MYSTERIOUS BLAZE DESTROYS
FAMOUS FRONT ST. MANSION

A mysterious blaze utterly destroy
ed the famous Showers mansion at
Front street and Twelfth Thursday
evening in spite of the efforts OF the
neighbors and the Lynden Volunteer
Fire Department to save it.
The blaze was noticed about 10:45
D. m. Just how it started is mat
ter of considerable speculation. as
the house had not been occupied for
many years. From time to time in
recent years, neighbors, with an eye
to beautifying Front Street, have
declared in public that 1t ought to
be razed, and several of them are
under suspicion.
The adjoining building, owned by
Andrew Boslund, was not even
scorched. Boslund announced TINS
week that he intends to wreck them
at once, and help out in the good
work.

FERNDALE BOYS TRY TO START
BATTLK IN PEACEFUL LYNDEN

A group of Ferndale boys declar-
ed war on four Lynden representa-
ives at a dance in that city Friday
night. Like all warfare, an argument
over a lady was the cause.
An expeditionary force was hur-
ried to Lynden in a motor lorrie in
pursuit of the Lynden delegation.
The invaders reached the city at two
a. m, and prepared to attack i'm
mediately. John Bussard,. acting
marshal, called up the reserves by
awakening Jake LIE Compte, city mar
shall, and the invaders were sur
rounded and arrested.
Monday morning, Judge Arthur
M. Riddle pondered on the situation,
and levied an indemnity on each and
every member of the Ferndale army
of one dollar and costs.

INCREASED COSTS CAUSE THESE
TOWNSHIPS TO DIG FOR ROADS

Increased war costs are the cause
of elections this week in Acme and
Baker townships to raise $4,000 ad-
ditional to help pay for the concrete
roads now being built in that direct
ion by the county commissioners.
The Acme Prospector has the fol-
lowing to say on the situation:
''In order that our concrete road
be built early next season, We must
raise more money. The changed con-
ditions that have come about owing
to the war since our former bonds
were unanimously voted compel US to
raise this additional money If we
would have the road, and we must
have it if we keep abreast of the
times.

Bookkeeping for farm flock own
ers is growing in favor. The United
States Department of Agriculture is
sued the above chart this week to aid
Lynden poultrymen with their ac-
counts. Although quality eggs are
commanding excellent prices, the
costs of all poultry feeds are CORES
pondingly high, so that it is up to the
producer personally to keep accurate
accounts in order to know whether
his net return justifies the mainte-
nance and gradual expense Of his
business. In word, all branches of
farming are reaching a highly devel-
oped status which necessitates inten-
sive and accurate record-keeping.
Leaks and losses must be eliminated.
or at least limited, and this can best
be accomplished by the medium OF
the account book.
Systems of poultry accounting
must be extremely simple. while they
must not involve too much time. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture recommends to Lynden poul-
trymen some such form of convenient
record as is shown in the accompany
ing illustration. This simple ac-
count is confined to one page, so that
every item can be seen at glance
1t involves a systematic account OF
the stock, the eggs laid and sold
amount received, fowls added to the
flock, quantity and cost of feed, eggs
used for Matching and other purposes
as we'll as the cost of hired labor and
materials. The columns and spaces
for expenses and receipts are clearly
indicated by type faces.
The arrangement at the top pro
yides an inventory for all stock. the
number of fowls on hand at a giver
time, their cost and the cost OF ad
ditional stock. Assuming that the

The egg record is self-explanatory
100 dozen eggs are sold in Janu
ary, that number is placed in the
lightly printed box underneath the
heading Number of Eggs Sold and
Amount received" and the price in
the box to the right that is, the
one containing the dollar mark. The
procedure should be the same with
reference to the other columns and
boxes, great care being exercised,
however. to record all receipts in the
lightly printed spaces and all expens-
es in those in heavy print.
All chickens and eggs which are
used on the family table should be
accounted as sold, and should be re-
corded as an expense at the regular
market price. just as if they were
purchased from outside sources. The
same applies to feed and home labor
All too frequently the proper record
ing of these items is not understood
and consequently they are omitted
from the account book.
Accounting-keep of this charac.
ter not only stabilizes the individual
business, but it also operates to put
the entire poultry industry on bet
ter basis. Records are efficient detec
tives in seeking out the shirker and
/ loafer hens, who merit immediate
obsequies at the family table rather
than places of importance in the egg

LYNDEN PIONEERS TO
MEET THANKSGIVING
Will Hold Annual Celebration In
Honor OF Birthday OF State OF
Washington

When Washington celebrated its
birthday as a state on November IL
the Clam Diggers of the Lynden Dis
trict were so busy lodging the flu
and rejoicing over the news of the
armissice with Germany that they
forgot all about their annual official
clambake. True, Hans Berthuson ap-
peared in the Lynden parade wearing
the regulation green badge. but most
folks thought the emerald ribbon was
merely the banner of his native land.
But the Pioneers haven't forgot
ten the annual happy event. but have
merely transferred it to Thanksgiv-
ing Day. when they will gather at
the l. o. o. F. hall and give thanks
in unison, eat three or four nom
Hoover meals together. and recall
the good old Thanksgiving days
of Lynden, when turkeys never were
more than four celts a pound.
All pioneers and their families are
invited to attend. All those who were
in the State when it emerged from
the infancy period of being a ter
ritory, together with their families,
are eligible to membership in the
Clam Diggers' Club, and are urged to
attend the gathering Thanksgiving
Day. The ladies are asked to bring
roast turkey, chicken, ducks, beef.
cranberry sauce. mince pie. pumpkin
pie, and anything else that will help
to make the big pioneers and little
pioneers specially thankful that they
are alive.
