PRIZES FOR JUNK

c. f. Flint. president of the What
com County Potato Growers Assoc
iation. has made a suggestion for the
improvement Of the county fair syst
en- of awarding prizes that should re-
ceive careful consideration.
Mr.. Flint's idea calls for the estab-
lishment of certain standards in each
class, 10 which the entries must con-
form before they are considered at
all by the judges. This would mean
that in a number of cases each year,
no prize would be given because Of
inferior entries, which in Mr.. Flint s
opinion. would permit the fair direct
ors to increase the amount OF the
cash awards made in those groups
which are worthy. and at the same
time give an incentive to the unsuc-
cessful contestants to improve the
quality Of their products.
There is much of wisdom in Mr..
Flint's suggestion. The Whatcom
County Fair each year pays out much
gold as awards for entries that can
be grouped under the general head
ing of junk. Scrub horses, scrub
cows, scrub canned goods, scrub ap-
pies, scrub needlework. scrub cheese.
and scrub swine have been tagged
with the official blue ribbon of the
Fair. and awarded substantial checks

SLIPPING IT OVER

II is altogether likely that the COM
rnissioners will call for bids for the
Marietta bridge and that. over the
Fishtrap creek on the Lynden-b BEL
bingham road in the same item. in
order to silence opposition on the
part of the Lynden district which is
vigorously opposed to squandering
$4,000 slice OF the county's funds
for the structure across the shifting
mouth of the Nooksack.
Shut up about Marietta. and we
will give YOU your bridge" would be
a fair statement of the commission
ers desire should they make the
twin call for bids.
Lynden bridge or no LINDEN
bridge, The Tribune considers the
Marietta project ridiculous divers
ion of a lot OF county money away
from legitimate road improvements,
merely to cancel some prediction
promises. and please few wealthy
Lummi Island property owners.
The Marietta bridge building ought
to blocked, even if to do so were to
delay the construction of the Lynden
bridge for thousand years.

The report of County Engineer
Lindbery published in this issue OF
The Tribune. giving the approximate
costs of road improvement under the
Donahue road law, is one that should
be studied by the taxpayers who are
petitioning for the improvements.
The building of the roads at this
time will mean larger cost per mile
than formerly because of the increas-
ed cost of road materials and labor,
giving the county less miles of road

year ago. And the report of the eng

Neither low nor at any other

gan has there been any reluct-
ance on the part of any coLsid-

zens to back up the President. "
The difficulty has been that in all
the great problems that have a
risen as an incident to the war in
Europe, tie American people
have been ahead of rather than
behind President Wilson. The
American people were fer pre-
paredness before President Will
son became an advocate OF that
policy. They were opposed to
shipments of cotton to Germany
to be made into ammunition for
warfare on humanity while Pre-
sident Wilson was still insisting
upon the right to send cotton to
that nation through the medium

The American people were ready

words of President Wilson had

Ellis Butler once wrote an am

Now Mr.. Hoover tells us they are
more than that; that they will,
in fact, win the war. He points
out that the men in the trenches
must have food which is rich in
the carbors, meaning pork; that
there must be animal fats for use
in the manufacture OF munitions
and soap, meaning lard, ard the
like. Consequently, the porker
is coming into notice, and Mr..
Hoover advocates a keep-a-pig
movement. In classic days il
was the cackling Of a flock Of
geese that saved Rome; who can
tell that a drove of squealing hogs
will not save the Allies?
