Must Buy Bonds

1t has been officially decided at a
meeting of the executive committee
of the Latah county Liberty Loan
drive that every one must do his or
her part in the Liberty Loan cam
paign. There is sufficient informa-
tion at headquarters to give the
committee a good working know
ledge of just about what an indi-
vidual is worth and the man who
has considerable property will not
be allowed to escape bv the pur-
chase of $50 bond. If he is able
to buy $1,000 worth of bonds he
will be required to take that
amount. The government is pro.
viding means for backing these
committees.
You will not be excused simply
because you haven't the ready cash
because the banks will loan the
money at a low rate of interest fol
the purpose of buying bonds. Tht
man who is not willing to do hi:
part will be regarded as Stacker
as unpatriotic and his name will b,
published in the newspapers, da!
after day, as such. This is tn,
plan outlined by the Latah count.

Latah Men Can Join Navy

The county selective draft board
and Lieutenant Wood U. S. NJ,
came to an agreement Monday by
which men of draft age, registered
in Latah county, will be permitted
to enlist in the navy and the county
will get credit for these enlistments.
The county board has opposed al
lowing registrants to enlist in the
navy because the county got no
credit. Men whose numbers are
above 1000 will be permitted to
join the navy. The board estimates
that it will require all the numbers
up to 1000 to fill the calls for draft.

Bear Ridge Meeting

At a meeting at the Steele school
house on Bear ridge last Saturday
evening it was decided not to make
a drive for Liberty Bonds, but that
every taxpayer shall make his pur-
chase of Liberty Bond through
his bank. This plan was adopted
on account of the fact that a large
number on the ridge had already
bought a bond at the bank.
A resolution was adopted that
every person on Big Bear ridge who
is financially able. must buy Lib
erty Bond, tn, amount to be judged
by the income or wealth of the pur-
chaser. Anyone who is able and
does not buy bond must have a
good reason why he refused. 1t is
hoped that everyone will do his
duty along this line at the earliest
possible opportunity, so that those
who buy bonds may have their
names taken off the list.
The above communication comes
from the precinct organization OF
which James Nelson is chairman
The rules will be rigidly enforced.

coaling ship is no easy job, as you
can see by the above. Out of 30A
hours we worked playing 2OA hours
though to be sure meals were taken
in that time, but time for meals on
coaling days is short.
I'll call the port where we now
are "most anything" and will fur

of steel rails as the street cars roll

been in port it has frozen hard.

MILWAUKEE. Feb. 25.-Jack Demp-
sey, the San Francisco heavyweight
won from Bill Brennan here tonight
III the sixth round of what was to have
been a ten-round bout. The referee
stopped the bout to save Brennan from
Il knockout.
Dempsey had the advantage from
start to finish. He floorcd Brennan
four times in the second round. and
the Chicago man was saved a probable
knockout by the bell. The Californian
had a shift that Brennan seemed un-
able TO fathom. Dempsey was equally
clever with either hand and landed al
most at will. Brennan succeeded in
avoiding the canvas in the third,
fourth and fifth sessions. but in the
sixth and final round Dempsey landed
a shower of lefts and rights to the
body and jaw and stiff right to the
chin. causing Brennan to take nine of
the count.
Brennan was game, but when the
referee saw that Dempsey was on the
verge of landing knockout blow on
his wobbling opponent he stopped the
contest. Brennan was saved by the
bell IN the fourth round.
