LYNDEN GIVES $500
TO ARMENIAN FUND
City Bests Records of Other Points
In Subscription To Aid Starving
Peoples of East

Lynden's contribution to the coun-
ty Armenian drive was an even five
hundred dollars. the largest sum
subscribed for these starving peoples
by any city in Whatcom County out
side of Bellingham.
Individual subscriptions were re-
ceived toward the Armenian fund
and the balance of the five hundi ed
dollar total was made up out of the
Lynden War Chest Fund. The War
Chest Fund committee composed OF
E. Edison, P. NJ. Serrurier. w. II.
Jackman, H. ]. Kok and Gerrit Kol
voted to draw on the War Chest bal
ance to help these sufferers of the
East.
With the Armenian Fund donation
paid, there remains in the War Chest
Fund now $595.28. The War Chest
Fund was raised during the war to
take care of the demands made on
the city for war charities. and thous-
ands of dollars were paid out.

were used in Blewett pass and other
governmental controlled areas.
Advocates of the Carlyon referen-
dunn bill argued that the money
would come out of automobile Ii
censes anyway ,and therefore, the
people would likely vote the proposed
bond issue, but the other side pointed
out that it did not make the slightest
difference to the farmer whether the
tax money that was to be expended
upon per cent of the states high
ways came from a tax on his automo-
bile, or a tax upon his live stock,
farm, house. machinery, or any other
property. 1t had to come out Of his
pocket just the same and could be
better expended upon local roads that
are so vitality needed to enable the
pl oiucers to get their crops to mar
