The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1910-09-29


the improvements we ale soi"s
make next year. a,
Last spring many, many 'n'''N
trace were planted on Lynden streets
It was good work, but 1t can NC NC.
taraa The main streets Of Lyndeh are
now lined with NAPLES. MOI i'
streots need be lined with the same
trees. Cherries make splehulo snae
tree and so also do English waihu's'
Both bear fruit, and neither is liable u
be bothered by pests unless 'ou
count the small boy a pest.
wouldn't a street lined ON po'ii
sides by wide spreading cherry trees
be a beautiful, wonderful, entieing sigh
on the 18th of every June? Inc
planter of the trees might never eath-
err the fruit, but he would be doing
unto the least of these. A cherrs
tree or a walnut takes no more ITCH
mess out of our street soil than "a
maple. !
There are other things to be think
ing of. Cows and other stock nave
been shut off the streets. Our water
system is in. Next year all Lyndeh
should be a flower garden. Oh yes.
there is value to flowers. Flowers
sneak to souls. Men, women ano
children, who see many beautiful flow
ers and smell the sweet odors are
happier. Being happier they are
kinder, they are nearer the Kingdom
of Heaven. Every yard and parking
should have roses, lilies, hyacinths,
tulips and other bright colored blooms
BY the way, the time to be think
ing about bulbs is especially appro-
pirate. Do you know how to plant
and care for them? Have you Sc
cured your bulbs?
Let's make Lynden the Beautiful
more beautiful.
Are you coming tomorrow ana
Saturday to our Produce SNOW! l
hope you are. l hope 70 are eoihs
to have something ON exhibition. Il
you haven't planned for it, do SO YET
As | told you last year this Ism d
Iynden show it is a Nooksack vail
ev show. Lynden doesn't make any
thing out of it, and doesn't want TO-
avcent as the whole valley pfoii's'
We give, that there may be piiAes
We offer our streets for the snow pe-
cause Lynden is the most central ~
cation of this the greatest ana fich-
est valley in the Northwest.
We know now that it is going u
be a great show this year greater
than last year. Hundreds nave
promised to bring stock, grain Veee-
tables and fruit for exhibition. otnei
numbers have promised to come ahe
see it. We want you to come.
We of the Nooksack Valley know
we can raise better and more produce
than any community We know of IN
the world. But, the world don
know it. If they ever do know IL, II
must be by our efforts-our combined
efforts. These produce shows are a
good start in an effort to educate the
world. $40,
When a man is sick and laid up and
when everything seems to be goihs
against him and people appear an
xio,ls to take advantage of his con
dition there are occasional rays
sunlight that makes the whole wofi'
look different. One this week was
note from a former Lynden resident
Mrs. Maltby. She had missed her ias'
weeks Tribune and she wanted IT.
and then she went on to say several
kind things about the paper and town
Il Is fact, you know, kind WORD
now ara then, beats catnip tea at
making people forget their ills.
Bellingham is discussing the build
ing of a municipal light system. 1t
is too bad that Lynden people can
not see the value of owning their own
lighting system. The Tribune does
not feel like urging it any more, but
someday we will all understand why
we are making a mistake.
What have you done to make some
one else happier this week? Sure?
Are you absolutely sure it wasn't your
own profit you We're thinking of?
The right kind of smile is worth
a dollar and yet some people would
die of starvation if they had to earn
their living by smiling.
Maybe you love your neighbor as
yourself but does he know it?
