A NECESSITY

The total destruction of the home
of r. B. lie Cocq this month was due
in a large measure to the suspension
of the telephone system, and the i'm
possibility OF getting the fire depart
ment to the scene on time. In en-
ergencies of this kind. the lack OF
a telephone may mean a loss of sew
eral thousands of dollars. while the
difficulty of reaching a physician
promptly, may result in the passing
of a life.
1t is encouraging to observe the
strenuous efforts the Farmers Nut
ual Telephone Company is making to
restore its lines and resume service.
Whatever the cost. the district can
not do without the telephone.

THIS WAY OUT!

Too often these days does one hear
rumors of unpatriotic remarks and
deeds of citizens of the Lynden dis
trict. In some cases, the matter has
been called to the attention of the
federal authorities. but no action kas
been taken.
Such disasters as the sinking Of
the Tuscania, with Lynden boys on
board, brings the war so close to our
doors that the faintest show of treas

the district should be carefully in
vestigated, and suitable punishmcnts
