More Moderate Temperatures.

The weather bureau predicts moderate
temperatures over most of the country
the next few days. following the cold
wave and high winds which since Sat
urday have prevailed east of the Mis-
sissippi. causing heavy crop damage and
probably the most severe suffering of the
winter. The blizzard was over New Eng
land last night and elsewhere in the
east the temperatures We're low with
freezing far south as central Florida
but the winds We're quieter. Except in
the north Atlantic states, it will not he
so cold tomorrow.

We're treated to the spectacle of the

the resolution before the doors were

COAL TO BURN

Those who are still paying $500 a ton for a mis-
cradle quality of coal will be interested naturally in
the results of the investigation made by Frank R.
Gooding as representative of the State Council of Ma
tional Defense as to the prospects for coal for the
coming year. This investigation had to do largely with
conditions in southern Idaho, but all parts of the state
are equally interested. 1t was learned that the OPP
orators were prepared to ship in so cars a week and
would solve the problem nicely. But there is a short
age of men at the mines and a prospect for a still great
er shortage and this is to be taken into account. Short
age of cars is another big factor and one that it is
especially uncertain now. The Investigators strongly
urge storage of coal throughout the summer, but with
prices as they are and with much of the coal offered
of a miserable quality, it will be uphill work to induce
consumers to lay in much of a stock.

PROF. AND MRS. JOHN H. RICH

One of the most important June
weddings in which Moscow might be
interested took place Sunday morn
ing at 9 o'clock at Palouse, Wash,
when Miss Nellie Asbury became the
bride of John H. Rich, superintendent
of the Moscow City schools. The plans
for the wedding had been closely
guarded, even the most intimate
friends o fthe bride and groom not
having been told of the approaching
nuptials. Miss Asbury left Wednes-
day for her home in Palouse and MIR.
Rich remained in the city until Sun
Gay morning.
Simplicity marked the details of the
wedding which was solemnized at the
home of the brides mother, Mrs. Fl.

even in the Congressional Record. Martin Dies of Texas
was speaking the other day on conservation of food
Away down in the middle Of his speech he said:
you want them to stop killing calves because thejs
will grow up to be cows. Well, quit eating eggs, be-
cause they will become hens if you set them under some
other hen. Qaughter) Quit eating squads and let
them grow to be pigeons. Quit eating pigs feet and
wait till the pigs grow to be %4OO,pound porkers.
Qaughter) Do not eat roasting ears, but wait till
they get to be hard corn. Uaughter) Have some
sense. If you let the farmers of America alone with
your foolish laws and your foolish talk, they will come.
to the rescue of America and of Europe and produce the
food for you" (Applause)
Is there anything wrong with that argument? On
its face it appears to be all right.
Congressman Dies insisted that a continued high
scale of prices for produce was all the stimulus the
farmers needed.

Miss Thelma BrannOn and Miss Reta

going on to New York City where Mr..
Rich will take up special work during

in the monopolistic control of the
country's onions.
The indictments, returned at Bos-
ton after an inquiry of national scope,
accuse the defendants of having di-
vided the %countrys markets among
themselves, %cornering three-fourths of
last seasons onion crop, and forcing
consumers to pay 'exhobitant prices.
The farmers sold their onions at an
average of less than 2 cents a pound.
Last winter had to pay as
high as 10 and Is cents a pound. Most
of the difference, the government
chages, was due to Illegal control.
This is getting down to brass tacks.
Incidentally, it may be observed that
the price of onions has dropped. This
suit doubtless has as much to do with
the drop as the new crop has. Let

We are in this war and We can't get
or winning conclusively. 1t is a finish
fight.
When a nation goes into a finish
fight with the tremendously powerful
Central European powers it means to
win or, losing, to pay the war debts
of a victorious Germany.
A nice mess we will be in should
the submarine starve out England,
should Russia conclude a separate
peace and release three million vet
Grams from the eastern fhopt, and
should France, thus exposed, utterly
collapse. The Central Powers would
then release France and England and
our crushed trade only on condition
that the United States raise huge lev
les as wal indemnities to pay Ger
many's debts.
1t doesn't matter how this situation
came about. The thing now to do is
to prevent a terrible misadventure
from ~overtaking us. Americans
want peace. We can have peace now
only in one or two ways, by victory
or by defeat.
We have to pay huge sums as the
price of peace. We will pay these sums
to ourselves in the form of national
loans, or we will pay them to the
Central Powers in the form of levies in
case our. allies are defeated adm our

Liberty Loan Is Better
Than German Indemnity

trade is posted for redemption only

When we start out to war with the
ruthless militarism of Germany, we
had better not start out empty-handed.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States has a formidable enemy
confronting him Dr. her, a ruthless en-
envy whose path we have crossed, a
trained, efficient, experienced, desper-
ate and vastly powerful enemy. 1t is
going to take every dollar we can
spare to defeat this dragon.
The American who desires to lie
down after having invited Germany to
crush him will best do so by avoiding
his obligation to subscribe to the Lib

is MOSCOW READY?

Moscow should have a company in the Third Idaho
Regiment, National Guard. The war department has
assigned to Idaho the duty of raising another regiment
for this department of the government service, and
Adjutant General Moody is now awaiting final instruc-
tons from Washington before going ahead with the
organization of the regiment.
This means business and it will be well for this
community to consider it seriously. Towns in Idaho
much smaller than Moscow have companies in the
National Guard already. 1t would take on the appear
ance of a reflection on this community if the new regi-
ment were to be sent into service without a Moscow
company.
In the face of the crisis now at hand it will be wise
to forget all about the disruption and abandonment of
the company organized here a short time ago. 1t is the
nation that is calling now, and the boys are anxious
to respond. They have no ambition to fritter away their
time in useless dress parades and t%in-soldier war on the
Mexican border, but when there is real WORK to be
done they are as ready as any boys in the nation.
1t is planned to send five divisions, 125,O00 men of
the National Guards, to France as quickly as they can
be transported across. There they are to have training
of the best, and maybe real service in the line in France
and Belgium before snow flies. This will appeal to the
red FLOODED young men of the nation. 1t is the real
thing-just what is needed to arouse them to their best
efforts.
1t will. be strange indeed if Moscow sits idly by
under these circumstances and see her sons drift off
into companies organized in other towns.
