MI = AK NJ lkROK OMORR()W
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day and
The Star Mirror, i'll common with all
business enterprises of Moscow, will OBJ
serve the day and the office will be
closed. The force is entitled to day
of rest and feasting and the people can
dispense with the paper for one day.
The Star Mirror has much for which
to be thankful 1t has had fairly
prosperous year and is on a more solid
foundation than at any time in its his
tory The management has tried to
give the people of Moscow a paper of
which they would not be ashamed The
people have, had real newspaper in
all that the word implies 1t has not
been an organ for any person, party
or clique and has fought nobody's per-
sonal battles, but has made a de-
termined and consistent fight for Mos
COW, for Latah county for the Uni
versity and for the state of Idaho
The Star-Mirror wishes to thank the
loyal friends who have supported it
and helped it in its efforts to become
credit to the town. 1t has received
from many of our business men, the
most loyal support and it has tried to
deserve that support. 1t has brought I
to the people every evening the news
of the world before they could get it I
from any other source. It is your pa
per- 1t is working for your interests
and it wants you to feel that this is
true and if there is anything published
I'm if that does not suit you it asks
you to come to the office and talk it
lover with the manager or the editor.
The Star-Mirror can join with every !
lone in Moscow tomorrow in feeling that
there has never been a time in the his
tory of the world when there was such |
actual cause of thankfulness.

DER TAG"
America now has the second largest
navy in the world. Only England has
a larger and stronger one. The sur
render of Germany and its turning over
Of the bulk of its naval forces to the
allies marks the downfall of that nation
as naval force. Der Tag has ar Z
lived and the big German monster re-
fused to fight. The men who never
nutinied at orders to kill women and
hildren or to shell the helpless life
,oats gave up their vessels without Civ ~
