WAR STAMP SALES YIELD
BILLION FOR GOVERNMENT

That habit of thrift which was i'm
planted in the American mind with
such pains and difficulty by the war
department during the past year is
not to be rooted out or to be allowed
to die of inanition, if the efforts Of
the United States committee accom-
plish what is expected of them. The
sale of war savings stamps and GER
tificates is to be continued through
out 1919, and the campaign is already
on. The sale will be prosecuted with
even greater energy and, enthusiasm
than in the past.
The thrift stamp remains unchang-
ed for the coming year, and post Of
fices are asked to sell what they have
had left on hand. The same neat little
folder will be used for preserving
the stamps.
A change has been made in the
war savings certificate 1t is about
2-3 the size of the one issued last
year, and is blue instead of green. 1t
bears the head of Benjamin Franklin,
the father of thrift, instead of that
of George Washington. The scale of
prices and increases in value is the
same as for the 1923 issue. The GER
tificate may be bought this month
for Alp and will be worth SIS when
it natures in 1924. A card costing
$82.40 will be worth $10O five years
from now.
The limit of individual ownership
is $1,000, as it was before, but any
one may buy $1,000 of the new series,
no matter whether he has taken his
full quota of the first issue or no.
In commenting upon the work of
selling stamps during the ensuing
year, Judge James H. Forney, who
has acted as chairman for Latah
county in this important piece of war
work, said: Throughout the nation
one billion dollars was raised by the
sale of war stamps and thrift cards
in 1918. The campaign for 1919 is
now on. Latah county as whole
did not go over the top, but raised
large proportion of her quota. Sew
eral precincts which will be announced
later have more than raised their
quota"
Postmaster Morgareidge has fur
nished the Star Mirror with an inter-
esting report of sales in the county
during the last season. The figures
are not complete, for two, precincts
have not yet sent In their record, but
they show that some of the towns in
the county have done more than their
share in buying these gilt-edged Sc
curities. Genesee took over S35, 900,
Bovill took nearly $4,000, .Juliaetta
went over its quota by many hundreds
Of dollars, and Pine Greek did ex-
we'll Pine Greek, Cora,
and Palouse precincts probably
bought about $4,000 worth of thrift
stamps in Washington post offices.
If Moscow had done her share the
county would easily have taken all
the stamps assigned to her by the
United States treasurer as a mini
mum. About S240,000 were expended
IN this county in stamps the past sea-
son. 8
Today the First National Bank of
his city purchased its limit of $1,000
If stamps of the new issue, and will
ell them to it's numerous patrons.
Postmaster Morgareidge commends
heartily this patriotic service.

PROSPEROUS MERCHANT HERE
Delco System of Lighting Installed
By Prosperous Farmers.

"We are doing a wonderful bust
ness. The best holiday trade that has
ever been known in Troy was carried
on by our store these past few weeks.
This was the statement of Thomas
A. Myklebust, who was in town for a
few hours today. Mr. Myklebust con-
Quoted an excellent store for some
months in Moscow but found it to
his advantage to sell out here and
enter the field at Troy, where he is
doing extremely we'll. He was in town
today to dispose Of the balance of
his lease on the Steele block, on which
he had claim for number of
months to come.
In Troy Mr.. Myklebust is doing a
general merchandise business. Lately
he has made a great feature of in
stalling the Delco lights on farms,
having the agency for the entire coun-
ty. He expects to place many sys-
tens on farms just outside of Mos
COW next spring.

JOURNALISM COURSE
MAKING BIG HIT
CLASS OF TWELVE STUDENTS Or
GANIZED LIKE FORCE OF CITY
PAPER

| One of the most valuable and inter-
esting courses offered at the universi-
| ty at the present time is that conduct
ed by R. d. Jameson, of the department
of English, in practical journalism.
The class, which is composed OF
about dozen students, is organized
for work on the same plan as that fol-
lowed in the typical city room of big
newspaper Taking turns at the var
ious positions, students serve as city
editor, reporters, and copy readers.
The routine prescribed is the same as
that on a city paper. Twelve reporters
are daily combing the university for
items of live news. The material they
gather and edit is disposed of to the
various papers over the state, about
$50 in all. The reporters are ap-
pointed as correspondents of the var
ious state papers, and every man keeps
closely in touch with the students from
the locality of the papers for which he
writes. His budget of news supplies
the students home territory with news
of their activities in college.
Mr.. Jameson, who came to the uni
versity at the beginning of the pres
ent year, has already made deep i'm
preston upon his large classes and
is establishing himself rapidly as an
acquisition of great value to the uni
versity faculty. The course which he
has originated and successfully work.
ed out here in practical journalism re-
ceiyed a most laudatory comment in
a recent issue of the university Of
daily paper.
Although a comparative stranger in
Idaho, Mr.. Jameson is exceedingly in
terested in everything that concerns
The welfare of his new home. He Is
keen to get into closer touch with the
people OF Idaho, and is alert to seize
every chance that will give him an op-
,ortunity of knowing better and serv-
ng more fully the community and
,tate with whose fortunes he has cast
lis own.

REGULATIONS MADE SEVERE
Special Officers Stationed to Break
Up Crowds in All City Stores.

At the request of citizens who
thought the health authorities should
not permit crowding at special sales
if they would not allow public as
semblages for worship or entertain
ment, the mayor has appointed sew
eral extra policemen whose duty it is
to keep the crowds in the stores from
congregating in small area. Ac-
cording to the new rules, not more
than fifteen persons are admitted
into any place of business at time,
and these are not permitted to gather
in groups about a single counter. The
public is told to make purchases
quickly and leave the building. Stores
report that they have never done so
much business as during the past
week of special sales, and that trade
has never been so brisk or the people
so eager to shop.

THRILLING STORY
Of NEEDS IN EAST
SUFFERING AND OPPRESSION OF
EASTERN PEOPLES DECLARED
APPALLING

Comprising a brief summary of the
dire need, the American Committee fol
Relief in the near east, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian anG
Syrian Relief, has had prepared leaf
let giving the following facts:
You are asked for s3O,00O,0O0 to sus-
tain the lives of 3,950,000 Christians
and Jews through the winter through
their return to new life free from
religious and political persecution.
America entered the great war that
the rights of small nations may never
again be trampled upon. The noble
little nations Of the near east have
kept the faith and borne the burden
of massacre which thousands of miles
have kept from our homes.
Victory has come. And now these
bravest and staunchest pilgrims, in
sight of the goal of freedom, stand
for lack of 100000, ,000-your S. and
$40 and $50-in immediate danger of
starvation or of death from the dis
eases of war and hunger.
The Red Cross found the machinery
of relief already at work in the near
east-the missionaries, who know the
people and speak their languages, and
all official representatives of the Uni
ted States had been organized by the
American Committee for Armenian
Syrian Relief. Channels of distribu-
tion were we'll established. And the
Red Cross asked the committee to
carry on all relief work in the near
east territory, in order that there be
neither duplication nor lost motion.
The territory is Asia Minor, the Cau-
casus, Armenia, Persia and northern
Egypt.
Every dollar you give goes to the
near east.
Of the $12,321, 1852 collected before
September 30, $12,371 1852 was sent
% the field. The increase of $4,000
)ver collections was interest accrued
rom daily balances.
Your $3O,OO0O0O will go in full to
save the lives of individuals and of
whole countries.
Full government approval and CO.
operation is given to the commis-
,ion's work. All funds are transmit
ed through the department of state.

HEAVY CASUALTIES RESULT
FROM DISORDERS IN BERLIN

The dispatches today read like new.

which revolutions and counter revolu-
tions, taking a bloody toll of lives
succeed each other in bewilderine
fashion. If the peace conference con-
tlnues its weekly postponements some
of its problems may be simplified
for at the reported rate of slaughter
ing in Berlin, there will be fewer en-

have had little longer chance to
make violent disposition of one an
other.
Berlin Heavy Casualties.
