GOVERNMENT LIFTS MEASURES
OF RESTRICTION ON MEATS

Charles Hebberd, Federal Food
Administrator for Washington has
received the following statement
from the food administration at
Washington.
"A careful analysis of the beef sit
uation here and abroad shows the
desirability of lifting present con-
sumption restrictions Immediately ra-
ther than in September. as originally
contemplated. Therefore. the pres
ent restrictions of serving beef in
public eating houses only one meal
each day and the present voluntary
program for householders of pur-
chasing a pound and half of bone
beef and a pound and quarter OF
clear beef should be discontinued.
But it is highly desirable that the
American public consume medium
and lighter grades of cattle. thus con-
serving the heavier animals for our
own armed forces and those of our
allies.
lowing to the extreme drouth in
the southwest and other parts Of the
country endangering herds. produc-
ers are rushing lightweight beef to
market, thus creating an unexpected
surplus of light cuts. All heavy beef
is. for the present. needed for war ex-
port.
The food administration requests
retail meat markets to handle cattle
which dress not more than AIS
pounds, and it urges public eating
places and the public in general to
create a demand for light cuts. The
general policy of conservation for all
meat is still encouraged as q measure
to safeguard the future"

| A commission as an officer in the
U. S. Naval Reserves and a Bachelor
of Science degree in Naval Science
will be conferred upon all gradu-
ates of the new four-year Naval
course which opens at the University
of Washington on September 27th.
The navy department is co-operat-
ing with the unive. sity in this course
which will be given under the direc-
tion of Rear Admiral Chauncey Tho
mas. with several Naval Reserve Of
ficers as instructors.
Two Lynden young men, George
Frick and Lester landau, are in Sc
attic this week to investigate the
course and tc see if they will be per-
mitted to en-Cll in it.
High school graduates enrolling
in the university and selecting this
new course may enlist in the Naval
Reserves and will be given their uni
forms and approximately 800 sal
ary each year. For six weeks or two
months during the summer these stu
dents will go on cruises to Alaska or
Hawaii on battleships for practical
training in navigation, naval con-
struction, marine engineering and
seamanship.
If the war is not over when these
students reach the age of 21 years,

instructors. be sent to an intensive
Officers Material School of four
months duration before being sent
into service.
Rear Admiral Thomas and his staff
of instructors have already estab-
lished Offices at the University of
Washington and are ready to enroll
students for this course.
In view of the proposed change in
the draft laws students who wish to
enroll at the university for this naval
course are advised to enlist imme-
diately in the Naval Reserves with
the intention of going to school. This
is provided the men are certain that
they have the qualifications neces-
sary to meet the entrance require
ments of the university.
The naval science course will pre-
pare students for career in the ma
wy, merchant marine or construction
1t is an excellent engineering and sci.
ence course similar to the one offered
at Annapolis.

LYNDEN WOMAN GETS
REPORT ON KNITTING
Mrs. p. O. Berthuson Receives In.
formation As To Value OF Hand
knitted Socks

A statement published to the effect
that handwriting was wasteful. has
been stamped as untrue by Red Cross
officials, IN q letter sent this week
to Mrs. P. o. Berthuson OF Lynden.
Mrs. Berthuson had her attention
called to an article about knitting
in a Seattle farm paper, and referred
the matter to Governor Lister. Gov
ernor Lister took up the question to
Red Cross State Headquarters, and
c. d. Stimson, state manager. sent
the following report to Mrs. Berthus-
on:
\, Governor Lister has referred to
this office carbon copy OF his letter
to you acknowledging receipt OF CO.
py of the Farmers News, published
in Seattle. July 18th, 1918, concern
ing an editorial entitled Hand Knit
ting Wasteful.'
Permit me to quote from q let
te- Just received from Edward c.
Crossett, Director Of the Bureau Of
Chapter Production of the American
Red Cross, written from his Office at
Washington. D. C. Says Mr.. Crossett;
".All knowledge that we have OF
the situation both here and abroad.
leaves us firmly convinced that hand
knitting. properly regulated, is valu-
able and that the wool in our knit
ted garments is not wasted. but SO
used provides an effective means Of
relief. We expect In the near fu-
ture to present through the press q
review of the hand knitting situa-
tion with the reasons in general on
which our present policy is based
"The fact that the War Industries
Board, which is determining the prt-
ority of use of raw materials. IL cor
sidering the Red Cross and its hand
knitters as one of the government
departments in releasing wool and
is placing the needs OF the Red Cross
second only to the needs for actual
government use, proves ccnclusively
how valuable the hand knitting OF
the Red Cross appears to those who
+ are controlling the distribution OF
our limited supply Of wool"

Man, let me go!" cried
" Peggy. as the man seized
why should I let you go? Don't
you know its against the law to
peek in other folks windows?"
Peggy hung her head in humiliation.
You look like a nice little girl.
Why did you do such a sneaking
trick;' continued the Mystery Man,
and Peggy noticed a kindly tone in
his voice that Immediately ban
ished all her suspicious of him.
why, Blue Jay and | saw you
creeping along with your hat over
your eyes, and we thought maybe
you were burglar or German
spy" she blurted out frankly.
He isn't a burglar and he isn't
spy-he's policeman" cried
Helen Indignantly.
And he's a nice policeman, cause
he brings good eats to children who
are hungry" spoke up To-day.
Peggy had thought the man
looked familiar to her. Now she
recognized him.
oh, you're Officer Casey" she
exclaimed, much relieved. You go
by our house every day. But why
did you act SO mysterious when
you came here?'
Peggy now turned questioner and
Officer Casey appeared much en-
barrassed. He turned very red and
twisted his cap in his hands.
He did that because he doesn't
want folks to know how good he is,
said Helen, coming quickly to his
defense.
He's kind to folks instead of ar
resting EN-" added To-day.
oh" said Peggy, a light dawn
ing upon her. Here was a man who
hid his fine deeds like a criminal
hides his evil deeds. 1t had been an
awful mistake to think him a law
breaker Blue Jay, who had followed
her into the room, tried to hide in a
corner. you're a great detectiveW
she said to him.
I'm not detective, but I'd like
to be-" said Officer Casey, thinking
she was speaking to him.
Il was speaking to Blue Jay" ex
planned Peggy in confusion.
"Oh. it's a Bird" cried out Helen
and Teddy together.
Can you talk Bird TALK" asked
the astonished policeman.
Yes, I'm Princess of Birdland,'
answered Peggy.
MY gracious!" exclaimed Officer
Casey.
Goodness mel" echoed Helen and
Teddy.
But at that moment there came an
