WAR SAVINGS STAMP SALES
SHOW GRATIFYING INCREASE

Latah county is well over the $2OO,OOO
mark III the purchase OF war savings
and thrift stamps, according to the re-
port of Postmaster W. F. Norgarcidge.
Sales at the Moscow postoffice show
gratifying but not satisfactory increase
The county is still nearly $4,000 short
of its quota and will have to do some
great hustling before January 1 if it
gets "over the top
Word came from Ju1iaetta today that
the town will go 'over the top" either
today or tomorrow. A drive is Oh there
and the lively little burg plans to be
the first place i'll the county to raise
its quota. Potlatch lacks but little and
Deary and Bovill are both said to be
making good sales daily. Genesee is
expected to spring surprise within thu
next few days.
The county has lot of work to do
to get its quota but it is believed that
it will make it before the end of the
year. After the Red Cross Christmas
roll is finished Latah county citizens
will start a drive to get the county's
quota.
A. c. Thomas, we'll known retired
farmer, set fine example yesterday
when he called on Mr. .Morgareidge for
$1,000 worth of the stamps The law
permits one person to take no more than
$1,000 worth and Mr.. Thomas took
$1,000 worth for himself and an equal
amount for his wife He has taken
his quota of Liberty bonds and is 100
per cent American.
Every day there are great many
small sales of the stamps. People are
buying them for Christmas presents and
they will make acceptable gifts. 1t is
hoped there will be marked Speed
ing up" in the purchase of the stamps
between now and Janury l.
Yesterday a young woman school
teacher asked for 500 worth of the
stamps and then changed her mind and
said: Il guess you had better give me
$500 worth of the stamps. | can spare
the money and it is a good investment"

WHITE INDIAN"
D|ETz IN TROUBLE
FAMOUS FOOT BALL COACH TO
BE BROUGHT BEFORE DE-
PARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Permission was received yesterday
by local board 2 from the provost
marshal generals office at Washing
ton authorizing the local board to
turn over part of the questlonnalre
of Lone Star Dietz, the Indian football
coach, to the department of justice
for investigation. A request for per-
received by the local exemption board
from the department of justice fol-
lowing the publication Of letter by
Commissioner Argall of local board
2 on the case of Dietz.
Legal Department Gets Facts.
Under recent orders from Wash
ington no one other than clerks and
exemption board members are al
lowed to see a questlonnalre. Ih1s
caused exemption board to lay the
request of the department of justice
before the state selective service de-
partment at Olympia, which forward
ed the request by wire to Washing
ton The provost marshal generals
reply said that the portion of the
Dietz QUESTIONABLE relating to his
citizenship could be turned over to
the legal department of the govern
ment and nothing more. A copy OF
this has been made and given to the
local representatives of the depart
ment of justice.
The communication of Commission
er Argall called attention to the case
of Lone Star Dietz, who claimed ex-
emption as white Indian, although
he had received his allotment from
the government. The claim was de-
MED by local board 2 and Dietz was
placed in class la. Attention was
further directed to the fact that
Dietz is official coach for the ma
rines football team at the Mare Is
land navy yard and in this capacity is
probably holding a government posi-
ton, although declining to fight for
his country.
Tells Senator Jones of Dietz.
Seeing in the newspapers where
Senator Jones of Washington pro-
poses to introduce a bill in congress
directed at aliens who refuse to bear
arms for the United States, Commits
sioner Argall yesterday wrote com
mending the idea and citing the case
of Dietz, whom he called an Amerl-
can born alien who refused to fight
and should be placed ip the same
class as the foreign born alien. The
position held by Dietz as football
coach for the marines is also cited
and an investigation suggested. Com
missioner Argall further states that
Dietz is accustomed to appearing at
the Davenport hotel in Spokane at
tired in a silk hat and kid gloves and
enjoying all of the benefits of life IN
America while other young men OF
similar age and conditions were fight
ing in France.-Spokesman-Review.

FLU SITUATION IS
VERY MUCH BETTER
ONLY EIGHT NEW CASES IN ONE
WEEK-DR. ADAIR GIVES
MORE INSTRUCTIONS

Only eight new cases of influenza
have been reported in Moscow to City
Health Officer Dr. W. A. Adair in the
week ending last night and these cases
are all in two families. The families
of Prem Moore, head of the poultry de-
part1ilent at the University of Idaho
and of Samuel J. Hall, clerk in the
postoffice, each have four cases. All
of the cases are mild DR.. Adair visited
them yesterday evening and gave in
structions as to maintaining the quar-
.antine DR.. Adair said:
"The situation is encouraging. The
epidemic is waning and if we just OBJ
serve all of the regulations we will soon
have the town cleared up. | want to
insist that any one having the disease
in their families either remain at their
homes or away from them or change
clothes before going down town from
their home. | also want to notify the
lodges that large assemblages in lodge
rooms cannot be permitted now Ban
quets and big crowds in the lodge halls
will not be allowed for some time yet.
If we are patient and use good judg
ment for two weeks the town will be
free of the disease"
DIR. Adair says he is anxious to
have the city clean of influenza be-
fore the opening OF the second quart
er of the university. He hopes to
have the town free of the disease by
the time school opens again and that
Moscow will not be like Pullman, Spo-
kane and many other places where
they raised the quarantine and opened
the schools only to have to close them
again. In this connection DR.. Adair
said:
81 want to thank President Lindley,
Dr. Kotalik, Captain Felker and every
member of the university faculty for
the splendid assistance and coopera-
ton they gave during the epidemic.
They helped Moscow and it is our
duty to have the town cleaned up be-
fore the second quarter and the short
courses open on January 6. If all
will cooperate we can do this very
nicely"

'GOOD-FELLOWS"
WANTED IN MOSCOW
MANY CHILDREN WILL BE WITH
OUT THE JOYS OF CHRIST
MAS UNLESS WE ACT

Do you want to be good fellow
and play Santa Claus to some child
rem who will have a pretty slim
Christmas unless some one comes to
the rescue during the next week. Any
one who wishes to donate money or
gifts may present them to Fred
Veatch at the Veatch Realty COM
pany's offices on Main street. Mr..
Veatch is treasurer of the Associated
ceive any contribution either in cash
or in articles up to Tuesday noon.
On Tuesday afternoon the accumula-
tion Of free-will Christmas offerings
will be distributed among the worthy
needy in town and country.
A committee is making every eff
fort to find out just what children are
likely to be overlooked by Santa this
year. Sickness and consequent ina
bility to work have left many father
in this community where he can not
do much for his children's pleasure
this year. Even a small gift will be
welcome. If it is inconvenient to call
in person, a check may be mailed to
the Associated Charities, care of Fred
Veatch.
So far there are 19 children on the
list with the prospect that nine more
will be added within day or two.
Here are some of the things which
Santa Claus has been asked for by
these little petitioners whose wants
are so modest and so sensible that
they should all be filled. Perhaps in
many homes there are extra garments
that will fill the requirements of this
list.
Two little girls of eleven years of
age head the girls column. One of
them needs a coat, warm stockings
(at least two pairs) warm gloves or
sateen bloomers and leggings, for she
has to walk through deep snow to
school. Hair ribbons, handkerchiefs,
games, and books would not come
amiss for these two fine little women.
Two little nine-year old girls need
almost everything there is to wear;
a warm dress, mittens, wool caps,
pretty dolls, stockings, mittens, and
a coat for one of them make up their
lists. One of them has dolly who
has lost her head and all she asks
Of Santa Claus is that new head
may be presented to her beloved
treasure. a 81 szAs.

thing to play with, of course.
A three-year-old girl needs a pair

girl two years old is without shoes
At the present time. She needs a
pair of number A shoes. These little
girls could also use warm; wool-lineds

REV. w. H. BRIDGE TO
GIVE FINE PROGRAM

Mr.. Bridge will present Maeter-
linck's "Pelleas and Melisande" to-
morrow, at the Guild hall at p m.
This is probably the finest of Maeter-
linck's works. 1t creates an atmos-
phere that seldom fails to carry an
audience. Incidental music will be
rendered by Miss Alice Bessie. The
whole performance should be an ar
tistic feast for lovers of drama and
music. With the staying of the flu
hoodoo, which hitherto has kept many
away, a good audience is anticipated
We understand that steps will be tax
en- shortly to form a drama circle in
Moscow, for the development of in
terest in the drama. The large group
that has gathered regularly for these
readings should form a strong perma-
nent nucleus for this very much need
ed effort.

Fred w. Brown Returns.

Fred w. Brown, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George D. Brown, returned today
and is being greeted by his many
old friends. He has been in the avia-
tion corps for more than a year and
was honorably discharged from the
service a few days ago and got home
in time for Christmas. He has had
wonderful experience and says the
training is a great benefit to all
young men who were fortunate
enough to get it. He was disappointed
in not getting to go to France, but
is glad that he entered the service.
