en- With Condensery

dairy conditions in the Lynden dis
trict rose to hitherto unknown
heights Monday. when the price of

the second raise within a few days.
The price of butter now stands at
AZ cents a pound, which means a
butterfat return of at least 50 cents
for the Lynden dairyman. The high
est previous mark known here was
As cents a pound, set some four or
five years ago.
In 1915, the top mark was 81 cents

SAYS HOLLAND MUST
KILL BEEF CATTLE
Henry Rakker, Formerly OF Lynden,
Tells OF Hardships People Face
In The Netherlands

That Holland will kill thousands
OF beef cattle this winter because of
the shortage of feed, is the report of
Henry Baker, formerly of LINDEN.
who now resides at Apeldoorn, Hol-
land. Mr.. Baker describes the sit
uation in the following letter receiv-
ed by Taylor and Riddle this week:
IF the war lasts this winter, says
Mr.. Baker, there will be a great
scarcity of grain for bread Half of
the chickens kept in Holland are Kill
led already for want of feed, and this
fall, Holland intends to export and
also kill for its own use thousands of
beef cattle, all because there is no
feed to keep them.
Our horses are unsightly and
meager. OF course, everything is
high in price now. but we have not
actually suffered so far. A short
time ago, the potatoes were becoming
short, and of the small amount LEFT
we had to send a great deal to Eng
land, because we had sent a great
amount of them to Germany last
fall. Then there was a great rebel
lion in Amsterdam. whereby several
people got killed and others were SER
iously wounded. Luckily the new
potatoes are coming in now.
"Of what We export. half goes to
Germany and half to England. We
have to export to Germany, or else
we do not get coal. We are anxious
already about how we will keep our
living room warm and our food cook
ed. The fuel, of course, is distribut-
ed, a certain amount to each family,
as is done with food, like bread, peas,
beans. oatmeal, barley, soap, kero-
sene, etc.
Just now, it looks as if things
are going to change in Germany;
they are beginning to understand
there that they will have to give up
1.-THE liberal Hollan ers here are
all, with only a few exceptions, an
ti-German, and opposed to the par
ty here under DR.. Abraham Kuiper,
who favors the aristocratic and aut-
ocratic rule, as is represented until
now in the German government.
Il believe that by the time the main
forces of the American troops appear
on the battlefield in France, peace
will be very near.
Il was very glad that Uncle Sam
went in at last, and saved the world
from the brute power"

WILSON RULING WON'T
CHANGE LOCAL QUOTA
Statement About Married Men Agrees
With Whatcom County Boards
Procedure

The message of President Wilson
assuring exemption from the draft
to married men will not affect the
quota of Whatcom County. The loo
al exemption board had already TAX
en- the same stand, so that the pres
idential ruling merely backed them
up.
The only married men passed by
the county board were those who
were married since the conscription
law went into effect, and it is not
believed that the presidents ruling
will exempt these.
That the district board will allow
exemptions to farmers was indicated
yesterday, when the claims of John
Anton Weide of Clearbrook and Hen
ry Byers of Ferndale were allowed.
The call for $50 more men was
sent out by the county board today.
This brings the total number to be
called before the county board to
900, approximately one-half of the
list of men registered in the county.
Examinations will be held at Bel
lingham on September 5, 6 and Z.
The following from the local dis
tricts have been certified to the war
department for service, in addition
20 the list already published:

ration of $4,000 for a building and
for maintenance. He soon found
that it would be utterly impossible
to pass such a bill. Lynden was
objected to as a location, and even
his legislative associates from What
com county opposed the measure Mr..
Anderson was about ready to drop
the matter indefinitely. fearing that
a majority of the members of the
legislature were opposed to any more
Normal schools, as we had two al
ready, and it was taxing our re-
sources to care for the institutions
already established.
Finally. the appropriation was cut
from the bill, which then passed. and
Governor McGraw selected Belling-
ham as the site for the school.

LOCAL COWS SCORE
HIGH IN STATE TEST
Whatcom County Cattle Show But
One Per Cent Tubercular In Re-
markable Examination

Out of the first six hundred What
com County cows tested this week
for tuberculosis by DR.. w. ID. Gar
rett of the State Department of Ag-
riculture. less than one per cent gave
any signs of the disease. Just how
remarkable this showing is may be
seen when comparing it with the
score made last year in Skagit Coun-
ty, when sixteen per cent of the
stock was found to be tubercular.
In the Lynden district, DR.. Garrett
examined herds belonging to the fol
lowing:
B. c. Crabtree,
John Bierlink.
Henry Bierlink.
Gerrit Bierlink.
Peter Meenderinck.
Wander Griend Brothers.
Nels jacobson
William Lauckhart
r. E. Hawley.
Carl Hanson.
Frank Elsner
Thomas Doyle.
H. Howell.
C. G. Carlson.
R. A Baer.
Every dairyman should take ad-
vantage of this opportunity that the
state offers them free said DR.. Gar
rett today. When the State puts
a stamp of approval on a herd, it
raises the value of that herd in many
ways. and protects the owner from
any annoyances or suspicion. At
Ferndale today, we are giving pub
lie demonstration of the value of this
test We found one COW that looks
exceptionally healthy. for which the
owner recently paid one hundred dol
iars. We are going to prove that 1t
is badly infected, and demonstrate
how easy it is to be badly fooled in
these cases of tuberculosis.
1--WE shall be very glad to test free
any herd in the county, if proper ap-
plication is made to County Agric-
ulturist H. B. Carroll at the FEEDER
al Building, Bellingham. or by writ
ing him at Box 1876, Bellingham."
DR.. Garrett is being assisted in the
testing work by DR.. A.Saperstein of
Ferndale.
