it is sound Workmanship, free from
any Fictitious or sensational trick
cry and depending for its values
upon the portrayal of everyday hu-
man nature.
He is also well inspired in keeping
to an atmosphere wherein he is at
home. A good deal of the story is
staged in law Offices and in court,
though they are but backgrounds.
But they make very good back
grounds, and comparatively few nov
elists of the more recent vintages
seem to have any real knowledge of
them. The essence of the book is a
study in marriage and in the possi-
bilities of the sudden development OF
character under stimulus. The hero,
Kenneth Granting, is at first a
futile, timid person who does not get
on, because, as the senior partner OF
the firm for which he is clerk ele-
gantly remarks, in the now quite
familiar phrase, "he hasn't any
CUTS" There isn't any fight in him
and he'll resort to almost any dodge
to get out of trying case"
But he marries, and ultimately, like
the traditional woodchuck, he
climbs, because he has to. The girl,
Miriam, who leads him to this lesson
is lovably feminine young woman,
but she was not primarily intended
by nature for poverty. The grad
ually increasing discomforts of not
having enough TO live on slowly
bring about minor conflicts, nerve
wracking disagreements and misun-
derstands between the couple, who
really love each other but who man
age to get on each others nerves

OF these there are two sets; one good
and one very bad. Interest centers
in old Aunt Peachy. who has been a
sort of Voodoo priestess and who has
managed to dominate her masters

FLOOR DENIES GUILT

Washington-(A. PA sweeping
declaration of his innocense was made
by Senator Newberry, republican, of
Michigan, today in the senate. TAX
ing the floor in his own defense in
the custer proceedings brought by
Henry Ford, defeated democratic can
didate, Newberry emphatically denied
personal knowledge of a collection or
expenditure of large campaign fund
in his behalf. He said LAS God is
my witness, l am not to this day

in connection with the primary cam
paign or election in 1918 in Michigan,
single act that was or is unlawful,
dishonorable, or corrupt and this l

Moscow about a year ago to make his
home, and has family of wife and
two children to support, is out of
work and has had none for two
months.
Due to disability received in the
service, he cannot do heavy work but
can do light tasks and is anxious for

call for too heavy physical strain. He
also is in need of immediate finan-

culties.
The American Legion has investi-
gated the case and announced it
worthy and is trying to assist their
buddy in locating job. His wife is
now in a delicate condition and CON
sequently unable to work.

BRING MOSCOW BOYS
Into POLICE court

Ten Moscow high school boys
charged with damaging property and
with disorderly conduct at recent uni
versity basketball games, were brought
up in police court this afternoon, the
case thrashed out, and the boys re-
leased after they individually made
pledges to Mayor Melgard that they
would be careful of their conduct in
the future.
In straightforward manner, the
youths told Of their actions at the
university in connection with admit
ting that they were gaining admittance
to the gymnasium The investigation
did not connect these ten with other
cases of misconduct reported by uni
versity authorities.
Superintendent Phillip Soulen testi-
fled that high school students were
frequently annoyed at the football
games by university students forcing
their way through the gate and that
he believed that encouraged the ac-
tions of the boys who were brought
into court.
L. F. Parsons, executive secretary,
told of the property damage that had
occurred at the university, and said
that although the university did not
connect these actions up with any one
in particular, since the Moscow boys
had been a continued source of trouble
at university events, it was but natu
raj that they should be under suspic-
ion. He recommended that the boys
be warned of what their actions might
grow into and that the court show
feniency.

MOSCOW PEOPLE WILL
HEAR VACHEL LINDSAY

The university is bringing a big
man to Moscow Thursday. Vachel
Lindsay-the tramp poet, the modern
troubadour, "Buddha dancing to a jazz

ten thirty at the auditorium. The
first three hours of Thursday morn
ing are to be shortened and the IL
O'Clock hour is to give way entirely,
because it is desired that every stu
dent and member of the faculty may
have chance to hear him. For the
sake of the townsfolk the reading
would have been put in the evening,
had that been possible; but that could
not be done with the number Of mid
week basketball games and other re-
cent Interruptions to the work of the
students
Vachel Lindsay is the most uniqtle
figure in the American literary world
today He believes in the spoken
word as the soul of poetry He has
command of every variety of effect
in the chanting" of his own poems.
In his earlier life he tramped from
one end of the country to the other,
exchanging his poems with country
and village folk for bread, a real
wandering minstrel. He has been re-
ceived by the great literary men of
London as the most American of our
poets His Congo" and General Will

THE BENEFITS OF
A POULTRY SHOW
INDUSTRY WILL BE
GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS IN
MOSCOW AND VICINITY.

Plans are maturing for the Moscow
Poultry Show, to be held under the
auspices of the Moscow Poultry asso-
citation, at the Washburn & Wilson
building, January 10, 20 and 21. The
interest shown by poultry enthusiasts
indicates that the entries will exceed
IN number those at any previous poul-
try show in the cAy. The following
are some of the benefits which should
result from a we'll managed poultry
show in Moscow:
l. A poultry show in Moscow will
bring group of poultry enthusiasts
together for their mutual benefit.
2. The poultry breeder will be
given an opportunity to compare the
quality of his stock with that of other
breeders and learn how it may be i'm
proved
3. The farmer with just a small
flock will learn from the talks and
exhibits how he can better care for
the birds he has and make even great
ed profits from them than he is now
from his chickens
4. The poultry stimulates the
keeping of more poultry on the farms
thereby diversifying their activities
and increasing the profits because the
poultry turn home grown grain and
farm by-products into good profits.
D. The poultry show interests more
farmers in purebred and standard
bred poultry. The Introduction of
pure bred birds where mongrels now
exist in this community would ma
terlally increase the income on the
farms and prevent to great extent
the occurrence of disease and neglect
on the farm flocks
8. Anything that makes it possible
for the farmer and poultry keeper to
become prosperous helps the whole

T. The merchants of Moscow will
'eceive material benefit from this
show because there will be more busi-
less brought to the city The poultry

owns will visit Moscow to bring their
entries and carry them back Farmers
