MOSCOW HIGH VS.. COLFAX HIGH
Visitors VIII Play in Moscow Next Sat-
urday Night.

Local basketball fans will have a
chance to see some real basketball
when the local high schoolers lock
horns with the speedy Colfax bunch
next Saturday night on the local floor.
Colfax has a wonderful team this
year and will come to Moscow deter
mined to win. They have three letter
men on the team among whom are
Lomasson, who played such stellar bali
against our boys when we beat them
12 to II at the w. S. C. tournament
last year.
On the local team, which will face
them next Saturday, will be Stillinger,
Hill and Hunter. All three letter men
and who are easily the best men play
ing their positions in the north Idaho
interscholastic ball this winter.
Coupled with these three are Jaseson.
who played excellent ball at Palouse
last Friday, and Cornelison, who Is
playing magnificent game at
guard. Although the team will II t
be nearly as strong as If Bugs
Schultz were able to play, it will be the
best team which ever represented
Moscow high.
The boys are all confident althoua
not over confident after their victory
over Palouse last Friday. The team
is in splendid condition with the ex-
ception of Schultz who is suffering
from a broken tendon of the knee
and will probably be out of basketDa J
the rest of the winter. Anwhow, flYe
them a boost by coming out Saturday
night.

PRESIDENT STOOD
OFF SUFFRAGETTES
WOMEN MARCH ON THE WHITE
HOUSE IN AN ICY COLD
WIND.
Expected to Make Wilson Talk But Got
Little Comfort in Their Demands
For Special Recognition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. - Facing n
big suffragist delegation today Presi-
dent Wilson refused to send Il special
message to congress urging that wom-
Ell be enfranchised. He declined also
to incorporate such a recommendation
in one of his regular messages. Until
congress requests it he added he
wouldn't recommend the creation of II
special house committee to investigate
the suffrage question.
The suffragette conference was pic
turesque. The committee marched to
the White House in the face of an
icy cold wind determined to force the
president to speak. The president
stood in front of his desk and received
the committee. He appeared drawn
and haggard as a result of his recent
illness but shook hands cordially with
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs.
Medill Mccormick and smiled on the
other women of the delegation. The
president was so diplomatic in his re-
fusal that the suffragettes left the
White House satisfied he would aid
their cause if an opportunity present
ed itself.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. s.
Civic organizations in Texas are rails
ing funds for the purchase of supplies
and food for the flood sufferers. Re-
lief trains have been rushed to Hearne.

100 lives have been lost in the floods.
The death list is increasing hourly

ANIMAL PROTECTORS MEET
Anti-Yivisectionists Gather for Session
mt Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The horrors
of vivisection and the cruelty of the
ruthless slaughter of birds and game
animals, were wildly portrayed here
today by speakers at the opening ses-
sions of the annual convention of the
International Anti-Vivisection and Ami
NAL Protection society. Speakers de-
clared that vivisection as now prec-
ticed even in the most advanced labor
atories of rich philanthropic institu-
tions is "a blot on the goth century
civilization" Special mention was
made of the prosecutions brought by
members of the anti-vivisection society
in Philadelphia. Secretary of State
Bryan, Senators Gallinger and Myers,
and prominent leaders of the society
for the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails, and the Audubon society were
scheduled to speak during the three
days convention. 1t was announced to-
day that resolutions will be put
through demanding federal legislation
prohibiting vivisection and making
game laws more strict.

COST REDUCED
In HARVESTING
SOUTH IDAHO MAN MAKES STATE
MENT OF HIS EXPERIENCES
WITH LITTLE IDAHO.
Moscow Product is Rapidly Growing In
to Favor and Many Farmers Will
Use the Machine Next Year.

That the Little Idaho harvester is
growing rapidly into popularity in the
southern part of the state is indicated
by statement just made by Bruce
Wilson, owner of dry farm north OF
Idaho Falls, and also owner of an
irrigated farm in the same locality.
Mr.. Wilson says that hereafter he will
harvest with an Idaho National Har-
vester and says:
Il am one of a number of farmers in
my neighborhood who are struggling
to develop half section of dry land in
the country north Of Idaho Falls.
There are seven of us in my neighbOr-
hood, each owning 800 acres of dry
land, and my experience the past sea-
son is about what has happened to all
Of us. After paying the cost of har-
nothing left for our labor in produc-
ing the crops, let alone any interest
on the value of our investment. This
year my wheat made about 80 bushels
per acre, but when it was ready to
thresh l had to pay five cents per bu-
shell to get the machine, and in addi-
enough teams to do the work. Figur-
ing the cost of feeding the men and
teams it cost me just to thresh, not less
than 25 cents per bushel, and when l
add to this the cost of binding, bind
ing twine and shocking, with the
board of the men, l havn't enough left
to pay my twine bill.
Now l want to compare my ex-
perience this year with that of Sim
Raty, another dry farmer some six or
seven miles from me. Knowing that
Mr.. Raty was harvesting his crop with
IN Idaho National, the little push ma
chine operated by only two men and
eight horses, l, in company with my
wife, drive over to his place this. fall
md for two hours watched this new
'ig work While l was there he, cut
md threshed, at practically no ex-
,ense, seven acres of barley and the
work. was satisfactory. The tn resh-
ng was first class and there WIS no
oss OF any consequence.
After seeing the idaho in opera
ion, and then comparing this new
ystem with its saving of labor, twine
nd repeated handling Of crops as un-
er old, but prevailing methods, ! am
ding to have an Idaho next year
l have any crop to harvest, and
mink l am expressing the sentiments |
{ about six of my neighboringi farm |
rs When it costs me more than 50 |
n acre to bind, shock and tffNbsh and
le crop will not pay the cost. and l
se my neighbor, Mr.. Raty, by using |
n idaho and with not as good a I
rop as / had, making money because !
e is harvesting at about $1.00 an
ere, it's enough to satisfy me as, to
le merits of this new method"
