| involved We wish to hold one of
satisfactory arrangements can be
made.
The plan is to hold a meeting Or
school which shall last from three
to six days according to the support
evidenced and the wishes of the peo-
pie.
The lines of instruction offered
would be those desired by the eom-
munity.. We have considered these
for Whatcom county:
.Dairying-Lectures and Demon
stration work.
Hog raising-Lectures and Judg-
ing.
Crops and Soils-Lectures and
practical work.
Domestic Science-Lectures and
cooking Demonstrations.
The courses would be decided up
on in consultation with local COM
mittee.
ITO handle this line of work pro-
perly would require that the College
send out six instructors and keep
them there throughout the course.
Regarding funds or eXpensas-the
College plans to pay the salaries anu
travelling expenses of the instructors.
The local community is asked TO pay
hotel expenses of instructors during
course and take care OF local eN-
penses resulting from the course.
Every person is required 10 re-
gister and pay small fee if he de-
sires to take advantage of the course.
Then those receiving the dement's
make the course possible. If
hundred men and fifty women re-
gister for a short course all expenses
are pretty we'll assured.
NO place has been decided upon
for the holding of the course. Ayn-
den has been suggested and l be-
liave would be good location.
THE College is not trying to sad
die these courses upon any community
We expect to hold two this year.
Cashmere has guaranteed an attend
ance of 800, and We plan to hoid
one course there. The other course
we desire to hold in Western wash
ington and preferably in Whatcom
county if the people of the county
want it.
'If | can be of any further service
please advise me. Thanking you Tor
your interest and assuring you Of our
desire to make the extension Work
of the great value to our farmers.

time Hemmy was brushing his trou
sers and sucking in some deep COB
of air. The umpire was watching th
runner to first. After all that ha
been told had happened he turned
around and saw the catcher with tn,
ball in his hand. He yelled:
"Out on home"
The first man to holler at the de-
cision was the Blaine catcher. HI
yelled to the umpire that the player
was safe. His jumps looked undecid.
ed. The pitcher captain yelled al
him that the man was out, and his
jumps puffed out his cheeks and an
nounced that he would not change his
decision.
A large number of Seattle people
who were present got up and left in
protest of the umpire's decision. LyE.
den protested but offered rather than
tc. quit the game to give up the score
providing Blaine would consent IL
put second umpire on the field.
Nothing doing. That umpire was
necessary according to the Blaine cap
tain's way of thinking and he didn't
want anyone there to question his
decision. There was nothing else Cor
Lynden to do but quit. and SO, Lyn-
den quit
However, right then and there Lyn-
den challenged Blaine to another
game at any time and any where
where two impartial umpires could he
secured. Blaine acted then as if she
wasn't afraid to try it again. Since
that time Blaine seems to be get
ting a little nervous and though the
Lynden manager has offered every
concession imaginable, 50 far they
have refused to name the time or
place.
LINDEN will not be happy until
she has shown Blaine how tie nat
ional game is played when the um-
pires are impartial.
We don't figure Blaine has chance
and it begins to looA as if they
figure like us.

LYNDEN WATER

Is nor good but there is not enough
ot it.
ine Tribune has been very slow
admitting this fact. | dislike pro-
Gaining it now. But, when We know
We have made a mistake, it is not
iFalseworthy to deny it. The thing
10 do is TO correct the mistake.
Lyuden has nearly or quite 200

iot afford not to have the plant On

hcient quantities. l do not think
anyone is attempting to use city
Water for drinking purposes. Some
housewives will not even use it for
laundry purposes. The consequence
is that Few people are paying water
rents, and. instead of the number of
uses growing larger, it will from now
on grow smaller unless pure water is
obtained.
Ii the Tribune remembers cor
rectly 1t was Councilman Heaton,
who proposed before the present
weils We're completed to abandon
them and go to some of the springs
along the river banks. There are
several OF these springs in the east
part OF the town. 1t seems 10 me
that the council should at once
make official tests of those,
springs and other sources of supply
available at once. If there is noth-
ing better We know We can always

ed 7es loss. aside from the digging
and tarbing of the present town well
wSl got be great. The property
uo .n, for the water system, is,
the Tribune believes we'll worth all
the own paid for it.
However even if the cost, addit-
iona, will be two or three thousand
dollars still it should be made. We
need city water badly, and we must
have pure water. There is plenty OF
good water in and around Lynden
In fact no one knew there was any
bad water until the city just happen
ed to strike it.

Senator Stone did not make good his

State Law Is Good Says Su'

Atlanta, Ga, March 3.-The 81
preme Court Of Georgia has comple-e-
ly sustained the constitutionality OF
the narcotic drugs act in a Savannah
case, that of former Coroner H. ;.
Stanley, and other physicians and
druggists, against the state.
DR.. Stanley was convicted Of a VIC
lation Of the act which prohibits thu
sale of cocaine, morphine or any ma
cotic drug to any person, except on 4
physicians bona fide prescription and
was fined $1,000, or sentenced to serve
twelve months.
The case was appealed to the Sill
preme court on the ground that the
law is unconstitutional because it con-
tains more than one subject matter,
and because it contains matter in the
body of the act which is not noted n

The Supreme court turns down boch
of these grounds and holds that the
law is constitutional so that the YER
