CAPTAIN FELKER
HIGHLY COMMENDED
PRESIDENT LINDLEY PRAISES
HEAD OF MILITARY DEPART
MENT OF THE u.

High praise was given Captain
Felker, commandant at the University
of Idaho by President Lindley before
he left for Baltimore yesterday. Presi-
dent Lindley says that to Captain
Felker, more than to any other indi-
vidual, is due the success of the S. A.
T. C. and the splendid reputation the
University of Idaho won with the
military authorities and the depart
ment of education for soldiers. To
The Star Mirror, President Lindley
made this statement:
captain Felker's great ability
saved the S. A. T. c. situation for the
University of Idaho. Captain Felker
cooperated with the academic authori-
ties in every way. Had it not been
for this fine spirit, there is no doubt
that the University would have suf-
fered more from the influenza situa-
tion than it did
Captain Felker won the respect
and affection of both the officers and
the men. His fine military manner,
and the true humanity of his spirit
were able to make success of stu
alton that was a dismal failure in
other universities"
With the discharge of the S. A. t.
G. men, the R. o. 7. G. is automatic
ally installed in the university under
the direction of Captain Felker. The
exact number of the men who will
comprise the R. 0. 7. c. is not known,
but every freshman and sophomore in
the university will be required to take
this training. .-...- -..--
President Lindley, who left yester-
day to attend meeting of the presi-
dents and deans of agricultural col
leges said:
IT am glad to leave the military
department in the hands of Captain
Felker. He has fully demonstrated
his ability to handle much larged
tasks. The university was extremely
fortunate to have so able command
er at this time"

MEXICO EXPECTS
YANKEE INVASION
OFFICIAL OF OUR SOUTHERN
NEIGHBOR THINKS SOLDIERS
WANT HOMES THERE

Ell PASO, Texas-American troops
veterans of the French front, are ex-
pected to invade Mexico when they
come home from Europe and have
participated in welcome receptions
and have visited their relatives. This
will not mean a military invasion but
will be peaceful occupation by for
mer soldiers seeking homes and for
tunes in the rich mineralized and
farming districts of the republic.
Hardships incident to pioneering in
Mexico are not expected to have any
terrors for the American soldiers af-
ter what they have experienced in
France. Neither will the incidental
danger of bandit raids and robberies
frighten the men who went through
Chateau Thierry The love of adven-
ture which was developed in the fight
ing men in France will draw the Am
ericans to Mexico.
All of which is the opinion of An
dreas Garcia, Mexican consul general
here.
He says their smatterings of French
will help them to learn French bet
ter and their experience in the hos
pitable homes of France will make
them more eager to become acquaint-
ed with the equally hospitable Mexi-
can people and to learn their Ian
guage and ways.
The consul general predicts heavy
increase in immigration from the
United States to Mexico after the SOL
diers return. He says this country Of
fers little or no land to the returning
soldiers as did Kansas, Nebraska and
California to the soldiers returning
from the Civil war But there is land
enough for everyone seeking it in
Mexico, he says, and Mexicans will
welcome the hard working, energetic
and ambitious American fighting men
who wish to settle in Mexico and make
fortunes for themselves.

IDAHO POTATOES
IN GREAT DEMAND
PLANNING FOR THIS YEARS
CROP-CANYON COUNTY TO
WAR ON SPARROWS

CALDWELL, Idaho.-In order to
guarantee a good market for pota-
toes in 1919 potato growers in Can
yon county are now making arrange
ments for selling their product of
next fall.
Early in August is said to be the
best time for market, as eastern rails
ers do not have their product ready
for shipment then and accordingly
there are plenty of cars for shipping
on hand then.
Farmers now have the question be-
fore them of raising either wheat or
potatoes. Those in touch with the
situation believe that the central
states will raise wheat to a large ex-
tent, and consequently the western
men should plant potatoes.
Contracts are now being made by
growers for their 1919 crop at good
price The railroad has guaranteed
good supply of cars and has also Of
fered to make up special quick
transit train for every 25 carloads of
potatoes.
Eastern buyers who have bought
Idaho potatoes are pleased with them
and are writing now for the 1919 crop
and offering to contract for it.
A campaign will soon be started by
the Canyon county farm bureau
against English sparrows, which are
serious menace to crops in this
county. Crops are damaged every
year by these pests and grain is even
being wasted by them after it has
been put up in granaries if the build
ings are not carefully constructed.
w A. Crouch of the biological sur
vey will be with the farm bureau to
assist in demonstrations. The work
will be carried on by the Canyon
county farm bureau under Assistant
County Agent Oman and Mr.. Crouch.
Community leaders will also be
used in the work, having charge of
the campaign in their section of the
county.
Accoring to Mr.. Oman, now is the
proper time to start against sparrows
for at this time of the year there is
a scarcity of food for sparrows and
consequently they will more readily
take the bait given them.

ALIEN SLACKERS
TO Be DISCHARGED
IDAHO LAW FORBIDS CORPORA
TIONS EMPLOYING ALIENS.
MINING FIRMS ACT

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 3.-Idaho is
to be no home for foreign-born men
who gave up their citizenship papers
in preference to entering the war for
the United States. Following close
upon the announcement that Atlas Tie
company of Occur d'Alene was barr
ing all such men from it's employment
comes the announcement that mining
companies, the Blackwell Lumber
company and other concerns are noti-
flying everyone concerned that these
slackers cannot be employed in their
plants. Many former employees have
been discharged as soon as it was
learned that they had renounced citi-
zenship.
In Shoshone county officials are
prepared to proceed under the Idaho
statutes, which provides that no. pri-
vate corporations may employ for
eigner who has not first declared his

Fire Does Small Damage.

The fire alarm, which sounded last
night at 10 o'clock, was call to the
home of Chas. Summerfield, where a
toy gasoline engine started the flame
which caught a curtain and some
Christmas decorations. Mrs. Sum-
merfield showed great presence of
mind in rolling up the curtain to ex-
tinguish the flame and the nelghbors
assisted by gathering up the unflam-
mable articles. So no great damage
was done. The fire department, as
usual. was there in short order, to
assist. but their help was not needed

VISITS MOSCOW
DEPUTY FOR NORTHERN IDAHO
SETTLES DISPUTE ABOUT
GRADING OF HAY

eff northern Idaho had had the crop
that Latah county had last year we
would have thought ourselves well
off, said Charles Waggoner, of Post
Falls, north Idaho deputy for the
farm markets bureau, who was Wis
itor to Moscow today. Mr.. Waggoner
came to settle disputes about the
grade of hay shipped from southern
to northern Idaho and sold to farm
ers here who bought the hay to feed
their stock. There was disagreement
as to the grade of several cars. Mr..
Waggoner settled this today and re-
turned to his home at Post Falls.
"My business has largely been the
settling Of such disputes for the past
several weeks" said Mr.. Waggoner.
"More than $50 carloads of hay have
been shipped from southern to north
ern Idaho and there have been num-

Mr.. Waggoner is a pioneer of north

pleasure to meet. He has gift, bled

FRENCH ORPHAN CLUB
RECEIVES LETTERS
MOSCOW GIRLS WHO RAISED
MONEY TO ADOPT FRENCH
ORPHANS GET THANKS

A number of Moscow young girls
conceived the idea last summer of
adopting" as many French orphans
as they could care for. An agreement
has been made by the French govern
ment to give 10 cents day for each
French child whose father was killed
in the war if similar sum will be
contributed by others. This means
20 cents day for the maintenance
and education of child whose father
died in the war The Moscow girls
raised enough to "adopt" three or
phans. Miss Victoria Wallace is
treasurer of the club and has re-
ceived the following letters from the,
orphans or their mothers.
The money to care for these or
phans was raised in various ways, by
selling medals, and cards, by "tag"
day and by the girls crarying an i'm
mense flag in the memorial day
parade, the public being asked to
throw money into the flag. A neat
sum was raised in this way. Three
letters received in acknowledgment of
the money sent to France, are here
given:

sincerely for your last money order
the fourth which | received from you.
I have not been able to answer sooner
because my eldest daughter is sick
and had to stay in bed for one month.
She is a little better now, although
very weak.
As for myself and for my other
children, our health is very good. In
their name and in my own, | present
to you, dear benefactress, my deep
gratitude Wishing you excellent
health. Thanks and gratitude,

Grand Fort-Phillippe, II Nov, 1918.
Dear Benefactress: permit my
self to send you my deepest gratitude
for the aid which you were kind
enough to give me. My mother is
very glad to be able to meet the ex-
penses which my education demands.
1 cannot, alas! help her yet, but l
continue to attend school and my sue
cesses in my school work is a great
consolation for her.
The day that I write my letters,
dear benefactress, is the day of JOY
because the armistice has been signed,
but how many armies have fallen. 1t
is a great day and a great JOY for
those who are still living, but for US 1t
is wretched poverty at the end of the
war. Happily America is still here
to take pity on the orphans, but my
poor, dear father blesses from on high
the hand which generously aids our
sufferings.
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I thank you, and we re-
main very grateful to you. Please ac-
cept the sincerest thanks of my fam
ily and the thanks of your protege.

kindness to send for my daughter,

help and the interest which you give
me. In the distress in which the war
has left US, it is a great comfort for

which are interested in our m1sfor-
tunes.
NV little daughter adds her thanks
to mine and we beg you, dear Miss,
to receive our respectful greetings.
