amount of steel must be hurled by the

SPOKANE MAN HELPS MOSCOW
BOY SCOUTS TO WIN THE FLAG


The Boy Scouts secured one sub
scription which will not be credited to
Moscow. W. o. Sholes of the Mark P.
Miller Milling company subscribed
$3.50 through a Spokane institution
and gave the scouts credit for it. In
addition, Mr. Sholes took another bond
through local bank today and placed
it to the credit of the scouts.
The boys now have 81 subscrip-
tions. They need 100 more. 1t is
hoped that Moscow people, who sub
scribe for bonds in the next few days
will ask that the subscription be cred
tied to the Moscow Boy Scouts, as MI.
Sholes did. 1t will cost nothing and
will help worthy cause. The boys
are trying to win the Presidents flag,
offered to the scout troop that gets
the greatest number of subscriptions in
the third Liberty loan campaign.
Moscow has a chance to win the state
flag. Lewiston won it in the second
loan with $4,000 subscriptions. Mos
COW boys now have $4,000 to their
credit.

Names in Casualty List
BOYS TO BE PROSECUTED
FOR DESTROYING PROPERTY

Several arrests of Moscow boys will
probably be made in the next few days
The boys, whose names have been Sc
cured, are charged with destroying
property in the city park and else
where and it is the plan to prosecute
them and thus warn others. There has
been much complaint of destruction of
trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens in
Moscow. Private homes and lawns
and gardens and flower beds have
been invaded and now the public park
is the scene of these depredations. The
theft of tulips and other flowers from
the park has become a popular pas
time and watchers have learned who
has been guilty and have supplied the
names of several boys and few
girls, to the authorities. 1t is anounc
ed that the next time any flowers are
stolen, gardens or flower beds trampl-
ed and any other act of vandalism is
committed arrests will follow.

STATE AUDITOR
VISITS MOSCOW
CLARENCE VAN DUSEN EXPLAINS
HIS ATTITUDE-PRE
LINDLEY REPLIED

What is the law? Shall a state law
passed many years after a United
States law, govern the handling of fed
eral funds coming to the institutions of
state, or shall the priority of the
older law hold? This question was
fully explained by State Auditor C1ar-
ence Van Dusen, to the members of
the Chamber of Commerce at the Tues
day luncheon
Mr.. Van Dusen was a guest and was
introduced by Chairman Suppiger. The
state auditor Immediately went into
the controversy that has arisen be-
tween the state board of education and
the auditors office.
A summary of the situation, as stat
ed by the official, would lead the tax
payer to conclude that the officials
were each honest in purpose. that the
efforts of each, would not materially
change the amount of cash available
to any of the state institutions affect
ed that it is mostly a matter of who
shall have passing control of the funds
involved or through what office dis
bursements shall be made. The fed
eral law that directs the disburse-
ment of the funds for the support of
the state institutions, indicates that
the same shall be handled by the Of
ficials of the schools. The last ses-
e..e Of tofn 81 pxvir1 oil
knowingly, passed a law that, if fol-
lowed, supercedes the national act.
The question then is matter of state
law versus federal law. The problem,
Mr.. Van Dusen said, would be de-
termined by the courts (and OH the
side admitted that the federal law
would win OUT.
The state auditor is making a tour
of the state in the interests of his plan
of uniformity of bookkeeping in the Il
counties of the state. AS presented
to the Moscow men it seems very de-
sirable plan to have adopted.
Following Mr.. Van Dusens talk,
President Lindley, gave the attitude of
the university toward the auditors |
opinion as to the state law super
ceding the federal act. 1T is mat
ter for the courts to pass upon said
the president. ''We believe the fed
eral government has adopted prac-
ticable form of bookkeeping, that
fully protects the funds in question
The books of the university are open
to any and all who are interested. We

statement of all the university ac-
counts are now on file in the Office OF

,le for him, or any one that so desires,

TEN STARS ON
CHRISTMAS TREE
Young Women in Charge
Pronounce French Orphan
Drive Decided Success.

At a late hour this afternoon the
large Christmas tree at the corner OF
DeMers avenue and Third street bore
ten stars. Each star is an indication
that one more French orphan will be
adopted and cared for.
About $500 had been collected. and
although an order was sent in for
1000 more tags, the men of h city
seemed to have the idea tina all would
be sold before the day was over.
Under the supervision Of Mrs. G. M.
Cooley and Mrs. J. A. Poppler. the
drive for the benefit of the French or
phans seems to have been a success,
and with tag sellers stationed at every
corner of the business districts In the
city, very few escape without purchas-
ing at least one tag, and many are
kind enough to buy several.
The sale was to have been held, a
urday, but because Of a snow storm
which impeded Christmas shoppers
from making their appearance, today
was chosen for the campaign.
Saturday was National Tag day for
the benefit of the unfortunate chill.

drive will make possible the caring

THOUSAND NAMES
Figures Are Not Complete.
Result More Than Full
fills Expectations.

Chairman F. v. Kent announces
that after an unusually successful Red
Cross Roll Call drive yesterday, the
roll call includes the anne of over
s,775 residents of this city. Names
are being added every hour, and it is
probable that before the day is over
more than 1000 will have been added.
The receipts of the days work, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kent, amount to
something over $4,000, and as reports
are still being received, it is not UNI
likely that this figure will be consid-
erably increased.
AS compared with the Red Cross
drive held on the corresponding Sun
day last year, this drive is unusually
successful. 1.-THE success of the drive

to the noble spirit of the American
people. They seem to realize the task
which the American Red Cross has
before it and are anxious to admin
lister their assistance. This, however,
is not the only part of the work
which needs comment. The men who
so willingly offered their help yester-
day afternoon are worthy of all the
thanks which the Red Cross organiza-
ton can give them"

There are being organized in var

cradle number of children, after con-
sulting their parents. have decided
to buy a pure bred gilt for this pur-
pose.
1t is necessary that at least five
children, either boys or girls, join to-
gether to form a club. The stock will
consist of pure bred, registered ami
for the actual cost of the animal,
without interest, payable in n year.
He will assume the same responsible
ity that his father would If he were
to buy stock under the same circum-
stances. The parent is not expected
to endorse the note, it being the de-
sire that the child be placed on his
own responsibility in a business way.
However, the parents must give their
consent, and agree that the stock be-
longs to the child and not to the par
ent.
1t is not expected that any special
expenses shall be incurred to care
for the pigs except that the stock
must be given sufficient food and
care.

Beginning tomorrow, only one week

redeemed pledges will be reported to
Washington, D. c.. and it will then be
impossible to make further payment
of the 1915 issue.
1t has come to the knowledge of
Assistant Postmaster j. j. Dunlap
that a number of people who in all
good faith have purchased their quota
of stamps have failed to report this
fact to the postoffice and hence the
office has no record of the pledges be-
ing redeemed. 1t is necessary for the
p%ostoffice department to know what
pledges have been redeemed in order
to make their report complete. Those
purchases which are not reported
will be considered unredeemed by the
department and reported to Washing
