HAD THE FARM
LIFE FEVER
Fourteen-year- Boy Leaves Parents
In Spokane to Learn Rural
Joys
WORKED FOR BOARD NEAR TROY
Young George Smith and Step Mother
Can't Agree

Standpoint, Idaho Especial to the
Herald II don't like this city
life; it is too much make-believe
snd my mother used to trot me
,round and wear a slit skirt and
/ just got tired of it and ran away. "
Such was the explanation of a.
year-old George Smith who Sheriff
Remer went after to Troy, Mont.
Sunday. The lad was found at
work for his board on a ranch
near Troy. He was going to
school and was satisfied with the
world. He told the sheriff he did
not want to go back to Spokane
but if his father insisted he sup
posed he had to go. On arrival
here the lads father was called up
over the telephone and the boy had
a talk with him; told him where
he had been and said he was all
right and could care for himself.
But the father insisted that the
place for his youngster was at
home.
You needn't go to the expense
of taking me back to Spokane and
my father needn go to the expense
of coming up here after me" said
the self-reliant lad to the sheriff.
So the sheriff put him on the train
and took the boys word for it
that he would deliver himself to
his father.
When the lad ran away from
home few days ago he boarded a
train and came to Standpoint. He
told the sheriff he slept a night
here in the N. p. sand house and
left the next day over the Great
Northern for Troy where he knew
lad whose father had moved up
on ranch from Spokane. 1t is
supposed the lad got interested in
the life on a ranch from letters he
had received from his former
companion and when he disap
peared it was guessed where he hac
gone.
l never saw boy of his age 81
self-reliant, b" said the sheriff aftei
he had slowed the lad upon a Nor
thern Pacific train for home. H,
said he couldn't see anything t,
this city life; it was all sham ant
pretense and he wanted to be wher
he could work and things counted
He talked like a man. / hates
to see him go back.

The Boomers Ferry high school
basketball team returned Sunday
night from a two day trip to Libby
and Kalispell where they played
the teams representing those towns
on Friday and Saturday nights,
respectively.
The Friday night game at Libby
resulted in clean cut victory for
the Boomers team. Score Is to 13.
Boomers Ferry took the lead from
the first minute of play and was
ahead throughout both halves.
Unlike the other games played this
year the local boys were best in the
first half when they led by score
of Is to 4. Libby threw but one
goal so close was the guarding OF
Bangs and O'Callaghan.
Norton, together with the for
wards, played an aggressive game
Campbell, the speedy forward was
all over the floor and although he
threw no field goals was continually
working the ball to Kent and Nor
ton. Kent scored and Norton {
of the total count. In the SECOND
half Boomers played an open gam,
and in about fifteen minutes o
play found themselves in danger

Mr.. and Mrs. Chastek Entertain

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Chastek
entertained "a friends last Satur-
day evening at a bridge party
which proved to be most enjoy
able social event. The prizes for
the high scores were awarded to G..
w. Spoerry and Miss Mary Haw-
kins. Light refreshments were
served after the games.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Chastek
entertained number of her lady
friends at bridge. Mrs. c.. w.

Shaurette, star forward of the
Libby team, got away for three
goals putting Libby within striking
distance, only 4 points behind with
three minutes yet to play. Shau-
rette threw another goal just before
time was called bringing up the
total to thirteen.
On Saturday the locals went on
to Kalispell and played the Flat
head high school losing by score of
46 to ~. The large, slippery floor
bothered the local team and they
seemed to be playing below their
usual standard the first half.
Seeing that they could not over
take such a long lead the local
team resorted to a dribbling and
passing game the second half and
it surely was hoodoo'' to Kalis-
pell as they scored but FIVE goals
for total of Is points to 8 for
Boomers. The second half was
more closely contested. Over 400
people saw the game.
The next games for the local
team will be against Spokane and
then to Priest River and Newport.

SPOKANE VS.
BONNERS FERRY
Big Basketball Game To Be Played
Here Tomorrow Night--Locals
Have Fast Lineup
WON FIRST CAME---LOST SECOND


The biggest event of the basket
ball season will take place at Kent S
Hall tomorrow night, February
14th when the local team will have
as their opponents the North
Central High School aggregation
of Spokane. This is the first time
in the basketball history of Boomers
Ferry that a Spokane team has
played here so they are entirely an
unknown quantity, but Judging
from their enviable record of 10
victories and two defeats they will
come prepared to get Boomers
Ferry's scalp. No estimate of the
relative strength of of the opposing
teams can be made as neither has
played against the same team.
Kalispell were easy victims for
Spokane three weeks ago but if we
stop to consider that they played
Spokane after going through three
gruelling contests at Libby, White
fish and Boomers Ferry the score is
no fair estimate of their strength.
The Spokane team plays in Kalis-
pell Friday night and from that
score we should have some idea OF
the outcome of this game. Lets
break their winning streak. The
dope is slightly against us but
with house full of enthusiastic
rooters" we have an advantage
The game is called at 9:15 p. m. in
order that all storekeeper clerks,
etc. may attend. If you appre-
ciate seeing a first class basketball
contest come early and get a good
seat. The management is under
an expense of $500 in bringing
Spokane here so plan not to miss
it. Saturday, Feb. 14th, 9;15 p. m
Coach Carlson has IS boys out
working for position on the team
so a strong lineup can be selected
The team that will start Saturday
night will be as follows:
