Away to Mars went the Twins to
hunt for Mother Goose's lost broom.
Mars is a star, a big red one, and
you can see it most any night when
the moon isn't too bright, or the
clouds too thick, or the air too foggy.
Well-that where the Twins
went.
The first person they saw was a
square man who stared at them in a
most unmannerly way.
"Helloi" called Nick. rs this
Mars?"

in a jerky voice.
We'll, we're hunting for Mother
Goose's broom" Nick told him. Did

"Once," answered the square man
stiffly.

eagerly.
"Yes!" answered the man. Only
about a hundred years ago.. She

CITY BRIEFS,

The fact that about twenty-five
new ballot boxes have been placed
in the vestibule of the city hall,
awaiting election day. is ample evil
dence of a large vote in the city this
year.
The progress of the construction
of the Y. NJ. H. A., Icons "sky-
scraper," and st. Mary's High School
seem evident that all three buildings
will be completed about the same
time.
Following a report of the trus-
tees with regard to purchasing the
former Home for the Aged property
in High street for a club house and
meeting place the Perth Amboy
Aerie, No. 1886. Fraternal Order OF
Eagles, turned down the proposition.
The location was said to have been
the best yet that the committee had
found so far, but the building being
old it would cost considerable to
put it in shape for the use of the
organization, it is said. The COM
mittee was continued in an effort to
either find a place suitable or for the
purchase of property on which to
erect a new home. There was a
large gathering of members out at
this time when a report of the re-
cent smoker was given by the COM
mittee in charge of hal event.
The way the contributions for the
Armistice Day celebration are roll
ing in, there is ne doubt but that this
years fete will be the greatest ever.

BUY WOOD STOCK
PURITY CREAMERY
JACK WILLIAMSON AND r. j. SAT-
FORD, PURCHASERS S-COMPANY
BUYING MUCH CREAM

A deal was closed Thursday even
ing whereby Jack Williamson and R.
J. Stafford become the owners of the
stock in the Purity Creamery COM
pany, held by R. G. Wood. The stock
is now held by N. Williamson, we'll
known business man and breeder of
purebred stock, his son, Jack and Mr.
Stafford. There will be no change in
the management and Mr.. Wood will
remain with the company as an en-
p1oy indefinitely.
The business of the company has
developed steadily since it's inception
last fall, and Mr.. Williamson informs
The Star-Mirrer that a ton of butter
is being churned daily now and that
the company is paying out from $500
to 5000 per day for cream, to farmers
within radius of SO to so miles of
Moscow. Six hundred gallons of ice
cream are being made daily during
the summer season and shipped to the
various Inland Empire towns.
The growth of the business now de-
pends very largely on the ability to
secure cream, but it is believed that
the next few months will see mark
ed increase in the number of dairy
cows in the territory.

CORPORATIONS MUST
GIVE UNIFORM REPORTS

In an order issued Tuesday the
Idaho public utilities commission
adopted the uniform system of ac-
counts for electrical coporations, as
prepared and recommended for adop-
ton by the state commissions at the
annual meeting of the National ass
ociation of Railway and Utility COM
missioners at Washington, November
II, 1920, says the Statesman
The order is known as general ord
er No. 20, and supersedes the system
of accounting for electrical utilities
provided for in general order No. Z
of the commission, dated October 27,
1913
All electrical utilities operating in
the state are obliged to use the new
system after January 1, 1928, and all
reports to the commission after that
date will have to be made in accord
ance with the requirements laid down
in the system.
The order of the commission states
that the system is adopted as it now
stands, but that further hearing will
be held October Is, 1922, to consider
if there be any at that
time.
Several other western states have
the system, which was rec
commended by the national association
because of the many electrical util-
tiles doing business in more than one
state, and being required to conform
TO the method of keeping and report
ing accounts used in each of the re-
spective states.
The hearing at which the Idaho
received testimony in sup
port of or against the system was held
in Boise last June s.

Is PLACE OF BEAUTY

There are many beautiful and well
kept lawns and yards in Moscow and
several that deserve special mention
but one of special beauty is the large
courthouse lawn, cared for by the
venerable janitor, John Canham. Mr.
Canham has planted more than 100
rose bushes of various varieties and
has cared for them until now they
are loaded with beautiful roses.
While the roses are many and Won
defully beautiful in their gorgeous

the only flower there. Then there is
the large lawn, of velvet green, well
kept and a place of beauty. Latah
county is indeed fortunate to have

OFFICIAL MEXICO
WATCHES VILLA
DOUBTS EXPRESSED AS TO HON.
ESTY OF HIS CLAIM TO BE
GENTLEMAN FARMER

! Mexico, City, CA. P.)-Despite his
repeated assurances that he is no
longer bandit but gentleman farm
er OF the state of Durango, the move
ments of Francisco Villa are being
closely watched in official circles
here. To some observers it is diff
lcult to believe that this former guer-
rilla has accustomed himself to the
routine of ranch life and is now find .
ing in his growing crops and lowing
herds the contenment that man of
his tremendous nervous energy deriv-
ed in the past from daring deeds Of
warfare.
Is Villa the staunch friend of the
Obregon administration that his
friends claim for him? Will Villa
stay out of politics and play no part
in the forthcoming congressional elc-
tions? In the event of a serious
threat against Obregon's power would
Villa rally his 1000 ranchers in te-
half of the president or would he
lead his men in new revolution?
These are the frequent questions of
the street here and the answers are
as varied as those who make reply.
The pacification of Villa is pro-
claimed by the friends of Provision
al President de la Huerta as the ole
big achievement of his short admin
istration in 1920. To secure the
peace pact with the famous bandit it
was necessary for the Mexican gov
ernment to grant him an extensive
tract of land on which his faithful
followers, numbering 1000, might
work and prosper. There was also
transfer of considerable cash which
Villa said he needed to develop his
new ranches. 1t is also understood
that one of the stipulation of the
agreement was that Villa was to stay
out of politics.
Villa settled in the state Of Dur
ango and the few persons who have
visited his hacienda report that he is
an enthusiastic farmer. OF late, how
ever, stories have been creeping out
OF the north to the effect that fur
rowed fields and blooded dairy stock
are commencing to pail and that to
relieve the monotony, the captor of
Columbus is mixing just a trifle in
the state politics of Durango. Some
reports are that he has been asked
to run for governor and has consent
ed, but persons close to the man deny
the rumors. No matter what the facts
the uncertainty Of Villas action is
considerable comment in the
capital which within the past two
months has been put on the pui vive
several times by authentic" state
nents that the Durango rancher was
IN his way to Mexico City to consult
With his president. He has never ar
lived and there is small possibility
hat he will come.
All of which has merely served to
'evlve the months old questioning
will Villa stand fast no matter what
might arise in Mexico City?
+ one is to believe stories of Villas
leayy investments in oil drilling out
its and his rumored plans to rebuild
stockyard and packing house at
Jiudad Juarex which his men destroy
ID several years ago, there is reason
0 think that the CanutillO farmer is
ust that and nothing more. On the
ther hand, visitors at the ranch say
hat the Canutillo arsenal is well sup
lied with arms and ammunition But,
s they say Villa must arm himself
D protect his ranch from bandite.
