Paris, June 25.-No word has been
received from Weimar relative to
the new German plenipotentiraries
at Versailles. The date of the cere-
mony Of signing the treaty has not
as yet been given but the belief is
gaining ground that it will occur
Thursday or possibly Friday.

Claim No. 1892, favor of L. D.
Forncrook, undersheriff, for $500,
covering trip with Game Warden.
We do not believe the County should
be charged for trips of this nature
with State Officials.
Claim No. 1858, favor of Rex M.
Movius, County Treasurer, for $500,
covers refunds of Special Poor Tax
collections made directly by the
Treasurer. The matter of making re-
funds of this nature has been called
to your attention repeatedly, and we
must insist that this practice must
be discontinued.
Claim No. 17643, favor of Jos. F.
Dolin, for $7,812.OO, covers the print.
ing of ballots for one election. We
do not believe that this bill was pre-.
sented in accordance with the print
ing contract. We find that the same
charge (s15.75 per NJ was made for
the sample ballots for each party, as
was charged for the first one thous.
and, and, whereas, the contract states
that after the first thousand and rate
per thousand will be less. 1t is our
opinion that the official ballots and
the sample ballots for each party
should be considered as one "run'
and all over the first thousand paid
for at the rate stipulated for each
subsequent thousand.
Concluding, we wish to say that
many of the items mentioned herein
have been called to your attention in
crevious reports, and we would ap.
preciate closer following of the
law and the recommendations of this
Department.
Respectfully submitted,
H. S. MAGRAW.

You should have lease in the

are now within your reach. No mat

the field develops, your lease will be

production, leases will sell for thou
sands of dollars per acre. Two or
three hundred barrel productions pay
handsome profits. Just put this

NEW sTUURMANs RESIDENCE
IMPROVES NORTH IYNDEN

Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Stuurmans and
family have, moved into their new
nine-room residence Just completed
on their farm north Of Lynden. The
structure is a handsome one, and Is
one of the finest farm homes in the
county.
Finishing touches are now being
placed upon 1t. A feature Of the new
home is the big living room that COM
mands a fine view from the front Of
the house. Modern eonveniences OF
all kinds are found in the new dwell
ling.
That the Lynden farmer can bet
ter afford to build now even though
construction costs are high. than he
could during the low-price seasons
Of q few years ago. is the contention
of Mr.. Stuurmans. The better fig
ures commanded by all farm products
now makes 1t easier to pay the big
ger bills. he says.

The term ''links" in connection with
golf is OF Scottish origin. 1t originally
was used to designate a stretch of land
covered with short grass and stumble
which lies between the high point OF

Scottish seaboard. The first golf cours-
es were laid out along these stretches,

Answers to these questions will have
