TO TELL WHAT HE SAW
IN EUROPE AFTER WAR
DIR. Frank BOhn, Noted Traveller, VIII
Describe Conditions In Revolution
ary Countries

With Revolutionary Europe" as
the subject of his address. DR.. Frank
Bohn. world traveller and keen stu
dent of government and economics
wherever he goes, will appear at the
high school auditorium Saturday ey-
ening as the final number of the
Lyceum Course.
This promises to be one of the
most interesting addresses of the
year and Lynden people will not want
to miss it. Admission will be 35c
and soc and all those with season
tickets will be admitted free though
when they purchased their tickets,
they expected only four numbers.
The lecture will begin promptly at
Sis.
Because of Dr. Bohn's intimate
knowledge of economic history, he
was commissioned to represent the
New York Evening Post in studies
of the warning countries of Europe,
and he spent some time In Germany
and Austria prior to Americas entry
into the war. His fluent use of the
German language. and his German
lineage, gave him entry into sources
of information denied the average
observer. and enabled him to make
most comprehensive survey of the
economic conditions in those coun-
tries and the attitude of their people
toward the war.
When America came into the con-
flict his peculiar fitness for observ-
ing and combating German propa-
ganda was recognized, and he was
again sent abroad. He spent some
time in Switzerland, reporting for
the New York Times his observations
and conclusions, returning to Amer
lea in the early summer of 1918 to
deliver a series of lectures on the
Mind of Germany"
At the conclusion of his summer
season in 1918, he returned to Eur
ope to make a study of the prob
lens of reconstruction, a work for
which he is particularly adapted. He
is an internationalist in spirit. with
a keen sympathy for the common
people, and a sane and discerning out
look upon life.

COUNCIL VOTES TO
RAISE WATER RATES
Advances Schedule of Charges Be.
cause of Heavy Increased Costs Of
Operation

To provide additional revenue to
meet the constantly increasing costs
of operating the water department,
the City Council Tuesday night passed
an ordinance advancing the charges
TO water users.
An increase of fifty cents a month
was made in the rate for private
homes, the new schedule calling for
$1.s0, or s1.75 with toilets. The
ordinance calls for rate of $1.9O.
but this is subject to discount of
twenty per cent when paid before the
10th of the month.
Sprinkling rates were advanced
from $3.50 to $500 for the sprink-
ling season, or $1.O0 month for
the months of May. June, July, Aug
ust and September.
Other rates were raised in the ord
nance, among them being a charge
Of Is cents a month to those who
keep chickens.
The advances are the first that
have been made in the rates, and
the action was taken as supplies and
labor for the department have jumped
materially in the last two years. Re-
pairs to the system are also necess-
ary, and this will take a consider
able outlay.
The following is the new schedule
of rates:
