Ed. F. Racey has sold his restau-
rant to Geo. F. Witch at % South

their liberal patronage and asks that

Anyone having accounts against mc

Settlement was reached in both
cases against the Standard Oil COM
pany. yesterday. As stated in The
Gate City yesterday, one case was
sure to be settled and the other one
probably would be included. The case
Of Bunyan vs.. the company was set
tied and Hines VS.. the Standard Oh
company was likewise compromised.
Stipulations dismissing both cases are
on file.
The fact OF there being no full
moon this month is still considered in
teresting enough to chronicle. An ex-
change says: There will be no full
moon this month This is due to the
fact that full moons follow one an
other at intervals Of, approximately,
2qH days. The intervals are irregular
because our calendar is based on the
solar instead Of the lunar system. The
last time a month passed without q
fuII moon-in America, at least-was
In 1s47. In 1885 Europe had no full
moon during February, but the full
moon was visible before midnight on
the last day Of the month In this
country because of FIVE hours differ
ence in time. February, because 1t
contains fewer days, is the only
month that is ever sighted in this
way. There were two full moons last
month and there will be two next
month After that each month will
have one full moon for several years.

municipal courts, legal aid societies,
and public defenders. The first state
act for small debtors courts has now
been in operation in Kansas for year,
and has worked so well that other
states might be asking if it should NOT
be copied. Its mechanism is extreme
ly simple. Town and county officials
appoint as judge some reputable citi-
zen who is sympathetically inclined to
consider the condition OF the poor,
friendless, and unfortunate" Any
person, unable to pay ordinary court
costs, who feels himself unjustly de-
prived of sums under 500, may state
his case; the defendant is called. and
tried without lawyers; and the Judge
may order an execution on the defend
ants property, though this is seldom
necessary. II is. OF course, wages that
are most often sued for. Topeka and
Leavenworth report 500 claims settled
to the discontinue OF swindlers, and
in such way that there are 500 peo-
Pile whose sense of justice has been
satisfied-who have been relieved in a
degree at least of the retarding and
often vindictive belief that all things
work against the poor" Public atten-
ton has been directed to the plan in
Massachusetts.

and a person cannot be placed in it
with any degree Of safety TO the
city unless a Waterman is also left
with him. Next the Fire Depart
mnet is not properly housed; there
is not floor room enough for The
apparatus TO be properly placed,
also the floors are too weak 10
stand the weight. They have no
meeting room whatever of their
own 10 meet in or pass the long
winter evenings in. They have
even had TO rent another building
for a home in order to keep up in
terest and attendance which is
very hard to do in a volunteer Fire
Department like this. You must
give them a little pleasure along
with having good drenching once
in a while.
The reading room is another very
important and a necessary unit IN
towns development, and should
be better cared for. And | do not

give it a much better home han

The above may seem to you TO
be impossible after all the street
improvements are considered and
the financial condition of the town,
but let me show you two ways 10
get a new reading room, new and
up-to-date council chambers, jail
that will stand all tests, and prop
er fire protection and support.
First let US consider selling all
the property, We will say for So
900 or even less. We would men
have $4,000 TO 90 where We WISH,
10 buy a much cheaper lot, say for
81 900 or $500. We would then
have 1900 or $500 with which
to build with. This more than is
needed.
The next plan which is just as
good only would not give quite as
much freedom or room is 10 sell
one half of the property and build
on the other half. This lot is 80
by 40 feet. A % it. by 100 #.
building with a full basement and
TWO stories above will amply hold
all and can be built for half the
value of the whole property.
Yours respectfully,

Berry Facts

Here are some facts to study
Mr.. Whatcom County Farther:
/. Berries brought four cents
q pound last year.
2. Some of your nelghbors
made as high as $3.50 net per
acre. after deducting all the costs
OF production.
3. Experts have declared again
and again that the soil of this dis
trict is as good for berry purposes
as the Puyallup Valley ianu'
Some say it is better.
4. The financial report of the
Puyallup and Sumner Fruit Grow
ers' Association issued at the close
of business Dec. 81, 1914. shows
net earnings during 1914 of SZo,-
4O6.93, a surplus now of 100000
from business done on a capital OF
S2,503.00.
5. Berry land in the Puyallup
district brings from $500 10
$1,000 per acre.
6. A market for all berries
produced in this section OF the
Nooksack Valley at four cents a
pound is now assured. This price
was offered by representative VI
the Puyallup association at the an
nual meeting of the Lynden asSo-
citation TWO weeks ago.

PEACE.

From the y. Y. Evening Post.
Senator La Follette's resolution, au-
thorizing the President to seek joint
action by neutral nations, in order TO
secure peace, may not be got through
Congress, and if it is it may not be i'm
mediately effective, but is move in
the right direction. 1t would be an i'm
pressive tender of good offices TO the
belligerent countries. None of them
might accept it, at first. Any sign by
one of willingness TO cease fighting
would be taken by the others as con
fession of weakness. But the resolu-
ton of Senator La Toilette goes much
further than proffer of mediation. 1t
includes the terms of lasting peace
peace without a worm in it, In Crom-
wells phrase. For the plan is TO
urge as an essential part of the settle
ment an agreement TO limit arma-
ments; to prevent the further private
manufacture and private sale of arms
and munitions of war; and TO provide
al international court before which
all nations shall bind themselves to
bring their grievances. The whole
scheme may be said to be impractical
bic, at present. 1t can scarcely be
more impracticable than the war is
showing itself to be. In any case, the
adoption of the resolution by Con-
gress, and an earnest attempt by the
President to carry it out, would be
fitting sequel to the refusal OF the
United States to rush into big arma-
ments at this time, and would show
what power we still believe TO reside
IL moral forces.

A New CITY Hall

The suggestion was made at the
last council meeting that the city
hall property be sold, and that the
proceeds be used to erect build
ing on a cheaper lot which would
adequately house all the city de-
partments.
"A few years ago, the same plan
was proposed TO the council, and al
that time the bank offered to pur-
chase the corner lot. For some
reason. the council voted unfavor-
ably on the proposition
