POOL OF COAST EGGS
WILL HELP LYNDEN
Will Stop Competition Between
Other States and Washington
in Eastern Markets

A move that may be of great
profit to the Lynden district
directly was made last week, with
the organization of single mar
keting agency to handle eggs
from the cooperative organiza-
tions in all the Pacific Coast
States. .."--'.
Included in the organization
are the Washington Cooperative
Egg and Poultry Association, the
Oregon association, the Central
California Association, the South
ern California Association, and
the San Diego Association.
A central agency will handle
the sales in the East of these
groups, and will be able to do
away with competition among
them. Heretofore, Lynden eggs
have been competing with Cali
fornia eggs on the New York
market, and prices were lowered
by shipping many carloads OF
Pacific Coast eggs independently
to unload on one market.
J. H. Guffey of Washington is
chairman of the new organiza-
ton.
Eggs started on the upward
swing of the season this week
with a one cent advance.

TO FINISH PAVING
'LYNDEN-SUMASR ROAD
Lynden Will Be Linked BY Pave.
mcnt To Every Town in County
OH its Completion

Bids have been called for by
the county commissioners for the
paving of the five and one-half
mile strip of gravel road on the
Lynden-Sumas highway, and the
improvement will be made this

importance in Whatcom County.
Ferndale, Blaine, Custer, Ever

linked to Lynden by hard-sur-
faced highways.
The pavement will start at the
north end of the Everson-Nook-
sack pavement, and will proceed
north on the state road, connect
ing with the Lynden road, and
ending at the westerly limits of
the city of Sumas. Bids will be
opened April II.

GOVERNOR SAYS STATE WILL
NOT BUILD FERNDALE ROAD

Ferndale's fears of being left
at the far side of the Pacific
Highway are ungrounded for the
present, at least.Such is the gist
of a letter received last week
from Gov. Louis F. Hart, in reply
to communications addressed him
in protest against the announced
location of the highway from Bel
lingham north, made recently by
State Highway Engineer James
Allen.
Il beg to advise you thai the
Pacific Highway has not been
located through or around by
Ferndale" the governor says in
his letter, "but that we have been
content to use the old road which
we will perhaps continue to use
until other sections of the Pacific
Highway are completed. There are
no funds available for work on
the Pacific Highway near Fern.
dale and neither do we anticipate
any.
when the Pacific Highway is
completed all the way through
from Blaine to Vancouver with
the exception Of these small gaps
where we are able to detour ovel
other roads, then we may go bacl
over and fill in these gaps IL tn,

LYNDEN BANKS WILL
CLOSE EARLY ALSO
Beginning Monday, Financial In.
stitutions Will Maintain . to
3 Schedule

Beginning Monday, the ma
jority of Lynden's business in
stitutions will open at Z a. m.
and close at p. m, except on
Saturdays, the new schedule be-
ing effective until October 1.
Coineident with this new pro-
gram of the stores, the Lynden
banks will stabllsh a new daily
schedule, with hours from 9 a. m.
to 8 p. m. daily. This will be a
permanent change.
Although other banks in the
county have long had 10 to
O'Clock plan, the Lynden banks
have been giving their customers
the benefit of an extra hour of
service in both the morning and
afternoon. The difficulty of clos
ing up the daily books after 4
o'clock without night work, made
it necessary for the banks to es-
tablish three o'clock as the hour
of closing.
The following letter announc-
ing the change was sent out this
week by the Peoples State Bank
and the First National Bank:
In line with the practice of all
the other banks of the County
and the country generally, the
banks of Lynden will, on April
3rd and thereafter, close every
afternoon at three O'Clock instead
of four as heretofore.
This move has been under con-
sideration for some time and is
made necessary by the growing
mass of detail work incident to
modern banking, making it quite
impossible, when closing the door
at four O'Clock, to clean up the
work of the day before six o.
clock.
Many people do not realize
that the bulk of a banks work
must be done before and after
so-called banking hours, and
that there is certain routine
that must be performed each
day; certain tasks that must be
done before leaving the office
just as religiously as a dairyman
with his cows, or housewife
with her meals; tasks that must
be completed before the books
are ready for the next days bus
mess.
There will be no change in the
hour of opening. nor in the prac-
tice of remaining open Saturday
afternoon as heretofore until
three o'clock, and we sincerely
trust that our customers and the
public generally will approve and
cooperate with us in this new
time schedule which is still more
liberal than most of the other
banks of the county, the majority
of whom open at ten O'Clock in
stead of nine, and close Saturday
noon.

Importance of Thrift by the People

TN A letter to the American Banker,
secretary of the Treasury Mellon ex-
plains the policy of the government
in the sale of treasury savings certifi-
Gates. The letter answers the appeal
of the Kansas State Bankers associa-
ton requesting that the federal gov
eminent stop the sale of these certlfi-
Gates because the practice is detri-
mental to the agricultural interests
of that state.
The letter states that the govern
ment has no intention in it's savings
campaign of entering into competition
with existing banking agencies and
that the interests of the treasury and
of the banks are not at all in con-
fiict in the promotion of savings among
the people. Secretary Mellon says
that he would welcome greater coop
