Soft Toned Bells of China.


The natives of China use large bells
Of their own make in many of theii
temples and monasteries. I have no
ticed all through Japan and China thai
the tone of the monastery and temple
bells is very soft and smooth, due to
the superior quality Of the material
used in their manufacture and to the
absence Of iron clappers, the result be-
ing a marvellous softness and mellow
ness of tone. The bells are never
swung, being always suspended in q
fixed frame, and the sound is produced
by striking them on the outer edge
with a wooden mallet This makes the
soft tones which are so delightfully."-

YOUTH

When you're eighty-five, do you
think you will have so much vigor
and sprightliness that you can en-
gage forcefully in new undertakings.
One of Whatcom County's fine pat
riarchs, Dr.. j. Nj. Thornton, is work
ing tirelessly now to prove to the
farmers of this section that Whatcom
County can raise as fine flax, as can
be produced any place in the world ,
and flax, at it's present price of 5 500
a ton, would make Rockefellers of
local farmers.
Dr. Thornton marched by his three
score and ten year allotment fifteen
years ago, and he is still striding "a
head with the energy of youth.

LOOKING BACKWARD

Just twenty-four months ago, the
beckoned in their wagons, and went
out of business temporarily, owing
to the leaden condition of the canned
milk market. Condensery patrons
at that time scurried around to the
creameries for help in the emergency
and the creameries took care of them
in their trouble.
This week, Sorensen's Creamery
of LINDEN announced it's intention
of following the lead of scores of
similar institutions in the state, and
closing down temporarily on Septem-
Der l, until such a time as conditions
are such that they can obtain an adj
equate supply of cream.
Taking into consideration the val
ne of skim milk as feed for calves
and hogs, there is hardly a whfsker
of difference at the present time be-
tween the prices offered the farm
ers by the condenseries and cream
cries. But the steady old friend OF
yesterday is forgotten, and the dair-
ymen chum with the acquaintance
that proved tickle in 1915.
With the creameries gone, it would
be interesting to know where the
dairymen would go with their pro-
duct, in the event of drop in the
canned milk market, and a conseq-
uent repetition of 1915 conditions.
Go? Not unlikely to the region they
would have visited two years ago If
il hadn't been for the creameries-
up that certain creek whose first
name is Salt"
