from three other contestants at the
district sontest held last Friday cv-
enine at Anacortes.
Miss McKinnon is only fifteen
years old and the Anacortes contest
was the first she had ever entered.
She is member of the Lynden
schools sophmore class, and won con-
siderable credit earlier in the year
by her work on the debating team.
She was trained for this contest by
Miss Cole. ass4 l
AT Anacortes there were three
other contestants, two boys one from
Mt. Vernon and one from Bellingham
and one other girl, from LaConnor.
The Mt. Vernon boy won ;econd
place. At the state cntest there will
DE thirteen contestants, all winners
Of district contests similar TO the
one at Anacortes. The program will
be divided into two divisions, one to
be given Thursday night and one
Friday night. Miss McKinnon is on
the program for Friday night
Lynden's representative will be
chaperoned by Miss Cole, the high
school teacher under whose training
she has made SO much advancement.
BY invitation, while in Seattle they
will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. n.
French formerly of the Lynden school
aud still Lynden partisans.
I don't know if 1t is too presumpt-
ous or not but the Tribune is going
to hope, and believe that Miss Nc
Kinnon will win the state honors,
hut il she don't We are going TO De
mighty proud of her anyway. The
winning of district honors by iif-
teen year old girl is about all COM
mon people are entitled to, and we
Lynden folks are awfully common.

Western Washington communities III
the need of agricultural education, le-
ginning in the rural grade schools, ex-
tending up into the high schools, and
wherever possible on up into The

subject with which Mr.. Cline IS
thoroughly familiar, and one in which
he and many other thinkers are much
interested.
Mr.. Cline begins his lectures to-
morrow night, speaking at North va,
ina, from where he will come direct
to Lynden to remain over Sunday nj
home. Monday night he will speack
here and then will go to the Colum-

P. N. SERRURIER
IS new MANAGER

R w. Green has sold controlling
number of shares, 126, in the Lynden
State Bank to p. M. Serrurier, who
as vce-president of the institution
will hereafter have executive con-
troI OIL the bank.
ktsl Ireen. who stin owns or con-
seSsy y$4 sfilres Ia thu bank, viii, with
NJ family, leave Lynden sometime
mkt week, for Portland, Oregon,
Where, for the present, at least, hey
wtll make their home. Mr.. Serrurier
ms also bought the Green residence
NJ Lynden, and with his family will
nlDve into 1t at once. Mr.. Green will
oil be president OF the bank, and II
II advisory position will still have
uinch to say in the policy of the
bSnk.
Were it not that Mr.. Green is dear
Il to the writer than a brother, and
Dat his going away from Lynden is
abing to leave an empty feeling in.
dlr heart The Tribune would welcome
he announcement of this change. AS
i is We believe it presages better
Ind larger financial facilities for Lyn-
den and larger opportunities for the
bank, and that in the bringing in of
the new citizen at the going cut Of
the old, Lynden is not losing in a
business or social way by the change
though most of us / believe will be
Sorry We cannot keep both.
1t is certain that the bank is strong
er by the change. Mr.. Green retains
sufficients financial interest in The
coieern so that his financial strength
and experienced advice are available
at all times. Mr.. Serrurier, who
though a younger man, is of as high
reputation as a banker, brings to the
institution a new following of !inan-
cial hackers and new capital.
Mr.. Green has considered the go
ing away from Lynden for over a yea
now. When he first began to think
of leaving Lynden he thought OF Mr.
Serrurier and wrote tC him. Mr..
Serrurier came West ostensably on q
visit. He liked Lynden. He liked
the West. But, he was successful in
his Minnesota bank. He was making
money there, and though it was a
smaller town than Lynden he was
long in making up his mind that Lyn'
den offered him better advantages
Finally it was our climate and clean
moral town that won him.
Meantime Mr.. Green had opport-
unities to dispose of part or all oi
the bank shares he owned. He re-
fused under any circumstances to sci
all of his stock. Among those who
would buy less he found none that
he cared to sell to and retain a con-
nection with the bank himself. Mr.
Serrurier, he knew. In talking to iht
fribune Of the transfer Mr.. Green
said:
You know that have been plan
