LYNDEN BULL GRAND
CHAMPION AT FAIR
"Suniight's Chief" Sire of Meender-
inck Herd, Takes Blue Ribbon at
Burlington

A Lynden bull, Sunlight Chief
was awarded the grand champion
honors at the Skagit County Fair at
Burlington last week. The sturdy
'I.ynden representative is the sire of
Peter Meenderinck' s fine herd of reg
istered Jerseys.
"Sunlights Chief" attracted wide
spread attention at the Burlington
Fair, and proved one of the features
of the show with his winning blue
ribbon.
Meenderinck took senior and ju-
nior herd honors in the Jersey class,
leading the field in both depart
ments.
"St. Mawes Susie of Lynden" was
awarded top honors in the senior
heifer calf class, and other members
of the herd received a shower of
ribbons.

lLYNDEN WILL MEET
| FAST EVERSON TEAM
Lively Contest Looked For; Ferndale
Wins Friday Game by Big Score;
Hickey Pitches Well

What promises to be one of the
most exciting games of the season
will be played at the Fair Grounds
next Sunday between Lynden and
Eyerson. Everson's team has been
strengthened somewhat by the add
tion of several Bellingham players
but the local boys hope to make il
four straight victories for the season
from their old rivals. The game will
be called at o'clock sharp.
Last Friday at the Pioneer Picnic
Ferndale defeated Lynden IS to 4
Some of Lynden's regular players
were unable to be present, and for
that reason Lynden asked permission
to use outside men and not consider
it a regular league game, but the
leaders refused to grant it.
1t was necessary to put Olson. one
of Lynden's regular pitchers, behind
the bat. He certainly deserves much
credit for playing the game he did
in strange position and perhaps the
hardest on the diamond. But in
spite of this the team had an off day
in fielding and batting both.
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Norman Hickey. Dean
and Jameson tried for six innings to
stop the slugging of the Ferndale
batters, but without success. Hickey
then went in the box and held his
opponents hitless and scoreless for
the rest of the game.
Lynden was more effective against
Olson in this game than before, secor-
ing eight safe hits off of his delivery.
Three of these were secured by Dean,
two by Hickey, and one each by Bent
ley, Reid, and E. Meurer. Lynden's S
runs were scored by Kellner, Hick-
ey, E. Meurer, and Reid.
Sunday August 9th Lynden will
go to Acme to play the Valley team
and the following Sunday they will
play the last game of the season with
Custer on the home grounds.

FARM ADVERTISING HELPED TO
MOVE BIG STRAWBERRY CROP

Cooperation between the newspa-
pers. business men and farmers,
saved many of the berry raisers of
Thurston county from a big financial
loss, and provided families in the
city with canned fruit for next win
ter.
Strawberries were becoming drug
on the market and something had to
be done or the farmers would lose
out. County Agent E. 3. Stoo.ey.
working with the Chamber of Com
merce and the Farm Bureau, arrang-
or for a strawberry week. Cne-half
page advertisements of "Can Your
Stra wberries Now" We're run for
three days. and the papers gave gen
erously of space including some front
page headliners
Tie campaign resulted in many
folks putting up berries who never
canned before. and many growers
were saved from what might have
meant bankruptcy.
In the Olalla valley, Kitsap county
there was a heavy crop of strawber-
ries and no sale. News stories were
run about the crop and as a result
1890 crates were harvested in one
day by home Gamers who came and
picked the berries. These two exam.
pies illustrate the value of the coun
ty papers to the farmer in disposine
of his produce, if he will but use thai

LINDEN ASKED TO AID
CHILDREN'S HOME
Local Citizens Urged To Help; Org
anization Has Aided Eight Little
Folks From Here

An appeal to the people of. the
the Washington Children's Home So
ciety, is being made this week by DR.
George A. Sheafe, state superintend-
ent, and Rev. L. ]. Covington, repre-
the organization. Contributions are
being made on generous scale here.
Eight Lynden children have been
cared for by the Society in the last
miliar with the aims and work OF
. the institution. From Whatcom Coun-
, ~ alone, the Society has cared for
160 children since 1917.
DR.. Sheafe and Rev. Covington ad-
dressed the congregations of Lynden
churches on Sunday, and told Of the
scope of the Society.
I'VE are getting many applications
for children from the Lynden dis
trict on this trip said Rev. l.. J.
Covington today. 1--WE count this sec
tion one of the best in the State in
which to place children.
Here's just what the Washington
Children's Home Society does. 1t
provides proper care and parental
protection for children in distress. 1t
safeguards any child in danger be-
cause of neglect or dependency. 1t
provides temporary care in boarding
homes for children of broken and dis
integrating families without legally
separating them from their parents.
when natural ties are broken, it
places children in other family circles
believing that family life for the
child is the best medium for rearing
a good citizen whether the family life
is given in the parental home, with
relatives or with foster guardians.
1.-THE chief aim of the Society is
to see that every homeless or neglect
ed child placed in it's custody, has
the home care and sympathetic over
sight of someone interested in the
child as an individual rather than as
one of a group of children.
1T co-operates with the Juvenile
Courts in Child Welfare service and
with every other agency by which a
child can be benefited.
1T answers every call OF child
neglect and abuse anywhere in the
State of Washington and affords aid
and protection.
"The neglected child taken by the
Society is given temporary care and
treatment in a receiving home and
prepared for normal family life. If
the child is physically or mentally
i'll upon coming to the Society, prop
er treatment and care is given until
we'll and then a home is provided. AT
ter placement of children in foster or
boarding homes, it keeps close super
vision of them"
Subscriptions for the Washington
Children's Home Society may be left
at the First National or Peoples
State Bank.

LINDEN WOMAN DESCRIBES
VISIT TO WONDERFUL LAKI

Mrs. Allie Stark Finnell and her
daughter. Jeanette. enjoyed a mo-
tor trip to Crater Lake this month,
and wrote the following description
of their visit:
Il think it would be of interest
neighbors have had the opportunity
to visit Crater Lake tone of the real
wonders of the world) in Southern
Oregon.
ION the 3rd of August we, Jean
nette and /, in company with the
Fl. +. Maltby family, left Seattle by
automobile for Crater Lake. arriv-
ing here at 1880 p. m, August 9th.
We didn't hurry and enjoyed the trip
every bit OF the way, excepting possi-
bly, the long detours.
"Tbe surprises of the trip were the
81 II III '.,l.-a--a,,id, ,arrbards on a thou
sand hills, as we'll as the Ohio Brid-
ges.' | can't imagine any reason for
covering the bridges in this country.
If l were to leave Puget Sound, sure
ly, Medford, Oregon, would be my
choice of a place of residence. The
Salem is beautiful, beautiful.
climbing the rim this morning
we had a view of Shasta. / wish it
might have been nearer, but it is too
pecially as we intend to return to
Portland by the inside route. We
prefer to risk the heat rather than
retrace. | shall not undertake to
give my impressions of the wonderful
lake. Irwin Cobb described it splen
didly in You Betcherland.' in the
Saturday Evening Post a few months
ago.
Fancy a perfectly round lake
with water indigo blue, not sky blue
but dark blue. Wonderful is all you
can say when looking upon it, A
lake miles wide, with a known
depth of 1000 feet, walls around 1t
from one to two thousand feet above
the water. The trail leading down
to its edge is over a mile long and
hard climbing at that. The road
around the lake. which is 35 miles,
most of the distance is a double rim,
giving one glorious views of wonder
full mountains and lakes, as well as
of Crater Lake. The altitude of Cra-
ter Lake is 1900 feet. 1t is estimated
by geologists that Mt. Masjama was
originally 10000 feet high. The ev-
more intensely blue as you near the
surface 'Colloidal Suspension what
ever that may mean is the latest
theory advanced to account for the
color of it.
We left Crater Lake Lodge Mon
day morning on our return journey
by way Of the Central Highway
Our road led through pine forests
where many of the trees We're 4 u
and feet in diameter. Nothing else
of interest happened until we reach
ed the town of Bend, a bautiful city
on the Deschutes river. 1t was here
= that we found the best hotel of the
whole trip, The Pilot Butte Inn
where they gave us an abundance OF
everything without trying to take all
of our money.
From Bend to The Dalles was q
succession of buttes and canyons Il
be crossed, which afforded all tn,
thrills needed for a life time. TIL,
