PROTEST AGAINST
NEW STATE ROAD
Ferndale Objects To Proposed
Ravcd Road Parallelling Pres
ent Highway

Whatcom County is becoming
aroused over the proposal Of the
State Highway Department tC
construct a new paved road from
Bellingham to beyond Ferndale
a district now adequately served
by a through concrete highway.
Repairs and widening at low
cost would put the present Bel
lingham-Ferndale road on fine
basis, SO that the plan for an
entirely new highway and an ex-
pensive bridge over the Nooksack
River is regarded as . foolish
waste of money.
Ferndale is off the route of
the new road, and that city is
formally protesting to Governor
Hart this week. The Ferndale
Record makes the following COM
ment about the proposed high
way
What is the state highway
building between Bellingham and
Blaine, a highway or speedway?
Ferndale wants to know because
Ferndale apparently is to be off
the Pacific Highway, as announc-
ed by Engineer Allen. Fern
dale is entitled to know. because
1t will be paying its share toward
this state highway which will
only touch Ferndale at one ex-
tremity.
The military character of the
proposed road leads to the belief
that war is feared and that
straight-line roads are needed.
The new highway is to be singu-
larry free of curves, a bee-line
from Bellingham to Blaine. Roads
now existing are too angular, 1t
appears, while the idea Of routing
tourists through the smaller
towns and the productive country
is secondary to their reaching the
border with the minimum exer-
ton on the steering wheel.
We want tourists to see Mt.
Baker, but they can't settle there.
We want them to see the Peace
Arch, but it will not beckon them
to live in its shadow. We want
tourists to see our farms and
towns, because they are the back
bone Of the prosperity of What
com county. And who, II he is
confronted with mile after mile
of straight, smooth wide roadway
through a portion of the country
poorly developed, will not "step
on her.?

Counting Their Chickens
Before THEY'RE Hstched

Hundreds of baby chicks are
offered for sale in The Tribune
want-ad department today. before
they're Matched. That's going
some, isn't 1t, because they'll be
sold before they see daylight.
What have you to sell?
A want-ad will do 1t. Only q
quarter.

Siry herd from grades to quality
(. tck is shown in an article sent
this week by the United
ties Department of Agricul-
te.
Mays d. S. Burch of the u.
NC Department of Agriculture:
kssSWhen you start to improve
! re- stock by grading up with
2rebred sires you will not stop
Nth merely the sires, nor will
y6u limit yourself entirely to
t1le grading process. You will
o6nuire some purebred females

I. of pure-bred livestock as well
II conducting the grading-up
(pcess with the other females.
Sre than that, you will acquire
Ioferal times as many purebred
males as you have males.
These results happened on
ore than 5000 farms in the
Sited States where purebred
+ les are used. Moreover. the
Elements hold true for all clas-
49, of live stock.
In the case of cattle the owner
N a purebred bull acquires on
N average seven purebred cows
besides his other cows that are
not purebred. With swine and
oheep for every purebred male
used there are about eight pure
bred females; and with poultry
the proportion is to 10. For
I horses the ratio Is not so large
6ne stallion to only two mares
yet the principle of getting pure
bred dams to go with purebred
nires still holds good.

tier Sires-Better Stock" cam

cussion concerning the merits
Of purebreds originated in the
department, but now, like a re-
turning tide, the favorable opin-
ions and reports of success which
attend the use of well-bred live
stock are rolling in.
A Pennsylvania dairyman who
is a member of cooperative
bull association states in a letter
to the department, II have been
a member of the Grove City Hol-
stein Fresian Bull Association for
4 three years. 1t is one of the best
Investments a small breeder can
make. l do not believe l would

A swine breeder in Washington
State tells of breeding an ordin'
ary SOW belonging to nearby
farmer to his own purebred boar
"Out of the litter" he adds, the
farmer raised hogs that took

CREDIT MEMS MEET.


The newspapers of the country did
not pay "a great deal of attention To
the annual convention of the National
Association of Credit Men in Indiana
polls recently, yet the credit system is
the salt" of the business world in
America. Without il the whole in
dustrial and commercial and proba-
bly, the financial systems would tum-
BILE like block house in a hurricane.
The credit system in America is
built on faith. trust and honesty. Most
of the country's business is done on
credit. From the small town express
ion of buying ION tick" to financing
a new railroad, the principle is the
same. Relations must be established
SO that the public can be trusted to
buy merchandise and then pay for it..
The public unquestionably has its
full share of the bargain to keep.
Fortunately the dead heads are get
ting fewer and fewer. Experienced
credit men recognize them almost at
sight and the usual courtesies are re-
fused them.
The credit men who met in Indiana
polls talked over the various phases
'Of their business, sought new ways to
make their departments more eff
Cient, and discussed the relationship
they bear to the public. Any man
who is honest can establish credit re-
2ations and most men in every COM
munity do business that way.
The credit men are after the fellow
who opens charge account merely
as means of defrauding some mer-
chant, all honest men hope their cf-
forts will prove successful,

4 terribly costly affair and II never
settles anything. The coal strike has
been ended, after months of strug-
Cling by both sides, hut there is no
assurance that there will not he an
other strike next month or next year.
The causes of the coal strike, what
ever they were, were soon lost sight
of and the contest became one of en-
durancc. each side determined To win
out over the other. That l. always
the way with every strike.
The coal con ,ummcrs will for
months to come pay for the strike.
The cost would be worth while if any
thing had been accomplished, if en-
,ployers and employees had agreed to
arbitrate their differences in the
future.
Ms;'Sc Ms &c, some day, the people at
large will rise in their might and nul
an end to strikes Maybe the strikers
and those against whom they strike
will realize the folly and futility of il
all. Let US hope 50.

Candidate Fields is advertising Il
3 coalition governor. This sort OF Il
thing is not well defined by the can
.didatr hat owing to the fact that
Mr.. Fields is running on the theory
q that he is not to say very much about
President Harding and the Rcpuhli-
can members of congress from this
state, it is presumed to be something
, foreign To anything the Republicans
have done for the people. Perhaps
! Mr.. Fields will explain it more def
initely when he gets out of the semi
arid district over to where there is
some water and, also, more Republi-
can members of congress.
1t is now almost certain that Sen
ator Harred is going to be so busily
engaged at Washington. passing tariff
/ bills, that he will not be able to make
series of speeches, telling the peo-
pl, of this state why John Fields
should hc chosen governor.
1t is rather remarkable that the
Republican candidate for governor,
John Fields, has been so diligently at
work for the past few weeks and

The Republican campaign handbook
contains an autobiography of James
Dennis Flynn, Republican nominee for
lieutenant governor. From reading
this article, we find that Mr.. Flynn
has always been a progressive man,
after editing several large New York
dailies, he began the publication of a
large newspaper at Sapulpa, and has
attained quite reputation in that To-
cality.
Another noticeable thing in the
Fields campaign is that John has ceas-
ed to lambaste the state school land
department for not foreclosing more
mortgages. Even as dense a man as
Mr.. Fields had no trouble in appre-
hending that this is not propitious
year for advocating foreclosure of
mortgages.
