$4,000 LYNDEN'S SHARE
! OF BIG LIBERTY LOAN
Large Sum Allotted To District For
Liberty Bonds: One-Third Already
Subscribed

Based on the financial resources of
the district, Lynden's share of the
Liberty Loan is exactly SIS, 900, and
of this amount, one-third has already
been subscribed.
One large subscription, and sew
eral smaller ones have been included
in the total sales locally already; it
is expected that the eighteen thous-
and total will be passed as soon as
citizens understand the features of
the loan.
The Liberty Loan Bonds are ap-
pealing especially to those who car
ry a large bank balance, but who
are not unwilling to convert this into
interest paying securities provided
assurance is given that thy can OBJ
tain their cash at any time. The
bonds being non-taxable, the invest
ment, although n, tting only 312 per
cent, is really the equivalent of a
S or 6 per cent investment in ordin-
airy securities.
1t is practically as readily convert
ed into cash as United States Treas
ury note. To dispose of one of these
Liberty Loan bonds may require the
owner to go to a bank instead of
passing it over any counter, but the
banks will without question advance
the cash on it.
In addition to the dollars and cents
value, the investment has a nature
that is appealing to Americans, that
of helping the government win Wet
ory for America in the war.

mittee in charge of the army camp

EDITORS READ ABOUT
FEATURES OFLYNDEN
National Prominence Given BY Mag
azine TO Farmer Stuart's Coat And
Other Gimlet News

Farmer Bert Stuart's Paris green
overcoat, Rev. p. II. Davies horn,
and other features popular in the
Lynden district, have been introduced
various points of the United States
through the medium of an article on
"The Lynden Gimlet" published this
month in 1.-The Washington News
paper" a magazine for newspaper
men published by the University of
Washington.
The article is written by Colin V.
Dyment, professor of journalism at
the University, an athletic looking
little man with soft voice and a
diploma from Canuck University.
Professor Dyment hands the Gimlet
jumbo boquet, large enough and
handsome enough for a first-class
funeral, and quotes copiously var
ious items from The Gimlet, telling
about our St. Patrick's day parade,
and Herr" Willis Worthen, and the
like, just to bear out his complim-
entary comments.
"The primary requisite for a col
yum is that it be a good one, fed
constantly by fresh IDEAS" writes
the university professor. Most
of the world likes to be joshed, but
when the joshing is done in print, it
ought at least to be clever. The
Gimlet is clever. Only one out of
many can write a good colyum at
all, and only one out of very many
can produce a uniformly good column
more than three weeks in succession.
1t remains to be seen how long The
Gimlet will stay up to standard, for
if the author can keep it full of mat
erial as good as the first half dozen
installments, he can make a living
as a colyumist somewhere. as well as
at running a country weekly of eight
pages, or operating a linotype"
Tribune readers will be pleased to
hear that Professor Dyment is man
of rare judgment, and in matters OF
this kind is looked on as an expert
pro bono tune" or as the French
would say, par chest.

EVERSON KICKS ON LETTING
HIGH PRICED PAVING JOBS

The letting of road contracts in
the face of vastly increased costs of
construction isn't meeting with the
approval of all sections of the county.
In Everson last week, the Everson
Valley Home which had previously
endorsed the hard-surface road pro-
gram, had the following to say of
the commissioners action under the
heading of useless Waste of Public
Monies:"
''This is no time for the useless
expenditure of public funds. With
the special taxes that will need to be
levied, labor so scarce and high, only
those things necessary should be
pushed with much vigor. :. Here
in Whatcom County is the largest ex-
penditure in the matter of hard-sur-
face roads more contemplated road
work for this year than we have had
in the last five. In the estimates
made by County Engineer Lindberry,
a large amount of leeway has been
made by the officials, yet not one bid
but what exceeds his estimate by sew
eral thousands of dollars. This in
itself should be the proof that this
is not the time to have this work
done. In former years, the bids re-
ceived have always been under the
estimate, but the labor situation this
year does not allow the contractor
safe enough margin on conservat-
i've bidding. Furthermore, these con-
ditions may possibly mean that the
road building cannot be completed
before the winter weather starts in,
with the result that they will remain
in that condition until spring.
"At any rate, let little common
sense enter into this road building,
and let political favors and promises
be annuled during the coming few
months"

A Notice To Tribune Subscribers

Beginning July Is, all subscriptions to The
Lynden Tribune must be paid in advance. Sharp
advances in the price of paper, which has increas-
ed over one hundred per cent during single year,
force The Tribune either to advance its subscript-
ion price, method adopted by hundreds of pub
lications throughout the country to meet the in
creased COSTS or to eliminate the losses that
from extending credit. Inasmuch more than
ninety per cent of The Trbunes subscribers pay
their accounts promptly The Tribune felt that the
cash-n advance method would be fairer to all con-
cerned.
On July Is, therefore, those who have not paid
in advance for The Tribune will be dropped from
the list. Due notice will be given in every case, and
subscribers are urged to settle their subscription
account before that date.

FOR LYNDEN'S CEMETERY

In order to form an association to
care for Lynden's cemetery, a meet
ing of owners of plots and those in
terested in the movement, will be
held Monday evening at the City Hall
at 8 o'clock.
For some time past, the cemetery
has been neglected, and allowed to
get into an unkempt condition. 1t is
believed that a working organization
of those interested in it's care could
make an attractive park of the site.
All interested are urged to attend.
