ON TRANS-CONTINENTAL TRIP
VIM. Warwicke Would Take Load of
Red Cross Supplies to New York.

VIM. Warwicke and family left
yesterday in Mr.. Warwicke's auto
truck for Spokane where they will
spend a few days while Mr.. War
wicke is making arrangements for
another transcontinental trip with
his truck.
Warwicke now plans to load his
truck with Red Cross supplies in
Spokane and to take the load across
the country over the route of the
National Parks highway to New
York City where the consignment
will be loaded on an ocean liner
bound for France.
The van of the truck will be white
with huge Red Cross in the center.
The route will be drawn on this
covering and the names of all the
towns will be printed on it. Mr.
Warwicke will ask for a small con-
trlbution from each town through
which he travels, figuring that each
city will receive valuable advertis-
ing, by having its name on the route
and that be will thus be able to
finance his'trip.
1t is probable that if the trip is
made it will be the last one for the
truck which will be used as it is
expected that the truck will be kept
on exhibition in New York City as
the first machine of the kind to
make the trip across the continent
under its own power.

POTATO EXPERT WILL
COME TO B0NNERS FERRY

A representative of the state horti-
cultural department will come from
Boise in the near future in re-
Spouse to the request of G. w.
Spoerry, to inspect the potato plants
in various fields where his advise
is desired.
This horticulturist can ascertain
from the bloom of a potato plant
whether or not the potatoes are
diseased and all diseased plants are
pulled.
He will conduct his demonstration
only one demonstration will be made
but all the potato growers of the
county are invited to attend.
Mr.. Spoerry is securing the SER
vices of the state horticulturist in
order that he may sell his crop as
certified seed potatoes and so secure
higher prices. The potato expert
will return when the potatoes are
harvested, make a final inspection
of the crop and attach to each sack
certificate showing state inspec-
ton and guaranteeing the potatoes
to be free from all disease.
Next year the horticulture depart
ment plans to send a man to this
district in the planting season who
will demonstrate to the growers how
to thoroughly disinfect seed.
The services of the horticulturist
are free and it is hoped that all
farmers interested in Kidding potato
disease and who desire to get better
crops and more money for their po-
tatoes, will arrange to attend the
demonstrations. The time of the
first demonstration will be ANNOUNCE
ed later.

Treasurer Works Alone

County Treasurer w. T. James is
now handling the work of the office
without the assistance of Miss Dolly
Bruce who has been acting as as
sistant for several months. Mr..
James has completed a system of
books whereby he will show daily
balances of the various county funds
and under the new system he feels
that he can handle the work of the
office alone except possibly a few
weeks the first Of January and July
when the bulk Of the tax money
comes in. -.

The local exemption board has
not yet received final instructions
as to when to proceed with examina-
ton and to hear pleas of exemp-
tons.
Boundary county's quota was AT
but it is credited with IS enlist
ments and two adjustments and
hence only 80 men will be drawn.
County Clerk Stanley figures that
the list above will furnish nearly
enough for Boundary's quota after
all exemptions have been cared for.

Creston Pioneer Drowned

]. c. English passed through the
city Friday on his way home after
having been called to Creston by
the death of his father, Dan English
who was drowned a week ago Sun
day in a slough between Creston
and the lake. Mr.. English did not
receive word of his fathers death
in time to arrive at Creston for the
funeral.
Dan English was 68 years old and
had been a resident of the Creston
district since 1898. He is survived
by five boys and two girls.
After the body was found it was
examined by the Creston coroner and
no water was found in the lungs.
On this account it is believed that
the deceased suffered a sunstroke
and was probably dead before he fell
into the water.
]. c. English is now located at
Burke, Idaho. He is well known in
this district and for many years
was in business at Porthill where two
other brothers reside.

Interested in Volunteer
Fire Department

Local citizens are consider
ably interested in the move
ment to secure the organiza-
ton of a volunteer fire de-
partment-a movement which
was started a few weeks ago
by ]. r. Meeker.
The burning of the town of
Harrison has served as a re-
minder that Bonners Ferry
may suffer the same fate and
in fact fire here would be
more disastrous than the one
at Harrison.
At the present time the
city has no fire department
of any kind and there are
but few who would be able to
intelligently cope with a large
fire.
The matter is to be taken
up Thursday evening at 7:30
o'clock at a mass meeting
which will be held in the COM
mercial club rooms and all
those who are willing to join
volunteer fire department
are requested to attend.

Remember the date, July Both.
MRS. j. /. MONKS,
Temporary Chairman.

The Council of National Defense
was created by act of congress and
approved August 20, 1910. 1t is COM
posed of the secretaries of war, navy,
interior, agriculture, commerce and
labor. The woman's committee of
the Council of National Defense was
appointed on April 81, 1917, to CO.
ordinate the organized forces of the
women of the country in order to
secure greater efficiency in defense
work for the nation"
The name of the state committee
is the "Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense, Idaho
Division.
The object is to coordinate wom-
ems organizations and their working
forces in order to enlist at once the
greatest possible number in the SER
vice which the national crisis de-
mands. Each state division will be
expected to investigate the work I'M
der way, and so to coordinate activ-
tiles as to eliminate duplication and
overlapping.
Counties Will Organize.
+ The officers of the state division
will appoint a chairman in each coun-
W, WnOy IN ner turn, Will call To-
gether all the heads of all womens
organizations in her county for work
Immediately.
County units will elect officers to
correspond with the state division
and report such officers at once to
Mrs. K. /. Parky, secretary, at Boise,
and report also the number of wom-
en- in each county.
The first duty asked of this or
ganization by the Council of Nation
al Defense is to register every wom-
an in Idaho for service in whatever
line of work she can best serve the
nation, and to place in every home
the pledge card prepared by Herbert
c. Hoover for the conservation of
food. The government will send
through its organization in the states
the messages of the government to
the women of the country.

ASK THE WOMEN
TO ORGANIZE
WILL FORM AUXILIARY OF WO-
MEMS COMMITTEE OF THE
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.
WILL ORGANIZE JULY BOTH
Meeting Will Be Held at Kent's Hall
at O'Clock.

Word has been received from the
womens' committee of Council of
National Defense, Idaho division,
urging the women of this county
to "fall in line" and give all possible
aid to the project of food conser-
walton. To do this, it is necessary
we organize as a county unit, in
order to make sure that every woman
is registered and supplied with a
pledge card. 1t is only by system
that such an important work as this
can be properly done, and every
woman is earnestly urged to come
out to the meeting which is called
for Monday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
July 30th, at Kents' hall and learn
just what the nation is asking her
to do. There is no money required
from any of us in this special work.
On the contrary there is a chance
to learn much to our own advqn-
tagc.
II is especially urged that the
Presidents or heads of every wom-
ans organization in Boundary county,
or their representatives, make a real
effort to attend this meeting. This
means the aid societies of all the
churches, Pythian sisters, Eastern
Star, Rebekas, Royal Neighbors, w.
&c. T. u, women members of Farm
ers' unions, Readers Club, social
clubs, Red Cross-in fact each and
every woman's organization large Or
small. If the head of such organiza-
items cannot be present on the date
set, she is asked to appoint one of
her members to represent her.
By this, i is not meant that only
officers or proxies of women's or
CARNATIONS are desired. All women
of Boundary county are welcome,
but it is especially important that
every woman's organization be rep
resented. We are the soldiers in
bingham" whose help is just as es-
sential to the government in win ning
this war, as that of the SOLDIERS in
khaki"

DRAFT ARMY
IS SELECTED
NAMES OF THOSE IN BOUNDARY
COUNTY INCLUDED IN FIRST
DRAFT DRAWN FRIDAY.
COUNTY WILL FURNISH 81 MEN
Leonard Augustus Pierson Held the
First Number.

No event in the history of the
United States interested a greater
number of people than the drawing
which was held at the national cap
itol Friday for the purpose of Sc
lecting those who will serve in
Uncle Sans first draft army of
100000.
AS fast as the numbers were
drawn they were flashed over the
telegraph wires to every part of
the country. The first number drawn
was 25S. 1t is held in this county
by Leonard Augustus Pierson.
Following is the list of those
drawn in Boundary county up to
the Tooth number which affects the
draft in the county. The list is
not official and is not guaranteed to
be authentic owing to the fact that
there seems to have been some mis-
take made in Transmitting the num-
bers by telegraph; in view Of this
fact County Clerk Stanley informed
the Herald this morning that he
would notify each person in the
county drafted by registered mail
when and where thew must appear

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive TASlets-tle sub- stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re- suit of Dr. Edwards, determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with ca1omel His efforts to banish 1t brought out these little olive-co1ored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calonel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the, gums. So do strong liquids. It isl best not to take ca1onel, but to let Dt. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "duflness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and disordered liver, Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel sloggy' and 'heavy"' Note how they ''clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spir- 1s. 10c and 25c box. All druggists

POOR GIRLS AND RICH BEAUx

"We, ignorant of ourselves
 Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers
 Deny us for our good; so find we ! profit
 By losing of our prayers"
 It is quite a truth that few poor girls realize how great are their at fractions in the eyes of men in good circumstances. If a working girl is introduced to man of wealth, no matter hom much she may secretly admire him and realize that she has made an excellent impression upon him, she evades earnest request to call upon her. She is wont to doubt his sincerity. T cannot believe that he is really in earnest to want to call on me-" she tells her older sister, add ing, His home is one of luxury. Mine is plain, almost to shabbiness." There is no such thing as parlor in many a poor girls home. She must bring her company into the living room, which is usually the dining room, where the whole family congre- gate evening Of course, if he is greatly in love he would not mind it, for "love is blind' It is the sweet

He understands the situation as the rich young man may not. Poor girls should under stand that rich young men do not ex- pect them to live beyond their means. The rich young man likes to see an honest humble family gathered about it's firesjde. From them he can best judge the character which the daugh- ter is to develop. The girl looks sweeter to him in her plain little home and inexpensive dress than does the society girl in her silks and satins in the crowded reception rooms of wealth. The poor girl stands every chance of wedding the rich man whose admiration she has kindled. fe knows if he gained her love it

 In that room found my uncle, the General Robert, and the Gouvernen: Faulkner in deep consultation, and they both turned toward me with anx- iety in their faces.
 What did you make of the letters, boy?" asked my uncle, the General Rob- crt, with keen anxiety. The great gouyerneur was silent, and for the first time since had looked into his face my eyes did not glance in his direc- tion.
 They both announce the arrival on Tuesday of the Lieutenant the Count Ge Bourbon to sign the contracts con- corning the mules to be sold by the state of IIarpeth to the republique of France, sir," I answered in cold and formal voice and then stood at an at tent.on for any more questions.

 No. honored unclk," I answered.

But it was not to his secre tary of state that the great Gouver- neur Faulkner made his denial, but to his humble secretary, Robert Car who looked without fear into the very depths of those lightnings.
