LYNDEN LEAGUERS
WIN 1O-INNING GAME
Defeat EversOn IL to ii In Close
Contest; Will Play Ferndale Next
Sunday
Sunday

In 10-inning game featured by
heavy hitting and poor fielding, Lyn-
den defeated Everson in the second
game of the Nooksack Valley League,
II to IA, last Sunday at Everson.
A large crowd of Lynden rooters
were very much in evidence during
the exciting moments.
Brewer started pitching for Lyn-
den and for three innings held his
opponents helpless, but in the fourth
they started a batting rally which
in the fifth and 5 in the sixth. Bill
Meurer then went on the mound and
held them down to hits and l run
for the balance of the game. For
Everson, Robinson started the game,
but retired in favor of S. Flotre in the
fourth inning after Lynden had
pounded him for six hits and seven
runs. The pitchers, however, were
not entirely responsible for the large
score for their support was far from
first class.
Carl Reid for Everson was the
leading slugger of the day getting
3 hits in trips to the plate, two
singles and a clean home run over
center field. Baldwin and Kellner
each got three-base hits, while Theel
got two-base hits.
Lynden came from behind in the
ninth inning and tied the score at IA
all, but Everson came very near win
ming in her half and would have but
for the hard catch made by Kellner
in left field Of long fly by Reed.
This gave Lynden another chance
and in their half of the tenth scored
runs on hits and a sacrifice hit.
Meurer shut Everson out in l, 2, 3
order in their half of the tenth.
The box score and summary of the
game follows:

ENDLESS CHAIN PEST
APPEARS IN LYNDEN
Round of Letters with Out.Of.Date
Prayer Clog Local Mails; Forbid
den by Government

In spite of the fact that the gov
ernment postoffice authorities have
expressly forbidden the practice of
sending endless chain letters, and
further. Notwithstanding the item
that the war has been over nearly
two and a half years, number of
Lynden people are now busy sending
out Endless Chain missives praying
for the welfare of the soldiers and
sailors.
The postoffice department objects
to the endless chain letters because
they clog the mails with useless mat
ter and are a never-ending nuisance.
1t has been hard to break up the
practise, however, as so many people
are unfamiliar with this form of
pest, and follow the instructions in
the letter without giving it much
thought.
The following is the text of the
letters that are circulating in Lyn-
den now:
1.-The Endless Chain of Prayer"
"God bless our sailors and soldiers
and hold them in the hollow of Thy
hand.
"This was received by me May
"a, 1921. 1t is said it has been all
around the world.
Copy it and send it to seven mar
ried women and on the seventh day
you will meet with great joy. 1t is
said all who pass it by will meet with
misfortune. Start on the day you
receive it. Please do not break the
chain. This was started on the Field
of Flanders"

TO DISCUSS FINANCES
OF SCHOOLS TUESDAY
Mass Meeting of TaX-Paycrs Called
To Study Serious Deficit in Treas
ury of Institutions

To discuss the serious condition of
the finances of the Lynden school
district. mass meeting of parents
and taxpayers has been called for
next Tuesday evening at O'Clock at
the high school auditorium.
The estimated deficit at the be-
gining of the next school year will
be about 900, and to meet this.
the board has called special cleo
tion for Saturday, June 4, at which
time the question of voting an extra
seven mill levy will be put up to the
people.
The smallness of the district, and
the increased costs of operation and
salaries during the war period, caus-
ed the deficit in the school treasury.
Last year, an extra levy of 10 mills
was necessary, but this year, the
board believes that with Z mills,
they can pay the running expenses
of the schools, and reduce the back
Indebtedness considerably
The whole question of school fl
nances will be aired Tuesday night,
as the Board is anxious that the tax
payers understand the seriousness of
the situataion. X. B. LIE Coco, clerk
of the board has spent several days
compiling figures and making inves-
legations for a financial report that
he will present to the meeting.
Already this year the board has
made considerable savings by low
ering salaries, reducing transporta-
tion costs, ETC., to a total of $500
over last years expenditures, and
it is believed that further economies
can be made during the coming year.
A plan to charge tuition for all
students from outside districts at
tending the high school, or to estab-
lish Union High School District.
will be discussed at the meeting 1t
is felt that it is impossible for the
Lynden district to educate all out
side students as in the past. Belling-
ham now charges $500 pupil, and
this District would have to charge
considerably more to meet the costs
here. If adjoining districts such as
Greenwood, Riverside, Northwood,
North Prairie, Sunshine, Glendale
and Delta, would join with Lynden
in a union high school district.
light levy over such enlarged district
would amply maintain this high
school. This would not mean con-
solidation of grade schools; each dis
trict would retain control and main
tain its own grade school-the dis
tricts would unite only for high
school purposes.
The meeting Tuesday night will be
under the direction of the Parent
Teachers Association.
