Pimples on the face and other

They mean that your blood needs

of our State. The country has a
population of 100000, whereas
the entire continent of Africa is
supposed to have a population Of
100000.
The language spoken by the
natives is known as Baluba, one
of the Congolese dialects which
in turn is one of the Bantu
groups. The Mission has a
school there in which 1000 natives
are taught French. Belgium has
two languages: Flemish, the
French language portion, and
Walloon, a low Dutch dialect.)
And so the language of the
mother country" is taught the
natives, in part. The Mission
also has a bible school of 200
pupils, and an Industrial school,
with a saw-mill, blacksmithing
and other forms of industry COM
bined. And then, last, but by no
means least, the hospital and
medical branch of the work. DR..
Coppedge for a number of years
was the only physician in scores
of miles, and his hospital, with
one nurse and several native or
derlies, has done wonders with
the sick. The daily clinic is
visited by average of rs natives.
Malaria and sleeping sickness"
are the two most prevalent forms
of illness.
The Mission also has a printing
outfit, with a white foreman and
many native compositors.
The people wear a girdle of
skins or cloth made out of Palm
fiber. And right here is a fact
that ought to interest the cotton
growers: If the United States
would send hundreds of mission
aries to Africa and introduce
cotton, and each African would
secure enough to clothe himself,
the demand would make the raw
cotton shoot up to fifty and up
ward a pounds! But of course
you noted the proverbial If"
The natives grow corn, manioc
Jour tapioca,) sweet potatoes,
peanuts and millet. They also
raise sheep, goats and dogs for
their meat supply. The fly or
mosquito whose deadly bite
causes the sleeping sickness" is
a hinderance to the raising of
cattle.
Dog meat is a delicacy, and
forced-feeding is often resorted
to in order to fatten the CANNES
for the table. Monkeys are not
half bad. The Doctor told us of
an incident that happened near
the village: one day it was re-
ported that a boa constructor had
swallowed a monkey; and one Of
the missionaries at once went to
the spot to take a picture of the
snake, which for the time being
was harmless from the huge lump
within. But the natives had
beaten her to it; they had killed
the boa and not only divided the
snake meat but had parceled the
monkey meat within as a deli
cate morsel.
DR.. Coppedge appears to be a
fluent Buluba talker; here is a
sample:
"Tatu wetu udi kulu,
Utumbixe dina diebe."
which, being interpreted, means
"Our Father who are in Heaven;
Hallowed by Thy name" The
Doctor is a truthful man, so we
are sure his interpretion is cor.
rect; but then he could be giving
an editor thunder with the same
thing and we would know on
better.
DR.. Coppedge has been home
several times since first going tC
Luebo. In 1911 he spent II
months in America, and during
that time was married to Miss

the time when young men and young women, who have
striven hard for years to secure the degrees that en-
title them to take leading parts in the affairs of the
business, literary or professional world, reach the goals
for which they have worked hard and faithfully, and
leave the great school to take up the real battle of
life.
1t is a time when the people of Moscow should show
their appreciation of the Importance of the school and
what it means to the town and community. Lewiston
telephones that four carloads of citizens of that town
are coming up to attend the presidents reception.
There will be visitors from all parts of the state. The
eyes of the northwest will be conferred on Moscow and
the towns people should display more interest in the
event than they have been in the habit of displaying.
1t is to be hoped that the festivities Of the occasion
will be we'll attended by people of Moscow and vicinity.
The program for the week is an excellent one. The
address given yesterday by Mr.. Coleman was among
the best ever heard here. That to be given by William
Allen White next Wednesday will be well worth hear
ing. Every part of the entire program will be a treat
to those who attend. Let all who can get away from
their homes or their business attend all of these func-
lions possible and show your interest in the city's
greatest asset, the state university.

WANTS SIS TAX ON DOGS
Oregon Man Thinks He Has Unique
Way to Help Win
the War.

Cottage Grove, Ore.-C. @. Case of
this city, thinks that he has discov-
cred a unique way to help win the
q He wants a war tax of $25
placed on all dogs in the United States.
The. plan would work out as follows,
says Mr.. Case:
Nine-tenths of the one hundred mil
lion dogs in the country would be
killed, because their owners wouldn't
pay the $25 tax on them taxes on the
remaining 100000 900 dogs would bring
the government $250,0O0,OOO; the hides
of the dead dogs would furnish leather
for 8 100000 pairs of gloves for our
soldiers; enough food formerly given
to the dogs would be saved to feed
thirty million people.

WE HAVE FAR TOO MANY DOGS

When the entire world is short of food and people
are starving in many countries it seems almost crimi-
nal to keep so many dogs that must be fed. 1t costs
almost as much to feed a dog as a hog, yet the dog
produces nothing, while the hog returns much food
for man. 1t is said that many states, notably Kansas,
have more dogs than sheep. This is a sad state Of
affairs at any time, but especially so when food is SO
scarce and people are being placed on allowances.
Last winter Colfax had a mad dog scare and every
dog in town was killed, as well as those from the
country that followed their owners to town. The po-
lice, carried rifles and shot every dog found running
at large. Hundreds of dogs, that were absolutely
worthless were thus killed and the food they would
have consumed was available for chickens or hogs.
1t might be well if Moscow were to have a mad dog
scare and thus secure immunity from the great
horde of worthless ours that roam the streets, pro-
ducing nothing and consuming food that might well
be put to better uses. Dogs are becoming a nuisance
in Moscow as well as in many other towns.

your life and spoiled your career?

And Jewel Carmen with her won
