LINDEN GOES WAY
ABOVE Y. M. c. A. QUOTA
District Subscribes $3.50, Greater
Amount Than Any Point Outside
OF Bellingham

| Lynden raised total of $1,550.5S
for the Y. M. C. A. war work last
week, a solid Il rec hundred dollars
above the allotment of the district
The showing was the best made by
any city in the county outside of Bel
| bingham.
The drive wound up with a grand
finish Saturday, and H. II. Jameson
president OF the local committee was
able to remit practically the entire
amount at once in cash, as but six
ty-four dollars of the total was rep
resented by pledges.
In addition to this fund, the Lyn-
den High Schol boys raised seven
hundred dollars by their own efforts.
Their allotment was two hundred dol
lars.
"We wish to thank the patriotic
group of lieutenants who aided in
making Lynden's fine showing" de-
clared II. II. Jcm.eson, head of the
local committee today. "The dist
rict is to be congratulated for it's
hearty response on behalf o. this
noble cause. Every dollar of their
money will go towards the splendid
work of helping make the conditions
better for our boys in the army"
Lyndens' boys will oversubscribe
their Y. M. c. A. pledge by $500,
according to an estimate made by w.
Boggan. manager of the local cam
paign. The girls are helping them
out with $500. and large amounts
are being raised in Northwood and
Glendale.
The boys have until April~third to
raise their money, and all of it must
be earned, or saved by them alone.
If the parents give them five or ten
dollars it will defeat the purpose
of the campaign which was inaugu
rated that the youth of America
might share the sacrifices with their
older brothers in the trenches and
training camps.
Mr.. BOggan suggests that boys
may save money by not buying a
coveted bicycle for which they have
boarded their pennies, or by putting
the winters share of picture show
and candy money into the campaign.
Each dollar, he says, should mean
an actual sacrifice by the boys them
selves.
Many of the Lynden campaigners
are earning their money by using
their spare time on Saturdays and
after school. Two boys have fixed
an old camera, and taken orders for
enough pictures to raise their pledg-
es Another is making an oat sprout-
er, while others are busy construct
ing trap nests and framing pictures.
The boys have been given the use
of the manual training shop outside
of class hours, but must pay for all
material which they use. One lad
from the country says he will pay his
pledge by cutting shingle bolts.

ASK LYNDEN WOMEN
TO KNIT FOR RED CROSS
Need For Knitted Goods To Protect
Soldiers Over Winter Is Tremend-
Gus; All Urged To Aid

Every woman in the Lynden dist
humanity by II. ID Gibson. general
manager of the American Red Cross,
to aid the Lynden branch in it's work
of knitting garments for the Amer
lean soldiers.
In a telegram received here this
week, Manager Gibson says:
''It is imperative that all of the
knitted goods for the soldiers that
can possibly be made by the women
of the country should be turned into
the supply department of the Red
Cross at the earliest possible dates.
with the cola weather coming on,
the demand for sweaters. especially,
has been beyond the capacity of all
our resources to supply. We have
forwarded promptly all knitted artic-
les received from the chapters, and
have in addition been compelled to
buy in the market $4,000 sweaters,
of which about 100000 have been
delivered. These sweaters are mach
inc-kn;t, and the yarn used is a mix
ture of cotton and wool, so that it
does not withdraw any considerable
amount of yarn from the women knit
ters of the Red Cross.
I'VE call upon the Lynden women
to give us their best efforts from now
until at least January 1 that we may
be able to furnish our own men with
those comforts and have some to
spare for the dire needs in France"
The Lynden Red Cross this week
purchased all the yarn that could be
obtained at the Lynden stores, and
now has large supply on hand. Lad
les desiring to aid can obtain yarn
and instructions from Mrs. F. l..
Wood, chairman of the local chapter.
The following women have knit,
or are knitting for the Lynden branch

LUTZ AND Jones MAY
co TO CHAMBERSBURG

Manager Eddie Hooper, OF the
championship Chambersburg team of
the Blue Ridge League has wired Bill
MCGOWAN, local umpire, to send him
two good pitchers. Bill has about de-
cided to send Dutch" Jones, the
Eden-South Side boy, who has always
twirled good ball in the All-Wilming-
ton League. and Lefty Luke Lutz.
whom Bill boosts as the best of VIII
mington pitchers. Lutz needs but lit
tie introduction to local fandom. He
already has three no run games stow
ed away in his scrap book. Lutz has
a corking good motion for a South
paw, something that hundreds of as
piring young twirlers are often turned
down for lacking.
Should Lutz decide to take a crack
at professional base ball, his many
followers will watch his work with
interest. Lutz has shown that he has
the makings of a good twirler. He has
plenty of stuff, and is a good game
man in the pinches.

United Press staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, April 1.-The recen.
decision of a Wisconsin court, by
which Mike Collins was declared to
have an interest in the fortunes of
Fred Fulton, Minnesota heavyweight
should carry message to Tommy
Dixon. the former bantamweight of
Kansas City, Mo-
Tho claim Of Collins that he dis
covered Fulton wasting his young life
by daubing plaster around on walls
and made him fighter should supply
Dixon with plenty of laughter Forces
claim, also. that he was the original
Columbus as far as Fulton was con
cerned, should add a smoker to the
former scrapper.
Some years ago Dixon got into a
fuss with Ollie Kirk or some other
bantam around Missouri and he fell
out of the ring while the fight was
hot, swapping his arm. He beat it into
the wilds of Nebraska to recuperate.
While resting there he ran across a
ponderous man of inches, who mag
ined he could develop into a crusher
of white hopes and Dixon took him in
hand to develop him into a fighter.
Dixon was a clever boxer and a
smart ring general. He showed the
big man a lot Of tricks and finally
matched him for some bouts in Ne
braska, which the heavy man prompt
ly won.
Then Dixon drifted back to civiliz-
alton and began to predict what his
