LOCAL RED CROSS
DOING GOOD WORK
RECEIPTS FROM ANNUAL ROLL
CALL WILL AID CHILDREN TO
HEALTH AND USEFULNESS.

Plans for the Red Cross Roll Cal
in Latah county, according to FREQ
Veatch chairman, are to complete the
county chairman, are to complete the
work in one week, beginning next
Saturday, November 49, In Moscow
committees will visit the people, at
their places of business, or at their
homes, and give them an opportunity
to renew their membership for the
next year. The sum of one dollar is
all that is asked of anyone, and it is
believed that the present member
ship roll will be increased, rather
than decreased.
The money secured from the annual
roll call is badly needed in Moscow
and in Latah county. There is a great
humanitarian work to do at all times,
and the funds in charge of the Mos
COW chapter, according to Mr.. Veatch,
are always at work Just now $2,400
of local Red Cross money is being
used to aid vocational students who
are attending the university, The
Star-Mirror is informed by Mr.
Veatch. The money is advanced to
boys who come here without funds
and who must have financial aid un-
til their compensation from the gov
ernment arrives, which is sometimes
d. month or six weeks. The money
that the local Red Cross had on hand
has been wonderful boon to these
deserving boys.
Another thing for which money will
be needed-the coming year will be the
of a public health nurse
in the county Latah is one of the
counties that has been slow in taking
up the public health nurse matter,
and with the knowledge of the ex-
cellent work done elsewhere, it would
be unreasonable to longer delay Mr.
Veatch states that cases have come
under his personal observation where
a public health nurse might work
wonders. He told The Star-Mirror
representative of seeing two small
children near Moscow, who, he be-
lieved, will be practically blind with
in a few years, at most, if they are
not given attention Evidently the
parents were unable to do anything
for them, and there is no public Of
'icia1 whose duty it is to have them
Jared for. IA case such as this would
1t once be taken up by the public |
health nurse.
The people of Moscow are asked to
Keep in mind the good which is being
ind will be accomplished with the
Red Cross funds and, where it is
within their means, to renew their
membership in the organization.

MOSCOW CO. SHIPS WHITE
PINE TO match FACTORY

Not little of the white pine used
by the Diamond Match company al
their Spokane factory was furnished
by the Munro Lumber company of
this city Alex. Munro of the local
company informs The Mirror
that 100000 feet of white pine was
cut at the mill near Avon during the
season for use in the match factory
The timber is cut into plank two and
one-eighth inches thick and any
width or length, although the length
is unusually 16 feet. The sawmill is
located at the mica mines near Avon,
where Mr. Munro owns a body of
timber. The lumber is hauled to the
Washington-Idaho & Mantana rail-
road for shipment.
The lumber business generally has
been quiet with the Inland Empire
companies, but the contract to fur
nish match timber has resulted in the
Munro Lumber company having a
fairly busy seson. Mr.. Munro states
that the company still has consider
able match stock to ship from the
mill and good sized stock of other
lumber at Vassar for shipment.

Directed VERDICT
Wins FOR DR.. Helm
NO RECOVERY ALLOWED MELVIN
ODELL-SUIT AGAINST MARK P.
MILLER COMPANY STARTS

Under instructions of Judge Frank
S. Dietrich for a directed verdict the
jury in federal court late Tuesday at
ternoon returned verdict for the de-
fendant in the case of Melvin Odell
versus Dr. e. T. Helm of Palouse
Odell sought damages of $4,000 for
personal injuries alleged to have been
caused by the alleged malpractice of
DR.. Helm while treating Odell for in
juries.
Odell suffered broken hip while
employed by the Potlatch Lumber
company of which DR.. Helm is physic-
ian. The directed verdict came after

that Odell had already received com
pensation for his injuries from the
state insurance fund through the
Workmens' Compensation act. Ac-
cording to the provisions of the law
one who has received compensation
through the state cannot recover
against third party, or DR.. e. T.
Helm as it was In this case.
The trial Of the case occupied the
better part of Monday and Tuesday.
Immediately following the conclusion
of this case jury was impanneled in
the case of Chatterton and Sons, a
Michigan corporation, versus the M.
P. Miller Milling company of Moscow.
Plaintiff seeks a recovery of $4,000,
alleged to have been the damage for
the alleged failure Of the defendant
to furnish the plaintiff carload Of
beans, as specified in a contract
claimed to have been made between
the two corporations. A number of
depositions were read Wednesday
morning and afternoon and the at
torneys for the plaintiff were expect
ed to close their case Wednesday af-
ternoon. The attorneys for the de-
fense will oDen their case Thursday
morning and the case will probably
go to the jury Thursday afternoon.
