad to have the opportunity of doing this work for you. The best results can be secured from composite tests. Keep each cow's milk separate from the other milk till the sample is taken. Stir the milk very thoroughly with a long handled spoon or ladle, then dip out from midway in the pail of milk, half the amount of milk you wish to send to be tested. At the next milking, prepare a sample of exactly the same amount of milk and add it to the former sample. Do not fill the container very full, as cream clings to the stopper of the bottle, and decreases the per cent of cream. Milk bottles in pint size may be secured at the school, if you haven't suitable containers. If your cow is a good one, find it out, and appreciate her merits. If she is a boarder, even pet, send her to the butcher and increase your farm profits. Pg. 3, col. 1 TACOMA-EASTERN FAIR, PREMIUM LIST FRUIT APPLES Best Plate of Alexander, 1st premium, H. Antonie.

An American infantry soldier recently explained the origin of the term to the correspondent in Paris of the London Times after this fashion: "In the Civil war a great number of federal troops were waiting for uniforms, which were made but lacked buttons. So great was the hurry that eventually the men went round the houses in the town an collected buttons off the women's clothing. These were for the most part large buttons from overcoats. Naturally the infantry looked funny with the uniforms fastened by great overcoat buttons. Those resembled hard tack (large, round, dry biscuits made of dough) and hence sprang the word 'doughboy' which has been kept in the United States army as a slang phrase for an infantry soldier." Pg. 3, col. 4 LEGAL NOTICE (Resolution by Town Council) It appearing to the Council of the Town of Eatonville that a petition has been filed with this body for the annexation to the Town of Eatonville of all that certain property included within the boundaries of the MAP OF PARK ADDITION TO EATONVILLE, PIERCE CO., WASHINGTON, A PLAT DULY RECORDED WITH THE AUDITOR OF PIERCE CO; and it appearing that said territory proposed to be annexed does not consist in whole or in part of any municipal corporation or part thereof and that such territory does not contain a population exceeding two thousand; and said petition having been duly canvassed by this body and it appearing to this Council that said petition bears the signatures of 23 qualified electors of the Town of Eatonville, the same being not less than on-fifth of the qualified electors of said corporation as shown by the vote cast at the last municipal election held therein.

Oct. 18-25-Nov. f. Pg. 3, col. 6 SWAN LAKE NEWS (Too late for Last week's Issue.) The recent rains have cleared up the smoke, and the general surroundings have a spring like appearance. W. H. Crabtree of Tacoma was a visitor at the "Reevemoor" last Sunday. Jack Mattix and wife spent the week at George Kreger's. Jack enjoyed his outing on Kreger Lake and bagged his limit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pete each day. Mrs. Annie Gilreath of Seattle spent a couple of days with Asmussen. Mr. and Mrs. John Jensen attended the funeral of Mrs. Buchannan at Roy, last week. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Mattix of Seattle were over Sunday visitors with the former's mother, Mrs. George Kreger. James Mattix of Roy has come to make his home with Chas. Kreger. Mr. and Mrs. Sefus Duncan of Tacoma spent several days at Chas. Kreger's. Sefe is the most enthusiastic hunter we have met. Not contented with a day's pleasure, but continued until the wee small hours. Rescue parties have centered their opinions as to his whereabouts, but concluded he sought shelter in a crow nest. However, he appeared the next day with no game. George Deans $2000 cow which he has purchased recently gave birth to a fine bull calf. George is wearing a smile. Peter Asmussen and son, Charlie, and Nick Koenig, transacted business in Tacoma, on Wednesday. The Knitting Club met with Mrs. Reeve Monday evening, including a community sing.

Wright, 21, of Tacoma, while on vacation visiting his brother Roy, in Eatonville went bird hunting in company with Roy and Clyde Williams, out near Tula Lake. After hunting with varied success for some time, Clyde came into town to get a dog while the two brothers continued to "beat up" the brush in the vicinity of the lake. In going down a short but rather steep hill, Harvey laid his shot-gun on the bank while he clambered down a short distance, using both hands to let himself down. However, the gun was not placed securely and started to roll down the hill. Harvey reached out his left hand to grasp it at the muzzle, when, at the same time, the gun was discharged. The charge of shot passed through the palm of his left hand, some entering his chest and left arm but the main portion passed between his arm and his body. Roy assisted him for about three miles to the Fiander residence where he phoned for the ambulance and Harvey received first aid there, being brought into the Eatonville Hospital for further treatment. He is now visiting at this brother's home and the would is healing nicely. Harvey had application for a position in the Stevedore Corps and was daily expecting notice of appointment. Before entering upon his new duties he thought to pay his brother a long-deferred visit and arrived in Eatonville on the 7th inst. The accident happened last Saturday.
