George Kirkpatrick and the sec
ond number will be Friday night at

Walker, who will deliver a lecture
and illustrate 1t with cartoons that
he will draw on the stage.
There was a good crowd present
to hear Mr.. kirkpatrick, one Of
the leading Socialists Of the conn
try. and the nominee Of his party
for vice-president. The speaker
spoke on the subject of the present
war, and gave its causes and the
cure for all wars from the stand
point of the Socialist philosophy.
The lecture Friday night will be
attractive, since all cartoonists on

TO THE PATRONS AND FARM.
ERS OF WHATCOM COUNTY

There hao been adopted by the
Houes of Representatives and is
now pending in the Senate al
amendment, the Madden rider" II
the Postoffico Appropriation BIZ,
which If not killed will prove the
opening waige for other amend
ments until our parcel post is at
terly destroyed.
The Madden rider" arbitrarily
prevents any increase of weight
limit. Since crate of eggs or a
bushel of apples, peaches or al
most anything a farmer should be
able to market by rational parce'
post weighs more than SO lbs, this
is direct blow in Itself against
tho farmers possible use of parce
post through improvements.
Write to your Senator and tel
him that you want the amendmen
killed. 1t has taken US 20 years
of constant effort to get parcei
post service, but the express COM
panies are still on the job, and
are using every effort to cripple
the service. Everybody write. Dc

Waterspouts.

\ water>iDut is a miniature toli,ad,
originating in strong upward draft Of
air which occurs above the surface Of
body OF comparatively warm water
Its effect first becomes visible in a
circular motion ut the point of the
cloud to which it nscends. This be-
comes whirl. which condenses the
vapor at its center. causing the portion
of the cloud there to drop downward
in the shape of gigantic jelly bag AT
the same time the continuing upward
draft increases the raplity Of its orig
inal swirl and the condensed vapor
caught within it until the ascending
and descending masses Join to form the
waterspout. Necessarily by this pro-
cess the air beneath the spout is rare
fled. and thus where the phenomenon
occurs at sea the water always seems
to be sucked up into it. although this is
not really the case to any considerable
extent.

enough, do not affect this ornament.
