To Protect The Children

To protect the health of school
children, the parents of Lynden are
going to ask the property-owners
along the streets leading to the city
schools to put in sidewalks. A COM
mittee to circulate petitions ON be-
half of the Parent-Teacher's Associa-
ton was appointed at a meeting OF
that organization Tuesday night.
Their plea should meet with ready
response by the property owners.
The improvement they ask is one
that should have been made years
ago; it probably would have been
had the matter been presented in
the right way, for many of the citi-
zens affected have already express
ed their approval of the plan.
The laying of sidewalks should
not be confined TO the school streets
alone. AS matter of civic pride,
property owners along the other
cross streets end along Grover
Street SHOULD provide cement walks.
The cost is slight and the returns
great.

A Report On County Autos

Some months ago, the Tribune
arose to remark that the expenses
of operating the county's automo-
bile were enough each month to pay
the national debt.
The experts of the state bureau
of inspection issued a most interest
ing report this week in which they
come to a similar conclusion.
''The expense of operating and
maintaining the county automobile
has been high and complete data is
not available to locate the cause,
says the report. Mileage records
were kept for only a portion of the
time, and during the months for
which this information could be OBJ
tanned the cost of operation and
maintenance, exclusive of the pay
OF the driver, was from II cents 20
20 cents per mile, and the mileage
was about twelve miles per gallon
of gasoline"
After the matter has been called
to their attention twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times more, the COM
missioners will probably take some
sort of action.

Name Your Farm

Every farm in the Nooksack
Valley district should be named.
There's money in it, declares
Prof. H. w. Davis of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, who
points out that farm name has an
economic value and that the modern
farmer is a business man and should
name his place of business just as
grocers, druggists and other bust
ness men do.
GIN choosing mare for the farm
give it an appropriate one," ne
says. Don't call an S0-acre farm
ranch, or chicken farm some name
that would imply that its important
product was onions. If it is a dairy
farm, say so; if it is poultry
farm, say so; or if your speciality is
bees, say so, for this is an effective
means of publicity"
The name may also be taken from
the location of the farm, lie points
out, such as an especially beautiful
rock formation, creek running
through the farm, or trees.
'In case there should be rock
which stands high and is visible for
miles around, the place. might be
called Bald Eag'e Farm Sunset

is pretty creek, tho something like

How long was il after Thomas A. Edi-
son commenced to study music that he
perfected the photography?
While the extent of Mr.. Edison's mu-
steal knowledge is not generally
known. it can safely be said that this
knowledge, even if he had it. would
have aided him little in inventing the
photograph. The photograph Is mere
ly device to record and reproduce
sounds accurately by means of the VI
bration of a diaphragm of exceedingly
thin metal, and it will reproduce dis
cords quite as distinctly as it will the
finest operate music. For descrip-
ton of the instrument see any good
dictionary or encyclopedia.
How many Of the Chicago anarchists
who participated in the Haymarket riot
were hanged7
Four were hanged. one committed
suicide in prison, two were sentenced
to Imprisonment for life and one for
fifteen years, and three were pardoned
in 1893.
What is the average salary paid to
librarians and library assistants?
This question is too general to be an
swered adequately here. What would
be true in one locality would not be in
another. In the larger cities the chief
librarian of the principal library fire.
quently receives very handsome sal
airy, often as high as $1,000 or $4,000
year. His assistants receive from
few hundred annually up to $500 or
$500. according to their branch of
work and length of service. A good
average for assistant librarians In
cities would probably be from $500 to
81, 200 a year.
What was the date Of the Haymarket
riot in Chicago, in which seven police
men were killed?
May 4, 1856.
What is the color Of Scotch collie.
and how 10 It marked?

collie, the rough haired variety and the
smooth coated. The rough haired col
lie has a tapering muzzle. a heavy cont

and frll about neck very abundant
Color ranges from black and tan to
tan and white or all white. The
smooth coated collie has the same gen
eral characteristics. except that il has
dense. short, fat coat of good texture
and varies in color and in its distribn
ton more than the long coated one.

Vegetable resin gums furnish the

the resin gum Of the black spruce tree

tree of South America, is the substance
most used now. The tree Is similar to
the rubber tree and its gum similar to
