FARMERS WEEK
in DECEMBER
Movable School Will Surely Come to
Bonners Fery-Department For
Women Added to School
PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED
District Must Agree to Pay Part of
Expenses

That the Idaho State Movable
School for farmers will be held in
Boomers Ferry sometime during
the month of December of this
year was practically assured this
week when Prof. r. B. Coglan,
superintendent of the state expert
mental farm at Standpoint, came
here to interview the officers of the
local Farmers Cooperative and
Educational Union and others
most interested, concerning the ad-
visibility of bringing the school to
this vicinity. The Farmers Unions
of Copeland and Moravia and other
nearby districts will be asked to
cooperate with the local union in
an effort to make the school a
grand success.
Three towns of Northern Idaho
will secure the movable school this
year-Couer dAlene, St. Maries and
Boomers Ferry The district in
which the movable school is held
must first present a petition asking
for the school and bearing at least
l so names, to Prof. w. II. DIN,
head of the extension school work
of the state. Those signing the
petition agree to pay such expenses
of holding the school as hall rent,
board and room rent for the lectur-
ers. The state pays all travelling
expenses and the salaries of the
lecturers and demonstrators.
This year a department for
women has been added to the
work of the movable school. Miss
Amy Kelley, domestic science in
stitute worker, and Miss Hooper
head of the domestic science depart
ment of the University of Idaho
will come here to give demonstra'
tons of domestic science.
Those who have attended the
movbb bic schools here to-fore held
in this county speak with the
highest praise of the benefit to be-
derived from attendance at thu
sessions. Every phase of farm
work is taken up and many inter
esting and educational demonstra
tons are held each day of thu
school.

Awarded First Prize At Bonner County
Fair-Arthur Stauffer Second.

All of the judges of the Sixth
Annual Bonner County Fair con-
fessed that they had a hard time
selecting the winners of the first
prizes in their various departments
but it is generally conceded that
the judge of the baby exhibit had
the hardest task in selecting the
most perfect baby from among the
AZ entries made. After a careful
consideration of all points the first
prize for the most perfect baby was
awarded.to Margaret Laschinger
the little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Laschinger. The second
prize was awarded to Arthur
Stauffer, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. J.
Stauffer's baby. Delmar Davis,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. O. S. Davis
held third place in the contest.
The baby of Mr.. and Mrs. James
McGlocklin held fourth place and
Mary Ellen the baby girl of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. r. Wiley held fifth
place. The contest was close one
and among the leaders the babies
were given place only by fractions
of points.

ON HORSEBACK
| TO CHICAGO
Betty Thorpe Enroute From Spokane
to Chicago Delayed Here By
Accident Wednesday
AUTO FRIGHTENED HER PONY
In Wild Race Animal Sprained Tendon
4 Lost Money Too

Twenty year-old Betty Thorpe,
a pretty, buxom Spokane lassie,
who started out from her home
town week ago last Wednesday
to make the trip to Chicago astride
her little bay pony, encountered
the first disaster of her adventur-
Gus journey this Wednesday
afternoon about ten miles from
Boomers Ferry.
Miss Thorpe tells that while she
was travelling along an auto came
up behind her. The pony became
frightened at the siren whistling o.
the auto and became unmanage-
able and in spite of the fact that
her predicament was plainly
evident and that she eXerted every
effort to signal to the racing auto
to slow up and pass by quietly the
two male occupants PERSISTED in
following at the pony's heels,
footing their siren and gleefully
enjoying the situation. At break
neck speed the pony and its rider
rode down and up the hills uutil the
pony was spent. Then the auto
slackened speed. Naturally Miss
Thorpe vented her ire which was
not much abated when the
occupants of the auto told her they
thought she was trying to race
with them.
Miss Thorpe figured that she
was lucky to have escaped without
personal injury but during the wild
flight of her pony she lost valu-
able packet containing notes of hei
trip and photos of scenes she hac
visited and last but not least, hel
supply of ready cash. Also, il
racing down hill the pony
spralned an ankle and Miss Tnorp,
has now lost three days here watt
ing for her pony injury to heal
Miss Thorpe states that she i
under contract with the United
Press association and the Spokan
Press to furnish stories of her ad
ventures which will be ILLUSTRATED
! with photos taken along the rout
| of her journey. When she lief
: Spokane she planned to reacl
Chicago in eight weeks. She will
meet brother at Bolton, Mont.
= who will accompany her on tn
trip through the Rocky mountains

PRIZE WINNERS
Complete List Of Awards Made =
Fair Probably not Financial
Success Pleased
SHIP MANY EXHIBITS TO ST PAUL
Will Show Productiveness Of Bonner
in Eastern States

Bonner County's Sixth Annual
Fair closed last Friday night, a
success as far as exhibits and at
tendance were concerned but some
thing of failure from the financial
standpoint. It is believed that
when all bills are paid the fair
management will be about $50 in
the hole. OF this amount the
county commissioners have agreed
to allow an additional appropria-
tional of 500. This year the
commissioners only gave the fair
association $500 while every other
year $500 has been set aside for
fair purposes. In spite of financial
difficulties the officials of the fair
are we'll pleased with the success
the fair scored last week and wish
10 take this opportunity of thank
ing those who lent their services
and the exhibitors for the part
they took to help the fair project
along.
Monday the greater part of the
prizewinning exhibits of the fair
were shipped by President Kent to
St. Paul, where they will be placed
in one of the Great Northern rail-
way company's demonstration cars
and be taken to all eastern points
to show the productiveness of Bon
ner county.
Last Friday evening the exhibit
ors of the fair made up a purse
and bought a pair of diamond
studded cuff links which were
presented to President A. J. Kent
in token of the appreciation of the
many exhibitors of the work and
time devoted by Mr.. Kent towards
making the fair a success.
The sweepstakes prizes were
won as follows; $4,000 silver cup
offered by the Great Northern rail-
way for the best exhibit of agricul-
tural and horticultural products
was won by c. w. II. Heideman;
