S7S,95O is LYNDEN'S
LIBERTY BOND SCORE
Total Shows General Response From
All Corners OF District; Nearly
Six Hundred Buy

The total of Lynden's sale of Lib
erty Bonds mounted to $78,950 this
week, nearly four thousand dollars
above the districts quota. 1t is be-
lieved that additional sales before the
close of the drive will bring the fin
ais to nearly eighty thousand dollars.
A remarkable feature about the
drive in Lynden is the general res
ponse made by all citizens to the re-
quest of the Liberty Loan committee
to appear before it. Less than a hun
dred delinquents were on the books
of the board at the close OF the first
week, and all but a dozen were ac-
counted for at the final session of the
Board Saturday. In other words,
the Board has been able to account
for one hundred per cent OF the pos
sible bond buyers in it's territory.
Nearly six hundred buyers were
recorded in the Lynden district, the
figures show, indicating handsome
general response to the government s
appeal for funds.
The Fourth Liberty Loan honor
emblem won by the Lynden district
was received last Saturday, and was
displayed beside it's sister banner of
the Third Loan on the standard a.
cross Front Street.

WHEREIN OUR HENRY SHAGREN
SWATTETH M'MILLAN, ALMOST

Because Chairman Mcmillan. of the
board of county commissioners, elec-
ted to arrange a road contract with
out consulting Commissioner Henry
Shagren, there was nearly fight at
the meeting of the board Friday.
County Auditor Miller stepped in be-
tween the commissioners and pre-
vented what looked like a promis-
ing go"
Mr.. Shagren upon entering the
board room, demanded to know il il
was true that Mr.. Mcmillan had set
tied the Samish lake road contract
without consulting the board. Upon
the reply being unsatisfactory, Mr.
Shagren jumped to his feet and de-
clared that he had had enough Of the
"one-man business.
81 am through with it," he is re-
ported to have declared. 81 decline
to be a party any longer to this sys-
tenn of running the county's business
to suit Mr.. Mcmillan and to play his
game. l shall resign!"
Hot words followed and Mr.. Miller
interposed his large and effective per-
son between the justly outraged
Shagren and the would-be boss OF
Whatcom county. Shagren then left
reiterating that he would quit the
board.
For once, tits said, Commissioner
Henry Slater refrained from saying
"Me-too!"

LITTLE CHAUTAUQUA
COMING TO LINDEN
Winter Course Will Be Brought To
City For Benefit OF Public Lib
rary; Fine Numbers On Program

A little Chautauqua consisting Of
four ringing numbers will be brought
to Lynden this fall by the Lynden
Public Library, and will help to
brighten up the dark months of the
year. The fund netted by the pro-
ject will be used to increase the size
and build up the library.
Music of the highest order, lee
lures and other entertainments will
be included on the program for the
course. The first number will come
to Lynden on Thursday, November
7, and the others will follow at in
tervals of few weeks.
DR.. Arthur Walwyn Evans. neph-
ew of David Lloyd George. will be
one of the headliners Of the course.
He will speak on What America
Means to Me-" The significance Of
such a subject from such a man is
apparent. After six years in the u
nited States, he has become an Am
erican citizen, though prior to coming
to this country, he enjoyed the pres
tige of the Lloyd-Georges, the great
est political family in England. If not
all Europe. On terms of intimacy
with Lords Kitchener and Roberts,
General Booth, Joseph Chamberlain,
John Ruskin, Gladstone, Edward VII
and Queen Victoria, and others, the
deW6hd for adequate expression of
his talents was insistent. But Evans
was restless, dissatisfied. He trav-
eled in fifteen countries and lived
in six of them, in each as close a
student of social, industrial and pol
itical life as he has been in England.
Into What America Means To
Me-" the great Welsh orator has
packed the sanest criticism and the
most fervent tribute to America that
has been heard in many years.
Other numbers are the Cordova
Concert Company. made up of four
distinguished musicians, Bess Gear
hart Morrison, a celebrated enter
tainer. and the Ionian Serenaders,
musicians, singers and readers that
have made a universal hit.
Reserved seat tickets for the en-
tire course will be $1.65 for adults,
and $1.1O for children, including the
war tax. Admission to the single
numbers will be fifty cents each, plus
the war tax.
Library board members will offer
the tickets for sale this week.

CROP REPORT INDICATES HIGH
PRICES OF POTATOES AND HAY

The official report of the United
States Department of Agriculture on
Washington crops was issued this
week, and indicates shortages and
higher prices for winter in many de-
partments.
The following is from the report:
Oats on the La Conner flat yielded
considerably below average, and in
the Palouse. Ferry and Stevens Coun-
ties, the crop is much lighter than
the unusually small crop of year
ago.
The potato crop Is under normal
on account of drought which prevent
ed proper filling of hills. The stand
Of the large irrigated crop in tha
Yakima Valley is thinner than usual
and blight has caused additional in
jury.
The near failure Of oats. barley
and grain hay has caused a shortage
of livestock feed; and the lack of
rainfall in September causing a fail
ure of pasture in the Sound dairy
sections, has increased the serious
ness of the feed situation. The stand
of sugar beets is comparatively thin
ner than a year ago. Fall seeding
has been considerably delayed dur
ing September in many parts Of the
state owing to lack OF necessary rain
extremely late sections, is practically
all. Harvesting. excepting in the
completed.

CHAIRMAN TELLS OF
RESULTS OF BOND SALE
Committee Issues Statement And Re-
port on Drive In Lynden District
Now Ending

A word Of thanks to the people of
the Lynden district for their res
ponse to the governments appeal for
Liberty Bond subscriptions, togeth-
er with a report concerning five cit
izens who did not measure up to the
average in the opinion Of the local
committee, Is contained in a state
mcnt issued today by E. Edison, the
chairman Of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee of the Lynden District.
The following is Mr.. Edson's state
ment:
Il wish to congratulate and thank
the people of the Lynden district for
their splendid response in the Liberty
Loan campaign just ending. 1t is
record to be proud of under any cir
cumstances and compared with the
way this drive is going in many plac
es, We have additional reason for
feeling rather elated over it. The
response has been very general and
in most cases the disposition to aid
and tighten the labors of the Commit
tee has been very gratifying and very
much appreciated.
unfortunately there have been a
few. a very few individuals who have
proven obdurate to all appeals. A
few in this class whom l believe de-
serve especial mention are as fol-
lows:
FRED FISHER German who
fought in the Franco-German war
A very well-to-do farmer, reputed
wealthy. Under strong urging, took
$500 of the 3rd Loan. Took nothing
this time.
HENRY Observation-Disclosures
One of the very well-fixed North
Prairie farmers. Took $50 of the
3rd Loan. Offered to take $50 this
time, but no more.
CARL FULLNER-German A
river-bottom farmer of some means;
refused to call on the Committee and
went to Everson and bought a $50
bond.
ALBERT THEEL-German. An
owner of a fine river bottom farm.
After much pressure, took $500 Of
the 3rd Loan. Refused to do any
thing near what the Committee con-
sidered his share this time and like
wise went to Everson and bought a
800 bond.
r. E. HAWLEY-native-bO Am
erican. Owner of considerable prop
erty and apparently in comfortable
circumstances. Has taken no bonds
and no War Savings Stamps, as far
as known.
with one exception, the members
of the denomination known as Rus
sellites, have not purchased Bonds,
and the vast majority Of them have
not shown their recognition OF their
duty to the call of their Government
by even the courtesy of appearing be-
fore the Committee.
There may. upon further invest
igation, be a few more names to add
to this list next week.

mittee, Lynden District"

TRY TO KEEP AXLING'S
NAME OFF OF TICKET
Opinion OF General Would
Prevent Local Man From Running;
Will Make Legal Fight

The Whatcom County democratic
central committee will start mandam-
us proceedings this week against
Auditor James A. Miller to compel
him to place on the democratic tick
ct the names of Conrad Axling and T.
J. Riley, candidates for commission
er from the Second and Third Dist
rict.
A ruling by Attorney-General Tan
ner, in a letter to Loomis Baldrey,
prosecuting attorney, stated that he
has not altered his mind about a SIM
liar opinion given the prosecuting at
torney of Wahkiahkum County In
1912.
The following information concern
ing this ruling is from the Belling-
ham Herald:
According to the opinion Of State
Attorney General Tanner the demo-
Gratis whose names were filed with
the county auditor last Saturday by
the democratic central committee OF
Whatcom county to fill vacancies on
the democratic ticket in November
will not be eligible to run for the Off
ces designated by the committee.
In letter to Loomis Baldrey, pro-
scouting attorney, Mr.. Tanner said
that he still adhered to an opinion
given to the prosecuting attorney of
Wahkiakum county in 1912. in a
similar case. This being true, the
four men named by the democratic
central committee to fill vacancies in
the fields of state representative and
county commissioner can not have
their names printed on the ballot of
November 5 because republicans re-
ceived the nomination for those Off
ces.
The only hope the democrats have,
and it is a very slim one, is that the
republicans nominated on the demo-
cratic ticket will refuse to accept the
democratic nomination. They can re-
fuse to run on the democratic ticket,
but unless they refuse to do so their
names remain on the ticket as the
democratic nominees, even though
they elect to run on the republican
ticket, as will be the case with Chas.
Il. Roth in the Fifty-fourth district,
to oppose whom the democratic GEN.
tral committee selected Emil Hoof,
president of the Central Labor Coun-
Gil; E. C. Baxter, the republican
nominee for commissioner in the Sc
cond district, whom the democrats
decided to oppose with c. R. Axling,
and with Henry Slater, republican
nominee in the Third district. whose
democratic opponent as named by the
central committee is T. R. Riley.
In the Fifty-third district Will A.
Pike, defeated republican candidate
received the democratic nomination.
The democrats last Saturday chose
Paul A. Wolton, of Blaine, to run for
this Office.
In the Fifty-fourth district both
Charles 1. Roth and George Speirs re-
ceived two votes on the democratic
ticket one more than Pope Higgins,
democrat. To determine whether
Mr.. Roth or Mr.. Spiers shall run on
the democratic ticket they will have
to draw straws. If Mr.. Roth, hold
ing the republican nomination, wins
the lottery, his name will have to re-
main on the democratic ticket II he
does not decline the democratic NOM
iination. II he declines it the demo

develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many Of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics Of influen-
"a Of earlier years Is not yet known.
"Epidemics Of influenza have visited
this country since 1847. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of Influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread nTst to Russia and
thence over practically the entire CIV
ilized world. Three years later there
was another f1are-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic II
called Spanish Influenza there 10 NO
reason to believe that 1t originated In
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall Of 1911"
How can "spanIsh influenza" be rec
eonlxed7
There is as yet no certain way in
which a single case of Spanish infiu-
enxa' can be recognized. On the 9TH
er hand, recognition Is easy where
there is q group Of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds. which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of influenza
may occur at any season Of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
Intensely In Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case Of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fsver, pain. depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset a. they are In influenza. FhNl-
ly, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community 20 rapidly or
% extensively a. does influenza.
"In most cases q person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains In the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
disxy, some vomit Most Of the pa
tisnts complain Of feeling chilly. and
with this comes q fever In which the
temperature rises to 100 to 1O4. In
most cases the pulse remains relative
ly slow.
"In appearance one 10 struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side Of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloOdshOt.' or con-
gested,' a. the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
of q cold may not be marked; never
theless the patient looks and feels very
sick.
"In addition to the appearance and
the symptoms az already described,

CHEATED THE GOVT.
Vermont Manufacturing Company, Oleomargarine Producers, Evaded Million in Taxes by Deceit.

New York, June 1S.-To an indict- ment returned in September, 1915, charging conspiracy to defraud the government through the artificial col bring of oleomargarine, Frank w. Til linghast, Leonard l.. Barber and Sam uel E. Fenner, in business at Provi- deMce, R. l., as the Vermont Manufac- turing company, have entered pleas of guilty before Federal Judge Hand.
 Frauds aggregating $1,20O,O0O are alleged to have been committed by the defendants between 1912 and 1914 by using palm oil to color oleomargarine so as to deceive the internal revenue collectors and evade a tax of 10 cents a pound on the product manufac- tured by them.
 The sum of $1,OOO,OO0 is the amount of the unpaid taxes for the recovery of which the government has instituted a civil suit against the Yer mont Manufacturing company.
 Sentence of the trio was deferred to allow their counsel to prepare answers to the district attorneys statement of the facts in the case to the court.
 Tillinghast is president of the con- cern
