GENESEE SCHOOLS ORGANIZE
FOR FOOD PRODUCTION

Official reports are at hand show
ing that the boys and girls of the
Genesee public schools, under the di-
rection of Supt. Wiswell and assist
ants, have organized in a number of
lines of club work for the year, in
deed have gone over the top. Garden,
canning, poultry, pig, bean, potato
and rabbit clubs have been organized
with an approximate membership of
so. Oscar Nordby is the local super
visor of the pig club and other local
leaders will be appointed in the near
future. The big purpose of these
clubs is to produce and save food
stuffs., Incidentally the members
will learn and demonstrate some new
as well as practical methods in the
varied lines Of production.
Wednesday the county agricultural
agent and the county club supervisor
were in Genesee and assisted in the
final work of local organization.

THREE RAILROADS MAY Be
OPERATED FROM ONE STATION

consolidation of stations will save
many millions of dollars and may pre-
vent an increase in freight and pas
Senger rates. 1t has been estimated
that an increase of 25 per cent in
these rates will have to be made if
the demands of the railroad employees
for increased wages is allowed.
That such consolidation would be a
great convenience to the people of
Moscow goes without saying. 1t
would release some of the men now
employed in the three stations, but
they would find employment elsewhere
for there is shortage of men every
where and in all departments of in
dustry in the United States.
If the consolidation is made it will
probably be several weeks before the
changes can be perfected, but it is be-
lieved taht eventually such a consoIi-
dation will be made here.

MORE RED CROSS MONEY
IS NEEDED IN MOSCOW

There are a number of Moscow
people, and people living near town
VINO have not given anything to the
Red Cross. Tomorrow Saturday is
the last day of the drive. These
people will be given an opportunity
to contribute tomorrow. Mrs. Hut
ton will be at the Red Cross booth
in the Moscow State Bank Saturday,
ready to receive all contributions and
the committee hopes that there will
be no slackers to be reported after
the drive is over. Moscow is far be-
hind every other town in the county
and it ought to raise a considerably
larger amount than has been raised.
1t is earnestly hoped that when the
bank closes Saturday afternoon the
quota will be we'll oversubscribed. If
you have not done your share it is
not too late. Your offering will be
accepted Saturday. See that it is
one of which you will not feel
ashamed.

TWO NON-PART|zAN
ORGANIZERS HERE
MEN WHO WERE REQUESTED
TO NOT WORK IN COUNTY
COME TO MOSCOW

f. w. Waters and Albert Best, two
organizers for the Non Partizan
League, who were requested by the
county council of defense to not come
here for the purpose of organizing
this county, are here today. They
drove from Lewiston this morning
and had a consultation with l.. f.
Parsons, chairman of the Latah coun-
ty council of defense this forenoon.
The two men insisted that they and
their organization are loyal and asked
Mr.. Parsons if the county council
OF defense forbade them to work in
this county.
Mr.. Parsons told them that no such
action had been taken by the council
The men were asked to not try to
organize this county but had not
been positively forbidden to work
here. Mr.. Parsons told the men that
the council will meet at o'clock this
afternoon and invited them to attend
WIN iAiSOclilS WHICH, Cilcy Will pIOUdUly
do. The meeting is in session as The
Star-Mirror goes to press.
The result of the meeting of the
and the county council of
defense will be awaited with interest
by the people of the county. The
leaders of the league have been ac-
cused of being disloyal to the gov
and of opposing conscription
and the purchase of Liberty bonds.
Several of them have been arrested
md some have been convicted.
The council has taken the stand |
hat this is no time to stir up class
hatred and that anything that tends
% distract the attention of the peo-
lie from the great object of winning
he war, is detrimental to the entire
ountry. Whether or not the organ
zers will be permitted to work in
1atah county remains to be seen.

German Attack Expected

German preparations for a resump
ton of the great offensive along the
western front are reported to have
been completed and the Teutonic
| legions are awaiting the command
once more to launch themselves al
the lines from which they recoiled in
the first two major operations of the
drive Allied leaders believe that the
German blow will be struck in few
days and are waiting with supreme
confidence the trial of strength which
may prove decisive.
In the meantime, only the artillery
and aerial forces of the contendine
armies are showing great activity.
The German official report men
tions frequent French infantry attacks
on the western bank of the Avre, but
these probably were local operations
for gaining better defensive positions
or disturbing the enemy in his prep
arations for the great battle.
In the air, however, the fighting
has seemed to grow in intensity. From
every sector along the front, aerial
squadrons have been engaged in COM
bats in which heavy losses have been
inflicted.
American airmen have made their
appearance on the Lys battlefield, ac-
cording to the German official report,
which says that three American ma
chimes were brought down on We'd
nesday. This is the first time that
American aviators have been report
ed on this part of the front, and it
is probable that they are attached to
the large body of men which reached
positions on the British front recently.
The Germans have been on raiding
forays behind the allied lines. On
Wednesday night a determined effort
was made by a German aerial squad
ron to reach Paris, but most of the
machines were driven off, and dropped
their bombs in the suburbs. One or
two machines penetrated the defenses,
but the damage was negligible.
There has been some sharp fighting
on the italian front but the combats
have not been of significant character.
Internal conditions in Austria,
which have been extremely critical
for some time, show little improve
ment according to latest reports.
There have been renewed disorders
at Prague, at which anti-German
songs were sung and cheers given for
President Wilson.
