j season there is normally a sudden? increase in local cream production.

k | owing to the rains. At these times

I the butter and butterfat markets au-

i tomatlcally decline. This year ther ;rains of August started the grass de-

velopment ut a much earliur date

| and as a result the fall supply of but-"' ter was heavy. Utah. Idaho. Oregon

1 and other intermountain points show-

-1 ed a material increase in the supply.

The surplus compelled an overflow in

all leading North Pacific coast cen-

ters and a 60c market resulted.This surplus is now cleaned up and

the markets generally are resuming

their stronger tone. In the meantime

1 storage stocks are cleaning up and

city creamery men find themselvesdirectly in competition with each oth-

er for the fats and out of alignmentwith California should they find it

necessary to import stock from thatstate at a profit.

LYNDEN BUSY RAISING$4,500 FOR WAR WORK

Drive Of Seven Organization For Aid

Brings Fine Response; Take YourSubscription To Bank

Dispensing altogether with the nec-essity of sending out solicitors tomake a personal appeal, Lynden thisweek is quietly raising its quota of

$4,500 for the United War Workcampaign.

The Lynden War Chest Fund sent

out an appeal to its subscribers, andsubscriptions are now being receivedat the Lynden State Bank. Thosewho have not received a notice, or

who are not listed among the WarChest subscribers, or who desire toincrease their gift for war charities,

are urged to bring in their check at

once to the bank."Lynden will meet its obligation

on i his United War Work drive onehundred per cent to the gcou," de- ,clared W. H. Wapl:s. district chair-min today. "Allshould p'.an to takea part In thir. great work. No per-

sonal solieltcrs will be s:nt out, as

we feel that Lynden people under-stand the need for the.ie funds andwill bring in theii offerings them-selves." I

Tto Lynden War Chest Fund com-mittee sent out the following appealto its subscribers:

*"The seven great organizations,which under authority of the govern-ment are making the United War

Woik drive for funds this week, have

assigned to the Lynden district as itsquota the sum ot $4,500. To meet

this appeal, the Lynden War ChestFund has but $3,175 on hand and

pledged.

"The net contributions to the Lyn-den War Chest Fund were $7,100.Ot this sum your executive commit-tee paid out $2,800 to the NationalRvd Cross, $100 to the Salvation Ar-

my's War Work, and $25 to the Na-

tional League for Women's Service,

a total of $3,925.

"It was originally expected thatthe call on Lynden by the Y. M. C.A., Y. W. C. A., and the other organ-

izations would not be more than $3,-

--100, and the War Chest had ample

funds to pay this quota promptly.

The vital needs of the boys at thefront, however, caused an appeal

tor a larger sum. To meet this defi-cit before November 18, the closing

day of the campaign, it will be neces-

sary for each War Chest subscriberto send in an additional twenty per

cent subscription.

Many Lynden people have been

drawn for jury duty in the superior

court in December.

"Won't you do this by return mail,

so that Lynden can go over the top

for the soldier boys."

Lynden teachers aided the United

War Work Drive committee last week

by taking charge of the sending of

notices to contributors to the War

Chest fund. A staff of six worked

two days arranging the lists and

Bending out the letters.

ATTEMPT TO FIX PRICE OFBUTTER AT 60 CENTS FAILS

The attempt of the food adminis-

trator to fix the price of butter at

Seattle at sixty cents a pound has

thus far met with failure.

Administrator Hebberd has been

making an investigation of the Se-Iattic market at intervals for the past

two months. Eggs advanced to the

highest cost ever known here thru

competitive bidding, although the

high prices lail id to pioduce any ad-

ditional receipts. Butter fat was

buoyant, condenseries offering the

equivalent of 88c per lb. for the raw

milk.Production ot butter fat was at

the maximum in this territory before

the market declined, and It was noted

that no more cream arrived because

of the advancing bid price. This

fact, it is stated, caused inquiry by

the food administration, which

What Do You Think Is My Share?

By Brucb Barton

He is a conscientious gentleman, who honestlywants to do right. And he came to me shakinghis head. ,

"Iwant to do my full part in this United WarWork Campaign," he said.

f"Do you think a

hundred dollars is my share?"And I told him that it would be hard for

anyone but himself to decide. "There are somany different ways of looking at money," Isaid.

A hundred and seventy millions looks big at

first glance. It is forty times what Jeffersongave Tor the Louisiana territory.

It's a dollar and seventy cents for every man,woman and child in the land; it's more thaneight dollars and a half for every household.

You can figure it on that basis," I told him."On the basis of dollars and cents. Or you canfigure it on the basis t>f boys."

"Of boys?" he questioned. "I do not under-stand."

It's less than fifteen cents a day for each ot oursoldiers and sailors," I answered. "Fifteen cents

a day to give them warmth and comfort and

entertainment, and lectures, and games, and thethought of mother and of God."

"Fifteen cents a day for a boy: two for aquarter a day. How many boys will youtake?"

And his eyes kindled. "I think I could taketen at least, he said. He drew his check bookout.

"Figure it out and tell me the price," he said."I want you to give them the best you've got.

What is it going to cost ?""?for ten boys, for a year, at two for a quarter

a day?"So I figured it out for him: suppose you figure

it out for yourself.

LYNDEN SCHOOLS TOOPEN ON MONDAY

and they were immediately followedby hundreds of others. Floats ap-peared, and the Kaiser, stuffed, trav-elled up and down the street behindtwo or three automobiles.

Lynden stores closed promptly,and a formal celebration was held atone o'clock in the afternoon at thecorner of Fifth and Front Street.A grand band composed of a section

of the Liberty band and volunteersw-ith drums and other instrumentsplayed patriotic airs during the pro-

SCHOOL IX LVXOEX ISN'T JISTLIKE THOSE OF SI'NNY FRANCE

Lewis Tromp. a graduate of theLynden High School, finds that theschools of France aren't exactly likethose of this district.

1 He describes the differences in a

letter received here this week, and

tells of his experiences as follows:We moved into a new billet night

before last. It is an old loft where

the French used to dry clothes.There are forty of us in it. Ofcourse we still sleep on the floor,but that doesn't bother me In theleast anymore.

I was in a French schoolhousenear here the other day, and I can

tell you it is nothing like the Lyndenschools. The kids here sit at littlehome-made desks, which are sup-

posed to accomodate two and the

seats are narrow with straight backs.The desks are carved full of namesand dates as old as 1870. The wallsare covered with maps and pictures,but they have only one small black-board, which is nothing but boardpainted black. They have a smallshed and play yard in the rear, but

the front of the building borders

on the street, and you couldn't tellit from a grocery store, barn or post

office. All the children wear woodenshoes and the boys wear a sort of

black calico dress outside over theirtrousers, the same as the girls. Ican't tell them apart if they have a

hat on.We take a long hike once a week

and have been through nearly every

village near here, but they are all

nearly the same. They all have astone church with a big steeple inwhich hangs three or four bellswhich are rung on every occasion, it

seems. The churches are very pretty

inside, filled with statues, crosses

and candles. The people here arenearly all Catholic.

I went thru a large museum of

paintings and sculpturing* in Limog-

es not long ago. It was certainlyvery beautiful and worth seeing.There were many paintings dated1700.

The news that peace had finallyclosed the Great War certainly de-lighted the Lynden distil't, and Itwasn't a bit backward about ex-

i! \u25a0"Kaiser Bill," the big porker that

J. C. Beach and Ray Hoekstra had

. suspended from a gallows during theLynden peace celebration parades,

. brought a fine sum into Lynden's

War Chest at the celebration Monday.Messrs. Beach and Hoekstra do-

nated the animal to the War Chest,' and it was sold out at a dollar a

. pound at the close of the program.The sales ot pork amounted to

1 $102.58.
