Mrs. Walker, has been attending the
annual encampment of the G. A. r.

occasion of the G. A. r. parade and
that over 100000 people cheered and
showered roses on the Civil war vet
Grams and women gave up their seats
on the street cars to the old soldiers.
Continuing Mrs. Walker writes: I'VE
are meeting former students almost
constantly who are charitable enough
to persuade us that we have not spent
our lives entirely in vain. Having
the time of our lives. the only draw
back is that just now Mr.. Walker is
unable to leave his bed on account
of too strenuous day yesterday in
the parade"

SEPTEMBER q
IS The DATE
+. A. SHULTIS AGAIN TO BE CHAIR.
MAN OF LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
IN BOUNDARY COUNTY
QUOTA IS NOT KNOWN NOW
State Went Over the Top In the Last
Drive

F. A. Shultis, who has been chair
man in Boundary county for the last
three Liberty Loan bond drives, has
been named the chairman of the
fourth drive which will begin on the
2Sth of September. He was called to
Occur d Alene City yesterday to con-
fer with nj. b. Gwinn,, of Boise, state
chairman, and the various county
chairmen of northern counties, in re-
gard to the organization plans for the
coming drive.
Mr.. Shultis states that his executive
committee and precinct workers APP
pointed for the last drive will be asked
to do the same work in the coming
one. The secretary of the treasury,
w. G. McAdoo, has not yet made pub
lie the amount OF the next loan and
until this is done 1t will not be known
the sum that this county will be ex-
pected to raise. 1t is known that the
interest rate on the fourth issue will
be AZ per cent.
Mr.. Shultis plans to call his COM
mitteemen together in the near future
and perfect the organization for the
coming drive.
Purchasers of the fourth Liberty
Loan bonds may have delivery the first
day of the campaign according to
plans now being made by the treasury
department. The bureau of printing
and engraving is making thousands of
the bonds daily and a big supply will
be ready when the campaign opens on
September 2Sth. The bonds are sim
liar in form and design to those of the
third loan.
The first official report of the third
Liberty Loan bond drive shows that
the total subscriptions in Idaho were
$40, 972,600 and the quota assigned to
the state was $1,000 1866 The per-
centage of subscription was therefore
1873. The total number of sub
scribers was 77,196. or 23.71 percent
of the population based on the census
of 1910 which was 1926, 1874.
Idaho stood sixth in the list of the
states of the twelfth district in over
subscription of their respective quotas
and every county in the state went ov-
err the top.

In Honor of Miss Longhnex

Miss Agnes Callahan entertained the
members of the choir of ST. AIMS
Catholic church last evening in honor
of Miss Georgia Loughney, who has
been the choir leader for some time
and who left today for her new home
at Tacoma. The guests passed sew
eral very pleasant social hours and
partook OF delicious lunch at about
the midnight hour. In token of their
regard the choir members presented
Miss Loughney with handsome dish
of cut glass She received a similar
gift from the members of the Altar
society.

given of their service, money and
blood" just as willingly and as he
roically as those cited for special con-
sideration.
j. A WEIGH, opponent to Mr.. Shive-
ly, gave his son and but for physical
disability, he would be in the service
now. Mr.. Heathershaw, candidate
for sheriff, has one son in the service
and stands ready to give the second.
Mr.. Collins, candidate for county COM
missioner, has given one son and if
necessary will give another. Mr..
James, candidate for county treasurer.
has two brothers in France at the
present time. Mr.. Chambers, another
candidate for commissioner, has seen
service in the u. S. army in the Philli-
pines and so it is all down the line
and it is no wonder the party who
wrote the Times article left off his
or her name
Any person or political party or
newspaper that attempts to capitalize
the war for political purposes are not
true patriots and are thinking more of
selfish interests and party expediency
than the safety of their country
Referring to the mileage saved by the
present sheriff. would like to suggest
to Reader" that it is the duty of the
sheriff to enforce the law regardless
of mileage and he is not expected to
go hoofing it over the county while
the law-breakers and bootleggers are
travelling in high-power machines
The taxpayers are willing to pay a few
extra dollars for that purpose and
call 1t good investment
The fact that Mr.. Dunning is a
splendid man and good citizen is not
questioned. 1t is simply matter OF
his qualifications as an officer and the
same can be said of the other parties
mentioned.
The statement that Mr. Dunning has
contributed more to his country than
all other candidates combined is con-
sidered broad one and should be &C
companied by bill of particulars.

system was presented to the council
members Tuesday night and a COM
mittee composed of Messrs. O'Calla-
CHAN, Crowder and Meeker, was APP
pointed to take charge of the report
and to recommend further action
Mr.. Cave has recently completed a
very exhaustive examination of the
sewer system and stated that while
there were defects in the system the
pipe would have to be dug up in order
to determine whether or not they
could be blamed to poor Workmanship
or material.

OBJECTS TO CAPITALIZATION OF
WAR FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES

The greatest asset the democratic
party has ever had is the ability to di-
vert the mind of the voter from the
real issue and the parties who are
responsible for keeping up this cam
outage are going TO be hard pressed
for something the people cannot see
through as soon as it is flashed upon
the curtain, and they do not seem to
realize that the people will just stand
for so much of anything, no matter
how good it is, and the question is,
DO they know when they have reach
ed the limit?"
The article in the Kootenai Valley
Times last week under the caption /;
stand BY Dunning" would indicate
the extreme to which they are willing
to go in order to fiji the ticket. This
article is vivid picture of some polit-
ical coward sticking his head around
the corner teasing at the elephant,
and If he is not careful will be found
in the same predicament as the boy
who tickled the calf's foot with a
straw, and went crying to his father
with a badly mutilated face and asked
I IL he would ever look right again The
, father said; mo. my son, you will
newer iooh the same Out you Will nave
lot more sense"
Such articles stuck into a newspa-
per under a non de plume are intended
for feeler and il 1t is well taken
more is sure to follow. Il is signifi-
that all three of the parties who
Reader" is so interested IN and who
deserves so much sympathy and spec
ial consideration are all on the demo
cratic ticket, (although Reader" has
never laid any claim to being either a
democrat or a republican. and, OF
course, that is well understood
The question arises If Mr. Reader is
a nonpartisan, fair-minded. patriotic
citizen, as he would have the people
believe. why lavish all his love and
sympathy upon the parties mentioned

governor and it is quite likely that he
is just as popular in this county as
he was two years ago and that he will
carry the county by as large If not
larger majorities.
Mr.. Davis has followed farming and
is now a successful banker. He has
served in the state legislature and
has for many years been active in
all matters pertaining to the welfare
of the citizens of this state. He has
the confidence of the people of his
own county and in his own part of
the state he will receive a large vote.
There is hardly any question but that
he will receive the republican nomin-
alton and that if he is honored at the
general election with the Office he is
seeking he will give Idaho the best
administration it has ever had.
