industry o fthis county at this and at
all times, is to grow tomatoes. They
are badly needed as food for home
consumption and the government is
asking for large quantities for the
army and navy. All Gamers last
season were forced to give 18 per
cent of their total pack of tomatoes
to the government. The demand was
acceeded to by the Gamer OF the

price named was almost 20 per cent
lower than the market price.

iTALIAN-AMERicAN SHOWS
DEEP VEIN OF PATRIOTISM
Frank Garbo's Speech on Occasion
of Presentation Of Italian Flag
to Parish Last Week

In its last issue The Clarion pub
lished an account of the Italian cele-
bration in Opelousas which occur
red on Friday evening of last week,
The Clarion, as is usual with many
local affairs and happenings, was the
only newspaper which contained IN &C
count bf this grand and patriotic
demonstration of our Italian citizen
ship.
Mr.. Frank Carlo, popular barber,
as the article stated, made the pre-
sentation speech, and his words here
follow in full:
ITO me has been given the dis
tinguished honor of presenting to the
parish of St. Landry the national en-
sign Of Italy. This emblem of the
country Of my fathers and fore
fathers is near and dear to me, and
to those of Italian nationality gath
cred here today, and as the object of
our reverence is second only to the
Stars and Stripes of America. We
love the old country, but we love the
glorious nation of our adoption, more
because it is this country which has
afforded to- us, and to many others
of the old world the only true haven
of democracy, the real asylum of lib
erty and freedom. While Italian
blood flows through our veins, and
many of us are American by adoption
only, we none the less class u
selves as patriotic, loyal citizens who
are ready to demonstrate our aleg-
lance t othe United States in any
n and at nj time this great
country may call upon US. THE
same sun which kisses the slopes of
far-away Italy bathes with its be-
nificent light the fertile fields of this
great country; the same breezes
which whisper through the olive
groves over there, comprise the gem
tie zephyrs which blow upon us
here, and the same God who guides
the destinies of Italy is the same God
under whose watchfu1 protection
this country ~prosperous.)
"This emblem which / present to
you today is flying along with the
Stars and Stripes on the battlefields
of war-torn Europe. The followers of
both emblems have but n common
purpose, and that is to rid the world
Of the bloodthirsty Hun. and make
the whole universe safe for democ-
racy and liberty. Whatever "
es might have been suffered by the
Italian armies have now been re-
trieved, and today the brave soldiers
OF Italy are holding their ground,
waiting to join the legions with the
khaki-clad soldiers Of the United
States in one grand, victorious drive
on Berlin, and the day will come when
this flag which / now present to you,
together with our own dear Red,
White and Blue, will wave in triumph
over the palace of that imperial u
derer-Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany"

Cholera Morbus.


This is a very painful and danger
Gus disease. In almost every neigh
borhood some n has died from it
before medicine could be obtained or
a physician summoned. The right
way is to have a bottle of Chamber

in the house SO as to be prepared for
it. Mrs. Charles Enyearst, Hunting

DECLINE
IN PRICE OF SHEEP
MONTANA SHEEPMAN THINKS
FARMERS WILL BE FUTURE
SHEEP PRODUCERS

! DILLON, Mont, Dec. 26.-State
Senator E. o. Selway, prominent
Montana flockmaster and a member
of the National Woolgrowers associ-
alton, expects sharp and early de-
cline in the price of sheep and says
wool is very likely to follow.
''The little fellow, the man who
runs a few Sheep" says Selway, twill
be the heaviest loser. If he bought
,ewes last year he stands to lose from
ST to So head.
Selway thinks wool now seventy five
cents a pound, will go thirty cents
below before the decline turns. Re-
sumption of trade with Australia,
New Zealand and South America will
have damaging effect on the Ameri-
can grower, Selway believes.
Sheep and wool raising still rank
among the principal industries of
Montana despite the gradual disap-
pearance of the range. The next de-
cade, however, in the opinion of many,
will see the range gone and sheep
found only on ranches, large and
small The great estates, extensive
as they are, are comparatively few,
however, and eventually the small
farmer, with few sheep, will STAN
dardize the business, according to
many wool growers.

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATES
MONTANA LABOR CHARGES

GREAT FALLS, Mont.-Captain F.
E. Townsend, who represents the
United States government in the mu-
nitions plant at Nitro, West Virginia,
is to make a thorough investigation
in Montana this week of allegations
that Montana labor shipped to Nitro
was i'll treated, deceived and i'll fed.
Governor Sam V. Stewart recently
took up the matter with the authori-
ties at Washington and Captain
Townsend's visit is the result.
Several hundred Montanans, gath
cred from all parts of the state, went
to Nitro, six weeks ago, supposedly
to work for the government, but while
en- route, the plant was turned back
to private owners. Many of the men
returning, said wages were far under
what they had been promised and that
conditions otherwise were subject to
severe criticism About twelve of the
men died en- route home of influenza.
Some of the Montanans remained at
Nitro, it is reported, and not all have
found fault with the reception they re-
ceived there.

LATAH COUNTY
EXCEEDED QUOTA
BELIEVED THAT MORE THAN
1000 RED CROSS MEMBERS
SECURED IN DRIVE

1t is believed that Latah county has
gone well above the 1000 mark in
Red Cross memberships during the
recent Christmas roll call, and the
figures may reach 4,500. The COM
mittees in charge had set 1000 as the
mark they would try to reach in the
county and, although not nearly all of
the reports are in it is believed that
this mark has been passed by good
margin.
Moscow lacked 13 of reaching the
high mark set by the committee which
asked for 1000 members here and got
1887, but it is believed that num-
Der more who are quarantined with
influenza or are out of town, will
join later and the 1000 mark will be
reached.
Kendrick is the largest point out
side of Moscow to report to H. II.
Simpson, county chairman. Genesee,
Potlatch, BOWL and number of other
places have not reported. Without
these Mr.. Simpsons reports show
just 1900 members. Potlatch's list
was published in yesterdays Star
Mirror, it being 265, but the Potlatch
official report has not been received.
Adding Potlatch's 265 to the 5000
previously reported makes total of
1865, and it is believed that Genesee,
Bovill, Princeton and a few other
points will carry the total above 1000,
leaving more than half dozen other
points to be reported.
When one considers the fact that
influenza, bad roads and many other
causes combined to interfere with the
work the record is one to be proud
Of Lewiston, which claims a very
much larger population than Moscow,
got 2,OO3 members, or just 16 more
than Moscow, while Colfax got 100
members and Whitman county, Wash,
with almost double the population of
Latah county, got total of almost
5000 members, which makes the rec
ord of Moscow and Latah county, as
compared with that of other places,
a splendid showing. The final reports
will be published as soon as received.

LABOR PROBLEM
DEMANDS attention
MILLIONS OF MEN TO BE RE-
LEASED FROM WAR WORK
MUST HAVE WORK SOON

BOISE.-The state defense council
is in receipt of a statement from
Washington to the effect that idle
labor is already congesting. The sug-
gestion is made that great good can
be done if the editors of our papers
will give editorial mention of the ne
cessity for EMPLOYERS giving work to
quote to you the following message
we have received:
Figures received by wire each
week by United States Employment
Service show decrease in demand for
labor and corresponding increase in
supply, speed in cancellation of war
contract and rehabilitation of army
increasing daily. Many industries
hesitate to take on all commitments
at this time. Building trades at
standstill and probably will remaih
so until spring unless every state,
community, organization and individ-
ual cooperate to the fullest extent
with said service. There is grave
the first of the year. Purchasing
power of country at present time very
great and all possible means must
be used to stimulate best government
plans for improving employment for
all returning soldiers and sailors, and
workers in war industries Can only
be carried through with realization of
the situation by the entire country.
All contractors for war material who
expect to lay off workers should noti-
fly United States Employment Serv-
ice at once. All industries in need
of help should obtain the same
through the federal service
The above will show the condition
the country is rapidly arriving at.
State council would appreciate efforts
on your behalf for the placing of
returning men, whether soldiers who
have been to France and cantonments
or others who have been engaged in
war work and are coming back home

ASK THAT WAGES
Be NOT REDUCED
MONTANA EMPLOYERS ASSOCI-
ALTON WANTS WAGES HELD
WITH COST OF LIVING

BUTTE, Mont, Dec 26-An urgent
appeal to employers of Montana not
to attempt to reduce wages while the
cost of living remains abnormally
high is contained in letter mailed
today by John H.. Mcintosh, state
manager of the Montana Employers
association, to the membership of the
organization.
"Make no effort to reduce wages or
at this time," Mr.. McIntosh's letter
says. "Wages which were boosted
disproportionately high because of
war conditions must inevitably come
down, and fair minded wage earners
recognize that fact, but to reduce
wages before commodity prices are
lowered, to lessen the pay of the
workers before living costs are cheap
er, is financial and moral wrong
and can mean nothing but economic
confusion
"Give back to the returning soldier
the job that he left when he enlisted
Some instances may arise where cir
cumstances make this impossible, but
steady employment to fight for his
country should be returned to his for
mer place.
cit is the bounden duty of every
employer to take cognizance of the
changes wrought by the great war,
particularly to the changes in thought
and the demand for economic better
ment. The business of the future will
have four partnership employer,
the employe, the executive manage
ment and the public. Close coopera
tion between the units of this part
nership means success and prosperity
for all. Friction and Indifference
spell failure

MOSCOW BOY TELLS
OF WORK IN FRANCE
SON OF WELL KNOWN FAMILY
FAMILY HAS HAD INTEREST
ING EXPERIENCE THERE

Arvid Anderson, who is home oil a
ten days furlough. left Moscow to enter
the service of navy aviation last April.
Arvid has been stationed az La Pallice
on the coast of France, and has been
doing construction work al all observa-
ton balloon station. This was about
200 miles back of the front.
The 200 men stationed there built a
station complete, which is great ac-
complishment when you know Of all the
buildings that it includes.
The American boys have done won
derful work in the construction line,
which was all necessary to beat the Hun.
The French are. astonished at the rapid
itv of the work. In one camp 120 cars
for the railroad were set up in one day,
painted and all put on the track ready
to be loaded out.
On the way over the crew of the ship,
Arvid was on, got the credit of downing
one submarine
The influenza has been going the
rounds of our boys in the army about
the same as here. On the way home
they had a rough sea, with every one
seasick. They landed in Hoboken, N. j.,
December II.
Arvid says he has had great ex-
perience but he has had enough.

SPOKANE HAS MORE MEN
THAN JOBS FOR THEM

SPOKANE, Dec 27.=Instead of
more jobs than there are men, as was
the Spokane laboring situation a few
weeks ago, there are more men than
jobs at present, according to infor-
nation from labor agencies. The first
signs of the influx of soldiers wanting
work has been felt, and these men are
given preference by both the employ
ers and the employment agencies.
E. A. Hunter of the federal employ
ment bureau. "The demand and SUP
ply are about equal now, with the
supply possibly little greater than
the demand. 1 hope and think this
will soon turn the other way and the
number of jobs open will exceed the
number of men looking for work"

IDAHO AUTOMOBILES
SET A NEW RECORD
INCREASE IN STATE IN FIVE
YEARS is 1900 PER CENT
HUGE LICENSE FEES

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 26-The end of
the year 1918 shows that automo-
biles in Idaho number 1913 more for
1918 than for 1917, the total number
being 32,281. Gross revenues from
the automobile licenses amounted to
$576, 1850, of which 25 per cent was
apportioned to the state and the re-
naming Is per cent was retained by
the counties in which collections were
made
In 1917 the revenue amounted to
Sab 3,oO8.68 from 24,768 cars so that
the increased revenue this year added
$163, ,776.88 to the fund for state and
county roads.
Five years ago there were but 2083
automobiles registered in this state
