Jim and his wife had 5000 in
the bank and real estate valued
at $500. After the funeral Mrs.
Atwood rented their apartment
stored their furniture and de-
/ termined to be self-supporting.
The $500 and the property should
not be touched; they were her
life-preserver, her security in case
+; ill-health should lay her low. She
had never heard of such legal per-
plexities as will, an administra-
trix, etc. The money and the
property belonged to her and jim
together; both of them had put
their savings into it. Now jim
was gone, and it was hers, of
course. That was all there was
to it.
But there were others to whom
the ways Of the law were no
mystery. The undertaker's bill
was shamefully exorbitant. Mrs.
jim protested against it, quarreled
with the undertaken, and at
length fed from him, tearfully re-
fusing to pay. The undertaken
forthwith applied to the courts for
letters Of administration. Then
confronted with the law, in spit
of herself, Mrs. Jim sought law
yer and placed herself in mis-
hands.
The undertaker's action was
finally defeated, but in the pro-
cess most Of the 5000 was used up.
Meanwhile other and unsupported,
debts appeared. Jim had been a
good liver; he had owed money
here and there. not large amounts,
but they counted up. Some of the
bills Mrs. Jim was sure had been
paid, but She had no yroof. Sol
the creditors combined and laid
siege to the $500 property. 1t
was ordered sold; the property
disposed Of under forced sale in
verbally suffers. The $500 real
estate brought $1,000 under the
hammer. After the debts were
settled Mrs. Jim had just $1,000
left.

appointing her administrative OF
the estate, the bank was helpless
to pay her one penny Of the mol
ey which she herself had worked
to save.
To the court she went. The
Judge examined Mrs. Stone and
convinced himself that she was
entitled to administer her hus-
bands estate, that he would have
wanted her to administer it.
Are You prepared to give
bond, as required by law?" ne
asked.

Stone. Why don't know. l

So the judge explained-as ev-

hundred times a year-that the
law require san administrative to

the personal property of the de-

personal property $3.50; Mrs.
Stone. therefore must find friends,
property owners, willing to go on
her bond to the amount Of, 81, 800.
Did Mrs. Stone have such friends?
Mrs. Stone had no friends with
the requisite property qualifica-
ton. Hence she had to look for
her bond to the surety company
a concern whose business it is to
furnish bonds at a price.
Mrs. Stone paid the price, not
an exorbitant price, but larger
price than her husband would
have had to pay to have his will
properly drawn by a lawyer in
the first place. And SO, after
weeks Of worry and expense, she
went back to the court with her
bond, and from the court to the
bank.

been in her hands the day after
the funeral was finally placed

A middle-aged couple-the
Everett Stones-lived happily in
a small city in Ohio. He was an
accountant, whose salary was
about 1926 month. They had
two children, and, while their in

RATE HEARING
BEING HELD IN MOSCOW

The hearing of the application of
the Moscow Telephone & Telegraph
Company for permission to increase
its rates is now being held in the
court house. A vast amount of testi-
mony is being taken. Many farmers
and other patrons are present, the
farmers being especially strong in op-
position to an increase as asked for
by the company. Patrons of rural
lines are paying 25 cents month for
service. One farmer announced that
arrangements had been made to con-
meet with some of the business houses
in Moscow and get service that way
through the merchants telephone.
Testimony showing the cost of build
ing and equipping the lines, cost of
reproduction at present prices, and
cost of operation are being shown by
an expert from the public utilities
commission, who made an inventory
of the property several months ago.
It is believed the testimony will be
finished tonight but it will probably
be several weeks before a decision
is rendered in the case as the testi-
mony will have to be Transcribed.
The announcement of the findings of
the commission will be made from
Boise, later, it is believed.

POPULAR PRIEST WILL
LEAVE MOSCOW PARISH

Rev. Father R. Pecoul, priest in
charge of Moscow parish, is to leave
Moscow next week to take up work at
Mullan. The announcement will cause
genuine regret among Catholics and
Protestants alike. Father Pecoul has
been here 10 years and four months
and during that time has built up
the church and the parish. 1t is said
there has been a wonderful improve
ment in financial, social and other
parts of the work during his adminis-
tration. Ursuline Academy, six
months old when he came here, was in
small rented building and has
grown to a powerful school that is
doing wonderful work for the young
people. Father Pecoul, during his
administration here, has been identi-
fled with the uplift work, the upbuild-
ing of the town and has made hun
dreds of friends and few, if any,
enemies. The Star Mirror voices the
sentiment of many citizens in express
sing regret at his departure and hopes
for success and contentment in his
new field of labor.
In addition to the work in Moscow,
Father Pecoul had charge of the work
at Potlatch four and half years and
finished the church there. He also
built new churches in Elk River and
Bovill, finishing both without any in
debtedness. He has been a real pio-
neer in church work in the lumber
districts of this and adjoining coun-
ties, in addition to building up the
church and school in Moscow.

the University of Idaho will open its
twenty-eighth scholastic year Monday
morning. Monday and Tuesday will
be devoted to registration, no actual
classes having been scheduled until
Wednesday.
Present prospects are that the
University's student population will
be unusually LARGE declared P. M.
Soulen, chairman of the committee on
admissions, this afternoon. "I already
have received 164 applications from
future freshmen. Ordinarily more
than half the students bring their ap-
plications with them, which means, |
trust, that the first year class will
number about 300."
Many members of former classes
who have been in the service during
some part of the past two years ex-
pect to return, according to reports
from the several campus groups. At
least three of the fraternities will
have more undergraduates in college
than they will be able to accommodate
in their houses.

Wahl was arrested after he had
negotiated the sale of Liberty bonds
in the sum of $3.50 to Ed Klonick and
Mr.. Klonick had offered the bonds for
sale at the First National Bank where
they were recognized as the bonds
taken from the Clifford postoffice

Klonick led the officers to Wahl

that resulted in the arrest of Jack

ton as witness of Fred Lowery, the

Dalton and Cline have refused to talk
other than to assert that they know

Wahl has endeavored to involve them.

guaranteed price based on such
proper grade and dockage at the
terminal most advantageously reach

margin.
For the proper enforcement of the
above rule, the licensee shall keep

price paid, and reason for fixing grade
under No. L, including test weights,
and dOckage or price between the

The Grain Corporation will facilit-
