whom we all love, are fast coming
back into private life. They must be
put to work. Europe with her more
than 100,000,000 spindles must begin
to buzz to give employment to these
millions of people going back into the
cotton mills. In order to make these
spindlcs buzz, she must get the raw
cotton. The cotton farmer can help
them out if they are willing to make
up for the loss caused them in 1914,
hcn the farmer sacrificed all.
In last weeks Commerce ana
Finance, Thco. II. Price predicts an
early demand from Europe for the fin
ishcd products from our American
mills. hope he is right. The Amcri-
"an mills need good pro,t for their
products, and when they have good
profits they spend freely for the gen
Cral welfare for their employees.
therefore, ii seems that the cotton in
duStry Of America, as wei aS the cot
ton farmer. is about to rcvolvc into a
period of great prosperity.

RPEDICTS ADVANCE
IN COTTON PRICE

Editor The Advertiser:
| feel impelled to give TO the readers
Of your paper, and more especially
to the holding farmers of cotton, a few
facts and figures regarding the present
cotton situation.
| ] want at the beginning to state that
from what | am able to gather from ov-
CT the cotton growing states, this hold
! ing movement is general over the en-
tire cotton belt. One has only to read
the leading Commercial newspapers to
learn that this holding Of cotton by
the farmer is fast commanding the at
tcntiOn of the best business minds con-
ncctcd with cotton in its finished pro-
duet.

the slightest talk of cessation Of the

been signed, and peace is assured to
/ the world, it appears that every avenue
leading from the production. of cotton
feels that we have got to fall back to
prc-war basis "ovcr-night''. This is an
entirely wrong view, and it is only
necessary for 4 few weeks moro 10
pass before the ray Of sunshine will
lrCak through this awful cloud Of
pCSsimiSm which all lines of trade have
permitted spread over American
business.

SNou'd the exports and American
CONSUMPTION for tho rcyt sis months
be no moro than for the past six
months. it would be necessary to sup
nly them with about 100000 bales Of
cotton. There is cvcry reason to feel
that the exports Will be considerably
moro for The next six months.
II is perfectly reasonable 10 assume
that the above balance of about G.OO0,-
coo bales available is largely if NOT
EVERY bale Of it. in the hands Of the
producer, and spot spcculator. The
| hOvc stock Of the American mills
would probably run them three months.
but 1t is out Of the question for them
TO argue they can stay out OF the mar
kct this length Of time, as they cannot
fiji their warehouses with cotton over
night. 1t takes time to distribute cot
ton, as it takes time to order car
load Of coal and get it delivered. 1t
is only necessary for the farmers, or
spot holders to set their price and
wait a short while Senator e. ID.
S,,it
while back that there really exists q
cotton famnc--thc above figures seem
TO bear out Just such condition, and
il is we'll that the farmer realize the
condition OF the cotton situation before
he dumps his cotton on the market at
these bankrupt prices.
America, as we all know, is the
largest cotton producing country in
the world. Next to us comes India
India in normal times can produce A.
100000 bales. Last year her crop was
about 100000 bales. India's crop IS
now growing and being cultivated was
planted last October or about, with an
acreage 20 per cent less than the pre-
vious crop, SO that this fact alone
spells another crop failure for India.
India consumes practically all OF her
own cotton produced.
When the World War broke out in
August, l9l4,-thc big crop ycar--thc
farmers were told that the cause Of
such low prices for cotton was due to
lack of cXports-no ShipS-too big
surplus made. Now. when the war
ends, with no surplus Of cotton, ship
ping fast getting back into commercial
activity agan-priccs drop. TO my
mind, this kind Of logic does not work
and 1t appears that this is the time that
the spot holder has the longest end of
the rope, and should he be holding his |
cotton in July, he is bound to reap a
handsome profit. 1t is the man who is |
not afraid to take a shot and risk lit
tie who makes the money.
Europe is fast getting back on a |
peace basis, all Of the big munition |
workers being released, the soldiers

HATLEY BOYS SHOW TROPHIES
OF WAR TO HIGH SCHOOL

A bagful of war souvenirs includ-
ing hand grenades, machine gun
shells, shrapnel fragments. a French
rs she'll, French. British and German
coins and provincial paper money,
were exhibited Tuesday at the Lyn-
den High School by Frank and Fred
Hatley of the 65th Artillery.
The boys told of their experiences
in the eleven months they spent in
France, in which they experienced
gas attacks and had lots of hard work
under fire.
Frank Hatloy declared that when
their trench-Stetsons needed reblock-
ing, they had to take them to a
blacksmith shop. With their gas
masks on, the boys presented a wierd
appearance.
On their return to the United
States. they spent ten days at Camp
Camp Dix. After visiting numerous
places of historic interest in Philad-
elphia, they started west through an
uninterrupted series of ovations, re-
ceptions, banquets and cheering
crowds assembled to welcome back
the Yanks.
The Hatley boys will enter High
School again next fall.

BABY SILVER THAW
DOES SLIGHT DAMAGE
Scares Populacc For Time, But VAN
ishes Soon; Telephone Lines Go
Down In Many Places

A baby silver thaw that brought
many dollars worth of damage
in the Lynden district iced telephone
and light wires Friday and Saturday.
Rising temperature Sunday saved the
community from a repetition of last
years disastrous thaw.
In order to protect Its lines into
Lynden from breaking. the Puget
Sound Traction. Light and Power
Company shut off the lights Saturday
night at nine that they might keep
a high-powered current through the
main wires to prevent the formation
of ice. The lights were off until Sun
day morning at nine, causing consid-
erable worry but little damage to
poultrymen who had matches in ell
eetric incubators.
A few lines in all sections of the
Farmers Mutual Telephone Company
broke. but the poles held strongly.
The financial loss is very small. but
the inconvenience in some sections
is great.

NEW MARKS REACHED
ATLOCAL STOCK SALE
Cow Sold For S675 And Day-Old-
Calf For $3.50 At Meenderinck
Auction At Fair Gorunds

Six hundred and seventy-five dol
lars for a thoroughbred Jersey COW,
and $3.50 for a day-old calf were the
records set tn Lynden this week for
high prices for stock. The figures
were reached at the sale of p. Meen-
derinck's herd of thoroughbred Jer-
seys Wednesday at the Fair Grounds.
The total for the herd reached well
over five thousand dollars. Nj. Van
der Griend was the auctioneer.
The Gale was advertised over the
State, and buyers came from all sect
ions. The herd was one of the finest
Jersey groups in the Northwest, and
the sale attracted widespread attent-
ion
This is the first sale of stock that
has been held at the Fair Grounds,
but the advantages .hct this iocat-
ion offers promises to make it cen
ter for many auctions in the future.
1t is possible to display the stock to
good advantage, and in case of rain,
to hold the sale under cover. The
central location of the Fair Grounds
is also a good recommendation for
the site.

PROPOSED LAW WOULD
HIT LOCAL DAIRYMEN
Measure Now Under Consideration
BY Legislature Would Force Test.
ing or All Cows For tuberculosis

4 bill that threatens seriously the
entire dairy industry of the State
and which will undoubtedly pass un
less the farmers of the LINDEN dist
trict and other centres take immed
late action, is now before the State
Legislature.
The measure is known as the new
Dairy Code. 1t would require every
farmer to go to the expense at once
of having his cows tuberculin tested
if he failed to do so, he would not
be permitted to sell the milk. OF the
900 cows in Whatcom County, ii
is estimated that not more than l ,000
have been tested for tuberculosis.
Another feature that works a hard
ship is a requirement that all cream
cries use pasteurized cream only for
the manufacture of butter. To such
an institution as the Lynden Cream
cry. this would mean not only an in
creased cost of one-half cent pound
Tor paSteurlZatlOn, Dut II would also
mean an extra loss of thee hundred
dollars monthly, as it is impossible
to dispose of buttermilk from past
eurized butter
Nels Jacobson and Charles Sven
son of Lynden were members of a
party of dairymen who went before
the agricultural committee of the leg
islature at Olympia last month to
protest against the bill. They declare
that unless the Lynden farmers wake
up and get busy at once writing let
ters of protest to the legislators and
holding mass meetings, that the case
of the dairymen is lost.

to the United States last week with

telegram received this week.
For nearly three months after the
armistice was signed, Mr.. and Mrs.

and they We're considerably worried.
Finally, they received q letter say

resented there solely by H. NJ. S.
Glory. The crew aboard the Russian
cruiser was having a merry time. The
Russ sailors had thrown overheard
| all their officers, including the cap
tain and admiral who had drowned,
and had taken possession of the ship.
They had not made any attempt to
attack the Glory but the British and
American naval officers determined
to take no chances and when the
French cruiser, Admiral Aube, ap-
peared on the scene, a boarding party
of so men from each ship was org
anized and sent alongside the Ask
old in tugs. 1t was a surprise at
tack and was successful with but one
Russian casualty.
The White sea and northern Rus
sia service was a cold, wet, dark and
monotonous job. In the middle of
June. these boys were in the land of
the midnight sun, but from Novem-
Der 90 to January 25 they did not see
the sun at all. 1t was not until they
were off the coast of Scotland on the
way to London that they saw day
light.
Stierlen is at present on a short
leave which he will spend in London
and vicinity.

LYNDEN BOYS DESCRIBES HOW
WAR CHANGED FIGHTING MEN

How the war has changed the men
who participated in it, is described
in a letter received few days ago
by Mr.. and Mrs. G. n. Heaton or
LINDEN from their son, Harry, who
saw service with the English army.
This war sure has changed or
made the mems minds he writes.
Lots see nothing at all in Christian
ity now. Others are convinced we
won only by Gods help. Some quote
Napoleon, Give me all the guns l
want. and your religion is no GOOD.
Il can't see it that way. l have
seen Heine machine guns placed eV-
erv 20 feet for over 5000 yards ana
if YOU were there you would say II
was impossible for man to to try
TO take them. Yet it was done with
a surprisingly small amount of cas-
ualties, considering his advantage.
Il have laid in shell hole and
watched the cavalry go through us
with Heine's machine guns roaring,
and only an occasional man fell.
Il have seen large shells burst
close to men and only few get hit.
The shells that came closest to me
were duds. Some of the lads call
il luck. Well, it is in way-but 1t
also is Gods control. l have heard
men say, Well. pal, you won't need
stretcher to carry me out. lhey
never came out either. Why? Because
they did not do their best to AVOID
il. Lots of religious men were killed
because that was the sacrifice nee
essary.
! There was also one other thlng
I noticed-the loud-mouthed, cursing
man. cursing on the line, never makes
more than two trips. have seen
cursing men who never swore a word
or cursed anybody in the line, and
they came out all right.
/ | don't mean to draw conclusions
from what l have seen for someone
else. but | have seen enough to con-
vince me that we were right"
