CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN
IS FOR LATAH COUNTY
EX-SERVICE MEN HERE GIVEN
POINTERS ON THE WORK OF
SEPARATE POSTS.

In letter to the American Legion
posts of Moscow and Latah county,
to hand, Wednesday at hand.
at this office, John G. Emery,
national commander, Washington, d.
O., calls attention to the Clean Up
Campaign" published in Mondays
issue Of the Star Mirror. The letter
in part is as follows and shows clear
ly what is expected of the ex-service
men of this city and county:
"A wonderful opportunity is here
presented to render signal service to
the men of the late war, and to the
Government for which they were in
service. 1t is suggested that you give
careful thought to the representation
of the American Legion on the clean
up squad, as it is of the greatest i'm
portance that this representative be
familiar with the soldier problem, and
that he performs his work on a i'm
partial basis. Assurance has been
given us that as fast as claims are
made or are brought up for review,
they will receive attention by a sec
ton specially created by the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance to assimilate
this cleanup work Attention is in
vited to the need of advance publicity
and preparation for joint meetings.
The Ladies Auxiliary and Boy Scouts
can undoubtedly render valuable as
sistance in some localities. 1t is quite
essential that in each city and county
clearing house be established where
claims and complaints can be filed
and through which the cleanup squad
and District Manager can operate
In no way it is desired to limit your
scope of activities or your plan Of
action. Our objective is results and
any method or means which are at
your command to produce results will
be considered the proper plan for your
State. However, if we aim for defi-
mite goal, uniform system of funda-
mentals will be adhered to in all de-
partments.
'In order that more effective con-
tact is established throughout the
country, it is proposed to place on
the staff of each District Manager Of
the Bureau, Legion liaison officer
who will be furnished by this Division
His function will be to coordinate to
the full extent the efforts of the
American Legion, the American Red
Cross, the government departments
and ex-service persons. He will be
called upon to settle differences aris-
ing from various sources between the
Government and ex-service people in
MS district, and to assist the Depart
nent Commanders and Legion Off
.ials and Chairman of the Red Cross
chapters to perfect better organi-
zation in this campaign.
''It is earnestly desired that special
be paid to the apprehension
If the malingers and takers. The
departments report that
approximately one-third of their work
,oday consists of handling claims and
complaints of these men, Some, un-
loubtedly, are ignorant of the law
md their claims are not made inten-
,ionally with the object to defraud
he government.

SAL LvATION ARMY IS
A QUERY 10 CITIZENS
LOCAL BOARD is FORMED FOR
CANVASS IN MOSCOW-ITS
OBJECTS AND AIMS.

The following was handed into this
office Wednesday for publiction:
"Capt. L. L. Montgomery and wife
of the Salvation Army have been sent
to Moscow to organize a corps and
give this city the benefit of active Sal
walton Army have been sent to Mos
COW to organize corps and give this
city the benefit of active Salvation
tion Army work. They have met with
the local board and have canvassed the
situation in Moscow and Latah county.
It develops that quite a percentage of
the children here do not attend any
Sunday school; that there are numer-
GUS instances of wrong doing among
the young people Of this community,
which do not seem to be reached by
any local organization: that certain
cases where charity is needed have
not been found and cared for and
tht while it is true that Moscow has
many excellent churches with large
memberships, that there is a large
section of people not in touch with
them. There fore it would seem that
we have room and need for Salvation
Army work.
"People generally do not knew that
during the last year three wronged
girls from Latah County have been
cared for by the army. That some in
stances have occurred where young
folks have been set right through the
efforts of the local board These
matters are not published to call at
tention to the wrongs but to show the
need Of active work. Are you willing
to help?
1--WE need about 100000 to start the
army corps to work here and the
board have arranged that Captain
and Mrs. Montgomery will call on
everyone who will help to raise this
amount. We know the money will be
well spent.
SALVATION ARMY BOARD,
J. A. Mcdaniel, Chairman,
r. R. Sherry,
Geo. N. Lamphere,
Guy N. Wolfe.
That the Salvation Army did a won
derful work in the battlefields of
France goes without saying. Soldiers
sailors, and marines all swear by the
Salvation Army Doughnut lassie. The
courage and faithfulness shown the
wounded was an object of many COM
ments by the newspapers. The ques-
ton is: "Does Moscow Want A Sal
walton Army?"

County assessor Wednesday showed
that the work of equalization was

alton of Idaho property at $4,500,00O
over the equalized total valuation of
the state in 1920 The increase over
the reported valuation for 1920 is ten
million dollars.
Exact figures on the work of the
board will not be available until the
last of the week. The state auditors
is to figure out apportion-
ments of valuation, the total valua-
tions and what amounts the various
tax levies will raise. Complete fig
ures on the work of the board, as pro-
vided by law, must be worked out by
l.
In equalizing valuations on classes
of property as between counties the
board members had before them the
record of the number of sales of farm
and city property made in 1921. These
figures showed the sales value of the
and in addition data was COM
piled on state farm loans.

CHIEF ISSUES WARNING
REGARDING FIRE PERMITS

Carl Smith, chief Of the fire de-
artment, said Wednesday afternoon
that the department was out of all
patience with the way citizens were
disregarding fire permits. There had
been numerous cases Of burnings OF
rubbish on the streets and in alleys.
which were dangerous to the resi-
dents near by. The law demands that
permits be issued for such occasions.
Residents who do not comply after
this warning has been published will
be arrested without fear and favor
as the careless and neglect has gone
far enough, he said in conclusion.

MEN AND DISABLED VETS.
 'TEN-SHUN!

In an effort to clean up so far as possible at this time the claims of all disabled eX-service men, whether for compensation, insurance, vocational training Or medical treatment and at tention, Travelling Contact Unit, from the District Office of the newly created Veterans Bureau at San Francisco, together with the Arizona representative of the Bureau, will cover seven towns in this State during the month of September.
 They will operate on the following schedule: Tucson. September 14th and 18th; Bisbee, the 18th and 17th; Phoenix, the 18th and 10th; Prescott, the 21st and 22nd; HOlbrook, the 23rd WinslOw, the 24th; and Kingman the 26th.
 All eX-service men and wonien who are suffering from a disability incur red in or aggravated by their service, who have not put in a claim for same with the Government, should make it a point to see this Contact Unit, for they will be able to secure expert as sistance and advise in filing their claims which will receive prompt at tention.- The same thing applies to those who have filed claims but have found action tagging.
 For those living in the towns which will be covered by this Unit the pro- cedure is simple-all they need to do is to keep in touch with the local papers, some of the welfare organiza- tions or the American Legion, and they will be kept fully informed as to where the Unit will have it's head quarters in the town. For those liv- ing in places other than those to be visited by the Unit, it will be neces~ sary to write to Veteran Cleanup Campaign Committee, 240 Flood Build ing. San Francisco, California; giv- ing name in full; address; former or ganization while in the service; num- Der of compensation claim, if one has been filed; full statement of facts upon which the claim is based; the place where you can meet the squad covering Arizona: the name of rail road or stage line over which you will travel; and the date you will leave. If the facts in your case as dis closed by your letter warrant an in tervieW, transportation will then be furnished to the city in which the Contact Unit will appear nearest to your home town.
 This is the golden opportunity for those who have cause to file a claim, to do so and to secure the most rapid action possible, and for those with tagging claims to accelerate action thereon. The personnel of the Con- tact Unit will contain representa- tive of the vocational Training Board, a Representative of the Bureau or War Risk Insurance for cases of com pensation and insurance, and Public Health Service doctors to attend to the medical end of the proposition.

HTS B|SBEE FLOODING
 STORES

Bisbee, Ariz. Aug. 24-Streets and gulches in this city were converted into mountain streams for 30 minutes this evening by a cloudburst accom- panied by high winds and hail. AL though the storm lasted less than half an hour, every street in the business district was flooded with water from six inches to three feet in depth.
 Rushing down from the mountains surrounding Bisbee, the water carried a large quantity of rock and refuse into the business and residence dis tricts.
 Brewery Gulch suffered most from the storm-the street being left lit tered with rocks, dirt and brush. Other than damage to streets, no property loss was reported. No one was caught in the flood waters. but an Airedale dog, battling for life against a torrent of water that threatened to carry him into the subway, furnished pleny of excitement for scores of per sons who gathered at the depot in the center of the city, where the run off from Brewery Gulch and Tomb stone Canyon converged. At this place the water was several feet in depth.
