George A. McLane presented
The Herald family, Saturday
with superb 8-pound cabbage,
several pounds of the finest white
onions you ever saw and "mess'
of green string beans big enough
to furnish a dinner for a dozen
persons. All these were samples
of the crops being grown by our
friend on his place just south of
town; and to say that we appre-
ciated the donation but feebly ex-
presses our gratitude. AS long as
we have such generous land COM
petent) friends as George McLane,
we can survive the high cost of
living. He is one of our most sue
cessful truckers; and, as a result
of his skill and consequent success,
he owes no man anything and he
and his family now ride in their
own automobile. May his tribe
increase!

HISTORIC SEA IS
 TO BE PUMPED DRY
CWide World Magazinel


 Some few months prior to the war the Dutch government put in hand their long projected scheme for drain ing and retaining the historic Zuider Zee. In a few words. it is virtually a bold and daring attempt to pump a great sea dry. It will result in turning over half million acres of this great arm of the North sea into dry land. Where of old the great Dutch war fleets gathered, where now 4,000 fish ermen sink their nets, there will rise happy villages, great pastures, poplar bordered roads, and sleepy canals. new farms, and homes for thousands of people.
 The task is a tremendous one. but Holland has always been at war with the sea, and her engineers. with their varied experience in battling against this pitiless foe. will no doubt prove equal to the feat No less than 3S per cent of the total area of this little king dom lies below a-level, and would be flooded were it not for it's dikes and dunes. The latter, despised in most parts of the world. may be said to con . stitute Hollands first line of defense.

ing letter from Vancouver Barracks,
Vancouver, Wash:
Dear Friends:
1t is now IA days since / left my
home town but l did not get around to
write any sooner as / have been sick
most of the time.
We sure did have a good time on
our way here with the other boys of
the county and when we came to the
camp the guard stopped US and asked
us, Where to-? We told him and
when we got there the soldier boys
were waiting for us and started guy
ing us about our ears and feet. Its
the same old thing every time new
bunch OF draft men come to camp.
I am sure getting along fine now.
Harry Dunn is still with US and he is
good pal.
/ am sending the best of wishes for
the w. c. T. u and the commercial
club and thank them many times for
what they gave me when l left.
would like TO hear from the Boomers
Ferry people" at
