SOLD MANY
XMAS SEALS

The final report of the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals has been pre-
pared by Mrs. Caroline w. Flood, in
charge of the sale in this county, and
shows that a total of $325.0O worth
of seals were sold. The county
quota was $400. OF the sales made in
the county $2O5 worth were sold by
the effort of Mrs. S. T. Faucet, city
chairman. Most of the balance was
sent in by the school children and the
teachers of the county.
Among the school children the best
sales record was made by Cleo Strong,
of Naples, who sold 367 seals. The
pupils of the Naples school alone, sold
1855 seals. The Bonners Ferry
schools sold ISIS seals; the Northside
school sold 1,086 seals; the Hooker
school sold 700 seals; the school at
the Idaho Gold & Ruby Mine, sold 600
seals.
Mrs. Flood states that very few of
the schools returned any of the orig
inal seals sent them to sell and many
schools sent for another supply.
Boundary county will no doubt see
direct results from the sale of the Red
Cross Christmas seals as it is proba-
BILE that the county Will have the SER
vices of trained nurse for six weeks
during March and April. This nurse
will make survey of the county, ex-
anime the children of the county
schools and hold classes in the home
care of the sick. All her expenses
will be paid by the Anti-Tuberculosis
society. This organization also fur
nishes all the supplies of the Modern
Health Crusade to the schools of the
county. The money paid for the Rec
Cross seals will be more than repaid
to us in service.
County Chairman Mrs. Flood anC
City Chairman, Mrs. Faucet, are very
appreciative of the support given then
in the recent Red Cross Christmai
seal campaign and they state that thu
success of the campaign was in larg
measure due to the hearty cooperation
given by the business men Of Bonner
! Ferry.

BLANCETT HANGED EARLY
THIS MORNING AT JAIL

E. w. Blancett was hanged in the
county jail yard in this city between
five and six o'clock this morning
for the murder of Clyde D. Armour
near Glorieta three years ago last
December.
This is the elimination of a case
which has attracted wide attention
for over three years and in which
the accused had the assistance OF
an able counsel who exhausted every
legal defense before the District and
Supreme courts of the state, the U.
s. Supreme court and finally before
the governor.
The evidence was largely circum-
stantial but the conduct of the ac-
cused. in first claiming that he knew
nothing about the killing. later clailn-
ing that it was an accident, his at
tempt to commit suicide and his dis
position Of the property, and money
of the murdered man and other in
cidents were all so conclusive that
no Judge, jury, or official, of the
more than twenty five who consid-
cred the case at different times,
could find any reasonable doubt OF
his guilt, or any extenuating cir
cumstances whatever
