ons why a tractor is profitable in
vestment for Lynden farmer:
1t reduces drudgery on the farm
makes farming pleasarter for the
elder men, and more attractive for
the boys. and gives the farmer more
time for recreation or other work.
The tractor does the work of sew
eral horses, does it better, and does
not eat while not working.
1t solves the labor problem by ma,
king the farmer independent largely
of hired help.

SELLS TWO CASE TRACTORS
TO FARMERS OF DISTRICT

! d. Wander Griend of Lynden and
l.. A. Miller are the latest owners of
Case Tractors in this district. The
Wagner Auto Company Of Belling-
ham today announced the two sales,
The fact that the Case burns ker-
osene and is operated economically
in other ways is recommending it to
the attention of Lynden farmers. The
Case-Sylphon Thermcstat insures a
complete combustion of kerosene at
all loads, and the Case ar washer alb
sclutely prevents dust and grit from
entering the cylinders.

THE LA CROSSE is the tractor and kero-
sene is the fuel which practical farmers choose.
Both of them furnish maximum power for the
money invested.

Why We Must Have Hard Roads.

Why We Must Have Hard Roads.
The answer to this is,-the Motor
Truck. No road which carries much
traffic can survive if it is not con-
structed of concrete, brick or some
other practically everlasting mater
ial, a material that can carry the
load. You can break a roads back
as readily as you can Old Dobbin's,
unless it has proper sustaining
strength. Transportation by truck is
increasing at a speed that auto pas
senger transportation, rapidly as it
developed. never 81 approached. Dirt,
gravel and macadam are utterly in
adequate. A heavy truck on a wet
dirt or gravel road makes a rut that
dragging or other temporary repair
will not efface in half a season. All
cars make a honeycomb out of mac
adam. Within few years the bulk
o. heavy farm as we'll as city hauling
will be done by truck in Grant coun-
ty as it is in the East and in many
places in the West. We have got to
have roads that will stand this ter
rife mauling, and we ought to have
them at once, or in as few years as
possible under the bonding scheme.
Let's have the good roads while we
are living. We may putter along at
great expense for five or ten years
as we are now doing, with unsatis-
factory roads, before we come to the
desirable and inevitable hard high
way Some Of US may escape a few
dollars IN taxation and leave it to be
borne by our children; but what's
the sense? We need the unruttable
road now. Let's build it for ourselves
as we'll as our children. Good roads
mean enjoyment and vastly increased
prosperity. l shall be glad to have
my children get more out of life than
| did; but l don't want to miss any
thing while I'm going through. Let's
live while we live

entitled to the full benefits of home
study as provided with the university
course embracing mechanics and arts
OF every nature. There were 25 to 80
applicants at the meeting.
Mr.. Brennan in his address traced
the development of the American Lee
gion from its inception in ST. Louis,
May 8, 1919, and also explained the
purpose Of the order He concluded
by quoting the preamble from the con-
stitution of the order which reads as
follows:
For God and Country we associate
ourselves together for the following
purposes:
To uphold and defend the Consti-
tuition of the United States of Amer
lea; to maintain law and order; to
foster and perpetuate a 100 per cent
Americanism; to preserve the mem.
cries and incidents of our associates
in the Great War; to inculcate a sense
of individual obligations to the COM
munity state and nation; to make
right the master of might; to promote
peace and good will on earth; to safe
guard and transmit to posterity the
principles of justice, freedom and de-
mocracy; to consecrate and sanctify
our comradeship by our devotion to
mutual helpfulness."
The sound Americanism in this
document could serve as platform
for all Americans.

tice the noon train coming in from
Madison at 11:40 and returning at

until the fuel situation improves. The
morning train will go out as usual at
500 and proceed to Montfort where
transfers can be made for points
east on the train that comes up from
Galena The morning train will lay
over at Montfort until time to come
home arriving here at $40 when it

A good beginning was made this
last week with the evangelistic SER
vices now being held in the Metho-
dist church. The audiences were OF
good size considering the weather
and Mr.. Taylor's messages and meth
DDS have the unqualified endorsement
of all who hear him. His sermons
are practical and scriptural and deal
with the great Bible messages. His
methods are always sane and he new
er stoops to the sensational. His
deep earnestness carries with it a
passport to. all hearts.
The singing has been increasingly
good under the leadership of Director
Fleming. The large chorus choir
now taxes the seating capacity of the
rostrum. Mr.. Fleming's solos are
sermons in themselves.
The Sunday audiences filled the
house three times. The patriotic ser
vice in the afternoon was really a
great meeting with a great message
that many will never forget. Mr.
Taylor's patriotism is more than AN
cestral, it is deeply Christian. 1t re-

Tentative plans for the ne wmunic-
ipal building have been displayed in
the Bennett store window The ideal
building as outlined will be of white
pressed brick with ornamental exter-
ior. The auditorium adjoining to the
south will be of design in harmony
with the city hall The plan calls
for rest rooms for men and women,
city offices and council rooms, COM
munity gathering room and modern
theatre able to seat 1000. The old
