STORES WILL FEATURE
TRADE-MARKED WEEK
Will Display Nationally Famous Mat
erials And Wares That Can Be
Purchased In Lynden

To demonstrate by a vigorous dis
play the wonder products of Americ-
a that are being sold right here in
Lynden, local merchants will take
part in statewide Trade Marked
Goods Week beginning Feb. 26.
The purpose of the week will be
to show the consumer the advant-
ages of buying nationally advertised
goods, the best of their kind, right
at home, instead of some off-color
private brand behind which there is
no guarantee of quality. Well-known
advertised goods when sold by Lyn-
den stores have back of them not on
ly the guarantee of the manufacturer
but also the assurance of the local
merchants that they will make good
any flaws in case any should be
found.
A feature of the Week will be a
voting contest on the merit of the dis
plays in the Lynden store windows,
for which rewards in cash will be
paid Lynden boys or girls who take
part. Prizes will be given the best
displays of trade-marked goods made
in the State, and photographs of the
Lynden store windows will be ent-
cred in this contest.
Full details of the cash prize con-
tests will be given in the next issue
of The Tribune.

That the Whatcom County Fair
held each year in the city of Lynden
may be aided financially from the
county funds, is possibility with
the favorable consideration this week

Should the measure become a law,
Whatcom county could contribute as
much as $500 to the support and
maintenance of the Fair. In the
early history of the Fair. the COM
missioners were willing to make an
to build it up. but an op-
inion from the attorney-general say
ing that they could not do so legally

BONE DRY" LAW
Senate Passes Measure, And Barring
A Referendum, State Will Be Liq-
uorless After June 10

Governor Ernest Lister will sign
the "bone-dry" law passed by the
Senate yesterday, and Washington
will be absolutely non-alcoholic af-
ter June 10. if referendum is not
invoked against the measure.
Only three votes were registered
against the bill in the Senate, all
coming from Spokane County. The
bill passed the house last week. As
the. law goes to the governor to be
signed, it prohibits absolutely the
importation or sale of liquor, except

Advocates of the measure look for
a vigorous referendum fight to be in
augurated against it, and not until
this is over and settled, will the mat
ter be at rest.
