LATAH COUNTY STANDS 18TH
IN WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Latah, the richest county, per capita
and one of the most prosperous counties
in the state Of Idaho, stands No. 1S
among the Al counties of Idaho in Way
Savings Stamp work, according to Judge
~. H. Forney, head of the campaign in
this county Judge Forney asks the
press to take up the work and show the
people the need of united and prompt
quota. He said: "The newspapers have
done splendid work, but we must depend
upon them for more publicity Make it
plain to the people that War Savings
stamps are the same as Liberty bonds
and they get credit for them just as they
would if they had bought bonds. The
the people lend it to the government they
will have to pay it directly to the gov
ernment in taxes which are already so
high that people are complaining. Buy
stamps, which is loaning your money at
a good rate of interest, instead of paying
higher taxes"
Judge Forney has issued the following
statement which he asks the press of
Latah county to publish:
"a Message From Your Government.
"Judge Forney states that the war
saving matter is now to the front; that
Blaine county stands at the head of the
list in Idaho, Shoshone county second
and Latah 10Th. $4,000 has been pur-
chased by Latah county, $7.72 per capita
our rank for October was No. IS.
"Prepare for the big cleanup drive of
Honor Week. the first week in De-
cember.
'You have done your duty as a voter
now meet your greater obligation as a
WAR SAVER.
"Your government commands that you
save at home-save at every possible
point and buy War Savings stamps.
"Your state and county have made a
record in the fourth Liberty
bond drive and in every other war de-
you spoil perfect record
for the year by falling down on your
War Saving quota?
"Wi1l you fail to back up the Boys in
France to the full? A thousand times
NO!
..To meet her quota Latah will have
to buy twice as many War Savings
stamps in November and December as
she bought in the first 10 months; she
must buy 200,000-only 100000 have been
purchased.
Ponder this-take it home with you--
then take such action as becomes "a pa
triotic and loyal citizen.
"Fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grand
mothers of our soldiers, have you bought
YOUR War Savings stamps?

IDAHO WINS FROM
GONzAGA COLLEGE
UNIVERSITY MAKES TOUCH
DOWNS TO ONE FOR SPO-
KANE SCHOOLS TEAM
University of Idaho, 13.
GOnzaga College, Z.

This tells the story of one of the
most exciting games of foot ball
played in Moscow in years. The
game was won by Idaho in the last
few minutes of the last quarter, when
Lieutenant Hanson went over the line
for touchdown and goal was kicked
by Richardson The score had stood
7 to 6 in Gonzaga's favor until that
time.
In the last five minutes of the
game Gonzaga stiffened her resist
ance and offensive and got on Idaho's
] yard line when a tumble gave Idaho
the ball and it was kicked into center
just as the whistle blew.
First Quarter.
Gonzaga won the toss and took
choice of field. Idaho kicked off but
did not lose the ball. Idaho kicked
again, landing ball in center of field.
Scrimmage, line plays and fumbles
followed. McKiernen, left guard for
Gonzaga, got the ball and made a
spectacular end run of 40 yards for
touch down. Gonzaga kicked goal.
The ball was put back in the center
of the field. Gonzaga made several
good forward passes. Idaho made
some good center drives. Ball passed
back and forth Several times. Time
called with bail on Idahos 80 yard
line. Score, first quarter, Gonzaga,
7, Idaho, 0.
Second Quarter
Gonzaga gets the ball on her %
yard line. Loses ball to Idaho, which
makes center plunges and line drives,
reaching -Gonzaga's 1 yard line. Looks
like touchdown for Idaho, but Con
zaga gets ball and kicks 40 yards to
Irving, of Idaho, who advances down
center. Line plunges by Idaho, which
Gonzaga could not break up, takes the
ball to Gonzaga's 2 yard line. A
massed play pushes Garrity, of Idaho,
over for a touch down. Brigham fail
ed to kick goal for Idaho. Ball put
back in center of field. Gonzaga gets
it and by end runs and forward pass
es reached Idaho's yard line. Tried
forward pass which tailed. Gonzaga
lost 10 yards, Idaho gets ball and
plunges back to her 40 yard line.
First half ends with ball there and
score to 6, in Gonzaga's favor.
Third Quarter.
Neither side scored in this quarter.
Hard scrimmages, passing of the ball
from one side to the other, fine blocks
of forward passes and general good
playing marked this quarter, but the
score did not change.
Fourth Quarter.
Gonzaga kicks to center. Idaho's
ball. Pass failed, Gonzaga gets ball
again. Kicks to Hansen, who made
the most spectacular play of the day,
a right end run of 40 yards landing
him over the line for a touch down.
The crowd went wild. Gonzaga SEEM
ed to take new energy and by series
of plunges and forward passes reach
ed Idaho's 1 yard line and the crowd
held it's breath. A touch. down would
tie the score. A goal would give the
game to the visitors. In the scrim-
mage, every man fighting like mad,
Gonzaga fumbled, Idaho got the ball,
kicked it back 40 yards. Whistle.
Everybody yelled and the game was
over.

ANOTHER DEATH
FROM INFLUENZA
YOUNG SOLDIER LAYS DOWN
LIFE THIS MORNING AFTER
A BRAVE STRUGGLE

Frank J. Paterka, of Spokane, a
member of class A, of the S. A. T. c..
at the University of Idaho, died this
morning of pneumonia, following in
fluenza. He had been in a critical
condition for several days. His
mother, Mrs. l. j. Paterka, was with
him when the end came. He will be

noon.
The young man was a graduate OF

Word reached here today that How
ard Fenton, of Kendrick, died there

WANTS FINANCIAL
STATEMENT OF CITY
TAXPAYERS WANT TO KNOW
WHY REPORTS OF FINANCES
ARE NOT PUBLISHED

Since last June there has been no
monthly report of the financial condi-
ton of the city of Moscow published in
the official paper. Taxpayers have won
dered why this report is no longer made
public and many inquiries have been
made over the telephone and in person
by interested people. The following
communication tells how one heavy tax
payer feels about it. His letter to The
Star Mirror follows:
Moscow, Idaho, Nov is, 1918.
Editor Star Mirror.
"Why do we not have reports of the
expenditures of our city published in the
newspapers as formerly? Surely the
people who pay the taxes are entitled to
know what becomes of the money.
"For many months we have had no
report from the city authorities on the
expenditures for maintaining the city
government The taxpayers are certain
not go to the city hall and get this in
not go to the city hall and get theis in
formation. We depend upon the news
papers for this, for the newspapers reach
all of the people.
"Why is it that the publication of the
expenditures has stopped? Are we not
entitled to this information? Let us have
it at least once month. The cost of
publishing this would be very small,
probably less than one cent for each tax
paper, and I am sure that any one of
them would be willing to pay one cent
month to know what is being done with
the city's money.
