Cleveland and Detroit met in the
opening game of the 1918 American
League baseball season here to-day

star players. Detroit had substi-
tutes in the lineup for Ty Cobb and
Eeilman, while Cleveland was with

whether he will be able to partici-
pate in the present series.

nicipal officials were here with
large band of rooters. Mayor Davis.

New York Americans Win
Opener From Washington
IN 1ssociated Ptcss

Washington, April 16.-The Amer
lean League baseball season was
opened here yesterday with 6 to 3
victory for the New York Americans
over Washington, due largely to the
ineffectiveness of Walter Johnson,
particularly against Frank Baker,
who drove in three runs for the visi-
tors. President Wilson, who usually
throws out the first ball, was not able
to be present and District Commits
sioner Louis Brownlow acted in els
place. The only ceremony was the
raising of the American flag while a
band played The Star Spangled
Banner" and the players stood with
heads barred. The 5000 spectators
listened attentively to a Liberty Loan
orator and later cheered Justify when
a huge Caproni biplane flew over the
field dropping miniature Liberty
bells. The score by innings:

There may be. better butter than

$4,000 WORTH OF 4TH
LOAN LYNDEN'S SHARE
Local Quota Nearly Double That or
Last Loan; Bonds Should BE Re.
garded As Necessity

The United States Treasury De-
partment has asked Lynden to pur-
chase $4,000 worth of bonds of the
Fourth Liberty Loan, according to a
final announcement made today. That
Lynden will respond to the assign
ment of the government as briskly
and heartily as the American boys
are doing their bit in the trenches
before Metz is the confident opin-
ion Of E. Edison, chairman of the
local campaign committee.
Lynden's quota is just double that
of the Third Liberty Loan, which was
but $37,700. However it is only a
scant twenty-five per cent more than
the total subscribed in Lynden at the
last drive, as the district bought and
paid for a total of $4,000 in bonds.
The basis on which committees will
work over the state is a months
wages in bonds from every wage
Garner, and this estimate will be ap-
piled to other lines. So important
is the need of backing up the soldiers
that the committees are authorized
to recognize but two things that are
more important than the purchase
of bonds-food and clothing. Food.
clothing. and Liberty bonds next. is
the order in which the needs should
be met.
Tn, xvv,Ao hn \ hos Nd
has decided to make use of the plan
of campaign adopted for the Third
Loan, and which has been recon-
mended by the Treasury Department
as one Of the fairest methods pur-
sued. The plan was used at hundreds
of points throughout the country, and
will be generally adopted in all of
the States for this loan. Each in
dividual will be requested to appear
before the board, and consult with it
as to the amount of his subscription.
In order to distribute the total of
the quota as equitably as possible
Throughout the district, an effort will
be made to allot each Individual with
a fair portion Of the total bonds. In

estimate Will be altered by the Board.
The Lynden Board will be in ses-
sion from 3 .. n. until p. m. for

ing, September %, ana ending on

not answer the summons OF the Lyn-
den Board for any reason, will be

PUT mo HUNTING" SIGNS ON
YOUR LAND, is WARNING TO ALI

Word was received this week from
Seattle that hundreds of sportsmen
from that city were planning on do
ing their bird bunting in Whatcom
county this year. This, coupled with
the fact that this weeks mail
brought a deluge of letters containing
applications for Whatcom County
hunting licenses spells doom for To-
cal upland birds unless drastic meas
ures are adopted. King, Snohomish,
Skagit and other counties of the
Northwest are closed tight so far as
upland bird shooting is concerned
this season, which accounts in part
for the large numbers of southern
sportsmen who plan coming here Oc-
tober first.
While the outlook for pheasant
shooting this season is fairly good,
still there is nothing like the number
of birds of former years. Last years
short open season has made the birds
somewhat more plentiful this year,
but as yet they have not recovered
from the effects of a hard winter of
few years ago. and if an open sea-
son of even for a week were allowed
in this county, the stock of birds will
be practically wiped out.
Owing to lack of time, it will be
impossible to close the county this
year as a two weeks published notice
is demanded by law, but local sports
men and the game commission urge
all ranchers to post their land. No
thing can prevent a sportsmen from
hunting on unposted land, but even
at this late date, if the land is thor
oughly posted. part of our birds
may be saved
County Game Warden John M. Ait
ken plans to have big force of dep
uties in the field during the opening
wek, to watch out for violations of
the game code, but posting of all
ranches will greatly aid in the work.

A Liberty Loan Stacker Committee

men of the various districts, and Wig
orous methods will be taken to round
up those who can afford to buy bonds
but refuse to do so.
The committee will consider all
cases reported to it from all sections
of the county. Those accused of be-
ing slackers will be invited to appear
before it, and will be given a fair
hearing before any action is taken.
A plan that was approved at the
county meeting. and which may be
adopted will be the publication of
Slackers' List, in which are enrolled
those who fail to square themselves
with the Slacker's Board.
