Make Them Pals.

How much misery and crime
and unhappiness could be prevent
ed if parents would give their
children the impression that they
are their pals rather than a judge
Of their actions. So many boys
and girls are often in doubt
about something. They long so
for someone to whom they can
talk and who will understand
them. But many parents feel
that they must display no signs
of imperfection before their child
rem, they must not let them know
that they are only human with
human motions and desires. They
always take the attitude of fail
ing to understand upon those few
occasions when their children do
screw up courage enough to talk
to them. They always say, why
| never heard of such a thingl
I'm sure | never felt or did such
things when was young" Do
they really believe it when they
say it? For human nature chang
es very little in one generation.
Then, a year or two afterward
when some outsider tells them of
some misdeed of the child or
some bad habit which could have
been so easily corrected if taken
in the early stages but which has
been allowed to run on until 1T
has assumed really serious pro-
portions, the parent goes TO the
child and says, But why didn't
you come to me and tell me
about il" and he fails again to
realize he is at fault when the
child replies, "0h, | was afraid
because | knew you wouldn't un-
derstand."
Why will parents persist in the
foolish fancy of showing their
children and trying to show them
only that perfect side. If they
only knew how much it would
help the child to know that their
father and mother had struggled
through just the same tempta-
tions and trials that they are
struggling through before they
came out on top. Hurley News.

ALL NEW INSTRUMENTS
Eagle River Band Negotiat-
ing for Twenty New In
struments : Try EN- Out
This Week.

The Eagle River band is plan
ming a rather joyful meeting to-
morrow evening at their regular
practice night. Seventeen new
band instruments will have arriv-
ed by that time and will be tried
out on approval before the pur-
chase Is made. The reason new
instruments are desired is what
instruments the band now have
are of a hit-and-miss variety
some are high pitch and some are
low. and trouble galore has re-
suited. With the entire band
equipped with instruments of one
calibre there is a surety of a de-
cided improvement in playing.
The band now numbers twenty
good players and two new MEM
bers were added the past week
William Rand and Mr.. Eckhoff.
IL Is expected that a new band
stand will be given the boys by
local enthusiasts, and besides that
methods of adding money to their
treasury will be devised by the
time the concert season opens.
The new instruments will set the
band back something like Sl400
and it is for the benefit of the
public that there should be assis-
lance given To this organization
when the opportunity presents.

in Three Lakes, whereby he had
nabbed a dozen offenders of the

Rhinelander where they were to
have had a hearing.
From what can be ascertained
there has not been any sentence
melted out as yet, but that the
majority were placed under bonds
to appear in court at a later date.

cepJlng, MS dodglng ablllty, ana
accurate passing make him a val
liable asset TO the team. With
more weight coupled with his
present ability and the improve
ment which will come through
his careful carrying out of coach
ing instructions, he will be un-
beatable next year as guard.
Bent fought like a tiger during
the entire game. Handicapped as
he was by his serious illness of
last year, he has played hard and
consistent basketball the entire
year. He has a good eye for free
throws having made several rec
ords that show a higher percent
age than that held by big team
throwers. These qualities will
make him invaluable TO the team
next year.
Stein, as pivot man, has had the
ability TO outjump nearly all of
his opponents. He has ability TO
cover the floor and at times shows
flashes of splendid basket shoot
ing. In the Laona game he held
their star center, Johnson, to two
baskets. IL was this breaking up
of their team work by Stems ex-
cellent guarding that bewildered
them.
The youngest player on the
team, Belongy, has made re-
markable record considering his
age, experience and weight. La
ona had so much respect for his
shooting ability that they kept
one man on him all the time, play
ing a four-man ofense whereas
they had played a five-man adj
vance in all previous games. Be
longy is becoming an adept at
the pivot, quick stop, and other
tricks of the game which player
must master in order to be of ut
most service to his team. With
further improvement along these
lines and implicit carrying out of
coaching instructions he will be
the pride of next years team.
Hebard is the only player the
team loses. Always ready TO step
in when the opportunity came and
play a hard game, his loss will be
felt. He distinguished himself
especially when he played center
against Mattoon. During the sec
ond half Mattoon was held to an
even score largely due to his splen-
did guarding.
1t is possible that another game
will be played on the home floor
against Laona That team promis-
es to play us in case a loss to us
will not jeopardize their chance
to enter the Oshkosh tournament.

COUNCIL REDUCES
LYNDEN TAX LEVY
Makes Cut TO Eighteen Mills, Fol-
lowing Policy of One Mill Drop
Each Year

The Lynden city council voted
Monday evening to lower the
municipal tax levy to eighteen
mills, in spite OF shrinkage in
assessed valuation totals in the
district.
This levy will not provide the
$40, $4,000 specified in the city
budget, falling short about one
thousand dollars. but the council
believes that by economies prac-
ticed during the year, it can pro-
vide for this shortage.
Lynden has been steadily re-
ducing its levy and expenses. and
at the same time cutting down
its bonded indebtedness. Two
years ago, a budget of $14 4,270.-
SIS was adopted last year, this
was lowered to s12.179.24. and
this year a further cut Of $4,000
was made.
No taxpayers appeared Monday
evening to protest against any
items of the city budget. The
only change made in it was a
readjustment of the sums allowed
the library and the city park.
The library was granted $3.50 and
the park $3.50 by vote of the
the total for both pur-
poses remaining the same.

REV. H. X. PASMA TO
ACCEPT CALL SOUTH
Lynden Minister to Go to Missis-
sippi; Opportunity for Service
Great, He Says

Rev. H. X. Pasma has accepted
the call to become minister of
the Presbyterian Church in the
city of Charleston, Mississippi
of his decision was
made to his congregation Sunday.
Rev. Pasma will preach his
farewell sermon in Lynden on
October 20.
The Western District commit
tee of the Reformed Church in
America met in Chicago Tuesday
and passed resolutions asking
Rev. Pasma to remain in the Re-
formed Church, and wired Rev.
Pasma to this effect. Since the
opportunity for work in the
Southern Presbyterian Church
seems to offer a larger field for
service, Rev. Pasma felt that he
should accept the call to the
church in Charleston, however.
Rev. Pasma has served as the
pastor of the Reformed Church
on Grover Street for five years,
during which time he has been
active in civic affairs and has
given aid to many movements for
civic betterment. Since his ar
rival, the church building has
been remodelled, a splendid new
pipe organ installed, and an at
tractive modern parsonage erect
ed.
A congregational meeting has
been called for next Monday ev-
ening at s O'Clock.

ARRESTS MADE FOR
DIPPING IN RIVER
Game Warden Apprehends Hat
Net; Sportsmen To Protest

Although it's perfectly proper
for big cannery to trap a few
tons of salmon daily, the State
of Washington and its game auth
critics won't let Lynden farmer
dip a single salmon out of the
Nooksack River for his own use.
Porter and Bliss Hatley of Lyn-
den were arrested Saturday by
the county game warden for
using a dip-net, practice that
had been permitted for genera
tions up to last season. They We're
the first victims of the year of
the unjust ruling of the game
commission.
Lynden sportsmen are arranging
for protest meeting to be held
with the county game commission
in Bellingham, in an effort to
have the rights of local citizens
restored as far as river fishing
is concerned.
The Hatley boys had caught
no fish when arrested.

SEEK TO PREVENT
FIRES IN LYNDEN
Chief W. s. Baldwin Urges Lyn-
den People To Heed Suggcs-
tions for Saftey

October 2 TO is National Fire
Prevention Week, so designated
in an effort to reduce the nation
al fire loss which totaled $780,
100000 in 1921. Figures for
1922 are expected to show a
particularly heavy percentage of
loss in the Pacific Northwest, on
account of the bad forest fire
conditions. Insurance experts es-
innate that four-fifths of the
fire loss is attributable to care
lessness.
Lynden is taking a keen in
te"est in Fire Prevention Week.
Ministers will comment on the
purposes of the week from their
pulpits, and the city will be plac-
arded with fire warning signs.
Chief w. S. Baldwin urged the
people of the district to heed the
information in the following list
this week:
Don't use make-shift fuses.
Don't go away from electric
appliances that are turned on.
Don't use gasoline or other vol
atile liquids to clean.
Don't refill your gasoline lamps
and lanterns while they are burn
ing.
Look where your lighted
matches fall.
Don't smoke in bed.
Don't let children play with
matches or build bonfires.
Don't fail To mend defpcfiye
flues and chimneys.
Don't forget TO remove SCOT
often from chimneys-
Don't neglect to protect sur
faces from overheated pipes.
Don't put hot ashes into wood
en- boxes or barrels.
Don't fill oil lamps or stoves
by open flame light.
Don't let rubbish accumulate.
Don't fail to keep a bucket of
water and bucket of sand
ready for instant use.

LOCAL STANDARD OIL PLANT
NOW BEAUTIFUL GARDEN

If every business institution
would follow the example of the
Standard Oil Company as shown
in it's Lynden station, this city
would be a wonderful park. Ev-
cry Lynden citizen should take
journey up to the local plant to
see just what an attractive garden
it is.
Fine lawns, wonderful dahlias,
beds of roses, and splendid fruit
trees are among the features of
the park. The walks are neatly
bordered with strips of white.
and everything is as tidy as a
parlor.
The buildings are being painted
a battleship gray this week by
Cook and Bennett of Lynden. who
won the contract in competitive
bids with outside firms. Another
change made at the plant this
week was the addition of a new
lighter delivery truck with a de-
mountable tank. With this truck,
Manager T. R. Burns will be able
to give quicker service, and will
not be hampered by poor roads,
as was the case with the huge
tank wagon formerly used.
Aside from the benefits Lyn-
den derives in the away of swift
and convenient service by having
this station located here, the dis
trict gains to no small extent in
a financial way. Many dollars
are distributed for supplies To-
cally, and the station supports
three employees, who are working
for the community interests, and
are paying taxes here. Last year
the Standard Oil Company paid
S31690 in taxes on it's LyndeIs
property, representing an asses
sed valuation of $4,220.00.
