Lewiston Show A Fine One
Professor G. w. Hickman, head of
the animal husbandry department cf
the University of Idaho, is at Lewis
ton with the stock this week. He
wrote from Lewiston, Mon lay:
Lewiston has the biggest and best
livestock show ever held here. It is
a wonderful exhibit in all depart
ments. Every one interested in agri-
culture and livestock should avail
themselves of this splendid oppor
tunity to see this great livestock
show.
Should Go Via Johnson
'We drove down, coming via Union
town, but the new road is very bad.
The best way to drive down is via
johnson. This is a fine road and
automobiles can made it nicely by GO
ing that way.
s'The judging will be done Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The Short
horn sale will be held Wednesday
afternoon at 1 o'clock and the Here
ford sale at p. m. Thursday. Tell

CHARLES +. RAYBURN
HAS NEW INVENTION
MOSCOW YOUNG MAN INVENTS
NEW EXCAVATING MACHINE
THAT is A SUCCESS.

Two models of new excavating
machine on display in the window of
The Togs shop attract much atten-
tion and speculation. The machines
shown are two excavating machines,
the inventions of Charles F. Rayburn,
of Moscow, which have been "tried
and not found wanting" and for
which he hopes to organize a com
pany for their manufacture. The pos
sibilities of the invention are many.
1t is believed they could be used in
Latah county for road building and
save an enormous expense to the tax
payers.
Six of the machines have been
made and are in use. One firm at
Roy, in western Washington, has two
of them. Another firm at Seattle has
been using one of the machines for
several months and writes in the
highest terms of it's. The machines

THE BREEDING OF SKUNKS

WASHINGTON-(By A. P.0-
Breeding of skunks as a means of
stabilizing the depressed fur mar
ket" is the latest suggestion of the
Department of Agriculture.
Despite all the harsh things that
have been said about this lowly ami
NAL, the department describes him as
the best wild animal friend the far
mer has" The skunk the announce
ment says, can be used for destroy
ing mice, grasshoppers, crickets, and
white grubs, at the same time fur
nishing the farmer from $50 to $100
worth of fur a year.
All that is required of the farmer
the circular says, is that he respect
the animals dens, keep his poultry in
skunkproof yards. kill an old horse
for them every fall and be tactful
when he meets them in the evening""

FOOT BALL TEAM
OFF TO BOISE TODAY
COACH KELLEY'S MEN LEFT
THIS MORNING FOR BOISE
TO MEET UTAH TEAM.

Realizing that it will meet one of
the strongest teams in the intermoun-
tain country, the university football
team left at 8:45 this morning for
Boise where they will meet the Uni
versity of Utah Armistice Day.
Nineteen men, Coach Kelley, stu
dent manager of athletics, A. j.
Priest, and some 25 or 80 students
make up the Idaho delegation. Yell
masters Creelman and Turner are in
the south coaching high schools in
varsity yells.
The 16piece university "pep" band
is now in Boise and for the past few
days has been playing in various
towns, advertising the game. Re
ports from Boise continue to forecast
a record breaking crowd. Alumni
from every section are arriving in
Boise and by Thursday the capitol
city will be crowded with university
rooters.
Nothing has been left undone by
the alumni committee in charge.
Some 10 or Is high school football
teams will be on the side lines, as
guests of the university club of Boise,
closely observing Coach Kelley's style
of football. Several high schools in
towns close to Boise will attend en-
masse, wearing Idaho colors and fol
lowing the Idaho cheer leaders. For
those who are not intimately ac-
quainted with the game, an announc-
er will call every play, who made it,
the yardage gained, and all details.
In this way many people observing
gridiron contest for the first time
will get the same enjoyment as those
who have followed it for years.

are of two different makes, one be-
! ing Mr.. Rayburn's invention in 1918
and the other his improved invention
; of 1920 with triple action.
| The machines are wonderful i'm
provement on the steam shovel which
has been regarded as the most rapid
means of moving earth or rock, and
have many advantages over the steam
shovel. They can work under as well
as above water, and one of these
buckets, operating on it's slack cable
drag line can cover on area of 1000
feet in diameter and the dirt can be
dumped any place within that area.
1t is perated by one man and can be
operated very cheaply, while its work
is more rapid than any machine yet
invented for this kind of work, as it
can handle anywhere from 45 to 100
yards of earth or rock in an hour.
Mr.. Rayburn got his original idea
from working with a steam shovel,
which he did for IL years, and he saw
where an improvement could be made
He made this improvement and got
patent on it in 1918 and it proved
original patent in many ways with
Illo CI1Hlc dCCIOIl IudCIllIl0 anu LuOSO
who understand such machinery and
the work it can do, believe that there
is wonderful future for the ma
chine and that it is destined to come
into general use and be the means
of saving an enormous amount in the
of dirt. It is believed that
one of these machines would save it's
cost in two weeks in operating on
highway building in this section.
Moscow citizens are invited to in
spect the working models at The Togs
store and Investigate this invention,
which may be manufactured in Mos
COW if the proper encouragement is
given.
The new machines are soon to be
installed at the Bell Implement Com
pany's store on Main street, where
they can be seen in operation and
better idea of their work can be gain |
ed. Any one Interested is invited to
call and see them work. It is believed
that these machines may revolution
re highway building in the north
west and save millions of dollars to
The taxpayers by doing more work I
and doing it cheaper than the present

GERMAN OFFICERS
ARE IN HARD LUCK
COMMANDERS OF FORMER GER
MAN EMPEROR'S ARMIES RE-
DUCED TO POVERTY.

BERLIN-(By A. P.)-Many OF
the $4,000 former German officers
discharged since the signing of the
armistice have joined the great army
of unemployed in Germany, few
have gone to work at hard labor and
others are trying to make small pen
sions pay for the expensive neces-
saries of mereexistence.
Officers belonging to old, aristo-
cratic, once wealthy families are IN no
better situation than their comrades
who relied for living upon their
army pay. They have long since dis
posed of most of their personal prop
erty and it is not uncommon to see
one of them suppressing his pride,
and offering to some foreigner
a family heirloom for enough money
to pay grocery bill.
Those who are doing hard labor
must work half day for the price of
Z pound of meat and all day for
pound of butter A number of them
have been unable to buy civilian clo-
thes and are working in uniforms
thin and frayed by much war.
The wives and sisters of some OF
these men have gone into the shops
where they earn $50 marks a month,
q sum which guest at any one of the
international hotels frequently pays

have been hard hit. Day and night

Inter den Linden one night saw a

collected for him he accepted it and
thanked the donors.
