w. R. C. NOTES

The w. R. c. held their last meet
ing for this year at the G. A. r. hall.
Fourteen members were present. Sis
ter Kelsey and Mrs. Van Patten are
at home renewing their youth-the
one in her unselfish care OF her
daughter, and the other in her help
less dependence on her old mothers
tenderness. Comrade Reed was re-
ported better, having discharged his
nurse. Comrade Spaulding is sitting
up. Comrade Rusco has called in
the doctor, and had an abeess lanced.
Sister Randall sent in Il message that
Comrade Randall was better but was
not able to be out. The Corps is
sorry to lose the Red Cross from the

Better health. more happiness, and

WORK TO GET NEW
LYNDEN MAIL ROUTE
Residents Along Everson Route 8
Appeal To Postmaster-Gen For
Relief

A determined effort to re-district
the mail territory included under the
control of Everson R. F. d. No. 3 so
as to give patrons along that route
better service was inaugurated this
week, when petitions for a new route
from Lynden and revised route out
of Everson were filed with the post
master-general.
Under the changed system propos-
ed, considerable new territory not
being served now is added, so that
both the Lynden and Everson routes
would be large ones.
People along Everson r. F. D. No
have been complaining bitterly for
years because ii took from one to
three days for them to get mail from
Lynden, although the large proport-
ion of the route is within a few miles
of Lynden, and has its principal in
terests in Lynden. The reduction of
the train service on the B. and N.
railroad to a single train day has
been largely responsible for the mail
delays.
F.. M. Bloom of Northwood is hand
ling the appeal of the mail patrons
from the Lynden end, and can give
information about the proposed new
routes.

LYNDEN POULTRYMEN
FACE WHEAT EMBARGO
Government May Prohibit Use OF
Grain For Chickens: Would Be
Blow To Industry

Whether the United States govern
ment will permit them to use whea,
to feed their poultry. is the problem
facing Lynden poultrymen this week
One group of poultrymen which
had pooled their interests to buy a
car OF wheat, has been notified that
ine government has not yet released
the grain for poultry purposes.
Wheat is necessary in balanced
ration for egg production. and should
the government deny it entirely to
the poultrymen, the egg industry
would receive a death blow.
The Portland Telegram last week
had the following article on the sit
uation which il true. should arouse
the poultrymen to action:
1T is understood that mills have
been ordered to stop making scratch
food with wheat in it. What can be
used as a substitute for this partic-
ular grain is not known. Mills will
be allowed to sell what they have on
hand, it is said, but cannot make any
more unless something is found to
take ihe place of wheat. At the pres
ent time. some of the mills have been
using a small. shriveled wheat. un-
fit for milling and which the hens re-
fuse to eat in many instances.
THAT a real hardship is to be
worked on the poultry raiser seems
to be an assured fact. Some way out
may be found, but nobooy appears
to know what it is Corn is SO
everlastingly high one cannot afford
to feed that at $S4 ton. and there
is not a thing on the list that has not
punctured the sky. 1t would appear
that some action might be taken on
behalf of the farmers and poultry
but nothing OF consequence
has been done yet"

LINDEN MOSS IS o. X.
FOR ARMY BANDAGES
University Says Local Sphagnam Is
Kind Needed In Hospitals; High
School Class Gathers 1t

That the moss found around Lyn-
den is the kind desired for surgical
purposes in the hospitals of France,
was the information received this
week by Miss Margaret Mcguire, in
strut tor in botany at the Lyn len
High School, from the University of
Washington.
Hiss Mcguire has had her classes
out this week gathering the moss,
a., has prepared large 81 ipment
to be sent to tn University.
Anyone who desires to gather the
moss can receive further instruct
ions from Miss Mcguire at the high
school.
The following is the letter recev :
ed from the University, containing
instructions about gathering the
moss:
Sphagnum moss occurs in low,
swampy places especially in and
around cranberry bogs Large guam
titles of this moss are found in the
Puget Sound region and seldom is
our winter SO severe as to hinder
the gathering of it. This is in mark
ed contrast with the condition found
in the Middle West and on the At
lantic seaboard, where the collection
is practically stopped as soon as the
winter sets in. This fact makes the
region along the Pacific Coast high
ly desirable for this phase of Red
Cross work.
It has been found that great deal
of time can be saved by a little care
il collecting this moss. The cleaner
the moss can be gathered the more
.aluable it becomes as it saves
great deal of time in sorting. 1t Is
hest to take a small handful at
time. shake to get rid of most OF the
foreign matter like leaves from trees,
twigs. roots, etc. If wet, squeeze
ont as much water as possible before
putting it in the bag. While gather-
ing moss it is wise to clean out all
the good moss in given space before
proceeding to another because after
a growth has once been disturbed
the adjoining plants usually deterio-
rate and sometimes die. DON'T
RUN OVER A WHOLE PATCH
PICKING SOME HERE AND
THERE. PICK ALL THE GOOD
MATERIAL AS YOU GO.
The moss should be collected in
clean gunny sacks. If the sacks nave
been used for potatoes or similar ma
terial. they should We uolled at least
one hour and then dried before us
ing them.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the
importance of the care in gathering
the moss in the field. In ordinary
localities it is impossible at best to
avoid collecting considerable poor
moss and q certain amount OF grass
and leaves. but it must be remember
ed that such foreign material not
only takes the place of useful moss
in the sack, but also that it has TO
be laboriously removed by hand when
the stuff is sorted. Practical ex-
perience has shown that carelessness
on the part OF the collector often
decreases the efficiency and output
of the sorter to an enormous extent
and not frequently renders an other
wise useful supply of moss worth
less for practical purposes.
