School Eelection August 18th

On August 18th the qualified elect
ors of School District No. IA will vote
on the question of whether or not the
district shall become an independent
school district. The question will be
decided by majority of those voting.
The voting will take place at the
Northside schoolhouse and the polls
will be open from 1870 to 500 D. m.
Some time ago a number of the pat
rons of the Northside school circulated
a petition to the county commission
ers asking that the district be per-
mitted to change from common
school district to an independent
school district, the object being to
better the condition of the school. At
a recent meeting of the county COM
missioners favorable action was taken
in regard to the petition.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
the vote of the patrons of District No.
IA will be largely in favor of an in
dependent school district At the
present time there is but one indie
pendent school district in Boundary
county, that including the territory of
Boomers Ferry and surrounding coun-
try to the south, west and east.

Secretary Ross of the Idaho Farm
Bureau Federation says these reports
are arriving daily and the outstanding
problems in this inter-mountain coun-
try developed by these hearings, are
high freight rates, bad distribution, fl
nance, failure of the retail trade to
reduce their price below war period,
which is the cause of the apparent
buyers strike. AS a result all the sac
rifice made by the farmer in produc-
ing his crops at loss, simply goes
to swell the profits of the retailer,
and pay the increase in freight rates
of the railroads, molly-coddled by the
government.

The most progressive movements

All Business Men Interested In Sc
curing Fair Plan.

The merchants and business men OF
Boomers Ferry have found it neces.
sary to follow the example of all other
towns and cities and organize for the
purpose of controlling the extension
of credit.
They realize that they have been al
together too lenient in the extension
of credit and that the time has come
when some definite and concerted
action must be taken.
1t is the purpose and desire of the
merchants to furnish their patrons
with merchandise just as cheaply as
1t can be sold anywhere which is abb
solutely impossible under the present
credit system.
The initial meeting was held last
week and every business man in the
town is interested and all have sig
nified their willingness to become
members of the Organization and to
support any agreement reached.
A close study of the situation is
now being made and definite action
will be taken in a very short time.
Whatever plan is agreed upon will be
uniform in all places of business, and
it is the purpose to have at hand the
credit standing of all parties having

worked out it will be well advertised
and the business men will be obligated
to enforce it to the letter.

that the best interests of industry are
served by bringing together all who
take part therein. That employer and
employee can settle their problems
better by mutual conference and con-
Citation than by warfare and fighting

This is being tried out all over the
country-the plan of a union in which
both operators and employees are mem
bers and work together for the settle
ment of labor problems. The Inter
national Harvester Co., of Chicago.
the Garment Workers of. Cleveland, the
printing trades in Baltimore, the lum-
Der industry of the northwest, all have
pioneer organizations working for this
purpose.
THE 4L's-Loyal Legion of Log
gers and Lumbermen-a local of which
is working in Boomers Ferry, has been
practically demonstrating for the past
two years that a policy of compromise
is more effective than a policy of
fighting All through the industrial
depression the Ais have maintained
the 8-hour day, minimum wage, and
best of ALL spirit of harmony and
mutually. Outside the Loyal Legion
there have been strikes and hard feel
ing; outside the Ais wages have gone
down almost to vanishing point, In
the Ais, operators and men have
been facing the problems as partners
with a mutual interest, and the or
ganization will come through stronger
than ever, because it has proved its
principles of mutually and square
dealing"

the hospitality of the naval and army
authorities. At the air station, Capt
Christy, the commandant, together with
his staff welcomed the visitors at the
dock. The commandant even had the
band to play for the Kiwanians, Il
feature which they appreciated highly.

showing them the beach and the light
er-than-a air sections. A flying circus
had been arranged for the visitors and
the stunts of a great group of sea-
planes and flying boats held the atten-
ton of the Kiwanians for half an hour.
Three Mos looped and spinned for
the visitors while an R-6-L dropped
torpedoes and a group of H-16A's and
HISS did formation flying.
Over in the Iighter-than-ai air section
the visitors inspected a couple of dirig-
ibles and a kite balloon. One kite was
being towed and another was in the
hangar. The braves were much i'm
pressed with the size of the hangar
which some of them are planning to
buy for a tribal wigwam.
Leaving the air sta son, the Braves
again boarded the Bronx and the va
rious yacht club boats and proceeded
to Fort Pickens. Immediately upon
landing a great cry was set up for
chow and Big Chief Langford of the
local club had a hard time keeping the

sandwiches, fried snapper, soft drinks
and coffee. There was plenty for all
and proof of this was that great guam
titles were left over in spite of the
raging appetites of which the Kiwan-

A tour of the island and inspection
of the ancient and modern fortifica-
tons was next in order. Each local
Brave was kept busy explaining the
mysteries Of the ancient Spanish works
and telling as much as he knew of the
modern batteries.
The Braves left the island at o'clock
and arrived in the city shortly after 5
o'clock, having spent an exceedingly
enjoyable afternoon. All were pleased
with the cOrdiality of Capt. Christy
and his officers at the navy yard and
expressed the same feeling for Col.
Brady and his splendid hospitality and
cooperation in welcoming the visitors
to the army area.

BY some senators the words of the
president We're taken to mean that
his mind was still open on the ques-
ton of reserved ratification and that
he merely suggested that course as
preferable to a separate peace. The
points stressed by him in this Connec-
ton and emphasized recently in other
administration quarters was that the
United States must find some way to
reach a diplomatic agreement with
both Germany and allies which fully
protect such advantages as this gov
eminent gained under the unratified
pact of Versailles.
In his endorsement of the peace
declaration the president expressed
disapproval of the proposal OF some
senators to attach to the declaratory
resolution a general expression of the
American governments policy toward
future European war. This proposal
has taken various forms. but the a
mendment most favored in recent
discussion would declare that if Eu-
ropean peace and civilization again
were threatened the United States
would regard it as a menace to its
own safety and would take steps to
prevent a world catastrophe
Mr. Harding gave congress no ex-
preston of his views on the forma-
ton of an association of nations mere
ly renewing in his address his pledge
to work for such an organization with
all the diplomatic means available.

no betrayal of the deliberate express

say to the world in general and to our
