ENTERTAINING THE SOLDIERS

The expected arrival in Moscow of 100 soldiers
who will be CHARTERED the university where they will
be given special training for work, is awakening
interest in Moscow it should. The people of Mos
anxious make the stay of these soldiers in
their pleasant and profitable that larger con-
tingents will be sent here later. 1t goes without say
ing that the people unanimous in their desire to do
the very best they for the soldiers There is some
difference of opinion methods but these be
settled.
The first thing is to avoid misunderstanding. Any
suggestion that certain rules regulations should be
observed should not be taken a reflection men
who are to be sent here. The army is being guarded
as before and the results apparent We have
the finest, cleanest lot of soldiers gathered to-
gether, despite the fact that it exceeds in size any
army ever dreamed of in the United States.
President Lindley, who has had more experience
than all of the people of Moscow combined, in
ing young and helping them to be better citizens
has made wise suggestions. He is capable of
making these for he has the knowledge gained from
experience. He has visited many environments, knows
what required and what brings the best results He
be trusted to handle the situation in the proper
way. We have faith that he will make mistakes and
suggest that instead of finding fault with suggestions
made and running to the newspapers with the intima
ton that "our soldiers are being nsuted" if any
strctions are suggested for their supervision that
realize that it is duty support any that
tends to improve conditions in Moscow and make this

THE sTAR-MIRROR misunderstood

very few have misunderstood the editorial in
yesterdays StarMrror to indicate that this paper ad-
vocates "wde-open' town. These people have mis-
interpreted the intent Of the editorial in question The
Star Mirror does not advocate believe in "wide-
open" town and would lead the fight against any
proposition to make it SUCH The saloon question: so
far Moscow Latah county and the State of Idaho,
concerned has been settled definitely and per-
manenty and this paper would advocate returning
to the old standards.
The paper merely called attention to the danger
of being too radical in curtang the few simple amuse-
ments that permissible here and the further
danger of any attempt to do being misunderstood
by the soldiers who coming here, it was mis-
understood by many prominent and responsible bust
of Moscow, to be reflection the soldiers
That nothing of the kind intended certain There
to have been misunderstanding all around No

and disorderly houses closed by order of the
military authorities and boot-eggng severely
punished 1t is reported from Camp Greene that
church attendance Sunday in Charlotte increased
several hundred per cent after the camp estab-
shed there and the soldier boys became regular at
tendants at church for they knew that good dinner,
served in of Charlotte's hospitable homes, was
certain to follow the services. There tens Of
thousands of soldiers there but the people of Charlotte
entertained them and invited them to house parties in
the evenings.
There is ''tip" for Moscow. With but 100 men
here the people of Moscow very easily arrange to
invite them into their homes Sunday, take them into
the country for drive if you have car, and make
them feel that Moscow is their home while they
stationed here and welcome them brothers and
equals. Charlottes splendid example might well
be followed by other towns and real service would
be done to the soldiers by this method of entertaining
them.

Dry Forces WIN Eight

WASHINGTON-The dry forces in
the house won the second skirmish in
favor of national prohibition during
the war when, on preliminary vote the
amendment was approved refusing any
part Of the $11,346,000 appropriation
in food production bill until the pres
ident issues proclamation prohibit
ing the use of food in the manufacture
of intoxicants.

the cost has run far below 81 Pc
acre. The writer has friend il
Oregon who put his grain in the sack
several seasons, for an average of 81
cents per acre. Two men and eight
10 or IL horses will operate the ma
chine and cut Is acres per day. Where
the ground is level and not too soft
eight horses will pull the machine
very nicely. If the ground is billy
or soft two or four more horses are
necessary.
With Irvine selling for 25 cents a
pound and the uncertainty of getting
it, and the cost of threshing and
scarcity of labor, it seems that these
machines would be in great demand
this year Irvine, alone, for an ordi-
nary crop will cost 81 per acre this
year and that sum will cut and
thresh the crop with an Idaho Nat
ional. Then there is the threshing.
The price is expected to be Is cents
bushel and with crop yielding 40
bushels, this would mean Sc per acre
in addition to 81 for Irvine, or in
other words, cutting with binder
and threshing the field will cost Sc
per acre (on a 40-bushel crop more
than it will cost to cut and thresh
with the combined machine.
"None of these machines ought to
be sent out Of the Inland Empire"
said Mr.. Mix. "With the certainty
of shortage of help, scarcity of
Irvine and difficulty of getting grain
harvested this year, any farmer with
200 acres of wheat can buy one of
these machines, do his own harvest
ing and cut some for his neighbors
(any of these machines will easily
handle 800 acres in season. and
pay for the machine in the saving Of
expense in a single year"
The company is handicapped by
difficulty in securing men and ma
terial. There is such nemand for
skilled labor that when man gets
sufficient training here he is wanted
by the government. There is a great
shortage of material for diapers. The
is taking the entire out
put of cotton duck (the material from
with the diapers are made} from the
factories and one must have gov
permit to get any of it. The
cost has advanced 800 per cent. Only
the fact that these diapers are neces-
sary to save the crop of grain, per
mits the company to secure cancas
for their manufacture. Mr.. Mix is
advising every farmer who possibly
can do so to patch hp his old diapers
and use them another season, for he
says it is going to be very difficult
to get new diapers and one must
furnish proof that they are really
needed to save the crop in order to
get them at all.

MOSCOW'S UNIQUE EFFORT

Moscow is attempting something never before at
tempted here and she is going to succeed and win
reputation in unique way. The people of Moscow
have received general invitation to walk up to the
Moscow State Bank and give the amount they think
they ought to give to the Red Cross Hundreds have
done Many others will The quota of $500 will
be raised in this unique way.
There has been and there will be no soliciting. No
is to be asked to give Every dollar that is given
is to be free will offering of Moscows public spirited
people to the great of mercy.
There are few and proud to say, very few,
who will ignore this general invitation, but they
hopeless minority. The great majority of Moscows
citizens public spirited, liberal and fair and they
doing their duty because it is duty and not be-
they being solicited, urged brow-beaten
into giving. That is the proper spirit This is not
charity 1t plain duty of every citizen to do his
part.

lust what a Red Cross canteen is,
how it is QUILTED, and the hundred
problems the American women have
to meet in feeding the French, Eng
Iish and American soldiers is well
shown in this letter from an American
Red Cross worker:
We have really a wonderful place.

We have red and white oilcloth on the
tables, red glass carafes and red tur-
key window curtains, and always flow
ers on the counters. 1t is the gayest,
brightest little room you ever saw.
However, it only holds about 12O men
seated at the tables and it Is to be
used as a recreation room and even
movies. Our big room is to have
huge kitchen and seats for 1000 men
or over, and will open right on to the
platform. 1t Is to be decorated by an
artist from the Beaux Art, as Miss
Beckett has gone and Miss Kirkpat-
rick is too busy.

sugar is cheap down here. 1t Is the

machines) will be built this year.
The Idaho National Harvester
ought to be too we'll known to need
description here, but there are many
who do not know what an excellent
machine it is nor what an extensive
plant the company has for the manu-
facture of these machines. 1t will
undoubtedly surprise Moscow people
to learn that rs men are employed in
the factory and that the pay roll for
April reached 1921.
Every part of the machine is made
here. The raw material is shipped in
and converted into finished machines
at the big plant in the north part Of
town. Pig iron from Pennsylvania,
fir wood from the coast, and other
raw materials from Other points are
brought here and converted into har-
vesting machinery. The chains, alone
are bought "ready made" for they can
be bought this way cheaper than the
factory can make them. The ma
chimes manufactured by the Idaho
National Harvester company, of Mos
COW, are shipped to all points where
wheat is raised extensively. There
are many of them in Texas and Mr..
Mix's desk in the office is covered
with photographs of the machines at
work in Texas fields, where scores Of
them are in use. In Texas they are
usually drawn by eight mules, but
Mr.. Mix has a picture where one is
being drawn by small tractor.
Its Advantages
The Idaho National Harvester has
many advantages no other machine
can offer, for these improvements are
covered with patents issued to this
company. 1t has the best drive wheel
made in the United States, that is
admitted. 1t has the longest cylinder
and consequently never chokes in
threshing. The cylinder is almost
the length of the sickle, which means
that the grain is cut and threshed in
the same space in which it grows.
1t is light, easily handled and grain
can be cit cheaper with it than with
any other machine known. The slo-
gan of the Idaho National Harvester
Company is: ISL per acre from field
to sack and you get the ST." This
means that the grain can be cut and
threshed and put in the sack at a
total cost Of 81 per acre, whether it
be crop yielding 10 or 30 bushels.
The cost Of cutting heavy crop is
no more than that Of light one.
Many instances are known where

WANT TO BE A NURSE?
TRAINED NURSES ARE BETTER PAID THAN MOST
OTHER WOMEN WORKERS

while on duty. Institutional nurses re-
ceive from $50 to $3.50 a month, besides
board, lodging and lsundry. Public
health and social service nurses receive
from $3.50 TO $3.50 a month without
maintena nee.
Nurse recruits who begin their
training at once have the possibility
of seeing active service abroad as
members of the Red Cross or the Army
Nurse Corps. Even should the war end
at any early date the opportunity for
trained nursing service abroad will not
be ended. The reconstruction period
in the warning nations is going to re-
quire more time and nursing service
than the war itself. and the field for
public health and reconstructive nurs-
ing is unlimited.
In the meantime, the student nurses
will be rendering an immense patriotic
service even while they are in training.
BY their enlistment in the Nurse Re
serve Corps each student has released
a fully trained nurse for service abroad
and is learning to fill her place at
home. The problems of civilianJ health
cannot be neglected because of the
wars demands abroad and it is here
that the student nurses do valiant ser
vice.
