EVERY PRECINCT
HAS HONOR FLAG
ARE BEING SENT OUT TO PRE-
CINCT CAPTAINS TO BE
HOISTED THIS WEEK q

Every precinct in Latah county got an
honor flag for the fourth Liberty loan.
These flags reached Moscow yesterday
and are today being sent out to every
precinct captain by H. H. Simpson, coun-
ty chairman, with a request that they be
hoisted at the most prominent place in
the precinct.
This is an honor seldom going to any
county or district With the heaviest
quota ever given to district in Idaho,
every precinct in the county oversub-
scribed its quota within the time speci-
fled, record of which all may well feel
proud. The county subscribed $o1O,3OO
on a quota of $S00,000, the oversubscrip-
ton being about IA per cent
When we consider that this was done
in season when the crop was the light
est ever raised in the county and was the
fourth loan in one year, the showing is
regarded as remarkable.
There were 20 flags received for this
county The county was divided into
20 precincts, each voting precinct being
a precinct for the drive, except, as in the
case of Moscow and Troy, where there
are more than one precinct. Moscow,
with five voting precincts, and Troy, with
two, gets one flag, for each of these
places was one precinct in the loan
drive 1t has been suggested that Mos
cows flag be unfurled with fitting cere-
monies after the quarantine is raised

No new cases of influenza among
either the S. A. T. C. men or the girls
of the University of Idaho have de-
ve1oped. If Dr.. w. A. Adair, city health
officer, reports favorably all classes at
the university will be resumed tomorrow.
DR.. E. H. Lind1ey, president, will re-
quire that all students living in Moscow,
who have not been under quarantine at
the university, will be required to bring
certificates from the city or county health
officer dated not earlier than today. The
situation is very encouraging, but the
greatest care will be used to prevent any
spread of the contagion, either in the
university circles or in town. The uni
versity people have asked to be permitted
to cooperate with the town people in.
fighting the disease in town, as the town
people did with them when the disease
was so bad among university students
Dr. w. A. Adair, city health officer,
has consented to the opening Of the uni
versity for all classes tomorrow and
will grant certificates to all students liv-
ing in Moscow who are entitled to them.
Without these certificates they will not
be admitted to classes. Certificates dated
prior to today will not admit them.
DR.. Adair will be in his office after 7
o'clock tonight and will examine all ap-
plicants and grant them certificates SO
they can enter school at the university

idaho TO RAISE QUARANTINE
SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. "a

We can all go to church next Sunday.
The announcement comes from Boise
that the quarantine in this state will be
raised Sunday morning. The state board
of health, which declared the quarantine,
makes this statement, which leaves no
doubt of its authenticity. 1t IS planned
to hold regular services in all churches
next Sunday at the usual hours
Schools will open at 9 o'clock Monday
morning Every school in Latah county
will be opened at that hour, unless
district develops influenza to such an
extent that it is deemed unsafe. The
county health officer will have authority
to close the school if he deems it unwise
to permit the holding of school III that
district
We can all go to the movies" Monday
night There will probably be a rush to
these on that date, for the people have
been so long without this form of pop
ular amusement that they will relish a
good, clean show once more.
But we are cautioned against being
careless when the quarantine is raised.
The danger will not be over. Raising
the quarantine does not kill germs of the
disease that may be lurking, nor prevent
contagion under favorable condisions.
Physicians predict that we will have in
fluenza for weeks to come and urge that
the utmost care and diligence be used to
prevent another outbreak Of tlc epidemic
here. They say that it is 1iiely thar per-
sons living in the country, who have not
been exposed may become exposed and
contract the disease and others may have
opportunity to spread it. 1t is urged that
upon the first symptoms of the disease
appearing the person afflicted retire
from association with the public and that
voluntary quarantine be established in
every home where the disease appears.
1t is especially urged that children who
may develop symptoms of the disease be
kept out of school until it is ascertained
whether they really have the influenza
or merely a cold, as the early symptoms
of both are quite similar
We are prone to look upon the war as
horrible and the long death list as ter
rible and shocking, yet we are told by
the authorities that twice as many per-
sons have died in the United States from
influenza since it made its first appear
ance about two weeks ago, as have been
killed in the American army since it
began fighting Germany. This has been
the worst scourge the United States has
ever had and has resulted in greater
number of fatalities.

SERMON ON CHRISTMAS BUYING

The article follows:

"It seems almost irreligious to com

"Smith treats Jones because he has

Zones buys back to show he isn't a
tightwad Then Smith buys to show
that he didn't buy the first drink just tc
get one in return. So Jones buys to
reciprocate.
"Brown walks in, and, being regular,
he has met Smith there before. SO he
buys for the crowd; and then each of
the other two buys. Reciprocity again.
And then it's Browns turn.
"This isn't lecture on prohibition but
expenditure. The flood of chemical
fluid that Smith, Jones and Brown pour
into themselves may not hurt them, but
it wastes their money and gives them no
fun. They all know they don't want it,

SHORTHORN BREEDER
VISITS MOSCOW
WELL KNOWN FARMER TO EN-
GAGE IN RAISING REGISTER
ED SHORTHORN CATTLE

L. L. Young, a farmer and stock
man living near Princeton, in the
north part of Latah county, is prepar-
ing to engage exclusively in raising
purebred cattle and has selected
Shorthorns as the breed he will raise.
Mr.. Young has just bought the foun-
dation herd of A. A. Mcdonald, man
ager of the Potlatch Mercantile
company's big store at Potlatch, who
has farm near Potlatch and was en-
gagged in raising purebred cattle and
hogs. Mr.. Young now has fine
herd of purebred Shorthorns and is
preparing to add to it, He was in
Moscow today to see about getting
a lot of young heifers to add to his
herd which now numbers about 65
head, of which number are pure
bred, registered animals.
Mr.. Young says there is bright
prospect for the cattle business and
he thinks that purebred cattle will
pay better than scrubs or grades
in this country where summer pas
ture is scarce. He is considering
leasing his farm and going to some
newer country with his cattle, where
he can get summer pasture and winter
range for his stock.
A. A. Mcdonald, who is manager
of the Potlatch Mercantile company's
store and runs a farm, hog ranch and
dairy in connection with his other
work, was forced to sell his purebred
cattle because of the war. He wanted
to build mammoth barn but could
not get a permit to build one costing
more than $780,, so decided to sell
his cattle and devote his time to his
dairying and raising hogs. He ls
preparing to raise purebred, register
ed Berkshire hogs on large scale.
Just few days after he sold his
Shorthorn cattle the war ended and
the embargo on building was raised
and he can now build as large barn
as he wants, but he has arranged to
go into the hog and dairy business
extensively and will not need the
large barn he planned.
Mr.. Young expects to buy some OF
the alfalfa hay being shipped from
southern Idaho for the farmers of
northern Idaho. He had planned to
take 200 head of cattle to southern
Idaho to feed this winter, but has
given up that plan. He says num-
ber of carloads of alfalfa hay can be
sold in the vicinity Of Princeton,
where there is a shortage of hay, but
where fall pasture is now unusually
good, owing to the heavy rains and
warm weather of the fall months.

an eyewitness and come first-handed.
In speaking about the prisoners
that were captured by his company,
he said the most of the Germans
were boys from 16 to 20 and some
were men from As to rs, who spent
their time after they were captured
weeping and asking to be sent home
Mr. Green related that on numerous
occasions he saw women chained to
machine guns. At one time he saw
a German sniper in a tree and shot
him five times before he knew he
was dead. Mr.. Green could not un-
derstand why the German did not
fall, so he made his way up the tree
to investigate and found to his sur
ed in the tree In the battle in which
Mr.. Green was engaged along in the
early days of June he relates that
he went four days and four nights
without eating.
Since returning to this country as
soon as he got able Mr.. Green has
devoted his time to assisting with
the Fourth Liberty loan, relating his
experiences before large audiences in
the eastern states. He intends to re-
turn to Cape May, New Jersey, for
an operation by November 6.
The young soldier impressed us as
being extremely modest and retiring
but tremendously in earnest and he
only related these experiences on our
most urgent request. With the sight
of one eye gone and pieces of steel
in various parts of his body, his con-
dition is serious, but it is universally
hoped that the pending operation that
he will soon undergo will restore him
at least to some extent to his former
strength.
