Every man considers that he is en-.
titled to spend a considerable sun
at the barber shop in order to secure
expert service in shampooing, facial
massage, shaving, hair-cutting, and

entitled to spend money for expert
service in the care of her face and

AN OFFER TO THE OLD FOLKS


The Star-Mirror believes that in La
tab county and the surrounding ter
ritory there are a good many old men
and old women who would like to
earn a little money by practicing some
art in which they are skilled or by
doing some other work for which their
training, health, and leisure fit them.
This applies particularly, perhaps, to
the elderly women who are mistresses
of such crafts as weaving, rug making
and quilting.
The Star-Mirror will be glad to car
ry free for these elderly folk their adj
uertlSements for work If the old peo-
pie eand by old we mean it this case
not. under sixty years of age will
bring in or send in an advertisement,
this paper will publish it in the hope
that its appearance in print will be
the means of bringing work to per-
sons who are often unhappy because |

LAWS FOR SOCK-GROWERS

Up to this time the livestock n
dustyy has been so little followed in
this county that any discussion of the
laws pertaining to brands, fences, in
spection, herding, dipping, and ship
ping had comparatively speaking, no
interest for the Palouse farmer. The
recent large increase in the number Of
Stock-growers in this Yicinity-due,
doubtless, to the steady efforts of

advisable for the general public to be-
come better informed in regard to all

was found that chickens thieves were

freight trains and selling them here.
The two men under arrest were
identified by Southern freight crew

from Johnson City early Saturday
morning on freight train, each with
all the chickens he could carry.
There must be some mistake about
this as no chicken thieves are missing

MAY PUT "CLUBS" UNDER
BAN OR NUISANCES LAW

Nashville, Feb. 15.-When the mem
bers Of the legislature report March
l, one of the big questions that will
be given early consideration will be
the liquor laws that were pending at
the time that adjournment was taken
for the recess.
1t was thought that with the en-
actment of lhe "ouster" bill that
about all had been done that could be
done and that the limit was reached
by those expected to strengthen the
temperance laws at this ession of the
general assembly but the Custer"
BILL while regarded as the most dras-
tic prohibition law extant in the Who'll
of the United States, is not to be the
end OF any means, it is said.
In fact there are other bills that will
still further rip up the situation and
touch where the "Ouster" law can
not be played and these measures are
all but passed.
The bill to put soft drink stands
under the state pure food ana drug
department has passed the senate and
was about to pass the house on the
final day before the recess. but went
over as a special order until 81 the
recess when i was dEc0veTed it
would fail after so many members had
left the capitol. This is one of a
number.
The bill to put clubs under the op-
tration of the nuisance ac has been |
recommended for passaGe by the SEN
ate Temperance" committee and the |
house liquor traffic committee, and |
the latter action is | fact that is not |
generally known. Again there is in

Privilege taxes should be carefully

Road tax. Good roads are for the
profit of the farmer and for the plea T.

not apply to property inside the coly-

so, then that portion of the revenue
derived should be turned back to the
municipalities for the construction
and maintenance of roads and streets
within the corporate limits. This
should also apply to bonds issued for
road purposes by counties. Automo-
biles should pay an annual tax of not
less than $1.00 per horsepower of the

Washington, Feb. 10.-Should tn,

the annual Appropriation bills which

buster in the senae, it will open the
way for the discussion and coinsider-
alton Of many other measures that
have been pigeon-holed in the various
committees for some time. Rural
long debate lasting Tor weeks and
edits is almost certain to cause a
perhaps months. In addition to this
the friends of the one cent letter
postage movement are going to make
an effort to have one of their bills
taken from teh postal committee and
submitted for general vote.
Two Propositions.
There are two letter postage prop
ositions before congress; one provid :
ing for the reduction of the rate of
postage from two to one cent an ounce
for all letters mailed in the United
Stats; the other proposition provides
one cent an ounce for drop letters, or
letters intended for delivery in the
same ;ty or town in which they arc
mailed. The lattre proposition seems
to be the most feasible at this time
and it las been stated ey many mem
