BARNYARD HEN ALSO
HELPS WIN THE WAR
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Amer
lean hen is strutting forth from the
back yard and farm to join the Amer
lean forces fighting the Germans.
1.-THE hen will win the war" comes
from the department to the farmers
to increase their production of chick
ems and eggs, so as to save more meat
to send aborad, for the use of Amer
icas fighting men.
"The hen must take her place among
those who are helping to win the war
for democracy. The hen, of course,
always has shown a willingness to do
her duty, and doubtless she is willing
now" the department of agriculture
says.
The stimulus given their farmers to
increase the poultry production will
result in a nation of egg and chicken
enthusiasts leaving more meat to en-
bark at Atlantic ports to combat the
German howitzers.

also to find out if there are any

varieties and amounts of each varie-

all in the county who are in need
of assistance in securing seed grain

War Savings Stamps

Up to March first Nebraska led
all states in the amount of War
Savings Stamps purchased with a
record of $4.39 per capita. Missouri
was second with $2.54 and Kansas
third with 1921.
Idaho's per capita investment on
the same date was 80 cents, which
excelled Pennsylvania and New York
by a few cents. South Carolina was
the lowest with record of only Is
cents per capita. Nebraska has Just
completed a drive in which her en-
tire quota has been either paid in or
subscribed amounting to nearly $780,
100000 for the entire state. War
Savings societies are now being or
gained all over the country for the
purpose of encouraging systematic
saving and investment in the w. S. S.
One of these societies or clubs
has been formed in Spokane by the
officers and employers of the Old
National Bank and Union Trust
Company to be known as the "Old
Naturalization Trust w. S. S. So
ciety" and all members have pledged
themselves to systematic saving and
investment in the stamps.
AT meeting of the local w. S. S
committee at the Commercial Clut
rooms on last Friday evening, it was
decided to begin at once a campaign
for the organization of these savings
clubs in Boundary county and this
week efforts will be made to start
both mems and women's societies
for adults, and later children's clubs
Will be organized in the schools.

TO MAKE new
PROPOSALS
BONDING COMPANY WANTS THE
CITY TO BUY WATER AND
LIGHT SYSTEM
OFFERED FOR $95,OOO.OO
Ask Council To Submit Proposition
To a Vote.

John E. Price & Co., the bonding
house of Seattle, whose representa-
tive was in Bonners Ferry a few
weeks ago TO interest the town coun-
ell and citizens in the purchase of
the Bonner Water & Light Com
pany's systems, has written the var
ious members of the town council
in which a new proposal is made.
Following is a copy of the letter to
Clerk Storm:
Replying to your letter of March
End would state that we have dis
cussed the Bonners Ferry water and
light situation with Mr.. Feather
stone. We feel confident that Mr..
Featherstone will consent to a ma
terial reduction in price, but he
would not care to give out final
figure unless he was assured il
was the intention of the city offic-
ials to put the proposition to a
vote, provided the price was rea-
sonable.
eve would like to ascertain, there
fore, whether the members of the
council will favor voting on the prop
osition if we can get Mr.. Feather
stone to definitely state that he will
reduce his price from $125,000 to
$4,000. We will appreciate your
promptly comforting with the mem
bers of the council and ascertain
from them whether they would favor
voting on a bond issue if Mr.. Feath.
erstone will lower the price to the
figure mentioned. We feel sure that
any reduction which Mr. Feather
stone might make would be with the
understanding that some immediat,
action would be taken.
ION account Of the familiarity O.
the citizens with the light and waite
proposition, we doubt very mucl
whether anything could be really ac
complished by having an enginee
check up the plant. It, therefore
seems to us to resolve itself simpl,
into a question as to whether tn
council will be willing to put tn
question. before the people to pur
chase the system at $4,000. w
believe a vote could be had witt
practically no expense, as it woul
only be necessary to have one vot
ing place, and the matter could the
be finally disposed of by the voter
themselves"
The letter above will probabl,
come up for consideration at tn
next meeting of the town council
Judging from expressions which hav
been made already it is hardly like
ly that the council will take an,
further action in the matter.

Miss Davis plans to return to this
county in the near future and will
probably devote an entire day to
demonstrations in the domestic sci
ence room of the high school, She
will probably be accompanied by
Miss Hoover and a number of es-
pecially trained food and cooking

the members of the executive COM
mittee of the county. Those who
have been appointed in the various
precincts outside of Bonners Ferry
will have charge of the campaign in

empowered to select those with whom
they wish to work in the coming

d. w. Davis, state chairman of
the Third Liberty Loan drive for
Idaho, arrived in the city this morn
ing and at noon met with company
of some 40 men and women of Bon
ners Ferry at the Grill. Mr.. Davis
gave a short address after the lunch
con in which he urged the speeding
up" in war activities, explained the
imperative need of the American
people giving to the Allies and the
American army and navy a greater
degree of support and illustrating
xt~l,e,
German aims and ambitions are not
headed off in the present war. The
speaker gave by far the most stir
ring and impressive address which
has ever been heard in this city. 1t
was a message which could not have
failed to stir the heart of every per-
son who heard it and make each
and every one resolve to give to
their country the best in them and
work to secure the same of their
neighbors and friends.
After the luncheon Mr.. Davis met
with the executive committee of the
Liberty Loan drive \ in Boundary
county, to talk over with them the
plans for the drive which begins on
April 9th.
Mr.. Davis states that the members
of the state executive committee for
the Third Liberty Loan drive were
greatly surprised when it was an
nounced yesterday that the third
loan was to be three billion dollars
eve all expected that a much larger
amount would be called for" said
Mr.. Davis. We are we'll organized in
every county of the state and with
hard work of the county chairmen
and their committees and the CO.
OperatiOn of orr natriOtic citizens
we will again be able to go over
the top in Idaho"
Boundary county's quota will be
the same or perhaps little less thar
it was in the second drive-$60, 900
This is a large sum to be raised
in this county within a few months
after the second drive and to raise
it will mean that nearly every citi-
zen will have to subscribe for bono
while the well-to-do will have to sub
scribe for large amounts of the issue
