DARING PAIR OF SCREEN STARS
APPEAR AGAIN IN BIG SERIAL

William Duncan and Carol Hollo-
way, stars of "Vengeance-and the
Woman, the greater Vitagraph serial
now running at the Amazon theater,
have come to be regarded as the most
daring man and woman on the screen.
They were first seen together in "The
Fighting Trail" the thrilling Vita
graph serial which broke all records,
and later appeared in the Wolfville
pictures-"Dead Shot Baker" and
1.-THE Tenderfoot" from the
stories of Alfred Henry Lewis.
Mr.. Duncan, who was a professional
athlete before he went into moving
pictures, has been nicknamed, 1.-THE
Sandow of the Screen, partly because
of his wonderful feats of strength and
partly because he was formerly with

Elmer Osborn Again Gets Contract
Word was received here last week
from the postoffice department at
Washington, d. c., to the effect that
the contract for the hauling of the
mail on the Bonners Ferry-Porthill
route had been let to Elmer Osborn,
of Copeland. Mr.. Osborn was award
ed the contract on the first call for
bids several weeks ago and then all
bids were rejected on account of the
change in the regulation governing the
weight of parcels post packages. The
present contract was awarded on his
bid of $4,000 per year on four year
contract. There were five or six bids
rendered.
Mr.. Osborn has purchased new
Dodge car for the mail and passenger
route he will commence the first of
July and he states that he will try to
improve the time for the trip between
Boomers Ferry and Porthill.
d. H. Chisholm has had the contract
on the Bonners Ferry-Porthill route
for the past four years.

GERMANY'S DEBT.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Germany about 90,000,000, 900 marks or ESQ., 000,000,000, and there is as yet no hole in the Western front through which to push to indemni- ties will make it possible to take the of the out of the invaded countries.
 It is said that all of the private wealth of Ger many amounts to three times the debt.
 This is how Germany stands nearly four years after the beginning of the which planned tC end quickly, the Franco Prussian did, and upon which would return to the coffers of the of the war leaving them in possession of their col ones and their facilities for trade including theil merchant marine.
 This to be profitable There could be other defense for starting it. The Germans not bidden to go to for their health There to be rich loot for the empire, well in creased power for the Emperor.
 When any private owner is in debt one-third of the value of his property, with expenses increasing the debt, and cannot 'see his way out' the bankruptcy court does not seem very far away.
 Russia still is questionable asset, and not ar immediate The Allied front still holds. Amer ca has awakened to the need of great army ant will provide As business enterprise Germany. men whose cupidity excited them immensely ir 1914 will be cursing their stupidity in 1920.
 Germany doing a good business around the world in 1914. All of that valuable overseas trade And unless the Germans can recover their expenses by lining the civilized countries the Belgian cities have been fined" in what financial state will the avarcious Germans be when the ends?
 The ends of justice will be served, beyond doubt, if the nation which brought about as profitable enterprise winds up $50.000 900 900 ir dent, with no hope of indemnites, without colonies without merchant marine, without the respect and friendship of foreign nations discredited bankrupt clubbed into submission.
 Every American and every American dollar going into the fight will help to bring about that just end of the most criminal war of modern history.

HAD THE RIGHT IDEA.

That travelling in Minneapolis who estimat- ed his personal capital value at S50O0O and charged off per of it from his income as depreciation when making an income tax return had the rlgh' idea even if he did apply it in the wrong place.
 His reasoning that during the probable du- ration of his working life he could earn about so much It was therefore, possible to estimate his present value an income producer Just as an industrial plant may be value by US output ana probable strength of serviceableness.
 Having found himself to be worth S5oOOO as an income producing and that his income is $5,- O00 he knocked 1000 off the income for depre- citation the plant.
 An unfeeling income tax collector made him pay on the whole $5,000 but the calculation had it's value Every man is a machine for making money and every machine out. The wise man fig ures when he will wear out as machine, and if he does not encounter too much bad luck he can have enough laid aside be able to regard himself as commercial junk, when the time comes, without go- ing personally to the human junk pile

With the entrance of America into the great conflict business became greatly un- settled. The gold mines closed down on account of the high cost of operating throwing thousands of miners the highest paid class of labor in the North out of employment, and hundreds of our young men the best blood and brawn of the Northand focked to the colors. High wages paid and a lack of em- ployment have caused thousands leave for the States, and our darkest hour is yet to come.
