Last Friday Rev. U. S. Crowder, pas
tor of the Methodist church, received
telegram from Rev ]. C. Harris.
district superintendent of the Puget
Sound conference, offering the pas
torate of the Methodist church at Port
Angeles, Wash, at a salary of 1.400
per year with free rent of an eight
room house and the use of an auto
mobile. The offer has been accepted
by Rev Crowder and he expects to
leave tomorrow for the new pastorate
and prepare for the moving of his fam
lily to Port Angeles.
The offer of the new pastorate came
to Rev. Crowder entirely unsolicited.
His many friends here regret that he
considers it best to go but are glad
that his ability has been recognized
and that he will have an opportunity
to use his talent and power for good
in a larger district. Rev. Crowder
spent part of his vacation and sup
piled the church as Port Angeles, two
years ago.
Rev. Crowder will be greatly missed
in this district. He took an active
part in civic and social as well as
church activities; was member of the
town council and of the county de-
Tense council and organized and was
master of the Boy Scout troop.

LIMITED
SERVICE MEN

Owing to the epidemic of Spanish in
huenza in the various military en-
campments of the country, the war de-
partment has ordered no further
movements until further orders. The
local board received instructions to
this effect Friday and so has cancelled
the call for the draft men who were
to have left for Camp Lewis this week.
The call for the limited service men to
go to Jefferson Barracks. Mo, was not
cancelled and j. r. Hewett, of Port
hill and Oscar B. Nystrom. of Moravia,
will leave on October 3rd. Charles
Riefsteck and Earl Van Etten were
first called to go to Jefferson Barracks
but Riefsteck has applied for temper
and his case is before the district
board while Van Etten has been grant
ed exemption by the local board.
The draft board of this county has
also received a call for three limited
service men to be sent to Camp Lewis
within the two-day period beginning
October IA. On account of the fact
that many of the limited service men
have failed to keep the local board ad.
vised of their whereabouts, the board
has decided to call six men to report
on the 18th and from the six three will
be selected to go to Camp Lewis. Fol
lowing are the men who have been or
dered to report:
Alva C. Bush, Boomers Ferry.
George j. Vangsness, Bonners Ferry
Jos. j. Berg, Bonners Ferry.
Fred M. Fister, Spokane. Wash.
Charles Fraser, Blaine. Wash.
Louis Larson, Bonners Ferry.
Private Alvin Denman arrived here
Thursday from Camp Lewis, to assist
the local draft board for few months
in the work of classifying the draft
men who registered on Sept. II. Pvt
Denman enlisted from Moscow where
he was attending the University of Id
aho and was in his senior year in the
law course. The government is send
ing soldier assistants to all county
draft boards and il most cases is send
ing limited service men, The avail
able limited service men have been ex-
hausted and so in many cases the

WILL EXPERIMENT WITH CROPS ON
KOOTENAPS OVERLOOKED LANDS
A. KOCKMANE, OWNER OF LARGE VALLEY RANCH, WILL BEGIN
EXPERIMENTS NEXT YEAR TO DETERMINE WHAT CROPS CAN BE
GROWN SUCCESSFULLY AFTER HIGH WATER RECEDES.

A. Hickman, president and gen
eral manager of the Idaho-Continen-
tai Mining company, of Hickman,
Idaho, and the owner OF some 3,0oo
acres of Kootenai valley overflow land,
is greatly interested in experimenting
with crops which will do well when
planted after the overflow water mas
receded. He is now preparing sever
al hundred acres Of land on which he
will experiment with crops recon-
mended by the extension department
of the University of Missouri. MT.
Hickman has been in correspond
ence for some time with various au-
thorities in regard to the best crops
for overflow lands and his experiments
in this district will be watched with
interest and will prove OF great value
to all owners of overflow lands. He
is greatly interested in having a live
county agent in Boundary county, IL
possible man from Missouri, TO I'M
dertake experiments with crops on the
overflow lands as our. overflow district
is very similar in every way to those
of Missouri.
Mr.. Klockmann has furnished the
Herald with the following bulletin
written by ]. G. Hackleman, of the
agricultural extension service of the
University of Missouri, entitled Crops
for Overflow Lands and it should
contain valuable information for all
the farmers of the Kootenai valley
district inasmuch as the climate and
soil. are so nearly like that of the low
lands of Missouri
The object of this publication is. to
present to the farmers few common
and more widely grown crops which
can be and are being used satisfact-
orily as catch crops and as substitute
crops where the common staple crops
have failed. Each year finds the
farmers thinking more and more about
the complete utilization of their lands,
and they are always alert to find some
thing newer and better than the older,
more common crops. This condition
is particularly true of the regions
where floods or insects destroy crops.

wITHDRAws FROM CAMPAIGN
w. w. Won Canon VIII Not Be Repub-
lican Candidate on State Ticket

w. W. Won Canon, of Standpoint, has
purchased an interest in the Bonner
County National bank at Standpoint,
and has been elected cashier of the
institution and so has resigned from
the ticket as the republican nominee
for secretary of state.
Mr.. Won Canon expressed great re-
luctance in withdrawing from the cam
paign after receiving the nomination
for secretary of state without oppo-
sition in the primaries. However, the
opportunity offered in business way
was not to be overlooked for the I'M
certain path of politics and he felt
that in justice to himself he should
take the business opportunity in pref
erence to the political one.
The power of nominating candi-
date to fill the vacancy is in the hands
of the state executive committee. 1t
is more than likely that the place left
vacant by Mr.. Won Canon resigna-
ton, will be filled by northern man.

CRACOW SAVED
BY BOY SCOUTS
Youngsters Quell Disorder
and Prevent Looting by
Austrian Vandals.

The thrilling story OF how the Boy
scouts of Cracow saved their city,
Polands most ancient and noblest
center, was made public here yester-
day by Polish agents who received
reports from the Polish-American sol
diers who have returned to Poland
from the Western battle front. Al
though the famous Boy Scouts brought
invaluable aid to the allies, particu-
ilarly in England, the records OF the
international organization bear no
brighter nor more courageous ex-
ample Of heroism than that of the
Polish boys who shouldered rifles and
guarded the ancient hearths of their
fathers.
When the Austrian empire fell, ac-
cording to the reports received here,
the Austrian officials and soldiers in
Cracow vanished at once. The city
was left without leadership. its or
ganization for the preservation of law
and order fell apart and its treasures
were left unguarded before the greedy
eyes Of any bandits or marauders who
might gather in its streets
1t was then that two scoutmasters,
trained army officers. whose loyalty to
the cause of Poland and whose hatred
for Germany led them to refuse serv-
ice in the Austrian army, rallied the
Boy Scouts of the city. The leaders
also impressed into service some old
men who were sworn in as police.
They had no uniforms and were iden-
titled as officers Of the law by cards
hung about their necks. AS the serv-
ice was compulsory these ancient po-
lieemen could not be depended upon
to fulfill their duties.
The boys guarded the public
buildings, military depots and other
points. including stores of high ex-
plcsiye, which were sufficient to
have wrecked the city had they
fallen into the hands of the Reds.
Only these boys and another
youthful semi-military organization
with a few stray officers stood be-
tween the city and its treasures, in
cluding the gold-encrusted tombs of
the Polish kings. and the criminal
elements. which focked to the city
from every quarter. But the boys
did their duty well. They had one
battle with evil-doers. and their
victory brought to the citizenry a
not-to-be-shaken sense OF security.
Now that the allies have permit
ted the shipment OF some $4,000
trained soldiers from the Western
front to Poland. all fears for the
safety of Cracow and it's famous
university, which recently voted
President Wilson a fellow, have
passed.

WOMAN THOUGHT POOR
LEFT HALF A MILLION
Daughter in Spain Gets $4,000
in Liberty Bonds Alone.

Denver Col. Dec. 25.-A fortune of
10000 was left to daughter in
Spain by Mrs Aline Mathiida Julia Car
doner, who died recently in AlbuQuer-
que. y. Mex, it was learned today.
Her friends believed that she was
poor until her attorney came to Den
yer today and opened her safety de-
posit boxes, discovering sS20.00o worth
of liberty bonds and thousands of dol
lars worth of other securities.
Mrs. Gardener was the widow of
wealthy Barcelonian who owned
large block of stock in a chain of
stores in mining camps in Idaho.
Harry Orchard, now serving SEN
tence for staying former Governor
Steunenberg of Idaho. once sold Car
doner a sixteenth interest in the Her
cuIes mine at Burke, Idaho. When
Gardener died his widow sold this
interest for $4,000 cash and placed
the securities purchased with this
money in Denver safety deposit vaults.
Later Mrs. Gardener removed to Al

BELGIAN RELIEF
NOW PERFECTED
1870, 900 Tons Of Supplies
to Be Shipped from U.
S. Monthly.

A message Of hope and cheer went
out from Washington yesterday TO
devastated Belgium. when the Com
mission for Relief in Belgium an
nounced that a greatly enlarged pro-
gram had been perfected in response
to cabled advices from Herbert
Hoover. its chairman. and that hence
forth Belgium would receive $4,000
tons OF supplies each month. includ-
ing clothing.
This program will require 5000
deadweight tons Of shipping in con-
tinuous service. The relief commits
sion has $4,000 tons under charter
now and has applied TO the Shipping
Board for its additional needs, which
win be granted.
The Hoover cablegram was the first
word .received by the Food Admins
tration from it's chief. giving any
definite outline OF program since he
sailed for Europe. On teh basis OF
the added needs in Belgium. members
Of the Food Administration expect
that the final requirements for food
in Europe which the United states
will be called on. to furnish will be
greater than preliminary estimates
have indicated. They would not be
surprised should Mr.. Hoover appeal 10
the country for another great con-
servation campaign by which America
might save enough to feed the stricken
foreign lands.
Belgium, itself. is pictured by Mr..
Hoover as denuded of horses, her
farmers in many sections despoiled
of their hogs and edible animals. her
fields wasted and her factories
wrecked.
