tion, composed of the editors and
publishers of all north Idaho news
papers, is to meet in Moscow on Fri
day, June 6, following the meeting
of north Idaho commercial clubs here
on Wednesday and Thursday, June 4
and 5. This announcement was made
at the meeting of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday. G. N. Lamphere,
president of the association, was
made a Committee of one" to ar
range program. Mr.. Lamphere did
not get home from his eastern trip
until last night and knew nothing of
this work until this morning. A pro-
gram will be arranged anad announc-
ed later 1t is expected there will be
a big attendance of newspapermen
and Moscow and the University of
Idaho will be asked to entertain them
royalty
At the chamber of commerce lunch
con yesterday there was good at
tendance, with more than 100 pres
ent, including a lot of delegates to the
Knights of Columbus convention, who
were invited to be guests of the
chamber. They were welcomed by
President Lindley and responses were
made by N. D. Wernette of Coeur
d'Alene, and George Erb of Boise.
Both of these speakers commended
the University of Idaho in the high
est terms and Mr.. Wernette declared
no mistake had been made in locat-
ing it at Moscow Mr.. Erb told of his
son and daughter, both educated here
and both making good" the son hav-
ing risen to a captain in the army
and the daughter holding response
BILE position in Boise, both due to the
training they had received here.
S. E. Hutton was another guest of
honor Sergeant Hutton has been
in the service of his country for about
16 months and is still held because
of the splendid work he has done in
the aircraft service. Sergeant Hut
ton made a very interesting talk,
carrying a rebuke for those who have
been criticising the administration
during and since the war. He said
that instead of being backward in its
work the United States had passed
all other nations. That when the
armistice was signed the United
States was completing 1000 airplanes
a day, although this country had been
in the war less than Is months, while
England, which had been in the war
four years, was completing but 80
planes a day. He said the United
States had leaped to first place in all
most every kind of war work.

,onnel of the committee will be an
nounced in few days.

lie to the University and later they

MOSCOW ENTITLED
TO LOWER FIRE RATES
SPLENDID RECORD OF VOLUN-
TEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
GROUNDS FOR REDUCTION

That Moscow is entitled to lower
fire insurance rates due to the splen-
did record of the Moscow volunteer
fire department is contended by those
conversant with conditions and a
united effort to secure reduction in
rates of insurance in Moscow is to
be made. 1t has been years since
Moscow has had a disasterous fire
and it is believed that it's record for
small fire losses covering a period
of several years has not been equal
ed by any city it's size in the north
west.
Last year the total losses from fire
in the city of nearly 5000 inhabitants
was only $3.50, record that is be-
year it was less than $500, which
was record at that time. The de-
partment made IS runs in the year
ending this month and three of these
were outside the city limits, being
made by the chemical engine, only.
Last night the annual meeting was
held and officers elected. Carl Smith
was reelected chief; William Russell,
first assistant chief; Jack Wilson,
second assistant; Frank Stanton,
secretary, and Joe decker, treasurer.
The annual report was read and the
general work connected with an an
nual meeting was carried out.
The department rendered vote OF
thanks to the citizens of Moscow,
the Mayor and council and the tele-
phone girls for assistance during the
year. ''These have all been very
good in helping the department and
we certainly wish to thank them, .
said Chief Smith.
There are six volunteer fire COM
panies in Moscow, with a total mem
bership of 66 men. Every one is
no one is paid and the
men have responded to every call
promptly
That a vote of thanks is due Chief
Smith and his splendid workers from
the citizens of Moscow, whose homes !

MOSCOW BOY PLEADS
FOR SUNDAY SHOWS
YOUNG MAN SERVING in THE
NAVY TELLS HIS EXPERIENCE
TO MOSCOW PEOPLE

The Star-Mirror is in receipt Of the
following letter from boy born anG
reared in Moscow, whose father was
one of the pioneers of this place anG
who is known to all of the people
here. His letter is so pertinent al
this time, when the question of Sun
day afternoon shows is regarded as a
paramount" issue, that we are vio-
lating our usual rules and publishing
the letter just as written, but withhold
his name at his request. His letter
gives the views of the boys and men
who have served their country and
what he says may be of interest here
1t will, at least, do no harm, we hope
and it is here published, just as writ
ten. 1t follows:

Editor Star Mirror, Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
My mother has sent me copies of
The Star Mirror from time to time
and in one of the late issues | find an
editorial concerning Sunday shows
in Moscow.
| was born and raised in the city of
Moscow and trained by my parents
to be a Christian, and no boy could
have had better training. There was
just one thing missing, something to
do Sunday afternoons and evenings.
Moscow is a small place and affords
,,+o o,,4
week, besides the evenings during the
week school duties have to be carried
out. No shows then. Oh yes there
was Friday and Saturday nights.
Now suppose there is two children
in the family one of school age the
other little. Helen goes to school
Friday and Friday night goes to a
show or party. Saturday nighs
comes and Dad says, "now Helen
you stay home tonight and take care
of little sister or brother as mother
and l want to do some shopping
and take in a show, you can go out
tomorrow" Very well, Helen, use
less to say, stays home Saturday
night. The next day is Sunday and in
the morning Helen goes to Sunday
school. Sunday afternoon she sits
in the house and reads book, Sun
day evening ditto. Very entertaining
for young person full of life.
Now place a boy in Helen's place.
Saturday night he stays home.
Sunday morning. goes to Sunday
school. Sunday afternoon what does
he do. Nine times out Of EVERY
ten goes swimming in some mud hole
or goes up to the park and listens and
tells smutty stories or sneaks around
into some old shack and smokes
Which is worse, swim

Baseball Game Saturday.

Lewiston and Moscow will play the
first baseball game of the season be-
tween these two teams at the fair
grounds in Moscow, Friday evening.
1t is expected to be a good game.
1t will begin at 4 o'clock. The stores
which close at noon will not open un-
til after the game, in fact will not
open at all Friday evening, so there
will be nothing to attract your atten-
grounds and encourage the boys with
and ball games here but you must
do your part if you have them. Let
US give the boys big crowd Friday
evening.

such a record as Moscow has had for
many years it is believed that lower
