Weeds Should Be Cut

The Civic league calls the atten-
ton of the residents of Bonners
Ferry to the excessive growth of
weeds along the sidewalks and al
leys, in vacant lots, etc. The wet
spring followed by extreme hot wea-
Their has caused these "undesirables"
to grow with amazing rapidity. Now
is the time to cut them down and
dispose of them; if allowed to re-
main until they become tough and
dry they will will be a more diff
cult problem to deal with, also if all
the weeds now flourishing within the
limits of our town are permitted
to remain and bear their usual album
dant crop of seeds it means that
next season the evil will be many
times increased.
Every resident and property owner
should consider it his duty to get
rid Of the weeds not only on the lot
he occupies but also along his side
walk and alley; by each one of us
doing our share in this matter or
little city will present a neater and
more attractive appearance and the
assing tourist end visitor in our
midst will have q higher opinion of
cur Give pride and progressivencss

Seed Growers Meet

The stockholders of the North
Idaho Seed Growers association held
a meeting Saturday afternoon at
Brody's drug store and heard a re-
port of the business done the past
season by Manager G. w. Spoerry.
The association sold at least a third
more seeds this season than last and
Mr.. Spoerry states that the money
taken in this year will be doubled
next year if the proper publicity
is given. The stockholders agreed
upon the payment of 33 1-3 per cent
to growers whose seed had been sold
by the organization.
Another meeting of the associa-
ton will be held soon and plans will
be laid for the coming season and
manager will be selected for the
year.
1t is plainly evident to all who
have watched the progress of the
seed growing business in this COM
munity that it is a profitable one
The farmer who grows seeds gets
three to four times the returns he
would if he planted his ground to
crops. If the farmers of the Koo-
tenai valley and Boundary county
will unite in the effort to boost
seed growing they will soon build up
business which is now making
other communities rich. There is al
ready a demand on the market foi
northern grown acclimated seeds
They are cheaper and better and g
little more advertising will double
and treble the present demand. SEED
prices are certain to be high foi
several years to come and an oppor-
tunity is assured of reaping big
returns from small acreage.

Notice to Citizens

In this exceedingly dry time it is
necessary to conserve the water in
the supply tank for use in case of
fire. You all know the proper regu-
lations to observe. Let each citizen
see to it that he uses water as
sparingly as is possible. No taps
should be allowed to run at night.
The draining of the tank during the
night would be a sad state of
affairs in case a fire should break
out. Every effort is being made by
the water company to keep the tank
full, and the cooperation of citizens
will be appreciated.
By Order of the Trustees of the
Village of Bonners Ferry.

A. A. Gilmore Coming Here

Farmers Union Local No. SO, has
been notified that A. A. Elmore, the
first organizer of the Farmers
Union in the northwest, will be
with them at an early date. He
expects to take into consideration the
prospects for a world shortage with
the surplus already depleted and to
urge the growers not to contract
believing the law of supply and de-
mand should bring the price to the
farmer and not give the differential
between the price he receives and
the exorbitant price paid by the con-
sumner to those urging him to con-
tract his crop now.
Mr.. Elmore is an earnest, forceful
speaker and members of Local No
SO are assured of a rare treat.

Interesting Inquiry

The attorney generals department
has had a rather interesting query
from A. c. Hawkins, a resident of
Boundary county who has a lease
on state land covering the northeast
quarter section SO, township 40 north
of range west. He wants to know
if he had the right to remove and
sell a large amount of scrap iron
on the state land which he has
under lease. This land was covered
with timber at one time but a log
ging company built a log road over
it and removed the timber. After
wards it tore up the tracks and
abandoned the road. Mr.. Hawkins
came in and leased the land from the
state. AS all metals have gone up
in price since the war started, scrap
iron has its value and is worth its
salvage. Realizing this other par
ties than Hawkins have been taking
off the scrap iron left by the rail-
road. Hawkins wants to know if
he, as the man holding a lease on
the land and in temporary possession
does not have the first right. The
question also arises as to whether
or not the iron is not still the prop
erty of the company that built the
logging road over the land.-Boise

Sour Stomach

This is a mild form of Indigestion
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
ach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour stom-
ach take one of Chamberlain's Tab
lets to aid digestion.

worked on the substitute bill while the
senate continued debate on general fea-
lures OF the measure.
The senate will vote on the bill July
q. The substitute is generally similar
to the original administration bill, ex-
cept that power to control other in
dustries besides food and fuel has been
stricken out. II prohibits the manu-
faeture of distilled LIQUORS without pro-
viding for government purchase ot
