FINE HARVESTING WEATHER
BRINGS JOY TO THE FARMER
IN THAT SECTION.
Plan on Foot to Change Location Of
Present Post Office Quarters
Make improvements at
Troy.

TROY, Aug. 25.-The harvest is on
in fairly good swing in this locality
now and the prospects for a splendid
crop have passed the stage of specu-
lation. Farmers in this locality are in
good spirits over the excellent har-
vest weather and it is not improbable
that the heaviest tonnage of grain ev-
er hauled to the Troy warehouses will
result the present season. The first
wheat to be delivered in Troy was by
A. T. Sandquist Of Little Bear ridge
who brought in little club variety.
Would Move POstOffice.
Petitions are now being circulated
here urging the department to order
the removal of the post office from it's
present location to the Duthie build
ing which will soon be vacated by the
Johnson drug store. The new quar-
ters would be ideal and would be much
more satisfactory than the present To-
cation. Postmaster M. w. Harland
has number of improvements in con-
temptation should the office be moved.
Must Repair Walks.
The city council as ordered all side
walks in block II here repaired and
placed in good condition. The bad
condition Of the walks has resulted in
several narrow escapes from accident
md the city has taken steps to prevent
such accidents by ordering in new
walks.

BETTER BABIES.

Some one said the other day that
the child was at last coming to its
own. That after centuries of brutal
neglect, or stern repression of ma
tural instincts, mankind was at last
adopting a sane view of childhood, and
of the Importance of it's physical well
being. Just the other day a famous
American physician declared that
measles, whooping cough and other
so-called childhood diseases are to-
tally unnecessary and may be eradicat-
ed by proper quarantine. This dis
pels another illusion. 1t is certainly
these diseases were considered a ne
cessary preparation for adult life,
and when the individual who had not
been afflicted with each of them was
considered lily equipped for the stern
battle of existence.
Perhaps a still more marked proof
is the new campaign for better ba-
bies," which is being so successfully
waged all over the country. That the
interest in it is widespread is shown
by the wide adoption of the better
baby shows in the east anu in
some sections of the west. Moscow
is especially fortunate in that the
Latah County Fair association is do
ing its best to encourage this eugenic
hi ncf
liberal premiums for the really
best babies.
The Star-Mirror means to emphasize |
that word best" 1t means best |
developed, not best looking or best |
dressed, and not even best behaved, |
but best in symmetrical physical de-
velopment Every baby stands an
equal chance, the premium going alb
solutely to the baby which comes
nearest to the required standard.
That the Judgment may be an alb
solutely unbiased one, the judging
will be done by experts, by physic-
ans qualified by training and by ex-
perience for the work.
The premiums offered by the Fair
eating in all 500. They are in
worthy of consideration
But this is not all the good the bet
er baby contest may do. 1t will |
benefit those who do not win prem
ums, in that it will show them where
n their babies are deficient, and give c
nothers a chance to rectify mistakes |
yhich they have unwittingly made. h
BY all means enter your babies in P

Industrial Hygiene.
| 1.-THE relation of school hygiene to
industrial hygiene" said DR.. Ira S.
Vile, member of the New York
board of education, should be very
close. Teaching of school hygiene
should be based upon practical use
that is to be made of it. A large por-
ton of life is spent in occupation,
therefore the Importance of industrial
hygiene cannot be gainsaid. If the
public schools are to prepare the
children for citizenship, they should
aim to prepare citizens of the present
to work toward the same ends. The
cost of teaching industrial hygiene is
needed for expenses afterwards"
Today's morning sessions were
given over to a formal reception of the
delegates by the state, city and county
officials. The first of the regular SEES
sions was held this afternoon when
more than fifty speakers discussed
