TO DISCUSS PROPOSED
: SUMMER HOUR PLAN
Comsnunity Club VIII Talk Over A
Plan To Close Hour Earlier Dur
ing Summer

Whether Lynden business houses
should adopt the policy of opening
an hour earlier In the morning and
closing an hour earlier at night dur
ing the. months from April until Oct.
81, will be one of the principal sub
.jects discussed at the meeting of the
Lynden Community Club Monday
evening at the high school auditor
ium.
Under the proposed plan. the clock
would not be set ahead. but the op-
ening and closing hours would simp-
ly be shifted. This would give the
proprietors and clerks an extra hour
of daylight during the long summer
months for recreation or work out
doors.
A large crowd of employees and
store4owners is expected to attend
the Monday session to take part In
the discussions.
Every automobile and garage deal
er is looked for at the meeting to
consider the question Of attempting
to divert tourist traffic to Lynden dur
ing the summer. by establishing an
auto park. and by placing rOadsigns
along the county road-junctions. 1t
has been pointed out that by making
a small outlay, a large part of this
traM might be induced to drive to
Lynden.
:. Road routes, and other subjects
will be. reported on. and lively "

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

II you want plenty Of thick, beAu-

means get rid OF dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it il you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash 1t out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff Is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at
night when~fetiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it In gent
ly with the finger tips.
BY morning; most If not all. Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of 1t.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
and your hair will look and feel
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple rem.
edy never fails.

wards. twelve each in the First and
Fourth and ten in the Fifth.
Section lib of the election law
provides that the number of voting
booths shall not be less than one to
every sixty voters or fraction thereof
who voted at the last election in that
precinct"
The vote has virtually doubled,
however. and it was not known until
few weeks ago that the voting
machines We're not to be used. 1t be-
came almost impossible to obtain
new booths in time and it would
have been unwarranted expenditure
to purchase new booths for the one
election solely because the machines
will be used hereafter and the booths
would be useless after the November
election.
Can Not Increase Boards.
There is mo way under the law to
increase the size of the election
boards. The members OF the boards
can handle the voters no ! more
rapidly than the voters cast their
ballots and the size of the board need
not be larger than the capacity of
the voting system.
Many voters can regulate the hour
of their voting and will not only save
time for themselves but for the voter
who must visit the polls at stated
time. Housewives are requested to
vote between the hours Of and II a.
m. and and 4:S0 p. m. Business
and professional men, too, may be
able to vote, when shop employees and
clerks are unable to visit the polls.
Men and women working during
stated hours will visit the polls early
In the morning, during the noon hour
and following the close OF the days
work. 1t has been the experience
that the late voting is heavy and it
is likely to be still heavier this year.
All voters who can go to the polls
should do so.
Polling Places Too Small.
The board Of supervisors believes
some of the polling places In the city,
especially that in the Third ward, are
too small. II is believed unlikely
that fifteen booths can be set up III
the third ward polling place and the
city probably will be asked to secure
another room. This, the city officials
state. is virtually impossible. Efforts
to secure a large room have failed,
all store buildings In the Third ward
being occupied,
The Fourth ward polling place is
none too large and is not the most
desirable place to ask women voters
to visit. Some complaint has been
made by women about the condition
OF the building.
Both the board of supervisors and
the city council are bending every
effort to make the polling Of the
vote as easy as possible and with
the co-operation of voters they will
succeed.

Women Registration
So Heavy Supply Of
Ballots Runs Short

Because the registration of wom-
en- for the election next Tuesday has
been 80 heavy, the supply of ballots
will have to be increased. In check
ing over the registration with the
ballot supply. County Auditor Ender-
ley finds that he will have to have at
least 500 more-400 for the Second
ward. and 200 for the Third. Further
checking may increase the number of
extra ballots needed.
The law requires that there be
printer seyenty-five ballots for every
fifty votes cast at the preceding gen.
eral election, based on the head Of the
ticket. OF course this law did not
contemplate the increase Of the vot-
ing strength by approximately one
half, So the auditor added to this
amount so per cent to take care of
the woman vote. So heavy has been
the registration Of women, however,
