BUTTER PRICE GOES
UPWARD THREE CTS.
Euitcrfat Now At II Cents, With
Predictions That 1t Will Continue
10 Go Higher

The price of butter mounted up
ward three cents a pound this week,
the Wholesale price of butter now be-
ing 49 cents a pound. Butterfat is
At cents pound.
The new price gives the creamer-
les a considerably better hold in the
competition for the milk with the
condenseries.
A report on the market conditions
from Seattle this morning has the
following prediction:
General shortage of cream and
butter is the situation which city
creamerymen are compelled to face
despite two inclines in prices within
ten days. The market is poised for
another accentuation of prices, and
were it not for the expectation that
the government may check abnormal
price tendencies by communicating
ing 60 q zoe pound for fresh churn-
ed stock today, in the opinion of the
dealers, who are trying to follow
bids for butter fat. Dealers declare
that 60 cents retail is now a possib-
ility in butter before early fall unless
the situation changes radically"

Closing the Deal

The final scene Of the betrayal of the people
Of Whatcom County by Commissioners Mcmillan
and Slater will come tomorrow, when the two COM
missioners open the bids on the Marietta BRIDGE
and set the machinery in action for the wasting of
forty thousand dollars and more of the public
funds
And all for the sake of prediction promise
to please a handful of people, among whom are in
cuded the wealthy owners of Lummi Island prop
erty who want the bridge to quicken the distance
to their holdings!
Forty thousand dollars would make many,
many miserable crossroads in the county happy
and would benefit one hundred farmers, where
one would gain by the spick structure proposed for
Marietta. Or it would replace the tottering bridge
at Ferndale, or repair dozen shaky ones at other
points in the county. But the ordinary citizen, the
man who makes up the thousands of the county's
population, has nary friend on the Whatcom
County throne, and no one powerful enough to
gain the ear of the czars for him.
And so tomorrow, unchecked, Messrs. Nc
MILAN and Slater will seal the contracts probably
and provide for an unnecessary, expensive struct-
ure, that any spring may follow the old one at the
same point out to the bay, or stand up idly when
the old Nooksack shifts out from under it, as is
its playful habit.

GOVERNMENT ISSUES CALL
FOR MANY STENOGRAPHEFS

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that, as
sufficient number of male and female
stenographers will not be secured
from the examination held July Z,
1877, to meet the needs of the public
service, an examination has been
announced to be held at forty OF the
principal cities in the Northwest on
July 21st.
Men typewriters without the know
ledge of stenography are desired es-
pecially in connection with the Quar-
termaster Corps, U. S. Army, at an
entrance salary of $1,000 per year.
A majority of the clerks in the Quar-
termaster Corps, U. S. Army, are be-
ing selected from the typewriter
register, and all male typewriters
who can qualify are urged to apply
for the examination July 21st 1t
is expected that practically all men
who qualify as typewriter will be
rendered appointment.
There are excellent chances for
the appointment OF women who pass
the combined stenographer and
typewriter examination and who are
willing to accept positions at an en-
trance salary of from 5000 to 81 900
per annum.
Arrangements will be made by the
District Secretary to examine all
persons who write to him, subject to
the subsequent filing and approval
of applications, provided the request
is received at Seattle in sufficient
time to arrange for examination at
the place nearest to the applicants
residence where the examination will
be held
Inquiries concerning the July 21st
examination should be addressed to

MUST GO TO CITY TO
GET DRAFT NUMBERS
But Two Lists or Numbers On Ey-
hibition; Eligibles Will Know Or
der OF COnscriptiOn

Lynden men who desire to know
what the official registration num-
ber given them by the county board
is, will have to go to Bellingham to
find out, as but two lists of the num-
bers are on file in the county.
One of these is at the headquart-
ers of the board, while the other is
at the auditors office at the court
house. This last list is open to pub
lie inspection.
Each person registered in What
com County has been numbered, and
these numbers have been sent on to
Washington, d. c. for the drawing,
which will probably come Saturday
The Whatcom County local ex-
emptiOn board, which is composed
of DR.. E. S. Clark of Sumas, George
Montfort of Blaine, and Paul Hood
of Ferndale, will not consider the
questions of exemption for any other
cause than physical disability or de-
pendent relatives. The whole matter
of industrial exemptions is left to the
superior boards, one of which has
been created in each federal judicial
district.
No individual case where exempt
ion is desired because the registrant
is engaged in an industry classified
as vital to the conduct of the war will
be taken up until that individual has
been called up for examination by
his local board, found to be without
dependents, and physically fit for
military duty, and certified to the
superior board. After that, applic-
alton to the superior board for ex-
emption on other grounds will be ad-
missible. The registrant or his en-
ployer may file the necessary affid-
avits with the superior board seek
ing exemption, and tho case will be
heard promptly.
Every registrant will have to BE
informed, not only of the serial num-
ber placed on his card by the local
board, but also of the exact number
of registrants in his district. Given
his own number and the total of reg
istrants in his district, any regis
trant can figure out what place he
occupies in line as soon as the re-
suits of the lottery are announced.
If there are 500 registered men,
every serial number above that will
represent a blank in that district
when it is drawn, and the rotation
numbers of the drawing will pass
them over. Thus, if No. 1928 were
drawn first. No. 1 500 second and No.
1247 third, the order of liability in
a 500 district would be 1,42S first
and No. 1,247 second.

REQUESTS STORES TO
CURTAIL DELIVERIES
state Council of Defense Requests
Merchants To Eliminate Waste As
War Measure

Curtailment of the delivery system
OF Lynden stores may be the result
OF request received this week from
the State Council of Defense.
The State Council points out that
a large sum of money is being wasted
annually in unscientific delivery
methods. Lynden merchants are con-
sidering the suggestions of the Board
and will probably take action shortly
The following is the boards let
ter:
In the present emergency it is
absolutely necessary that the coun-
try S resources be used to full ad-
vantage to aid IN carrying on the
war. This means that all unneces-
sary services shall be eliminated in
retail trade as we'll as in other lines
Of Eisiness. The Commercial Econ,
omy Board has made a careful in
vaStigatiOn of the economies that
are possible in the delivery se' vice
of retail stores. This shows that a
large number of men and vehicles
can be released for military or otner
service that is essential to the wei
fare of the country.
1.-The board points out, therefore,
that delivery service in retail res
must be substantially reduced i'm
mediately by restricting the free
delivery of small purchases, by
eliminating special deliveries, and by
other means. If possible. not more
than one delivery day should be
made on each route.
There is such an urgenr need for
men and equipment in other work
thai the country can not endure the
waste that is occasicned by the ac-
commodation delivery of small pur-
Chases.
'"The Board has found, further
more, that in numerous small and
medium-sized cities and towns cen
tral and cooperative delivery sys-
tens, have resulted in large savings.
Less than half of the men and
equipment are required. This
Board therefore recommends that
central or cooperative delivery sys-
TENS should be introduced generally
in small and medium-sized towns.
"The Board desires the co-opera-
tion of your association in making
these corrections Immediately affec-
tive. 4 hese changes in delivery
methods shoulds be introduced as
soon as practicable, certainly not
later than August 1, 1917.
"Please state to the members of
your association that the Board in
tends to use every resource at its
command, including the cooperation
of the State Councils of Defense.
yours very truly,

Historic Day For Suffraaists.
Mrs. Gait. Mrs. Park. Mrs. LaidlaW

Rankin to the door of the house OF
representatives and all the women
who were fortunate enough to have
secured seats in the galleries likewise
left their cars and went inside to see

of New York: Mrs. Henry B. F. Mac

This historic day in the suffrage
movement brought large numbers of
prominent women to Washington. Miss
Rankin was greeted at 8 o'clock with
a breakfast in her honor at the Shore
ham hotel, at which were represented
chiefly the groups of professional
and business women with whom
she had been associated, all. of them
likewise ardent suffrage workers. The
breakfast was arranged by a COM

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff, and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut Oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream

The Juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint or this sweetly
fragrant lemon lotion and massage IT
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty Of any skin. 1t
is simply marvellous to smoothen
rough, red hands.
