| Weekly takes occasion this week to
censure the Governor as follows:
| Governor Glynn of New Yorky
is president of the Albany" Times
Union" 1t isn't a bad newspaper.
We wish all the same that after
election Governor Glynn would find
time to enquire into the advertise
ments that his business department
is printing. The"Times-UniOn" pos
itively reeks with quackery and bun
co. On the sporting page appear
the odious and misleading notices,
headed "YOUNG MEN" that the ia
kers always like to place next the
baseball news. The Personal" col
umns are we'll stocked with the adj
vertisements of the matrimonial
agencies: Lady, A. worth 100000
would marry; so. for that matter
would Business Man. 55, worth
100000" These particular notices
J appear in different issues, Just a
week apart; /. e., in the well read
Saturday editions. They are insert
ed by the same agency located in
Toledo, Ohio. Now Governor Glynn
is practical newspaper man and
takes an active interest in the
''Times-Uuion" also he is high
ly intelligent. Why doesn't he clean
house? Hard by the death notices
and undertakers' advertisements
there are too many patent medicine
"ads"-some of them set up in the
same kind of type as legitimate
news. Such devices as these have
been given up by newspaper men
who carry their idealism into their
own affairs. Such advertisements
these are turned down by really
clean newspapers like the Herald"
in Chicago and the "Star" In Kansas
City and less known newspapers in
other towns. We should like it bette
if the Governor of one Of our
greatest States made his money in
some other way than by boosting
business for tricky quacks and clair
voyants and matrimonial" agents.

Is YOUR BOY IN SCHOOL

Have you counted the cost of the
fierce competition he will meet by
tn time he is middle aged? Have
you noticed the increasing number
of young people from the farms who
go to the agricultural colleges each
term? Do you realize that their
chief gain Is not in WHAT THEY
LEARN, but in the fact that they
LEARN HOW TO LEARN? They
will go back to their farms after a
course In college, and the experience
they get will teach them more than
the same amount of experience will
teach a man who has stayed at home.
They will make the same mis-
take less often. They will have a
larger vision and will see greater
possibilities of productiveness and
profitable marketing of crops.
History may seem a nuisance and
arithmetic a waste of time. Hard
drills in English grammer may be
tiresome and monotonous, but after
all Is said and done the mental exer-
else they give will mean dollars and
cents in ability to think in after
years.
The man who has been through
high school and college sees in every
flower, in every insect, in every
beast of the field the manifestations
OF the wonderful work of nature,
and the things which he learned in
school come back to him and lend
pleasure and interest to his work.
For the boy who has left school
when he finished the eight grade
and went to work, prompted, per-
haps by the ambition to do man
work which every normal boy has
to certain extent. the advancing
years bring the same mOnotOnOus
rounds of blowing, sowing, cultivat-
ing, moving, haymaking, binding,
and shocking, thrashing, corn pick
ing and winter SHOWS.
To the boy who has put in his
growing years training his mind and
broadening his mental vision each
springtime is a glory of unfolding
leaves and bursting seeds. His
thoughts go out to the wonderful
changes that nature is working in
the earth and the living things arou-
nd him.

his work. AS he plOws his mind is
relieved now and then by thoughts
of other places he has seen, the me-
thOds he might use which would in
crease the productiveness of his
land.
He has learned that the limit of
production Of any grain, any field,
any animal, any human being has
never been reached, and so instead
of cursing the luck that made him a
farmers son; instead of looking -
cross the fields at a passing train
and wishing he was on it and speed
ing away to the great city, this man
with an education realizes that his
work is a profession; that his call
ing is noble; that the returns from
his labor are his by divine right and
the law of compensation; that he is
beggaring no human being to in
crease his bank account; that no
children are giving their young lives
for pittance to increase his profits.
FATHERS AND MOTHERS, when
your boy gets restless and tired of
his school, encourage him in every
possible way to continue his studies,
do something ktO inspire him with
the desire to at least finish nigh

THE PIONEERS

Lynden entertained the pioneers
this week.
And LINDEN was proud to do hon
ors to these men and women who
braved early hardships to build up
the city, whose courage was great
enough to overcome the wilderness
and whose faith was strong enough
to maintain their position through
times of privation.
A great good humor must have
buoyed them up in those early days
in those free, hospitable, grand old
days, when all were good nelghbors
belonging to the common family, I'M
hampered by cliaues or classes.
Kindly good humor it must be
that has kept them all 50 youthfui,
that will keep them ever young.

"she knew little French" she sailed
forth from the hotel in Paris to post a

"Bien, madame. Par ici"
He politely conducted her into an Of

FREEDOM.

There is only one cure for
evils which newly acquired free
dom produces. and that cure is
freedom. When prisoner first
leaves his cell he cannot bear
the light of day; he is unable to
discriminate colOrs or. recognize
faces. The remedy is to accus-
tom him to the rays of the sun.
The blaze of truth and liberty
may at first puzzle and bewilder
nations which have become half
blind in the house Of bondage.
But let them gaze on and they
will soon be able to bear It. In
a few years men learn to rea-
son. The extreme violence OF
opinions subsidies. Honest the
cries correct each other. The
scattered elements Of truth cease
to contend and begin to coalesce.
And at length system Of JUS
tice and order is educed out OF
the chaos.
Many politicians Of our time
are In the habit of laying 1t
down as q self evident PROPOSE
ton that no people ought to be
free till they are fit to use their
freedom. The maxim is worthy
of the fool In the old story who
resolved not to go into water
till he had learned to swim. II
men are to wait for liberty till
they become wise and good In
slavery they may indeed wait
forever.-Macaulay.

BE A BOOSTER, NOT A KNOCKEF

Show your faith In your OWL

Have confidence in your fellows.
Remember that your people right

destructive criticism. It's easy 10

Drag The LINDEN Roads

When smiles of spring appear,
Drag the roads;
When the summertime Is here,
Drag the roads;
When the corn is in the ear,
In the winter cold and drear,
Every season of the year,
Drag the roads.
When you've nothing else to do,
Drag the roads;
II but for an hour or two,
Drag the roads;
1t will keep them good and new,
With a purpose firm and true;
Fall in line, it's up to you,
Drag the roads.

one, and one that should be follow

limits. but also in Lynden itself.
Prof. Davis gave Il demonstration
at the Farmers Institute Saturda!
of the ease with which poor roads
can be improved with the split lot
drag. He showed how simple it was
to build the drag, and how little II
cost to keep the roads in shape.
With Front Street improved, Lyn

And you can fix that rock along
side the railroad tracks so that at a
touch of my finger it operates?"
'To the thousandth part of an inch
and timed to the millonth part of a
second" asserted Red DaYids posi-
lively.
''Famousl If there is no hitch in
the plan will give you twenty dol
lar bill extra when the work is done"
For three days after that old man
Davids was occupied in digging about
a rocky ledge overhanging the rail-
road cut about a mile from Rush
brook. 1t was secluded spot, but
\ whenever anybody appeared in the
vicinity the worker suspended opera
tons Immediately and secreted him
self and his tools.
Of all these elaborate arrange
ments the town people suspected lit
tie and knew nothing. Pierce was
rather conspicuous and overbearing
in his attitude to his friends, as if
harboring some glowing secret soon
to blaze forth in full power and mag
nifcence and dazzle the community.
Roy Waldron was a practical ath-
lete as well as a crack swimmer. He
took long walks, and one afternoon
was returning along the bluff road
from a ten-mile tramp when some
one suddenly hailed him with the up
roarious though unsteady words:
Hey, you come here"
Tracing the speaker, Roy located
Red Davis floundered down in a nest
of shrubbery, blinded, nerveless, fair

Some quick intuition seemed to
give Roy an inkling on what was go
ing on. The old miner in his present
muddled condition had taken him for
Pierce. Something was up between
the twain Mischief, it seemed-and
"a loose rock" and "the cut" COM
prised the clue to the same. Towards
the cut Roy now ran at the top of
his speed.
Reaching the edge of the bluff an
amazing spectacle greeted his vision.
The side of the cut was all denied and
Jagged where an immense rock had
rolled down it, landing squarely
across the double set of rails.
Running down the track in the
direction of Rushbrook was Pierce.
He had set a red neck scarf in the
crotch or tree branch near the rock
and was dashing towards the town
and the coming express waving a
Haunting red handkerchief.
1t was impossible from what Dayids
had said to mistake the situation.
Pierce at a dangerous rock was aim
ing to pose as hero. There was no
doubt that he would succeed in halt
ing the oncoming train. At that mo-
ment, however, there was distant
echoing whistle from the opposite
direction.
Roy thrilled as he surmised what
this might mean. An extra, probably
some special excursion train not reg
ularly scheduled, was coming The
thoughtless, foolhardly Pierce had
never calculated on that. In an in
slant Roy realized the peril that men
aced
He had slid down the steep side of
the cut without hesitation. Gaining
the road bed below, he started to run
through the cut in the direction of the
inbound excursion train.

Women Work on Family Budget

From the Christian Science Monitor
 Women are accomplishing much that is useful nowadays, in all lines. and it Is not surprising to learn that the women of the Jacksonville. Fla. womens club have taken up the task of reforming the family budget They have entered upon the work of organizing a Housewives league in which all the women of the city may take part and it Is expected that the result may be considerable change in the methods of managing the family income and outgo. One of the weaknesses of the present family eco- homie system. we think, is too great diff fusion of authority. There are too many spenders in the home. There is too little system in the purchasing department. There is great need of centralization. The average wife and mother can make a dol- lar go much further than the average husband and father. Perhaps it would be for the good of many households if only one person in the family held the purse strings, did all the buying, paid all the bills especially If the person chosen for this responsible office should be the woman of the house, and thrifty.
