Over the top for the Fifth Victory

closed its war record with SUBJ

and one hundred dollars above the
quota! And not a dollar of the am
ount was subscribed by banks, as
was the case in other sections.
The showing made by Lynden
means the winning of another hon
or emblem, as the treasury depart
ment promised flag to all commun-
tiles that went over the top. The
emblem will have a big V in the CEN
ter.
Three hundred and twenty-four
citizens bought Victory Bonds during
the sale, about half the number who
purchased at the Fourth Loan. The
number of fifty dollar subscriptions
was considerably less. however.

WAR VETERAN VISITS LYNDEN
AFTER SIX MONTHS AT FRONT

Herbert Byers, brother of Mrs.
Harry Walters, who was six months
under fire in the Argonne, as an am
bulance driver is visiting friends in
Lynden preparatory to trip back
east to his home. Mr.. Byers was
discharged from the 91st division at
Camp Lewis last Saturday. He says
it was a very common thing to be
on constant duty for twenty-five
hours witout relief. The darkest
nights he ever saw were in France.
The truck drivers were never per-
mitted to use lights at night, so
they had to subconsiously feel their
way along. To run into ditch and
get stuck was a treat" as that gave
a momentary rest. AS long as the
cars could move they had to be on
the 60. Mr.. Byers declares he is
surprised to see SO many soldiers re-
turning after having seen so many
of the battlefields of France actual
ly covered with the bodies of fallen
heroes. Byers was in the same sec
tor as Gale Edison for while.

WANTS TO ORGANIZE
FARM BUREAU HERE
County Agent Seeks To Form New
Body For WhatcOm; Describes Its
Purposes And Plans

H. B. Carroll, jr., county agricult-
ural agent, is advocating the form
alton of County Farm Bureau in
this county.
He describes the bureau as fol-
lows:
A County Farm Bureau is an asso-
citation of farmers and farmers wives
which has for its purpose the devel-
opment of the most profitable and
permanent system of agriculture
and the most wholesome and pro-
gressive home and community life.
There are more than 500 such farm
bureaus in the 33 northern and wes-
tern states having total member
ship of nearly half million farmers.
The F &rm Bureau is non-secret
and non-political organization. 1t
has no local or community branch
1t does not therefore compete with or
take the place of existing organiza-
tions but co-operates with all will
ing to cooperate. The members at
tend community and countrywide
meetings, not regularly but only
when there is a special need for such
meetings. 1t receives special assist
ance from the County Agricultural
/ Agent, and the home demonstration
agent and the county club leader be-
cause it is recognized as the county
organization through which the state
and federal government carries on
all extension work in agriculture and
home economics.
The Farm Bureau decides upon
definite community and county pro-
blems which need it's attention and
outlines constructive progress OF
work and aims to do its work and
serve the people through commit,
tees.
1t has no unnecessary machinery
There is only one committeeman on
each committee for each main def
mite line of work to be undertaken
The committees are kept as small
as possible and no member is placed
on any committee until there is q
piece of work that should be done
If the committee is already large
the work is assigned to some one al
ready on the committee.
The most important committees
are as follows:
No / A community committee Of
f: ON / to men and women each
of whom serves as leader of some
community activity or project in
Guiding in the community program
of work.
No. 2. A county executive commit
tee of 8 to IL members including the
president, vice-president and secre
tary-treasurer of the Farm Bureau
Each person on the executive com
mittee including the officers, serves
