LIQUOR fines PAY Law
ENFORCEMET COSTS

Philadelphia-(A. P.) - Revenues
from the national prohibition act
should pay many times over for the
$10,000,000 appropriated for the en-
forcement of the dry laws during the
coming year, Prohibition Commission
er Haynes declared in an address to-
night before the dry enforcement meet
ing.
"It would be interesting to the
people to know he said, "that if we
were to collect the fines, penalties
and special tax imposed upon violat-
ors of the law in the first six months
of this administration, they would
more than pay two and one-half times
the estimated cost of enforcing the
prohibition laws for the next year.
These enormous figures do not in
clude nearly $3,000000 in bonds that
are being forfeited to the government,
or $2,000,000 that have been offered IN
compromise by 81 of the large violat-
ors of the law, and do not include
the $6,000000 in differential or pro-
hibition tax that has been referred to
previously"
Mr. Haynes declared that after 10
months of renewed effort to restrict
good liquor into legitimate channels,
the result lis perhaps as nearly
achieved as possible"

CITY WILL STOP ALL
SPEEDING ON STREETS

The city authorities announce that
it is the purpose hereafter to enforce
the city ordinance regulating traffic
This affects speeding, parking and
cutting corners. With the coming of
spring, and the attendant increase in
automobile traffic, it is realized that
the danger from accidents increases
and it is the purpose of the police de-
partment to strictly enforce these
ordinances.
Third street is looked upon as an
especially dangerous place for fast
driving, because of the schools. 1t
is the main artery of travel east and
west in the city, however, and is fire.
quently the scene of fast driving. The
council recently passed an ordinance
prohibiting parking between Jeffer-
son and Van Buren, streets, on Third,
for the protection of the school chill

Another ordinance which there is a
tendency to violate, according to a
statement made to the Star-Mirror by
Chief Robbins, is the chicken ordi-
nance, which prohibits the owners of
chickens from allowing them to run
at large. This ordinance. he states,
will also be strictly enforced

sentatives of the Spokane chamber OF

SCARCITY OF CLOTHING
ELIMINATES FASHION WORRY

Odessa-(A.P P.)-Spring fashions dc
not bother the women of Odessa. They
have no new fashion journals nor
cloth with which to make new dress
es. Women sometimes have a hat
and few yards of rough cloth to
clothe themselves.
Undeclothing is an unknown quant
tity So are stockings for the un-
lucky Women who have cloaks or
furs wear them in day time but at
night leave them home. If they did
not they would be robbed in the dark
ened streets.
People who go to the theater travel
homewards in groups for protection.
This lack of clothing hits very hard
the younger girls. One of them said
to the correspondent: II should like
to go abroad, if only to get nice
clothes"
The older women in Russia, when
talking of the chance of ever getting
abroad, say, "After all, if we got
abroad we would be very poor and
feel our poverty more by the contrast.
Here we are all dressed alike and
more or less in rags and SO long as
we can get food enough, perhaps.lt is
best that we stay in Russia.

eign Minister Schanzer of Italy, in
tervened, however, and their concila-
tory attitude finally resulted in the
admittance of both the Russian and
the German delegations.

the principal conference committee,
which was to have considered Rus
sian affairs, Foreign Minister Chit
cherin of Russia, protested against
the presence of delegations from Rou-

the countries invited to the confer
ence had the right to be represented

R, c. M'CROSKEY
dies AT GARFIELD

Former Senator r. c.. McCroskey,
farmer, banker and educator, died
Monday at noon at his home in Gar
field, Washington, following stroke
of paralysis. Senator McCroskey had
returned the day previous from Olym-
pia, where he had been looking al
ter banking interests and visiting his
youngest son. 1t is thought that the
trip had tired him and that he was
still suffering some i'll effects from
injuries sustained few months ago
in a train wreck.
Senator McCroskey was one OF the
best known men in public life IN
Washington He had large farming
interests, which he conducted sue
.cessfully, was connected with num-
ber of banking institutions and had
been a member of the board of re-
gents of Washington State College
since 1897. He was an ardent demo-
crat and had -been prominent in the
councils of the party for many years.
None of Senator McCroskey's public
activities interested him so deeply, or
were given so much of his time, as
his work in connection with Wash
ington State College. His three sons
ana Two daughters dIe graduates
from the institution and it was sell
dom that he failed to be present at
a meeting of the board of regents
The new dormitory at the institution,
"R G. McCroskey Hail." was named
in his honor

of the Presbyterian church, OF the
Masonic lodge and of the knights of
Pythias He had celebrated his 77th

UNIVERSITY SHOW
DRAWS INTEREST

Much interest has been shown in
the return engagemnt of the clever
University of Idaho production Adam
and Eva," the three-act comedy
scheduled for Thursday night in the
university auditorium. The first
showing of the university play drew
a house of more than 500 people and
from the advance sale of tickets an
equally good crowd will greet the
stellar university actors on Thursday
night.
Tickets are now on sale at Hod-
gins where seats may be reserved. A
number of people were unable to see
the first performance and number
have expressed the wish to see the
clever comedy second time. The
lighting effect, one of the features of
the show, will enable everyone in
the audience to see every action of
the players. The enunciation of the
players is SO good that every line
is distinctly audible in all parts of
the university auditorium
The orchestra, which was such a
distinct feature at the first showing
Of the play here, will again furnish
music between the acts. The orches-
ira is to be made up of Miss Freda
Soulen, Miss Myra Armlluster, and
Miss Margaret Friedman
On May s, Adam and Eva" will be
given at Pullman for Washington

WINTER wheat
PROSPECTS FAIR

The 100000 acres of winter wheat
seed in Idaho last fall showed a con-
dition April 1 of 80 per cent of nor
NAL, according to the monthly report
Of Julius H. Jacobson, agricultural
statistican of the Idaho crop report
ing service.
This is a gain Of II points since De-
cember, when the last report on the
condition Of winter wheat was issued
A year ago the condition was 81 per
cent normal
Hog Industry Increases
Further gratifying evidence that
the hog industry is on the increase in
this state,' says Mr. Jacobon's re-
port, is indicated by an increase of
8 per cent in the number of breeding
sows April l compared with year
ago Northern counties show a 2 per
cent increase; ); western counties aver
age about 20 per cent Increase; south
ern and upper Snake river counties
report from 10 to II per cent decrease
compared with last year. Reports of
rather heavy losses in spring litters
so far seem general. Close confine-
ment because Of inclement weather is
the principal cause advanced.
THERE'S an abundance of farm la
bor, with farmers mostly unable to
hire because Of inability to finance
their labor requirements AS was the
case last year, they intend doing most
of their own work and exchanging
with neighbors where possible. The
per cent of supply to demand this
year is 1872, while last year it was
11S This is in marked contrast to
the years 1920, 1919 and 1918 when
the percent of supply to demand wos
IS, 88 and IA, respectively.
