PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
ASKS PRAYER FOR PEACE.

By the President of the United
States of America. a Proclamation;
Whereas. great nations of the
world have taken up arms against
one another, and war now draws mil
lions of men into battle whom the
counsels of statesmen have not been
able to save from the terrible sacri-
fee; and
Whereas, in this, as in all things,
it is our privilege and duty to seek
counsel and succor Of Almighty God,
humbling ourselves before Him, con-
Tossing our weakness and our lack
of any wisdom equal to these things;
and
Whereas, it is the especial wish
and longing of the people of the
United States in prayer and counsel
and all friendliness to serve the cause
of peace;
Therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day of October next, day of
prayer and duplication, and do re-
quest all God-fearing persons to re-
pair on that day to their places of
worship, there to unite their petit
tons to Almighty God that, overrul-
ing the counsel of men, setting
straight the things they can not
govern or alter, taking pity on the
nations now in the throes of conflict,
in His mercy and goodness showing
a way where men can see none, He
his children healing peace
again and restore once more that
concord among men and nations,
without which there can be neither
happiness nor true friendship, nor
any wholesome fruit of oil or
thought in the world; praying also
to this end that He forgive us our
sins. our ignorance of His holy will,
our wilfulness and many errors, and
leads us in the paths of obedience to
places of vision and to thoughts and
counsels that urge and make wise.
In witness whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
Done at the city of Washington
this eighth day of September, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and fourteen, and of the in
dependence of the United States of
America the one hundred and thirty
ninth.

The WAR AND THE
AMERICAN FARMERS.

VIII tic buFOpVdu Wufs W eo~S''e
an increase demand for agricultur-
al products. benefit the formers Of
this country? 1t is by no means GER
tain that it will.
The savings Of the world in one
year NAV amount to S.. 1000 600, 900
or SC. 900. 900, 900; the war will de-
stroy that amount of wealth in three
or four months. Consider the re-
sultipg scarcity Of capital through
out the world. the consequent re-
stric,ion of production. the dimin-
ished supply Of labor. the increase in
the rate IF interest. Farmers can
not escape the effects of such econo.
mic disturbance.
Suppose that farm products do ad-
vance; does it fellow that there will
be re al increase in pr oft to the far
mer? Will farmers as group lose
more than they gain on account of
the higher prices they must pay for
everything they buy? Farmers are
consumers as vel as producers; they
are buyers as we'll as sellers. even o.
agricultural products. :
Suppose that wheat goes to 81 so
or 81 bushe. How many farms in
one hundred raise wheal? Only
twenty three. Consequently, seventy
seven farmers must pay exorbitant
prices TO twenty-three farmers for
one of the principal artic es of food.
Most wheat farmers buy their -four
from the merchant; they will have to
surrender in that way some of the
profit that they may receive for I'M
ground wheat.
No farm produces everything, or
nearly everything. that its owner
needs. Potatoes grow on only one
half of all the farms. end sweet po-
tatoes on only eighteen per cent OF
them. Cotton may go to fifteen or
twenty cents pound, but we must
remember that less than one. quarter
of the farms raise cotton. Sugar,
dry beans and rice are raised on only
a small proportion of our ia ms.
Moreover. if the war continues. the
prices of clothing. and Of almost all
sorts of manufactured goods, will
rise.
lis not even certain that there
will be an increased effective Euro
pean demand for our farm products.
not excepting wheat. Europe has
suspended credit payments and will
take only gold; consequently it must
pay god. AS rule. the nations at
war are not paying, and the loan
market Of this country has been
closed to them. Cotton manufact-
uring is paraly zed in the warning ma
tions. which have taken yearly about
two-thirds Of our crop. Fruits have
been exported from the United
States to the countries at war to the
value of S20.0O0.000 a year. That
demand has ceased absolutely.
We have no meat that we can af-
ford to export. II we do export it.

a wssteful slaughter of immature
cattle. 1t would be misfortune both
to the farmers and to the nation to
increase or even to continue the over
81 aughter of meat animals that has
occurred in recent years.
The European war cannot really
benefit the farmers of the United
States. Small groups of producers
here and there may profit by it. but
when the actual results of the great
upheaval begin to make themselves
felt. the farming population as
whole must face a diminished mar
ket and lower prices.-Youth's Com

COUNTY PRISONERS SAVE MONEY
Gang Replankins the Bridge Show
Success Of Honor System

Sheriff Remer's experiment with
the honor system for penal insti-
tutions is proving a good success
tor Bonner county. Before the
iuclement weather set in he put q
gang of county prisoners upon the
work of replanking the county
bridge across the river at Sand
point. A gang of eight men is
doing the work under the super
vision of County Surveyor Chaf6ns
and during the warm days of last
week $50 feet of planking was
accomplished day. The prisoners
are allowed eight days time on
their Jail sentences for six days
work and all the added incentive
needed has been a liberal supply of
tobacco. 1t is figured that with
good weather the work of replank-
ing the bridge can be performed in
from 40 to so days and the work
will represent a saving to the
county in labor of about 81 900.

FOR HUMBIRD
SILVER CUP
Third Annual County Declamatory
Contest Will Occur On May
in Standpoint Hall
CLOSE CONTEST IS EXPECTED
This Year May Decide Permanent
Possession of Trophy

The third annual public school
declamatory contest for Bonner
county will be held at the Rink
opera house in Standpoint Friday
evening, May /. Each of the IL
districts in the county is expected
to send two contestants. Several
of the districts have already held
their inter-class try-outs and others
will soon take place. The Sand
point school holds its try-out to-
night.
The first of this series of county
declamatory contests took place
two years ago, at which time Miss
Edith H. Wells of Boomers Ferry
captured the Humbird cup which
had been presented for the series.
Last year Miss Monica Chisholm
of Standpoint carried off the honors.
By the terms of the contest if the
same school in the county wins the
cup twice out of three times that
school shall keep the cup per-
manently. As Boomers Ferry and
Standpoint have each won it once,
it is evident that there will be a
heroic struggle this year by the
pupils of these schools to win it for
keeps.
Judges for this contest will be
selected by the county superinten-
dent and will be from out of the
county.
A county spelling contest will
also take place on the date of the
declamatory contest. This is new
undertaking on the part of Super
intendent ]. w. Ramsey. 1t is his
intention to make it an annual
event, if interest can be awakened
in it. The contest will occur on
the afternoon of May l, in the
court house. One contestant will
be allowed from each of the sixth,
seventh and eight grades of each
school in the county. Words will
be chosen from the Progressive
speller, so to be written and so
spelled orally. They are to be
difficult words in common use.
Three suitable prizes will be award
ed in this contest.

ALDRICH NOW
REGRETS CRIME
Says He Doesn't Remember Getting
Rifle to Shoot A. S. Waterman
Has Been Sick
MAY PLEAD EMOTIONAL INSANITY
Murderer Tells Of Circumstances
Leading to Recent Tragedy

don't remember getting my
rifle to shoot Waterman. All !
remember is getting mad when he
came to my house and started to
holler at me and started in to pul
the fence over on my land. !
haven been we'll for the past year
and have suffered severe headaches
which would come on suddenly in
the back of the head and l have
been very nervous and out of sorts.
l regret killing Waterman but
don't remember doing it.
Andrew Aldrich, who shot and
killed A. S. Waterman in a line
fence dispute at Boomers Ferry two
weeks ago Monday, made the
above statement to a newspaper
reporter at the county jail. He
freely discussed his case and
seemed to have nothing to conceal.
He told how he came into the Bon
uers Ferry country a dozen years
ago and took up homestead, how
he sold part of it and traded in a
part and became the possessor of a
small acreage across the Kootenai
river from Boomers Ferry, how his
quarrel with Waterman had been
of long standing and the line fence
dispute had resulted from what ne
claimed was survey made by a
surveyor whom Waterman en-
ployed and who did not run the
lines from the section corner but
from a corner post on Waterman S
land.
Aldrich employed G.. A. Bphrow
to defend him in district court
which convenes on April 10 for the
spring term. 1t is likely that a
defence of emotional insanity will
be made if it is not arranged for
Aldrich to plead guilty to a lesser
crime than first degree murder.
Under a recent enactment of the
Legislature it is left to the Jury to
decide in a verdict of first degree
murder whether the punishment
shall be hanging or life imprison-
ment.
