HUNT FOR THIRD
 MAN IN CASB0AT BURNING TRAGEDY
Marshal's Deputies Seeking Trace of E. s. Jack or
 Proof of His Death.

With the preliminary hearings ol the first degree murder charge against E. c. Lilly for the death of Billy Woodwork set for next Thurs day morning, the United States Mar shars office is now prosecuting a searching investigation of the story or stories told by the accused man. A deputy of the local office is now going over the ground covered by the i'll fated Sea Breeze. collecting data on it's trip and information re- gardng the status of the party and the relations of its members.
 Lilly's insistence that Woodworth was the only one aboard the boat to die in the fire which destroyed the Sea Breeze is leading to an eX- tensive search for E. s. Jack, the third man who started out on the cruise. Capt Harrington of the gas boat Lummi Bay, which discovered the burning boat, and picked up Lilly, claims that the latter told him that Jack left the party at Port Alexander. In a statement made to Chief Deputy Marshall Casey and other Federal officials, Lilly stated that Jack deserted the Sea Breeze on the morning of the day of the catastrophe getting aboard trolling boat which was enroute to Port Alexander
 This and other apparent discrenan- cies in his two statements are bcirg closely investigated. Telegrams ha1 been sent in an effort to uncover his previous history in which it is reported is contained a record cf| previous terms in a penitentiary. These as yet have been unanswered.

POULTRY CULLING

There either has been or will be a
demonstration of poultry culling some
where in your neighborhood. Have
you tho't much about it? Several
farmers have no doubt kept milk cows
and fed hogs that cost them money.
They Immediately decided that that
was poor business. But still they
carried feed to the poultry and also
let them run to the cribs and gran
ary. This costs money and unless
the hens are laying and paying for
their board there will be another leak
in the business. 1t is pretty safe
gamble to say that 500 of the hens in
the majority of the farm flocks are
mercy boarders.
This is a busy time of season and
some of us find it hard or impossible
to leave the work. However, it may
be halliday well spent and one Of
good pay if we could see ourselves
clear to attend a culling demonstra-
tion and get an idea Of how to Gull
out the boarding hens in the flock.
Watch the papers for the schedule
of meetings during the week. then
get the flivver in condition and spend
half day with us.

THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE

OF all the plaques that have afflic-
ted the world none is more deadly
than the "Great White Plague" No
disease is more insidious. 1t strikes
silently and often has been long at
work before it is discovered. A large
per cent of the cases are those of per-
sons who do not know they have it.
The commonest early symptoms
are persistent cough, cold, continued
hoarseness, loss of weight. rundown,
tired feeling, persistent pain in the
chest, night sweats and spiting of
blood.
A good way to beat the enemy is
to consult a physician when you have
any of the symptoms. No patient
will have all of the symptoms in the
early stages of the disease and only
by early discovery is cure certain.
If you have any of the above symp-
toms or have been exposed to tuber-
culosis lately or when child, the
Physicians of Harrison County will
give you free examination and ad-
vice at the Clinic, Monday, August
End, at the High School building.
