LINDEN PEOPLE WHO AIDED IN
SALARY CASE TO GET CASH BACK

That Lynden people who contrib
uted funds to aid in carrying the
county salary case to the supreme
court will get their money back, is
the statement made this week by At
torney Frank Btxby. in charge of the
case. The attorneys will be paid out
|of funds recovered to the county by
winning the suit.
Judgment was entered this week
against four county officials who drew
Excessive salaries under wrong clas-
sification of the county. the county
salary case having been settled by
stipulation. The total refund to the
county will run close to $500. Pros
ecuting Attorney Baldrey, one of the
officials who was forced to refund
part of the salary he drew, yesterday
refunded the entire amount, $1,593.-
50. Former County Assessor Alex
Van Wyck has refunded all but
$193.47 of the amount he had to re-
fund which totaled $796.67. The
balance of the $500 refund comes
from Commissioner E. C. Baxter and
former Commissioner Henry Slater.

FAIR AUTO ROAD FROM LYNDEN
TO MT. BAKER OPEN IN SUMMER

A fair automobile road from Lyn-
den to Shuksan on the last bench be-
fore the sleeper slopes of Mt. Baker
begin, will be open for travel be-
fore the summer is over. The county
advertised for bids
this week for the crawling of the
road between Deming and Maple
Falls. From Lynden to Deming, the
road is paved
A new road was constructed last
summer from a mile this side of Ex-
celsior to the old townsite of Shuk-
san.
1t is expected that this road will be
continued five or six miles further
to Austin Pass, which would serve as
a starting place for explorations and
ascents in the Mt. Baker region.

ANNUAL SHIPMENT OF U. 8.
GARDEN SEED Is ON WAY HERE

The government garden seed is
coming, hooray, hOoray!
/ The following advance notice was
received today from Congressman
Lin Hadley:
"As in the past. 1 am distributing
the seed allotted to the Second Con-
gressional District mainly through
the newspapers in the District. In
order to more nearly insure that the
seed will reach individuals who will
plant it. Shortly after the receipt Of
this letter. you should receive sup
ply of garden seed, and I would ap-
preciate your cooperation as hereto
fore. Congress has materially re-
duced the appropriation for congress
sional seed distribution and, there
fore, the supply I am sending is nee
essarily somewhat less than usual.
Owing to the limited amount of flow
er seed available under the appropri-
alton. it is impracticable to distrib-
ute it through the newspapers, as re-
quests coming directly to this office
will no doubt absorb the limited sup
ply Of flower seed to the credit of the
Second District.
Thanking you in advance for any
assistance you may render in this
matter, am
Yours very truly,
Lin H. Hadley"

Would That Washington
We're As Fortunate

Philadelph an-EDWARD BOK-has done a nota-
BILE act for his home cyone that wealthy District
citizen may eventually do for his beloved Wash
ington
Mr.. Box has placed in the hands of trustees over
100000 Of giltedged securities yielding more than
$4,000 each year, from which will annually be paid
award OF $4,000 in cash to the woman identified
with Philadelphia interests who renders the greatest
service to Philadelphia The founding of the award is in
keeping with the spirit of the Nobel prize but is neither
national nor international in character.
The trustees of the award are prominent Phiadel-
phans, who will make the presentation of the award
each year, beginning in 1922 at public meeting.
The winner of the prize need not be scientist pro-
fessional man statesman He may be humble work
ing man or woman The only requirement is that he shall
have rendered signal service of farreachng effect to
the public of Philadelphia Service to the public, not to
selfish interests is the keynote sounded by the donor
In the event that service stands out conspcuously
the $4,000 will be devoted to free scholarships in col
eges and universities for ten boys and girls in Phlade
phia schools
Such fund in Washington would be great in
centve toward deeds of public service here and Phila
depha is fortunate that of her wealthy citizens has
centralized thought there upon the doing of worthy deeds

We Fail as q
Nation, IT,

country at an example OF what
IA education CAN do for nation.
Japan two generations ago was
hermit kingdom-her gates closed
against foreigners or foreign, trade;
her citizens forbidden to leave
Japan; her government medieval;
her children, except few OF the
ruling classes, uneducated.
Then our own Commander Perry
"persuaded" Japan to open her
doors to American travellers, trade
and ideas.
/ Japan then turned over a new
leaf!
Twenty years later the new Japa-
nese imperial code contained this
declaration:
"Cultiuation of intelligence,
the Improvement of intellect
and proficiency in the arts
cannot be attained except
through education"
Another imperial rescript on edu-
cation said:
ga "Pursue learning and culti-
uate the arts and thereby de-
I uelop intellectual faculties and
perfect moral poDsrs."
Finally a state councillors oath,
adopted by Japan and declared
among other tenets to be rigidly en-
forced:
acknowledge shall be sought
for throughout the sOorld, to the
end that the Welfare of the
empire may be promoted"
These principles, not merely pro-
fessed but practiced by Japan, have
raised that nation, after four thou
sand years. history in which she
was far inferior to China, in two
short generations to one of the great
Powers of the world, and the great
est in the oldest hemisphere.
Japan adopted the purely Ameri-
cen idea of compulsory, free, uni
ii education. In 1919 she had in
,ols 9,017,619 children; out of
sonool,' 1910.
Less than 3 per cent of her people
are unable to read and write.
In our splendid American Expedi-
honary Army nearly TEN per cent
could not read or write.
If more passionate hunger for
education is not cultivated in this
country and IF OUR GOVERN
lMENT DOES NOT FEED THAT
HUNGER, we shall in time go down
as a nation before other nations that
have adopted OUR ideas about uni
versal free education, but have i'm
proved on their teacher.
Germany has done so! Japan is
doing so!

HOW to Keep
Our SecuritY

eQ III Iuu In Inc LINES recently,
= Mr.. Hearst said concerning sub
marines:
England, wishing their num-
Der and size diminished, seeks to
prevent any nation from having
any weapon that can successfully
repel her naval fleet
Mr.. Hearst here puts his finger
on the most subtle and the most
dangerous of all the tricks that Mr..
Balfour has in his sleeve.
Abolish the sea-going submarine,
after making an agreement that we
will neither build not permit any
other nation to build a navy stronger
than the British navy, and England
is at once the supreme mistress Of
the seas and the arbiter of the world.
If to the folly of the agreement
to scrap our capital ships of war,
and to let our navy and our naval
ship-building plants fall into decay
for ten years, we add the additional
folly of abolishing the only sea-
weapon that England fears, then it
will not be five years until Eng
land, with her convertible merchant
fleet, can lay down the law to us
on every sea and in every market
on this globe.
AS long as nations can build and
possess submarines the freedom of
the seas, which is so vital to ma
tional life, can be maintained against
any tyrannical sea power. And
just so long as no tyrannical sea-
power can again set up the in
solent claim of lordship over the
seas, just SO long will peace be the
normal condition and war the alb
normal and infrequent condition.
For purposes Of their own the
British filed the world with their
propaganda tales Of submarine
atrocities during the war, and they
were enabled to make this effective
on account of the criminally stupid
blunder of the Germans in sinking
the passenger-laden Lusitania.
There is no possible excuse for
that crime against humanity and
good sense. But one atrocity COM
mitted by a submarine does not
make all submarine warfare inhu-
man-at least, any more inhuman
than other forms of war.
Where the submarines incidental
ly killed non cOmbatant man, wom-
an or child, the blockade deliberate
ly and with slow, ruthless cruelty
killed thousands of aged and feeble
non-combatants, and reaped its
larger share of human lives by
killing women and babies.
We submit that Mr.. Balfour has
no warrant to protest against the
submarine on the ground that it
kills non-combatants, when the
graves of over a million men, wom-
en- and little children cruelty
starved to death by his govern
ment's order are still green.
A submarine fleet and fortified
bases are. our main means of de-
Tense.
To sacrifice them would be an act
of criminal folly.
We should create an air navy and
an aircraft defense.
We should maintain and enlarge
a submarine navy of the highest
type.
We should fortify naval bases in
the Atlantic and the Pacific and
make them impregnable.
And then, with these auxiliaries,
we should bring our fleets of battle
