H. .ooo-

Last week, we referred to LINDEN
as the jam City of the Nooksack. :"
Whereupon Clyde Reed, editor of the
Everson paper, and a relative of Bill
and Tillie Meurer, rushed to the de-
tense of Everson, as follows:
And now Lewis of the Lynden Tri-
bune also claims for that town the
fruit center of the Nooksack Valley.
They also claim to be the center of
the dairy business. footing your own
horn is an old adage and Lynden can
do it to fragile but the rest of the
county knows where the centers of
these industries are.

We apologize. We are willing to
call Everson the Holstein and Cuth-
bert center of the Pacific Northwest,
if Mister Reed will promise to refrain
from calling us down so harshly in
the future.

APPOINTED TO TRAINING
CAMP FOR OFFICERS
(Plant City Courierl

: Sergeant Vernon w. Gallagher
came in Sunday from Camp Wheeler
Macon, on furlough which would have
permitted him to remain a week with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Gala
CHER, at Dover, and his friends IN
Plant City. had he not received a mes
sage Monday to the effect that he had
been appointed to the Third Officers
Training Camp, necessitating him cut
ting short his visit. He left Monday
afternoon, but did not know whether
he would be assigned to the camp at
Leon Springs, Tex, or Petersburg,
Va. It is regretted that he could not
remain longer, but all are glad that
he has been appointed to the training
camp for officers.
Sergeant Gallagher is the first Plant
City man who was ordered direct to
France, and had his furlough not been
cut short friends here could have
learled much from him concerning ae-
tual conditions on the western front.
He was detailed from Company 2 to
accompany party of officers TO
France, deaving Camp Wheeler on the
perilous voyage of September 18th.
He returned December 3rd. Al month
was spent in Paris, and he had oppor-
tunity also TO visit the front, where,
as he says, Atthere is something going
on all the time" The Sergeant says
1t is a bigger war than one here would
imagine, and looks like it was laid out
to last some time. He did not have
time to 90 into details, or relate such
things as are permitted under our vol
untary form of war censorship, but
brought a number of interesting relics
heretofore mentioned IN The Courier
They include pieces of genuine Ger
nan fighting equipment. There is q
German helmet which fits well over
the head, protecting everything except
the lower part of the neck, and
shield that is worn by the sniper or
German soldier on outpost duty. This
plate is made Of heavy steel and be-
ing In four sections, is flexible. 1t flts
well over the shoulders and covers the
breast and stomach completely. 1t IS
so made that bullets glance one direc-
tion or other, and while rather heavy,
serves as pretty safe protection from
the enemy directly IN front. This
plate was picked up by Sergeant Cal
Iagher on the battlefront in October
after the offensive conducted by the
French along the A:sne front October
23rd TO 25th, during which approx
matelv IL 900 Germans were eaptur-
ed. The trophies include also hell
met of the type worn by the French
soldiers and cap such as the private

takes his place in the fghting
trenches. The shields and helmets are
on exhibition at the Bank Of Plant

The president, therefore, deemed it
"imperatively necessary" that the
government should take over and ex-
ervice control over all the railroads
and organize them under "a single
authority and simplified method of
coordination which have not proved
possible under private management
and control"
William G. McAdoo, the secretary
of the treasury, was named by the
president as director general Of rail-
roads, and there is granted to him ali

THE LIBERTY MOTOR
A COMPLETE SUCCESS

That the Liberty Motor is an entire
success and the airplane program is
proceeding without hitch, are the
recent assertions of Howard E. Cof-
fin, chairman of the Aircraft Produc-
ton I2oard, following trip that sur
veyed the training fields and aircraft
factories Of the country.
THE whole program is progressing
.favorably,1 said Mr.. Coffin, sand,
while cannot disclose all of the de-
tails, can say that if the people of
the country knew exactly what has
been accomplished they would be
highly satisfied"
The Liberty Motor, the creation of
the brains of the best experts of the
United States, has met every test,
both as to speed and altitude, and it
is reported on authority that Italy,
France and England have offered to
buy..a large number for use in their
airplanes of all types. Efforts which
have been made to discredit the mo-
| tor were put aside as not worthy of
consideration.
The immediate construction Of
100, 900 airpIanes was put aside by
members Of the board as impractical
bic. The men necessary to man such
"a great fleet, it was asserted, could
not be accommodated on the western
front. At present, it was said, the

More because Of the failure of the
railroads to speed the movement of
coal than for any other reason, the
President, by proclamation, took over,
on Thursday, their operation aDd con-
troll. It has been time and again shown
from all authorative sources that the
shortage of coal in the various mark
cts was due almost entirely to inabili-
ty of the railroads to move the prod
uct. Time and opportunity was given
the railroad authorities to improve q
condition from which the country has
suffered.
In the preface of his proclamation
the President gives credit to the rail-
way executives for having done their
in patriotic fashion, to inn
prove transportation conditions. But

mands of the crisis by superior or
ganization.
Initiative must be stimulated.
The times demand the man who
thinks.
His powers of analysis. his faculty
for directing, his imagination, his ca
pacity for commanding. his alertness,
are too valuable and the necessities
of the hour too urgent to permit of
them being buried, wasted
Be he laborer, artist or the man at
the throttle, he must be placed in the
ranks according to his worth.
Where shall these men be found
Everywhere-in the workship, at
the forge. in the yard, at the office
desk
The world must saek him out.
All men are not born to their prop
er place in life; all men do not know
their sphere.
Some there have been who, gifted
with tremendous powers of aggres-
sion, have plunged forward from no
where; others well qualified to rise,
tho lacking the stimulus of ambition,
have been content to pass unnoticed
and unknown.
And the world has fostered most
those who courted its rewards.
Now necessity summons all; calls
upon men and women to prove their
mettle: commands them to come
forth.
The world must take an inventory
of its resources. 1t needs man-think-
ing, planning, constructive men.
Every worker must fill the place
ability assigns to him.
These recluse masters, these buried
treasures, the geniuses of obscurity,
must be dragged from their cells.
The work they are doing is value
less compared with that of which they
may be capable.
The powers of the thinking man, the
builder, the planner, the director, are
too essential to the requirements of
industry to allow him to rot and waste
away.
The functions of the directors of
industry impose a constant combing of
their mills, their mines, their factor
les. They must know their men!
These extra links are there! The
reward Of finding them will justify
their search!

GRAMMAR IN RHYME.

Three little words you often see:
The Article, a, an, and the.
A Nouns the name of anything,
As school, or garden, hoop, or swing.
An adjective describes the Noun,
As great, small, pretty, white or
brown.
In place of Nouns the Pronouns stand.
As he or she, your arm, my hand.
Verbs tell something to be dome
To read, count, laugh, sing, jump, or
run.
How things are done the Adverbs tell
As slowly, quickly, all, or we'll
Conjunctions join the words together,
As men and women, wind or weather.
The Proposition stands before
A Noun, as in or thru the door.
The Interjection shows surprise,
AS "Oh! how pretty"-"Ahl how
wise"
The whole are called Nine Parts of
Speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking
teach.
