| Five years ago, the tractor was un-
known in the Lynden district-as
rare as twenty-dollar gold coin is

were new-fangled things that a few
LINDEN farmers had installed, while
the rest were standing around scott

But that was yesterday-today,
practically every Lynden dairy farm
shows the towering peak of a silo.
and on nearly dozen in various Sec

ing things easy with a tractor. In

conditions locally declare that the
number of tractors will be more than
doubled, as the interest taken in the

was left vacant in the vast amphlthea-
ter, when behold down the sloping
rows of seats there came an old man,
looking here and there aud there and
here, but looking in vain for a place.
At last he came near the seats re-
served for the most distinguished
guests. Here sat ambassadors from
Sparta, where old age was treated
with the very greatest respect. AS
soon as they saw the old man they
rose In a body to give him seat. The
spectators cheered and cheered again
to the echo. Then said the Spartans:
"The Athenlans too seem to know how
to treat the aged, but they do not seem
to practice what they know" Is there
not here a lesson that we may take to
heart?
