available for towing string of life
boats in case it became necessary to

OF INTEREST
TO WOMEN

For the benefit of those num-

to print series of articles deal
ing with the history and work OF
. the clubs in Moscow and in other

organization with which these
: clubs are affiliated.
The first article in the series,
"The State Federation of Idaho"
appears today. 1t was written
by Mrs. James II. Forney of this
city who has been prominently
identified for more than twenty
years with every movement in
Idaho which has had for its OBJ
ject the advancement of the best
interests of the citizens of this
great commonwealth.
The list Of Mrs. F0rney's var
led and noteworthy activities and
achievements begins with her
arrival in Idaho twenty-five
years ago and continues in I'M
broken sequence through all the
years to the present time. She
was member of the School
Board from 1897 to 1902; has .
been twice President of the
PIeiades Club; three times Pres .
ident of the Historical Club of
which she is a charter member;
was member of the Library /
Board five consecutive years,
once as representative Of the
Pieiades Club and four times as |
representative of the Historical I
Club. 1t was as President Of the !
Pleiades Club that she appointed, j
in 1901, the first committee to 1
begin work on the plan to 'es- \
tablish city library. While !
serving her third term as Pres

The distinction between profession
ais and amateurs in college athletics
is based more on snobbery than sense.
If a boy plays ball for money in vaca-
ton to pay his way honestly through
plays for secret money all through the
college course, he is an immaculate
amateur. College students should be
judged for what they are. If they
keep up in their studies they should
be allowed to play in whatever games
they like. If they do not keep up they
should be relentlessly disciplined with
out regard to the needs of the college
teams-Wallace Press Times.
