SPECTACULAR EVENTS
WILL ALL Be FREE
FAIR COMMITTEE DETERMINED
I TO PROVIDE PLENTY OF EN-
. TERTAINMENT FOR PUBLIC

If there is any fear in the minds
of the public that there will be any
thing lacking in the way of entertain
ing features during the Harvest Fes-
tival planned for September 16 to 20
inclusive, that fear would be entirely
dissipated by a glance at the plans
mittee. 1t is hoped to engage two
carnival companies, one to do bust
ness up town and one on the Fair
grounds. There will be horse racing.
Ii possible a string of high class rae
ing horses will be brought here It
is also planned to bring about 200
fast Indian ponies with their riders,
and they will put on all sorts of nov
city and pony races. If it can be ar
ranged the Nez Perce and other In
dians will put on big Pow Wow.
One of the most amusing features will
be mule races.
A meeting has been called for Mon
day evening at 7:30 o'clock, of
the finance and general committees.
At this time the report of those SOL
letting funds, C.~B. Green, Homer
David and Harry Whittier, will be
made, and they will tell in detail
what success they have had in getting
support for the enterprise from the
local merchants. The general COM
mittee is composed of G. A. Hagan,
F. A. David, Ray Carter, A. L. Ran
som, and County Agent Fletcher. They
will discuss the program and outline
other committees so that all the work
may be parceled out at this time
Those who were disappointed dur
ing the Fourth of July celebration be-
cause there were not more free events
staged on the streets, will have moth
ing to complain of in that respect
during the Harvest Festival. Many
free and spectacular events are
guaranteed by the committee, and an
effort will be made to entertain the
public all the time.

.BOWERY DANCE
POORLY ATTENDED
COMPARATIVELY FEW PERSONS
ENJOYED THE BENEFIT DANCE
LAST NIGHT

Although the evening was most de-
lightful and the music by the Mann
brothers orchestra as full of pep as
ever, the attendance at the Bowery
dance last night was not as large as
on any previous occasion. Usually
the floor fills we'll by 10 o'clock, but
the number dancing last night was
small throughout the evening. Those
who were present, however, enjoyed
the affair very much.
James Keane ,as floor manager, was
in his usual genial mood and made
every one happy to hand over a ticket
for the benefit of the Latah county
post of the American Legion.
1t is hoped that on next Friday eve
ming good crowd of representative
citizens will make an effort to show
their appreciation of good floor, good
music, and the very worthy Legion.

CAR INSPECTORS
join LIST OF STRIKERS
Los ANGELES SCENE OF GREAT
PARADE WHICH BLOCKS STREET
CAR TRAFFIC

LOS ANGELES.-(By the Associated
Press. .)-Five hundred car inspectors
employed by the Southern Pacific have
joined the ranks of the strikers.
Meeting at the yards at the usual time
for starting to work, they paraded
thence through the business districts,
six abreast. They effectually blocked
all street car traffic. When motor
men of the Los Angeles railway COM
pany, which is also under strike con-
ditions, attempted to run the cars
through the parade, the men wedged
together, halting the cars for some
time, just as the morning rush to work
was in progress.
The Southern Pacific announced
that because of strike conditions, all
trains from the city would be annulled
for the time being.

'WR|TENOL0vELETTERS
GIVE NO INTERVIEWS
ANY STATEMENT REGARDING
LABOR TROUBLES

Senator Jerome j. Day, who had the
misfortune some ten days ago to suf-
fer very severe and painful injury to
his foot when he was playing tennis
on the concrete court at his summer
home, The Pines, is spending his en-
| forced vacation at his residence on
| Van Buren and A streets. Since the
X-ray examination revealed two ser
iOus sprains and two bones slightly in
jured the senator does not anticipate
being able to walk without crutcheS
for at least another fortnight. He
is taking the opportunity during his
unexpected vacation of enjoying the
use of his splendid library to which
he has recently made some valuable
and beautiful additions. Perhaps the
most complete private library in the
state is that in the Day home, and the
Senator is constantly engaged in sup
plementing his fine collection by
choice works in the line of history and
biography.
When questioned by a StarMirror
reporter with reference to the labor
situation not only in the Occur
d'Alenes but throughout the United
States, the senator proved extremely
He declined to state
whether he considered that we are on
the eve of great industrial revolu-
ton that will assume distressing pro-
portions and characteristics.
There is one bit of advice that
received long. ago and that l follow
scrupulously," declared the senator
with just the suggestion Of a twinkle
in his eye. "It is, Never write love
letters, and never give interviews If
these two practices were always OBJ
served, the world would be missing a
whole lot of trouble that now dis
turbs it,
In other words. although Senator
Day is probably as well posted on in
duStrial and economic conditions as
any man in the northwest, he steadily
refuses to adopt the popular pose of
the man with message and di- |
verts the interviewer by displaying a |
choice new set of autobiographies in
4 subscription edition limited to a
hundred copies for private distribu
ion throughout the country.
With reference to forest fires, Sen
ltor Day stated that he believed rain
would now be the only remedy for the
crave situation that prevails through
tut Idaho forests, He said that tele-
,hone messages from Wallace receiv- =
d here yesterday indicated that condi-
ions in the immediate vicinity of Wal
ace seemed to be improving.
Speaking of the very costly and un-
Ontrollable top of crown fires, Sen
tor Day recalled the paper sent in to
he forestry service by a graduate of
he University of Idaho who was tax
lg the civil service examination for
he position of ranger Asked what
1easures he would adopt to check a
op or crown fire, the young man, who

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation Of Danderine you can not find q
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not Itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at flrst-yes--but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with DAN
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing--your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-

Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug

PINCHON DEMANDS SECURITY
Ideals Which Sustained France During
War Guide People On the Eve
of Peace.

OF Peace.
Paris.-Stephen Pinchon, the for.
eign minister, said to the Associated
Press:
you asked me in what spirit the
French government Is preparing to
participate in the peace negotiations.
1t is agreeable and easy for me to re-
ply that the ideal which sustained us
during the war Is guiding US effectively
on the eve of peace. This defines our
policy.
1--WE have been attacked. We want
security. We have been despoiled;
we demand restitution. We have been
devastated; we want PREPARATION.
"But that which we ask for ourselves
we demand for all, and hence are
closely in accord with President Will
son. We intend that peace, in erasing
the effects Of the German crime, shall
bring to all peoples the certainty that
this crime will not be renewed"
M Pinchon, while apparently greatly
fatigued from the 18-hour session in
the chamber of deputies. made these
statements with great energy.
'1n order to achieve this" he con.
tinued, "the world must be constituted
on new basis. The basic points you
know, President Wilson has express
ed them; we have adhered to them"

Business men, educators and public
officials from the IL districts who will

comed to conference here by Secre,
tary Glass, with request that they
press their work on the basis that the
war will not be over until the United
States has met its every commitment,
"The firing Of guns has ceased and
we are all OF us confident this will not
be renewed" Mr.. Glass said. "We have
every reason to believe the president
is going to impress himself upon the
European statesmen that his views
will prevail and that we shall have a
league of peace which will not endan,

''The war Is not over so far as the
treasury department is concerned. Two
