which are giving splendid service. A
few of the rural districts in Kentuck
have done the same thing for their
children, but many counties have been
backward in giving the country child
a real opportunity for first-class ed
ucation because of laws which have
permitted the schools to be pulled into
local politics.
ut is indeed fortunate that both Of
the political parties in Kentucky al
the last session Of the Legislature
laid aside all party feeling, got to-
gether and passed a group Of strong
school laws that will remake the rural
schools. These new school laws will
practically take the County Boards Of
Education and the County Superin-
tendent out Of politics and keep them
out of politics If the voters will think
of the children when they go to the
polls in November.
Every right thinking man and
woman should vote for strong men for
the new County Boards of Educatio~
These right thinking people should
also urge others to do likewise that
every small school shall be developed
to serve the children, and in serving
the children make the State what ii
should be in the future"

Big men ENDORSE new SCHOOL LAW
Democratic Senator and Republican Leader In Accord
On Welfare of Children

Senator ]. c, W. Beckman was seen
some time ago by your staff repre-
sentative who asked the Senator for
his views upon the new County School
Administration Law. The Senator's
very hopeful statement is given in full
below:
while l have not had a chance to
read the entire school law passed by
the last session Of the Legislature, /
have been informed of its general pro-
visions and am very hopeful that it
will accomplish great good for our
county schools and enable them to
make greater progress than ever.
1T Is hardly necessary for me to
say how deeply interested I am In
the school work in our State, for dur
ing the time l was member of the
Legislature, and Governor, l always
gave especial consideration to the
progress and development Of our
school system 1t is great work.
The rural schools have not of course,
had the advantages of the city schools,
and | earnestly hope that the new
system adopted under this law may
prove satisfactory and successful in
every way.
II understand that under the new
law County Boards Of Education are
to be elected in the state on November
End, and l trust that the people of
every county will realize the great i'm
portance of this election and see to il
that the best persons possible to Sc
cure for that work shall be elected.
"The success Of the law will depend
to very considerable extent upon
the character and intelligence Of those
who make up these county boards.

In our State than the improvement
and development of our schools, and
especially the rural schools. | was

MARKETS A SUBJECT OF THE
FARMERS SHORT COURSE.

Markets and market organizations
will come in for special consideration
in the short course in agriculture
which begins November at the Col
lege Of Agriculture and continues to
February rs. No farmer is equal to
cope with the situations that arise an
nually unless he has the other market
mans point of view as well as his own
and his Judgment will also be guided
many times by previous conditions.
The marketing course includes
rapid survey Of the general principles
and conditions underlying the system
of marketing farm products which
have developed in the United States
and foreign countries. It will include
lectures on the fundamental princi-
Piles of market organizations, their
history, growth and present develop
ment, together with studies of the
types and functions or marketing
agencies. The economic value of CO.
operative organizations and their
method Of formation will also be stud
led.

DON'T SKlMP on SCHOOLS

Every magazine and newspaper In
the land Is printing editorials con-
corning the schools Of the nation.
The Youths Companion has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the schools
in America:
"The schools Of America were
founded and maintained by sacrifice
only so can they be preserved. The
teacher must be convinced Of the
value and dignity Of his service that
he will not lightly abandon 1t for
some occupation that offers more ease
or excitement or money. And on the
other hand the public must stop being
niggardly. 1t must tax itself more
heavily for schools than 1t has been
In the habit Of doing, and 1t must pay
salaries that do not degrade the
teacher In the eye Of the community.
Wherever else county must sklmp,
let II not slSlmp on It's schools"
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1920-10-14

realize that good schools for all Of
the children are the solid foundation
stones upon which republic like ours
is erected. Good schools mean an ed
ucated public which will think sanely,
act sanely and vote sanely at all times
and on all questions. That every child.
everywhere may be educated, good
schools must exist in our cities, in
our small towns and in our most re-
mote rural districts.

T. e. Minckley is in town TODAY from
Porthill and states that he has sold
MS ll5 acre ranch near Porthill to
A. A. Green, who comes here from
central Oregon. Possession will he
given April 26. The consideration was
$4,000 per acre, this including stock
and farm implements.
Mr.. and Mrs. Minckley plan to leave
next week for trip to eastern states
where they will visit with relatives
and where they may possibly locate.
Their final destination will be near
Buffalo, n. Y, their former home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Minckley have resided
here for the past eight years and it is
with deep regret that their friends and
neighbors have heard of their decision
to leave. Both have taken an active
part in the neighborhood doings and
for many years Mr.. Minckley has been
road overseer of his district and under
his care the roads were always kent
up in the best If condition.
The Minckley ranch is one of the
choicest in the Porthill district and is
improved with all necessary buildings.
Mr.. Green and his son are practical
farmers and they plan to continue the
cultivation and improvement of the
recently acquired property.

Next Monday and Tuesday, Prof.
Mathieson, assistant dairy expert for
the state extension work, will be in
Boundary county and if the roads are
in condition, will visit the various
communities in company with County
Agent Oman. 1t is planned to have
Prof. Mathieson give a lecture at the
high school auditorium on next Tues
day evening, on dairying, which will
be emphasized by the use of NOV

Sunday, Grant Pritchard, of Sand
point, who is state project chairman
for the land clearing division of the
farm bureau work and who is also the
county project leader for Bonner
county, was in town to consult with
local farm bureau members in regard
to the use of more stumping powder
The Bonner county bureau has now
ordered three carloads of stumping
powder, but, it is believed, will not
need more than half of the third car
and Mr.. Pritchard desired to dispose
of the half carload to farmers of this
county The car will arrive about
Friday of this week and in the mean
time County Agent Oman will learn
whether or not there will be demand
for the powder among the farmers of
Boundary county.

WILL RECEIVE MORE SALARIES
County Officers To Have More Pay
After First of Next Year.

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners held last We'd
nesday a resolution was passed pro-
viding for the increase of salaries
of several county officers, to take eff
feet the beginning of the fiscal year,
1921.
The county commissioners cannot
raise their own salaries as this must
be done by an act of the state legis-
lature. They cannot provide for an
increase in salary for any officer
during the term for which he is elect
ed and this means that the county
auditors salary cannot be raised for
two years yet as he holds office for
four years.
The commissioners felt that it was
absolutely necessary, at this time, to
provide larger salaries for the county
officers, as far as they were able
to do so. One county officer has al
ready left his office for a higher
salaried position. This may be only
temporarily but there are other Off
GERS who feel that they must have
more money or seek other positions.
The commissioners have thus far
agreed on the following raises:

WORK AT CYNIDE GOLD MINE
Fifty Ton Ball Mill In Operation By
the First of July Is Plan

. James LaFountain returned Thurs
day of last week from an extended trim
to Seattle and other coast cities in the
interests of the Cynide Gold Mining Co.
He states that the company is pre-
pairing for extensive development work
and that as soon as the weather per
mits crew of men will be put at work
repairing the road and bridges to the
mine property, 25 miles northeast of
town.
George r. Causton, who is secretary
of the company, was in Spokane sever
al days last week on business for the
company. Both he and Mr.. LaFoun-
tain state that it is expected that the
new 50-ton ball mill will be in opera
tion by July l. A compressor and gas
engine, together with air drills and
cable trans have been purchased and
the work of setting up the new equip
ment will begin about the first of May.
Two shifts are now being worked at
the mine and third will be put on in
the near future.
Mr.. Causton states that more than
2300 feet of tunnel has been run and
that about 5000 tons of ore is now in
sight. All of this ore is rich in gold
values but in past years it was not
possible to save the gold Last year
extensive experiments were made with
the gold saving machine of the Gold
Redemption Company and it was found
that fully 95 percent of the gold was
saved with it. This means that there
is now no question of the value of the
property.

During the day there will be con-

very hearty RESPONSE with regard

unusual amount of interest in the
BOnners Ferry high school on the
part of the people residing in the
rural communities but he has inter-
viewed many who do not know that
the high school here offered its
students complete courses in agri-
culture, commerce and business, man.
ual training, domestic science, music,
physical culture and gymnasium
work
Judging from reports made by
Supt. Kerr it is very probable that
the high school enrolment at the
beginning of the 1920-21 term will
be in the neighborhood of IT'S. Last
year there was a total enrolment
Of S5 students and this year the en-
rOllment jumped to the 120 mark.
The freshman class alone has an en-
rOllment of SO students this year.
With the present population of
Boundary county the high school of
Bonners Ferry should have a high
school enrolment of at least $50 stu
dents and at the present rate of
growth it will reach that mark with
IN three years if 100 per cent at
tendance on the part of the eighth
grade graduates of the county is
secured.
;, Visitors who come to the Bonners
Ferry high schools from other cities,
larger, than Bonners Ferry, always
remark 1 about the splendid, up-to-
cate os equipment provided here and
compliment the town on the excellent
