Eber Chase Not a Stacker

The Herald is in receipt of let
ter this week from A. l.. McNary,
109th Co., 8th Regiment Marines,
stationed at Fort Crockett, Tex, in
which he asks that the name of Eber
Chase, of Lenia, be taken from the
list of "slackers" of Boundary coun-
ty. Mr.. McNary writes as follows:
Last May | spent a week of two
in LENA, Idaho and became ac-
quainted with Eber Chase. One of
my tent mates, Alonzo Osborne, of
Copeland, got a copy of a Boomers
Ferry paper and l saw that Eber
Chase was classed as a Stacker.
happened to have his company adj
dress and / wrote to him. He is
in the 63rd F. A. Battery D., FIT
Casey, Wash. Of course you didn't
know his whereabouts but there is g
brotherly feeling among we men OF
the service and | would be glad il
your paper or the paper that printed
the clipping would make things right
Mr.. Chase wrote wrote that his
brother, James Chase, was in France
with the 146 F. A, Bait. F., Am
E. F."
No doubt there are others on the
Stacker" list of Boundary county
who are now in the service of then
country the same as Eber Chase. The
local authorities have no way Oh
knowing the facts in these cases un-
less the men themselves write anc
advise the county exemption boarc
of their whereabouts. The Boundary
county exemption board will take
immediate stems to remove Chase's
name from the list of slackers.

"Jolly Rogers" Hold
Rummage Sale

The children of Boomers
Ferry and Boundary county
are setting examples in pa
triotism worthy of being fol-
lowed by their elders. They
have saved their spending
money and bought thrift
stamps far beyond expecta-
tons and when summer time
and vacation days bring more
chances to make money it is
believed that the thrift stamp
sales will double.
Just recently a few young
girls of Boomers Ferry formed
a club which is called the
Jolly Rogers" Most of the
Jolly Rogers are about II
years old and they charge a
membership fee of five cents.
A week ago Saturday the
jolly Rogers staged a sham
battle and realized $105 from
from the admission receipts
which money was turned over
to the local Red Cross auxil-
larry.
Last Saturday the Jolly
Rogers held a rummage sale
and the members are very
proud of the fact that they
cleared $5.05 from the sale.
Many of the articles sold con-
sisted of dolls clothing and
furnishings which were made
by the members of the Jolly
Rogers. The members of the
patriotic club are now plan
ming to engage in some sort
of a money making scheme
every Saturday and all the re-
ceipts will be turned over to
the Red Cross.

The members of the Red Cross
hope that the rummage sale to be
held in the former Herald building
on Main street on Friday and Satur-
day of this week, will be even more
of a success than the first one held
last November.
Red Cross members will be at the
Herald building each day this week
to receive contributions. Donations
may also be left at the Red Cross
headquarters in the l. o. o. F. build
ing. Anything and everything that
is of any use and is clean, will be
accepted and every person is urged
to take an inventory of his home
from attic to cellar and donate to the
Red Cross rummage sale such artic-
les found as are of no further use
or benefit to him. These donations
will be classified and tagged. The
sale will start Friday. On Saturday
afternoon |. Causton will auction off
such articles as are not sold.
Don't forget the date and don't
forget to hunt up a large donation
for the sale.

Will Buy Smokes
for the Soldiers

Steve Garvey circulated
subscription paper Thursday
and Friday on the streets of
Bonners Ferry for the pur-
pose of raising money with
which to buy presents of to-
bacco for the Boundary coun-
ty soldiers at the front. Fri
day night Garvey turned over
to Miss Goldie Cave, secretary
of the Red Cross auxiliary,
$35.75 which he had collected
and there is yet $3.50 to be
collected which was sub
scribed as a result of his
efforts. The local Red Cross
auxiliary will have charge of
purchasing the tobacco and
forwarding it to the soldier
boys from this county.
Mr.. Garvey's efforts to pro-
vide comforts for the soldiers
and sailors of Boundary coun-
ty are to be commended. The
plan has been talked several
times but no one took it up
and assumed the responsible
ties of getting the money.
Now that the tobacco fund
has been started it will prob
ably be given hearty support.
Any amount will be gladly re-
ceived and may be forwarded
or given to Mr.. Garvey or the
Herald
