Information Service" is a
new phase. 1t came in with the
war. The government found that
it needed something more than
guns and ammunition and uni
forms to win the war with. 1t
needed cooperation and unified
action on the part of the people.
! The govrnment also learned
that you cannot fight a war UNI
less the people understand what
the far is for. So it created a
vast machinery of propaganda
and information to communicate
the facts about the war to the
people. In a few months, by pub
Lefty articles, moving picture
films, four minute speakers, etc,
a great service of information
was created. 1t revolutionized the
spirit of the people. 1t fired the
heart of the nation to action, and
won the war.

Two Spots

Most men brush their hair at
least twice a day, but they don't
all stop to think how frowsy
their home place looks unless the
grass 81 cut out of the walks at
least once every year.
After throwing away old
clothes not at all worn because
they are a bit out of style, the
city folks complain at the high
cost of living caused by the ex-
actions of the farmers.
The farmer, as pictured by the
smart cartoonist, still sometimes
wears a bushy beard. Naturally
the man who is working IL hours
a day to feed the hungry world
does not have time to visit the
barber every other week.

THE PEEVER PILOT

a general barrel of waste, it may
not be worth picking over. 1t is
just as easy to classify it in diff
ferent receptacles. The result is
not merely that you can get a
considerable price from the junk

ust help keep down the price Of
manufactured products, which
rise because of scarcity of ma

Great forests have to be cut
down to supply the paper demand
that could be saved if the enor-
NOUS destruction of paper stock
could be stopped. The majority of
people already save their old
newspapers, which has done a
lot to hold down the price which
already is far too high.
But an enormous waste is still
going on of old envelopes, letters
circulars, wrapping paper, etc,
This material has to be arranged

to the unsettled labor conditions to a

DEFEAT LIBBY BY A BIG sCOR-
Local Basket Ball Team Win Easily
from Montana Visitors

The basket ball five of the Bonners
Ferry high school again demonstrated
their ability as basketeers when they
defeated the crack team from the Lib
by high school to the tune of so to IL
at the local gym last Thursday even
ing The visitors had been preceded
by reports that gave them an enviable
reputation and the poor showing they
made was surprise to the fans. The
home boys state, however, that the
public should not be misled by this
game as in fact, the Libby boys are a
strong, fast team and will give a much
better showing on a larger floor, the
small floor here proving a great handi-
cap for them.
The locals played a fast, consistent
game from start to finish, showing
good team work and great speed.
They apparently had the visitors far
outclassed and practically the entire
game was played in the Libby terri
tory, the visitors only scores result
ing from fouls by the locals. IL
would be difficult to pick any particu-
lar star from the Boomers team My
ers, Allen and Boileau scored heavily
for Boomers, while the guarding of
Wallace and Crissey was excellent
The scoring by the local team follows
Myers, IL field baskets, one foul +;
Allen. eight field baskets; Boileau, six
field baskets, one foul; Wallace, three
field baskets. The first half closed
10 to in favor of Bonners Ferry and
the second Al to Bert Gay acted as
referee, Baker, of Libby. as umpire
Roy Voshmik as score-keeper and
Supt. Kerr as time keeper.
! The local team is expecting to make
a trip into Montana soon when they
will probably meet the teams of Lib.
by, Eureka, and Kalispel Dates are
not yet certain but a return game a
Libby will probably be played Febru
airy % and at Eureka on March /. Eu
reka is scheduled to play here abou
March T. The locals expect hard con
tests at Libby, Eureka and Kalispe
there being large floors at each place
which will turn the tables and give thu
home teams the advantage over Bon
ners Ferry players. The local boy
would like a large number of rooter
to accompany them on this trip an,
would make this possible for at leas
the Libby game.

AT HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
No Admission VIII Be Charged-Large
Audience Is Expected Friday

1t has been long time since the
people of Bonners Ferry have had an
opportunity to listen to real old
fashioned debate but any desire along
this line that may have been lying DOR
mant can be satisfied on Friday night
of this week when the following live
question which should and does both
interest and effect every person, will
be discussed:
Resolved: That federal government
ownership of railroads is desirable in
the United States"

simply to bring out the strongest and
best points for and against government
ownership of railroads and there are
going to be some interesting and in
81 uSlANC AdCtS DiOu6nl Out ny UOlD
sides for there is much to be said
both for and against government own
ership of railroads.
The debate will be held in the audi
forum of the high school building and
will start at eight o'clock. There
will be no admission charged and the
public is invited to attend.
There will be several musical num-
bers and this part of the program is
in charge of the Boomers Ferry high
school chorus.
Probate Judge E. r. Henderson is
the promoter of the debate and he is
confident that the topic is one that
will interest everyone and that the de.
baters will handle the question in such
manner that there will be a demand
for further entertainments of like
nature.

FIVE NIGHTS
ENTERTAINMENT
acuAuTAUQUA FESTIVAL COMING
10 BoNNERs FERRY MARCH
z, s, 10, II, AND 1s
AUSPICES LYCEUM ASSOCIATION
rh,s CITY Gets High Class Attractions
at the Very Lowest Prices

Ono of the finest series of enter
.a,nments offered by the Ellison-White
rrcaum bureau is to be brought to
n.nners Ferry in March under the
ousnices of the Boomers Ferry Lycum
association which closed a contract
with Guy Young yesterday for What
&c known as the "Chautauqua Festi-
ro,, This is five night attraction
and never before has been given to
anv city under less than $500 guar
antee. Bonners Ferry people will
have the privilege of attending each
entertainment at cost OF only $l.75,
the price of a season ticket.
The reason that the local lyceum
osaociation was able to secure this
series of entertainments at this time
az the low price is on account Of the
fact that in many places where the
aChautauqua Festival had been con-
,racted il was impossible to keep dates
nm account of Spanish influenza cpl
denies. The epidemics made it nee
essary to change all plans and sched-
ples of the Ellison-White Lyceum
course and now the company has a
few untitled dates. 1t is a case of
one towns loss being another's gain.
The "Chautauqua Festival" will
come here on March and there will
he different entertainment each night
for five nights. The festival will be
held at the X. P. hall. Single admis-
sions will be so and rs cents. There
is no guarantee and if the festival is
attended as well as it deserves the
Boomers Ferry Lyceum association
will not only be able to make up its
present deficit on the regular winter
course but will probably have money
on hand with which to secure more
attractions next winter.
Several of the entertainers coming
here next month are known to the
people of Bonners Ferry and have es-
tablished their claim as highclass ar.
lists. Every number is guaranteed
TO please. Following is the list Of
entertainers coming. The people car
easily Judge whether or not the "Chau
tauqua Festival" is to be a wonderful
opportunity in the way of entertain
ment and instruction:
March 7-Poluhni, the Magician.
March S-Mary Adele Hayes, the
noted American soprano. Miss Atti
yeh, an Assyrian woman, will also
give an address on 1.-The Rule of tn,
Ottoman Turks"
March 10-Dr. Elliott A. Boyle, lect
urer, subject, Seen and Unseen"
March 11-Sergeant Gibbons, whit
saw three years service with the Can
adam army overseas and was in Ger
man prison for seven months.
March 12-The Liberty Bellies Or
chestra
The prices of the season tickets ant
the single admissions as named abov
include the war tax.
Mr. Guy Young, who came here t
arrange for the "Chautauqua Festival
will be remembered as the superin
tendent of the chautauqua held her
last summer. Mr.. Young assures al
the citizens of this district that the
will not be disappointed in a singl
number of the "Chautauqua Festival.

WANTS POWDER
TO CLEAR LAND
REPRESENTATIVE KENT WOULD
HAVE GOVERNMENT DISTRIB-
UTE SURPLUS POWDER
100000 POUNDS ON HAND
Aims To Make Cheap Explosive Avail
able To North Idaho Farmers

Tons of T. ~ T. which would have
been used for blowing up Germans If
things hadn't turned out as they did
last November, will be used to blow
stumps out of North Idaho cut over
lands, If congress heeds a memorial
introduced in the Idaho house of rep
resentatives Monday morning by A. j.
Kent, of Boundary county, and passed
under suspension of rules, says the
Boise Statesman.
Kent's plan is to take the high-pow-
err explosives, which will rapidly de-
preciate in value il left in storage
and distribute it through county COM
missioners to farmers who could use
il to clear cut over lands that would
grow large crops of hay, grain and
vegetables without irrigation if i'm
proved. Many farmers are unable to
clear such land because OF the high
cost of powder.
The memorialist points out that
there are thousands of acres OF such
lands in Boundary, Bonner, Kootenai
Benewah, Shoshone, Latah, Ciearwa-
ter Idaho and Lewis counties.
Representative Kent writes the ed
itor of the Herald that he has been
informed by F. W Hanna, a govern
ment consulting engineer of cut over
lands, that the government has on hand
about twenty million pounds of T. N
T. powder which it has no use for and
which is available at this time for
the clearing of stump lands and the
construction of highways

DIR. Landquist Coming Here To Locate

DR.. C. E. Landquist, a dentist of
Lewiston, Idaho, was here Sunday and
yesterday, the guest of his brother-in-
law, Fl. A Allen. The visitor came
here to look over the field with a view
of locating and has decided that he
will make Bonners Ferry his. home.
He has leased the front rooms over
]. w. Reid's store in the l. o. o. F.
building and will take possession the
first of the month.
DR.. Landquist is highly recommend
ed as dentist which profession he has
followed for many years. He has
one of the largest and finest equip
ments for a dental office in the state
and plans to ship this equipment here
as soon as he can close his present
Office in Lewiston.
DIR. Landquist was very favorably
impressed with Boomers Ferry and
the surrounding country and is con.
fident that this district will grow "a.
pidly in the next few years.
