T. J. JONES is CHAIRMAN
Chance for the Small Investors To
Do Their Bit.

Twenty dollars saved by every
resident of Boundary county is the
goal that has been set for the War
Savings Loan campaign that start
ed last week. ]. H. Hawley, of Boise,
state director of the campaign, es-
Inmates the population of this county
at $500, and upon this basis allots
100000 as the sum this county is
expected to lend Uncle Sam through
the war savings loans.
The stamp sale will continue for
one year, but during the first three
months every family in the country
will be urged to get into the came
and start one or more collections of
savings stamps. Once well started,
the plan will be so popular, those in
charge of it believe, that it will car
ry itself to success without great
urging on anybody's part.
t. j. Jones has been appointed
county director of the campaign for
Boundary county. Mr.. Jones will
appoint community directors in all
precincts in the county, and within
a few days there will be a COM
plete organization, it is hoped, push
ing the campaign in this county.
The plan of the war savings cam
paipn is based on the sale of stamps
There are 25 cent stamps and Sc
stamps. The % cent stamps have
fixed value; they will always BIZ

ORGANIZATION
AILSHIE HERE THURS
DAY TO ORGANIZE COUNTY
DEFENSE LEAGUE
GOVERNOR MUST APPROVE
Meeting Held at Noon at The Grill
Was Well Attended

Preliminary steps were taken
Thursday at MONDAY luncheon held
at the Grill and attended by some
90 business men and citizens, to-
ward the organizing of a Boundary
County defense council.
The meeting was attended by for
mer supreme court judge, ]. F. ALL
SHE, of Occur d'Alene, who is a
member of the Idaho Defense coun-
ell and who is devoting his time to
the organizing of county defense
leagues in Northern Idaho.
G. F. Weeks, of Occur d'Alene
City, and c. E. Arney, of Spokane,
who were here in the interests of
Red Cross work, were also honor
guests at the luncheon and gave
brief patriotic addresses.
Judge Ailshie told in a few words
CT the objects of the state and coun-
ty defense leagues. He stated that
no one could tell when the war would
end but that those in a position to
know seemed positive that it might
be years. He therefore urged that
every citizen settle down for long,
hard struggle.
He explained that the state defense
league is an organization which
works with similar organizations in
the various states under government
sanction and control. The objects
are to assist as a centralized body
in the various functions of the diff
ferent war organizations such as the
Red Cross, food administration, lib
erty loans, Y. Nj. c. A., ETC., and also
to act as an aid to the government
in keeping it in touch with public
war sentiment. Judge Ailshie, in
his talk said that in Kootenai county
the league had resulted not only in
reporting pro-Germans but had also
protected loyal citizens who were sus-
pected of disloyalty because of their
nationality.
A. j. Kent acted as chairman of
the meeting Thursday and following
Judge Ailshie' talk Mr.. Kent APP
pointed a committee composed of w.
7. James, o. c. Wilson, C. w. King,
Mrs. F. E Murray and A. A. McIn-
tyre to submit names of citizens
competent to act as members of
Boundary county's defense league.
The committee selected the follow
ing persons whose names will be
submitted to Gov. Alexander for his
approval and appointment: M. P.
DeWolf, t. j. Jones, Douglas Palmer,
c. w. King, Mrs. F. E. Murray, l..
N. Brown, f. A. Shultis, Mrs. Fl. A.
Gale, E. f. Fry, w. T. James, Glenn
Gorsline, H. ]. Peterson, Boyd Spring,
M. F. McAnelly.
The selections made of Boomers
Ferry people was with the idea of
having represented on the Defense
league the heads of various patriotic
organizations such as the Red Cross,
Liberty Loan drive, Thrift Stamp
Sale, food conservation, women's
registration, commercial club Farm
er's Union, etc.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1917-12-18

until 1928, when the government will
redeem them for So. The holders of
these stamps get the benefit of this
substantial increase, which amounts
to four per cent interest, compound
ed every three months. The credit
of the United States is as much be-
hind every stamp as it is behind a
Liberty bond, and the investment is
splendid one from every point of
view. The main thing, however. is
that the government is counting on
raising two billion dollars by this
plan during the next year, and it
will take united support on the part
of every citizen to put it across.
Unlike the big bond campai'
this is not game in which the big
corporations and wealthy individuals
can assume a large share of the
load. No individual or firm is per-
mitted to own more than $1,000 worth
Of stamps. The plan was invented
to give the poor man a chance to
do his part in financing the war,
and the government took precau-
tons to see that the rich man could
not take The privilege away from
him.
The names of all those who start
savings stamps collections will be
published, if possible, just as the
names of bond buyers were published
during the bond campaign, and the
hope is that the name of every man,
woman and child in Boundary county
will appear on this "Roll of Honor"
The stamps are now or sale at all
postoffices and in the banks.
A savings stamp certificate makes
a fine Christmas present, by the way.

day in Washington, D. c., in the
home of the Red Cross is tablet
of stone engraved as follows: "a
Memorial, built by the government
of the United States and patriotic
citizens, to the women of the North,
to the women of the South, held in
loving memory by a now united
country. That their labors to miti
gate the sufferings of the sick and

My appointments for the Red
Cross Christmas drive consist prin-
cipally Of ladies. All the teachers
of the county are working for this
drive in their respective districts.
Out of 40 educators in this county
but three are men. Because Of this
large committee of women workers
l feel certain that Boundary county
will get its full quota--600 mem
bers.
1t is the desire of the American
Red Cross that memberships expire
at a uniform date and it is hoped
that most members will waive the
unexpired portion of their member
ship and favor the organization with
a Christmas to Christmas member
ship. When the solicitors cannot
secure this waiver they should give
receipt showing expiration one
year from the date of the expira-
ton of the present membership.
Every minister is expected to
preach a Red Cross sermon during
this drive and l earnestly request
every man, woman and child to be-
come a member of the American
Red Cross.

campaign. Do your bit and show
your colors.

in town to show Red Cross placard
in his display window and with the
small stamps show the number of
Red Cross members in the establish
ment. If you have no Red Cross
emblem call on any teacher of the
Boomers Ferry or NorthSide schools.
They will furnish you one.
Every citizen of the United States
and every alien should be a member
of the Red Cross. Why? Because
the Red Cross relief work is for all
humanity. 1t extends from the north
to the south pole-from east to west.
You will find the Red Cross at the
scene of the greatest disasters of
the world. l recall a few of these:
the Dayton, Ohio flood; the San
Francisco earthquake; the Johnstown
flood; the Mississippi flood; the
Omaha tornado; and the greatest of
all-you find them in all the war
stricken countries. The Red Cross
work appeals to every honest man
and woman in the United States
The humane and charitable work be-
ing done by this organization in the
war may be the means of bringing
home your boy or your neighbor's
boy.
The Red Cross is the only volun-
teer organization which is author
lied by your government to render
aid to our naval and land forces in
time of war Any other society de-

so through the American National
Red Cross.

JUST PLAIN FACTS

The war will not "be over
by spring"
By that time releases on
the Russian front may en-

their forces on the western
front by a million men.
For us the war has but
begun.
Begun in grim and deadly
earnest.
Just now three
thousand miles of sea and
the British fleet keep the
contest in Europe.
But our boys are there.
By spring there may be a
million of them and soon
another million.
And behind them two mil
lion reserves.
And back of them two or
three millions in training.
Vast numbers of these
boys will lay down their
lives that Government of
the People,. by the People,
for the People shall not per
ish from the EARTH"
The most that we can Of
fer is so very little COM
pared with what they offer.
They are wide awake and
alert.
We must be wide awake
and alert.
We must work harder and
create more of everything
that is essential, either of
itself or to facilitate our
progress in the war.
We must take the Liberty
Loans as fast as they come
and take them with thank
full spirit.
We must contribute to the
Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
We must pay the war tax
es gladly.
We must eliminate waste
Of food products.
We must, as far as pos
sible, confine our consump-
ton of food products to the
kind not required for N'lr
army and our allies ARM,
We must eliminate all I'M
necessary products made of
materials required for war
purposes.
We must do these things
as individuals, if we are to
win the war.

Walter Hendricks Called

The county exemption board has
notified Walter Hendricks, of Port
hill, to report here on December 10Th
preparatory to being sent to Camp
Lewis at American Lake, to COM
plete the Boundary county quota of
the National Army.
Hnedricks goes to American Lake
to take the place of Harry Peterson
who was drafted, served a month and
was honorably discharged on account
of ill-health. When Chauncey Guth-
RE was sent to American Lake the
local exemption board were under
the impression that this county would
not be called upon again for drafted
men.
