THE AMERICAN SPIRIT

Overwhelming all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership Of Food Administration
Is the history Of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was In this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength Of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight Of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
IL eased by the stopping Of large move
ments Of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C.
cumulated surplus In Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We In America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table Of the peo-
pies Of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
q wheat supply which gave us only
2O0O0.OOO bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent 141, 900, 900 bushels Of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
121, 0OO.O 900 bushels.
A survey Of export figures shows
that the conservation of -four brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution In our kitchens
and bakeries. enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 80, 900, 900
barrels Of white four-wheat figured
as -four. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than $500, 600 barrels.
Before the LIST Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional $4,000 900 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1OO,OO0.OOO
bushels by July I. But In January the
late Lord RhOndda. then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 75,OOO.OOO
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 85,OOO,OOO BUSH
els Of wheat, saved from their home
consumption. between the first Of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
By October 10, 1915 we had already
shipped 65,96O.8O5 bushels since July
/. Absolutely the only Limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity Of ocean
tonnage. II exports continue at the
present rate, by July l Of next year
we will have sent more than 237 $780,
600 bushels to Europe. < ~
Thus are we making good Americas
pledge that the bread ratiOns Of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

LINDEN LEADS

Lynden butter has been pronounc-
ed the best in the wide state of Wash
ington by experts following tests COW
ering a full year. The superior fla
vor of the Lynden product, coupled
with skill in manufacture, won
this honor for the district.
The distinction is one OF which
all LINDEN may we'll feel proud. Ev-
erything is just little bit better in
LINDEN, and it is pleasant to note
that the rest of the state is beginning
to find this out!

ANOTHER CHANCE

The first six hundred cows in the
ISOLATION were signed up quicker than
you could say william HOhenzoll-
ern." And now a second group to
work with it's own tester is in the
process of formation, with more than
third of the total enlisted. This
gives the Lynden farmer another OPP
portunity to become a part of this
modern dairy organization.
No better way of starting the new
year right, as far as prosperity is
concerned, could be found than by
giving your support to the new as
ISOLATION!

SCOUTS AIDING THE NAVY.

Immediately following the declara-
tion Of war steps we're taken to effec-
lively organize, along lines similar to
h coast guard work Of the Boy
Scouts OF England, older boys special
ly selected In order that there might
be available a esourc for use by the
navy department, should the occasion
warrant.
Special organizations were perfect
ed covering a large part OF the ATTAIN
tic coast line, and In each case the boy
enrolling secured special permission OF
his parents. All OF their work was
done privately.
The boys agreed to hold themselves
In readiness for any call.
They also undertook to make a careful
survey of the actual conditions in a
definitely prescribed territory so that
there might be available information
as to the full OF the COM
munity In case OF disaster, including a
list OF all houses suitable for hospital
purposes, names Of all doctors, infor-
nation about all automobiles. motor
boats. etc, which might be OF service.
In addition to this, In some OF he
naval districts, boy scouts co-operated
In the early dhys OF the war In locating
unlawful wireless stations.

The army council order about the
tightness and fitting OF soldiers uni
forms led to expert discussion as to
which force has the best. says the
London Chronicle. Wounded officers
with experience ranging from Bagdad
20 Npres voted for the Australian.
Its shlrtlike tuuic with buttoned
sleeves Is ideally workmanlike. The
Norfolk Jacket-like walstband gives
trlmness without necessitating the
wearing OF a belt.
And just as unanimously expert
opinion declared the u. S. A. uniform
the worst.
ITS o. tlght-it's skin tight. Bless
you, the pockets won't hold anything
they're for appearance. You couldn't
cram a handkerchief In one. And I
used 20 carry quite comfortably a pair
Of socks, a couple OF Mills grenades. a
tin OF bully, chocolate. cigarettes, and
my revolver In one side OF my jacket.

stone IN your ha~versack."

BRAVE SONS OF FAR WEST
Boys Sole object In Going to War,
Like That Of Others. lie 70
-Can the Kaiser"

MAI. E. Alexander Powell, in Scrib-
ner's Magazine. says ut has been my
good fortune TO have marched with
many armies, but none OF them has
given me the thrill Of pride which runs
up my spine when I see these loose
limbed. brown-faced. clear-eyed sons
OF the far West 40 swinging by under
the siantlng lines OF steel.
They are for the most part serious
looking. with a curious set expression
about them which makes you feel that,
though they realize the Immense difi-
Guilty OF the task for which they are
preparing, they intend TO see 1t fin
ished. no matter how long II may
take. Just as their fathers carried the
frontier OF civilization westward from
the Mississippi. SO these. their sons.
are going to push that same frontier
from the Rhine.
"But hat isn't the way that they
would put Il. Should you ask them
what they are fighting for. they will
say nothing about the liberty of small
peoples or about making the world
safe for democracy. They will assure
you that their sole object In going to
war Is TO can the kaiser And, upon
thinking II over, II seems TO me that
their answer. though somewhat lnele-
gantly phrased. perhaps. expresses the
sentiments of all OF u.s."

BRITISH SCOUTS WAR WORK

Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch
comedian, on his recent appearance in
Omaha, Neb., said of the work Of the
scouts In England:
There are at present 100000 boy
scouts engaged In work In England
that hitherto had been performed by
men. Their work is such that a we'll
trained boy can accomplish as well as
a well-trained man. Carrying mes
sages across the country, helping
wounded soldiers after their return
from the battle front and a thousand
other things keep the lads busy all the
time. They are an important factor In
England's destiny. The British boy
scout Is doing a great work today in
the service OF his country.
THE man. the soldier. is the bull
dog as II were. and the boy scout is
the ferret There are 10000 OF these
boys actively guarding Britain. With
their keen little eyes and their quest
for romance and excitement they are
playing a great part In guarding our
sea-girt shore.
ITO be a boy scout is to be a discip-
lined good boy. Good boys make good
men. good men make good citizens,
and n good citizen is always respected.
Every boy as well as every man must
do his best today for his country"

GEN. STRONG LIKES SCOUTS.

In a letter written by Mai. Gen. #. s.
Strong. commander OF the Sunshine. "
or Fortieth division. at Camp Kearnv
Cal. to President Frank Won Tesmar
or the Coronado boy scouts. he saws:
"A previous engagement makes II
impossible for me TO be with you. This
IS regretted particularly. because l
have always had a great interest in the
boy cot movement. l have had occa.
sion to observe them In many parts OF
the country, and have noted their eff.
cheney wherever they were called ON
Tor service. .s.,-A ~
I'm Honolulu they were invaluable
In handling many details OF the carnl.
val and were highly praised by the gov
and officers OF the association.
The boy scouts as an association
stand for everything that is honorable
and patriotic, and they deserve COM
mendation OF all for the work they
are doing"

WHAT FOREIGN SCOUTS 90.

We must produce food as never be.
fore to keep America for Americans
Secretary Houston urges the boy
scouts to double their production of
food In 1918. 1t can be done. The
scouts OF every country in the world
have made good.
Belgian boys carried dispatches
through the very enemy's lines when
the most s%klllfully trained soldier cou.
riers fniled. Belgian scouts gave uu
their lives rather than betray the Sc.
crets of their country.
French and English scouts have
many times secured Information abso-
lutely necessary for the safety OF their
countries armies.
Certain II Is that American bows
would live up to the records made nv
these European scouts. even To the Civ
ing up OF their lives II their COUNTRY
needed these supreme sacrifices.
American scouts. scoutmasters and
scout commissioners already are in the
trenches OF Liberty's front lines de-
Tending civilizations freedom from
barbarian onslaught.
