YAPPING OF YAPe

The jingoists are again jingoini
and the U. s. and Japan are yappint
bout zap.
The United States was afraid the
League of Nations would plunge the
country into war, so turned dowr
the League. The other big powers
banded together, divided up the
spoils and zap went to Japan. Now
the u. S. refuses to recognize the
right of the League to give Japan 8
mandate in zap.
Which brings US up against a set
Element Of the question with Japan.
Japan belongs to the League and a
war-like move on the part Of the U.
s. would be as against all the League
members.
Secretary Hughes is exchanging
a lot of notes on the situation and
these have now been made public in
the effort to create sentiment in this
country favorable to war with Jap
an, while the lingo press is talking
war.
II is evident that the fellows who
made millions off the war are not
satisfied and want to start something
and just as soon as a good excuse
can be found and the people worked
up to sufficient frenzy the show
will be on.
To our mind there is little need of
getting into war over the island Of
Yap. The, only benefit the island
would be would be in case of war and
it seems foolish to rib up war just
over a cherished plot of ground only
necessary in case of war.
We would suggest that Mr.. Hughes
throw those notes in the waste paper
II the country gets unruly we can
basket and let Japan have zap. Then
easily attend to her. We don't need
any more war now, Mr.. Hughes.

INVOICE FRESHMAN BRAINS
FACULTY PASSES RULE FOR ALL
FRESHMEN TO TAKE OTIS
INTELLIGENCE TEST

In compliance with a faculty rul-
ing, freshmen, for the first time in
the history of the university, will be
given intelligence tests. These tests
will be similar to those given men
entering the army. Under direction
of Joseph w. Barton, associate pro-
fessor of philosophy and psychology,
preparations are being made to con-
duct the tests within the next two
weeks.
1.-THE purpose said Professor Bar
ton, 'is to provide an additional
means for properly planning college
courses, with the hope of eliminating
waste of students time and money.
'These intelligence tests may also
be used as check on the efficiency
of teaching and to determin the de-
gree of intelligence necessary to pur-
sue various courses offered at the
university"
With a freshman class of approx
mately 400 the work of giving the
tests and correcting the papers will
be a burdensome task The class
will be divided into groups when the
tests are given, but no information
as to the relative standings Of the
students will be given out.

MOSCOW PUREBREB STOCK
GOES TO TROY FAIR

1t is seldom that finer showing
of livestock is assembled than that
which was taken from Moscow this
morning to the Troy fair and live
stock show Throughout the war
period few breeders in the Moscow
district have stayed with their live
stock in spite of the high price of feed
and the general discouraging condi-
tions, and are now reaping the reward
having established herds while others
are compelled to again build up herds
A number of these breeders will have
their stock on exhibition at Troy this
week.
c. w. Brown, we'll known dealer
in thorobred horses, took number of
stations and jacks to the fair this
to remain during te rest of
the week.
N. Williamson, who has spent the
past three years developing thorough
bred Shire horses, pure bred Short
horn cattle and Duroc Jersey hogs on
his well equipped farm near Moscow,
is represented with the biggest bunch
of livestock at the fair, taking his
stock down this morning, as did also
Ward Gano, breeder of Shire horses
and Holstein cattle.
These gentlemen are doing much
toward making the livestock depart
ment at the fair a success, and it is
that other breeders from
here will enter stock this afternoon or
tomorrow.

TEAM PROSPECTS NOT
OVERLY ENCOURAGING
COACH BUTLER OF HIGH SCHOOL,
REFUSES TO ENTHUSE OVER
SEASONAL OUTLOOK.

With but four letter men of last
years eleven in high school and with
a squad of about 25 men Coach J. R.
Butler of the Moscow High school
considers the problem of putting out
winning football team this season
as serious one. The disastrous
practice game with the alumni last
Saturday showed conclusively the
weaknesses of the high school eleven,
when the graduates romped away with
the game by score of 26 to O.
In Captain Ted Kitley and Joe Gar
rison letter men, Coach Butler has a
pair of strong ends. Paul Mickey and
Tom Owings, letter men, are con-
sidered the mainstays of the back
field, but Coach Butler has to de-
velop fast charging and aggressive
line from the green material.
The first real test of the season
comes Friday when Moscow plays the
Lewiston High school eleven at
Lewiston. Every effort is being
made to whip the team into shape
before that game. A scheduled prac-
tice game with the University of Ida
no freshmen on Wednesday has been
called off until later in the season.
Games on the schedule now ar
ranged are: October Z, North Cen
trail High school, at Sokane; October
Is, Lewis and Clark High school, at
Moscow. Other games will be ar
ranged later.
From the squad the men showing
up best thus far in the early season
workouts are: Woody, guard; Cor
nelson and Anderson, tackles; Luvas,
Gussett, Ceum, backfield; Suddreth,
center; SEWERS and Nelson linesmen.
Coach Butler played varsity foot
ball at the University of Washington
in 1919 and 1920. He made-his let
ter both years and the year 1916 he
was captain of the freshman eleven

DEMONSTRATION P|CR|C
ACID IS SUCCESSFUL

Under the direction of O. S. Fletch-
Ter, county agricultural agent, and
farm bureau head, a picric acid
demonstration was given on the
Banner school ground on Rock
Greek, near Potlatch, yesterday.
Light charges Of the acid were used
and heavy stumps were blown loose
and split, making it easy to burn
them out or to pull them out with
horses. Heavy charges of the acid
would have thrown the stumps clear
of the ground. 1t was demonstrated
to the satisfaction Of the % farmers
present that picric acid is the super
ior of dynamite for use in clearing
land
The first carload of the acid to ar
rive in Latah county was brought in
over the w. l. & M. Saturday, to Pot
latch, Harvard and Deary and was
distributed from there to almost every
cut-over section of the county, being
hauled to Moscow, Troy and other
sections by truck.
A demonstration will be held on
the A. F Hamburg place next Monday
and later at both Troy and Deary.
The owners of cut-over lands feel
that they are going to get excellent
results from the use of the acid

tax rolls had to be revised to conform
to the order of the state board.

figuring the taxes on the valuations

must be all figured and extended,
by separate taxing districts. When
this work is all completed and the
totals summed up the tax rolls must
be charged up, and turned over to
the tax collector in ample time for her
to get the tax notices before the time
for the tax collecting to begin, the
fourth Monday in November.

had at all times of the amount con-
tanned on the tax rolls, as the same
is footed and charged by the county
