MIR. AND MRS. s. E. HUTTON
TO LOCATE IN SEATTLE

The Star-Mirror is in receipt of a
letter from Mrs. S. E. Hutton, stating
that she and Mr.. Hutton are leaving
Cleveland, where they have been for
some months, and will spend the holi-
days in Boise, after which they will
go to Seattle, where they expect tc
locate permanently. Mr.. and Mrs
Hutton have been absent from the
northwest for several years and their
many Moscow friends will be glad to
learn that they are again coming
west, but will regret that they are
not to make Moscow their home again.
Mrs. Hutton writes that the busi-
ness depression, in the east, which
has been very serious, seems, in the
Cleveland territory, to be somewhat
alleviated. In spite of hard times, she
writes, all places Of amusement are
packed, no matter how high the ad-
mission charge. People stand IN the
most inclement weather for block af-
ter block, waiting to get into the
movies and even the high class con-
certs, for which tickets are still as
high as four dollars, draw crowds
that pack a huge auditorium.
Mrs Hutton writes that the year in
Cleveland has been enjoyed, but that
she and Mr.. Hutton will be glad to
live in the northwest again and hope
to be in Moscow in the late winter
or early spring.

daughter, Elsie, Freddie the hotel
clerk, Aloyisius, a bell hop, and Lu-

whose part is we'll taken and whose
real identity is being kept secret,

STUDENTS PLEASE
in THREE PLAYS
ONE-ACT PRODUCTIONS OF PLAY
PRODUCING CLASS WIN MUCH
APPROVAL.

Three one-act plays, "The Florist
Shop" 1.-TWO Crooks and Lady," and
Happiness" were given by the play
producing class under the direction
of Prof. John Cushman, in the univer-
sity auditorium Tuesday evening
Musical numbers were given by
campus talent before the PERFORM
ance, and between the plays. A fair
sized crowd, filling about half the
auditorium, was present.
All Parts Well Taken
All parts were very we'll taken. All
the plays contained strong character
parts, the plays being built on these
parts, rather than on the plots
The first play, sThe Florist Shop
was the story of a young woman who
worked in a florist shop, and her at
tempts to bring happiness to people
by means of flowers The climax came
when she completed romance of Is
years standing by means of a bunch
of orchids. The part of Maude, this
florist girl was successfully taken by
Elizabeth Council. Miss Wells, por-
trayed by Daphne Gowen, was an
other unusually strong part in the
play.
Students Show Ability
In 1.-TWO Crooks and Lady," the
second play on the program, Helen
Johnston took the exceedingly diff
cult part of Mrs. Sims-Vane, totally
paralized woman, in very success
full manner. Other excellent char
acters were Lucille, taken by Bethel
Collins, and Miller the Hawk, taken
by Paul Ellis
(. The last play, Happiness" was un-
doubtedly the best of the evening.
The plot was built around tired and
bored society woman, who found the
real meaning of happiness through a
little errand girl. Pearl Stalker
took the part of Mrs. Chrystal-Pole,
who had lost her ambition and happi-
ness, in a clever manner The most
part Of the play, that of Jen-
ME, the errand girl, was handled in
real professional manner by Goldie
FELTON,.
The play producing class plans to
put on another performance in Janu-
Try. This will consist of series of
original stunts, devised and presented

ASK WHEAT FOR
NEAR EAST RELIEF
\. F STURGIS IN CHARGE OF LA.
TAH COUNTY CAMPAIGN-RE-
PORTS FARMERS LIBERAL.

\ ~ F. Sturgis of Spokane, who is
now engaged III securing donations
of wheat for the Near East Relief,
has gone about that work in a busi-
ness-like way and is meeting with
great success, but says that it takes
salemanhip of higher degree TO get
the people to see as he sees, think as
he thinks and do as he would have
them do, than to see paint at the
present high prices.
AS Mr.. Sturges has had 20 years.
experience as a travelling salesman,
selling all over the United States and
Canada, and five years at training
men for that work, he brings a high
degree of efficiency to his present
vocation.
Mr.. Sturgis has just completed a
successful drive for food and cloth
ing for the unfortunates of the Near
East, and is now carrying on the
campaign for wheat, which has been
announced previously and which has
met with success in other Inland EN-
pire counties.
In speaking of his travels in the
Holy Land, in which he spent two
years, hiring out as an assistant
dragoman to take tourists about the
homes and ate with them when my
stomach would accept the bill of fare.
No words will ever tell a story ap-
proximating the misery which these
people suffer as the results of war
and ignorance 1t takes personal OBJ
servation and contact to reveal their
wretched condition.
Being a pharmacist, l carried drugs
to doctor their eyes. Eye soreness,
caused chiefly by bites of insects, is
prevalent. Many regard it sin to
brush away the insects. Leprosy is
everywhere. The Turks come down
and kill the parents and big brothers
and carry away the young women.
Those who refused to renounce Christ
and accept Mohammed were de-
The little children of five to 10
years are left to do for themselves or
die. Six sacks of wheat will keep
life in one of these children for one
year. Who could sell six sacks of
wheat for greater price,"
The committee for the county cam
paign is composed of E. r Headley
and A. j. Hendrickson, who will have
charge of the drive with the farmers
The plan for the campaign is that

farmers for grain, and when they
have listed each one of them indi-
Jidually for the number of sacks that
hey are willing to give, then W. A.
Lauder, who has charge of the city
md of the drive, will divide the town
nto sections, and ask the citizens to
urnish cash to buy wheat estimated
It 50 sack to equal the amount that

bout 600 sacks for the car and it is
heir desire to have the farmers give
bout one-half, or 800 sacks, and the
itizens donate cash to pay the other
lalf of the car or 800 sacks.
Mr. Sturges says that six sacks of
wheat will keep alive one of these
title orphans for an entire year, and

COAST STATES ADMIT
IDAHO ALFALFA MEAL

The ban on Idaho alfalfa, in Oregon
and Washington has been lifted anC
south Idaho farmers are now shipping
thousands of tons of alfalfa meal into
those states. Oregon agreed about a
week ago to admit alfalfa meal to that
state, and it is understood that there
is heavy demand just now in the
western part Of the state. Last Sat
urday Miles Cannon, state commits
sioner Of agriculture, received a tele-
gram from the quarantine officer of
the state Of Washington saying that
alfalfa meal would be admitted under
quarantine and certificate OF the
state Mr.. Cannon has given out the
announcement that he is now going
after California, in an effort to get
Idaho hay products admitted there.
This will afford big market for
Idaho alfalfa
For several years Idaho alfalfa
meal has been barred from the three
coast states because of weeyil, but
IdahO's state department has guaran-
teed to these states that the meal,
the process of making which kills all
insects will be kept free from contain
inatiOn, and under this pledge, the
coast states have decided to allow the
product to enter
The decision of Oregon and Wash
[ngton means much to Idaho farmers,
in the southern part OF the
state, where an immense quantity of
alfalfa is produced each year.
While there is not great deal of
lay for export in the northern part Of
he state, the decision OF Washington
makes possible shipment OF the
ground product into that state.

SPOKANE MINISTER
TELLS OF RUSSIA
DIR. S. L. DEVINE, NEAR EAST RE
LIEF CHAIRMAN, ADDRESSES
UNIVERSITY ASSEMBLY.

First hand information of the grue-
some terrorizing conditions of Soviet
Russia and the Near East was
brought to university students by DR.
Sherman l.. Devine, of Spokane
northwest chairman of the Near East
Relief, who this summer visited the
Near East.
Death Stalks Everywhere
death stalks everywhere in this
ravished land" said the speaker
Time after time I have seen dead
children lying in the streets of Rus
sian cities and the haunting thing of
it all is that they attracted no atten-
tion, it was so common Finally a
wagon would come and haul them off
for hasty burial.
"The government of Russia is
valueless, everyone is suspicious and
gradually coming to look for the
I dawn of new day. To get order in
this country, some leader will have to
spring up from the common people.
1t will take a generation to remake
Russia"
Russian Rubles Worthless
Though he is frugal man, so low
is the rate Of exchange that in the
Is days he was in Russia he spent
100000 rubles to obtain ordinary
daily necessities. A ruble note which
on a par exchange would be worth
$2500, now will not buy half a loaf
of bread
DR.. Devine brought back a quarter
of million rubles ($1.75 worth) as
souvenirs for his friends. He made
a donation of 1000 rubles to the
university library.
Hundreds of children are dying
each day from lack of food and cloth
ing 1t is not unusual to see these
little mites around looking for a bite
to eat with nothing but torn sack
to clothe their slight bodies, he said
Brings COlOrful Pictures
DR.. Devine brought a colorful pic
ture of conditions as he found them
in the Near East and in Russia He
held his university audience tense
with his well told story of the
Athens and Constan-
tinOple and with his vivid descrip-
OF conditions in "over crowded, hung
er-haunted Constantinople, the pearl
of the city of all the world"
