SENDS APPEAL FOR
MUSIC FOR SOLDIERS
j. A. Van Peit Asks For Old Records
And Sheet Music To Cheer Up Boys
At Camps

There is a great famine of phono-
Camp Lewis. Those that have thus
far been provided the men are now
all worn out, and an appeal was is
sued yesterday by the Army and Ma
Wy Y. M. c. A. for a ren owed supply
of used or new records and music.
''The life of an average phono-
graph record It camp is about a
month"; said ]. A. Vac Pelt. assist
ant director of the Y. M. c. A. Social
department at Camp Lewis, land
with the constant use to which it is
put often a great deal less. These
records and the sheet music consti-
tute about the only means by which
the men who are in quarantine can
amuse themselves and the talking
machines are going constantly. When
i. is remembered that between the
new men arriving, who first go into
quarantine, and those who are thus
sles has developed, there are from
200 to 1000 men continuously kept
from mingling with thcir fellows,
the urgent need for these records
becomes appar ont and the demand
is seen to be unlimited. With the US
ing of each record over and over
again, the need of new ones and new
selections becomes easily apparent
| wish to ask all Lynden people who
have such records or sheet music
that they are willing to part with, to
give them for the amusement of the
men at the camp"
Miss Bessie Biehler Of Lynden is
acting as collector of the records and
music, or they may be left with the
Red Cross.

LYNDEN SHOULD RAISE TOTAL
EASILY. SAYS COUNTY OFFICIAL

c. F. Nolte, head of the War Saw
ings Drive in Whatcom County, be-
lieves Lynden should raise its total
easily next Friday.
Mr.. Nolte sent the following mes
sage to the Lynden people:
Those of us who remain at home
while Others dc the fighting have an
ever-increasing number OF opportuni-
ties to do defnite and highly impor-
tant work for our country. We wish
i to do this work as an expression of
the gratitude we feel in being privi-
legged to continue at our usual tasks,
tc enjoy the loving compa nionship of
our families, to meet freely with our
frields and ne.ghbors. to enjoy all
the security of life and most of the
pleasures and the economic privileges
of peace times while other men, who
have had to put aside all these things
are fighting our battles for us on the
sacred soil of France and on the high
seas.
"Our new opportunity to serve
comes as a result of designating June
2S as National War Savings Day, a
day on which all men and women and
all children of sufficient years to ap-
preciate the days significance are
called upon to pledge themselves to
save to the utmost of their ability and
to conserve all possible labor and ma
terials for the Government, and to
buy War Savings Stamps with their
savings. Our part is to do every
thing possible to make this day stand
out among the great days of this
period of the war.
Gould any one OF us be asked to
do less than this? Could any one of
us refuse to do so little thing to win
a war for the worlds freedom? Could
any one of us put aside this plea for
saving while all Europe is crying out
in its agony to be released from the
clutches of the monster that is be-
fouling all it touches? Could We re-
fuse so simple a thing and at the
same time ask other men to give
lives that our own precious lives be
spared and our firesides be kept safe
from the terrors of the Hun?
What the Government asks US to
do is to pledge ourselves to buy at
definite periods with our savings a
specific amount of War Savings
Stamps. The thing to be accomplish
ed is to get subscriptions which will
take care during the balance of the
present year of the unsold portion of
the $4,000, 100000 of War Savings
Stamps authorized by the Congress to
be sold during 1918.
when one stops to think Of the
matter, it is really small thing to
raise 100000 in this prosperous Lyn-
den district. If everyone would do
his share, it would be necessary for
each person to subscribe to only $40
worth of stamps.
THE duty of us at home is to see
to it that the entire amount is sub
scribed We must work to that end.
We must add to our already great
army Of war savers. We must make
more sacrifices ourselves and urge
sacrifices upon others. National War
success all of us hope for"

DRAFT PROGRAM
Number of Men to be Called DuriAw
Next Six Months

General March estimated that D.
500, 900 men qualified for full naili-
tary service would be obtained from
the new registrants and he outlined
the calls for the next year or more as
follows:
August 100000; September, 2o0,-
600; October, $4,000; November,
$4,000; December, 100000; Janu-
airy, 100000; February, 100000, and
10000 monthly thereafter until the
end of next year.
These calls would aggregate 4,205,-
900, against the estimate of $780,
600 to be had from the new registra-
ton, but no explanation was amde of
this and other discrepancies in the
draft figures. General Crowder has
said that the present reservoir in
class l will be exhausted by next
October /, but Secretary Baker made
it plain that the reservoir of men
now in camp in this country is sufi-
cient to keep up the present troop
movement overseas.

PROTESTS MOTOR TAX
Buyer * Secondhand Car Should
Not Pay Original Cost

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Robbins B. Stoeckel has entered
vigorous epprcsest to Washington
against the plan proposed in the war
revenue bill for taxing motor vehicles
upon thcir original cost. Commits
sioner Stoeck4l points out that car
which may have cost $4,000 when it
was new is not worth. that sum a
year or SO after it's purchase, and
that in the event of resale the
second buyer, who may have paid
$1,000 for it, should not be taxed on
the basis of $4,000. He made it
plain, however, that he did not OBJ
ject to the taxation Of automobiles
upon their factory value when the
tax is paid by the original buyer, but
he believed that some consideration
should be shown to buyers of second
hand cars.
A member of the ways and means
committee, who was shown Commits
sioner StoeckePs protest, said that
the committee had amended the auto
mobile section of the bill so that a
tax will be based upon horse power
and will be laid annually upon the car
owner.

More Than Half Needed Amount AL

The Honor Roll is we'll under way.
Already more than one-half of the
amount estimated as necessary to
pay the cost of it's erection has been
raised although the maximum contri-
button received from anyone person
has been limited to one dollar by the
Committee. 1t was thought so many
people would wish to share in this tes-
timonial of appreciation to the boys
of North Canaan in the service that
sufficient money could be raised if
no person gave more than one dollar,
and the results thus far indicate that
this assumption was correct.
The architectural plans are being
prepared by Messrs. Lorraine and
Holt which is a guarantee j. that the
design will be tasty and. a credit to

If there are any who have not vet
contributed and wish to do so they
may have the opportunity by sending
any amount up to one dollar to

PHOTOGRAPHY SCHOOL
COMPLETES 9th SESSION
Exhibition and Sale Given for
the Benefit of the Red
Cross

The Clarence H. White School of
Photography completes its ninth
annual summer session last week,
with an exhibition and sale of photo
graphs for the benefit of the Red
Cross. The photographs were studies
of Civil war costumes, old houses
and other interesting scenes about
the village. The models for nearly
all the photographs were young
ladies of this community and there
fore had an added interest for many.
1t is estimated that nearly three
hundred persons attended the exhi-
bition during the day. To those who
so desired, a member of the school or
Mr.. White, the president, explained
the various methods used in taking
pictures and the effects of different
papers, etc. Platinum, which was
used extensively by photographers
before the war, has been discontinued
because of the shortage and its high
price and a substitute, palladium, is
now being used with very good re-
suits.
A large number of the photographs
on exhibition we're sold and by these
sales it is expected the local branch
of the Red Cross will benefit by at
least $45.
The Clarence H. White School of
Photography was formed about ten
years ago, and is really the outgrowth
of similar school organized at the
Columbia University. The intent of
the school is to teach the proper use
of cameras of every description. To
those who have had little or no exper-
fence the details of this art, from the
exposure to developing and printing,
seem multitudinous and a course in
this school is invaluable to those who
are interested in photography.
The part that photography is play
ing in the great war is known to
everyone and many students who at
tended this school are already en-
gagged in the service. With the spec
ial training required by the govern
ment, some have received commits
sions and others are taking the place
of experienced X-Ray operators
called to the front or acting as assis-
tants.

WOODCHOPPER KILLED
ON CHURCH HILL JOB
Failing Tree Instantly Kills
Elavient Bergeron Thurs
day Afternoon

Flavient Bergeron, 81 years of
age, a French Canadian whose home
is in Springfield, Mass, was killed on
Thursday afternoon by falling tree.
Just how the accident occurred has
not yet been determined, and none
of the men knew of it until Bergeron
was missed at supper time, when a
search of the grounds revealed the
fact that he had been struck on the
head by a falling tree and undoubt-
eddy instantly killed.
The man who felled the tree which
struck Bergeron, trimmed off the
branches but did not discover the
dead man, who was found near an
old stump and was partly hidden by
the branches of the tree. Joseph
Lameraux of Springfield, contracted
to cut the wood and timber on Church
hill and brought the woodchoppers
with him, nearly all of them coming
from out side of this state.
After the body had been viewed
by Medical Examiner Camp, broth
er of the dead man who resides in
Ludlow, Mass, was given permission
to remove the body to that place. An
automobile hearse was immediately
sent from Ludlow and after the re-
mains had been cared for by Under
taker Lasher, they were transported
to Springfield, Mass, where inter-
ment took place.
