practice on the part Of the city
dads Of giving away city streets.
Mayor Hanson nays he has We
toed ordinances with q view towards
protecting the public and that the
council has passed them over his
veto. He says that the only method
left 10 curb the council IL to refer

Il have done my best to stop the
giving away Of streets TO private
concerns declared the mayor. but
the council. however. sees fit to
pass such bills over my veto. There
il but one other course left TO The
public who believe that the streets
belong to the people and not TO be
used az presents for private indi'
viduais. That course Is TO refer
endum every measure giving away
public property for private use
withou, compensation. II anyone

EACH FARM SHOULD
EXHIBIT AT 1919 FAIR
So Says County Agent H. b. Carroll,
Jr., And He Is Conducting Cam
paign To See That It's Done

That every farm in the county OF
Whatcom should have an exhibit at
the 1919 Whatcom County Fair is
the opinion of H. B. Carroll, jr., ag-
ricultural agent of the county, and
he is conducting a vigorous CAM
paiga along these lines as he makes
the rounds of the various districts.
In explaining the value of exhib-
iting at the Fair, Mr.. Carroll this
week prepared the following state
ment:
The Board of Directors of the
Whatcom County Fair Association
are working hard to make this years
exhibition the biggest and best in the
history of the county.
Now is the time to begin for the
exhibits that you will show at the
County Fair in Lynden during the
week of September 30th to October
4th. The time is not far off and the
premium list has been changed SC
that the prizes are larger and more
attractive in amount.
In order that you will be success
full in making a creditable display
of farm crops, it is essential that the
seed bed be well prepared and that
proper soil cultural methods be fol
lowed, so that the best will be none
too good when the time comes tC
harvest the exhibit materials.
Careful cultivation produces bet
ter crops just as feed and care make
larger and more uniform livestock
Try to have both.
