COMMISSIONERS MAKE TWO
MOVES IMPORTANT TO LYNDEN

The county commissioners have
made two moves OF great Importance
to Lynden. Bids have been called for
for the paving of the Glendale road.
extending from the city limits OF
Lynden to the end OF the river road
pavement, distance OF five and
three-fourths miles. Bids will be op-
ened June IL.
The second move is the redecking
OF the Guide Meridian river bridge
approaches. Work on this project
was started yesterday morning.
The bridge has been in a terrible
condition for many months, and the
news of the improvement will be well
coined generally.

LYNDEN cows WOULD STARTLE
WILLAPA VALLEY FARMERS

While the COWS Of Lynden and the
Whatcom County Cow Testing AS
sociation were making records OF
SO to 1O4 pounds of butterfat dur
ing the month of April. down near
South Bend, the Willapa Valley herds
were not averaging more than 26.s
pounds of butterfat. according to a
report published this week.
Lynden farmers will be interest
ed in noting the figures in the fol-
lowing report and comparing them
with local records as published in the
Tribune last week:
1.-The first monthly report OF the
Willapa Valley Testing Association
made by John L. Wann, official test
ers. shows that Mr.. Wann tested 474
cows during the month end found
them averaging 1866 pounds OF milk
per cow per month. and 26.9 pounds
of butterfat per month. The aver
age feed cost per month was $4.17,
and the average cost to produce 100
pounds of milk was So cents.
The highest record was that made
by Niger" a grade Holstein in j.
A. Gibson's herd, which produced
1886 pounds Of milk yielding e76
pounds Of butterfat in 80 days. Sec
ond place went to "Blacky,' grade
Holstein in the herd Of D. B. Looney'
which gave 1,422 pounds OF milk
Welding 66S pounds of butterfat.
Because of their ages. Mr.. Wann
cites as especially notable the per-
formance of two cows, one in the
herd of r. w. Schultz and the other
owned by Joe Bosch. The Schultz
animal is past 81 years of age, yet
gave ,476 pounds OF milk with 5l.7
pounds OF butterfat. The other COW
is Is and gave 1886 pounds OF milk
which yielded Sill pounds OF butter
fat. Mr.. Shultz's cow has few teeth
remaining, and most OF her food has
to be ground.

CONTRASTING PAYS,
SAY LYNDEN FARMERS
New Association Is Success; History
of Oldest Organization Traced And
Results Shown

Lynden farmers are enthusiastic
about the results that they are get
ting from the new Whatcom County
Cow Testing Association, the biggest
organization of its kind in the United
States.
Association members say: Il am
making three times as much net pro-
fit from IL cows as l formerly made
from lS." Through the work OF
the association / have saved one
third of my feed BILL" THE asso-
citation has returned more than 500
per cent on what it has cost me- =
II am perfectly astonished at the re-
suits. / thought had very good
herd OF butter cows, but have found
many of them worse than worthless.
| The first cow-testing association in
the United States began its work in
Newaygo County. Michigan. in 1906.
The average butterfat production
for the first year was 215 pounds a
COW. 1t increased the second year to
| 220 pounds. 1t rose the third year
to 265 pounds. The next year 1t
passed the 26O-pound mark, and it
has been higher than that every year
since. The average production OF
the last three years was 60 pounds of
butterfat above hat Of the first year.
How much the average OF the first
year exceeded that of the year before
the work began is not matter OF
record, but doubtless the first year
of association work showed some
striking gains. Even aside from
those. however, and counting only
the go pounds of butterfat, the gains
are still far above the cost Of test
ing.
The war temporarily stopped the
work of the Newaygo County Asso-
cIation. At the end Of the tenth
month of the eleventh year the tester
then at work resigned h,s position
to fight for his country on the bat
tie fields eeff Europe. The associa-
ton will be recognized as soon es
satisfactory tester can be found.
The estimated average butterfat
production Of all the dairy cows in
the United States is about 160
pounds a year From 80 yearly sum-
maries of cow-testing associations,
including the records OF 26,710 cows,
their butterfat production averaged
245 pounds year. That is more than
so per cent above the country's av-
crage production, and a large part
of the gain may fairly be attributed
to association work.

Great Place for the Riddles

East Lake park the citys municipal resort, is going to be regular mecca for children this summer" said J. Ellis Brown, commissioner of publiutihties yesterday afternoon.
 The reason I make this prediction is that I happen to have knowledge of many of the treats Managed Hugh Hill Is planning for the children and which will be put into play with the formal opening of the resort about May 1. He has spent a considerable sum in pro- curing vast quantity of playground material and the tots can while away many an hour entertaining themselves with these devices. Then, too, the goat and pony track is going to prove a valuable asset to the park when il comes to entertaining children

 Some seem to think that I spent my time in preaching or making religious addresses, when as matter of fact only made one in Europe and that al Mentone when I was on furlough, and the other on ship board on the way home What I did do was to do little of every thing that every buck private did with the exception of shooting a gun. I worked in the huts, I carried ammunition, l toted rocks to help build roads. In fact I was general roustabout There were some slackers in the Y. M c. A. but as fast as they were found out they were sent home. As class the Y. M. c A. worker makes good.'

"CHER AMI"

From the Chicago News.
 "Cher Ami'' is the name of carrier pigeon that flew back from the Ameri- can lines to Gen. Pershing, carrying a message of victory in the Argonne. IL arrived with the message, but with broken leg also, for German puiiet struck it in it's flight. On Wednesday if reached New York on an army trans port. along with thousand other carrier pigeons which had been employed in war service.
 Yes. even birds and dumb beasts did their part in the war for humanity sake. Little canaries in the trenches, which they tested for noxious gases. died that the allies might win. Carrier pig cons brought messages from army and | from seaplane. Horses and mules had their indispensable part in the epic strug- gle. Dogs kept watch and searched battle
 fields for the wounded.
 Now that the war for humanity is over, will not the humanity it vindicated be a little broader even than that which con- cerns itself with the human species? Is not "Cher Ami,' bleeding but carrying l its message in response to the invincible ho1ning instinct. a sort of ambassador for the long mistreated Poland of birds and beasts? Does it not suggest that in our minds we should fix anew the boun- daries of their little kingdom of right and
 fix those boundaries more humanely? | They will not protest in case we fall
 in this duty. They will suffer and live
 out their short lives just as before. And men will have shown once more their | ca pacity for ingratitude-their failure to
 ! LII derstand their obligations toward their dumb associates.

National Prosperity
 Speeds Victory Loan

THE initial success of the Victory
 9 Liberty Loan is not hard to ex-
 plain, although it was feared that the | campaign would be harder than any
 of the previous Liberty Loans. There lis psychological aspect to the case, to be sure. The American people are determined to finish the work they began and they are periodically lend ing of their means to the government. But there is practical reason also.
 America is far richer than it was in 1914. It is richer today than it was
 in 1918. We have a $3,000, ,000, 900 an- nual surplus of exports over imports,
 which is one of the chief factors in our national prosperity. It is true that America has loaned huge sums to the allies and large part of our exports are being sold on future promises to pay, but our treasury has paid American producers in cash for European purchases and the obliga- tions of European governments will eventually reimburse our government.
 Even the Russian debts can be col Ilected when that country is stabilized, but money owed to America by Rus sia, though large in itself, it is in-
 considerable part of the total.
 Having won the greatest victory in the history of the world, having emerged from the war with additional prestige and a sense of duty we'll done, and with the country immensely richer than jt was five years ago, if the Victory Liberty Loan were a fail ure there would be more cause for sur prise than there is in the rapidity with which the people of America are buy ing Victory Bonds.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Suggestion for Parade

Having had considerable experience with parades of various kinds, and be- ing intensely interested in the recep- tion to be given. the gallant 167th reg iment. and desirous of having every feature a success, may offer a few suggestions in reference to the parade, ' said Capt E. J. McCrossin.
 Tn my opinion there are three essen tinals necessary to a successful parade, namely, plenty of music, plenty of cheering, and plenty of noise. There should be sufficient number of bands to keep the entire parade en- livened with music, and as to the cheer ing, something that is often missing in our parades, I would suggest the stationing of cheer leaders, such as they have at all colleges, at regular intervals on the line of march, and as to noise, the plentiful use of daylight fireworks of the bomb variety would supply this feature"
