An Explanation.

Every once in a while we hear
something regarding the money
left over from the Caledonian
celebration and suggestions az
to what should be done with it..
and those who are doing most of
the talking are people who new
er donated a cent towards the do
ings, or helped in any manner to
put it across.
For the benefit of these few
kickers we would say that there
is very little, if any, money left
as the celebration cost in the
neighborhood of $1,600.00. There
are two or three orders yet to be
turned in and as soon as same is
paid, statement will be forth
coming.
1t cost the Association about
$3.50 to entertain the soldier
boys, the fireworks cost SIPS,
the band was paid $3.50, ball
games over $3.50, and the other
expenses between $400 and $500.
Anyone who is interested should
call and examine the books
which are open to all.
The second and third annual
Caledonian celebrations turned
over to the Red Cross society
$735.00, and if there should be a
little money left in the treasury
from this years celebration
we consider we are doing moth.

Pictures from Class Of 1919.

Last Friday, Oct 81, two large pic
nres arrived at the Boomers Ferry
High School. These pictures were
resented to the school by last years
raduating class, the class of 1919.
The names of these famous master
pieces are "Sir Galahad" and 1.-THE
Pot Of BASIL" The latter is wellknown
nom poem by the poet, Keats. The
iormer, "Sir Galahad," is also very
veil known piece of art.
These gifts are almost five feet high
and fully three feet wide, finished in
brown with the inscription, Glass of
1873" at the bottom of each.
The pictures, which are surely
worth all the admiration they receive,
are to be hung at the front of the as
sembly hall where they may be seen
by ALL Bonners Ferry High School
owes a great deal to the class of 1919.

A while back the l. w. w. struck for

In the wheat fields they caused

We are going through a period OF
great social unrest Throughout the
nation, indeed, throughout the world
we read of troubles between employers
and employees. In our country to-
day, we have numerous organizations
whose battle-cry seems to be, Down
with Capitalism" 1t is my purpose
to discuss one of these organizations
namely, the |. w. w.
The laborer is entitled to more con-
sideration than he has had in the
past. He deserves higher wages and
better working conditions. However
let us look at things from a slightly
different angle
The |. w. w. is composed, for the
most part, of transient workers, going
from place to place, and having prac-
tically no responsibilities. They have
no families to support but spend their
earnings selfishly upon themselves

Special Pastry Demonstration.

classes of the high school. The dem

also given on the subject of bread
making.
The girls were served with various
Sperry products.
The demonstrator was much inn

ceived from the girls.

Sonhomore-Lunior Raid

Some time back the sophomores and
seniors made a very successful raid
on the most honorable freshmen and
their worthy allies, the juniors 1t
happened that the aforesaid freshmen
and juniors were having a party at
the gymnasium and the sophomores
and seniors decided to help amuse the
freshmen by giving them an initiation.
A number of them got together and,
arriving at headquarters, (the GYM ),
waited outside for the merrymakers
to come out. When they did come
they received a very marin reception.
The boys were tied up and left to
think over their sins and to breath
maledictions on their enemies. When
more of the fellows came to rescue
their companions they were treated
in the same way, and none too gently.
We hear that the freshmen and the
juniors are still talking revenge and
are determined to give their opponents
an illustration of their ability in fight
ing, in the near future.
We are glad to say that although
the Boomers Ferry high school has
class spirit and pep we are not letting
either interfere with our feeling of
friendliness and the welfare of our
school.

alone. They have little or no polit-
icai responsibilities and for these reas-
ons are entitled to small consideration
as useful members of society
Yet these are the men who so loudly
wall that they are being trampled on
by capitalism. They demand more
pay and less work. Their demands
are granted and it is but a short time
tall the cry goes up again. more pay
and less work. They seek to encroach
upon the present property owners I'M
til the industries of the country shall
be taken over by the proletariat and
we reach that happy Utopia, where,
suppose, it will be all pay and no
work.
The high price of lumber is being
felt in Boomers Ferry at the present
time. Perhaps not the least among
the causes of high the price is this .
that in certain camps in the vicinity
of Bonners Ferry, where the men re-
ceive good pay and work eight hours
a day. they pursue policy of loafing
on the job This is but one method
pursued to gain their ends. Another
is the contemplate policy of destroy
ing property, known as sabotage. Any
man guilty of sabotage is helping TO
destroy the industries of the country
and is therefore striking at the very
heart of the nation.
The 1. w. w cry is Down with Caps
italism; give us the wealth which our
labor created" ] admit that many
crimes may be laid at the door of cap
italism. But this does not prove that
capital should be abolished. / deny
the statement that the wealth of this
country was created by labor alone
Capital is constantly going ahead and
creating new industries, thnt labor
may benefit therefrom. Capital has
helped make America the foremost ma.
ton of the world. But because the
average |. w. w. has failed to take ad.
vantage of the opportunities offered
him to gain an education and, therefor
has lost all hopes of ever joining the
idle rich" he mingles his voice with
the rest and cries, Down with Cap
italism." The best way to secure oul
just share of worldly goods is to pre-
pare ourselves while we have the
chance. | venture to say that if every
youth of today received a high schoo
education there would be fewer l. w
w. in the world tomorrow. Education
will do more to bring about a stable
division of wealth than all the |. w w
propaganda ever invented.
Too many l. w. w. put the red fiaf
ahead of the red white and blue. Any
person, who calls himself an Ameri
can, who is more loyal to the red fiae
than to the flag of his country is as
much traitor to the United States as
Lenine was to Russia. A stable gov
eminent must pursue moderate
course. The German government Of
the past forty years is an example. oi
one extreme. Russia today is an ex-
ample of the other extreme. And IL
between the two we have the govern
ment of the United States--a govern
ment of the people, for the people, by
the people.-the best government ever
founded on the face of the earth.
