PAVING JUNKET
BY COMMITTEE
MEETING OF PROPERTY OWNERS
IN POLK STREET DISTRICT RE-
SUITS IN NEW PLAN
Resident Owners to Send Committee to
Spokane and COlfax to Investigate
Various Kinds of Paving

At the meeting of the property own
ers of the proposed Polk street paving
district last night at the home of DR..
J. N. Clarke, it was decided to send a
committee composed of Harry Whittier
F. A. David, and M. P. Miller to Spo-
kane and Colfax for the purpose of
investigating the various kinds of pa
wing laid in these cities with a view of
securing information as to the stabil-
ity of the paving and to report their
findings to the property owners on
their return.
The meeting last night developed the
fact that few were in favor of laying
Dolarway and there was some senti-
ment in favor of Bitulithic. Spokane
bitumas, because of it's similarity to
Bitulithic, was looked upon with con-
siderable favor, but it was decided to
defer taking definite action in recon-
any of the pavements for
which bids were submitted to the
council until such time as the special
junbeting committee could make re-
port.
The city council had planned to take
definite steps at meeting tonight, but
it is probable an adjournment will be
taken until Friday pending the conclu-
sions reached by the property owners.

SPOKANE FIRM
GOT CONTRACT
CHARLES JASPER WILL REMODEL
THE WITHWORTH SCHOOL
BUILDING
Plumbing and Heating Contract Goes
to Witter-Fisher CO..WilI be Fine
Structure When Completed

The contract for the general con-
struction work on the WhitwortIl
school building was today awarded to
Charles Jasper Of Spokane, by the
school board, the contract price being
$4,000, while the contract for the
plumbing and heating in the building
was awarded to the Witter-Fisher
company of Moscow, the contract
price approximating $500.
Announcement of the successful
bidders was made today by members
of the school board. AS soon as the
contracts can be drawn and signed,
the work will start promptly and it is
expected to have the building COM
pletely remodelled within "a very few
weeks after school opens. 1t is an
nounced that there will be no incon-
venience suffered in the remodelling of
the building by reason of the work
not being fully completed at the time
of the opening of school.
The plans were drawn by Charles 2
Hubbell, the Spokane architect, un-
der whose direction the building will
be remodelled, but it is announced that
an inspector will be engaged to over
see the work during the course of re-
modelling. The plans provide for
the building of six additional class
rooms, the installation of boys and
girls lavatories on each floor, a di-
rect and indirect ventilation system,
new boilers and necessary additional
heating and plumbing material, two
new entrances at either end of the
building, one for boys and one for
girls, play and lunch rooms in the
basement for primary pupils, the
removal of the present roof and the
construction of modern fiat roof,
new main entrance and a readjustment
of the fire escapes
The changes provide for making
the building practically modern and
more sanitary and hygienic. The ex-
terror perspective of the building,
from the plans show more uniform
ity in style and when finally complet-
ed will be one of the most handsome
structures in the city.

EXPECT CROWDS
HERE SATURDAY
MONTHLY FARMERS SALES DAY
WILL BE HELD IN MOSCOW NEXT
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Great Medium For Exchange Among
Farmers-Articles May be Listed
Now With Those in Charge

The next monthly Farmers Sales
day will be held in Moscow, on the
vacant lot in the rear of the Shields
block on Main street, on Saturday,
July 18th, at 1 o'clock The sale is
for the benefit of the farmers of La
tab county and tributary country and
than the first sale held. Those in
charge of the arrangements are using
every effort to make the sales a perm
anent feature and this will result in
much benefit, not alone to Moscow, but
to the people of the entire county.
These sales when properly handled
and managed, prove to be a wonderful
medium of exchange between the
farmers as there is at this time no
market whatever for many of the ar
ticles a farmer may have on his place
that would be useful to others and per-
of the same nature. The sales day
will also create a market for that
character of live stock that might not
prove profitable to the local butcher.
Anyone having anything to list for
the coming sale may do SO by get
ting in touch with Auctioneer Charles
E. Walks at his office on Main street
or may list with Bert Martin, clerk OF
sales, who will be at the office of the
Chamber of Commerce all day Friday
and Saturday up to noon.

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR STOCK SHOW
Secretary of the Lewiston Show Meet
ing With Much Encouragement and
Declares Annual Event This Year
Will be Better Than Ever

j. H. T. Smith of Pullman, secretary
of the Northwest live stock show, is
in Moscow the present week for the
purpose of encouraging the exhibition
nual show this winter and is meeting
with fine encouragement. Mr.. Smith
reported today that he had secured a
listing of four carloads of stock for
exhibition and sale purposes and had
promises of much more. He is devoting
his time to trips about the county and
finds a marked sentiment in favor of
the Lewiston show.
"The people are beginning to re-
alize that the Northwest live stock
show is not a Lewiston show but is;
of great benefit to the entire northwest
and there is strong tendency among
farmers and stockraisers to eliminate
sectional lines wien considering the
advantages of the show to the live
stock industry said Mr.. Smith. This
is a very healthy sign coming from
Latah county and | am sure will be
appreciated by the directors. More
members are needed and with an in
creased membership there will be
a working force for the good of the
live stock industry that will be hard
to beat. l expect to spend consider

J. G. pink Griffith today announc-
ed that he had accepted the position of
coach in athletics and instructor III
science at the Oklahoma agricultural
and mecanical college at Saltwater,
Okla, to which he had been elected
recently, the terms having been agreed
on in telegraphic correspondence. M.
Griffith and his family will leave Mos
about August 1st for visit with rel
atives in Iowa after which they will
go to their new home.
pink" Griffith has been one of the
landmarks of Pacific Northwest ath-
letic activities for the past fifteen
years and his removal from this section
will be lamented by all friends of ath-
letic sports. To his careful and exact
ing training is due largely the splendid
work of Idaho in football activities in
the northwest and his resignation as
coach at the University of Idaho this
spring was a source of regret to his
many friends.
Mr.. Griffith has been the coach at
Idaho for 10 years in all, five years
during his first reign. Following that
period he acted in a similar capacity
at the University of Iowa for
five years but was subsequently
called back to Idaho as coach,
remaining for five years. The
removal of the family from Moscow
will cause extreme regret among many
people in this city.

Not in Sympathy With Allies

Generally the Chinese are not in
sympathy with any of the Allied ma
tions in the present war, but rather in
dicate a pro-German spirit, still there
is little interest in the war in Europe
among the Orientals. The recent
troubles with Japan caused consid-
cradle excitement among the Chinese
and the central government found
much difficulty in suppressing the war
spirit. The demands made on China
by Japan were extremely unreason-
able, but China's courage in acquaint-
ing the powers with the real text of the
demands, undoubtedly caused Great
Britain to Interfere with the result
that Japan's objectional and absurd
demands were withdrawn and China
permitted to agree on those things
which were not distasteful to her.

Section

That American commercial relations
in China are of the highest order, but
that American manufacturers lack an
appreciation of the necessity of put
ting their mode of doing business on
an equality with those of other ma
tions, was the opinion of S. R. Sheldon,
an instructor in the Nan Yang technic-
al college at Shanghai, China, who was
visiting friends in Moscow for a few
days. Mr.. Sheldon, who was formerly
associated with the engineering de-
partment at the university, has been
with the Shanghai college for five
years and is in America for a couple of
months vacation. He will return to
his post by the Nippon Maru, leaving

The finding of the jury isn't final

Americans Are Popular

Mr.. Sheldon talks most entertain
ingly of the conditions in China, both
relative to the commercial as well as
the social aspect 'The American
people are probably the most highly
regarded of any nationality in China"
said Mr.. Sheldon. "The Chinese will
grasp quickly any opportunity to eX-
tend a favor to America or American
institution and our country could
control the entire commercial
business of the nation if Amer
leans would only readjust their
methods. Germany has an ad-
vantage, or at least has had up to the
war period, in supplying machinery.
Electrical machinery made by the Ger
mans, while not superior to American
made, finds more favor because the
German representatives there are able
to give cost and data promptly and can
fill orders accurately and without de-
lay, while American representatives
appear to lack the authority to quote
figures and must first communicate
with their American factory, which of
course, entails such a delay, that the
business is lost to America.

Pittsburger Returned from Front

A Pittsburger who has just return ed from the front, where he has been with the Allies since the out break of the European war, says he never before saw such gross incom- potency as is now being exhibited by the heads of the English war office
 What is needed there," he said, lis few Yankee strategists and few of our fighting generals to teach them something about the game of war. Their system, in my estimation, Is about ten years behind the age of modern warfare. The Allies have seven men to the Germans one at the front and they are all good fight ing men. But they are never around when wanted. You will find them either playing football, taking a bath or having tea.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, Iifeless locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray. dull and lifeless. is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and SaIphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color. that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive. use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,' which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff. stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears: but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is th;h, besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications. it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- pearance of abundance.-Advertis menr

FORD FACTORY FACTS

900, ,000 bricks, and 172, 900 barrels of Portland cement were used in the constru ction of the plant.
 471,4S5 square feet of glass were required. Gn the world famous Wool worth building in New York City, there are 3,250 windows, calling for S5,000 square feet of glass Enough glass in the Ford factory and ad- ministration building to supply the windows of five and one half Wool worth buildings)
 15.000 is the average number of Ford employees in the factory proper representing 52 distinct nationalitieS, who speak in more than 100 different dialects.
 In the administration buildings the average number of employees is 600.
 In the 35 branches located in 8 of the principal cities of the United States and the "A assembling plants situated in ,24 different cities of the United States. the average number of employees approXimateS 6000. A grand total on the Ford pay roll in excess of 21,000 individuals. If these repre- sent the average family of mem bers, the Ford Motor Company main tains a city of los, 900 population And if we consider the number of persons employed in outside factories. whose work is entirely devoted to the making of equipment used in Ford cars, conservative estimate would be that the Ford Motor Company in it's operations of manufacturing and selling motor cars supports a city of 10000 people.
