ent campaign is two per cent of your
net worth. II your quota should be 500,
your net worth is estimated at $1,000.
If you should have to borrow the money
to buy that bond, and pay eight per cent
interest for it, the interest you would
pay during the year would amount to
1875 more than the interest you would
receive from your bond. You are thus
giving $3.75 to your country to help
make America safe for yourself ard for
your children. You have made your
$1,000, or your $4,000, as the case may
be, under the protection of the Stars and
Stripes, and with opportunities which no
other nation on the face of the earth
offers. If you are compelled to borrow
money for a year to buy your bonds, you
are paying out, for the pe%rpetuation of
Americas free Institutions and to uphold
right as against the grossest wrong, the
sun of $3.75 for each $1,000 that you are
worth. Isn't it worth it?-Palouse Re-

Every available acre in the Palouse
country should be planted to wheat, oats,
barley, peas or beans for 1919. All the
land that can be plowed and planted to
wheat this fall should be planted to good
varieties of wheat. The law Of averages
almost insures a bumper crop next year
and we are told that food stuffs will be
reeded by a starving world more next
year than ever before and hat for 10
years after the wal closes the United
States will have to use every available
acre to feed the world. 1t is almost a
cinch" that the Palouse country, which
has yielded the two poorest crops in its
history the past two years, will redeem
itself by giving one of the best crops it
has ever produced in 1919. Let lis plant
every acre and trust to providence to
give us a bountiful harvest.

Many schools are taxing their capacity
to take more students for army training
than they can properly care for. Presi-
dent Lindley is very wisely trying to
the number who come to the Uni
of idaho, preferring to have 500
who can be properly cared for and given
he proper training, than to have 1000
1alf trained and half cared for. The
University of Idaho has won an enviable
equation with the war department with
is first two contingents, because the ia
.jlities of the school were not overtaxed.

Portland (Oregon) women have boy :

announced that they will not wear
id gloves until the war ends. Any r.
omar seen in Portland with kid gloves a
denounced as a Stacker. This is one Y
