MONEY FROM CHRISTMAS SEALS SAVES MANY LIVES Though there has been a grat ifying reduction of deaths from tuberculosis in the registration area of the •United States in the last decade, when the rate was cut from over 200 per 100,000 population in 1911 to approx imately 100 in 1921, a saving of over 80,000 lives last year alone, an enviable record has also been made in Washington, in the same period. In 1911, the rate was 106.1 deaths per 100,000, while in 1921 it was 83.07, a record that puts Washington in the group of states having the lowest rate in the United States. Considering this reduction in the terms of human lives, it means that if the rate of 1911 had pre vailed for the decade, in 1921 there wonld have been 1462 deaths from tuberculosis instead of the 1127 which actually oc cured, a saving of 335 lives in 1921 alone. Shall Washington rest on her present record or shall the cam paign of education and preven tion be pushed into the remotest places in the atate and nation? Is it worth while and will the rate go up or continue to fail? That is the problem and the ans wer lies in the response to the ifp}eal of the Christmas seal wi»K*i Is the financial backbone of county, state, and national campaigns and has made this record possible. Millions of these gay little holiday stickers will be on sale December 1, and every one in Lynden will have a chance to take part In the work by buy ing or selling seals. » o UNITED LUMBER MILLS TO OPEN LYNDEN OFFICE The United Lumber Mills will open an office soon at 308 Front Street, Lynden. o WILL GIVE PIE SOCIAL TO RAISE FUNDS FOR NEW HALL The Delta Grange will give a pie social Friday evening at the Glendale School.

LYNDEN, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1922 CUT TWO MILLS OFF EXTRA SCHOOL LEVY Voters at Election Next Week Will Be Asked for Reduced Sum for District The Lynden school district will vote on an extra five mill levy at the annual election Saturday of next week, a reduction of two mills over the amount approved last year. The reduced amount is asked by the school board, in spite of the fact that the valuation of the district dropped off considerably. Three years ago, a ten mill extra levy was necessary. The policy of the board is to reduce the special millage each year, and to do away with this entirely as soon as the bonds of the district have been paid off. Because so many of the dis tricts have joined union high schools, the Lynden district will receive a smaller appropriation next year from the high school fund of the state. The falling off of general state valuations will also mean a reduction in the total received from the school fund of the state.
