WRITES OF LIFE AT SAN
DIEGO NAVAL TRAINING STATION

to have anything outside of our sea
bags-all our clothing in the bags
is rolled and tied, the hammocks and
blankets are dashed around the bags
so that all our belongings make one
bundle. We just shoulder this and
march off when we move. You have
no idea how comfortable hammocks
are to sleep in and convenient. There
are seven hundred and twenty men
sleeping in this building at night and
during the day the hammocks are
lashed and slowed so that the build
ing can be used for assembly.
The Y. M. c. A. does wonderful
work wherever there is a training
camp They furnish us with writing
paper and envelopes, place to read
or study, and take an active interest
in all athletic, social and religious
services. 1t is one institution that all
the boys patronize and appreciate.
We are always grateful for maya
zines and periodicals and every scrap
of anything readable is welcome to
US while we are in detention.
Camp Kearney is only twelve miles
north of here and there are thirty
seven thousand soldiers there. There

airy between these branches of SER
vice is intense. We have a field meet
at the stadium between the army and
navy next Saturday and everyone is
anticipating "some battle" The navy
won out in the last one and we are
backing it this time.
There is plenty to learn and piles
to see in the navy and at is a great
life if you don't weaken"

in getting the Northside boys orga-
nized. Mr.. Crowder believes it will
be beneficial to have two Boy Scout

Warwick Opens Auto Shop

w. Warwick, for several months
the repair man and auto mechanic
at the Crescent Garage, has opened
up shop of his own having leased
the Kent building on Main street
formerly occupied bv the Kindschuh
Tin Shop.
Mr.. Warwick has the reputation
of being one of the best all-round
auto men in the northwest and his
experience in repair work has been
made all the more valuable on ac-
count of his many months of travel
in touring cars and trucks in all
parts of the United States.
He has a number of schemes
planned which he is certain will as
sist greatly in drawing next seasons
tourists to this country. One is to
provide a camping place for the
tourists where they may camp for a
day or several days and clean and
repair their cars.

Arrange Basket Ball Game

During the past few weeks the
members of the Boomers Ferry high
school basket ball team have been
experiencing a great deal of hard
luck in arranging for games. Two
weeks ago it was planned that the
boys should go to Montana for a
series of games with Columbia Falls,
Kalispell, Libby, Eureka and White
fish. This trip and also several
games planned to be played here, had
to be called off on account of an
epidemic of smallpox in several of
the Montana towns. Now Coach
Voshmik hopes to arrange a game
for this week with either Post Falls,
Rathdrum, Newport or Spokane. 1,
is not possible to state whether the
game this week will be played here
or on the floor of the opposing team.

lures, consisting of .recitations and
solos, the principal speaker of the
evening was introduced in the person
of Mr. W. P. Crump
He chose as his subject, "The Negro
and the War" In voice filled with
eloquence, he impressed his hearers
with the vital questions of the day.
He spoke of the disgrace of democracy
as practiced in this country with re-
gard to the Negro, and laid particular
stress on the manner in which the
loyal Negroes of this country are be-
ing treated by certain element of
white citizens. The speaker said that
he believed a system of education was
necessary to check the mob spirit
which has so frequently shown it's
head among us.
Mr.. Crump struck a responsive
chord when he stated that he believed
there had been miscarriage of JUS
tice on the part of President Wilson
in sending large armies to France to
combat the Germans for their unspeak-
able crimes against the people of Bel.
