VARSITY TAKES
PoTLATCH GAMES
Easily Clean Up in Two Rough Games
Good Workout For
Squad.

The Idaho Varsity five opened the
1920 season by winning two games
from the Potlatch Athletic Club, 49,
20 and 1919, last Friday and Satur-
day nights in the Potlatch gymna-
SUM. The Potlatch floor is small with
the baskets against the WALL and the
officiating was exceedingly poor. Both
games were, in consequence, rough
and tumble throughout, and the Van
dals had little opportunity to develop
a speedy offensive.
The Potlatch five included several
old college stars. Idaho lined up with
Fox and Hunter at forwards, Perrine
at center, and Carder and Lindley at
guards. All of the second string men
were given chance in at least one
game
Fox, playing his first game In
varsity suit, proved strong defensive
man and speedy floor worker. Carder
played consistent game at guard.
Hunter led the scoring for Idaho with
six field goals in each game.
The principal Potlatch luminaries
were Clutch" Leuschel, old Idaho
player, and Holman, fast guard.

$4,000 TO RED CROSS.
Winneshiek Chapter Sent That
Amount i'm Last Week.

The following letter was received
by the Winneshiek County Chapter
of the American Red Cross, relative
to the $4,000 sent from the Winnie
shiek branch last week. The letter is
from Central Division headquarters,
Chicago.
"Will you please accept our very
sincere appreciation of your splendid
gift of $4,000. This will be applied
to the national fund in the CONFLICT
ion of our war obligations. I believe
we can safely assure you that no
other community within this division
has been more generous than the
people of Winneshiek county. Your
chapter has distinguished itself and
stands pre-eminent in that respect.
While we feel that no words of ours
could add to the pleasure the good
people of your community must feel
in their beneficial contributions, they
would be particularly gratified in the
Fart they are playing, if they could
read the distressing news that comes
to us from overseas.
Major Davis of the Red Cross
Commission for Europe writes: mo
words can describe the appalling
misery of the famished people and
that a keen sense of the gravity of
the situation demands the use of
funds on a generous scale. The pitt
able sufferings are beyond words to
describe"
This division is very deeply in
debted to you.
Besides the $4,000 sent the chapter
sent $500 to the Armenian Near
East Relief and $500 was sent to the
same place by the Junior Red Gross.
Besides the above amount so far
expended is $4,000. which includes
money which has been donated by
the Pig Club.

Mrs. Mary Louise Conover Dead.

Mrs. Mary Louise Conover Dead.
Last Friday night at nine o'clock
death claimed one of Decorah's be-
loved mothers, Mrs. Mary Louise
Conover. The deceased had suffered
paralytic stroke the Monday pre-
vious to her death.
The deceased's maiden name was
Mary Bigelow and she was born July
%, 1841, at Lebanon, Connecticut
She came to Iowa in 1855 with her
parents, settling in Allamakee coun-
ty, where she was married to F. E.
Conover in 1857. The husband was a
native of New York. About three
years after their marriage they NOV
ed to New York for a short time, and
came back to Allamakee county,
where they resumed farming. Ill
health of Mr.. Conover again caused
them to return to New York where
they remained until May 1871, when
they came back and located in Win
iSohlCh SOuhlg, operating ldi III
on the Yellow river near Moneek,
until 1895, when they disposed of
the same and removed to. Frankville,
where they lived until 1906, when
they came to DEBORAH to live. The
husband passed away seven years
ago. They had enjoyed a long life
together a span of fifty-siX years.
Two children were born to the
union, DR.. F. w. Conover, of 'De-
corah and DR.. j. F. Conover. of Cal
mar, and they have the sympathy of
many in their loss.
Mrs. Conover was a woman pos
sessed of high qualities OF mind and
character and she was beloved by all.
Her death not only brings sorrow to
the bereaved children, but to many
friends as we'll.
The funeral services were held
yesterday. Tuesday afternoon at 2: 80
from her late residence on Washing
ton street. DR.. NJ. Willett officiated
and interment was in Phelps ceme-
terry.

Skinned Horses Back Home.

Andrew Anderson shipped a car of
horses out of DEBORAH two weeks ago
and sent them on their way to New
York. The car was in charge OF
Clarence Heath. and it only got as
far as Savannah, where it was tied
Up, on account of the switchman's
strike in Chicago. The horses were
unloaded at Savannah and kept in
the stockyards until Saturday when
they were shipped back to DEBORAH.
Mr.. Anderson spent several days in
Savannah last week looking after the
horses. The strike is on way to a
settlement now and the horses will
probably be sent on their way again
soon.

FIXED SUM URGED
T0SAI GERMANY
French Envoy Recommends
Reparation Action Sought
by Teutons.

PARIS. October (by the Associated
Press).-Germany has reiterated her
request for the naming of a definite
sum Of reparations, and a new pro-
posal has been brought from Berlin
to Paris this week by Charles Lau-
rent, French ambassador to Germany.
The correspondent learned this to-
day in German official circles. where
it also was pointed out that NJ Lau-
rent had emphasized the necessity
of Immediately fixing the total in
demnity to prevent the economic and
political collapse of Germany.
The French government, it now is
believed in German circles, is consid-
ering the latest request, and a deci-
sion is expected within a few days.
The German proposal also asks di-
rect negotiations between Germany
and France on all reparatioE ques-
tions.
Recent proposals relative to repa-
rations made to France by Germany
are about the same as those present
ed at the Spa conference, according to
a statement made by Georges Leygues.
premier, to the Petit Parisien.
The newspaper remarks:
Germany is trying to bring us back
to the project of Hugo SHINES. Ger
man industrial magnate, which con-
sisted in an effort to coloniZe north
ern France with a real army of Ger
man workers under pretext of re-
the devastated regions.
The plan contemplated the ruin of
French industry by great invasion
of the products of German factories"

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. october 8 Cby
the Associated Press).-The federal
reserve bank IL not an institution
for lending money to farmers in order
that they may hold their crops for
higher prices. said W. P. G. Harding.
president Of the board Of governors
of that institution. in a statement
here today.
Mr.. Harding arrived in Birming-
ham. with d. c. Wills, newly ap-
pointed member Of the Federal Re-
serve Board. for meeting Of di-
fectors of the Atlanta Reserve Bank.
His statement was made in reply
TO questions concerning the move
ment among southern planters to hold
their cotton for 40 cents a pound.
He explained that the federal reserve
system was not established to assist
plans for holding commodities off the
market, nor is 1t at the disposal OF
speculative enterprises organized to
advance private interests.
Mr. Harding stated the best plan
he could suggest for encouragement
OF the cotton industry in the south
would be the formation by the plant
ers Of q cotton exporting company.
which could supply the markets OF
Europe directly.

CESJINDAY NOV IA,
DESIGNATED BY PRESIDENT
Executive Order Calls for Display fan Flags
at Half Mast as a Memorial to the
american Dead in Late War.

Of the suggestion that has been made
that I take this occasion to express
publicly my approval of the idea.
November II, 1918, will always be
memorable as the beginning of the
end of the most terrible and destruc-
tive of all wars. Our beloved country
took a noble part in Fastening the
arrival of the day hailed by the whole
world as the dawn of peace; but close
upon the day of victory followed the
realization of loss, and the anniver-
sary will bring with it solemn
thoughts to the mind of every Ameri-
can, memories of brave men who fell.
sympathy for their living relatives
and those religious reflections in
which nations, like individuals, must
seek hope and consolation.
THAT November IA, this year. being
the Sunday Immediately following the
anniversary should be observed in all
our churches by suitable memorial
services for the heroic American sol
diers, sailors and marines who gave
their lives to their country in the
world war seems to me eminently fit->
ting and proper, and 1 commend the
suggestion to those who conduct such
services.
'T shall direct the flag of the United
States at all military posts. naval sta
tions and vessels and on buildings Of
the United States to be displayed at
half mast on that day as a token of
the nations participation in the ex-
ercises elsewhere held"
