BUTTER GOES BACK
TO RECORD PRICE
Leaps Again to Record Figure of
District Established Three Months
Ago

Butter leaped back Monday to i3
cents a pound, equalling the record
established in November and main
tanned for but brief week.
1t is believed that the present con-
dition of the market and the supply,
will hold the price steady at the pres
ent mark for some time. Before
this figure was set two months aga,
the highest previous point in the hist
ory of the district was 80 cents.
Last year, the most advanced price
paid the Lynden dairymen TO- but
terfat was 81 cents a pound. The
new price of butter means that they
will get 46 or Al cents this month.
A pleasant feature in connection
with the generous receipts OF The
dairymen is that hay is plentiful this
year, selling for as low as $500 a ton
in comparison with 1916 when it
was scarce even at $4,000 a ton.
Eggs have not been so fortunate
the past week, the price having fall
len off, although a rise is looked for.

SAYS FARMER GETS LESS FOR
BIG CROPS THAN LITTLE ONES

That the farmer receives less fer
his bumper crops than he gets for
his lean ones, although the handling
of the one involves infinitely more
labor than the gathering and mark
eting of the other, is a statement
made by William J. Showalter, a
Washington economist, in a paper
brought to the attention of the house
of representatives by Representative
Flood of Virginia in connection with
the high cost of living issue. He
shows how the farmers of the world
received a billion dollars less for
their bumper grain crop of 1912 than
they got for the lean one of 1911,
how those of the United States rec
eived 100000 less for their big
corn crop of 1912 than for their lean
one of 1911, and how the wheat
growers got s64,00O,0O0 less for the
bumper wheat crop of 1906 than they
did for their lean one OF 1907.

WEIRD ANIMALS FROM ABROAD
Captain of Ship Which Brought Them
Over Tells Some Remarkable
Tales of His Passengers.

A collection Of animals, including
lions, tigers, emus, chimpanzees,
snakes, chameleon Zebras, parrots,
leopards and 700 monkeys, arrived the
other day on a British freighter, con-
signed to Louis Ruhe, an animal deal
er, for distribution among the zoologi-
cal gardens in the western states, says
the New York Times.
According to the captain, the most
remarkable animals on board were the
four chameleons, zebras, which had red,
white and blue stripes, and were first
seen in Uganda by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt on his African hunting trip.
One of the zebras put its forefoot on
a hot brick and turned blue, the cap
tain declared, and when the native at
tendant, Lambam, placed it in cold
salt water the animal turned white.

guished from some kinds Of human be-
ings when they were attired in dun
