ANOTHER DEATH
FROM INFLUENZA
SMALL CHILD VICTIM-FAMILY
HAS HAD TWELVE MEMBERS
DOWN WITH THE FLU

Johnny L. Greear, aged five years
last August, died last night, making
the third death in Moscow from in
fluenza. The case is a peculiarly sad
one. Both parents are very sick with
the disease and will not be able to
attend the funeral of their child. 1t
is reported that II members of the
family have had the disease.
The child is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
James Greear, living in the south
eastern part of town. He has been
sick for three weeks. The entire
family has been sick and the grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. David Greear,
of Troy, came to assist in caring for
the sick and they were also taken
down with the disease.
A sister, Mrs. Fred Gray, went to
help and she and her children have
had the disease. Several of these are
still quite i'll and both Mr.. and Mrs.
Greear are very sick, their condition
causing much alarm.
Neighbors have been very kind in
assisting to care for the sick folks
and are doing all in their power to
relieve the suffering and see that
the sick lack nothing essential to
their comfort or welfare.
The funeral will be held at 10
o'clock tomorrow forenoon. There
will be brief services at the cemetery,
only.

AMERICAN LEGION
COMMANDERS TO MEET
IMPORTANT MEETING TO BE
HELD FEBRUARY 9 TO DIS
CUSS LEGISLATION

A conference of department com
manders of the American Legion will
be held at national headquarters on
February ninth for the purpose of
discussing legislation embodying the
military policy Of the American Le-
gion recommended by the national
convention in Minneapolis. The rec
concentrations of the Legion have al
ready been presented to the resepct-
i've committees of the senate and
house of representatives by the mill
tary policy committee and national
legislative committee Of the Ameri-
can Legion, and are contained sub
stantially in the recommendations of
the Senate committee on military af-
fairs, of which Senator Wadsworth is
chairman.
The purpose of the conference on
February ninth will be to consider
this bill specifically and finally, to
recommend any changes desired and
also to inform the Legion, through
the department commanders, of the
provisions of the bill, so that if the
conference SO determines, the entire
organization may lend it's support to
the passage of the bill in congress.
In letter to department com
manders on this subject, Franklin
D'Oiler, national commander of the
Legion, says:
The Importance of this conference
cannot be too strongly stressed. Each
department should be represented at
this conference by the best available
member from that department, who is
able and willing to be present in
Indianapolis on February Ninth.
'The practical difficulties to be
overcome, in legislative way, are 10
great that satisfactory results can
only be secured through that spirit
OF cooperation and compromise char
acteristic of all deliberations of the
American Legion. Great progress
has already been made by the Mill
tary policy committee of the Ameri-
can Legion in having it's recommend
ations embodied in this bill.
However, it will require the full
and enthusiastic support of the entire
Legion to secure for our country that
proper legislation which will train
our young men to become good citi-
zens and at the same time provide an
organized citizen army and navy
upon which the country may call jim
time of national need.
ut is, therefore, urged that you
Immediately notify national head
quarters, if you have not already
done SO, just who will represent your
department at this conference, stat
ing what time he expects to reach
Indianapolis. Each department
should certainly be represented to the
end that its representative may ex-
plain fully the result of this confer
ence, to the end that the department
may actively support the decision ar
rived at as result of this confer
,ence."

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN
TELLS OF PALOUSE
LATAH COUNTY FARMER HAS EX-
TENDED WRITE-UP IN AGRI-
CULTURAL MAGAZINE

This weeks issue of The Country
Gentleman contains very interesting
article entitled, ga Pioneer Farmer
in the Palouse," by e. V. Wilcox. we'll
known western writer. The article
tells of John L. Naylor, pioneer of La
tab county, whose big farm lies few
miles from Moscow, and who is among
the best known of Latah county pio-
neerS.
The article covers one entire page,
in the center of which is a large pic
ture of Mr.. MAYORS combined harves-
ter at work in one of his fields and in
the background the rolling hills of the
Palouse country are plainly shown,
and parts of two other pages. On the
second page is very good picture OF
Mr.. Naylor and on the third page of
the article are pictures of his two
sons, Roy A. and J. Ralph Naylor.
The article deals Interestingly in
the early history of the Palouse coun-
try, the struggles of the pioneers to
subdue the land and make it prOduc-
tive, while making living by work
ing in saw mills or at other labor
that could be secured at that time.
Mr.. Naylor tells of working in a saw
mill and taking lumber for his wages
and trading the lumber to a man for
breaking sod on his homestead. He
tells of raising flax in the early days
and hauling it to Almota, on the Snake
river, where it was shipped to San
Francisco by boat, and of the rejoic-
ing when the railroad was built to
Colfax and they only had to haul their
wheat and other farm products %
miles. The article is well written,
very~--interesting and is good
advertisement for the Palouse coun-
try.

n several communities in the Coun-

in several communities in the Coun-
ty.
To this end we respectfully re-
quest that the ministers of the
churches of the county, the Sunday
School superintendent and Sunday
School teachers bring out especially
the duties of good citizenship on
Sunday, January 18th, 1921, in the
regular Sunday School and church
services for that day. Such services
will aid very much in causing the
people to observe the laws against
the violation of the Sabbath, the
laws against Intoxicating liquors,
against furnishing or selling cigar
cites to minors, against excessive
speeding of automobiles on the high
ways and streets, and against the
carrying of concealed weapons. We
believe each community can handle
its own problems along this line by
forming, where necessary, some or
ganization of the good citizens with
an openly avowed purpose and de-
termination of enforcing the law.
Where person inclined to violate
the law knows that majority of the
good citizens will see to it that he
is indicted and punished for such vi
olation, he will usually refrain from
the violation of the law to any great
extent.
We desire to express our appre-
citation of the Court, the Sheriff, his
Deputies, and all other County of
ficers who have worked with us so
cordially.
