Mr.. J. H. Wicker takes the right
view of the matter as to the ice plant.
1t is true that this plant did not raise
the price of ice during the war and
if you feel that the driver is short
weighing you why just call him and
make him give you the correct weight.
So far as we are concerned we find
the drivers very polite and nice and
if they short weigh US we do not
know, because we have never weighed
behind any one from whom we
bought. May be it should be done,
and. certainly you have right do do
so. There are many other things to
which the civic association calls atten-
ton. The thing is keep up the agita-
ton.

away has left a tingc of sadness
that cannot be removed. Though we
bow down in sadness now on account
of absent friends, we will forever
cherish their memory and hope that
their ramcs will be indelibly enshrin-
ed IN our hearts.
We owe a debt of gratitude to our
godly parents for valiant service IN
the past, for it was their will power
that sustained us on many an occa-
sion. How proud their names ought
to shine on memory's tablet, whatever.
may be their occupation il life, for
they were shining lights, such brilliant
stars to illuminate our pathway
through life. May they, at the last
day, be like the golden sheaves ready
for the harvest and be garnered away
for the kingdom on high for faithful
performance of duty while on this
earth.
The Christian who has stood the
burden of his existence hi. ?shrdlcv
burden of the day had the birthday OF
his existence with JOY. He can rea-
lize that his earthly existence here has
a tendency to do good, and he can
point with pride to the turmolls OF
this world that have been replaced
by the power of good will and peace.
Their birthdays are worthy OF re-
memb,ance, for like chain il loves
embrace they endeavor to bring US
closer together.-to be united in one
gallant band-for the promulgatlon
of all that is good and true.
Let US hail our birthdays with JOY.
AS we live let US lisp the name OF HIM
in alteration for our existence. 1t IS
He who has prolonged our lives SO
we can observe our birthdays with
our friends with so much hilarity
around the festive board, and hail
with the delight the observance OF the
day. While we are in our happy
mood let US remember there is day
coming when these birthdays will
have an end. We will silenly pass
away from the scenes of this eartn
when our time comes, and soar a!oft
to those regions on high where there
will be grand reunion of all those
who were followers of our SAVIOR
while on this earth.
Then there is another birthday
coming that is known throughout
Christendom. He is called the Bright
and Morning Star. 1t is for all OF
us to observe that day for it teaches
US an important lesson in life. The
birth of our Saviour was heralded
long ago, and the shepherds who
watched their hocks on the mountain
side and the wise men of the East who
followed the star pointed out to us IN
all humility that Saviour was born
on that day.
Let US observe cur birthdays with
due reverence for the occasion. Re
member that our lives are just span
here, and as the feeting years pass
by We will soon be numbered with the
past Let US all persevere that we
may all live better in the future, and

WOULD CHANGE LAW TO PERMIT
INCREASE IN TOWNSHIP TAXES

A committee of the Township Of
ficers' Association has been appoint
ed to draft bill to present to the
Legislature to have the townships
authorized to vote taxes up to limit
of 20 mills, instead of being held
down by the 7-mill limit now in force.
The townships are not limited IN
expenditures, but thcy are forced to
issue bonds for any unusual expen-
diture, an expensive procedure. An
increase in the levy, it is pointed out,
would be in the interests Of true econ
omy.
The township officers are backing
a movement to make the county re-
sponsible for all wooden bridges more
than twenty feet in length and for all
concrete bridges more than ten feet
in length.
A measure proposed by Spokane
county to hold the election of town
ship officers in January instead OF
March, was endorsed at meeting OF
Officers Monday.

CAR OF LINDEN EGGS
SCRAMBLED IN DITCH
First Local Shipment Emergss as
Omelet From Minot Wreck; Poul.
trymen Won't Lose

The first carload of eggs shipped
from Lynden was scrambled last
week when it went into the ditch at
Minot, North Dakota. Lynden ship
pers, however, will not lose penny
by the mishap, as the railroad will
make good the cost of the omelet.
Only a small portion of the eggs
were broken in the tumble. and the
been sold on the New York market,
according to word received here to-
day.
All cars shipped by the Washington
Cooperative Egg and Poultry AS
sociation are amply protected against
damage in transit, so that the indy
idual poultrymen have nothing to
lose. When the news CT the wreck
was received at Lynlen, the office of
the association was flooded with anx
ious inquiries concerning the extent
of the damage.
A carload OF 576 cases of Lynden
eggs was shipped out Tuesday to
New York city. A special Milwaukee
train made the trip to Lynden to
get it.
AT the Lynden station last week,
S34 cases of eggs were received. At
Bellingham. 1877 cases were brought
in. which with Lynden's total repres-
ents four carloads from Whatcom
County for the week.

OUTPUT OF LYNDEN
CREAMERY DOUBLED
Twice Amount Butter Churned I'm
December as in Same Month Last
Year

That from the standpoint of out
put. the Lynden Creamery conducted
by the Whatcom County Dairymen' s
Association has doubled in size in a
year. is indicated in reports of the
butter produced during the month of
December.
The Lynden creamery churned
IL 696 pounds of butter in Decem-
bei, more than twice the amount for
December, 1919. The total produced
a year ago was 81. .O92 pounds.
In spite of the increase in quantity,
the quality of the butter is being held
up to high point, and Lynden butter
is. still holding its own as among the
best produced in the State.
Machinery has beer installed in
the powdered milk plant. and with
the arrival of the boilers now on the
road from the East, the skim milk

CHINESE EGG LAW
APPROVED BY COURT
Means Big Boost for Poultry Indust-
ry; Lynden People Helped Win
Legal Fight

The poultrymen of the state are
preme court of the State this week
that the Chinese egg law is valid.
Lynden poultrymen, members of the
Washington Cooperative Egg and
Poultry Association. contributed 81
each to the legal fight, and they are
feeling especially pleased at their
share in the victory.
Restaurants and bakeries must dis
play a sign with letters at-ieast four
inches in height stating that foreign
eggs are used there. Vendors must
place a sign on cold-storage eggs. and
on foreign eggs must state the coun
try from which the eggs came.
The law as it stood was upheld by
the State Supreme Court as consti-
tutional. The decision reverses the
ruling in the Thurston County Super
ior Court which granted an injunc-
tion to Parrot & Co., to prevent
state officials from enforcing the law.
The law will become operative in
about thirty days. Many of the rest
aurants have stated that they will dis
continue the use of the Chinese eggs
rather than place the signs in their
windows.
The court sustains the Department
of Agriculture in enforcing this law
in every way. The Oregon and Cal
ifornia laws had been decided un-
constitutional, because they discrim-
mated against eggs from certain ma
tions. The Washington case was
argued from health standpoint, and
it was stated that the name of the
country would show how old the eggs
were which were being used.
Witnesses described the feeding of
Chinese birds on garbage and offal,
stated there Is no sewerage in China
except in the foreign ports. and called
attention to the high temperature
which spoils the eggs before they can
be placed in cold storage. The law
can be enforced on all kinds of for
eign eggs. including powdered. and
frozen.
In commenting on the decision, the
Daily Produce News of Seattle says:
"This will be a great boost to the
Washington poultrymen, who are al
ready shipping many carloads of eggs
to the East this season, and do not
feel the need of importing cheaper
ones. The cold-storage branding for
dealers will help keep up the quality
and enhance the attractiveness to the
consumer of fresh Washington eggs
on the market"

Ever since the invention
of the airplane and the loss
of live that has followed its
use, the necessity for a life
saving device which would
enable a pilot or passenger
to leave the airship in mid
air and descend safely to the
ground has been recognized.
1t remained for a Min
nesotan, L. B. jain, by
name, Of Montediveo to in
vent and manufacture such
a device. It is known as the
Jain Aerial Life-Saving Ap.
paratus. It is arranged in
compact form and strapped
to the back Of passengers
or pilot. The wire comes
over the right shoulder with
in easy reach of the hand.
The pulling of this wire re-
leases a spring which spreads
the parachute to the. air. In
case Of accident or fire, or
the loss of control of the
airplane, the pilot simply
pulls the wire which releases
the parachute and it pulls
him out of his seat, carries,
him slowly = to the ground
while the airplane may crash
to the ground in a hopeless
wreck. i.. s.,:T: K
