FAIR DATES SHIFTED
AHEAD ONE WEEK
Because OF Conflict With Puyallup
Exhibition, Directors Vote To
Make Change

The dates OF the Whatcom County
Fair were shifted ahead one week
to September % to 81 at a special
meeting of the fair directors this
week.
The action was taken to avoid a
conflict with the big Western Wash
ington Fair at Puyallup, scheduled
also for the first week in October.
Because of this conflict, What
com County's Fair would have had
difficulty in securing judges for the
various competitions. Exhibit mat
erial from the State College and the
Western Washington Experiment
Stations that had been promised for
display at Lynden also could not
have been obtained, and lecturers
from these institutions who were in
tending to spend a week at both of
the fairs, would have been forced to
pass up one or the other.
The new date. the directors be-
lieve. will suit many Whatcom Coun-
ty exhibitors better. and will enable
them to show a wider variety of var
ious products.

TELLS LYNDEN HOW
u. S. AIDS SOLDIERS
Army Man Describes Plans To Help
Disabled Men Watch Out For Fa.
kers In Uniform, He Says

Colonel Arthur Woods, Assistant
to the Secretary of War in charge of
finding employment for demobilized
soldiers, sailors and marines, has
learned that in the Lynden district
people generally do not know just
what the Government is doing to en-
a BILE men disabled in the line of du-
ty to re-establish themselves in civil
life
Inasmueh as the Government took
these men out of civil life and placed
them in camps and in the trenches
where their disabilities were incur
red, the obligation upon the Govern
ment to re-establish them in civil
life is clear. And it should be under
stood that those injured in France
are not the only ones entitled to as
sistance. for all disabled service men.
whether injured in the United States
or abroad, are provided for equally.
For establishing the disabled in
civil life, the authorized agency of
the Government is the Federal Board
for Vocational Education. which is
charged by Congress with the ''vo-
cational training of disabled soldiers
and the placement of rehabilitated
persons in suitable and gainful oc-
cupations" after their discharge from
the Army.
The Government. it will be noted,
not only trains the disabled man,
with unimpaired efficiency, the re-
sponsibilities of civil life, but also
assists him in securing employment
at the end of his period of training.
In some large cities crippled men
in uniform are seen on the street
engaged in "panhandling kindly
disposed persons. 1t has been found
that in nearly every case these men
were just plain ordinary fakirs in
the guise of soldiers. who took this
method of enlisting unmerited SYM
pathy from the public. There is no
excuse for these fakirs. No man dis
abled in the service need engage in
any sort Of holdup game on the
streets nor need he engage in any
occupation whatever which is not
becoming to him. Anyone seeing men
in uniform so engaged should inform
them of provision made for their
training and placement by the Gov
ernment If any man after being
informed what his opportunities are
continues his game, a favor will be
done the great body of self-respect-
ing disabled men who are trying to
make something of themselves, If
every case of this character is re-
ported to the nearest branch Office
Bof the Federal Board for Vocational
Education.
If any disabled service man who is
considered by the Bureau Of War
Risk Insurance to be as much as 10
per cent disabled, will get in touch
with the Federal Board for Vocation
al Education, Room 539 Central
Bldg. Seattle, Wash. the Federal
Board will place them in educational
institutions, when education is ne
cessary and feasible. where suita-
Bile trades or occupations will be
taught them according to their in
dividual experience, capacities and
preferences. disabled man so in
capaeitated that he cannot take up

have a maximum strength and mini mum stretch in both warp and filling.
 The results of these tests show that the strongest fabrics were obtained from the Sakellaridis- Egyptian cotton and that the fabrics made from the American-Egyptian and Sea Island cottons were practically equal to each other both in strength and stretch.
 Possessing practically the same or equal characteristics as its rivals. and havlng longer staple, Arizona -Egyp- tan cotton is in every way as desir- able 1T not more so than the Sea Is- land and the Egyptian varieties which have so long been the cream of the | market
 The statement continues: Arrange ments will be made by the producers to store In New Bedford a supply of this cotton so that mills will be able to nur chase for immediate delivery through a local broker
 We are submitting the foregoing in formation regarding this cotton to the l cotton manufacturers using long stapIe cotton because it has been developed largely under government supervision. '1t is believed that domestic nro- duction of all extra staple cotton should receive proper support at this time in order to stabilize its farther growth and development"
 Because of foreign cotton importa- tons threatenin~ the market of the home product the representative of the cotton committee sent to Washington made an attempt to have some action taken to prohibit or restrict the i'm portation into this country during tbe coning year or Old World Egyptian ket for the Arizona product The fed eral committee on cotton distrib,ftion recognized the necessity of some such acton. and in a letter to the local cot : ton committee Charles J.

kets. advised them as follows on this subject:
 Because of the statistical position thus indicated the committee on cotton distribution has made recommenda- tions to the war trade board that no further importations of the Old World Egyptian be permitted until the pres ent condition of over-supply and stag nation is relieved. Of course we real ize that these activities do not fur nish immediate relief to producers of this long staple cotton but you may rest assured that we fully realize the crisis confronting the farmers in the Salt River Valley and every effort will be made to secure as much relief as is possible under the circumstances"
 While in a recent vote in the senate the bill introduced by Senator Smith to prohibit the importation into the United States of Egyptian cotton for six months was defeated, the war trade board recognizes the conditions COB. fronting American growers and have limited the importation of Egyptian cotton to 10000 bales in the first six months of 1919.

of improvement were discussed. An other meeting was held OnfNoVember 2l at which definite plans for action were perfected
 It was found that the government allows the mills to use either Sea ls- land, Sakellaridis, or -Egyp- tian cotton, providing that the goods which they make come up to the rigid specifications of the signal corps. But as a matter of actual practice the man ulacturers were making almost all of these goods out of Sea lsalnd. The mill men knew for a certainty what re- suits they could obtain Sea Island, and they did not feel sure about the Amer ican Egyptian As to the Sakellaridis. the manufacturers could not be sure when they would receive any that they could buy in Egypt owing to govern nent control of the Egyptian crop and lack of shipping.
 In short. the committee found that the chief trouble seemed to be not the lack of the quality Of the cotton grown here. but the fact that its value was not yet sufficiently known among the mills of New England. nor were they sure of getting in satisfactory and continuing qualities. Suggestions for relief sent in by many growers incor- porated the idea of sending representa- tives of this committee to Washington to secure the help of the federal au- thorities on the following lines:
 1. Presenting officially 10 the spin ners of the east the exceptional quality of the Arizona Egyptian cotton and giving publicity to the recent tests as to the length aud strength of the Ari- zona grown cotton
Arizona republican., 1919-02-20

2. Ascertaining to just what extent financial assistance could be. obtained through the government, either through the federal reserve or other agencies, should it be necessary.
 3. Endeavor to secure information of the war trade board prohibiting un- der existing conditions importation of old world Egyptian cotton.
 In line with the general trend of these suggestions Dwight B. Heard was sent to Washington as representative of the cotton committee of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, and as a result hundreds of cotton spinners in the United States are now aware of the ex- istence of Pima variety of long staple cotton grown exclusively in the Salt River Valley of Arizona. The spinners l1how its characteristics. it's excellent qualities and are aware of the tests which have been made on this cotton, proving it's high quality beyond ques- tion.
 Through the instance of the cotton committee, Charles J. Brand, chief of the bureau of markets, prepared a statement concerning the Pima cotton | industry of this valley. setting forth the results of tests of tho product i This statement which follows, in the | form of a letter, was sent to hundreds
Arizona republican., 1919-02-20

Introduction of the cotton industry into Arizona within some three years, contributing as it does. more than S14- 0aO 900 annually to the richness of the state. could not help but cause unsatis- factory market conditions for Arizona cotton because of it's enormous yield as well as the unknown quality of the product. Market conditions were not Che most favorable to the Arizona cot ton growers this season, and it was evident that something had to be done to secure a broader market for the Arizona Pima cotton.
 lts high quality had been proven. Its strength was known Co be greater than that Of tho Sea Island cotton. Tests had shown that it was fully as desir- able for use in the manufacture of air. plane fabric. balloon cloth and gas masks ss the Sea Island. and this year tho staple length was even better than last year, SO no reason existed why there should not be a good market for Arizona's new product

of spinners of fine cotton on Decem Der. 30:
 December 30, 1918. Gentlemen:
 We feel that it may interest you to know the remarkable development which has been obtained during recent years of new type of long staple cot ton. known as the American Egyptian of the Pima variety, principally pro- duced in Arizona where the estimated crop this year will amount to about 3i,- 900 bales.
 The development of this new type of cotton is the result of about twelve years continuous field work by the department of agriculture.
 For the last four years this cotton has been produced in steadily increas- ing commercial quantities, its volume this year nearly equalling that of the Sea Island crop.
 The quality of this cotton, owing to very careful method of seed selec- tion and government inspection. to- gether with constantly improving cul- tural methods, has steadily improved, resulting in an unusual degree of uni- formity of the length of fiber. The recent tests which have been made under the supervision of the war department and the bureau Of markets of the department of agriculture, in
