Wilson's Message to American Farmers

II take the liberty of advising this word to the
farmers of the country and to all who work on the
farms: The supreme need of our own nation, and
of the nations with which we are cooperating is
an abundance of SUPPLIES, and especially of food
stuffs The Importance of an adequate food supply,
especially for the present year, is superlative.
Without abundant food, alike for the armies and
the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise
upon which we have embarked will break down
and fail The worlds food reserves are low. Net
only during the present emergency, but for sonir
time after peace shall have come, both our own
people and large proportion of the peope of
Europe must rely upon the harvests in America
Upon the farmers Of the country, therefor, in
large measure rests the fate of the war ana the
fate of the nations.
MAY the nation not count upon them to omit no
step that will increase the production of their land,
that will bring about the most eectual co opcrat-
ion in the sale and distribution of their food pro-
ducts? The time is short. 1t is of the most imper
ative Importance that everything possible be do:e
and done Immediately to make sure of large har-
vests l call upon young men and old alike 2 "a
upon the ablebodied boys of the land to accept and
act upon this duty-to turn in hosts to the farms
and make certain that no pains and no .ahor Is
lacking in this great matter

the furniture line. he could compete
in price with any mail order house.

MANY SIGN PROTEST
AGAINST PAVING NOW
Signatures Come Fast On Petitions
To Postpone Hard-Surface Pro-
gram Temporarily

That thousands of names will be
on the petitions to the county CON-
missioners asking for a postponement
of the expensive road building pr
gram, is indicated by the brisk de
mand for petitions from all sections
of the county. A delegation from
Custer came to Lynden last week to
get one of the petitions, and is busy
circulating it, and several are row
going the rounds in Bellingham.
The excessive cost of the pave
ment at this period of high prices
is being used as the main argument
against construction at this time. al
though the present high taxes with
out the addition of any extras for
concrete roads. is moving many to
sign.
Al those having petitions have
been requested to get them complet-
ed and turned back to P. NJ. Serrur-
ier or W. H. NAPLES by April 25.

KILLS MANY WILDCATS IN
GLACIER DISTRICT THIS YEAR

Six of the biggest wild cat skins
ever seen in this locality were
brought to the courthouse last week
by C. H. Bourn of Glacier, all of
which have been secured by Mr.
Bourn within the last three or four
days, and which makes a total of Is
cats killed by him during the winter
and spring. One peculiar fact con-
nected with the killings is that there
were only 3 female cats among the 15
secured by Mr. Bourn. Only a small
amount is paid for the skins but
bounty of SIS is paid for each animal
killed. The bounty for cats killed
during the past two years would ag-
gregate s521. one hundred having
been killed during the past winter
alone.
