Rev: T. Quincy Biggs, pastor of the
Christian church, was called to the
country to attend a patient, and went
in Mr.. Neely's taxicab They started
home early this morning but failing to
reach Moscow, Rev. Biggs telephoned
and learned that they had been gone
more than one and a half hours. He
became uneasy. and with Mr.. Nicely
started out In his car to find them.
They found the taxicab stuck in a
deep snow drift waiting for team
to come and pull them out, a mes
senger having been sent to nearby
farm house for team. The minister
tried to pull the big car out with his
Ford with the result that both cars
got stuck and the farmers team had
to pull both out. They got back to
town none the worse for their ex-
perience, neither car being hurt and
the occupants SUFFERING nothing worse
than getting well chilled.

FRENCH WAR POSTERS
TO BE SHOWN HERE.
MOSCOW PEOPLE TO HAVE OP-
PORTUNITY TO SEE UNIVER-
SITY'S COLLECTION

The University of Idaho library ha:
collection of war posters numbering
about four hundred and including
some from Greece, Brazil, Canada
Australia and France. Yes, and ons
very CORY Red Cross one from China
More than a hundred have recently
come from Paris and it is planned to
give the people of Moscow an oppor-
tunlty to see this collection now
The university was fortunate in Sc
curing many of the posters which
have attracted wide attention in neu-
trail and allied countries and which
] have been reproduced in the news
papers and magazines. You are prob
ably familiar with some of the de-
signs but the black and white re-
productions give only a faint idea
OF the real Quality of the posters
! themselves; e. 6. Faivre's "On les
aura" showing the gay and dashing
po1lu charging as he looks back and
shouts We'll get them" MANY
critics have said that this is the best
poster of the entire war made in any
country. High praise surely. An
other very effective one shows the
kaiser bent under the sweep of the
oncoming flags of the allied world.
This artist-Abel Faivre-has con
trlbuted at least three or four others
OF almost equal merit
August Leroux has done some very
telling work. Perhaps his best is
the one showing French soldier lift
ing high lovely boy as he bids good
bye to his family, the mother and
Tiny baby being delicately drawn at
the right; but you might like better,
his beautiful women of Alsace and
Lorraine. The strength and deter
mlnatlon of the soldier strangling the
German eagle speaks eloquently Of
the work of M. Falter.
But we can not mention all of the |
excellent ones nor all of the great |
artists of France, suffice it to say
that, so far as France is concerned, |
the story of the war is told in these |
posters and there is should be read.
through the kindness and generous
cooperation of Mr.. Samm the exhibit

the building on the corner of First
and Main streets which building Mr..
Samm is soon to occupy. The dates
Will be announced later. Because of
the limited space and the large num-
Der OF posters to be displayed, the
exhibit will be changed at stated in
Iervals. Enjoyment of the posters

SERIOUS FACTS HERE-HELP
CHANGE THEM

it should in the past. All Red Cross
workers of all services-all Americans
whose brand of patriotism does not
fade in peace-time, whose colors are
fast-can help in town and country

law, lately emphasized in the graphic
way by Secretary Franklin X. Lane Of
the department of the interior in call
ing attention to the national confer
ence on Americanization which Is now
holding meetings in Washington.
Here are n few of the serious facts
which all true Americans will work
hard to correct:
Four hundred thousand of the frst
100000 drafted men-one-fourth of
them-could not speak English. They
could not even sign the payroll.
Military orders issued at Camp Up
tou. N. Y, had to be translated into
40 languages.
The census report of 1910 which said
there were 100000 natives illiterates
in the United States was sadly over
Swallowed by figures on illiteracy in the
draft army.
Every large American city has It's
foreign colony, and in these communi-
ties conditions are just as foreign as
those the aliens left behind.

gators found small foreign colony In
the city of New York which receives
it's news from a "village crier"
