FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
II Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
at their best; hungry nations France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on. It is the easiest to ship We
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good

FLOOD DAMAGED FARMS AT
POINTS ALONG BOTTOM LAND

Reports from Ferndale and Ever
son indicate that the damage to the
+ rms along the river were not as
serious as first reported last week.
About the heaviest loser from the
flood at Ferndale was Captain Butts,
whose place just south of the pioneer
picnic grounds was practically ruin
ed. A new channel was cut through
the place, demolishing the house and
barn, and now a considerable portion
of the river flows through this chan
mel and over the flats. Barney Alt
ena, who had the place rented, was
successful in saving his stock but lost
a large amount of hay and grain.
Outside of water entering a few
buildings, moving sidewalks and var
ious woodpilcs, no material damage
was done to Everson proper.
The SPEEDING place southwest of
Everson was cut into badly by the
river; SPEEDING has decided to move
the buildings to his tract of land near
Stranded.

OLD TIMER SAYS THAT RIVER
WAS HIGHER 81 YEARS AGO

Jacob Matz, a Ferndale pioneer
claims that the Nooksack was high.
er thirty-four years ago than it was
during the flood of last week.
Says Mr.. Matz in the Ferndale Rec
ord:
while many claim this to have
been the highest water known here
Jacob Matz, a resident of this place
for As years, states that thirty-four
years ago the Nooksack was fourteen
inches higher than the present flood
at his place three miles up the river
and eight years ago reached a point
only four inches below the former
high water. But cons -ering the de-
struction OF property, this Hood is
conceded to have been the worst ev-
er experienced here.
The Everson Valley Home, howev-
er, declares that the river was fully
two feet lower than during the high
water of 1909.
