DISABLED VETERANS MIST SEEK COMPENSATION NOW With only a few days left for disabled World War veterans of this district to secure certificates of injury, L C_Jesseph, north west district manager of the Unit ed States Veterans' Bureau urges those who may seek government compensation at a later date to make application for these cer tificates before August 9, expira tion date of their issuance. "The law governing activities of the Veterans' Bureau states that claims cannot be filed by ► Cisabled veterans after five years *l\r>m service discharge unless the claimant has a certificate of in jury and these certificates will not' be issued after August 9," said Mr. Jesseph. "This simply means that a veteran discharged from service for instance on Sep tember 1. 1917 could not file a claim for government compensa tion September 15 of this year unless he had the necessary cer tificate. W 7 e are anxious that every veteran in Washington, Oregon and Idaho know of this important ruling." Mr. Jesseph stated that the quickest way of securing this cer tificate is to make application for it by letter to V. S. Veterans' Bureau, Washington. D. C.

LYNDEN, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1922 THE FIGHT IS NOT YET OVER People who Relieve in prohibition should not delude themselves into the idea that the fight is over. A vigorous campaign is now under way to permit the sale of wine and beer. In many sections, the Volstead law 7 has not been enforced at all; in others, "boot-legging" and "booze-run ning" is too common. Prohibition forces in every county of Wash ington should stir themselves this week to make sure that a dependable "dry" man of the highest type has filed for the office of sheriff. The time is short; delay will be fatal. Western Washington is notoriously "wet." King, Thurston. Snohomish, Pierce a.id Whatcom Counties are but little advanced from the days of the "open saloon." Conventions, such as the rec ent Eagle's gathering in Bellingham, mean an old-time drunken orgy. And moonshine, such as Don Stevenson was able to buy openly at Bellingham and Stanwood, before he brained Almour, is causing murder, automobile accidents, and similar unfortunate things resulting from crazed minds. Now is the time to act, W. C. T. U. and Pro hibition Workers!

WET AND DRY FIGHT LIKELY AT PRIMARY Campaign Will Center Around Office of Sheriff; Prohibition Forces Aroused Whatcom County vrill witness an old-fashioned wet and dry fight, centering around the office of sheriff, at the September pri maries. Dissatisfaction with the con dition of the county during the | past month, as far as the hand ling of the liquor question is concerned, has aroused the ' dry" I forces in all sections of the coun j ty. and efforts are now being made to center on a prohibition candidate at the Republican pri maries. Incidentally Republican leaders are beginning to worry just a , trifle at the turn of events, as jin the event that the "dry" elem ent loses at the primary, there will be a swing to the Democrat ic ticket at the general election, carrying with it hundreds of votes to other candidates besides those for the office of sheriff. But a week remains in which candidates can file, so that the next few days will witness activ ity on the part of the drys, fol lowed by a vigorous campaign up to the primaries of September 12. LYNDEN INTERESTED IN DEFEAT OF 'HEBE' Wisconsin Supreme Court Knocks Out Sale of Skim Milk and Vegetable Oils Dairy forces in Lynden are jubilant over the victory against filled milk just won in Wiscon sin. The Supreme Court of that state on July 20th handed down a decision which upheld the con stitutionality of the law passed by the state legislature of 1921. This law prohibited the manufac ture and sale of compounds of skim milk and vegetable oils. "We are confident that the Wis consin decision means a great step toward a completer victory in the passing of a federal act to debar these oiled milks from MMMata aim iuici(... in w w " said Charles W. Holman, execu tive secretary of the National Milk Producers' Federation. Nearly 6000 influential nation al, state and local organizations representing nearly all phases of the community life, have all join ed in asking the congress to pass the Voight bill. That bill prohib its the movement of such com pounds in interstate and foreign commerce. It has passed the house by a vote of 250 to 40 and is now in the hands of a sub committee of the Sena'e commit tee on agriculture. Final hear ings will be resumed August 1 The Wisconsin decision also has an important bearing on the acts passed this year by th'» states of New Jersey and New York; the laws prohibit the manufacture and sale of filled milk. A suit to test the constitution ality of the Wisconsin let was instituted by the Carnation Milk Products Company and the Hebe Company. They asked that the law- be set aside as unconstnu tional and that the state dairy commissioner. J. Q. Emery, be enjoined from enforcing the sta tute. Unless the plaintiffs appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court, the filled milk traffic in Wisconsin is at an end. An effort will be made to get similar action in the state of Washington now. DA llt V SPECIALIST TELLS HOW TO KEEP FLIES OFF r l I Flies swarming around the 'dairy COW tend to lessen milk , r production. In the hot weather [everything should be done to help c the fly annoyance around the d cows. Many sprays of good qual- E ity are on the market which , , work well in keeping the flies "' away from the cows, but they .are somewhat expensive. [. A good fly spray for cows, and one that is used in lowa, is also j recommended by Don Magruder, . |extension dairy specialist of the c i State College. It will keep the o !barns free from these pests and D ! may be made at home by using r!4 V 4 quarts of coal tar dip, 4% djquarts fish oil, 3 quarts whale oil. I quarts of coal oil and 1% quarts of oil of tar. Dissolve 3 pounds of laundry ; I soap in water, add the ingredi '] ants of the spray and bring the pjwhole up to 30 gallons with luke jwarm water. This spray will keep [off flies, and prevent the coats of the animals from becoming ■ ; harsh. Cows should be sprayed I twice a day in the morning after I milking and in the afternoon I I when in the barn for their silage 'land green feed. Thirty gallons of the mixture will spray 40 cows twice a day for ten days at a .'[small cost per cow per day. Return from Outing The Clarence Schroeder and B.
