SENIORS CONSIDER
CLASS DAY DRESSES

The experiment OF serving hot
soup for noon lunches at the high
school has proved to be a success.
The domestic science girls. under
Miss Cornell's direction prepare and
serve the soup or chocolate with
crackers each morning. The pupils
bringing their own lunch. Over 80
pupils have been served in the lunch
room each day since 1t was opened.
The average cost OF each lunch is
four cents. This low cost is made
possible by the fact that the pupils
and teachers desiring soup leave
their names in a box provided for
the purpose, each day. II Is expect
ed that the hot soup will be even
more appreciated should there be
stormy weather during the winter.
At meeting during the past week
the senior girls put the question of
class day dresses to vote. On .ac-
count Of present conditions 1t was
thought by some members OF the
class to be advisable to adopt sim
pie and useful style OF dress. All
the girls present decided upon white
MILDLY blouses and skirts as the Of
ficial dress for class day. This de-
'cision means that expensive silk
dresses will be entirely out OF order

years in New York Clnew the city bet

was a regular fan. | couldn't make him

From New York he had gone to Lon
don, where he worked as waiter in
the Hotel Russell. Just before the war
he went home to Germany to see his
parents, the war came and he was con-
scripted.
He told me he was very sorry to
hear that London was in ruins from
the Zeppelin raids. l could not CON
vince him otherwise, for hadn't he seen
moving pictures in one of the German
cities of st. Pauls cathedral in ruins.
l changed the subject because he
was so stubborn in his belief. 1t was
my intention to try and pump him for
information as to the methods of the
German snipers who had been caus-
ing us trouble In the last few days.

up like a clam. After a few minutes
he very innocently said:
German snipers yet paid rewards

He answered:
For killing or wounding an English
private, the sniper gets one mark. For

CHAPTER Xxx.
"Chats With Fritz"

We were swimming In money, from
the receipts of our theatrical venture,
and had forgotten all about the war
when an order came through that our
brigade would again take over their
sector of the line.
The day that these orders were Is
sued, our captain assembled the COM
pany and asked for volunteers to go to
the Machine Gun school at st. Omar.
/ volunteered and was accepted
Sixteen men from our brigade left
for the course in machine gunnery.
This course lasted two weeks and we
rejoined our unit and were assigned to
the brigade machine gun company. 1t
almost broke my heart to leave my
company mates.
The gun we used was the Vickers,
Light 1903. water cooled.
! was still a member of the Suicide
club. having jumped from the frying
pan into the fire. l was assigned to
section 1, gun No. 2, and the first time
ain" took position in the front-line
trench.
During the day our gun would be
dismounted on the fire step ready for
instant use. We shared n dugout with
the Lewis gunners. AT "stand TO" we
would mount our gun on the parapet
and 90 on watch beside IL until "stand
down" In the morning. Then the gun
would be dismounted and again placed
in readiness on the fire step.
We did eight days In the front-line
trench without anything unusual hap.
pening outside of the ordinary trench
routine. On the night that we were TO
"carry out" bombing raid against the
German lines was pulled off. This raid
ing party consisted of sixty company
men, sixteen bombers and four Lewis
machine guns with their crews.
The raid took the Boches by surprise
and was a complete success, the party
bringing back twenty-one prisoners.
The Germans must have been awful
ly sore, because they turned loose a
barrage Of shrapnel, with a few Min

The shells were dropping into our front
line like hailstones.
To get even. we could have left the
prisoners In the fire trench, In charge
of the men on guard and let them click

treat prisoners that way.
Five of them were brought into my
dugout and turned over to me so that
they would be safe from the German

Bonners Ferry
Idaho

is the county seat of Boundary county
and is located on two transcontinenal
railways, the Great Northern and Spo
kane International Boomers Ferry is
the head of navigation on the Koote-
mai river. 1t is the terminal of the
Kootenai Valley railway. which runs
to Foothill, close to the Canadian boun-
dairy line.
Boomers Ferry has three fine, mod
ern school buildings and an efficient
corps of teachers. Seven religious de-
nominations are represented and near
ly all of the best lodges have organi-
cations. The city is well supplied with
all kinds of business houses which car
ny large stocks of merchandise.
The citizens of Boundary county
and Boners Ferry are energetic and
wide-awake and are willing and anx-
ious to encourage the coming of new
settlers in the county.
The Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club is a live organization and II any
reader of the Herald desires full par
ticulars concerning the town or coun-
ty, write A. j. Kent, secretary of the
commercial club.

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 SO 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
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.

CHAPTER Xlx-continued.


At one point of the line where the
trenches were very close, stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
1t was his turn, Tommy would crawl
to this stake and attach some London
papers to it, while at the foot he would
place tins of bully beef, flags, sweets,
and other delicacies that he had re-
ceived from Blighty in the ever looked
for parcel. Later on Fritz would come
out and get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would go out
to see what Fritz put into his stocking.
The donation generally consisted of
paper from Berlin, telling who was
winning the war, some timed sausages,
cigars, and occasionally a little beer,
but funny thing, Tommy never re-
turned with the beer unless 1t was In
side of him. His platoon got Whit of
his breath one night and the offending
Tommy lost his job.
One night a young English sergeant
crawled to the stake and as he tried to
detach the German paper bomb ex-
ploded and mangled him horribly. Fritz
had set n trap and gained another vic
tim which was only one more black
mark against him In the book of this
war. From that time on diplomatic re-
lations were severed.
Returning to Tommy, think his
spirit is best shown In the questions he
asks. 1t is never "who is going to win
but always chow long will it take?"
