ATTEMPT TO FIX PRICE OF
BUTTER AT 90 CENTS FAILS

The attempt of the food admins
traitor to fix the price OF butter at
Seattle at sixty cents a pound has
thus far met with failure.
The following report on the situat-
ion is from the Seattle Post-Intellig-

that they quoted - OF the market
October 26 in RESPONSE to Mr.. Heb

Administrator Hebberd has been
making an investigation Of the Sc

two months. Eggs advanced to the
highest cost ever known here thru

season there is normally a sudden

owing to the rains. At these times
the butter and butterfat markets au-
tomatically decline. This year the
rains of August started the grass de-
velopment at - a much earlior date
and as a result the fall supply of but
ter was heavy. Utah. Idaho, Oregon
and other intermountain points show
ed a material increase in the supply.
The surplus compelled an overflow in
all leading North Pacific coast CEN
ters and a 60c market resulted.
This surplus is now cleaned up and
the markets generally are resuming
their stronger tone. In the meantime
storage stocks are cleaning up and
city creamery men find themselves
directly in competition with each 9th
er for the fats and out of alignment
with California should they find it
necessary to import stock from that
state at a profit.

SCHOOL IN LYNDEN ISN'T JUST
LIKE THOSE OF SUNNY FRANCE

Lewis Tromp, graduate of the
Lynden High School, finds that the
schools of FraLce aren't exactly like
those of this district.
He describes the differences in a
letter received here this week, and
tells of his experiences as follows:
We moved into a new billet night
before last. 1t is an old loft where
the French used to dry clothes.
There are forty of US in it. OF
course we still sleep on the floor.
but that doesn't bother me in the
least anymore.
was in a French schoolhouse
near here the other day, and 1 can
tell you it is nothing like the Lynden
schools. The kids here sit at little
homemade desks. which are sup
posed to accommodate two and the
seats are narrow with straight backs.
The desks are carved full Of names
and dates as old as 1870. The walls
are covered with maps and pictures.
but they have only one small black
board, which is nothing but board
painted black. They have a small
shed and play yard in the rear. but
the front of the building borders
on the street, and you couldn't tell
1t from grocery store, barn or post

shoes and the boys wear a sort of
black calico dress outside over their
trousers. the same as the girls. I
can't tell them apart if they have a
hat on.
We take long hike once a week
and have been through nearly every
village near here, but they are all
nearly the same. They all have q
stone church with big steeple in
which hangs three or four bells
which are rung on every occasion, it
seems. The churches are very pretty
inside, filled with statues. crosses
and candles. The people here are
nearly all Catholic.

paintings and sculpturings in Limog-

very beautiful and worth seeing.
There were many paintings dated

about the old cemetery here. 1t is
very pretty. but the graves are only

LYNDEN HALLS PEACE
WITH DEMONSTRATION
Noise And Formal Celebration Greet
Armistice That Closes Great Eur
opean War

The news that peace had finally
closed the Great War certainly de-
lighted the Lynden district, anc 1t
wasn't a bit backward about ex-
pressing its pleasure.
Whistles disturbed the air early
in the day Monday. and from that
time on. the hours were a grand pro-
cession of parades and clatter. The
workers of the Imperial Fir Lumber
Company with August Klocke. prop
prietor. marched through the streets,
and they were Immediately followed
by hundreds of others. Floats ap-
peared, and the Kaiser, stuffed, trav-
elled up and down the street behind
two or three automobiles.
Lynden stores closed promptly.
and formal celebration was held at
one O'Clock in the afternoon at the
corner of Fifth and Front Street
A grand band composed of a section
of the Liberty band and volunteers
with drums and other instruments
played patriotic airs during the pro-
gram. The Rev. w. o. Benadom de-

LINDEN BUSY RAISING
$4,5OO FOR WAR WORK
Drive OF Seven Organization For Aid
Brings Fine Response; Take Your
Subscription To Bank

Dispensing altogether with the nec-
cssity OF sending out solicitors to
make personal appeal, Lynden this
week is quietly raising its quota of
$4,000 for the United War Work
campaign.
The Lynden War Chest Fund sent
out an appeal to its subscribers, and
subscriptions are now being received
at the Lynden State Eank. Those
who have not received a notice. or
who are not listed among the War
Chest subscribers. or who desire to
increase their gift for war charities,
are urged to bring in their check at
once to the bank.
''Lynden will meet it's obligation
on ihis United War Work drive one
hundred per cent to the good" de-
clared w. H. Wapics. district chair
man today. "All should pan to take
a part in this great work. No per-
sonal solicitors will be sent out, as
we feel that Lynden people under
stand the need for these funds and
will bring in theii offerings them
selves"
Tho Lynden War Chest Fund COM
mittee sent out the following appeal
to its subscribers:
1.-The seven great organizations,
which under authority of the govern
ment are making the United War
Work drive for funds this week. have
assigned to the Lynden district as its
quota the sum of $4.500. To meet
this appeal, the Lynden War Chest
Fund has but $3.175 on hand and
pledged.
1.-THE net contributions to the Lyn-
den War Chest Fund we're $7,100.
OF this sum your executive commit
tee paid out $4,000 to the National
R,d Cross. 500 to the Salvation Ar
my's War Work. and $25 to the Ma
tion.L League for Women's Service,
a total Of $3.s25.
"It was originally expected that
the call on Lynden by the Y. M. c.
A.. Y. w. C. A.. and the other organ
izations would not be more than $3.-
100, and the War Chest had ample
funds to pay this quota promptly.
The vital needs Of the boys at the
front, however. caused an appeal
for q larger sum. To meet this def
cit before November IS. the closing
day OF the campaign. it will be neces-
sary for each War Chest subscriber
to send in an additional twenty per
cent subscription.
Wont you do this by return mail.
SO that Lynden can go over the top
for the soldier boys"
Lynden teachers aided the United
War Work Drive committee last week
by taking charge of the sending OF
notices to contributors to the War
Chest fund. A staff of six worked
two days arranging the lists and
sending out the letters.
