L. $. REQUIRES LICENSE TO
BUY FIREWORKS OVER 10 CTS.

That the United States government
will this year require a license to
purchase firecrackers costing more
than ten cents a package, is the an
nouncement made today to the Lyn-
den district by Walter G. Ronald, Ex-
plosives Inspector for the State of
Washington.
Not only does the act of Congress
require that license be procured by
manufacturers, exporters, importers,
and all parties selling explosives or
their ingredients, but it also provides
that a license shall be procured by
the purchaser as well. And by the
purchaser it means the farmer who
may need explosives for blasting out
stumps, or other purposes, the quar-
ryman, or the miner. and means also
the person who desires to purchase
fireworks, the only exception being
as follows:
mo license will be required for
the purchase at retail of Chinese fire
crackers, American firecrackers, toy
torpedoes, serpents, sparklers, or toy
paper caps, when costing not more
than ten cents a package"
II desire at this time" says Mr.
Ronald, to urge upon all residents
of the Lyndon district the advisable
ity of entirely emitting the use of
fireworks from the celebration of
the coming Fourth of July, and to de-
vote the money which might thus be
wasted in the purchase of fireworks
to the purchase of thrift stamps, that
will be an aid to the government and
the best possible investment to the
purchaser, and which will inculcate
a spirit of both patriotism and econ
omy in the children of our State"

RAISES ITS
BIG WAR CHEST FUND
Total OF Six Thousand Dollars For
War Charities VIII BE Pledged BY
Saturday, Is Estimate

While other communities this week
were contented to strive merely to
raise their quotas for the National
Red Cross, Lynden labored nightly
to amass fund large enough to take
care of not only the Red Cross quota.
but also to provide for the Y. NJ. c.
A, the local Red Cross, and other
War Charities
And the big War Chest Drive in
the Lynden district to take care of
at one stroke all war charities for
the year 1918 is proving a splendid
success. Hardly without an except
ion, the people of tfe district are ap-
proving the plan OF putting Lynden's
contributions on businesslike basis.
The plan makes unnecessary three
or four drives during the year. and
the need of countless small
socials to raise funds
Into the War Chest Fund. the dist
rict is being asked this week to toss
$4,000, Lynden's National Red Cross
quota, s. 600 for the local Red Cross
chapters expenses, S1,5O0 for the Y.
NJ. c. A, which plans a drive short
ly, and $1,000 for other war charity
or a total of $4,000 A
big share of this sum has already
been collected, and by Saturday night
it is confidently expected that the
total will be reached.
AS each contributor to the fund
receives his receipt, he is asked to
vote for a director of the fund, and
the five who receive the most ballots
will act as administrators. Each bal
lot is placed in a sealed envelope. to
be counted at the close of the week.
Subscriptions for the Red Cross or
War Chest Fund may be left at the
Lynden State Bank, and any who
have been overlooked by the solicit
ors are asked to leave their subscript-
ions at the bank.

FIND THAT 1T COSTS $500 TO
PRODUCE MILK IN LYNDEN

That milk cannot be produced at
a profit in the Lyndon district for
less than 1929 a hundred pounds, is
the substance of a report made this
month by a committee of county ag-
ricultural agents. H. B. Carroll, jr.
of Whateom County supplied figures
to aid in making up the report.
The committee which made the in
vestigation for the dairymcn took the
reports of seventy-nine herds, which
produced more than 100000 lbs.
of milk within the period covered by
the investigation. One herd report,
considered fair sample of all, show
ed that a dairyman who handled a
quarter of a million pounds of milk
within one year, received only five
cents per hundred pounds, after de-
ducting his cost of production, and
this did not allow him any return on
his investment, which is close to
$4,000.
A big meeting of dairymen will be
held in Seattle June /, for the pur-
pose of forming a state association
with the object of bringing relief to
the dairy interests.

Lave you ever lain in No Mans Land with
l l shattered thigh and throat that burned with
thirst?
Has your wife ever begged food for her children
and herself at the mess kitchen of a soldiers camp?
Has your little son ever torn his mothers heart
with plaintive cry, day after day, for food she
couldn't give him?
Has your little daughter clad in a ragged dress,
her only dress, ever shivered night after night in
the ruined cellar of what was once her home?
Has your city ever been destroyed-nay, pow
dered bricks stone. tinbers and all so ground into
the dust that one scarce knew where street ended
and building began?
1t is exactly such suffering that the Red Cross is
organized, here and in Europe to relieve.
The Red Cross asks for One Hundred Million
Dollars as the least it needs to carry this work.
Can you---dare you---refuse to give to this
work---and give till the heart says stop?
