Don't Miss "Three Live Ghosts"

Judging from reports received by
the management of the Opera House
Three Live Ghosts" new Para
mount picture, produced by George
Fitzmaurice, which comes to the
Opera House for today and tomorrow,
is a big success. Anna @. Nilsson
and Norman Kerry, both well known
to the Paramount audiences, are fea-
tured players. The support is quite
adequate.
The story is romantic. Three bud
dies, Billy Foster, an American, jim
my Gubbins, cockney, and "Spoofy,'
a shell-shocked soldier whose mind is
a blank, escape from German prison
and return to England as stoWaways
on Armistice night. Jimmys mother
and Topsy Woofers, his sweetheart,
mourn him as dead. The three pals
make an exciting getaway from the
vessel and go to London. Sure they're
back. No more dead than you are.
The Great War casualty list exag-
gerated their taking off and-Holy
Moses, what kinks it put in these
three GHOSTS" and the folks they'd
left behind. And holy cats, what
changes, surprises, scandals and
things hit that old burg then. Buddie
said 20 Grave Where Is Thy Vic
to-ree?" o death where Is thy sting
0 boy, let's 60.
Other pictures and the Opera
House orchestra will make up a pro-
gram that is bound to please.-Ady.

upon the subject of license to sell

advised that upon the facts relative
to county agents of the Farm Bureau,
it Is our opinion that such agents are
not required under the law to take

tinue In or carry on the business of
selling or dealing in nursery stock, in
this State, either as owner thereof or
agent OF such owner. without first OBJ
tanning a license to carry on and
conduct such business in the State.
This. 1t will be noted, prohibits
one as owner or agent of the owner of
nursery stock from selling or taking
orders of such nursery stock in the
State, and we understand that the
county agents. referred to are neither
tho owne~s nor the agents of owners
selling nursery stock; they represent
no nursery but are simply the agents
OF the farmers who are doing CO.

Greedy Pickers Are Reported To BE
Destroying Bushes.

That the huckleberry bushes of
this section are threatened with de-
struction through the habit of many
pickers, principally Indians. who tear
the bushes up by the roots ard then
thresh off the berries to increase their
daily pickings, was the statement
made at the Monday meeting OF the
commercial club.
The huckleberry harvest in this
vicinity has reached such proportions
that several hundred dollars worth of
the berries are shipped from Bonners
Ferry daily during the height Of the
season L. n. Brown, in speaking be-
fore the club. said his store alone had
shipped as high as 100 gallons a day.
or the equivalent of S100
The club secretary was instructed

destroying the bushes, and also TO the

cooperate in preserving the crop for
the future
The huckleberry grounds in Bound

derstood that at present rangers are
powerless to prevent the Indians. who
are government wards, from DESTROY
