TAG DAY FOR WAO|NG
POOL IS BIG WINNER
BRIGHT YOUNG CANVASSERS IN
EFFORT SELL $50 TAGS
GO LIKE DOUGHNUTS

Up until noon the canvass for the
Wading Pool had resulted in a sale
of tickets from 200 to $50. Mayor
Melgard was enthused. He said the
! installation of the new pump and tank
would be ample for the water to sup
ply the pool. The Wading Pool will
not be of depth calculated to en-
danger the lives of the children. Com
plete arrangements are made to have
the children supervised and prevent
accidents.
The campaign for the Wading Pool
started off with bang this morning
The Star Mirror office, frightened by
the presence of the young lady cam
paigners, received many inquiries for
tags as soon as the office opened
Several persons were waiting outside.
Mr.. A J. Simonson of the Idaho hotel
handed over a five spot and said 81
want tag for each member of my
family. There are five of them and
the majority are men," He was given
five tickets.
r. r.. Sherfey sold Is tags in about
as many minutes. The boys and girls
under the leadership of Scoutmaster
Hawley went out into the residential
districts early and were courteously
received by the citizens and their
ladies. They are selling tags rapidly.
One family, not overburdened with
this worlds goods, said "I am glad
everyone was given an opportunity to
contribute to this pool. The swim
ming hole is the most democratic of
all American institutions. 1t is when
the rich and the poor are on an equal
ity. This is the time that all barriers
go'
tHuzza for Jim Riley's old swim
ming hole. Get into your pockets,
and dig up fro the kiddies and the
girls. Put this over" are slogans of
the boys and girls. A full report will

TAKING LIST OF ALL
PATRONS OF R. ROOM

The ladies of the city who have
been engaged in making the rest
room one of the features of hospit-
able oscow, are continuing the work
and are taking list of all patrons
in order to determine whether or not
the room is sphere of usefulness to
the visitors as we'll as the residents.
The ladies think it is worth the time
and energy they put on it, it was
learned Friday.
A census of the daily attendance
cannot be determined as real factor
because at this time lots of residents
are taking vacations and the summer
season is not an index of patronage.
But by adding the contemplated ad-
ditions on the score of winter attend
ance it can be shown that the Rest
room is popular. Such a census was
aiken in city of like size and popu-
lation in Colorado some years ago.
At at that time council who helped
to support it thought it was not well
patronized. The ladies of Moscow are
taking this census now in order to
show that the Rest room should be
continued.

GREAT EDUCATOR IS
FOR THE UNIVERSITY
is AGAINST SEPARATION FROM
TWO VIEWPOINTS-H
LOCATION RIGHT.

The Chamber of Commerce, and
the University of Idaho faculty and
particularly the industrial and mer-
camille men of Moscow, breathed en-
thusiasm, and sparkled progress
when Edward Dwight Eaton of Bos-
ton, president emeritus of Beloit col
lege, came out in print Friday with
the declaration that it was unwise to
have a state university divided. He
also gave unqualified praise to a for
mer president of the university, Dr.
M. A. Brannon, now head of Beloit
Here is what he says in the Idaho
Statesman:
There are two reasons why a state
university should not be divided, that
is one college in one part of the state
and another in another part of the
state. In the first place such a divi-
sion must of necessity result in dupli-
cation and additional expense.
"The other reason is that while
school or college, such as perhaps the
college of engineering, must special
ize-yet there must be background
of culture and learning. If all the
colleges are at one place the men or
women in the specialized school get
the benefits of the collegiate, cultural
atmosphere. Segregation of colleges
does not give students the broadened
outlook so essential to the future well
fare of the state
81 believe that a state university
should be located at one place. While
separate institutions will benefit the
particular locality the welfare of the
state as a whole is paramount. The
state university should be located for
the state as whole where its parts
can be developed into one fine organ
ISM"
At Wednesdays meeting of the
chamber of commerce speakers en-
phasized the fact that there was an
agitation for either the removal of
the diversity, or for an establishment
of an agricultural college elsewhere.
DR.. Eaton has hit the right nail on
the head and silenced the agitators.
The published statement was read
with great interest in Moscow and at
the university.

HANDLE FRE|CHTS
WITH Gl0vEO HAND
SHOWS CONCENTRATION is THE
ONE THING PATENT FOR A
FARMER TO EFFECT.

l4e--Pren Moore, famous 1nHlMOShnW, and
famous at the University of Idaho,
as the poultry cutler, who has been
spending the week in Boise, was
heard from Friday on the puzzling
problem of freight rates. The uni
versity extension man, who is a sworn
friend of the farmers wife whose
poultry means more than the average
pin money on butter and eggs, says
low profits are rules where produce
is concerned. The remedy, he adds,
is to place shipments in reduced form.
Talking of concentration to the
Boise Statesman, he is quoted as say
ing "there are many ways of con-
centra ting produce First in the case
of hay of which Idaho has an abund-
ance this year, it can be most profit
ably concentrated in milk. In other
words the farmer feeds his hay to
cattle. In case of milk it is more
profitable for the producer to ship
the pure butter fat and to feed the
rest to the hens. Increased egg pro-
duction will repay him, and he will
ship his milk so to speak in the con-
centrated form of eggs.'
In like manner Professor Moore
speaks of grains as feed for hogs.
Prem is determined to do his best for
the farmer and his wife Pork can be
shipped in concentrated form. The
whole business resolves itself into a
regular system of obtaining the
reasonable profits that should accrue
from the labor placed on produce and
stock. More hogs, more dairy cattle,
and more hens are needed in Latah
county, and this applies to Idaho
A slight reduction in freight rates,
in his opinion, would mean prosperity
to the farmer and his wife. And the
farmer and his wife have DOTTED their
hats to Prem Moore, the fighting pro-
fessor of the University of Idaho

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
OFFICE SLATED FOR CITY

H L. Richards of this city, who is
superintendent of vocational training
federal department has been in Lewis
ton in the interests of the soldiers
sailors, and marines, and their fam
lilies. He is looking for men who de-
sire to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered at the training CEN
ters and camps. He is specially try
ing to find out why it is number
do not seek the training.
The local posts of the American
Legion are being visited during his
itinerary of the cities in his bailiwick,
and also the Home service depart
ments of the Red Cross. The soldier,
sailor, and marine is told distinctly
that the movement on behalf of the
disabled world war men, and those
who are sick, is not to be looked on
as charity. 1t is rather duty due
the men who served Uncle Sam in the
world war.
Ex-Service men may soon be class
ed under the public health service,
and be enabled to get in direct touch
with the physicians. An office is to
be opened by Captain Fisher of Sc
attic of the service in Moscow shortly.

PLANS OF ASSESSORS
TAKES IN ALL OF COUNTY

George Vennigerholz, deputy as
SCISSOR, began the work Friday of
drawing the maps of the plats in the
cities of Latah county which maps
will be used by the assessors in get
ting over the respective territories.
The old maps were soiled and some
in two parts, necessitating the new
work. The plats show all places to
be covered and give the assessors the
locations in a flash.
The first map to be drawn is Troy.
Maps of Juliaetta, Kendrick, Genesee,
Potlatch, Deary, and Bovill will fol-
low. This is work that is only COM
parable to the time spent for econ
omic reasons in making the assess
ments on structly business basis
There can be no neglect by such a
system and the results spell equiliza-
ton. The taxpayers by this summary
are given square deal in their re-
spective trritories.
The complete statistical report
given of the valuations of Latah coun-
ty by Homer E. Estes, district court
clerk, and auditor, has given great
satisfaction to the taxpayers who
were loud in their praise, Friday.

FAMOUS MINING MAN
VISITS IN MOSCOW
COLORADO CARNOTITE MAN A
WORKER FOR SHALE ROCK
VISITS A MINE.

Charles Ward, companion pros
pectOr and friend of J. w. Wade, the
two men of Carrusco, Colorado, who
frs discovered carnotite in Moab,
passed thru here Friday in his Ford
enroute to the Mineral Point section
mine south of Osborn. "Carnotite'
Charlie as he is called said Friday
morning to the Star-Mirror that a
deal of carnotite ore was being turn
ed out in the CarriscO mountains in
Colorado, but tons of it were required
to pan out particles of the constitu-
ents of radium.
Referring to the government report
on shale oil, he said many companies
had been formed to work shale rock
but all were waiting on the expert
ments being conducted in south
western Colorado on the Scotch
American retort plan, plan that
obtained for shale oil, parafine, and
white wax the three paying features
of shale working. He showed by the
government report quoting the same
s'that a complete retorting plant,
handling 1000 tons of shale per day
would cost between $1,000,000 and
S., ,0OO, 900"
"Carnotite Charlie" said further,
again referring to the government
report that eff the average shale
yielded AZ gallons of oil per ton it
would probably require 1900 such
plants operating 365 days year to
supply the volume of crude oil that
was consumed in this country in
1920" Idaho and Washington, he
added, could have a new industry if
the experiments in Colorado turn out
right. Montana and Nevada have
actually began the work of treating
shale rock, and these plants are also
being watched.
Mr. Ward is a pioneer mining man,
and he and Wade first made carnotite
paying proposition. He will return
here in few days enroute to Monta-
ma, and will go from there to Colora-
do. He hopes to pay visit to the
school of mines at Idaho university on
his return

GOOD SHORTHORNS A
PAYING INVESTMENT
WILLIAMSON SELLS CHOICEST
ANIMALS FROM HIS STOCK
TO LIVE BREEDERS.

"This country is in need of blooded
stock" said Nat Williamson to the
Star Mirror Friday morning. 'Good
bulls are in much demand. A good
sire on every farm should be the
slogan for the perfecting of the herds.
Pure bred Shorthorn bulls show acti-
witty in the markets within the last
few days" He said further that be-
tween haying and harvesting time he
delivered to two well posted breeders
in particular two very promising
richly bred bulls:
Cumberland Once More" a year.
ling sired by Choice Cumberland was
a several times grand champion by
Cumberland Again, and the dam is
one of Williamson's choicest cows of
the Cruickshank Songstress family.
Cumberland Once-More is a thick
massive calf and will make a great
bull. He went to Jackshea and Shar-
back of the Uniontown section, and
sold for a cash considera ton of $3.50
which Williamson says is less than one
half calf of this breeding and indi-
vidually could be gotten for in the
eastern and middle states. Jackshea
and Sharback are to be congratulated
for their enterprise in getting this
Mr. Swales, the noted hog breeder,
near Johnson, buys Villagers Sample,
grandson of Imp Villagar sired by
Villagers Pickett, one of Williamsons
herd bulls sired by Imp Villagar, Dam
Imp Bessie, the 41st. Villagers
Sample is a nice deep red with white
markings, an excellent individual. This
dam is of the Mitchell Matilda fam
lily and is one of Williamson's best
breeding cows, and considers her one
of the cheapest cows in the herd, even
if he did pay $1525 for her. This
calf has gone into good hands.
Mr.. Swales has mades success of
hogs. He has made no mistake IN en-
gaging in the breeding of the most
profitable as well as the best cattle
o earth, the Scotch Shorthorn. Mr..
Williamson is for good sire on every
farm in Latah county.

COUNTY HEARING TO
Be HELD BY FLETCHER
CONDITIONS AND PRICES FORM
MAIN FEATURES WITH ALL
FARMERS PROBLEMS.

The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has requested that an agri-
cultural hearing be held in every
county in the United States. The
County Agent o. S. Fletcher is tc
take charge of these hearings and is
asked to assume the role of Prose
cutting Attorney and questions far
mers representing each kind of crops
produced in order to draw from the
farmer his opinion as to causes for
existing conditions.
The facts brought out by these
hearings will be presented by the
American Farm Bureau Federation to
a joint commission of Agricultural
Inquiry made up of five Senators and
five Representatives, now being held
in Washington D. C. By act of Con-
gress said commission was created to
investigate and report to Congress
upon the following subjects: First, the
cause of the present condition of agri-
culture; Second, the cause of the diff
ference between the prics of agricul-
tural products paid to the producer
and the ultimate cost to the con-
sumer; Third, the comparative con-
dition of industries otherthan agri
cultural; Fourth, the relation of price
of commodities other than agr1-
cultural products, to such products;
Fifth, the banking and financial re-
sources and credits of the country,
especially as effecting agricultural
credit; Sixth, marketing and trans
portation of facilities of the country.
The Commission is to include in its
report recommendation for legisla-
ton which in it's opinion will tend to
remedy existing conditions and shall
specifically report upon the hm1ta-
tions of the powers of Congress in
enacting relief legislation. The Com
mission is composed of the following:
Representatives Sydna Anderson of
Minnesota, Chairman, Frank H.
Funk of Illinois, Ogden L. Mills of
New York, Peter G. TenEyck of New
York, Hatton w. Summers of Texas
and Senators, Irvine L. Lenroot, of
Wisconsin, Arthur Capper of Kansas,
Charles l.. McNary of Oregon, Joseph
#. Robinson of Arkansas and Pat
Harrison of Mississippi.
Secretary Ross of the Idaho Farm
Bureau Federation says these reports
are arriving daily and the outstanding
problems in this intermountain coun-
try developed by these hearings, are,
high freight rates, bad distribution,
finance, failure of the retail trade to |
reduce ther price below war period,
which is the cause of the apparent
buyers strike. AS result all the |
sacrifice made by the farmer in pro-
ducing his crops at loss, simply goes
to swell the profits of the retailer,
and pay the increase in freight rates
of the railroads, Molly -Coddled by the I
Government.
