Famous Grove Disappearing.

Mexican children gathering firewood
are slowly wiping out clump OF cot
tonwood trees northwest of Juarez,
Mex, across the Rio Grande from I'll
Paso, Tex, which has been known as
"Peace Grove" because it was there
that Gen. Francisco |. Madero agreed
to a series of armistices which preced-
ed the end of his revolution. Approx
mately % trees marked the historical
spot in 1911. Today, it is said, less
than half this number survive the raids
of the children sent to search for fuel.
The grove won its name In 1911 when
Madero led his troops against the
Juarez federal garrison, which re-
NAMED loyal to President POrfirio
Diaz. The commander of the garrison
and Madero arranged several armis-
tees under the trees of the grove.

DOG RECOGNIZED ITS HOME
Even at Sea, and at Some Distance,
Animal Knew Destroyer to
Which II Belonged.

Except for the serial numbers
painted boldly on the bow, most per-
sons have the greatest difficulty in
recognizing one of the 300 destroyers
in the United States navy from anoth-
err, but there is dog aboard the de-
stroyer Schenck No. 159 which seems
in this regard to have far more than
human intelligence.
This dOg-of no particular breed
has been aboard the Schenck for about
two years.
Officers aboard the Schenck are tell
In the story of how, not long ago,
when the vessel went from Pensacola
to Guantanamo, the dog was lost. he
could not be found when the time for
departure arrived, although the crew
had been searching the town for him
for almost two hours.
1t developed that the dog. after the
Schenck departed, reached another de-
stroyer and went TO sea with them.
During the voyage the two destroy
ers passed well out to sea. The dog
was on the bridge and barked so loud
ly that he attracted the attention OF
the Schenck.

Royalty in a Freight Yard.

Lieutenant Commander Hugo w.
Koehler in the Worlds Work says:
Our nearest neighbors in a squalid
out-freight yard where we took up
quarters in Novorossisk were the for
mer president of the Vladikavkaz rail
road, the best system in Russia, who,
with his children and grandchildren,
occupied one small coach. The Grand
Duchess Marie Pavlova with members
of her former suite and their families,
also had a single coach, while her son,
the Grand Duke Audrey, with his son
of oddly indefinite parentage and said
sons mother, famous ballerina in
her day, likewise lived for months in
a tiny railroad coach on the opposite
side of our mudhOle. The grand
duchess was a charming lady, nor did
the terror of her situation and the
utter squalor of our surroundings take
one whit from her delightful sense OF
humor and her quality of une grande
dame.

Beginning OF Storm

Beginning OF Storm
''The first indications came early in
1920-here and there a business or
manufacturing failure. They were
chiefly concerns manufacturing lux
uries or manufacturers of staple COM
modities that had organized during
the war and had not yet got footing.
People were ceasing to buy; firms OF
this character were first to go to the
wall Soon failure became more rem
eral. That meant something to us, 1t
raised question:: When will the coun
try curtail or cease buying staple COM
modities-when will they cease buy
ing Ford cars?
eve didn't have long to wait. BY
June sales were falling off at a great
rate Everything began to slow down.
Yet in the face of that do you think
the surpliers of raw materials would
cut their price or that labor would
give more for unparalleled Wages
Not for second. Material men de-
manded more and labor seemed to
give less and less Cost of manufac-
turing went soaring.

So, in September, we cut the price
of the car. On the face of thin"s
the cut wasn't justified. We still had
large supplies of stock bought at high
prices. The cut brought the price be-
low the cost of manufacture. All over
the country we were condemned; 9th
er manufacturers said we were crazy
But the whole country was on an IN
flated distorted basis and we felt that
if we cut the price of the car, we could
demand that material suppliers cut
their prices to us. That would tend
to stop the price raising orgy, other
prices would slumr off and the read
iustment would come with minimum
discomfort to everybody
"To an extent the cut brought tht
desired result. Sales took a bound.

soon, sales fell off again and, as {
whole, the artificial conditions con
tinued. We soon saw that more dras

"We made up our minds that ou1
next step toward lowering prices mus
be more powerful and decisive. Dur

of industry became general. But we

Oil as Leprosy Cure.

So successful has DR.. p. Hooper
been in the Fiji islands in the treat
ment of leprosy with chaulmoogra oil,
that he reports to the Journal of Trop-
icaI Medicine and Hygiene London)
that In the years 1918 and 1919 % pa
tlents were discharged on parole, OF
whom one returned, and he now has
six more apparently cured and ready
for discharge.
Doctor Hooper believes that all
cases of skin leprosy End some of the
nodular form can be cured by intra-
muscular injections of chaulmoogra
oil, cure or failure depending largely
upon how early the treatment begins.

ON THE TRAIL OF JOHN B.

Calling at n J. Richardson's lunch
and soft drink stand yesterday after
noon to discuss other topics District
Attorney Lynn H. Ashley became in
volved in a more momentous discus
sion than he had anticipated. Upon
the district attorneys arrival it is
rumored, the proprietor became opt
solicitous about guarding certain
bread box. Ashley became convinced
that it was his ,bounden duty to as
certain the contents of the box. In
the course Of maintaining contrary
views the box was dropped. A bot
tie which had been reposing therein
is alleged to have come in contact
with the ground with such force that
it was broken. Sheriff Larson was
called in by Ashley and enough OF
the contents of said bottle were saved
in a portion of the glass so that the
identity will probably be established.
The liquid it is believed, will give the
reaction of moonshine.
1t is expected that charges will be
preferred against Richardson, with
the view of giving him trial at New
Richmond. District ATTORNEY Ashley

A sharp-tongued. red-faced lawyer
was cross-examining a witness as to
his sobriety. "You were seem" he be-
gan, "entering the Spread Eagle as
soon as the doors were open or soon
afterward?"
"Yes," replied the witness, ''but not
to drink"
"What object had you in view then"
asked the lawyer.
"The only object had in view, sir.
as went in was yourself coming out"

0. H. SCHWARZ, PIONEER
TAILOR, SELLS BUSINESS

J. T. Croot, a recent arrival here
from Vancouver, Washington, has
purchased the tailoring business and
stock of H. o. Schwarz, pioneer tail
or, who has been confined to the hos
pital for the past six weeks because
of an attack of paralysis. Mr.. Croot
is an experienced merchant tailor and
will at once take charge of the busi-
ness at the old location, on Third
street. A little investigation con-
vinced him that Moscow was the best
city in the Inland Empire in which
to locate. Mr.. Schwarz' health is
gradually improving and he hopes to
be able to leave the hospital by
Thanksgiving. His condition is SUCH
however, that he does not consider it
advisable to again take up his work
at the bench. He has been engaged
in business in Moscow for some 80
eyars and his many friends will be
glad to know of his improved con-
dition, and that he expects to continue
to make tbs city his home.

GREAT BRITAIN'S
ACCEPTANCE SURE
HUGHES PROGRAM THOUGHT TO
BE GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE
TO ENGLAND AND JAPAN

WashingtOn-(By A. P)-Great
Britain's acceptance "in principle" Of
the American proposals for the imi-
tatiOn of naval armament, as it will
be laid before the conference tomor-
row, will be based on what is de-
scribed as certain definite modifica-
tions." Instead of the flat 10-year
naval holiday the British have in
mind replacement program carried
on from year to year, to keep the
shipyards from rotting, or to allow
each country one ship building plant.
They consider ninety thousand tons
of submarines too high as the British
navy never possessed that amount OF
submersables. 1t is said that Great
Britain may propose the abolition OF
submarines, or will work for the
limitation of their size and armament
They feel that the limitation for air.
plane carriers gives the United States
some advantage, because the British
already have a number which will
become obsolete, while the United
States will build new ones of superior
character.

that the conferred conference will be

the keynote of the first Japanese
comment on the Hughes
naval holiday proposal.
Washington-By A. P.)-Great
Britain's acceptance Gin principle of
the American proposals for the limi-
tation of naval armament, was deff-
nitely forecast today in a statement
on behalf of the British delegation.
Japanis acceptance 'in principle" at
least, has been forecast in statements
by Baron Admiral Kato and other
Japanese delepates. 1t is understood
hat Great Britain's principal con-
,ideration in framing a reply, which
3a1four will make at tomorrow's ses-
sion of the armament conference, has
)een the question of what is to be
lone to bring France and Italy with

t is understood that the American
delegates expressed the British with
he advisability of first disposing OF
he question as It affects the three

CAR DRIVER HAS NARROW
ESCAPE ON LEWISTON GRADE

1t has been learned that the new
Oakland automobile, which was found
Saturday morning lying wrecked at
the foot of the precipice near the top
of the Lewiston grade, belonged to
Pullman party H. w. Corneilson,
when returning to Moscow from
Lewiston, Saturday evening, en-
countered the owner of the car, who
was having it hauled up to the high
way again by the means of ropes and
a team The Pullman man informed
Mr.. Corneilson that he was driving
down the grade about 2 o'clock Sat
urday morning, alone, when he saw
flames shooting out from under the
car He was somewhat startled and
leaned over to investigate, momen-
tarily forgetting to steer the car. He
realized what was happening just as
the car was leaving the road, and
jumped for his life, escaping without
injury He considered it most fortu-
nate that he was alone, as it is prob
able that the fall would have been
fatal to anyone in the car.
The car is apparently almost a
total wreck, but the owner thought
that parts of it might be salvaged.
