GETS CADILLAC HOME
BUT STICKS TO HIS FORD
Local Telephone Magnate Now Has
Conflicting Emotions When He
Thinks of Speeding

T. A. Meeker went to Colfax this
morning to meet c. H. Nelson of the
Cadallic Motor company of Spokane
who drove the new Meeker roadster as
far as Colfax from Spokane. Mr.
Meeker took delivery at Colfax, and
made the trip to Moscow in about two
hours, slow driving being necessary,
owing to the bad condition of the
roads.
Mr. Meeker purchased the car while
in the east last fall as a gift for Mrs.
Meeker. Delivery should have been
made by the Cadallic company last
March, but owing to shipping condi-
tions the car was only received at
Spokane last week. 1t is one of the
handsomest cars in Moscow; an eight
cylinder club roadster with blue-black
body, and black leather upholstering.
Mr.. Meeker acknowledges that the
new car has class but refuses to be
wooed away from his first love, his
Ford Flivver," explaining that the
Ford is more fitting" for man of
his diminutive build, and that it is

WILL CHECK ALL
FOOD OF NATION
FIRST STEP IN PLAN FOR CONT R0L
OF SUPPLY AND DIS
TRIBUTI0N

WASHINGTON-A nation wide food
survey will be the first step the gov
ernment takes after congress passes
the drastic food control bill. This
work will fall under the combined di-
rection of the department of agricul-
ture and the Council of National de-
tense. Probably Herbert c. Hoover
will personally direct the inyestiga-
ton.
The government will first determine
accurately the amount OF the food re-
serve now on hand, where it is located
and how it can most effectively ne dis
tirbuted. Then it is the intention to
compile All accurate estimate OF the
probable production and consumption
in the current year by sections.
On the result of these surveys de-
pends largely whether the president
will use the drastic powers to be given
him by the proposed legislation.

BAD MIX.UP
OF POWERS
German RefOrmers Would Like to Re-
form but are Afraid to Make
Necessary Changes

AMSTERDAM-The German con-
stitution committee voted to continue
Germany's monarchial system and to
shut off completely democracy accord
ing to Berlin dispatches.
The committee began todays session
with the adoption of a revolutionary
plan to require the chancellor to coun-
tersign all the kaiser's orders and
laws, making the chancellor response
BILE to the reichstag for all such or
ders and laws.
Later the committee utterly violated
the spirit of reform by rejecting the
proposal that the chancellor be made
liable to dismissal on a majority vote
of the reichstag.
The present recommendations cut
the kaiser's power, making the chan
cellor assume the responsibility for all
acts of government to the reichstag,
BIT making the reichstag impotent to
punish the chancellor for the kaisers
acts.
The kaisers power is really un-

In their last drive the French troops
captured the town of Craonne and the
first German line northwest of Reims

Craonne is at the eastern end of the
desperate fighting recently, and its
possession by the Germans placed
salient in the French line paralleling

Juniors at the University
Garry Off Annual Prize
in Music
GOOD WORK OF STUDENTS
Much Ingenuity Displayed in Catchy
Rhymes and Unique Stage
Settings

1t has almost become the custom
that the juniors at the university
should win the $50 prize offered each
year for the songs in the annual song
contest. In the third annual contest
last night the judges awarded the
prize to the present junior class for
two songs whose words were original
and whose musical settings were most
beautiful.
The stage effect was of a Japanese
tea garden where tourists had gather
ed at the tea hour A bit of con-
versation showed that the guests were
all from Idaho ,and of course songs
iof "Old Idaho" were suggested at
once. The first number, "Our Idaho,"
sung to the air of Poor Butterfly"
with words by Harold King, was sung
over the tea cups at the scattered ta-
bles in the garden, while little giesha
maids scurried about with quaint tea
pots. The second song, by far the
more effective of the two, was written
by Mona Faris and Irene Gould; it had
it's air from Pom Pom" The chorus
was particularly beautiful with its
crescendo and diminuendo effects ad
mirably worked out, and with its toast
enthusiastically sung by two score
well trained voices.
