DO you know my dearies.
Why Christmas came today
This Is the blessed DAY
Tha, Christ was born.
Down in a little manger
4 little baby lay
His hair Of golden yellow
Upon a bed o. hay.
And now you know. my darlings.
How this day did come.
To make the children happy
And deaf with bugle and drum.
Down in lonely valley.
The Holy Shepherds
Were looking at little star.
Up in the shy so clear.
They had seen an Angel.
What a story she had told them
~ the dear little babe.
In the town Of Bethlehem.
And every since that night.
The Holy Angels sing.
The sky is shining bright,
All around with music ring.
Now don't forget. my darlings.
Why Christmas came today.
So be sure and keep II holy.
II your bed is made Of hay.

"A Compliment To My
Old Kentucky
Home"

Oh land Of the vcrdant Blue Grass
How proud am of thee;
How fine thy scenes are in their class,
They look so grand to me
But not alone for thy fine scenes.
love thy land TO roam.
Thou hast a dcarcr charm for me
Thou are my native home
Thy streams flow with beauty and
wealth.
Yes. unequaled they be.
Thy hills and wales bloom with health
And are so grand TO see.
But not for thy grand mountain
scenes.
Nor for thine azure dome.
But just naturally love thee.
Ny old Kentucky home.
And you have prouder glorics TOO
Than nature ever gave;
Peace sheds DER thee its genial dew.
And freedoms banners wave.
Charity plays noble part.
Religion lifts its dome.
These things endear thee to my
heart.
My own loved native home.
The Lord 70 thee great wonders gave.
Thou hast streams under ground.
A mos, wonderful Mammoth Cave
And marble cliffs found.
And the finest horses it's true.
Will be found in thy zone,
And most lovable women too.
Are in my native home.
You produce fine hogs and cattle.
Yes, and other things more:
Have many good mules as chattle.
And fine horses galore.
You raise fine wheat and also corn.
But not these crops alone.
For tobacco too looms up strong
At the Kentucky home.
May Gods best gifts to man be thine
God bless thy handsome girls.
Like rare flowers they sweetly shine !:
Their hearts are pure as pearls.
Yes, and grace and virtues crown
them
Where'er their footsteps roam.
How can then whilst loving them.
Not love my native home!
! have visited other climes
Beloved Of tale and song;
Have stood on hills, proud and sub
lime.
Where natures wonders throng;
Yes, by beautiful sunsit streams
Where honored men did roam,
But have not seen land so fair
As my old Kentucky home.
Land Of the Blue Grass. best Of all
Here Is wishing you wealth:
Now and forever and for all
May you be blest with health.
May no dark dissensions' banners
Ever wave DER thy loan.
But should IL come. | pray the Lord
May guard my native home.

Fayetteville, Sept. 22.-Psychologi- cal tests, to determine the fitness of students over 25 years of age who have never finished high school to enter the university as regular students are be- ing held today. These tests form 6 decidedly new departure in the matter Of university requirements. Former ", all who wished to take up regular ly university courses could do so only by presenting a minimum number of high school credits for entrance, but the authorities believe that many older stuG ents, denied admission under the old plan, are fully capable of pursuing regular college work.

SCHOOL ENROLMENT
ABOVE 1000 MARK
MOSCOW SCHOOLS MOVE OFF
FIRST DAY LIKE A WELL
OILED MACHINE.

The total enrolment in the Moscow
public schools on the opening day of
school, according to a statement given
by Superintendent Phi. Soulen was
! 1000. OF this number $50 were in
the grades and $50 in the high school.
There were 70 little tots in the pri-
mary room in the high school build
ing. 1t is expected that the enroll
ment will be increased considerably
during tn next two weeks as num-
ber of young people, principally boys,
are still busy on the farms and will
enter school when the harvest work
is completed
Within a half hour after the school
bell rang opening the schools Monday
morning, every class in the Irving and
Whitworth buildings was under way
and without any confusion the pupils
were adjusting themselves to new
classes and new teachers. Much of
this orderliness is due to the coopera-
tion of parents with the superintend-
ent. There are hundreds of pupils
not quite fitted for their particular
class and thousands of adjustments
must be made. This requires time.
'sIn few days many of these little
details will have been Strengthened
out stated Superintendent Soulen to
The Star Mirror. parents have gen
orally shown a fine spirit, trusting
to the judgment and fairmindedness
of those selected to teach their chill
dren, in the matter of placement of
children. Teachers who have such an
expression of confidence will do their
level best to give everybody square
deal
"All indications point to a record
enrolment in both grades and high
school, Though $50 were enrolled in
the high school last week, solid
stream of new applicants has kept
Principal Gale and assistants busy.
In the high school two classes began
Monday and today all classes are
holding regular sessions. Delayed
registrations will make some diff
Guilty, for pupils will be expected to be
on the job and push forward just as
fast as thoroughness permits. Their
coming late may therefore encounter
some difficulty in catching up with
classes"

DIVORCE PETITION
CITES USE OF HAMMER
COUNTY AUDITOR MAY JOIN A
CROWD TO STANDPOINT FOR
COMMISSIONERS RALLY.

According to the bill of particulars
in divorce petition filed in district
court Tuesday morning by Attorney
John Nisbet on behalf of Minnie
Dresher OF Genesee, against her hus-
band John L. Dresher, the latter was
in the habit of taking up hammer
and beating her with it. This oc-
Cured, she says in her petition, on
August %. False accusations, abuse,
and bad treatment so that she was
obliged to leave him, are cited. She
asks restraining order to forbid
him interfering with her, and the
Lots IL and IL, Genesee, and the
custody of the children, May, aged
13, Thomas, aged 10, Adeline, aged
8; and Frances, aged 2, as well as
temporary alimony, the costs of the
suit, and attorneys fees.
Homer E. Estes, county auditor,
received notice of the meeting of the
county commissioners association
which is scheduled for Standpoint,
September 30 In this connection B.
+. Hyatt, of the state bureau of pub
lie accounts, informs the county
auditor that meeting may be called
of the county auditors at that time
for the purpose of matters and meth
DDS of accounting, and to thresh out
questions common to auditor work in
all Idaho counties. 1t is not known
whether or not the county auditors of
the state can comply, as there is no
fund to pay their expenses. 1t is said
no provision had been made by law to
provide for the expenses Of the trip.
Last year a meeting was held at
Boise. The auditors had to pay their
own expenses on that occasion.
All the improvements on the south
side Of the court house have been
completed. The new garage is meet
ing the neds Of tn county officials,
and for visitors to the court house.
The making up of reports for Aug
ust is ingaging the attentino Of all
of the court house with
the exception of the assessor and his
assistant who are busy on ak sched-
ules.

MRS. SARGENT OF U. OF l. FAC
GUILTY SIGNALLY HONORED
IN MEXICO.

To sit at the honor table with
President Obregon of Mexico and .ea1
from the silver plate of Maximilan l..

Mrs M. L. Sargent, professor OF re
nance languages of the University
of Idaho, who has just returned from
Mexico city, where she studied at the
University of Mexico
Mrs. Sargent stood as one of three
an the receiving line at a reception in

pee, the national castle, the other
members of the trio being President
Obregon and President Vasconcelos OF

lie. The occasion was a reception to
American professors who were study
ing at the university.
mo one ever has been received in
this hall before but kings, ambasso-
doris and state dignitaries," said
Presiden Obregon, but Mexico never
has been more honored than by its
present guests
The visitors were privileged to go
down in an elevator into a 350foot
shaft leading to underground retreats
constructed by the Aztecs, which
customarily are closed to every one.
One of Mrs. Sargents most priced
mementos of the summer is an auto
graph letter from President Obregon,
in which he expressed regret at his
inability to attend a dinner given by
the American professors to the pro-
fessors of the Mexican institution.
Mrs. Sargent presided at this dinner.
.The message was elegantly sent. !"

by President Obregon's adjutant, who
wore white trousers, black riding
boots, green coat and top hat
This dinner was given in the palm
room of the Hotel Geneve of Mexico
City. At the dinner given by Presi-
dent Obregon at Capultepec, not only
Maximilan's solid silver plate but al
so his porcelain and crystal goblets
were used.
Mrs. Sargent brought back with her
four diplomas, certifying to her sum-
mer's work in Spanish literature,
comparative philology and other sub
jects. She was advanced to a full
professorship in the University OF
Idaho this year.

EXCEPTIONAL RUSH
At UNION ELEVATORS
HEAVY RECORDS FOLLOW THE
MARK PUBLISHED=FORC
ARE KEPT MOVING.

While the normal capacity of the
Farmers Union Warehouse amounts
to 10000 bushels, it was learned
yesterday that following the big day
when 10000 bushels were taken in,
the office and warehouse forces have
been going at a rushing speed noting
and receiving 10000 on an average
for a week and that des pite slack
ness at the elevator at times, the ca
pacity has been kept up on this aver
age.
The teamsters bringing in the
sacks of wheat have been lining up
day after day The arrangements
have been so perfected however that
very little delays have occurred in
transferring the golden grian to the
warehouses. The piles of sacks have
been marked indexes of the heavy
yields hits season. The quality bar
ring smut here and there has kept
up, according to Manager George
Sievers. The wheat on the average
has gone No. l.
I'VE are showing that co-opera-
tion in handling the grain has paid,
said the manager to a Star Mirror
man. I'VE have done some shipping
already where we have been enabled
to sell, and movements of wheat
have begun with the railroads look
ing after the cars. OF course many
are holding their wheat for the rise
that is anticipated. But the rank
and file has certainly kept us rush
ing storing this wheat. 1t is expected
that this rush will continue until
Saturday next, and maybe some days
afterwards But the majority are on
the last laps for threshing. We are
certainly satisfied with the business
done"
Manager SEWERS also stated that
the Racine and Titan machines had
done good work this season, and had
given satisfaction to the management
of the Farmers Union Warehouse pa
irons. The operations with these ma
chimes have been closely watched

SUIT FOR RESTITUTION
ENDS IN VERDICT FOR KING

In case before Justice NJ w.
Griffith yesterday in which John
King, represented by Orland and Lee,
was the plaintiff, and T. B. Brown,
represented by Morgan and Keane,
was the defendant, it took jury of
six men on the cause for restitution
Of the plaintiffs premises by the de-
fendant, to render verdict in favor
of the plaintiff.
For the plaintiff, John King, it was
shown that he let his premises to the
defendant, T. B. Brown for an in
determinate period. Brown was to
improve property and get his pay
back on the rental of $40 month.
If King sold the property, the testi-
mony showed, Brown was to vacate
plaintiff.
The testimony further showed that
King did sell his property, that he
gave Brown time to vacate by July
81, and that on his failure to vacate
the suit was brought. The jury on
considerat tion of the law and the evil
dence returned verdict in favor of
King as stated.

ENGLISH SPEAKING
IS THEME FOR HILL
RECOGNITION OF ONENESS A
FEATURE OF HISTORY-THE
SATISFYING PEACE.

Blaine, Wash.-(By A. P)-Recog-
milton of "the oneness of the English
speaking race" was marked in the
dedication of the peace portal here to-
day commemorating 100 years OF
peace between Great Britain and the
United States. Samuel Hill, who
presided over the exercises, said wal
satisfies neither the victors nor the
vanquished Perfect peace alone
satisfies. The instincts of human
kind have not been changed by educa-
tion and only slightly modified by re-
ligion When war holds sway there is
no religion The dominant thought
not the most widely accepted religion
made its way by non-resistance. AL
great movements must so proceed II
they are destined to prevail.
The ceremony in which we take
part today marks the recognition OF
the oneness of the English speaking
race, and its friendship not alone fOl
the white race but it's earnest desire
to be at peace with all the world.
France and England lived together
in harmony in Canada The United
States and Canada, side by side Tor
three thousand miles, wish for no
better neighbOr. Belgium sought as
mutual friend by the United States
and Great Britain one hundred years
ago still holds the friendship, the af-
lection of both. Old things have
passed away.
Science has laid bare the most
hidden parts of the world and across
and under the seas, over vast con-
tinents, and thru the air the human
voice is daily heard. May not ex-
press that where science, the arts
and religion have failed to control
the passions of men, that that still
small voice which spoke to Socrates,
Plato, SavanOrela, and the Otner
wise men of old to the, red men or
the plains, and in the forest of North
America, to the Burist and Otisk OF
Siberia, which / felt rather tnan
heard in the vatican at Rome, and In
the shrine at Nikko, may forshadoW
a deeper spiritual life"

WOMAN PROVES WORK
ON A SECTION ENTRY
MRS. ALICE DEGROF SHOWS UP
AN ENDEAVOR BY HUSBAND.
"A HUMAN INTEREST STORY.

A story of human interest regard
ing the work done by homesteader
came before U. S. Land Commissioner
H. r. Smith at his office. Tuesday
Tha there are homesteaders who do
not go to work and improve as urged
by the secretary of the interior in his
rules and regulations on the subject,
goes without saying but in this par
ticular case George De Grof made a
homestead entry in September, 1917
on the northwest quarter of Section
IA, N. R. 1, E. B. M. and as the evil
dence showed before the commission
er lived up to the rules and regula-
tions of the U. S. land office
He was no slouch as he saying
goes, but remained on his homestead
claim with the exception of one
weeks absence and set about to i'm
prove his entry and cultivate the land
for crops. He had wife and ten
children, and his aim and motive was
to establish a home and property for
them He worked early and late un-
til the time of his death February II,
1920. His widow with all those
charges on her hands, Alice De Grof,
took up the problem where he left it,
and worked and cultivated this quar-
ter section of 160 acres.
She worked with her children who
could help in part until the time came
for the proving up of this homestead,
September 1, 1921 The evidence be-
fore Commissioner Smith showed
that the deceased homesteader had
remained on and cultivated his claim
with the intent to make it his home
and for his wife and children, as few
homesteaders had done. 1t was also
evidenced that his wife and widow had
continued the work so nobly begun by
him.
The proving up was established and
the claim admitted by Commissioner
Smith. The hearing was full of in
terest and pathos. Uncle Sam how
ever never forgets the widow and her
children. She won the homestead by
endeavor in the sight of much mis-
fortune, and the commissioner was
fully satisfied that the claim had
been established.
