LOSES EYE
AND FINGERS

Master Glen Wallace, the nine-year-
old son of Mrs. Clara Wallace, nurse
at the Boomers Ferry hospital, had
his left eye blown out and the first
joints OF his thumb, forefinger and
index finger torn off Saturday when a
dynamite cap with which he was
playing, exploded.
The accident happened at the home
of the boys aunt, Mrs. T. b. Ferris, in
the Curley creek district. He was
brought to town in the p. o. Swanson
auto and is now resting as easy as
could be expected at the Bonners Fer
ry hospital.
The dynamite cap was found by
Master Glen and he had considerable
curiosity to investigate the insides of
the thing which is perfectly natural
for any boy. First he tried to pry the
cap apart with nail and then he took
hammer and laying the cap on an
anvil, struck it a couple OF times be-
fore it exploded.
Master Glen is a gritty lad and has
made little or no fuss about his pain.
He tried to comfort his mother Satur-
day by holding up the two uninjured
fingers OF his left hand and saying,
Don't worry, Mother, I've still got
two fingers left"

NO new SUGAR
REGULATIONS
COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
CALLED TO SPOKANE TO
CONFER WITH OFFICIALS
URGE CONSERVATION OF SUGAR
May Be Change in Flour Regulations
Soon

County Food Administrator King was
called to Spokane Thursday to confer
with Franklin ]. Coats, head of the
sugar division of the Food Admins
tration of Idaho, and several other
county administrators of Northern
Idaho, in regard to the handling of the
sugar situation in Northern Idaho.
The August allotment of sugar for
Boundary county was placed at 1892
pounds for table uses and cooking
purposes, exclusive of canning, and
this allotment was figured on a basis
of 2 pounds per person per month for
population of 1896 people. Admin
istrator King asked for and secured
an increase of this allotment for flu
ture months to cover expected in
creases in population by reason of in
creased activities in logging and in
mining.
In many parts OF the country the
regulations in regard to the use of
canning sugar are much more strict
than in Boundary county. In Wash
ington, Food Administrator Hebberd
allows only 25 pounds for canning in
families of four and where the fami-
lies are larger they may secure an ex-
ira 20 pounds upon a special permit
Similar regulations have been made in
several North Idaho counties.
There is no change contemplated in
this county in regard to sugar pur-
chases except that from now on the
| food administrator will attempt to
curb some of the canning sugar pur-
chases where it is obvious that can
ming sugar has not been used solely
for canning. The government has
absolute control OF the sugar crop and
it is asking that the people make 2g
of 100 quarts OF fruit. Persons who
apply for permits to buy a second 2s
pounds of sugar must now be able t.
show how much fruit they canned with
the first % pounds. In many parts
Of the state housewives are canning
all kinds of fruit with no sugar anC
they say that the fruit keeps better
and also retains its flavor better thar
that canned with sugar.
| Boundary county is going to hav,
plenty of sugar for both canning ant
ordinary uses. and there will be NJ
need OF citizens allowing the fruit L
go to waste.
1t is generally believed by the Off
Gals of the food administration tina
the regulations governing the pur
case OF substitutes with wheat fioul
will be changed either the LIST or 15ti
of next month. 1t is understood tina
1.-The new regulations will require onl,
about 20 or 25 per cent purchases O
substitutes.

School House for District No. 81

School District No. Il which was
created at the July meeting of the
county commissioners upon the petit
ton of residents of the district, is
now preparing to erect temporary
school building which will be used un-
til a permanent building can be con-
structed. The trustees of the newly
created district are Jos. Barto, Walter
Aldrich. and Charles Sand.
1t appears that the new district is
not recognized as legal school dis
trict until after a certain length OF
time following the first action OF the
county commissioners and so 1t has
no power to proceed to bond for the
purpose of erecting school and TO
equip 1t.
Mr.. Barto states that full nine
months term will be taught and that
the school term will begin on schedule
unless the unforeseen occurs.
The school will be located near the
Jos. Barto ranch on the Boomers Ferry
Porthill road about seven miles from
town.
The school trustees have already
placed an order for the school furni-
ture.

DON'T WANT
VAN SICKLIN
PARTY LEADERS
AT BOISE URGE DEMOCRATS
TO VOTE FOR MARTIN
ARE AFRAID OF NON-PARTISANS
Party Bosses Would Control the Pri-
mary Election

The state democratic party organ
ization has made every effort the last
few weeks to keep the candidates en-
dorsed by the members of the Non
partisan League, off the democrat
ticket at the primary election on
Sept. 3rd. On Friday the supreme
court dismissed the injunctions to bar
the Non-partisan League candidates
from the democratic ticket and held
that the Leaguers had violated no
part of the election laws of the state
Now the democratic leaders at the
state capitol see disaster for their
organization and have hastily formed
an organization called "Idaho's Jeffer-
sonian Club" for the"election OF ST.
mon-pure democrats, state and coun-
ty Offices" In fact the organization
was so hastily formed that the pub
licity committee has sent the Herald,
a republican paper plea to
boost what is plainly a hand-picked
democratic state ticket evidently COM
posed of men who are dyed -in-rhe-
wool democrats and can be depended
upon to do the bidding of the party
bosses. Here's the letter:
1.-The democrats of Idaho are con-
condition in that the Non-partisan
League is attempting to capture our
party organization and to place their
candidates for state Office on our tick
ct
"If they succeed the League organ
ization will be substituted for our
party organization and our party in
this state will be made to subserve the
If ha I aoo
circumstances which the state
democratic central committee sought
to control. but without success, have
given us two candidates for governor
Frank Martin and E. A. Van Sicklin.
"In order to prevent the capture OF
our party organization by the League
and the success of its candidates 10Y
governor at the primary election, it is
necessary for democrats to throw
their support to one candidate Ion
that position.
prudence dictates that we center
that vote on the strongest candidate
We have carefully investigated to as
certain the strength of Mr.. Martin and
Mr.. Van Sicklin, and after such inves-
tigation. we firmly believe that Mr.
Van Sicklin cannot defeat Mr.. sam
uels, the League candidate, but that
Mr.. Martin can defeat him.
For these reasons we earnestly
urge every democrat to register and Il
vote at the primary election for Mr.
Martin and thus save our party. A
vote for Mr.. Van Sicklin will be a vote
for Mr. Samuels.
