SCHOOL PUPILS TO ENGAGE
IN BIRD HOUSE CONTEST

Pupils in Whatcom County schools
are going to compete this spring to
make the bird visitors to the county
happy. A contest among the schools
has been arranged and prizes will be
offered for the largest number of oc-
cupied bird houses at the end of May.
As Lynden's boys and girls have
been busy this winter building bird
houses under the direction of G. w.
Boggan, the local school will take
great interest in the event.
"The pupil who has the largest
number of occupied bird houses,
say the rules of the contest, will be
given a pair of field glasses, while
the school having the largest number
of occupied houses under its super
vision, in ratio to daily attendance,
will be given book on birds. The
pupil in each supervising district with
the largest number of occupied hous-
es will be awarded an Audubon but
ton and card of membership as a
junior member of the Whatcom
County Humane Society.
Only county pupils may compete.
The English sparrow shall not count.
Each pupil must furnish a written ac-
count of the construction and locat-
ion of the bird houses and the spec
les of bird inhabiting them. The prin-
cipal will forward these reports to
the secretary of the society before
May 81. The name of each contest
ing pupil and the number of his oc-
copied houses, the descriptive state
ment and the average daily attend
the principals report.

EASTERN MAN BUYS
LYNDEN'S CANNERY
II. A. Baker of Chicago Purchases
Property And Offers To Contract
For Berries For Six Years At Cts.

Heralding an era of prosperity for
Lynden berry interests that they have
not yet known, the sale was announc-
ed today of the Lynden Cannery plant
TO II. A. Baker, one of the largest
operators in this field in the United
States. Coineident with the transfer.
Mr.. Baker announced that he was
ready at once to sign contracts at
four cents pound, field run, for a
period of from four to six years, as
they prefer.
The sale assures the running of the
cannery steadily for an indefinite
period, with an accompanying pro-
vision of good prices for the farmers.
A minimum price of four cents a
pound for raspberries means a fine
profit for the grower who gets a fair
crop, and enables him TO pay decent
wages to pickers.
Nor is the move of importance
to the berry growers alone. Farm
ers who raise other fruits and veget-
ables will undoubtedly benefit with
the continued operation of the can
merry. Mr.. Baker has already an
nounced that he wants all the cher
ries he can get this year, and he will
probably contract for a large acreage
in beans. Pears, plums, and other
fruits may be handled.
The reopening of the cannery by
Mr.. Baker as a permanent running
institution closes a checkered first
chapter in the history of the project.
Originally built by an association
of growers, it was moderately success
full until a price slump caused its
closing two years ago. when it was
by Robert Heaton, who
purchased it from the Association.
Last year, it was used as a receiving
station by Mr.. Baker whose treat
ment of the growers at that time was
entirely satisfactory.
Any information desired by grow
ers about the deal can be obtained
at the Lynden State Bank, where con-
tracts are ready for prospective sign
ers. Mr.. Baker will have a represent
ative in Lynden next week to confer
with the growers about the handling
of crops.

CLOSES AFTER
SESSION OF LAW-MAKING

Olympia. = The 18th Washington
legislature has passed into history
with a record of achievement which
will compare favorably with prior leg
islatures. On the whole it was just
an average session. Some good laws
of real interest to the state at large
were passed and it is probably true
that some measures of real merit
failed.
The closing hours of the session
witnessed a spirited fight over the
question of granting a relief appropri-
alton of $4,000 to Mrs. Julia Olsen,
widow of the murdered chairman OF
the industrial accident commission.
The first actual bitterness of the
session developed on consideration OF
the Olsen appropriation, when the
house flatly refused to agree to its
elimination. A series Of conferences
followed and the senate finally yield
ed on agreement by Morthland that
the state had a responsibility in the
case for allowing unquestioned pur'
chase of firearms.
Presents Are Given Officers.
AS the end of the session drew neal
the usual closing program of music
and speeches was rendered. From the
senate Lieutenant-Governor Hart re
ceived q China set and Speaker Kelly
got a chest of silver. Employees OF
both houses made presents TO Franz
Dallam, secretary of the senate, anc
Charles Maybury, chief clerk OF the
house. Two telephone exchange girls
stationed in the capitol received sl2'
each extra pay from the Legislature

GRADE COWS SELL AT HIGH
PRICE AT WOLF AUCTION

Indicating brisk demand for good
milch cows in the Lynden distict, the
sale of E. E. Wolf last week attracted
buyers from all over the Nooksack
Valley who bid up the stock to an
average of $105 per COW. A fifteen
year-old thoroughbred Holstein was
sold for Sis, and a two-year old
grade heifer brought S67.
The prices are considerably above
the average paid for stock during
the last two years, and the sale was
noteworthy for that reason. NJ. Van
der Griend was the auctioneer.

A Vicious Rvmor.

Among the many absurd and

United States proposes to contiscate
money on deposit in banks. The
absurdity of the statements obvious

We also believe that ma

of nations. We also believe that ma
tions, like individuals, must be chas-
tized, if they are to be kept in the
straight and narrow path, and we
further believe that the oft-quoted
statement "the way of the transgres-
sor is hard," applies to nations as well
as individuals. Believing these things,
we are constrained to believe that there
is great unseen purpose back of this
war. Countless men, posing as seers,
endeavor in their small way to discern
or divine the why and wherefore of
this worldwide war, and some go so
so far as to try to stop it. One might
as well attempt to dam Niagara with
stick of chewing gum as to try to
bring about censsation of hostilJtles
before the end for whichit was ordered
is accomplished. Therefore, abortlve
efforts along the line of premature
peace proposals should cease. : The fol-
lowing from the Spartanburg Journal
is apropos in this connection:
"Some time ago the statement was
made that Pope Benedict is considering
leaving Rome and Italy on a peace
mission and that he is confident he can
bring about some results. This report
has been generally credited in some
quarters and many think that the at
tempt will be made but most of these
are convinced that any second peace
offer the Pope might make would be
favorable to the central powers.
SIN view of the fact that the Pope S first
peace offer was such fiasco, we think
that he might do we'll to devote his ef-
forts to some other work. The Pope
will never be able to bring aboutpeace
and no other one living man will ever
be able to do it. A world war can
hardly be ended by one mans words,
no matter what those words may be.
Although this war is unspeakably
horrible in its every phase, yet who
would have it close with the Belgians
and Serbians enslaved? Although the
destruction of life and property is i'm
measurable, yet who would have the
dove of peace again hover over Europe
before the Prussian tyrant is brought
to his knees? No-a thousand times,
no. There can be no peace until the
great purpose of the God of Battle IS
accomplished, and individuals here and
there over the world had might as well
be hands off. Peace will come in its
