control. and the system Of extra pay
for overtime.
Il believe that a man who works
hard for eight hours has done a
pretty good days work and that for
anything over eight hours he should
get extra pay.
But it is absurd TO apply this TO
every man whose time happens TO
run over eight hours
There are thousands Of station
agents in littlC towns who don't &C
tually work more than three hours
a day. Two or three or four trains
pass through the town and the agent
is on hand for a little while before
and after each train. IL is absurd
TO give him overtime just because his
last train at night passes through
more than eight hours after the first
one.
But labor is only one OF the
costs that must come down. I think
the railroads can save this year at
least 10000 in coal alone. Most
Of the roads paid highly eXtrava-
CANT prices for coal last year. They
bought on contracts that were ex-
tremely excessive. The business
judgment of railroad managers in
buying coal was exceedingly poor.
Need For Consolidation.
"One OF the most essential things
necessary for efficient railroad man
agement is the consolidation of the
roads into IA or Is big systems.
The provision for this i'm the
transportation act OF 1920 is not
mandatory, but merely permissive. I
made every effort TO have it obliga-

The farmers didn't like it because
it eliminated competition. but they
are seeing things differently now. for
they have a very effective plan under
way for cooperative marketing that
will eliminate competition in the
sale of their products.

Keeping the engine cool bv an

The plan is to cool the oil in the

small radiator fitted back Of the
water radiator. The hot oil COM
ing from the engine would be re-
turned cool and would help cool the
motor internally.
Fins attached to the crankcase.

keep the oil cool. But If the high

would come closer to expectation

BALL GAME
SCORE, 5 TO 4

The baseball game played last Fri
day afternoon at the fair grounds be-
tween the County Officials and Busi-
ness Mems ball teams, was won by the
County Officials by a score of to A.
The game was witnessed by large
crowd and it was the unanimous opin-
ion of all that it was the most inter-
esting game of the season.
The Bonners Ferry clerks have
challenged the winners to play a game
in the near future
Considering the fact that but few of
the players on either team had played
ball for many years it is remarkable
that so few errors were made and that
the scores were held so close The
only runs made were in the first and
fourth innings
In the first inning the Business Men
sent four players across the home
plate-H -Heathershaw. Megquier, Farms
worth and Gay. These runs were
made possible by a succession of err
rors, wild throws and hits made off
Cave. the County Officials pitcher.
After the first inning, however, Cave
pitched pretty game and allowed but
few hits.
In the fourth inning the County Of
ficials managed to run in five scores.
Bliss, pitcher for the Business Men,
had lost considerable of the pep he
displayed in the first three innings
and the County Officials hit him freely
Several errors were made, too. that
helped getting in the five scores made
by Cave, Bill Heathershaw, White.
King and Brody. In the fifth inning
Harry Kinnear pitched for the Busi-
ness Men. In this inning Saunders
went to third base and White to sec
ond base. With the exception of the
first, fourth and fifth innings no play
er of either team managed to reach
third base.
Jack Mcnamara umpired the
game. The gate receipts amounted to
about $56 The expenses of the game
were $3.50 and the remainder will be
turned over to the Boundary County
Fair association.

To Improve Cemetery

community meeting will be held
in the court house of Bonners Ferry
at s p. m. Friday evening, August
26th, under the auspices OF the Civic
League for the purpose of forming q
corporation or association to take care
of the local cemetery. 1t is generally
admitted that the present state of the
cemetery is in a very unsatisfactory
condition and that means should be
taken to improve this condition. The
city council is willing to turn the up
keep of the cemetery over to such an
association and to give them the in
come from the selling of lots and
graves, proceeds of which will be used
in beautifying the cemetery.
Everyone in the community should
be and is interested in the way the
cemetery is kept which the associa-
tion intends to do by erecting tank
so that water will be had in keeping
the cemetery green. With this infor-
nation it is hoped that large attend
ance will be present, so that a work
ing association or corporation will be
formed, and also to be in a position
to raise such funds as will be neces-
sary.

ASKS $l4OO OF
BONNERS FERRY

A special meeting of the Kootenai
Valley Commercial Club was held at
the International hotel banquet rooms
Saturday noon in order that members
might hear of the plans of the Idaho
Development association, which were
presented by DR.. F. Vining Fisher, of
Boise, and o. II. Barber, state COM
missioner of the department of immi-
grafton.
Mr.. Barber told of progress being
made and of the success the project
had met in other towns of Idaho, and
of the expenditure of funds received
thus far. DR.. Fisher, who originated
the publicity campaign which is to be
carried out by the Idaho Development
association and who is to tour east
ern states in the effort to bring new
settlers to this state, presented an
outline of what the association hopes
to accomplish. The plan of the Idaho
Development association was pub
lished in the Herald recently.
Briefly, it proposes the sale of $40
bonds throughout the state, on basis
of quotas at 81 per capita for each
community, to raise $500,000 for The
preparation of a mammoth Idaho pub
licity campaign to be carried all over
the nation and attract travel aud set
tlement to this state during and after
the Portland exposition in 1925. Its
plans include a Photographic survey
of the state during the remainder OF
this year and in 1922 and a lecturing
writing moving picture campaign OF
publicity for Idaho everywhere in 1922
and 1928, as well as the establishment
of speakers in the II largest centers
of the country to speak at all towns
in their various areas during these
years.
The visitors asked that the Kootena
Valley Commercial Club raise S140(
as its quota of the sum needed tc
carry out the plans of the Idaho De-
velopment association.
On motion a committee of five was
appointed by President Fry to confer
further with DIR. Fisher and Mr.. Bar.
ber, and to make a recommendation
to the club. The committee wilr make
report at the club meeting next Mon
day night and final action will b,
taken at that time.
Mr.. Barber reported that thus fal
every town visited had given tine as
surance that the quota requested of i
will be raised.

County agents of seven northern
counties of Idaho and a number OF
state officials and members of the
state extension department, met at
Standpoint last week, to discuss agri-
cultural topics and to outline gem
eral plan of work for the ensuing year.
The most important decision of the
conference was to re-institute the
farmers schools, system Of educa-
ton in the rural districts which was
abandoned several years ago.
These schools will be conducted ac-
cording to the facilities for their oper-
alton in the various counties. In some
places the schools will be held for dis
trict classes, similar in operation to
the present community system of the
farm bureau, and in other places but
one school will be held in county,
at the county seat. Bonner county
will have several of these schools in
the various districts while in Boundary
county but one school will be formed,
at Bonners Ferry.
Problems related to the particular
difficulties of the sections wherein
they are held will be the chief topics
for study and experts of the extension
service, farm bureau and state depart
ment Of agriculture will lecture be-
| fore the farmer students.
General methods of farm bureau OPP

fall and for next year were also dis
cussed at some length.

TO EXTEND ORGANIZATION
New Boy Scout Plan to Unite Bonner

Percy Frazier of Coeur d'Alene, Boy
Scout executive for the Kootenai-Sho-
shone county organization, was in the
city Monday and met with a dozen
members of the local scout council
when it was decided to perfect a two
county scout organization to include
Bonner and Boundary counties, with
the headquarters in Standpoint where
a full-time, paid executive would be
on duty.
The financing of the organization
will demand in excess of $4,000 per
year, it was estimated. and the Sand
point quota would remain the same
as under the local organization as at
present in effect, $2500. A reorgani-
zation would be undertaken about
January 1, to date pledges from that
date in place of from the fiscal year
now in effect here. Arrangements
were also made to have Mr.. Frazier
return about September Is to actively
engage upon the work of organizing

BAN. ON HAY
IS REMOVED

Montana has released from quaran-
tine shipments or alfalfa hay and cer-
cal straws from Lemhi, Latah, Bene-
wah, Shoshone, Kootenai, Bonner and
Boundary counties, according to quar-
antine order No. by proclamation Of
Governor Joseph M. Dixon. The proc
lamation was received Friday by W.
H. Wicks, director of the bureau of
plant industry, state department of
agriculture.
Under the provisions of the quaran-
tine order no shipment of alfalfa hay
or cereal straw will be allowed into
Montana except from the seven coun-
ties. The prohibition is due to alfalfa
weevil in Idaho.
Alfalfa weevil does not exist in the
seven counties released from the ban,
according to Mr. Wicks. Last year,
in 1920, Montana quarantines barred
the shipment of alfalfa hay from all
Idaho counties.
Shipment of hay from Utah into
Montana is prohibited by the order
Certain counties in Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Nevada and Oregon are also
barred from shipping hay into Mon
tana.
Shipment of Idaho potatoes, fresh
fruits and vegetables, alfalfa meal and
nursery stock is allowed by the order
from the remainder of the Idaho coun-
try, subject to certain prescribed reg
ulations.
