CHRISTMAS TREE
FOR FORMER KAISER
INVITED GUESTS REFUSE TO
ATTEND FESTIVITIES.-BI
TO PREACH SERMON

| LONDON, Dec. 23.-William Hohen
rollern has arranged for himself {
Christmas celebration after the tradi
tional German style, as far as the cir
cumstances will permit, according to &
dispatch to the Daily Express from
Amsterdam today
The arrangements, by the ex-emper-
or's insistence, will include elaborate
religious ceremonies on Christmas eve
The idea of using the village chapel for
these, however, has proved impractical
bic for various reasons, one of them
being the fear of possible hostile dem
onstrations. The services accordingly
will be held in the drawing room of
Amerongen castle, which will be con-
verted into chapel
The ex-emperor desired to have the
court chaplain, Dr. Ernest Won Dry
ander, come from Berlin to preach the
sermon at the Christmas eve ceremony,
but the Berlin government, says the
dispatch, has refused permission for the
chaplain to go to Holland. The service
consequently will be conducted by a
German missionary from Zeist, near
Amerongen, but Herr Efollenzo1lern
himself will deliver the sermon.
Many friends of Count Won Bent
inck, the former emperor's <host, have
been asked 10 attend sthe service the
message adds, but have refused. The
former rulers audience, therefore, will
consist of Count Won Bentinck and his
family, the ex=emperor's suite and the
servants of the. castle.
Kaiser Cuts Trees.
Christmas trees will be provided, as
usual, for the celebration. Herr Hohen-
zoliern cut these down himself with the
help Of two men of the estate in the
pine woods. The trees are
being decorated and loaded with gifts,
but the former ruler has requested that
none be given him and the ex- empress.
The feature of the Christmas dinner
will be the turkey. In accordance with
Prussian family custom, Herr Hohen-
zollern will do the carving himself.
There also will be plum pudding, made
after an old English recipe which it is
the ex-enlpcro- mother,
Princess Victoria, took to Germany with
her from Windsor castle.

FARMERS Of CEDAR CREEK
RIDGE ARE PROSPEROUS

That the country about Cedar Creek
ridge is one of the most prosperous
sections of the Inland Empire and
that the prosperity is largely due to
the fact that the farmers raise a di-
verslty of products is the statement
OF o. S. Fletcher, Latah county agent,
who spent three days in that section
interviewing the farmers in the in
terest of the farm bureau. Incident
ally he increased the farm bureau
membership in that section from five
to IA during his visit to the ridge.
Mr.. Fletcher said:
81 have visited few sections that
are as prosperous as Cedar Creek
ridge and | attribute this condition
to the diversified farming that is
carried on there. The farmers raise
number of crops and do not depend
wholly on wheat and every farmer
has some livestock to eat the
waste and the rough feed produced
on the farm. 1t would be difficult.
to say what is the major crop there.
1t is close race between wheat and
beans, but the farmers raise every
kind of crop and but small portion
OF the land is allowed to remain idle.
Corn does well in that section and
quite large amount of corn is raised.

A program of community work was
arranged for next year. The first
problem to be taken up is the squirrel
problem and all of the farmers will
start a campaign at the same time
for the destruction of squirrels The
second problem to be taken up is
weeds. The entire community will
work in unison to destroy the weed
pests. Livestock is the third thing
on the program. Every farmer has
pledged himself to try to have more
and better livestock on his farm. The
insects and diseases that have been de-
stroylng or injuring the bean crop
will be the fourth problem taken up
and in this work the farmers will have

oartment and the experiment station

TWO THOUSAND RED
CROSsERS NOW HERE
MOSCOW WENT OVER THE TOP,
in THE RED CROSS CHRIST
MAS ROLL CALL

Moscow made it. The city reached
the goal of membership fixed when
the Christmas roll call was started.
There are 1000 members of the Red
Cross in Moscow, now This means
that $4,000 has been added to the
funds to care for the sick, wounded
and afflicted soldiers and supply their
needs after the return home from the
battle fields.
Moscow always reaches her goal,
If you give her time enough. The
influenza, the bad weather, all COM
bined to deter the work, but it has
gone on steadily from the first day
and Moscow has a membership of
which her citizens can feel proud.
This result was not obtained with
out hard and persistent work. The
women who had charge of the booths,
the girls who worked on the streets,
the women who managed the drives,
have all been mentioned, but back of
planned and managed the drive. H.
II. Simpson, county chairman, who
so successfully managed the fourth
Liberty loan drive, deserves special
credit, but Mr.. Simpson refuses to
take the credit for the success of the
Red Cross drive and said: -e
"More credit is due to Mrs. Hutton,
who had charge of. the publicity work
and wrote the splendid articles ap-
pealing to the people than to any one
else. She worked ceaselessly and her
work brought results.
'sMrs. Forney, who had charge of
the drive, and secured the women to
work in the booths, is also deserving

PRESIDENT L|NDLEY
THANKS MOSCOW
UNIVERSITY HEAD TELLS OF
HIS APPRECIATION OF Co
OPERATIVE SPIRIT

DR.. E. H. Lindley, president of the
University of Idaho, wishes the people
of Moscow and vicinity to know how
he and the university faculty appreciate
the splendid spirit of cooperation that
has been shown here during the intlu-
enza epidemic and in making it possible
to secure such large corps of the 5. A.
T. C. here. DR. Lindley has asked The
Star Mirror to publish the following
statement:
To the People of Moscow
wish to express to you the grateful
thanks of the university for extraordi-
nary services rendered. The university
is attempting to compile roll of honor
of all who rendered special assistance
during the recent ordeal. The list, how
ever, is so lengthy that it will be inn
possible to render acknowledgment to
individuals.
At the outset you assumed large re-
sponsibi1ities in order to provide for the
Students Army Training Corps. You
made possible one of the largest corps
in the Northwest, representing every
locality in Idaho and contingent from
a sister state.
When the influenza came and death
began to stalk among our boys, Moscow
rose to her full height and, forgettul
of self, cared for the stricken as though
they were her own.
On every hand there has been mani
tested throughout the spirit Of kindly
hospitality and cooperation. The good
name of the city is in consequence dit
fused throughout the state. From the
Panhandle to the Yellowstone the word
has passed, Moscow is taking good
care of our boys and girls
The demobi1ization of the Students
Army Training Corps closes an unique
chapter in the history of the university
and the state. You helped the universe
ty to win a creditable record, the benefits
of which will not quickly disappear
Mindful of the noble spirit of your deeds,
the university goes forward to meet the
perplexing problems Of the immediate
future with confidence in your continued
loyalty to the great trust conflded tol
YOU by the state of Idaho.
May the memory of the days justl

GREENHOUSE DOES A
THRIVING BUSINESS

The Roselawn Greenhouse, operated
by Scott Brothers, is doing rushing
holiday business. This greenhouse
has built up a trade that extends far
into the surrounding country and like
other Moscow business enterprises
draws patronage from many other
towns. Among the orders received
by this firm yesterday were one each
from Endicott, Wash, and Nezperce,
Idaho, and two each from Cotton
wood, Potlatch and Deary, Idaho, and
two from Palouse. First class goods
and reasonable prices tell the story.
This is one of the substantial busi-
ness enterprises of Moscow and brings
trade from all sections of the Inland
Empire.

When the Germans let loose upon
the world their poisons gas and their

that the end had been reached.
1t had not For since that time
have these same Germans found, and

absolute negation of ethics, or morals,
of decency, of humanity that has

And this new weapon is lies.
Throughout this country, as well as
