The decision Of Congress against
maintaining q large army is good.
A big army makes big trouble
for a nation ]; it is like q man with
too many bad dogs for safety
against neighbors.
So far every nation ilatlfistory has
come to grief soon after adopting
the policy Of large and expensive
armies with compulsory military
service. The present danger to
France is her own arnies no longer
necessary now.

FIND wHIsKEY CACHE THURSDAY
City Police Officers Raid Riverside
Hotel-Proprietor Is Arrested.

r. S. Johnson, proprietor of the Riv-
erside hotel, was arrested last Thurs
day night on the charge of possession
of intoxicating liquors. He waived
preliminary examination and was
bound over to the district court.
The arrest was made by Acting
Marshall James Burns, assisted by
Marshall j. A. Worley. Marshall
Burns had been suspicious that some
one in the hotel was selling liquor
and so during the evening he watched
the place long enough to prove that
his suspicious were well founded and
then asked Marshall Worley, who is
off duty enjoying his vacation, to as
sist him in a search of the building.
Burns slipped into the hotel with a
number of roomers of the place. He
asked the proprietor for drink but
Johnson said that he did not have any
liquor in the place. Burns then an
nounced that he intended to search
the hotel whereupon Johnson said that
he did have small amount of whis-
key which he kept on hand for medical
purposes.
Officers Burns and Worley were sat
isfied that there was more liquor Sc
creted in the building and started to
search for it, Burns finding a cache
of a number of quart bottles concealed
under the floor in the room occupied
by Johnson. The hole in the floor
had been covered with linoleum.

MARIE MUHLFELD PASSES AWAY
Popular and Respected Young Lady Is
Victim of Attack of Pneumonia.

Marie Francis Muhlfeld, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Muhlfeld, passed
away last night shortly after midnight,
death resulting from penumonia.
The funeral services will be held at
$50 o'clock Saturday morning at st.
AIMS Catholic church. Rev. FIR. Kelly
will conduct the services.
The deceased was born in Bonners
Ferry on June 2, 1897. She is sur
vived by her parents and two sisters,
Mrs. Chester Simonds and Miss Dor
othy Muhlfeld.
She was a graduate of the local
grade and high school and upon com
pleting business course in Spokane,
she accepted a position as steno-
grapher and bookkeeper with the First
State Bank. On account of her effic-
iency, business ability and personality
she soon became one of the most val
ued and trusted employees of the bank
and was assistant cashier of the insti-
tuition for several years. Just year
and a month ago she was compelled
to give up her work on account of
poor health. For a time it seemed
that her condition was improving but
a few weeks ago she suffered a cold
and in her weakened condition, pneu-
monia was contracted.
Marie Muhlfeld was one of the most
respected and admired young ladies
of this district, and probably had a
larger circle of friends than any other
person in Boundary county. She was
capable and efficient and respected in
business circles, was popular in So
cial life, took an earnest interest in
religious affairs and was a loving sis
ter and dutiful and devoted daugh-
ter. The entire community joins in
mourning the death of Miss Muhlfeld
and in extending heartfelt sympathies
to the bereaved family.

LARGE CROWDS ATTEND SECOND
ANNUAL BOUNDARY COUNTY FAIR
Larger and Better Exhibits and Good Program of
Amusements Attract Visitors From all Parts of
Boundary County-Creston Folks Here Friday


and some 80 children were given the
examination and tests.
In the educational departments
there were entries from eight school
districts of the county. Next year
it is planned to give more and larger
prizes for displays in this division
as a great deal of interest was shown
in this department this year Mrs
George r. Gray, Mrs. c. w. King and
Mrs. Inez Cave We're judges of the
educational exhibits
o. A. Phillips, manager of the fair,
is to be congratulated upon the sue
cess of his efforts this year. He proved
to be painstaking and accommodate
ing manager. He reports that there
were 101 exhibitors at the fair this
year. Figuring that each exhibitor
made five different entries, which
would be about the average, there
were 505 different exhibits this year.
The midway attractions furnished
by the Northern Amusement Co, were
but few this year. Half of the con-
cessions were not allowed to open up
on account of being games of chance
and the carnival dance pavilion was
also cancelled on account of objec-
tions of various citizens.
The band concerts rendered by the
members of the Walden band were
thoroughly enjoyed and it was re-
marked by all who heard the band that
it has improved wonderfully. 1t was
the unanimous consensus of opinion
that the organization was one of which
Boundary county can be justly proud.
The baseball fans were considerably
disappointed in the games played Fri
day and Saturday The game played
Thursday afternoon between teams
picked from members of the l. O. o. F..
and Woodmen lodges. was the best
game of the three. 1t was a close
contest, the Odd Fellow team winning
by a score of to g.
The Bonners Ferry team won easily
from the Creston ball nine by score
of Is to on Thursday afternoon and
on Saturday afternoon the green lum-
ber team from the plant of the Bon
ners Ferry Lumber Co., had no trouble
in beating the dry lumber crew The
score was 20 to 5.

months is maintained the remainder of
the year Boundary county will have a
new record for the number of births

been 81 births reported to the state
statistician by County Physician E. E.

births for the year should reach the
10 mark.
The number of births dropped TO SIS
in the year 1918. In 1919 there were
S5 births recorded; in 1920 a total of
SO new babies frightened Boundary
county homes.

VETERINARIAN HERE TO
TEST BOUNDARY COUNTY STOCK

IF stock raisers in this section Of
the state insist on observance of the
state and federal laws it should not
be but a short time till there will be
no tuberculosis here, if owners will
avail themselves of the opportunity
to test
"State and federal laws prohibit the
bringing of livestock into this state
from Canada or other states or ship
ping out without the proper examina-
ton and papers to accompany same.
THAT cattle in the mountains or
open all the time seem in no way to
arrest the progress of tuberculosis
has been demonstrated conclusively
by the United States veterinarians.
Besides the danger to people, which
is the foremost question. it is not con-
sidered economical to keep tubercu-
losis cattle. The packing houses have
to allow for the losses and animals
from infected farms always bring less
or are bought subject after it is
known the stock is diseased. Hogs
are invariably tuberculous when the
cattle are, and chickens are not i'm
mune as available figures show 29
per cent to be diseased and so per cent
of the flocks are infected.
"The only requirements for free
testing is observance of the coopera-
tive agreement which must be signed
before the test. Interested owners
should get in touch with the county
agent or the federal veterinarian at
once so each district can be cleaned
up on one trip. which reduces the cost
per head of the testing to the state
and government. The cost last fiscal
year was SIC per head to the United
] States bureau"

DR.. A. r. Mahan, federal veterinar-
ian, with headquarters at Moscow, Ida
no, arrived here Monday planning to
remain in the county as long as his
services are required. He may be
found at the Commercial hotel
DR.. Mahan is here in the interests
of the campaign recently started un-
der state and federal supervision for
the eradication of tuberculosis in cat
tie. There is no charge for his SER
vices and under the present arrange
ments owners are partly compensated
for any loss they may sustain when
animals tested are found to be tuber-
cular and it is necessary to destroy
them.
DR.. Mahan states that an average
of 2.35 per cent of the cattle tested
in Idaho react to the test (are found
to be tubercular) and of these about
10 per cent are found to be general
lied cases. In the United States the
highest state average is IL per cent
and the lowest is 0.32 per cent. The
average is about 4.25 per cent.
Speaking of the tubercular tests
being made, DIR. Mahan said
While the average is low in Idaho
the work can be better appreciated
when it is known that about 80 pei
cent of all tuberculosis Consumption
in children under II years of age comes
from cattle and many lives are pre-
maturely lost or ruined because mill
from consumptive cattle was used
Some owners in the east are said to bt
under arrest for manslaughter fol
selling milk from cows known to bt
diseased, in addition to facing large
damage suits.
