American Association Show.
The Panhandle Poultry association
is a chartered organization of the
American Poultry association so that
the annual show will be recognized
as an official American poultry as
sociation show.
The show last year was the first
held since the war. The number of
exhibitors were large and considerable
interest was taken in Moscow, Latah
county and the entire northern part
of the state. Plans this year call for
an even larger show with a much
larger number of poultry ON exhibi-
ton.
Poultry fanciers in Moscow have al
ready signified their intentions to back
the show to the limit Prize winning
birds of last year will re-enter and
the competition is expected to be un-
usually keen from all sections of north
idaho.

SNOWFALL Continues
Throughout Northwest

The storm which has held the entire
northwest in its grip for the past four
ldays continues unabated as The Star
Mirror goes to press, with snow, which
has now. reached a depth of about
18 inches, falling steadily. Coupled
with the snow fall there has been more
Ior less wind, causing considerable
drifting in some sections, and block
ing some of the roads, as we'll as de-
laying railroad traffic The weather
has not been extremely cold at any
time, the mercury being at least ten
above zero at the lowest point reached.
The Northern Pacific passenger
trains have been running slightly be-
hind schedule, but the Spokane and
Inland, which passes through a num-
Der of deep cuts between Moscow and
Palouse, has been tied up for several
hours on a number of occasions since
the storm started.
The Moscow-Lewiston stage is still
although there are some
heavy drifts to negotiate and there
are said to be some heavy drifts on
the Spokane run between Colfax and
Rosalia.
Until the snow settles and roads
are opened there will be comparatively
little traffic. 80

TO BE STAGED TONIGHT

O'Clock in Eggan's hall. The annual
smoker to be given tonight promises
to eclipse all former smokers in ex-
cellence of boxing and wrestling pro-
grams and general stunts. All of the
boxing bouts are between Pullman and
Moscow men and it is reasonable to
anticipate that the bouts will exceed

while events.

135 pound bout. In the 145 pound
class Terry Burns and Buff :"

Moscow-A. P.)-Minister of War
Trotzky and Leo Kameneff, president
of the Moscow Soviet, in recent pub
lie addresses in this city, repeated
previous assurances as to Russia s
readiness to reduce her army provid-
ing other states would do the same
thing.
The occasion was a gathering Of
delegates to the Third Internationale.
Trotzky announced that the Soviet
government :" is ready and eager to
cut its armed forces in half, or even
to one-tenth of the present strength,
provided other countries would agree
to similar reductions" The war
minister expressed the hope that the
outcome of the disarmament confer
ence to be held in Moscow within
month would result in reduction of
the armies of the Balkan states
Kameneff said he had message to
the world Russia" he declared, is
indeed eager for peace and is pre-
pared at any time to reduce her fight
ing forces, if given guarantees by
other countries. But in making
these proposals." he continued, it
must be understood that because of
our strength we would refuse any
which might tend to hum
Iiate Soviet Russia
"This is no idle boast and day by
lay we are showing greater strength
n communism, greater constructive
ability in reorganization of the coun-
ry and in re-establishing ourselves
A review of the Red army followed
hese speeches The troops defiied
past a large reviewing stand. 'rhe
Ioscow garrison headed the parade, |
md included cavalry, heavy and light |
rtillery, machine gun outfits, tanks, |
rmored cars, and anti-aircraft guns; |
hen there followed droves of factory |
nd railroad workers armed with I
ifes, thousands of trade unionists, /
nd many children.
The parade has been described as
he greatest military turnout ever at
empted by the Soviet government. 1t

.POST0FFICE PREPARES
FOR CHRISTMAS RUSH

Postmaster Homer K. Estes is or
ganizing his forces to take care of
the annual Christmas rush in such a
way as to give the best service to
the patrons of the local office. Al
ready the early packages, going to
relatives and friends at a distance, are
making their appearance, and the
yolumns will steadily increase from
now on The peak, for the out going
packages will probably be reached
about week before Christmas Most
of the incoming packages will reach
the Moscow office the last two or three
days before Christmas, and there is
every reason to believe that the vol
ume received will be sufficient to
keep the office force and the carriers
reasonably busy.
1t is urged that people mail their
packages as early as possible and
that every care be used in preparing
and addressing the packages.
Suggestions are that packages be
well wrapped and that special care be
taken to write or print the address
plainly it being preferred that ink be
used. A return address should al
ways be put on the package, appear-
ing in the upper left corner The
address should also be attached to the
article itself inside the wrapper, so
that, in case of the wrapper being
torn off, the article may still reach
it's destination.
If contents of a package are per-
ishable or fragile, they should be so
marked. Articles liable to break !
should be packed in strong containers
Of some sort
1t is suggested that articles be in (
sured as this prevents loss, and the I
cost is very small
