KEY WEST, Fla, Wednesday night
Florida was paralyzed today
as result of the violent hurricane
that passed over that section last
night.
Not house in this city escaped

over. The damage is estimated at
more than $2,000,00O.

disaster. Several small vessels were
sunk and others were driven to the
reefs Tonight high wind and rough
sea prevented the rescue work.
Only One House Left Standing
In the little town of Goulds, near
Miami, eight buildings were de-
stroyed and 13 were partially demol
ished. The hurricane cut swath
through the pine forest from Biscayne
Bay and struck the village with ter
rifle force. Only one house was left
in Marathon, a small village.
Although the property damage was
enormous not single fatality has
been reported.

reputation more firmly and in wider
territory. AS a result every business
house in Moscow will make fair week

the fair will be given an opportunity

such excellent bargains that they will
want to come again, not once, but
regularly to trade with Moscow busi-
ness houses. Farmers are urged to
refrain from laying in their fall and

believe they can save enough on .bllE

distance, bring his family and enjoy
the fair and go home better off than
he came. Every business house in
Moscow, from the biggest department
store to the smallest business houses
in town, and the automobile Dealers,
the hardware merchants, every one
will have some special bargain to offer
during fair week.

Boston's Night of Terror.

late tonight, killing two men and a
boy and wounding several others
An unidentified man was killed, a
woman shot and severely wounded

serious condition in the rioting in
the vicinity of Scollay square tonight.
4 Mob Still Uncontrolled.
The most serious disturbances we're
in the vicinity of Scollay square and
South Boston. Cavalrymen charged
the crowds, and machine gun was
used, one man being killed and sew
eral wounded by its fire. At late
hour the mob was still uncontrolled.
One Of the most serious elements in
the complicated outlook was the pos
sibility of sympathetic strikes by
labor unions which have declared
their support of the policemen's union
which is out on strike. Like the pa
trolmen's organization, most of these

Scollay square was thronged all
day and well into the night.
The crowd early became ritous
and cavalrymen were sent to disperse
it.
The mob surged in and out of the
square. Shots were fired, and an I'M
identified man was killed. A woman
was wounded in the arm, middle
aged volunteer policeman was so bad
ly beaten that he was removed to a
hospital, and three cavalrymen were
hit over the head by missels. After
infantry reenforcements arrived the
square was finally cleared.

SAYS B0RAH Will
QUIT POLITICS
SPOKANE DAILY MAKES An
NOUNCEMENT OF EVENT WITH
PROBABLE SUCCESSOR

United States Senator William E.
Borah Of Idaho will not be candidate
for reelection two years hence
His seat in the United States SEN
ate will be contested for by John r
Gray of Occur d'Alene
This is the news which reached
Spokane this week from Washington
D. C.
Senator Borah will retire to private
life and enter the practice of law
with one of the country's largest and
most influential law firms in New
York city.
That Senator Borah has decided not
to again try for a seat in the senate
and that he has definitely decided to
enter the private practice of law in
an effort to recoup financial losses
incident to years of public life is the
definite statement which has reached
Spokane politicians. 80
Attorney Gray of Coeur d'Alene,
one of the most widely knewn resi-
dents Of northern Idaho, is reported
as having decided to contest for the
vacancy created by the retirement of
Senator Borah.
Attorney Gray has been connected
with some of the largest mining iti-
cation in Montana and in the Coeur
d'Alenes. He is a former president
of the Idaho Bar association. He was
associated with Myron A.. Folsom as
counsel for the Bunker Hill & Sulli-
van for number of years.-Spokane
Chronicle.
The above story from the Spokane
Daily Chronicle has many inaccuracies
# there is any truth in the story at all.
In the first place Mr.. Borah's term Of
office does not expire in "two years"
as stated, but he has five and half
years yet to serve. He was elected
n November, 1918, for term of six
years, which will not expire until
March 4, 1925. That the trying on of l
Mr.. Borah's shoes by Attorney Gray,
If Occur d'Alene, is premature, hard
y needs to be mentioned. If Mr..
3orah serves his full term, as the
story indicates he intends to do, many
hings are likely to happen to upset
he plan announced above, before his
erm expires, but it is certain he will
mot be a candidate for reelection in
wo years" as at that time he will
till have four years of his term to
erve. The Chronicle political writer
las his dates badly mixed.

GOOD WILL AND ADVERTISING

ID. IL. AQdfHS, III iLSEi.e 50
In every competitive industry. there
lie a sort OF commercial law OF gravity
which tends to pull that industry
down to an improbable level. The
consumer possesses the power to deny
profit to any competitive business.
There is only one force which can
neutralize this commercial law OF

Perhaps the clearest proof Of this
law governing profit lies in the fact

where big business has succeeded in
making a profit commensurate with
its invested capital, there has been

The same kind of service has been

Perhaps the most common form Of
