STILL IN THE RING
After Fifteen Years of Strenuous
Battling and Hard Usage, Model
"F" Ford Still Good

In the salesroom Of the Denk-
Thompson Company, Ford dealers in
Detroit, is Ford touring car No. 604,
looking wonderfully youthful and
sturdy despite its sixteen years Of
daily service. The car was accepted
as $50 on the purchase of new Ford.
Apart from style the old timer is
worth more than that-it 'goes" and
the motor is quite some years this
side of being a pensioner, but vogue
in motordom has changed since 1904.
Engines are no longer wound up
from the side; steering wheels no
longer stick straight up into the air;
and then, too, eight horse power and
five gallon gas tanks aren't quite
sufficient for the modern motorist.
The faithful Ford has not outworn
it's usefulness it has merely outlived
itself. It is as though an old Indian
chieftan would sport himself adorn-
ed in earrings, feathers and mecca
sins among his college-bred ,stylishly,
clad offspring. Noblest among them
but of a different age.
And SO with this Model ''F'' Ford.
What stories it might tell Of following
worn, rutted wagon roads, over
strange country perhaps, running
Through creeks where bridges had not
been built, making its-owners happy
Detroit wasn't so much of town fit
teen years ago. It was Henry Ford's
second year manufacturing Fords in
a factory, his company had just beer
organized.
It is not known who the origina
purchaser of this dependable old ForC
was. or where he lived, whether in
New York or California, Michigan OF
Florida. Six-O-Four may have trav
eled all of the state in the Union
But now it has returned to the plact
of its birth, there to enjoy quiet, re
spectacle old age, while it keeps OF
running and running and running
and cheating the junk man.

STATE CROP OF
| WOOL IMPROVED
Louisiana Forging to Front in
Quantity and Quality Of
Production
(From the New Orleans Item.)

(krom the New Orleans 1Cem.l
Louisiana is slowly forging to the
fore as a wool producing state, de-
clares John S. Denee, field agent Of
the United States bureau of crop es-
Inmates.
An estimate recently made places
the wool production in Louisiana this
year at $4,000 pounds. In 1913
production was $4,000 and in 1917
$500 pounds.
/ The crop brought an estimated to-
tai value of 1851 900 to the wool
growers of this state.
Louisiana farmers are learning
that a little more care in preparing
wool enables them to obtain better
prices for it, says Mr.. Denee. He le-
clares that some of the farmers are
even separating the colors and taking
the burrs out Of the wool before
shearing.
1 Fleece in the last clip varied in
weight from one and three-quarters
pounds for lambs to five pounds for
full grown sheep, the higher weight
being rare and found only occasion
ally in some Of the northern tier of
parishes where the flocks are COM
paratively smaller. A fair average
weight for all was 3.9 pounds.
| When compared with the wool out
put this year of the eleven other
Southern states, Louisiana ranked
fifth, being passed by Texas, Tonnes
see, Virginia and Mississippi in the
order named.
The United States production in
1919, is 265,45O,OO0 pounds against
256, $780, in 1918.
AS a sheep and wool state Louis
lana ought to rank much higher, says
Mr.. Denee. The census of 1910 gave
17s,OO0 sheep and lambs in Louis
lana at that time; the estimated num-
Der on January /, 1919, was only
23O, 900. On the five and quarter
millions of acres of denuded pine
lands in this state, there is ample
room for hundreds of thousands Of
sheen. In 1910, according to the CEN
sus. only three per cent of Louisiana
farms had sheep on them. Many far
mers are interested in sheep, but are
not producers, because the farmers
have never become convinced that
there is any profit to be derived not
withstanding the many efforts made
in the last few years to popularize
this animal.
The largest centers Of production
are in Beauregard and the Florida
parishes. The industry when it be-
comes well established viii be es
pecially valuable to the small farm
EeY It will enable him to keep th'
! weeds down and the revenue up
though Mr.. Denee does not wish tt
be understood by any means as elias
styling sheep as scavengers.
A lettering factor in the growtl
of this animal industry is the killing
of the animals by worthless ours. Blu
even that factor has been taken car
of by Act 239 of the General AS
sembly Of Louisiana, at its last reg
ualr session. The law provides tina
predatory ours destroying sheep ma
be shot instanter, and it imposes sui
stantial penalties on the man VIII
keeps a dog that kills sheep.

SECRET DIPLOMACY .


After several weeks observation
and reading of the reports of the
peace conference, we are convinced
that tn goings-on, even in secret ses-
sion, are being as well reported as
ever the secret sessions of the United
States senate have been. What hap
pms in the sanate's executive ses-
sions" always becomes public the next
morning. The American correspond
ents at Paris have been trained like
ferrets to penetrate the darkest re-
cesses of senatorial secrecy and con-
sequently, the secrecy of peace con-
ference presents to them no insuper-
able difficulties Springfield Repub-

governor of Washington. He is also

be reelected. The first governor to be

President Lindley is anxious to i'm

vicinity the great Importance of the
convention to be held here next week

BIRTH OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Audiences in all parts of the Uni
ted States have been thrilled by the
motion pictures illustrating 'The
Birth of a Nation" but the entire
world will be thrilled by the announce
ment today of the birth of league
of nations to safeguard the peace of
the world 1t has been a momentous
occasion for the world and its an
niversary will, no doubt, be made an
international holiday.
The Star Mirror is privileged to
present to it's readers the outlines
of the covenant, which is the great
est document ever written, not except
ing the Declaration of independence,
for this means to the entire world
what that almost sacred instrument
meant to the United States.
This organization of the greatest
nations of the world to protect them
selves and smaller nations from just
such an outbreak as Germany thrust
upon an unsuspecting and unprepar-
ed world in 1914, means the end of
wars, it is believed. Any country
that starts a war will have the league
of nation to fight and after the war
is over will be boycotted commercially
and made to feel the displeasure of
the world
The plan originated in the United
States, which has been aptly called
IL L. L
cinched its right to the title today. 1t
is proud day for Americans and
great day for the world.

ORGANIZING THE SOLDIERS.
The movement to be started here
tomorrow to organize the soldiers
from Latah county is a good one. The
call is published elsewhere in this
issue and should be read. The men |
are asked to meet at the United States |
employment office on Second street,
in the rear of the First Trust e Saw
ings Bank, at 2:30 tomorrow after
noon.
Much depends upon these young Il
men who helped to save the world
from autocracy and they are asked Il
to take hand in planning for the
future. In a few years they will be /!
at the helm of the government and
they should begin now to study the 4
problems which will confront them 4
later. IA
The government is anxious to help +
each of them when he needs help and
in order that all may be easily and 7
quickly reached they should have an
organization with power to act and 4
every man should be member. The 4
organization which is sbeing planned 4
here is solely for the benefit of the :
veterans of the worlds greatest war |
It is hoped there will be a full attend
ance of these at the meeting tomor-
row.
