OFFICERS WERE BUSY

The local municipal and county au-
thorities were called upon last eve
ming to make Investigations over an
alleged attempt of representative of
the Volunteers Of America from Spo-
kane to obtain money by false pre-
lenses. The man had worked the city
yesterday in soliciting funds for re-
lief work at Spokane and is reported
to have shown in his note book the
names of Moscow persons whom he
claimed had contributed but whom it
was learned subsequently had never
done so. The officers are determined
to stamp out promiscuous solicitation
of funds in Moscow and this determ-
ination will be backed up by a new
act passed in the late legislative ses-
sion which prohibits solicitations for
charitable purposes by and for organ
izations out of the state. The man
was not detained and left the city to-
lay.

ADJUST WORK TO
NEW CONDITIONS
COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION SIS
SON DECLARES STATE BOARD
WILL WORK OUT PROBLEMS
Laments Curtailments in Budgets but
Anticipates no Fatal Effects VIII
Result From Carvings

Regardless of the curtailed budgets
of the various educational institutions
in Idaho, made by the legislature and
the governor, We hope to adjust our
selves to the conditions and will do
the very best we can to maintain the
high standard of excellence in the in
stitutions that has been enjoyed in
the past, and believe no serious harm
will result because of the curtail-
ment," was the statement made today
by Commissioner of Education e. O..
Sisson, after the close today of the
session of the university executive
committee of the state board of educa-
tion
While the cuts made were to some
degree seriouss they are not necessar-
lily fatal and it will be the policy of
the board to hew to the line in it's
expenditures with hope of securing
the highest degree of efficiency" he
continued. Probably the most serious
loss to the university will be in the
extension work, $4,000 for investigation
which covered some valuable work in
coping with the alfalfa weevil and
$4,000 for orchard irrigation investiga-
tion. In this item fruit investigation
will be seriously hampered.
"The elimination of the sums for
the summer normal schools was most
unfortunate inasmuch as the law re-
quires that teachers must attend
summer normal for six weeks. We
hope to carry out the spirit of the
law to the best of our ability despite
the lack of funds. The $4,000 taken
from the forestry department of the
will eliminate further ex-
periments in wood by-products and an
equal sum available from the federal
government will be lost to u.s.

state board will meet in regular ses-
sion at Boise early in April at which
time the university executive commit

DUTY OF HOME MAKERS

To be sure it is hard to smile when the

to the house on big, dirty boots, or the
dollar to pay for a few yards of print
goods is not forthcoming: but it is a
rart of the business of marriage to smile
and to keep smiling. and the wife who
knows this and practices it will be a
happier, more conSenial and. indeed
far more desirable partner in the mat
rimonial firm, and better comrade, than
II she forgets this important feature of
wfely duty and devotion. Then. too. it
is far more to her credit to smile when
things go wrong than when they go right
The male partner will naturally under
stand this and respect it. and if he is any
sort of a man he will be cheerful in his
turn. For nothing hegets good cheer like
good cheer Itself. And if the husband IS
able to smile upon the customers in his
store or with the men about the farm,
surely he is able to smile upon his wife
to whom he owes not only smiles but the
best of consideration and more than all
love.
There is no prettier picture in all the
world than that of married comrades I'M

In the basin Of the Boise river, above
the Arrowrock dam in Idaho. there is
approximately 100000 900 feet of mer-
charitable timber, estimated TO be worth
about s26 oco0o when made into lumber.
The river furnishes the only practicable
means of getting the timber out. This
involves taking the logs around or over
the Arrowrock dam, and delivering them
in good condition in the river below. In
this requirement a knotty problem was
presented as 1T is necessary to handle
the logs not only economically but with
out the possibility of damage to the dam

attempted in Burlington was made at

who gave his name as Frank Raymond.

The capture of Raymond may be the
solution Of two other similar affairs,
an attempt to enter Miles & Perrys
store sometime during Friday night or
Saturday morning and the burglarizing

some correspondence. When he entered

office which is located on the balcony

At first he was not alarmed and pro-

When he arrived close to the foot of the
