EARLY MORNING FIRE

At 8 o'clock this morning the fire
alarm sounded calling. the firemen to
the Gillie house on Deakin avenue,
where a defective flue burned out,
catching fire to the INNER timbers of
the wall causing about $25 damage.
Roy Williams and family, who have
recently moved to Moscow from

the excitement the Oldest daughter

Sunday was one of those ideal days
for which the Palouse country is not
ed during the fall season. With warm,
bright sunshine and bracing breeze,
with the sky unclouded and the air
clear and pure, it was a day to in
vite people to wander in the country,
or seek the woods and mountains and
many accepted the invitation. 1t is
real pleasure to drive in the coun-
try now with the roads smooth and
free from dust and the foliage taking
on the color of fall Few sections
have as nearly perfect weather in the
fall as the glorious old Palouse.

The government has placed on sale
lot of army blankets and other army
supplies left over after the war Both
wool and cotton blankets are offered
for sale at what seem like very low
prices. Our advice would be to those |
planning to buy blankets to order |
cotton for if the delivery is as slow
as it has been with the groceries |
ordered August 18, (Which have not !
yet arrived) they will have no need |
for wooden blankets when the goods
get here next summer.

In December, 1918, there were 140,
900 more employees on the railroads
than in December, 1917. Yet the
amount of freight handled in De
cember, 1918, was considerably less
than in the corresponding month OF
1917.
We are doing less in day now,
and manufacturing less, so there is
not as much wealth as formerly. We
are all gradually getting poorer,
whether we realize it or not.

there are 1890 fewer working hours
