REPORT OF DEATH OF SUMAS
PEA CROP AN EXAGGERATlON

The report OF the death OF the
Sumas pea crop as a result of aphls
and dry weather is a gross exaggerat-
ion, declares the Sumas News. The
crop is alive and kicking, it declares.
Says the News:
This paper has been informed by
a number OF farmers in this district
that the pea crop will make an aver
age yield this season. 1t was thought
for a time. during the first part OF
June that dry weather and aphis
might reduce the yield somewhat,
but the timely rains and the appear
ance of comparatively few aphis now
insures the normal yield.
"In making this statement 1t is in
tended to include only the Sumas dis
trict, because reports from other Sec
tions, even in Whatcom county, In
dictate a short crop of peas. The fact
is the soil of this section is better
adapted to the growth Of peas. The
average yield is expected to be
around a ton per acre-some fields
more and some little under"

SHOW MANY WAYS IN WHICH
TO SAVE SUGAR IN CANNING

To encourage the saving of fruit
and vegetables at time when the
supply of sugar is limited, program
for canning without sugar IS being
carried out this season by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State agricultural colleges thru
the boys and girls clubs OF the 33
Northern and Western states. Fruits
are put up in boiling water instead
of sirup; unsweetened products are
canned for pie filling; fruits are made
into sirup, which can be used in many
ways in place of sugar; and fruit
juices are also preserved by steriliz-
ing them to be used later for max
ing jellies, jams. and marmalados.
The juices are also for seasoning in
general cooking and for making bev-
erages. Sugar-beet clubs have been
organized among the boys and girls
in many localities, and instructions
are to be given in the making and
use of homemade sugar-beet sirup.

GOVERNMENT TO SEND
PICTURES TO LYNDEN
United States Division of Films Will
Show Movies OF Yanks At Front
August IA And Is In City

From President Wilson, Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, Secretary of
War Baker, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, Food Administrator Herbert
Hoover, and Chairman George Creel,
of the Committee on Public Informa-
tion, nearly every important figure
in governmental work has within the
last few months taken occasion to
testify to the prominent part that the
motion picture has played and will
play in achieving final victory.
When General Pershing and his
fiotilla of American fighters first
sighted the shores of France last
year, they were greeted by the click
Of motion picture cameras, as well
as by the joyous shouts of the French
people.
From that moment on, every i'm
portant step that General Pershing
and his men have taken in the move
ment against the gray-green hordes
of Kaiserdom has been recorded up
on the films by United States cam
eramen.
Out of this great mass of dramatic
news material, Charles S. Hart, Di-
rector of the Film Division Of the
Committee on Public Information.
and his assistants have selected some
1000 feet of celluloid picturing the
actual work that has been accom-
plished by our new National Army.
Practically every important angle
in the gigantic task Of raising and
equipping an army large enough and
strong enough to outmatch the Hun
has been featured in this impressive
pictorial review.
Shipbuilding, aeroplane construc-
tion, making the clothes for an army,
making it's fighting tools from 16-
inch guns to rifles, feeding, housing,
transport including taking the boys
overseas, the navy and its fighting
ships, big and little-all are graph
ically pictured.
In this way the importance of the
great task upon which America has
entered has been brought home thru
a direct appeal to every citizen, who
has eyes to see.
1t is the desire of the government
to give the friends and families OF
the young crusaders now moving
toward the shell-torn roads OF north
ern France, an opportunity to accom-
pany their boys on this epoch-mak-
ing campaign.
"Pershing's Crusaders" is in the
best sense a historical document of
the day which no American citizen
worthy of the name can neglect to
familiarize himself with.
+ The United States Division OF
Films will send these pictures to Lyn-
den for two days next week, August
IA and Is, Wednesday and Thursday.
The government will show the films
at the Liberty Thcatcr.

RELEASE LYNDEN PEOPLE FROM
PLEDGE TO USE NO WHEAT

Many Lynden peop,a who
bound by their pledge to the Food
Administration to use mo wheat un-
til harvest" will be released from
their voluntary agreement August
first, according to Charles Hebberd
food administrator for Washington,
in a statement issued today.
"In releasing the patriotic fami-
lies from the pledge to abstain from
the use of wheat and wheat products
until harvest / wish to congratulate
accomplished through their volun-
tary efforts but also for the spirit of
sacrifice shown during the weeks
when the food administration was
bending every effort to move much
needed supplies to our associates in
Europe" said Mr. Hebberd. Il be-
lieve this patriotic sacrifice has been
rewarded in the knowledge that with
the help of the State of Washington
and the nation the wheat ration in
Europe has been maintained. In
stead of shipping to Europe nor
NAL surplus of 30,000,000 bushels
the food administration was enabled
to ship 160,OO0.OO0 bushels Of
wheat"
Although the-no wheat pledge has
been abrogated there will be nc
change in the rule as tc the use of
substitutes with wheat -four and
wheat products, according to Mr..
Hebberd, who urges continuance of
the utmost saving in wheat and su-
gar and all other food products.
I'm order that we may build up
sufficient surplus to c:riy US over
some unforeseen critical period the
utmost conservation in the use of
wheat is urged" he said. THE So
so rule as it effects the use of wheat
-four by households will be continued
by the food administration for the
present. / believe that the same spir-
it of sacrifice that has enabled US to
save as much wheat as we have will
also enable US to create a great re-
serve of wheat and other food pro-
ducts needed to assist the allied ma
tions in making the big drive for vic
tory"

WILL GIVE ADVICE ON PROPER
DRAINAGE TO LYNDEN FARMERS

Farmers of Whatcom county who
their drainage questions, will soon
be able to avail themselves of the
services of government drainage en-
gineer. A. B. Crane, who has just
been appointed to that office for Wes-
tern Washington, will be in Whatcom
county for q week or ten days. be-
ginning August 5. His appointment
follows the governments conclusion
that the acreage of farming land and
the production of crops will be in
creased if the farmers are instructed
in the best systems of drainage and
from now on it will have experts
travelling about the country giving
individual instruction to all farmers
who express a wish for it.
Mr.. Crane will not come to this
county with the idea of forming any
drainage districts, though if several
farmers should wish his advice re-
garding the construction of a coop
efatlVe drainage system he Will give
it to them. His work in the main
is limited TO individual instruction
and he will spend anywhere from
few hours to a day or more on a
farm.
His visit to Whateom county is re-
garded as important by II. B. Carol,
county agent, who says the drainage
problem of this section is q. vital one.
I He believes that the farmers should
not hesitate to take advantage of his
visit and he invites them to make
applications for his services by tele-
/ phoning or writing to the county
agents office. In King and Snohom-
I ish counties Mr.. Crane has been in
structing farmers in drainage and
+ his work has been very satisfactory.

LINDEN RED CROSS
HELPS BOYS AT FRONT
Takes Charge OF Many Phases OF
Aid With New Home Service Work
Committee

| The Lynden Red Cross through its
/ department of home service is MAX
ing direct effort to help the boys
from this district who are now at the
front
Just what work this branch OF the
/ Lynden Red Cross does is outlined in
the following statement issued by the
chapter this week:
One of the most important branch
es of the American Red Cross, is the
Civilian Relief. or Home Service.
The work of this branch is to get in
touch with the men that are going
into service, help them with the pro-
blems that confront them, as to in
surance, allowances, and all the 9TH
er things that confront man about
fare during his absence. To get in
touch with the families of the men in
service, il there is delay in the mail
service, or il the allowance is delay
ed or not received, or if it has not
been applied for. All these things are
the work of the Home Service.
All the work of the Home Service
is confidential, and it is never given
unless asked for. There is no desire
to intrude in the affairs of the men
or their families, only to help where
ever possible.
1t is believed that this work can
be done in a better way, ii a list OF
the men in service is kept on file in
the office of the chairman and so that
there may be no delay when it is
needed, it is desired that the name
of every man in service be sent in.
Mrs. Hemingway, secretary, and
Mrs. Serrurier, treasurer, of the Lyn-
den Branch have been working on
this and any name not sent in should
be sent either to them or to Mrs.
Curtis B. Bay, Chairman of the Home
Service Department, phone X742.
If any man about to enter service
will call on Mrs. Bay, she will gladly
help him with the insurance, allot-
ment or allowance. or any other
questions he may want to look into.
Blanks are on hand, also books tell
ing of service, pay, etc.
If the family Of any enlisted man
are not receiving mail, allotment, al
lowance, or having any difficulties, 1t
comes under the Home Service work,
and the chairman will gladly help.
Gen. Pershing has ordered that the
families of the men in service be
safeguarded in every way, as the SOL
dier or sailor who is worried over
home matters, is more subject to di-
sease, shell shock, etc, than the man
who knows his family is well, and is
in constant communication with
them.

HIGH QUANTITY OF WHEAT
SAVED UNDER NEW LAWS

The abrogation of the no wheat
pledge as effecting hotels, restau-
rants, clubs and dining car service
is not applicable to Washington for
the reason that the voluntary agree
ment between the hotel and restau-
rant men and the food administration
to serve $3.50 bread in these estab-
lishments was found to be impracti-
cable because of the difficulty of ba-
kers and hotel and restaurant men in
making a palata BILE product. Hotels,
restaurants and clubs were released
from their agreement several weeks
ago. Public eating places, however,
according to Mr.. Hebberd, will con-
tinue to comply with the baking reg
ulations and to serve victory bread
and bread containing greater per-
centage of substitutes, to patrons.
Though exact figures have not been
compiled. it was estimated today by
the food administration that through
the voluntary pledge made by hotels,
restaurants, clubs and dining cars
there has been effected in the United
States between October ]. 1917, and
August |, 1918, a saving of between
.175.OOO.O 900 and 100000. 200 pounds
of wheat and it's products, $50, 0,OOO,-
600 pounds of meat and 50,00O,OOO
pounds of sugar.
Approximately 5000 hotel propri-
etors have observed the principles TO
the wheat saving pledge, and many
of the 200, 900 proprietors OF other
public eating places have observed
the regulations of the food admins
tration.
