FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR.

In making their choice for county

county should consider the abilities
of S. II. Smith OF Post Falls for that
position, and by the way it is fair to
remember that Post Falls has never
had an official in the county court
house, other than commissioners,
which is district Office.
For thirty years Mr.. Smith has
resided 10 Post Falls aud during all
those years has been an active and
public spirited citizen: serving on the
town and school board at different
periods.
lie has been chairman OF the school
board, and is now chairman of the
village board. Served the people
nlne years as postmaster and also
served one term in the legislatures.
Since the beginning of the war Mr..
Smith has shown his colors as a
patriotic citizen by actinge as chair
man OF the council of defense having
mad charge Of The Liberty Loan, Red
cross, Y. NJ G. A. and Y. w. C. A.
drives, all OF which have been sue
ceSsful and deputy food administrator.

A vote for Miles Egbers for state
senator will be vote for a capable
man and loyal citizen. If elected
he will serve all the people and
support measures deemed essen
tial to win the war, promote scien-
tific and practical education and
provide for the best interests of
the soldiers now as we'll as when
they return home to be absorbed
back into industrial and product
i've occupations. So far as county
division is concerned, Mr.. Egbers
advocates leaving that question TO
the vote of the people in 1920.
This is fair to Occur d'Alene as
well as all other parts Of the
county, and defers the question
until a time when the war will in
all probability be over. Other
things are very important now and
Mr.. Egbers will not be found
sighting these more important
things should he be elected state
senator.
