TEST LOCAL COWS
FOR NEW LOW PRICE
Organization Begins Work OH Re-
duced Scales; More Herds Are
Needed

Whatcom County's new COW
testing organization, operating
on a more economical plan than
any yet organized in this state,
is now under way, with the Offic-
ial tester appointed and ready for
work.
The following announcements
concerning the Association work
were sent out this week by H.
B. Carroll, jr., county agent:
The Whatcom County Cow
Testing Association was organ
lied November 2S with 120 men,
bers and 14O0 cows. The follow
ing men were elected officers to
manage the Association for 1928;
Claude Graham, Ferndale, Pres
ident; J. A. Weide, Everson X. 4 =,
Secretary-Treasurer; Trustees, C.
M. Wander Griend, Lynden; By
ron Porter, Custer; E. J. Shines,
r. 4. Bellingham.
The directors are pleased to
state that they have secured Mr..
Guy Anderson, Of La Center,
Washington. to act as tester. Mr..
Anderson at the present time is
employed by the Oregon Agricul-
tural College and is doing official
testing in Oregon. He Is a grad
uate of the State College of
Washington and specialized in
dairy work. He is thoroughly
qualified and will be of great as
sistance to the dairymen in work
ing out their feeding rations.
The Directors expect to get the
testing started about January 2
and wish to complete the 1900
that they started out to get. The
rate is still $1.25 per COW for the
year. Anyone wishing to join
may do so by sending their name,
address and number of cows to
Mr.. J. A. Weide, Secretary-Treas-
urer, r. 4, Everson, and he will
notify the tester.
The Board of Directors feel
that through this Testing Asso-
citation they are giving the dairy
men of the County who have
Joined, an opportunity to accom-
plish some real results. The
State College of Washington is
squarely behind this Testing AS
sociation and will work hand in
hand with the tester and the
membership.
With the shortage of feeds
grown on the farms this year and
the steadily increasing price on
purchased grain and hay, it will
pay any man to join this Asso-
citation to learn how to keep
down the cost of production by
using his feeds to the best ad-
vantage. Balanced rations pay"

Northcaster Starts Again

Lynden has been covered with
the heaviest snow in several years
all this week. with all the at

times, however. the mail has
been brought in by the automo-
bile stages without more than an
hour or two delay.
The thermometer dropped to
eight or nine Tuesday, and since
that time it has been ten degrees
and more higher. The chilly

day. Monday and Tuesday. Some
idea of the number of lunches
served can be obtained when it
is known that on Monday alone
thirty pounds of cheese, thirty
six loaves of bread, ten pounds
of butter, and fourteen dozen
doughnuts We're used. 1t took
four gallons of cream and eight
pounds of sugar to trim the
coffee used that day.
On Monday, it was necessary
to haul the milk and cream from
Ferndale and Acme through Bel
lingham. and four extra trucks
were employed for this. One of
these trucks driven by Peter
Sondergard left the Association
plant at seven-thirty Monday ev-
ening with one hundred and six
ty empty cans, with a fortymile
trip ahead to finish the days
work.
On Tuesday the roads were Op-

And on Wednesday night, the
wind drifted the snow over the
roads again, making the situa-
ton just what it was in the first
act.

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY


Dave Yandell, pioneer in the dark
and bloody ground" of Pre-Revolu-
tionary Kentucky. is mounting guard
at a settlers stockade when White
Arrow. a boy of fifteen, flees to the
stockade for protection from his In
dian companions.
1t was discovered that White Ar
row is a white boy who. when an in
FAINT, was taken captive with his moth
sr. His Indian captives told him that
he had been adopted by the Shawnee
chief as his son.
The Indians attack the fort but
are driven off. In the battle Win e
Arrow Stays the Indian who ma
treated him and caused his fiIghJ.
One Of the Virginian rescuers Is
moltally wounded He gives a start
Of surprise on seeing White Arrow.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Never mind now, said old Joel
soofhingly. you must keep stlllr'
TIE boys eyes had begun TO shift
under the scrutiny and he started
awsy.
Come back here" commanded the
wounded man, and still searching the
lad he said sharply again:
who is that boy?" Nor would he
have his wound dressed or even
take the cup Of water handed to him
until Joel briefly told the story,
when he lay back on the ground and
closed his eyes.
Darkness fell. The dying man was
laid on a rude bed within one cabin,
and old Joel lay on the floor close to
the door. The stranger lad refused
to sleep indoors and huddled him
slef in a blanket on the ground in
one corner of the stockade. Mefl,
women and children fell to a deep
and weary sleep.
An hour later the boy in the cor
ner threw aside his blanket, and
when Lydia Noe, feverish and thirs-
ty, rose from her bed to get drink
of water outside her door, she stop
ped short on the threshold. The lad,
stark naked but for his breech-clout
and swinging his bloody scalp over
his head, was stamping around the
fire-dancing the scalp-dance of the
savage to low, fierce, gutteral
song.
The boy saw her, saw her face in
the blaze, stricken white with fright
and borrow, saw her too paralyzed
to move and he stopped, staring at
her a moment with savage rage, and
went on again. Old Joel's body filled
the next doorway. With an oath
and threatening gesture Joel mo-
toned to the corner of the stockade,
and with flare of defiance in his
black eyes the lad stalked slowly
and proudly away.
From behind him the voice of the
wounded man called, and old Joel
turned. There was CHASTITY smile
on the Virginian's pallid face.
Il saw it," he said painfully.
"That's-that's my son.
