MOSCOW VISITED BY
THIEVES LAST NIGHT

Some time during last night life
size cut-out of Fatty Arbuckle dis
appeared from in front of the Liberty
Theatre and it is presumed he was
stolen, but it may be that on account
of his being so full of pep in the
picture he is now showing in THE
LIFE OF THE PARTY" that he is
simply wandering around Moscow t.
work off some of his surplus energy
and anyone who can give information
leading to his return to the theatre
will be suitably rewarded, us tonight
is his last appearance in the best pic
ure he has ever shown in. He makes
his debut as a star in full length
comedy drama, is vamped by 3 pretty
siren, is stranded by drunken driver
when returning home from party
dressed in children's rompers, and
runs for mayor The picture was adj
apted from one of Irwin CObb's
humorous novelties that ran in the
Saturday Evening Post. THE LIFE
OF THE PARTY kept a capacity
house in continual roar Of laughter
last night, and will be repeated for
the last time tonight Pathe News
gives an entertaining reel Of current
events, and Hoot Gibson in two
reel Western rounds out a bill that
pleases all who witness the show.

Mays in years. During the first IL
days of May but 17-100 of an inch ol
rain fell, but during the third week

new record While May 1920, was un-
usually wet, with total precipita-
ton of 2.72 inches the same month

PLATTSBURG CAMP
FOR IDAHO CADETS
ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR SUM-
MER VACATION TRAINING AT
CAMP LEWIS, WASH

Tacoma, Wash.-( (SpeciaD = Plans
for the first annual "Plattsburg'
camp for Idaho men between the ages
of 16 and 80 years, to be held at Camp
Lewis near here from July to Aug
ust 6, are rapidly being completed by
1t. Col. W. H. Clendenin, 47th Infan-
try, in charge of the preliminary
work.
The camp will be open to men free
of all charges, the government paying
travelling expenses to and from camp,
while all uniforms, equipment, food,
medical attention and other essentials
will be provided by the government,
student-soldiers
There will be three courses, the
red course for those who have had no
military; the white course for those
training; the white course for those
who have had military training and
who wish to train to become speci-
allsts~ or on-commissioned officers,
and the blue course, which will pro-
vide advance training for warrant
officers and n-commissioned Off
GERS of the National Guard, organized
reserves, and former service men.
The red course will be suitable for
Boy Scouts and others of a like age
and who are interested in military
and outdoor life. The white course is
a step toward the blue course the
latter in reality being an opportunity
for men to learn the fundamentals
which will quality them for an ex-
animation for appointment in the Of
f1cers' reserve corps. Certificates
showing the men have qualified for
each course will be given to those
who successfully complete any of the
three prescribed courses
This training will be along the
same lines as those followed in the
original Plattsburg camps" Col.
Clendenin declared, "and after gradu-
atlng from the final or blue course,
the candidate will be in line to take
the reserve corps examination for
commission as second lieutenant"

FRENCH'S TWO BILLS
TO Be CONSIDERED
PENSIONS FOR INDIAN WAR VET
ERANS AND HOMESTEAD
LAWS ARE ADVANCED.

Washington-( Especial to The Star
Mirror) Hearings were neld today
before the House Committee on Pen
sions relative to the pensioning OF
Indian War Veterans whose records
are not complete in the War Depart
ment-members Of the western dele
CATION appearing in the interest OF
the veterans.
There are several bills pending, in
cluding Representative French's
measures, H. R. so and H. R. el
which provides the acceptance OF al
fidavits and evidence from comrades
or from two persons having personal
knowledge of the service.
It is believed as result of the actl-
vities of members interested that a
bill will be reported soon from tie
features of several bills, but pro-
yiding relief for Indian war veterans
who are now unable to establish rec
ord of their service and eligibility to
receive pension.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
ELECTS OFFICERS
ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS PIE.
NORMALLY LOW FIRE LOSSES
IN CITY LAST YEAR.

The Moscow Volunteer Fire De
partment held it's annual election and
heard it's annual report at meeting
held in the office of Carl Smith, fire
chief, last night. The report is an
encouraging one for Moscow prop
erty owners, for it shows a fire loss
of less than so cents per capita in
Moscow during 1920, which makes the
third consecutive year that the loss
by fire in Moscow has been below 81
per capita. Members of the Pullman
fire department met with the Mos
cow department last night and stated
that the fire loss in Pullman for the
year was more than $50 per capita.
The report of Fire Chief Smith
showed total loss of 81 900 in Mos
COW from May 16, 1920 to May 23,
1921. Moscow's population is given
by the federal census as 1886, which
makes the loss less than SO cents for
each inhabitant and every cent of this
was covered by insurance which was
paid, so there was really no less to
Moscow property owners.
Carl Smith was reelected chief
with Babe" Carter, first assistant and
j. W. Wilson, second assistant; G. ".
Schbrack, department secretary; and
Joseph Decker treasurer for the floral
fund.
The department plans to have an
annual picnic, and annual banquet and
an annual decoration or memorial
day. Many members of the depart
ment have died since the first de-
partment was organized here 80 years
ago, and it is planned to decorate the
graves of these each year. Chief
Smith will appoint committees to ar
range for each of these days, authority
having been given him to do this at
last nights meeting.
Chief Smith suggested last night
that the entire city be organized to
prevent fires and to have regular in
spection of buildings. The sugges-
ton met with approval and it is plan
ned to divide the city into six dis
tricts, one for each of the six COM
panies and to make "house-to
house" canvass to solicit the coopera-
ton of property owners in the fire
prevention campaign and to insure in
spection Of all buildings
Several short speeches were made
by members, some of whom have be-
longed to the various companies for
more than quarter of a century.
The need of a new and more power
full truck was discussed and the sug-
gestion made that Chief Smith ap-
point committee to meet with the
city council to urge the need of pur-
chasing better equipment. This will
be done in the near future, the chief
announced today.

.PROE|TEER|NG IN
PRODUCTS or FARM
EVIDENCE THAT SOME ONE is
GETTING RICH BETWEEN PRO-
DUCER AND CONSUMER

An article published in the Grail
way Age Of April %, 1921, contains
the following information:
April 16 farmers in Texas received
81 per ton for cabbage. The cost OF
transporting the cabbage by rail in
cluding icing the refrigerator car and
payment of the federal tax from ship
ping point to Chicago, distance of
1900 miles, was $2630 Thus the
cabbage delivered in Chicago stood
the commission merchant $3.50, or
l67 cents a pound but cabbage re-
tailed at that time in the windy city
for7 cents a pound There was profit
somewhere
On the same date Texas producers
got S42 a ton for white onions, freight
charge to Chicago was $29.64 a ton
making the cost to the commission
man 3.5S cents pound. Right then
tne consumers had to pay 10 cents a
pound for the same vegetable in Chi
cago. Looks like profit.
On the same date the Texan who
produced spinach received S. ton
Tor his crop. 1t cost 30.36 a ton TO
send the stuff to Chicago by rail.
Inus laid down in Chicago the
spinach cost LIT cents a pound but
the man who wanted bite of spinach
for dinner had to pay Is cents a
pound for it in the markets at that
very time. Who got the profit that
was made between the producer and
the consumer?

IDAHO QuARANT|NEs
CALIFORNIA SPUDS
TEXAS AND FLORIDA POTATOES
ALSO BARRED FROM THIS
STATE OR ALL TIME.

Lewiston, Idaho-(SpeciaD- The
new potatoes now being offered fol-
sale to consumers in Idaho must be
taken from the market if they have
been brought into the state from
California, Texas or Florida or have
been reshipped from Oregon, Wash
ington, Montana, Colorado or Utah.
The California, Texas and Florida po-
tatoes are quarantined for all time
because of the Potato Tuber moth
that has infested the potato fields OF
those states and is ruinous to the po-
tato industry wherever it establishes
itself. The quarantine against Ore
gon Montana, Washington, Colorado
and Utah is to prevent reshipment
from these states into Idaho and is
not intended to keep out the potatoes
grown in these states as such pota-
toes will be admitted when accom-
panied by a certificate by an author
lied Inspector setting forth that the
potatoes were grown in the state in
which the shipment originated.
The above is the summary of in
structions received at the Lewiston
office of the State Department of
Agriculture from w. H. Wicks, state
director of. the bureau of plant in
dustry, in the Boise office of the
state department. Mr. Wicks made a
canvass of the potato growing dis
tricts of the state last year and found
a unanimous sentiment demanding
the enforcement of the quarantine
against California, Texas and Florida
potatoes as a protection to their in
dustry.
The law provides that any dealer
who sells or offers for sale any pota-
toes brought into the state in viola
tion of the quarantine order will be
subject to prosecution under the state
law and dealers in towns adjoining
the state line cannot import by de-
livery service into the state to con-
sumers such potatoes. The railway
and express companies will be asked
to decline shipments of California,
Texas and Florida potatoes destined
70 Idaho points and also decline ship
merits from Washington, Oregon,
Montana, Colorado and Utah points
unless such shipments are accom-
panied by the proper certificates
showing the potatoes are home
grown.
The enforcement of this quarantine
in the northern part of the state will
be in the hands of inspectors G. G..
Andrus, of Lewiston, and S. J. Klep-
fer, of Rathdrum These inspectors
will make frequent trips over the
territory and all potatoes brought in
to the state in violation of the quar-
antine order will be seized and de-
stroyed and prosecutions waged
against the dealers having the same
for sale.

LESS THAN THREE
WEEKS TILL COMMENCEMENT

With less than three weeks remain
ing before the end of the school year,
university students are consuming
literally the proverbial midnight oil
in preparation for final examinations.
AS seniors are excused from classes
a week early, they now are going
through an especially strenuous
period of work.
Social events with the exception of
one or two picnics, have about come
to a close. The last all-college dance
of the year was held Saturday night
by the Washington club, which is
composed of students from the state
of Washington. Several athletic con-
tests will be held before the close OF
school but as these come i'll the
afternoon they will not conflict with
nightly studying.

IDAHO UNIVERSITY
DEFEATED ". S. C
SPLENDID EXHIBITION OF BALL
PLAYING SHOWS IDAHO
HAS A STRONG TEAM.

Proof that the university has a good
ball team when it gets started was
shown Monday when Idaho defeated
Washington State College 5 to 1. Ida
ho took the lead in the first inning
when, after Kinnison walked and
Evans got on by error, Moe hit
three Dagger over the left fielder W.
5. e. made several attempts to over
come the Idaho lead but were un-
successful and only once, in the latter
part of the game, did they seriously
threaten the locals. In this frame they
succeeded in getting the bases full
with two down but the next batter
knocked hot one into Kinneson's
hands, and Washington's chances
were gone. Both teams played ex-
cellent ball and the large crowd was
kept at high point of excitement all
the way through
Idaho had men on the bases in
nearly every inning but w. S. c.. gen.
orally managed to pull out of the
hole. Ruley, pitching for the visitors,
was constantly in hot water but able
fielding saving him from being jerk
ed.
Moe pitching Idaho, duplicated his
performance of week ago by strik-
ing out 10 men and allowed only five
we'll scattered hits. Idaho pulled off
one double play and cut off frequent
sacrifice hits by fast field
ing.

Team Goes to MissOula
Following three straight victories,
the Idaho baseball team leaves tomor-
row for Missoula, to play a three
game series with the University of
Montana.
Recently, ON the Idaho field, the
Bruins administered a rather decisive
defeat to the Idaho team, but notice
able improvement in fielding and base
running gives Idahoans hopes for
victorories on the coming trip.
Les Moe, of Kellogg, for the past
three years short stop and third base
man, has recently proved to be above
the average as a pitcher, having won
easily the two games he has worked
in. This find adds much needed
strength to Coach MacMillan's bat
terry. Eddie Foran, Seattle, after
poor start this year, IS
rounding into shape and probably will
be used in one of the games. Mari
neau, the Coeur d'Alene port slider
who so far has been Idaho's best bet
in the hurting end is expected to pitch
the first of the Montana games.
