OUESTIONAIRES SENT OUT
TO MANY BOYS OF LYNDEN

Tuesday the local draft board be-
gan to send out the new question
naires. The first 25 per cent of them
were sent TO the men who registered
on June s, according to their fegis-
tration numbers. One quarter of the
list will be sent out each day for four
days. The registrants are given sew
en- days from the date on which the
missionaries are mailed in which to
return them to the legal advisory
board and as the questionnaires are
complicated. the registrants are ask
ed to go to the Lynden advisors for
aid in filling them out. The first
registration proved that this method
saves a great many needless mistakes.
The service of the lawyers is free in
every case and they will be glad to
assist the registrants.

Fred Rockey, teacher in the Lyn-
with the naval aerograp aphical sect
ion. He is stationed at Eastbournc.
In the following letter received at
The Tribune office this week. he des-
cribes his experiences thee:
Il had nice trip over on the --
Sho was the German ship - before
our government took her over. She
is the biggest thing afloat and was
like a palace the whole way over.
The weather was fine and we didn't
have much excitement. Four of us
had a stateroom but l had to sleep
o. the floor as there We're only three
beds in the room and / was the last
ore in the room.
Il am here for a couple of weeks
tish fellows here are nice crowd and
we get along nicely with them. We
live in town and have all the liberty
that we want.
Everyone has meat and sugar cards
as we get fourteen ounces of sgar and
ten ounces of meat a week. The ci-
william population doesn't get quite
that much. There are lots of eggs,
Ca dollar a dozeI) fish, etc, so one
gets enough to cat.
This town is a summer resort.
Every evening the band plays and
there are several shows. The houses
are all of stone CT brick with slate
roofs. Nearly every house has flow
er garden and ivy running over the
house.
1.-The trains are very odd here. One
rides in an apartment which holds
from six to eight people. The cars
and engine are very light. The whole
train looks like it would make good
kindling wood. There are not many
gas cars running here as the govern
mcnt regulates the sale Of gasoline.
No one is supposed to uso pleasure
cars. A number of cars are running
on coal gas, and have large cloth
tanks on top of tn en-.
1.-The work we have been doing
here is ground work but l hope we
will get some upper air work. The
fellows can surely handla the planes
over here. They can fly along and
nearly pick flowers and do nearly
everything in the air. 1t is wonderful
the way the planes can be handled
and what they can do"

ASK LYNDEN TO MAKE
W.S.S. PLEDGES FRIDAY
All Citizens Urged BY Government
To Attend Meeting At Schools To-
morrow

On Friday, under orders of the
United States Treasurer, Whatcom
County will be called upon to pledge
its quota to the War Savings. On
that date every adult in the county
is expected to go to his sehoolhouse
and there pledge his limit of War
Savings Stamps for the remainder of
the year. The plan makes it possi-
bic to pledge certain amounts each
month for the rest of the year. The
County's quota is s1,360,930; rails
ing this amount is as imperative and
necessary as any previous Liberty
Loans.
War Savings Stamps this month
cost $4.17 and are redeemable Janu-
airy 21st, 1928 at a face value of
$500. Therefore it will be seen that
the War Savings Stamps are good in
vestments. the interest being com
pound at the rae of per cent.
Those who do not appear at the
meeting places will be addressed per-
sonally by a representative of the
Treasury Department, as every per-
son must be interviewed during this
drive. Slackers will promptly be re-
ported to the proper authorities.
The Lyndcn high school will be the
meeting place Of the city.
The meetings will be held at p
m. but the boards will be in session
from two o'clock on, and those who
can are asked to come early.

G. O. p. OF COUNTY HOLD SAFE
AND SANE MODERN CONVENTION
.E W. S. S. Day, June 2s-

That the old-time party county
convention with its exciting sessions
of wire-pulling and nominations, is
as defunct as dinosaurus or loaf
of white bread was painfully evident
Saturday afternoon at Bellingham,
when the Republicans of the county
gathered to elect forty-six delegates
to the state convention.
A. H. Frasier. George NAPLES, P.
M. Serrurier and George Abbott were
the Lynden representatives present.
and as nary one of them spoke up
in public, the meeting was largely
devoid of interest to the Lynden pub
lie. A. H. Frasier was elected deleg-
ate to the state meeting.
Walter B. Whitcomb CT Bcllingham
presided at the session, made an ell
oquent opening address in which he
suggested Roosevelt for the Repub-
lican presidential nominee, and dash
ed little liquid fire at the non-par-
tisan league. Whitcomb said that
any republican who accepted the en-
dorsement of the non-part.scn league
should be read out of the party. He
pledged the undivided support of the
Republicans of the county to the
government during the course of the
war.
Whitcomb presided neatly. He has
a fair-sized adams apple, which will
be worth seeing if it grows up.
F. F. Handschy, as chairman of
the committee on resolutions, pres
ented a stirring platform. patriotic
ally guaranteeing the solid support
of the Republicans to the President
and the Administration. The plat
form was adopted unanimously.
On the suggestion Of Ed Brown OF
Custer and N. p. Sorenson. the con-
vention sent kilograms to the Wash
ington delegation at Congress urg-
ing government action to fix the price
of milk to insure the dairymen fair
return. 1t was pointed out that the
cost of production of milk now is
.s3.2s, while the Whatcom County
farmers are receiving less than two
dollars.
Brown got up and spoke two or
three times on inconsequential mat
ters. There are dozens of men from
the farms of Whateom County who
can make a better showing in leg
iElative or public gathering han the
Custer senator.
And then the forty-four delegates
were elected without argument, and
the peaceful gathering tamely ad-
journed.
Yes sir, the Direct Primary certain
ly did suck all the steam out OF the
county convention; ii is as flat as
prohibition near-beer!

WILL HELP LYNDEN
GET HARVEST LABOR
Government To Come To Aid OF All
Local Farmers Short OF Help At
Important Season

Farmers who need help in haying
or picking berries, or any other pur-
pose, are urged to communicate at
once with William A. Bauman, who
is acting for the United States EN-
ployment Service in Lynde1.
The needs of the Lyldnn district
will then be reported to Northwest
headquarters, and an effort made by
the government agents to supply the
la Dor.
Many city people are planning to
spend their vacations in the country
during harvest time this year, and
plenty of this short-time labor will
be available.
If there is urgent need, a lot of
workers in the stores and offices Of
Lynden will be signed up to help out
on the farms of the district.

The price of butter jumped this
week four cents, and is now quoted
at 4Sc. The Lynden Creamery will
now be able to pay the farmers about
54 cents for their butterfat, which is
the equivalent of s2.16 for their milk
while they have the skim milk for
their own use. The condenseries are
now paying only s2.l5 for the whole
milk so that the creamery patrons
are now considerably in the lead.

UNITED EASTERN
 OPENS RICH VEIN ON 465 Fl. LEVEL

That the United Eastern is one of the greatest gold mines in the United States is amply evidenced by the open ing of the big ore body on the S65 lev el of that property. This ore body is said to exceed in magnitude any level in that property, although the other levels showed up wonderful ore. It is said that the new ore body is larger and richer than anything ever opened on the Pacific coast. The main ore body opened on the 465 was over 600 feet in length and had widths in places of better than 40 feet and it is ex- pected that the new level will equal these dimensions, while the ore is far and away richer. It is really unnec- essary to look for improvement in the ore bodies of the Eastern, as every level has had ore that brings the av- craze above $20 for it's milling stuff.
 Yesterday William Flannigan brought in another big shipment of bullion from the property, which was shipped to the mint, messenger ac- companying it. This was one of their ten day cleanups and probably amounted to about $70,000.

WAR INDUSTRIES BOARD
 SPEED UP BRASS MILLS

A conference of Bernard M. Bar uch, chairman of the War Industries Board and representatives of the brass manufacturers, held in New York a few days ago resulted n an agreement to speed up all plants to cure the shortage in that metal. Eacn mill will be given its full share of war essen- tials to it's capacity and each mill will be required to speed up it's manufac- lures as speedily as possible. The mills claim that they were short near ly 10000 men. It would appear that with the great demand for brass there would be constantly increasing de- mand for zinc and copper and that the mines now idle would be called upon to furnish a big tonnage of zinc dur ing the year. In this county there are mines capable of marketing mil lions of pounds of rich ore that are now idle. Governmental action will be required to put them on a produc' ing basis again.

HACKBERRY CUTTING
 VEIN AT 900 FIT. LEVEL

The crosscut from the 900 level of the Blackberry mine reached the vein last Thursday night and before ano- ther week passes by the whole vein will be cut. The vein point is very large and on the level above was ex- ceptionally good. The values run high in silver and also carry lead and zinc.
 The company is hard at work on the erection of mill buildings and install ation of machinery. Yesterday G. s. Holmes and William Neagle placed an order with the Tarr, McComb and Ware Commercial company for $10,- 900 worth of additional machinery for the mine. This machinery will be de- livered at once. The company has construction so far advanced that some estimate can now be made of the time when it will go into commission. The mine is in shape to begin the delivery of ore to the mill at any time, and day by day sees more and more ore re- serves being developed.

GETTING INTO GOOD
 ORE AT THE RICO MINE

The shaft on the Rico Exploration company property, sixteen miles north of Kingman, has reached a depth of about 190 feet and at the 200 cross cut will be driven across the vein. The stringers of ore now coming into the shaft would indicate that the vein is either strengthening up or widening out. If the crosscut passes through the same grade of ore as found in the 140 level the management will try to drive to the 500 level, but first will open the ground by drifts to ascertain the extent and quality of the ore bodies.
 w. w. Lewis, who has been manag- ing the financial end of the property, has gone to the mines and will remain until the crosscut has been driven through the vein and the drifts start ed. He believes that the company has one of the best properties in the range and is keeping things going with as big force as possible.

GREAT PERCENTAGE OF
 COPPER USED FOR WAR

The importance of Arizona as a war material producing state is signi- fled by recent statement by trade authorities that it is estimated that 97 1-2 per cent of the total American copper production is used for war purposes. The fact that Arizona pro duces over one-third of the copper of the United States, and about 25 per cent of the copper of the world, em- phasizes copper as an essential indus try.
 Recent reports of producers have in- dicated that the disposal of their pro- ducts for war purposes averages ap- proximately 95 per cent. The avec- age monthly output of refined cop per is about 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds; the 5 per cent remaining, therefore, would represent about 1O,000,000 pounds available for normal consumption.
 Whatever needs exist for normal domestic manufacturers, the actual de- mand for this purpose is practically nil, as the plants are otherwise occupi- ed. This alone is sufficient to ac- count for the small amount of metal left over. It is pointed out that while the United States, a producer of three -fourths of the worlds supply of copper, entered the war about year and half ago, and the exclusion of practically all domestic manufacturing has been affected by progressive steps, the internal industry of this country has not famished for copper for normal use to anything like the extent of European deprivation.
 The allies, almost wholly dependent on imports, began four years ago to use our metal in the manufacture of munitions, and it is believed that their stock for home consumption has long since been depleted.
 A prominent Arizonan, when asked what part Arizona was playing in the war, replied that she was doing more than her share in liberty bonds, enlist ments and subscriptions to the various semi-military activities, but more than that, she was furnishing the three C's, Copper, Cotton and Cattle.

IRON AND STEEL PRICES TO
 BE MAINTAINED 3 MONTHS

The price-fixing committee of the War Industries Board has agreed with the producers and manufacturers of iron and producers of iron ore to allow the price established some time ago to remain in force until the first of December. This agreement has been approved by President Wilson. The base price is greatly in excess of the old prices established last year, being $33 fob. furnace. No. 2 foundry iron is $34 at the furnace. ard standard Bessemer is fixed at $35.20.
 The price of ore has not been in- creased, with exception of small in- crease in cost of mining, the companies having contracts extendins over per- iod of many years al an established price. While this is true the man. ufacturers have increased the price of manufactures from 200 to 400 Ter cent.
