One regrettable feature of the
day was the splitting of the Lyn-
den Department Store strength
between Prick and Fountain for
Republican committeeman. The
boot expert managed to shoe 8
ballots his way, while the feed
authority was only able to mash
two voters. AS a result, the
election is tied between Prick
and Ralph LIE Coco.

The last word in comfort and
ease for fishermen has been in
vented by John B. Gale. For
generations, fisherman have been
using a forked stick on which to
rest their rod while angling in
the river.
1000
Gale has devised a neat iron
device, with a fork at the top
protected by rubber coat. This
fork may be moved up and down
on the plan of a music stand, so
that the rod may be held at
any height. This is certainly the
maximum of convenience. For
real comfort, however, one should
take a boy along to do the heavy
work of turning the little screw
to adjust the fork.

Lin Brown to move so that De

When Brown returned to Lynden
few years ago, De Long made
him Brown wait for several
days until he Ode Long, moved
and permitted him Brown to
move into his Ode Long's) house.

Half Names Signed Needed To Submit
 Charter Revision

More than half of the number of names required to submit the ques- tion of whether a commission shall be appointed to revise the city charter already have signed to the. petitions to Mayor Atwater, asking him to put the question to a vote according to reports made at last nights meeting .of the Charter Revision committee by district committees. In some of the districts the quota of names has already been reached General speed ing up was urged at last nights meet ing.
 Next week extra workers will be sent out with lists. It was also de- cided to place lists in downtown de- partment stores. banks and other public places. It developed at the meeting, that many who have been approached for their signatures be- heVe that the idea of charter revis- ion is a political move." This is an erroneous impression, Chairman George Flames declared. There is no politics in this movement" he said.
 Tt is not partisan in character and the person who signs one of these petitions does not bind himself or herseif to anything. We are simply ask1ng for vote on the Qustion of appointing commiSSion,'

Sousa Band to Play
 At B. H. $. Auditorium

That musician of many and far journeys, John Philip Sousa, has but recently completed one which he be- gan many years ago: He is now a Noble of the Mystic Shrine, having on May been received into A1nas Tenn pie, Washington, D. C., at session attended by Imperial Potentate Cutts and other celebrities of the order.
 Lieut.. Commander Sousa, after hav- ing been accepted as a Noble, appear ed on the stage in his newly acquired fez and directed the band of Almas Temple through two marches, ''Tha Stars and Stripes Forever and '"Thc Washington Post"
 Many years had passed and Sousa had been in many places since he first started Shrineward on the thres- hold of his first degree in the Blue Lodge. That, too, was in Washington and he decided then and there that so long as he should be acceptable to high degrees, be would take the various steps in his Masonic Journey only in the city of his birth. The evening of May last, offered him the first opportunity to become a Noble in Washington for in the intervening years after he became eligible for the Shrine, he was never in Washington when Almas was putting in new mem berS or Almas was not installing when Sousa was in Washington.
 Local Masons are looking forward with great anticipation to Tuesday evening. Sept. 12, when Sousa and his band will play at the High School Audit tOriuno

More Drastic Legislation
 To Ease Coal Situation g NolU Urged By Cun1nains

whether the President would be any more successful in hiring the men to enter the coal mines that the opera tors have been, because when we give the coal mines and he goes to employ miners, he will either have to agree to their terms or he may not be able to secure them. It must not De for- gotten that~the hard coal mines are shut down tight because the men who were employed in them are a1s most all union men and refused 70 work.
 Whether the Presidents influence. whether the sentiment of the country would make him any more powerful than the operators, I do not know.
 Pennsylvania Cited.
 CumminS pointed out that in Penn- sylvania, where most of the anthra- cite mines are, the state law pro- .vides that only licensed miners may work in the mines, and that substan- tially all of the licensed miners are union men and therefore on strike.

 "I venture no opinion upon that question:" hereplied. '"The truth IS that there are a good many constftu. tional difficulties which appear triv1ai to some and very formidable to otn- CTS about the government taking over the coal mines, aside from the pro blem of its operating them once it takes them over.

 Washington, l1i,. Aug: 2e-Con-
 tion today of the knotty problem
 of how anthracite coal can be
 produced and moved in sufficient
 quantities to prevent widespread
 suffering this winter-with gov
 ernmental seizure looming in the
 background as a measure of last
 resort.
 A serious hard coal shortage was regarded by many senator's as in- evftable even if the anthracite strike Is settled soon, or in case Presi dent Hhrddng decides it is necessary for the government to take over the an- thracite mines.
 Chairman Cummins of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, de- clared that the remedial legiSlatio n thus far proposed does not and will not produce coal as long as the an- thracite miners do not and will not retur'n to work.
 Cummins Sums Up Situation.
 As his committee began conSid era ton of the bill to extend the power of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion to issue priority orders for coal distribution, Cummins was known to entertain the opinion that the measure twill not be heIpfuP' in producing hard coal unless the anthracite miners agree to produce it.
 ''We have to have men at work in the anthracite mines to produce hard coal," CumminS said. When the anthracite miners refuse to work hard coal is not produced: still have a 1in1eering hope &hat the anthracite operatoats will come to an agreement with their employees. I think that If it is believed that the President by taking over the mines can secure men who will produce coal in the a,nthra- cite fields, then we ought to give him power to do it.

Big Issue Up M
 West Hduer1 And
 Orange Politics

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 26-One of the side issues in the coming Re- publican state convention Is expect ed to be the settlement of the r,epde- sentation from the new town of West Haven, under it's charter. For the House of Representatives the two members are to be elected from the mother town of Orange in which the daughter town of West Haven is Joined. The theory has been held that in a joint meeting of the elec- tors of the two towns for purposes of nominating candidates for the House the West Haven men will dic- tate the choice. The Orange men have claimed that whatever is nomin- ated must come from Orange.
 The first indication of the inter- esting phase of the problem came last night at the Republican caucus in West Haven to nominate candidates for delegates to the state convention, next week. The factiona1 differences among the Republicans held over from the last town election, when former Representative John Sher-
 man was defeated for first seleotn1an by the faction known as the Eames- Alhng one.
 The Sherman faction set up its the opposing faction did the same and Senator c. R. Treat of Orange announced that Orange would have it's ticket as he intended to call a caucus for that town. Senator Treat said:
 eve are going to act independently | of West Haven and we are going to
 send a delegation to the state con- | vention. Whether the delegates will
 be seated remains to be seen."
