Don't Be a silly Bee

oh. when a bee eats all his honey
he's like a chump that spends his
money-never dreaming, never think
ing. of the winter coming soon; when
the dew is still adjoining all the grass
lets in the morning its good time, its
the right time, to get the dinner that
you're sure to need at noon II you
spend each shining quarter in a way
YOU hadn't ort'er, its sign that you
are wobbly in the place they call your
head: when your coin you're wildly
blowing, it isn't wisdom you are show
ing-its Just proof that you'll be lucky
if you live till you are dead On, lit
tie men and little women, while In
wealth you're gaily swimming, just
remember that, like water, 1t can
eyaporate away-though the sun be
brightly shining, by economy declin-
ing. you're inviting slushy shedding on
some future sloppy day. Then be
wise and up and doing-cut out this
useless strewing of dinero Ger the
landscape far and wide; be bee that
saves his honey, buy some War Stamps
with your money-when you're hungry
Won can nibble them with pride.

TWENTY-NINTH YEAR TODAY

years and then it was leased to the
present proprietor who purchased II
and who for over seven years has been
its editor.
Today it is with considerable pride
that the management of the Boomers
Ferry Herald can say that the Herald
plant is one of the best equipped in
Northern Idaho and that there is no
town in the northwest, so far as is
known, of the size of Bonners Ferry,
with better equipped newspaper and
job printing plant. The publication
is also given credit for being worthy
of the county and people who support
it and for many years the Herald has
been receiving compliments along
this line which, we trust, were given
in sincerity.
At this time, on the eve of the Goth
year of publication of the Herald, the
management is glad to again thank
the patrons who have made it possible
for the Herald to progress as a news
paper and in a business way. The
Herald has had loyal support of the
citizens and business men of this dis
trict-the most loyal support ever en-
jcyed by any country newspaper and
this support has been appreciated.
The management hopes that part OF
the support given has been merited
but it is appreciated that in many in
stances there will always be an OBJ
legation on the side of the proprietor
The coming year the Herald has
plans for a better paper and more
equipment for it's plant. AS in the
past years the Herald will endeavoi
to cover all the news of the county
and to send into all the homes the
message of the merchant and business
man. The Herald columns will al.
ways be open to articles which tend
to boost the district, bring in new
people and promote the general wei
fare of the citizens.

This issue of the Boomers Ferry
Herald begins the goth year for the
publication founded by S. d. Taylor,
now citizen of Boise.
1t is hard even for the oldest resi-
dents of the country to realize that
the Bonners Ferry Herald, for 2S years
past, has been chronicling the happen
ings of this district but there are a
number of people in this county who
yet remember the first issue of the
Herald, then known as the Kootenai
Herald, and who have continued to
receive the paper ever since which
was first published on July The
printing was done on a Universal
press, foot-power, of course and the
office and home of the editor was a
frame building located in the vicinity
of the DR.. Fry home on Cottage ave-
nue.. Some years after the Office was
moved to the building now occupied
by the Seattle restaurant on Main
street where it remained until about
Is months ago, the plant then being
moved to its present commodious
quarters in the Enterprise brick
block. The little type, press and all
of the meager equipment of the first
Herald Office was brought here from
Kootenai station on the ~ p. railway
and was carted over the mountains by
team of mules.
Editor Taylor struggled along fol
many year attempting to make liv-
ing with his newspaper and job print
ing plant. 1t was a tough old grin(
but he managed to keep the wolf from
the door and to come out on top il
the many local and county scraps
in which country editor must TAX,
part, one side or the other. Finally
Taylor was nominated and elected
auditor of the state and he then LEASED
his paper to Bert Hall, now in thu
printing business in Spokane. Hal
