The pig club idea has proven most

The pig club idea has proven most
successful as means of interesting
boys in stock raising and in crea-
ting in them desire to stay with the
farm and carry out the ideas which
they are taught through the club
work. On a number of farms profit
able herds of hogs have had their in
ception with the pig club movement
in which the boy became interested.
The pig club is worth while, both from
the standpoint of cash returns and
from the standpoint of interesting the
boy in farm life. 1t is gratifying to
note that number of clubs are being
formed in Latah county during the
present winter.

The sidewalks in Moscow have been
covered with glare of ice for the
past several weeks, much to the incon-
venience of the public and falls, some
times of aged persons, are daily oc-
currence 1t has been suggested to
The Star Mirror that it would meet
with the approval of the citizens If
the city would have the sidewalks, es-
pecially on the principal travelled
streets, sanded Another suggestion
is that the people make it point to
scatter ashes from their stoves and
furnaces on the walk in front of their |
own property.

st. Marks Episcopal church did a
nice thing when it gave 500 toward
the work of the University Christian
Federation. The support of this work
should be general from the religious
organizations of the city, and is also
deserving of the support of the citf-
zens generally. Last year, as we UNI
derstand it, the work was financed
largely by three organizations-the
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian
churches 1t is much better that the
work, in which all are interested,
should be financed by all.

The resolution adopted by the Mos
COW chamber of commerce. express
ing appreciation of the services of
Judge Morgareidge as postmaster,
met with general approval. The judge
has made a good postmaster has been
an energetic and ever faithful worker
in the chamber of commerce and is a
good citizen. 1t is a nice thing, when
offers, to express appre-
citation of a good public official or
public spirited citizen.

AN OBJECT LESSON
One of the most convincing argu-
ments for total abstinence would be
to give the people an opportunity to
inspect the stills in which the bootleg
whiskey is manufactured which are
n the custody of the sheriff A great
many do not differ from the ones ,
which were captured yesterday.
This receptacle for boiling the mash
S an old tim boiler, which evidently
las been used for the family wash
or the past generation, and the o
'olished surface having been worn \
way, allows the mash to come in di- ;
ect contact with the poisonous metal, :
which, in ITSELF would be very in ),
lrious to health.
A conspicuous thing about the stills 81
gently captured is that the attach Il
lentS to which the worm is connect o.
are all of similar make, showing m
1at they come from the same manu- IN
acturer. This man when placed on ~
ne stand will probably be able to
i've list of his patrons. -
The habitual drinker, in a majority =,
cases would became total alb ia
amer if he could see the way the at
quor is manufactured.-Co DIAL tn
