PHONE RATES RAISED
FOR SLOW PAYERS
Farmers Mutual Announces 25 Per
Cent Advance For Those Who De.
lay Paying Bills

The Farmers Mutual Telephone
Company will in the futule exact a
fpcn5ity of twenty-five per cent from
subscribers who do not pay their
bills promptly. A notice of the new
rate has been filed with the Public
Service Commission.
The company has been seriously
hampered in the past by the delay OF
many subscribers in paying their ac-
counts. and the new rate schedule
was devised to eliminate the costs OF
collection.
The following explanation of the
new rates was issued today by the
company:
Tho Farmers Mutual Telephone
Company has filed a change of rates
with the Public Service Commission
This is flat increase of 25 per cent
on all rentals, with a discount of 90
per cent if the rentals are paid by
the 18th day of the first month of
each quarter. or the 18th of the
month where people pay monthly
This schedule takes effect on July
unless revoked by the Public Service
Commission.
This simply means that there is
to be put into effect a discount sys-
TEN of collections. and the person
paying promptly will get his rentals
for the same pr.ce as usual, and those
who require us to send ou. collectors
will have to stand part of that ex-
pense.

LYNDEN GROWERS TO
GET 12c FOR BERRIES
VIII Receive 800 Per Cent More For
Crop Than i'm 1917; Industry On
Fine Basis

Lynden farmers will this year re-
ceive three hundred per cent more for
their raspberry crop than three or
four years ago, and nearly one hun
dred per cent more than the record
price paid them in 1918,
Announcement was made today by
C. NJ. Creamer, manager of the Lyn-
den Cannery, that his institution
was prepared to pay twelve cents
pound for the berries. Last year. the
cannery paid seven cents, and in 1917
the contract price was four cents. In
the years previous to that, the price
ranged from three to four cents
pound, while the growers had diff
Guilty in marketing their crops salts
factorily.
At twelve cents a pound, Lynden
fruit-growers Will make splendid re-
turns on the investment and labor in
volved, and those who stuck to the
industry during the lean years will
be repaid to some extent for their pi-
oneer work.
The high prices of this year and
last is causing an increased interest
in berry growing in the Lynden dis
trict. Experts have said that Lynden
could grow berries as fine as any in
the land, and the limited market has
been the only setback to the growth
of the industry here. A vastly in
creased acreage has been planted to
berries this year, and many farmers
are planning to set out patches for
next season. The Lynden Cannery is
contracting to pay seven cents over
a long period of years. and guarant-
ees to pay in addition any higher fig
ure that the market warrants. Thus
growers who contracted at seven
cents will get twelve this year.
Nine cents will be paid for logan
berries this year by the cannery and
five cents for cherries.

your cattle this year.

yourself of the opportunity and test
your cattle this year.
During the past two years nearly
$500 cows have been tested for tub
erculosis in Whatcom County, and
less than 4 per cent were found to
be reactors. While these few cows
represent less than one-fifth of the
milch cows of the county, it goes to
show that the tested herds are very
free from tuberculosis.
The recent legislature passed a
new law providing a double indemni-
ty in cooperation with the L. S. De-
partment of Agriculture for cattle
that react to the tuberculin test. The
old law only allowed $500 to the
owner for reactor; now it is $4,000
for grades and 800 for pure breds,
and also if the carcass is permitted
to be used for food, and about IS
per cent of the reactors pass for food,
the owner receives salvage returns.
At the present time 9S per cent of
the dairymen of Island County have
made application to have their herds
tested for tuberculosis. Why not es-
tablish a similar record in Whatcom
County?
With this increase in indemities
there should be large demand for
the tuberculin test.
The time that the inspector will
arrive in Whatcom County depends
on the promptness in which the dair-
ymen ask for application blanks. Ap-
plication blanks may be obtained
from the County Agents Office, Room
362 Federal Building. or by writing
to Box 1876. Bellingham.

Dear Mary .FIF- sa1
Your letter came to hand this after
noon with about twenty other pieces
of mail matter. The trains are hav-
ing such n time on account Of the bad
snow blockades and everything is de-
layed. Thank goodness, l don't have

300 letters at one time. Still, he
shouldn't kick; two of the letters con-
tanned a check each. One was from
the Rio Grande railroad company for
$40, Sos. 60, and the other was from the
South Park for s3ll,5l4 The money
was for .s9 taxes owing by the roads.
Speaking of railroads, we had an
other railroad man injured, this time
in the yards at Salida- He is Willis
Bourdette, and he had his head caught
between the engine and fanger while
he was coupling them. One ear was
torn off. His father, c. r. Bourdette,
and his sister, Mrs. Geo. Summers,
went over to Salida this week.
Frank Trevarthen who works in

WOMEN AT WORK

II is estimated that there are no less
than twelve million women gainfully
employed in the United States. For
fifty years American industry has
been calling for help of wonderland
women have responded. Even in the
South, women have overcome their
prejudices, and while the white men
Of that region have been getting into
overalls. the women have tired of
being ladies" and tens of thousands
of them are adding dignity to indus
trial employment. Ks
In Cleveland, Ohio, the main street
car conductors have made demand
for the dismissal of the women con-
ductors, and this lead has been taken
up in other lines Of employment, par
ticularly in cases where there is trade
antagonism to women. The claim
is put forth that patriotic women
who entered industry during the war
should now "patriotically" return to
their kitchens. To this demand the
women return sardonic smiles. They
insist-and they have plenty Of sup
porters to their clain-that their ser
vices as "conductorettes" give better
satisfaction to the public than is OBJ
The women Of today are sure that
there is no argument that can be made
against their claims that in the world
Of typewriters, telephones. stenograp-
by, adding machines filing cabinets
and similar devices, that their sex is
supreme. They likewise contend that
in great many of the new occupa-
tions to which they were called by
the war, they have shown a superior
fitness; and in proof of this claim
they point to increased production in
institutions where given number of
men were supplanted by an equal
number of women.
Another element that enters into
the problem is the rising cost of liv-
ing. and the daughters in the family
who are contributing from 25 TO 80
per cent of the total income Of the
household are agreed that until the
standards of cost are reduced that
they dare not quit their employment,
Many of them, as a matter of fact,
have postponed the ringing of the
wedding bells for this very good reas-
on.
In Washington women have long
outranked men in carrying on the de-
tail of clerical work in Government
offices. The war simply multiplied
their numbers, but the proportion by
which they increased in numbers as
compared to men, remained unchang'
ed. In volunteer work thruout the
country women outstripped the men
for there were few women who die
less than knit and sew. The Rec
Cross and Food Conservation enlisted
the cooperation of practically ever,
woman in the country.
| One interesting feature of th'
/ Cleveland street railway situation
shows that of the 173 women employ
ed as conductors that l53 or SS.5 pei
cent had formerly been employed il
other trades, or in manufacturing
The theory that women have enter
ed industrial employment for patrio
tic reasons does not seem to be borne
out by figures like the above, which
may be accepted as thoroughly rep
resentative of conditions. 1t might
just as well be recognized that the
era has arrived when everybody

DIR. Mary Walker, aged 81 years,
died at her home on Bunker Hill, near
Oswego, last Friday night, following
a long illness. DIR. Walker was q
surgeon in the Civil War and was
awarded congressional medal Of
honor. She gained considerable fame
by being the only woman allowed to
wear male attire by an act of con-
gress. Almost her entire life was
devoted to striving to induce her sex
to reform" in the matter of wearing
apparel. DIR. Walker was a firm be-
lever that mems clothes were the pro
per garb for both sexes, and by special
act of congress was permitted to as
sumo that style of clothing. Despite
her motions" and tastes, she was not
lacking in a sense of humor and used
to tell with great amusement a story
at her own expense. 1t happened one
day while driving thru rural commu-
nifty in New England, her horse threw
a shoe, and on being told that it would
take some time to have him shod, she
decided to walk on to the next village,
a small place named Wareham. Be
ing stranger, and not knowing which
of the numerous crossroads to take,
she appealed to a farmer on the way
and asked: as this the way to Ware
ham," The farmer gazed upon the
woman in mans clothes and replied:

way to wear 'em all right, but |
