LONELY

A ship came into port today; It often happens,-only Many are leaving for home today While IT am so lonely, I received so many letters, I read them gladly-only They were full of happiness, While IT am so lonely. One read in sympathy, Telling of little folks only: This mother has her babies close, While I-l am so lonely, Another told of auto trips; did not envy-only It made me sort O homesick, For I-I am so lonely! l heard from Father-and Mother; loved their letters-only It's most year since l saw them And 1 am lonely, lonely, No friend is sought 'mong strangers, They may be cordial-only l miss MY OWN so far away; And IT am so lonely, l seek solace in music; It seems to help me-only Every song is full of tears, For I-l am so lonely The storm at present raging Is like my surging thoughts; The wind 1t sobs and moans aloud. It sounds so lonely, lonely. At last my eyelids close: All sadness passes-only Reunions with loved ones: At last. am not lonely. Dreams always fade, alas! And with them my loved ones-only The sun greets my vision l wake so lonely, lonely,

Boundary County
Idaho


is the extreme northern county Of
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from 50 to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
its infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed
No irrigation in this district. Good
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.

ByHearst Men
After They Fail Police
Order Anti Hearst
Banner Down

An antiHearst banner flown by
Louis D. Master in front Of his real
estate office in Flushing yesterday pro-
voked visits from three angry men
who said they were Hearst ennis
saries, and also involved him with the
police for the alleged violation Of y
city ordinance
According to a statement last night
by Master, the three men threatened
to see that he lost the license authoriz-
ing an automobile and, hacking bust
ness he conducts in Flushing, but
promised to make it worth his while
if he would sign a statement accusing
The New York Tribune of secretly
persuading him to show his banner.
The sign, which was painted on six
foot strip of cloth. read: ~ Do Not
Read the Hearst Newspapers"
Master declared that in ordering him
to remove the offending banner Cap
tain Peabody, of the Flushing station,
said: 1--WE don't want any hard feel
ings against the Hearst papers here"
Captain Peabody denied later that he
had made such statement, and said
that he acted as he would have acted
against any citizen who hung an un-
licensed sign over the city sidewalk.
II put out the sign on my own ini-
tiative," said Master. 81 had made up
my mind that no patriotic citizen
would read Hearst newspapers, and
decided that the good people of Flush
ing ought to know how l felt about it.
The sign had been out only a short
while when a man came to my Office
and said he was reporter from the
New York American He asked me
if The Tribune had suggested that
string UP the banner. l said no. He
told ms he didn't believe me and
threatened to get my hacking license
away from me. He said things would
be made worth while for me if I'd
only own up. l stuck to the truth,
and he went away. Two other men,
who claimed to be from Hearst, ap-
peared later in the day and tried to
scare me into dragging The Tribune
into the business.
"In the meanwhile Captain Peabody
came to see me, with one officer. He
ordered me to remove the sign and, not
wanting to get into trouble with the
police, l did so. Then he served a
summons on me, ordering my appear
ance in court Monday morning for vio-
laton of local ordinance. Captain
Peabody said he didn't want any hard
feelings here about the Hearst papers"
81 don't recall that l mentioned
Hearst" said Captain Peabody. "Mas-
ter was violating an ordinance, that
was all. l wouldn't have cared what
his banner read. The summons would
have been served just the same"
