COTTONWOOD MAN
FOUND NOT GUILTY
WILLIAM WAGNER, CHARGED
WITH DISLOYALTY, RELEASED
BY GRAND JURY

"Not True Bill" is the report made
by the federal grand jury in the case of
William Wagner, well-known resident
and wealthy citizen of Cottonwood who,
on July II, 1918, was held to the grand
jury for alleged disloyal utterances
against the government He was charged
with trying to assist German citizens in
evading the draft law and with speaking
disloyally of the United States govern
ment
The evidence showed that Wagner had
voluntarily bought $12O0 worth of Lib
erty loan bonds without solicitation; had
invested heavily in war savings stamps
has one son in the army in France and
another in the S. A. T. c., in the Univer-
sity of Idaho, at Moscow 1t was
brought out that he is 1aian prone to
argue and had engaged in many argu-
ments as to when the war would end
and had made number of bets that it
would not end before certain dates and
had won these BETS Those who bet with
him and lost were naturally "sore" and
he was charged with disloya1ty and held
to the federal court under heavy bond,
which he gave in cash He showed the
reporter check for $500 which had
been returned to him as his bond, when
the case against him was dismissed.
Mr.. Wagner was before the federal
court in two capacities, as defendant
in criminal action and as a petit juror
After the case against him was dismissed
he remained in Moscow as juror.
The case was widely published at the
time of Mr. Wagner's arrest, owing to
his prominence in northern Idaho, pub
licity being given to the story in Spo-
kane, Moscow and Lewiston papers. Mr.
Wagner feels that he is entitled to as
much publicity now that the case is dis
missed Mr. Wagner owns much prop
erty in the Cottonwood neighborhood
and has wife and eight children.

.LATAH COUNTY GAN
REACH HER QUOTA
ENOUGH PLEDGES HAVE BEEN
MADE TO PUT COUNTY OVER
TOP IN w. S. S. DRIVE

Latah county has enough pledges to
take her full quota of $360000 of war
savings stamps before December 81 il
the pledges are all taken up. This is
| the statement of the committee that had
charge of the drive last summer. Pledges
were taken at that time and those making
| the pledges agreed to take their quota
of stamps before the end of the year, but
they have not done SO. The committee
is considering publishing the lists of
pledges with the amounts taken by those
who signed the pledges if they do not
take them before the end of the time
limit
Latah county's quota is $4,000 and
about half of that sum or $4,000 has
been taken This leaves about $18O,OOO
to be raised between now and New
Years day. This amount has been
pledged, but many who signed pledges TO
take certain amounts have failed to do
So Their attention will be called to this
neglect.
Some sales are being made every day.
Yesterday the sales through the Moscow
postoffice exceeded $1,000, but it would
require more than double that amount
every remaining day of this month, in
Guiding Sundays and holidays, to raise
the countys quota.
1t will not require; heavy purchases by
any person to raise the amount the
county yet lacks. It is estimated that
there are 10000 persons in Latah county:
If each of these took $o..worth it, would
put the county over the top. There are
many who cannot take 50 worth, but
there are scores who can take 100 times
SO worth and not miss it and there ire
other scores who can take $500 worth of
the stamps and find them a good invest
ment
This money is needed to bring home
the boys who won the war for freedom
1t is needed to care for the nearly 100000
wounded who will be sent to base hospi-
tails as near their homes as possible
(Camp Lewis being the hospital for the
wounded of this section) and it will be
needed to care for them and others after
they reach the United States
Latah county has done her duty al
ways. She certainly will not fall down
now, on this important work, when more
than half Of it is done.

WASHINGTON IS
REALLY BONE DRY
EVEN DRUG STORES NOT PER-
MITTED TO SELL LIQUOR FOR
MEDICINAL PURPOSES

SPOKANE.-Drug stores are out of
whisky and they will get no more. All
drug stores were sold out last night
Reports received by local druggists
last night were that the governor had
signed the bone-dry bill Today finds
Spokane drug stores bone dry, SO far as
whisky is concerned. A few drug stores
have small supplies of port and sherry
wine, but the quantities are so negligible
that before the day is over it is predicted
that every Spokane drug store will be
without a drop of intoxicating liquor.
There is no beer here and hasn't been,
so far as the drug stores are concerned,
for more than a week
The law requires all drug stores to
dispose of their stocks within 10 days
after the governor signs the proclama-
ton Spokane drug stores will not be
obliged to ship any liquor out of the
state, because they have been running
low, and what supplies they had were
during the influenza epidemic.
Will Murgiittroyd, proprietor of Muir
gittroyd's, stated that he had received
number of calls today for small guam
titles of whisky from influenza patients
and doctors in charge of influenza and
pneumonia cases, but that his establish
ment hasn't drop of whisky and will
get no more Other drug stores make
similar reports. A number of prescrip-
tions which call for whisky remain TN
filled.

GOV. MCCONNELL
ASSUMES NEW ROLE
BEST KNOWN CITIZEN OF MOS
COW MANUFACTURES A
NEW BREAKFAST FOOD

Giving up politics, in which he has
been actively engaged for half century,
w. J. Mcconnell, former governor,
former United States senator, pioneer
of Moscow and founder of Latah county,
is devoting his spare time to the manu-
facture of new breakfast food He
has opened a factory in the Sanitary
Market building on Third street, oppo-
site the postoffice and is here putting
out food that he believes will become
very popular with the public when its
merits become generally known: Gov
ernor Mcconnell said: "I have lived on
this food for a year. l wanted to try
it out thoroughly. I have eaten it twice
a day, for breakfast and supper, for a
year and feel that it has done me much
good"
He calls the new food Oatmeal
Blend" It is made of oats, cornmeal,
flax meal and bran, mixed and blended
so that the best qualities of each OF these
cereals is brought out. In explaining the
advantages of this food over ordinary
oat meal or rolled oats, Governor Nc
Connell said to the writer:
'Did you ever keep batch?" On being
answered in the affirmative, he asked ::
"Did you ever notice how the vessel IN
which oat meal was cooked was covered
with a sticky, glutenous substance almost
impossible to wash clean?" Again the
scribe pleaded guilty, and the ex-gov-
ernor continued: "Did it ever occur to
you that this same glutenous, sticky sub
stance would cling to the interior OF the
stomach and the intestines just as it does
to a metal vessel or a dish? Well, by
this blend we eliminate that property of
oats and we get stronger, sweeter, more
nutritious food, easier of digestion and
without these objectional features. We
are making this food in our factory on
Third street and we have put it on sale
in all of the stores of Moscow today.
We want the people to try it and believe
that if they try it out thoroughly they
will use it in preference to any other
breakfast food The people should re-
member that it is wholesome, nutritious,
and is made in Moscow"
Today Oatmeal Blend is on sale IN
the stores of Moscow and if it proves
to be as good as its discoverer thinks it
is, the modest plant opened on Third
street may develop into a great factory.
Moscow people will certainly give it a
fair trial for they want to help build up
any new enterprise that promises TO help
the town.

FOR 1878 WHEAT
GIVEN THAT PRICE
FIXED BY PRESIDENT WILL
SON WILL HOLD

WASHINGTON.-The guaranteed
price for the 1919 wheat crop fixed at
1925 a bushel, Chicago basis, will
stand even though the Lever act, un-
der which the price was fixed, should
become imperative through conclu-
sion of peace, in the opinion of the
food administration.
The administration tonight issued q
statement Interpreting the Lever act
and pointing out that the law provides
that all rights or liabilities under
this act arising before its termina
tion shall continue and may be en-
forced in the same manner as if the
act had not terminated"
Wheat growers in many parts of
the country, it was said, have be-
come apprehensive that the guaran-
teed price for the 1919 crop might
be rescinded through conclusion Of

PROVIDE CHRISTMAS
JOY FOR CHILDREN
SICKNESS AND HIGH COST OF
LIVING MAY DEFRAUD LITTLE :
ONES OF PLEASURE

Christmas is less than three weeks off,
and unless something is done about it,
there are going to be good many chill
dren in Moscow and the surrounding
country this year who will never have
any taste of Christmas JOY Sickness
and poverty and high prices of necessi-
ties will combine this season to keep
many little kiddie under 10 years old
from having remembrance from Santa
Claus; and many a table will be set on
Christmas day without any holiday cheer
to mark the day from any other in the
would or could enjoy having his own
family and friends celebrate that day if
he knew that there was a single miser-
able and unhappy child that could be
reached and provided for in this town.
1t is not too late yet to make plans
whereby some remembrance, no matter
how small and cheap, can be planned
for children whose own parents this year
cannot provide candy, toys, or even
clothing. If you know of any such fam
lily where there has been sickness, death,
lack of employment, or extra bad luck
of any kind, be sure to make the fact
known. The children will be given a
little reminder of what will and should
be the greatest Christmas the world has
ever seen. The Associated Charities will
be glad to learn about people who need
a little bit of timely help right now

phone is number As, or Mrs. B. P. Grif-
fifth, whose number is 120L, or you can
phone SO any evening. Do this by Sun

COUNTY TAKES $40 WORTH OF
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS PER
CAPITA-MAKES RECORD

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 5.-(Special to
The Star Mirror. blaine county is
honor county in Idaho in the war
savings stamp campaign. Director
Armstrong wires state headquarters
that his county is across and has al
ready purchased $40 worth of war
saving stamps per capita. With very
few exceptions all counties in Idaho
are putting on an earnest campaign
this week to mop up their quotas Of
war savings stamps. The slogan
seems to be "It must be done and we
will do it." Executive Secretary
Eaton wishes to emphasize the fact
that in this drive no oversubscription
is asked the workers are not to try
to sell more stamps than their coun-
tvs quota. When the quota is reached
full duty has been performed and
that is all that is expected but the
government certainly expects that.
State headquarters urged speeding up
throughout Idaho that there may be
no failure in the performance of this
states war savings duty.
