ment. for the present. at least.
Until further orders. Provost Marshal
General Crowder announces. railroad en-
ployes will be classified under provisions
of the selective service regulations gov
erning claims for deferred classification
on industrial grounds. and not under pro-
visions Of the regulations governing
claims as government employees.
Local boards Of the District have been
so advising railroad employees recently.
and were pleased today to find that the
office OF the provost marshal general has
lacked up their advice with the present
ruling.
Old Status the Same.
The ruling is generally interpretated
to mean that the old status OF railroad
employees will remain the same for the
purpoees of the QUESTIONABLE. which
document thousands OF young railroad
men throughout the country are filing
out.
To change the status of the railroad
men at this hour. when the process of
filing out questionnaires Is almost
completed. the last s per cent of the
documents to be mailed Wednesday.
would give railroad men who filled out
missionaries after the taking over OF
the railroads by the government Diff
ferent status than those men who re-
ceived their questionnaires before the
roads were taken over by Uncle Sam.
1t is perfectly possible that once all
the questionnaires are in the provost
marshal general will issue another or
der allowing all railroad mon to notify
local boards of changed status. to
wit. that they are government en-
ployes. If this is done. such regis
trants may then make a claim for de-
ferred classification on the grounds of
being employees Of the government. 1t
Is believed.
This latter step, however. would entail
so much work on the part Of local
boards of the country. that 1t is not
believed liable at this time. certainly
not until the boards have completed the
classification of the nations 10000, 900
men on the basis of information given
in the Questionnaires.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
IN the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY

The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
Iettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news.

in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.

thing asked for.

Gene Campbell won first honors
and was awarded a silver loving cup
at the annual stock judging contest
held at the University of Idaho last
Friday.
This honor is one of the greatest
given at the Moscow university and
it has now been won by two Boomers

it two years ago.
Gene Campbell also took third
place in the horticulture judging con-
test. Last year his brother, Oliver
Campbell, took first place in this
contest. Oliver Campbell is now
taking the officers training course
at American Lake.
Gene and Oliver Campbell are the
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. D. H. Camp
bell, residents Of the Northside. They
have made excellent records for
themselves and naturally their par
ents and many friends here are
proud of them.

Enthusiastic Meeting Tuesday Night

By far the largest attended and
most enthusiastic patriotic meeting
ever held in Boundary county was
that at the X. p hall last Tuesday
evening held under the auspices of
the Boundary County Patriotic
League.
w. J. Hindley, of Spokane, special
representative of President Wilson,
gave the address of the evening and
in a speech of an hour and a half
duration exhorted the people to prac-
tice higher degree of patriotism.
At the close of the meeting, the
membership committee nassed mem
bership cards through the audience
and secured ~ new members. The
Patriotic League now has a member
ship of PIP in Boomers Ferry and it
is expected that this number will be
increased to 500 in very few weeks.
President Wilbur has called another
meeting of the Patriotic League for
tomorrow night at the commercial
club rooms.

Praises Rush Hay for Cows

F. E. Murray recently shipped a
carload of rush hay to J. ]. Schrib-
ner at Priest River, Idaho. Mr.. Muir
ray asked Schribner to write and tell
him how he liked the rush hay as
the Priest River man is a newcomer
to. Northern Idaho and had never
used rush hay before. The following
is a copy of Schribner's letter: "The
hay that / got was the rottenest hay
ever saw shipped but in regard
to producing cream and butter it
beats anything ever fed so if l
stay in this country l will be in the
market for rush hay every fall" All
of which goes to show that Kootenai
Valley rush hay is gaining a reputa-
ton which will bring it more and
more in demand every season.
