ROOSEVELT TALKS ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

San francisco.-In his second iec-
ture, delivered before 10000 people,
Roosevelt asserted that he was not
particularly favorable to woman suf-
frage. and declared that the United
States is beginning to travel the path
of France, as far as the raising OF
children is concerned. In part he said:
81 am not strongly in favor of wo-
man suffrage 1t is infinitely less i'm
portant than many other questions
which affect women. A woman Is un-
worthy of her position unless she
thinks and feels more deeply OF her
duties than her rights Census re.

GEORGE ERR IS
GRANTED PATENT

George Err, has been granted his
patent on his latest invention-a win
dow latch, which will not only lock 4
window sash at any desired height,
but which will hold the sash so Sec
urely, even though it be much shrunk
en-. that it positively cannot rattle.
This is the third invention that Mr..
Err has patented, and is the first one
that he considered of enough value
to put money into it's manufacture.
His first invention was a rat rap
and his second cigar lighter. Both
were of enough value so that ne had
no trouble in disposing of mis- patents,
but he will not sell his window latch,
or lock, patent. He said this week:
L think | nave profited by exper-
ience. | intend to keep this patent
| myself. am now arranging for the
manufacture of the locks in the east
and | will spend several thousands
CT dollars in putting them on the
| market
1t is pretty hard to describe this
invention without pictures, though
it is SO simple that it seems wonder
it wasn't thought of long ago. The
lock or latch is set in the window
frame and works or catches upon
| the edge of the window sash chat

as in new ones and will entirely dc

them. The lock is separated by
little knob or lever that is IN tht
window frame. Mr.. Err has also de
signed a lock tht can be operated
only by key, to be used in hosp
itals and other places where it is de
srous that only certain people hand
the ventilation arrangements. Thes
locks are so positive that they are

LYNDEN WILL
HOLD FAIR

There is an old saying: When YOU
have anything good, pass 1t along
don't know if that applies TO ialrs
or not, but apparently Ferhdaie,
Sumas and Nooksack think 50. Lyn-
started the fair business two years
ago, having splendid one day iair,
at which the exhibits in the hgrlcul-
tural line beat anything at the state
fair. Last year we had a two days
fair and in spite of the wet had larS-
er and better exhibits and fully MS
many if not more visitors. 1t Was
a success in every way. Well, last
year Ferndae got notion that IT 100
must have a fair. didn't have time
to go. but | guess they had nice
time, if not such large exhibit is
there was here. This year Ferndale,
it is said is trying it again. 5umas
is trying to get up fair. ana ihe
editor at Nooksack is begging Ais
people to jump into the traces for the
same purpose.
Welcome to it friends, and may you
each and all have big exhibits anu
bigs crowds Lynden will go right
along with its fair. 1t will probable
be a three days fair this year ana
weeks fair another year. We nave
the money already in signt TO make
this years fair one of the. greatest
ever given in the Nook sack Valley.
We wanted you to join with us-no
want to change that-we want you
| TO join with us, and We want you
whether you also have fair or not
We are not going to try and stop VT
try and stunt your fair If you want
to have one, but We know ours can l.
be the whole successive want 1t to be
unless you will join in and help us.
Now here is just suggestion;
We are already pretty deeply INTO
this fair business. We are pledged
to it. We couldn't get out CT It II
we wanted to, and honor wouldn't let
us get out of it if we could. we
know our success in the fullest sense
depends upon your cooperation, and
we'd like awfully well to have it.
On the other hand, you aren't yet
started in the fair business. You are
suggesting fair simply because you
want TO do souIa.ainl. that @ih be Il
good advertisement for your town
and country Well there are Other
WAYS besides fairs to accomplish such
results and as neishbors We would
like to help you in whatever you
attempt We can help you more IN
most anything else than in fairs,Not
that We would want to, but it would
be lust human nature to boost lond-
est for our own fair
Now honestly wouldn't It?
Say let's all pull together. If we
can't all pull together, let's none Of
us haul back on the trace at least

New York-One hundred and forty'

from the East Side, were crushed 10
death on the pavements. smothered
by smoke or burned to a crisp IN the
worst fire known since the steamer
Slocum was burned to the water S
edge off North Brother Island IN lSo4'
Nearly all, if not all, OF the victims
were employed by the Triangle waist
Company on the eighth, ninth ana
tenth floors of 10-story building at
23 Washington place, on the western
fringe of the downtown wholesale
district.
Seven hundred hands, 500 OF them
women. were employed by the shirt
waist company. They sat in rows at
their whirring machines, the tables
before them piled with flimsy cloth,
the floor Uttered with lint. the air
itself full of flying, infiammable dust.
The first rust of flame was almost an
explosion, catching operators in their
chairs, their lungs scared by inhallns
flames.
In such a horrible stream did the
bodies overflow from the WINDOWS
that the fire-nets stretched by the first
company to arrive were soon gorged
beyond capacity. Twelve bodies
weighted one net to the bursting point,
but the bodies kept on ,umDling TO-
the pavement through meshes that
could no longer sustain them.
Among the bodies are more thar
so beyond all semblance OF human
form and they will have to share a.
common grave as unidentified dead.
Loss to property will not exceed
100000.
Revised counts show 141 dead, with
12 women and girls at deaths door

fifty, all told, will perhaps conserva-
lively cover the casualties when those
whose horrible hurts and burns are
fatal shall have joined their fellow
workers in pine ccfIins at the morgue.

OUR CREAMERIES
AMONG THE BEST

Lynden is famed for it's high-class
butter. Our dairy product is known
all over the west For that reason iho
following letter on Market Condlt-
ions of butter, issued by the U. 5.
Agricultural Department is Of especial
interest here.
The most impressive facts brought
out concerning butter markets during
the last few weeks have been the
great amount OF butter in storage, the
difference in price between the good
and poor grades and the growing
demand by dealers for first class but
ter.
Many creamery managers have been
wondering and asking the Why's and
'wherefores' OF the present conditions
The answer is simple. 1t Is Just
another case of supply and demand.
Warehouse men report chat there
were in storage on January l, 1911,
approximately 70, 900 900 pounds Of
butter more than at the same time
in 1910 and the fresh butter received
during January, 1911, exceeded last
years receipts for the same month
by over 10, 900 packages.
The demand for the finest butter
has continued large but there is IL
very small demand for the poor butt
er and the supply has accumulated
and forced the price of the inferior
grades of butter down to low point.
The unexpectedly large quantities
of fresh butter which arrived on the
markets this winter have taken the
place OF stored goods, consequently
the markets have been flooded with
held goods particularly of inferior
grades.
fn order to dispose of these large
quantities Of, held butter for which
there was SO little demand, it was
necessary to sacrifice the samefat 4
price low enough to create a iemand
and force it's sale in the market.
With the very marked decrease IN
the price of held butter came also
lowering of prices on al grades of
fresh butter OF which the poor grades
were most severely affected.
During the first week of November
New York special were quoted at 3S.5
cents and seconds at 27 centss a diff
erence of 6.5 cents. Continuing thr-
uogh the latter half of Jan. ana
far far into February prices on special
varied from 27 to 20 cents while sec
onds showed relative variation Vt
from 21 to % cents making diff
erence OF to cents. and on account
of the greatly cOngested condition of
the market during the last half of
February this variation was 10 TO
1912 cents and still prevails. 1t is
evident that the wide difference in
price between good and poor butter
will continue.
The conditions which existed this
winter will have their effect and in
the future buyers will insist onbqual
ity and will, no doubt, pay more near
ly according to grade.
The consumers will no longer he
satisfied with poor butter. They know
good butter and will continue to dem
and it. 1t is up to the creameries TO
manufacture it. Consumers are will
ing to pay for a first class article,
the buyers are demanding quality and
paying on that basis. Now is The
time for you to work for quality and
pay for your raw product on such Il
basis. The local creameries can, in
this way, drive the bad cream from
the market. Quality must come be-
fore quantity and it will be more
profitable to inaugurate the quality
system now than to be forced into
it later.

the state-aid road money and directed
that the money paid in by the coun-
ties for state-aid roads and never

sum less than 100000 was used by
the counties. Now the balance must
be returned to them.
