New York. - One hundred thousand
people gather in learning and Ameri-
can ideas at New York City Settlement
houses. Quite fair sized city in them
selves! In "The Neighborhood House
Review Of 1921" presented the other
day by the settlement house associa-
ton, there were twenty nationalities
among the 200 members Of the cast,
chosen from that 100000. 1t was not
quite sa frivolous review" as we
are accustomed to see atop the New
York roofs, but 1t was without doubt
as truly American"
Sam Shing, seventy years old, Is the
only Chinese left in Chinatown who
wears a queue. A delegation called on
him the other day-a group of modern
Chinese who have been wearing their
hair short ever since the Chinese Re-
public was proclaimed few years ago
in an effort to persuade him to be-
come as queueless as they. They found
his, as usual, sitting in the doorway
Of his drug store in Doyers street,
where he sells Chinese remedies of
snakes blood, frogs tongues, ginseng
powders and dried serpents' eggs, and
they tried to lure him to the busy bar
ber-shop across the way. But he only
waved his pipestem at them and turn
ed away. AS contract to Sam Shing
and his drugstore, the barbershop
across the street not only is kept busy
giving American hair-cuts, but little
Chinese manicurists there take care
Of the Chinese dandies' finger-tips.
Convinced of the strong influence Of
Mine own people," the National
Board Of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association has chosen true,
thoroughbred American Indian girls
to lead the organizations work among
the people Of that race. The success
Of the idea has already been proven by
Miss Ella Deloria, daughter of Sioux
chief, Of Standing Rock, South Dakota,
who has left for the Pacific Coast to
give a series of talks on recreational
and other branches of Y. w. work.
Miss Deloria, who was graduated from
Columbia University in 1915, has been
physical director in All Saints school,
at Sioux Falls, s. Oak, since her
graduation. 1t may seem bit like
carrying Goals to Newcastle for what
was primarily city organization to
60 out and give physical training to
Indian girls, but it has worked SPLEEN
didly. Miss Deloria assisted in put
ting on pageant at an Indian gath
ering last year, which she wrote and
directed, telling the history of her
tribe, and she is planning to do more
work Of that kind. Another Indian girl
recently added to the Y. W. forces is
Susie Meek, who had been trained by
the Friends, but whom they could not
employ as a worker because their
rules insist upon married workers and
Susie is as yet unattached. She en-
planned frankly that after she was
married she might prefer to stay at
home and take care OF her husband

MOSCOW CUBS PLAY LAST
GAME WITH KENDRICK SUND

AS they say in the courts and now
comes in Kendrick with its petition.
Said, petition, being reviewed by the
court, should not be granted because
Of injudicious demarks by the Ken
drick ball management reflecting on
the management such as: "Booh, yer
did't win der champ games until yor
played US, see?" But the counter Pc
tition by the Moscow Cubs, thru Man
ager Eastman, the court of public
opinion withdrew, and granted the
request.
The Moscow Cubs play Kendrick at
the Fair grounds on Sunday, August
% at p. m. This is the first game
with Kendrick this year and should
prove unusually interesting because
it will be the first and last, and Ger
tainly the last to be played this sea-
son on the home grounds. The public
is specially invited to see this game.
Even if Kendrick "a bigger and older
team wins, this will not disturb the
championship. That has been legiti-
mately won.
Come out and root for the Moscow
Cubs This is a game that will test
the mettle of the Kendrick boys.

PARENTS INFORMATION
REPLIED TO ON SCHOOL AGE

Numerous inquiries having been
made relative to the age at which
children may make their initial entry
in the Moscow schools the matter was
taken up at the last Board meeting.
According to Supt. Soulen's report the
Board decided upon the age of six
years. This means that any child to
be admitted to the first grade of the
school must have had its sixth birth
day on or before the fifth of Septem-
ber, the opening day of school. Chill
dren whose sixth birthday occurs af-
ter the opening day of school may en-
roll at thebeginning of the second
semester. There will no doubt be
children who reach their sixth birth
day shortly after the opening day
and parents who desire to have them
enter before the legal age. To per-
nit this leads to confusion and dis
content for there are some children
reaching their sixth birthday every
week in the year. Experience has al
so proven that underage children are
handicapped in attempting standard
first grade work An ideal system
would provide kindergarten class for
those under six years. Some day
Moscow's treasury may permit this
desirable addition. 1t will pay large
returns.

COUNTY LEGION POSTS
RECEIVE NOTICE OF WORK

Robert d. Leeper, state commander,
urges all Legion posts to take part
in the coming drive for eX-service men
in a circular letter, Friday, and
recommends they advise all ex-serl
vice men in Moscow and Latah county
of their rights under theWar Risk In
surance act. They are to provide for
an immediate physical examination
nish disqualification for urgent cases.
The letter in part says:
The drive will be carried out by the
Government, the American Legion
and the Red Cross, working together.
1t is expected that ex-service men and
the general public will join in CO.
operating to get every claim before
the cleanup squad when it arrives in
their locality. 1t is the plan of the
Department to send a squad consist
ing of a Medical Examiner, a COM
pensation and Insurance Claims Ex-
aminer and Secretary, throughout
The State to meet ex-service men who
have any claim against the Govern
ment. Accompanying this squad will
be a representative of the American
Legion and the Red Cross. Mr.. Fred
erick Erb of Weiser, Idaho has been
to represent the Legion on
the cleanup drive. Claims will be
settled by the squad as presented, and
action had from the De-
partment at Washington. All Red
Tape will be cut out. Every ex-ser-
vice man and woman in the State, who
has any claim against the Government
can get it adjusted now.

LOW ASSESSED VALUE
INJURIES co FARMERS
FROM FIRE is A
NEEDED THING IN COUNTY
RECORD VAULT.

The repairs and placing of a roof
by the Roth Construction company
workmen, Friday, to the addition to
the south side of the county court
house, ordered some time ago by the
county commissioners for the protec-
tion of vault and recording room from
Jupiter Pluvius, called attention to the
fact that the deeds, the probate rec
ords, the district court records, in
short all department records of the
court house are crowded in one vault
and exposed to destruction by fire.
A prominent court house official
gave it as his opinion that protection
is needed and recalled the fact that
after passing the house and senate,
the bill creating new court house
for Latah county was vetoed by the
governor. The bill if it had obtained
his signature would have empowered
the county commissioners to have
made levy spread over a number of
years on the taxpayers for the erec-
ton of the new building. AS it is
now should fire destroy the records
the county would be put to no end of
expense to replace them.
Naturalization court will be held
by Judge Edgar Steele Saturday
morning. There are three petitions
for naturalization Percy E. Morton,
born in Canada, now resides at Hell
mer. Robert Lee Smith was born in
but went to Canada and be-
came citizen of that country. He is
now living in Troy and desires to be
restored to the status of a citizen.
Henry Kechter, a farmer of Deary, is
a native of Russia. The holding of
court is unusually in
teresting from the fact that the petit
TONERS will be questioned on their
of the United States and
it's laws.
County Assessor Gemmell and
County Recorder Estes cannot under
stand why IS per cent raise has been
added to the agricultural land as
,essments here by the state board.
when the adjoining county goes down.
Taking all considerations published
in the Star Mirror as again
It the raise, it appears as if some ex-
,lanation was due. The farmers, not
the heavy freight rates,
nd the difficulties incidental to SELL
ng crops at premium, get a black
we. The low assessed values in other
ounties have placed land in bad
ght, and when that is said all is said

QUIET TITLE GOES TO
DEFENSE BF CT DECISION

A remarkable case, involving nearly
an acre of groud controversy of &c
years, and a suit brought by B. j
Jones, thru Orland & Lee, to quiet
title against j. H. Miller, defended by
Attorney Guy Wolf, was decided by
Judge Edgar Steele Friday in district
court by which the quieting of the
title goes to the defendant
The land in question was described
N. r. 6, M B. near Palouse. The
parties to the suit farmed on each
side of fence that had been laid out
on a survey and here it remained 20
years. Jones in 1920 claimed he ask
ed for new survey. The second sur
vey placed the line in such a manner
that controversy ensued between the
parties.
Judge Steele in mis- decision cites
the case of Brown versus Brown, a
similar case over land but agreed up
on by the parties to the action and
not to be altered until the true line
was found. They awaited a survey
for the running of the fence. In this
the fence was built and it remained for
the years mentioned. Miller, it was
claimed, was notified that the fence
was not on the true line when it was
built. 1t is cited in 1916 he was
also notified. The court held that
both parties accepted. the line as the
true one, the line Of the fence. The
comparison between the case cited
and the one before the court is made,
plain in the decision.
The court held the title was quieted
in the defendant because Miller held
the law by adverse possession, which is
for more than five years, or
could hold it because the line where
the fence was located became the true
line, either by the acts in so recog-
nizing it at the beginning, or because
it was in fact the true line. The de-
cision was victory for Attorney Guy
Wolfe

MANAGER OF ". ". P. GIVES
STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC.
To the Star Mirror:

To the Star-M Mirror:
Under date of August 18th, there
appeared in your paper an article re-
garding the installation of a new
transformer at our sub-station in this
city. From the article as published,
we feel that the public have been
given the wrong impression as to the
purpose of this installation.
In order to correct this apparent
false impression, / wish to use this
means of conveying to our many
valued consumers the following facts:
In the first place this transformer,
We now have an over capacity of
about 45O X. v. A. which should take
care Of Moscow's growth for several
years to come. Incidentally in case
of burn out" of either of these two
which they sometimes
do, Moscow would be assured of Elec-
trical service from the other trans
former. This will not prevent an in
terruption in our service in case of a
break in our lines between here and
Spokane and does not guarantee fur
ether continuity of service than before
mentioned.
The fact that we now have an over
of 45O K. V. A., approximate
y 600 horse power means much to
Moscow, inasmuch as any new indus
,ries which may locate here in the fu-
ure will be assured of ample power
or all purposes.
Respectfully Yours,
G. r. BECKMAN. /

"TRIP IS SUCCESS IN
SECTIONS OF STATE
: COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN
LEWIS ENTERPRISE is MOS
COW MANS LINE.

Mr.. J. l.. Burton Lewis, who has
been residen of Moscow for several
months, has just returned from a busi-
ness and pleasure trip to Vancouver
B. c. He reports that the trip was
more than successful and will have
much influence upon the future acti-
vities of the Lewis Enterprises, of
which he is the chief executive. AS a
result of arrangements made during
absorbed all other outstanding inter
ests. The new executive has j. L. Bur
ton Lewis as President and general
manager. B. A. G. Lewis, Vice Presi-
dent and l.. Hunter c.. Lewis, Secre-
ary- Treasurer.
Mr.. Lewis reports that the policy
of the new organization will be the
same as with the founders; one of
continual expansion. During the
course of a week the Pacific organi-
zation will have established offices in
Francisco for Sales and Distribution
purposes. The executive quarters will
be in Vancouver, B. C. and this city.
The Lewis enterprises are special
fzing on territorial distribution work,
taking over the enterprise sales of
certain articles for large portions of
the country. Through relations with
several large international trading
firms they are taking up the world
sales for several eastern firms. The
American head offices are in New
York city and two expert buyers are
always on the outlook for new pro-
ducts that can be sold to advantage
Among the various firms the Lewis
enterprises represent are: The Ameri-
can Rubber Products Co., The Nichol-
son Drug Co., Jay Rose & Co., Patent
Novelty Co., Russell-Cordell Co..
Bradford and Co., Inc, The Calculator
Corporation, The Baker Pottery Co., H.
Kamrass and Sons, A. w. Shaw Co.,
Weinman Brothers and ]. M. Long
Company. AS we'll as covering the
interests of these organizations
throughout large districts the firm
will buy and sell novelties and notions,
conduct buying representations in any
part of the world and direct adver-
tising campaigns.
Mr.. Lewis says that the period of |
is being passed very |
and that it should not be |
very many months until the firm will |
be quite a factor in the trading of the
western states. Vancouver B. c., was
Mr.. Lewis home until the time the
doctors ordered him to higher alti-
tude and he found a great deal of
pleasure in the brief return. He
seems trifle at loss to decide which
part of the trip was the most success
full, the reorganization of the COM
oany, or the reestablishment of social
relations with old friends.

PARTNERS ADVANCE
BUILDING PROJECTS
MILLION FEET OF LUMBER is
AVAILABLE-WA TO MEET
WITH OWNERS.

A movement of considerable i'm
portance to the City of Moscow and
to the University of Idaho, as we'll as
to all investors who are willing to
cooperate in a strictly business prop
osition on the housing problem was
started Friday morning when J. c..
Throop, proprietor of the Crane Creek
Lumber company, and sawmill, an IN
dependent concern, with l.. L. Young,
the well known farmer of Princeton,
were here for the purpose of inter
viewing citizens willing to take part
in plans for building houses.
"We have over a million feet OF
seasoned lumber in our yards" said
Mr. Throop to a Star-Mirror man, "and
this lumber is suitable in every way
for the building of good homes. 1t
can be used and is in a dry condition,
the kind of material that meets all
conditions in the building trade. Not
only that this can be looked over by
all who wish to secure good material.
We propose to construct houses with
the assistance of those owning lots,
and who are willing to order houses
to be built. This is business propo-
sition. The investors can rely on Sc
curing seasoned lumber at the right
kind of prices
Mr.. Throop and Mr.. Young are look
ing over conditions in the city and
find there is a lamentable scarcity
of homes for the incoming people who
wish to locate here. They also find
that college professors have had diff
Guilty in securing houses. The lack of
for the students at
the University was also taken into
That modern residences
are wanted goes without saying in
their opinion. There are number of
vacant lots suitable for the purpose
and they wish to meet owners who
would examine into their proposition.
If orders are received to warrant
construction they propose
to start to work at once and rush |
houses to completion before snow
flies. Any information desired can
be obtained at the Star Mirror office. !
This is home project by home in
1ustry and one that should be sup
ported.

EXTENSION SERVICE WANTS TO

ACTER IN LATAH.

o. S. Fletcher in review as county
agricultural agent tells of the Sand
ppint meeting of the county agents
with the University extension men
and says there has been no change in
the plan of the work but better un-
|derstanding has prevailed The coun-
ty agents will continue their work on
agricultural projects in communities,
thru the community committeeman,
who will probably be farm bureau
members The relations have been
brought to a national basis. His out
line concludes as follows:
Recently, at Washington, D. c.,
conference was held between Presi-
dent j. R. Howard of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, and DR.. A.
C. True Of the States reclamation Ser
vice, United States department of
agriculture, and an agreement was
reached, which outlines the general
relationships of the extension agents
to the county farm bureaus. Accord
ing to this agreement, the county
agents will aid the farming people in
q broad way, with reference to the
formation of farm bureaus and other
organizations, but will not
themselves organize farm bureau or
other similar organizations, conduct
campaigns, solicit men,
berships, receive dues, or take part
in other farm bureau activities which
are outsinde their duties as extension
agents.
The county extension agents will
cooperate with the farm bureaus or

TROY JUNIORS NOW HOWL
OVER. THAT CHAMPIONSHIP

While the hackers of the Moscow
Cubs are crying, "Poppycock" and
accusing the Kendrick team of play
ing man-sized players, they are for
getting the record the Troy Juniors
have made against both the Moscow
Cubs and the Kendrick team. Figures
count, says the Troy News. 1t is
easy to throw up ones hat in en-
thusiasm, but it is not possible TO
get around facts. The Troy boys
have won two out of three of their
season. This gives them the undis-
puted edge over that team. They
have won two out of three games
from both the Kendrick and Genesee
teams and that puts them in the lead
over those teams. They have broke
even with the Bovill team and have
another game coming to decide the
superiority between them. This is
the record of games played among |
the junior teams of the county to !
date and because the Moscow Cub |
manager finds a team down in Ore
gon that is lighter in every way than
his Cubs and gives them a. walloping,
does not in any sense entitle the Mos
COW kids to the county championship
or any other championship. The man
ager of the team and the Moscow
boosters should hunt up the records
before they make any extravaSant
claims. Note: The Moscow Cubs
play the Kendrick boys Sunday
