Name "DeviI Fish" Is Appro-
pirate for Sea Monster

Many authors have written thrilling
descriptions Of the devil hsh, and al.
though scientists declare that usually
these accounts are exaggerated. they
admit that the creature has many curt
Gus TEXTURES.
The devil fish varies In length from
inch to 10 feet, but very few speci-
mems Of the largest kind have been
found and none of these was in per-
feet condition owing to the fierce at
tacks Of whales and other monsters
of the deep.
They are provided with sucker arms
or tentacles. with which they catch the
small fish on which they live. These
arms are tremendously strong, and, In
addition, the devil fish Is armed with a
sharp parrotlike beak. In spite Of
these formidable weapons, however,
the creatures, while cruel, are very
timid and easily cowed, says a writer
In London Tit-Bits.
The smaller devil fish swim in shoals,
and as they move they change their
color according to their surroundings.
They have another device which en-
ables them to escape when hard
pressed. Thas Is the ink bag, by means
Of which they can pour out dark
fluid which makes the sea around them
thick and cloudy.
In appearance the devil fish Is a
loathsome creature, for its long, wrlth-
ing arms and fixed, stony stare are
terrifying In the extreme.
Besides being able to swim, 1t can
crawl along the sea bottom on its
feelers. 1t lies In some crack In the
rocks and as soon as a fish passes its
hiding place Its feelers shoot out with
amazing speed. Once the suckers have
touched the victim there is no escape,
and it is drawn quickly into the great
mouth.

Wise political heads say much pro-
gress toward bringing straight wet
and dry issue between the two exist
ing parties has already been made
and an unofficial but wide accept
ance of the Democrats as wet, and
of the Republicans as dry, played a
big part in Tuesdays returns. Dry
leaders, it is claimed in some quar-
ters, have in the last two years man
euvered the situation into limited
popular acceptance Of the view that
the Republican party is the dry par
ty. Its platform in 1920 was dry and
its leaders have been dry. All of
those who were defeated Tuesday
were dry, says Washington corre-

If we look for failure and mini
mum accomplishment we shall meet
them and nothing better. On the
other hand, if we confidently expect
success and work intelligently E.
nough and hard enough and long e.
nough, we are bound to succeed
perhaps beyond our most sanguine
dreams. To be sure failure will come
at times but it need be no more than
temporary, incidental failure. If
ones mental attitude is right mere
failure or two will never keep him
down but will rather spur him on
until at last he wins.

While two neighbors were absent

residences; the loot taken consisting
Of money, jewels and clothing valued
at $1,000. Bob Gant's dogs trailed
the robbers to a point on the street
where it is supposed the thieves had
an automobile in waiting. No ar

Paper pulp, ether, alcohol, oil,

some of the products made from the
southern water hyacinth so much
dreaded by the navigator of the bay
Gus and looked upon as a nuisance
by irrigation men. The plant chokes
the smaller streams of Louisiana,
blocking navigation. The enormous
volume, rapid growth and cheapness
of the raw material will prove a

1t is estimated that the colored
races of the earth out-number the
white about IL to l. The birth rate
of the whites has steadily decreased,
Germany, we believe, being the only
white country where the birth rate
is still high, and this despite the
ravages of war. Japan has removed
the barrier against second marriages
and the birth rate in that country
may be expected to increase as re-
suit. These things are worthy OF
serious consideration.

better off in a home Of our own, and

Too many people who really could
build are not doing so. They are
missing the privileges Of home

BRICK COMPANY
BUSINESS GROWS
COMPANY HAS 80 MEN ON
PAYR0LL-ORDER PILE UP
FOR PRODUCTS OF PLANT

The Moscow Fire Brick & Clay Pro-
ducts company has more orders on
the hook with the opening of spring
this year than ever before in the his
tory of the company, and the prospects
for the establishment of an import
ant and permanent industry were
never so bright as at the present
time. Orders for the products of the
plant have been coming in so rapidly
that it has been necessary to increase
the crew both at the plant and at the
clay pit, at Joel. There are now 20
men employed at the two places and
Tom Hall, president and manager of
the company, informs The Star-Mirror
that this number will be increased to
80 within the next two weeks. 1t is
expected that the payroll of 80 or
more will be maintained then through
out the year.
The officers of the company, of
which Mr.. Hall is president and
manager, and H. B. Mickey, secretary
and treasurer, with ]. T. Allen, Fred
Miller and ]. Liefenbach, on the board
of directors, take pride, and justly
so, in the fact that the stock is owned
entirely by local men and that the
company does not spend one dollar
for supplies of any kind, with the ex-
ception of coal, outside of the city of
Moscow. This fact, with the grow
ing payroll, makes the industry one
of the most important in the city.
Many Orders on File
When representative of The Star
Mirror called at the plant Monday
morning, Mr.. Hall stated that never
before had the business looked as
good as it does now. There are
orders on file for more than a half
million brick, while the company has
quoted prices on more than another
half million, and expects to receive
the orders. There are orders, or re-
quests for prices, for 100000 fire
brick and 300, 900 building brick The
following are some of the places from
which large orders are now on file:
Gray's Harbor, Aberdeen, Pomeroy,
Tacoma, Lester, Parkwater, N. P.
Railway Company, Tacoma Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry. Co., Seattle;
Denison Tile Corporation, Seattle;
Spokane, Bellingham, Everett; all in
Washington. There are also orders
from Portland, Oregon, and Lewiston,
Idaho, as well as local orders.
The brick shipped to the railroad
companies is used IN founderies, boil
ers and locomotives, where there is
intense and continuous heat The
is also making carload OF
stove Innings for the Majestic COM
pany, at Seattle, to be used in fur
naces turned out by the company.
There is an order for 10000 special
select brick, from Porter Brothers,
contractors at Spokane, and $4,000
special fire brick for Lewiston.
The company, during the past win
ter, has manufactured a number of
different colors of face brick, tile, etc,
for use in trimming buildings, or IN
fireplace, or other decorative work.
In order to take care of the demand
for common brick, the Moscow Fire
Brick & Clay Products Co has taken
over all of the output of the Graham
brick yard, in this city.
Mr. Hall informs The Star-Mirror
that there are number of local peo-
pie, both in the city and in the sur
rounding country, who are expecting
to build brick houses during the COM
ing summer.

GIVEN JOE BUNNEY
SUSPENSION OF JAIL TERM Al
LOWED FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR
OLD CASE FINALLY SETTLED.

Joe Bunney was given a suspended
Jail sentence of so days by Judge e.
c. Steele in the district court late
Saturday afternoon, dependent upon
Bunney's good behavior. Defendant
pleaded guilty of taking an auto
mobile with the intent to temporarily
deprive the owner of possession. The
court allowed Bunney to change his
first plea of not guilty to charge of
grand larceny.

eral terms of court Under the ses-
sion laws of 1921 Bunney pleaded
guilty to a violation of the statute
aimed at 'joy-riders' or those who
take automobiles with the intent to
return them to their owners.
Auto Owned by Matthews
The car stolen by Bunney was own
ed by H. b. Matthews of the Moscow
high school. The car was taken some
time last summer and was later re-
turned to the owner after Bunney had
taken trip to the coast. Bunney
after the trip returned to Princeton
where he was arrested and the case
has been hanging fire until it's final
disposition Saturday afternoon.

be allowed to change his plea in
order to enter a plea of guilty of TAX
ing the car with intent to only tenn
porrarly deprive the owner of posses
sion. The court allowed the change
of pleas and for good cause suspend
ed the sentence of so days in the
county Jail on the condition of Bun
ney's good behavior.
