RICHMOND To BECOME
DRY AGENT STATION
q UNDER NEWS PLAN

,.~ Richmond is likely to be the eastern
headquarters for group OF federal
prohibition agents in case plans out
lined by Senator New for making
Indiana a separate federal prohibition
enforcement district instead of one OF
four states under the direction of the
federal agent at Chicago go into
effect The plans are revealed in a
letter received by Bert c. Morgan
from the senator.
Under the present arrangement Mr..
Morgan, who is to succeed Charles j.
Orbison as federal prohibition director
for Indiana, May 16. will have charge
Of the issuance of licenses to concerns
permitted to deal in alcohol under the
law. and to direct the corps of inspec-
tors whose duties are confined to SUI
pervision of the legitimate use OF
wines and spirits.
According to the plan being advocat-
ed by Senator New, Mr.. Morgan would
also become chief of the prohibition
agents in the state running down
Illicit traffic The plan has been sub
mitted to the federal prohibition com
missioner at Washington.
Two Group Bases Now.
Indiana is now part of a large en-
forcing district, which includes Ohio,
Illinois and Michigan. Two groups of
prohibition enforcement agents are
working in Indiana under the direc-
tions of the agent at Chicago. These
groups have headquarters at Indian
apolis and Hammond.
Should the state be made a separate
district, Mr.. Morgan said he intends
to establish at least four group head
quarters in order to make the work
more effective and 10 eliminate the
necessity of long trips by agents from
their respective bases.
Indianapolis and Hammond would
be continued as group headquarters.
Mr.. Morgan said, but another base
would be established. probably at
Terre Haute, to take care Of the south
ern part of the Indiana-Illinois line
and the pocket district. In event a
fifth group headquarters is decided
upon it will likely be at South Bend.
Boundaries of federal prohibition
enforcement districts are established
by rules adopted by the commissioner
at Washington and are not established
by law. The districts can be changed
at any time to better the service.

FIRE PRECAUTION URGED
DURING HOLIDAY PERIOD

Carl Smith, chief of the Moscow
Volunteer Fire department, is in re-
ceipt of list of precautions which
should be followed out in the deco
ration of Christmas trees, so that the
fire hazard may be reduced to the
minimum. The list is sent out by the
Washington Hardware & Implement
Underwriters.
The article states in part:
Keep the fire demon away from
your Christmas tree. Use only cleo
trio lights and non-inflamable decor
ations Keep matches away. Re-
move the tree Immediately after holi-
days.
Attention is called to the fact that
fire destroys annually more than five
hundred million dollars worth of
property each year in the United
States. 1t is suggested that to pre-
vent this, nothing helps more than
carefulness.

A CHRISTMAS GIFT
FOR EVERY CHILD
PLAN CARRIED OUT IN MOSCOW
SCHOOLS-INTERE PRO-
GRAMS GIVEN BY PUPILS.

Every pupil in the Moscow schools,
from the members of the senior class
down to the little tots in the primary
grades, received a Christmas remem-
sbrance today from some other pupil.
Every teacher gave and also received
gift. The idea was suggested by
Superintendent Soulen, that every
pupil should give something and
every pupil receive something, it be-
ing insisted, however, that the articles
given must be inexpensive. The plan
was suggested for the purpose of i'm
pressing upon the minds Of the pupils
the idea of remembering someone
else. The plan worked out most sue
cessfully and afforded much pleasure,
especially for the pupils in the lower
grades.
No call was made upon the chill
dren to give for the purpose of aid
ing the needy, that having been so
well taken care of at Thanksgiving
time when, on suggestion of the su-
perintendent, large quantity of use
ful articles of wearing apparel, as
we'll as books and food, was assem-
bled and distributed where needed
There is still some of the clothing on
hand which is being put out from
time to time as occasion demands.
Christmas Programs Given
Thursday afternoon the grade chill
dren gave an excellent program in
the High School auditorium, con-
sistfng of a Santa Claus cantata, in
which there were solos, duets,
chOruses and speeches, affording ex-
cellent entertainment for the audi
ence, which packed the auditorium
The program was put on under the
direction of Miss Slawson, supervisor
OF music in the schools, with Miss
Norris at the piano.
Friday afternoon an excellent pro-
gram was given by the pupils at the
Irving building, under the direction
of Miss Peterson. A program was

part of the concert Of the previous
day was reproduced and several num-
bers given by the girls who are TAX
Ing music in the high school. At the
close of the program the presents
were given out, from huge Christ
mas tree

MUCH MONEY FOR
FARM AID LOANS
WAR FINANCES BOARD HAS AD-
VANCED $S5,00O,000 FOR AGRI-
CULTURAL PURPOSES.

WashingtOn-The war finance cor
poration is doing business at the rate
of several million dollars a day, ac-
cOrding to the annual report of that
organization submitted today to con-
gress.
Up to November 80, the date of the
report, the corporation said, it's ad-
vances for agricultural and livestock
purposes totaled more than $S5,OO0,-
900, of which the principal items were
loans on cotton aggregating $22,00O,-
000 on grain $16,000,00O; live stock
S13,00O,000 and for general agricul-
tural purposes $34, 100000.
In addition financing advances were
reported aggregating $51 100000 on
exports, OF which the largest items
were $28,000,000 on cotton and SILL
100000 on grain.
Summarizing it's loans, the corpora
ton showed that $52,000,00 had been
to cooperative associations,
$72,000,000 to banking and financial
institutions and $9,000,00O to export
ers covering both agricultural and
export advances
Entirely aside from the direct fl
aid extended, the corporation
asserted it was rendering a helpful
service from the psychological point
Of view.
"Its very existence" the report
said, with large funds at it's COM
mand, has tended to inspire conf
dence, has opened up other avenues
Of credit and has facilitated the fl
nancing Of transactions through the
usual channels.

THE HORSE GOES TO
DISCARD In PARIS

Paris-(A. P.)-The horse soon will
be but memory, so far as the prin-
cipal thoroughfares of Paris are con-
are adopted in an effort to olsen
tangle the traffic jams which are daily
making the pedestrians existence more
uncertain.
These experts purpose to bar all
horse-drawn vehicles from the chief
traffic arteries during the daylight
hours, leaving the horse only few
hours at night in which to jog along.
The traffic authorities would go fur
ther and even Danish ordinary hui
man being who are forced to walk.
They purpose putting them all under
ground on a moving sidewalk
In any event those who take a
gloomy view of the traffic situation,
see one optimistic aspect of it. They
say it cant get any worse. Accidents
are almost hourly occurrences on the
boulevards and a tieup is the inevita
able result.
The red bands at crossings, con-
walkers, have proved a failure Only
a heavy rain reveals their presence
and even then the drivers ignore
them
Cruising taxicabs add to the con-
fusion and it is further suggested that
this practice be prohibited. The in
crease in the buses has deprived
taxicahs of much business and they
are now forced to solicit business, a
thing unnecessary since 1914.

pated in several holdups, including
the robbery of the Oregon Short Line
train in Utah last August and the
sudden interruption of a card party
at the home of Jacob Loeb in Chicago
last June.
In his confession TimmOns said that
they obtained $3.50 from the passen-

FREIGHT TWO-THIRDS
COST,.OF CAR OF CORN

The part that the high freight rates
play in financial affairs, of the
farmer, especially, is illustrated in an
incident in which LOCAL people figure
the shipment of car of corn,
weighing 10000 pounds, from an Iowa
town to Lewiston. This corn was
bought by the Mark P. Miller Milling
company Of this city and the freight
bills were received by Mr. Miller a
few days ago. It may astonish those
who have not been doing any great
amount of shipping to know that
more than two-thirds of the cost of
the corn laid down at Lewiston is in
the freight About one third Of the
cost of the carload was paid to the
warehouse man at the Iowa point,
and it is probable that the farmer
who grew the corn received at least
$25 less than the amount paid the
dealer.
The illustration is striking one,
but the same thing is occurring con-
tinually, in the shipment OF the far
mer's product from the nearest ware
house point to the market.

GETS
SWISS XMAS TREE
VOCATIONAL MANS MOTHER
SENDS UNIQUE REMEMBRANCE
FROM OLD COUNTRY

Although home to him is a place
thousands of miles away, a touch of
hOmelike Christmas was brought to
Fred Lofler, a vocational student at
the university, in the form of a small
artificial Christmas tree sent to him
by his mother and sister in far off
Switzerland
The little tree stands about IL
inches high and the workmanship is
so fine that it is only by the closest
examination that one can tell it is
artificial. The tree was highly decor
ated much the same as American
trees, with little suitcases of candy
around the base.
Mr.. Lofler is a vocational trainee
at the university as a result of disa-
bility received overseas with the
doughboys during the wor He also
served on the border during the
threatened trouble with Mexico.
About month ago, Mr.. Lofler's
mother and sister sent him for a
birthday remembrance rare flower,
seldom seen in this country, that is
of Switzerland. 1t grows in high, al
most inaccessible places. The flower
does not wilt nor dry and after being
bounced around in the mails all the
way from the old country, when Mr.
Lofler received it it was as bright
and lifelike as ever.
Lofler came to America when the
was ID years of age and says his
mother and sister are thinking some
of coming to this country.

mo COURT BUSINESS
AS CHRISTMAS NEARS

With Latah county people concern
ed over Christmas and New Year fes-
tivities, offices in the county court
house are seeing noticeable drop in
business.
According to the sheriff's office,
everyone is taking on the "just before
Christmas" attitude and no arrests
have been made for a few days. At
torneys, apparently, are thinking of
Christmas and no legal papers were
filed in the probate court today, CIV
ing Judge Adrian Nelson a chance to
clean up some routine work.
But in the tax collectors office their
was no drop in business. Property
owners are still keeping the staff of
clerks on the jump. The county
clerks office is concerned mostly
over keeping books, not even a mar
riage license breaking the monotony
of routine labor.

COUNTY RESPONDS Il
TO AID NEAR-EAST
WHEAT CAR NOW COLLECTING
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LOCAL
GROWERS

The Near East relief car now being
loaded at various Latah county points
is due to arrive in Moscow Monday
to collect wheat pledged by farmers
of this section. Money and clothes
also needed, is coming it at good
rate.
Genesee has been doing good work
in the drive. according to J. D. Davis,
country chairman, and will report the
final results tonight.
The car was at Juliaetta Tuesday
where considerable wheat and cloth
ing was pledged. At Kendrick yes
terday, 25 sacks of wheat and 25
sacks of corn were loaded into the
car. In addition, considerable money
was collected.
Troy is loading today and, according
to Mr.. Davis, the fine response in this
section gives assurance that its quota
OF 100 sacks will be raised. Bov1ll
and Potlatch report progress in the
solicitations, the latter having raised
about 500.
Latah county people in general have
responded well to the plea for aid for
the destitute sections of the Near East
says Mr.. Davis. the pledges Of wheat
by growers were liberal and the quota
will without doubt be raised. Near
Moscow the response was good but
farmers have been a trifle slow in
bringing their contributions to the
warehouse where the grain IS being
stored. Those who have pledged and
have not yet taken their grain to
town are requested to do SO as soon
as it is convenient so that the car
will not be delayed here.
The wheat will be shipped from
here to New Orleans and from there
direct to the near east. Clothing will
be sent to Seattle where it will be
sorted over and tears, rips, ETC.,
mended
People willing to give either wheat,
clothes or cash contributions are re-
uuested to see Mr.. Davis at Bratton's
grocery store

STATES TITLE TO
SCHOOL LANDS CLEARED

Vesting of undisputed title in the
state to more than 10000 acres of in
demnity school lands in Idaho is the
result of a trip to Washington made
several weeks ago by L. H. Nash, state
land commissioner. Mr. Nash will be
in Boise Wednesday having come from
Salt Lake Tuesday.
All the land is timber land and is
situated in Valley, Boise, Bonner and
Boundary counties. Some of the Sc
lections were made as far back as
1913 but title had never passed to the
state and the land therefore could not
be listed as assets. Mr.. Nash wired
his office when the titles were Sc
cured that the lands were highly
