PATTING OURSELVES ON THE
BACK.
While Boise, Spokane and some
other "big centers" have been beating
the tom tom in the Victory loan drive
and towns in the state much larger
than Standpoint and with much more
pretensions to wealth, have gotten
"over" only with the hardest kind
of work, Standpoint subscribed it's
Victory loan without a public meeting
except the exhibition of the war
trophy train, without subscription
agent out and without batting an eye.
Standpoint has "eaten up" every war
loan, every drive of whatever sort
in the name of the war and stands
ready to Ego over" again any time
the government says it is necessary.
The success of the Victory loan in
the county is due in large measure to
Earl Farmin, the county chairman,
who has been thinking, eating and
breathing Victory loan drive ever
since the campaign opened up. He
had fertile soil to work on in Bon
ner county, but he has been an inten-
sive gardener, and Sandpoint's and
Bonner county's early Victory loan
crop was due to his efforts.-Pend
d'Oreille Review.

A merchant who thinks he can get
along without the use of advertising
is like the girl who thinks she can
catch husband by not bothering
with nice clothes. Advertising has
made many store, just like clothes
have won many husband.-Kootenai |

WHY THIS UNNECESSARY NOISE
There is much complaint from
people living in the residence dis
tricts of Moscow which have paved
streets. because of the unnecessary
noise made hv automobile parties, es-
pecially on Sunday afternoons. Com
plant come especially from the resi-
dence district in the northeastern
part of the town, which is favorite
section for automobile parties be-
cause of the splendid streets.
But there are many babies in that
part of town. They are generally put
to sleep in the afternoon, which, es-
pecially on Sunday, is the time the
automobiles visit that neighborhood. .
1t is very annoying to the mother of
one or two or three or four babies,
just as she gets her loved one, or
more to sleep, to have an automobile
party come past the house with muf-
fler wide open, the engine making !
more noise than hoist in big mine,
with horns shrieking and the occu- !
pants of the cars shouting at the top t
of their voices. 1
People who would never think of
being rude or boisterous elsewhere
seem to think that when they get in i
an automobile all rules of common J
courtesy are laid aside and that the :
only way to have good time and !
attract attention is by making holy r
show of themselves. Why not '.cut i
out" this trough stuff? ?" Z

PEOPLE ACT BABYISH. 9
1t is really amusing to learn of the c
howl that goes up from German t
people over the peace terms. 1t is I
to hear the words brutal
peace force" from the people who re-
joiced when Edith Cavill was murder
ed by German soldiers acting under
orders from German officials; from
the people who dismissed the schools
in order that the children might re-
joice over the sinking of the Lusi-
tania with 112 babies under five years
old; from the people who announced,
when they expected to win the war
That "the only peace will be peace
IF the sword, dictated by my glorious
armies" 1
Of course this peace offered Ger !
rany by the allies is, as they claim {
a death peace" for it means the
leath of Germany's plans to rule the :
world and make the people of other 4
nations the slaves of the kaiser. 1t
IS "a peace of force" because the
German people will be forced to ac- I
.ept it.
But it is mild, Christian-like and
sasy compared to the terms that
