AFFIDAVIT Brings
Coveted LICENSE

Walter DeVaul, aged 80, and Nina
Moore, II, were married today by
Probate Judge Adrian Nelson, in his
offices at the court house Both are
from Potlatch and they, were accom-
panied by the youthful brides grand
mother, Mrs. James Howard, also of
Potlatch. The couple appeared at the
court house early this afternoon and
asked for a license Because of the
girl being under age and the parents
not being present, the license was re-
fused, at the county auditors office
Judge Nelson was then consulted, but
had no solution to offer.
The refusal of the license seemed to
be severe blow to both the young
lady and the man, who is not so
young, and, with the grandmother,
they came down town and spent some
time in consultation But true love
will always find way, and the grand
mother, with whom the girl has been
making her home, and who had in
formed the officials that she had re-
ceived letter from the father, in
Montana, giving his consent, but had
left the letter at home, decided that
her affidavit to that fact ought to
satisfy any county auditor, even
though he were as hard hearted as
Harry Thatcher. Accordingly they re-
traced their steps to the court house,
and on the affidavit of the grand
mother, the license was issued, after
which Judge Nelson tied the matri-
monial knot and the triumphant and
happy couple departed for their home,
taking with them the best wishes of
the entire court house family.

THREE REPUBLICANS
In RACE FOR SHERIFF

Two more names have been added
since yesterday to the list of those
who will be candidates for county
offices Edward H. Mcconnell, well
known Moscow boy, son of Mr.. an
Mrs E. T. Mcconnell, has filed as a
candidate for sheriff, making three
republican contestants for that posi-
ton. Mr.. Mcconnell has spent most
of his life in Moscow. He is an ex-
service man and is active in the af-
fairs of Dudley Loomis post, Ameri-
can Legion.
Burton G. Rowe filed this morning
for the republican nomination for
county assessor, contesting for the
nomination with E. j.. Gemmill, the
present assessor. Mr.. Rowe has been
"a resident of Moscow and Latah coun-
ty for many years, living for a num-
Der of years at Princeton, where he
was engaged in farming and where he
took considerable interest in republi-
can politics, serving as republican
committeeman at that place for some
years.
So far no candidates have filed for
Legislative offices in either party, and
only one democratic candidate, Frank
L. Moore, for prosecuting attorney,
has filed. 1t is understood, however,
that both parties expect to have COM
'plete tickets in the field. There are
but two days left in which to file.

WOOD WORKER GOES
FROM BUGGY TO AUTO

Chris Anderson, pioneer wood work
er and painter, whose shop is at the
rear Of the ZumhOff & Collins black
smith shop, on Main street, who
painted probably 80 per cent of the
buggles which were treated to a new
coat of paint in Moscow from 1895
until the automobile put the buggy
in the discard, stated to Star-Mirror
representative Wednesday that only
by stopping and taking mental
glance into the past could he realize
the change that the new condi-
tions has brought to his business In
stead of putting the wood worker and
painter out of business, the automo
bile has opened up a greater volume
of business and Mr. Anderson states
that he is busy from early morning
until late at night.
Some two years ago Mr.. Anderson
painted his last buggy and since then
he has been turning automobiles. out
of his paint shop with gloss that
makes them look like new, no matter
how much the operations of the en-
gine might belle the appearance of
the car. Mr.. Anderson has just COM
pleted painting his 18th car this
season.
Another line of work which is now
coming is the repairing and building
of automobile wheels. The veteran
states that people are
now just finding out that the local
can repair, or, if neces
sary build a new automobile wheel,
and the volume of work along this
line is in excess of the volume which
the wagon and buggy brought to the
shop years ago.
The wagon maker and painter, who
depended on the wagon and the buggy
to keep him busy few years ago,
has not lost anything in volume Of
business by the advent of the automo-
ole. Mr.. Anderson states.

SHEPPARD-TOWNERD
ACT IS DISCUSSED
CHIEF OF NATIONAL CHILD
REN'S BUREAU TELLS NEED
OF PROTECTION

Chautauqua, ~ Y, CA. P)-Urg-
ing her hearers to labor to reduce
needless and tragic deaths among
mothers and infants, Miss Grace Abb
bott, chief of the federation child
ren's bureau of the United States de-
partment of labor, today addressed
the delegates to the General Fedora
tion of Women's clubs.
Her subject was the Sheppard
Towner act and the responsibility of
club women in promoting the welfare
of children After reviewing the his
tory of this federal measure Miss Abb
bott turned her attention to the ex-
listing situation in various states Of
the union.
"In the first place." she said, "it is
imOSSible for any state to know its
own problem-when and why and
where babies and mothers die until
the state adequately registers births
and deaths. There are still three
states, Arizona, Nevada and South
Dakota, which have not adopted the
model law to this end and sixteen
others, Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, To-
wa Louisiana, Missouri New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
0AdS anu w cSI RlISluId, WHICH, III
though they have adopted the model
law are still not adequately register
ing the births of children and are
therefore not included in the birth
registration area. 1t ought to be
possible for you to use the Sheppard
Towner act as a new lever IN secur- |
ing the passage of model laws as
well as their enforcement after they
are passed.
'sAs for what should be done in your
individual states there can be no
single model plan, because conditions
differ so widely in our 4S states.
Everywhere, however the program
will be largely education and demon
stration for mothers and prospective
mothers; their own welfare and that
Of their children are of immediate
without their cooperation
the program must necessarily fab.
What part the organized club move
nent can take in interesting the in
1ividual mothers will depend on local
Leadership in the whole
matter rests in most states, with the
state commissioner of health and with
the director of the child hygiene div
sion in the state department of
health. A good working relationship
with these officers is a first reGu1-
site.
cit may be necessary to make quite
clear what those of us who have
worked with you SO well, that the
sole interest Of the women in the
5heppard-Towner actis that it shall
fulfill the purpose for which they
Urged it's ssage-reduce the need
ess and tragic deaths among lnotn-
srs and infants; that they desire
neither credit nor prestige for them {
selves or their clubs, but that they '
must be able to say that they did what t
hey could toward this end. {
81 hope that wherever local pcli- ]
les, whether medical, party or per- s
onal, have hampered the develop {
nent of your state health program, t
his new interest of the women III our
oint undertaking to reduce the nor I
ality among mothers and babies is
oing to give new backing TO the
nerit principle in the work .

Requests have been mailed to ranchers and members of the com mittoe on exhibits, asking them to send us views of farm scenes and also of the roads of their sections. If we can, secure a suitable quantity of views of this kind we shall have the scenes transferred on glass slides and flash them on a screen in the hall during each evenings per formance.
 "A picture display of this kind will help to demonstrate the stage to which our farming industry has progressed, the nature of our pres ent roads, and the need for more and better roads. No one com munity or district will be favored in the form of publicity. Each sec furnishing suitable views will be given a reasonable number of slides. The A. B.

ARMY TRANSPORT BRINGS PASSENGERS

The U. s. Army transport Gener- al J. w. Jacobs, Captain Bergman, commanding, arrived in Nenana re- gently from Fort Gibbon, accord . ing to the Nenana News, bringing a number of Army people who are on their way to the States. The Jacobs will go into winter quarters at Me- mana at the end of the present season, according to present plans. It also had been intended to send the transport Davis to Nenana, to be in readiness to operate in connection with the Alaska Railroad next spring but it was decided at the last mIom- ent to leave that boat on the ways at Fort Gibbon.
 The Jacobs brought a full load to Nenana from the army town, the cargo consisting largely of the necessary material for constructing
