STATISTIC SOCIETY
ORGANIZED IN IDAHO
SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS FORM
BODY TO COLLECT
DATA

The gathering and tabulating of ed
ucational and sociological data in the
state of Idaho has just been given a
material boost by state statistical
association that has been orgarized
by a University of Idaho summer
school class in statistics under Prof
essor S. f. Browne, of the department
of economics.
1. r. Morrison of the Occur d'Alene
high school was chosen president and
Professor S. F Browne, secretary.
Miss Opal Sumner, principal in the
grade schools of Pocatello, and Prof
essor Browne were instructed to draw
up permanent plan of organization
that will later be submitted to the
members for approval.
Charter members of the aSSOcia-
ton consist almost entirely of sum-
mer school students at the university.
They are:
I. R. Morrison, Coeur d'Alene high
school: w. c. Gordon, superintend-
ent of the schools at Cascade; g. f.
Gorow, principal in the high school at
Franklin; " W. Caldwell, principal at
King Hill; M. Oistad of the Paul
schools; Rush Gordon, Moscow Jen-
ME Shepher, Weiser; A. A. Mock, Mos
COW; Opal Sumner, principal of Poca-
tello grade schools; S. F. Browne, un-
iversity instructor.
At present the objective of the new
organization is the collecting and dis
semination of information on the edu-
cational and sociological situations
found in the various schools of the
state. The university will act as a
distributing center for all the data
which will be compiled there also.
The membership in the association
will be enlarged to include all edu-
cationists conversant with. and inter
ested in statistical work. 1t is a
state organization.
In speaking of the association Prof
essor Browne stated that the organi-
zation came as a result of some inter
esting work done in the university
class in statistics this summer. 9Just
before the close of the course the ques-
ton was raised as to whether or no
a permanent society could not be af-
fected to continue the statistical work
and the association got under way.
''The association will confine it's ac-
tvities to the collection and complla-
tion of educational and sociological
schools of the state. The univers-
ity will also serve as a point for the
dissemination of such material
Membership will be restricted to
educators who are particularly inter-
ested in the gathering of the statistics
and the data collected and compiled
will represent thorough and careful
work"

CITY WATER FREE
OF HARMFUL GERM
BA ARCHAEOLOGICAL YSIS
RANKS MOSCOW SYSTEM
HIGH

The city water of Moscow is excep-
tiOnally free from bacteria, according
to an analysis just made by w. M
Gibbs, professor of bacteriology at the
University of Idaho. The water was
found to contain but ten bacteria to
the cubic centimeter.
No intestinal bacteria were found in
the samples that were teAed under the
supervision of Dr.. Gibbs, who pro-
nounced the water absolutely pure
from a archaeological standpoint.
Nine samples taken from all parts
of the city water systems were care
fully ana1yzed for bacteria. The
samples were secured at the Eco
nomical pharmacy, Davids' store, Rob-
bins pool hall. the Palace of Sweets,
the Moscow hotel drinking fountain,
at the pump house and from three
residence houses.
The very fact that the sample from
the water tank which was taken from
the water before it entered the city
tank allayed thoughts that the water
might be contaminated at the point.
Pure drinking water according to
the standard set up by the American
Public Health association can contain
not more than 100 bacteria to the cub
ic centimeter. These germs must be
other than intestinal.
"No intestinal germs were found in
the Moscow water supply and other
bacteria numbered but ten to the cubic
centimeter, thus insuring the water
as pure from the standpoint of hac-
teria," said Professor Gibbs.
The slight odor that at times arises
from the water is due to the sulphur
elements in the water which are harm
less.
The results obtained by the bacterio-
logical tests made by DR.. Gibbs not
only allays the fear that some peo-
pie had of the waters impurity, but
discloses the fact that the Moscow
water ranks very high in purity, ac-
cording to scientific standards.

LAST nights rain
IS MOST since 1920
MORE THAN AN INCH FALLS DUR
ING THE EVENING AND
NIGHT

The heaviest rain storm that has
hit this neighbOrhoOd for over two
years fell last night with total pre-
cipitation for yesterday evening and
during the night of LIS inches. Har-
vesting work has been temporarily
delayed but the effects of the rain are
considered beneficial on the whole.
That is was real rain is evidenced
by information secured from F. l..
Burkhart, University Of Idaho wealth
er man, who states that not since 1920
has there been rain of such a calber.
On January 26, 1920, 1.65 inches fell
at one time,, but since then more
than one inch has fallen Dui at three
occasions they are: January %, 1921,
LILO inches; March IL, 1921, LOB inch
es; and November 80, 1921, 1.04 inches.
Beginning Friday af r n n
about 800 the rain fell steadily
throughout the evening and the en-
tire night, thoroughly laying the dust
and saturating a soil suffering from
four months drOuth.
Saturday morning dawned bright,
with billOwy cumulous clouds floating
eastward, but by noon the country was
again in the throes of a shower, this
time of local character. The after
noon has been cloudy with occasional
showers and attempts at rain.
1t is believed that rain will fall in
termittently for the next two days,
despite the long gentle drizzle of Fri
day night.
Work in the harvest fields was halt
ed temporarily because of the soak
ing storm last night, but unless the
storm should hang over for several
days or a week or so, no serious diff
ficulties will be experienced in the
that the wheat and other grains will
even thresh better because of the
rain.
tricts state that the storm was the
greatest thing that could have hap
pened for the fall pasturage and the
and the like. 1t will mean thousands
of dollars worth of@good autumn for
age.
The rain had had very good psy-
Geological effect upon the citizens of
the community also. One farmer came
in with a long face, saying that the
small potatoes would all be ruined be-
cause of the rain. When asked why
he smilingly said, "they will all grow
big" So it. is, the rains have not only
cleared up the atmosphere of dust
and dirt, but have also filled everyone
with an exuberant spirit.
A large number of farmers were in
the city Saturday because of the cessa-
ton of harvesting for a day or SO
until the straw dries sufficiently for
the resumption of work. All aver that
although the harvest has been halted,
the rain is of inestimable value.

Mrs. French was compelled to can
eel q number of trips in the state that
he had planned and to cut short oth-
ers.
II am very much disappointed that
I could not have visited the Grange
vile, Clearwater and Nez Perce Prar-
lie sections of the country, and also
several of the counties farther north.
However, I shall hope to do this upon
my return. I also regret that will
not have the privilege at attending
our county convention next Tuesday
and the state convention at Wallace
in another ten days"
Says Harding Strong
Mr.. French believes while it is too
much to expect that there may not be
some reaction from the tremendous
vote given the Republican party two
years ago, but that the general situa-
ton is most excellent and that the
people will endorse President Hard
ing by most gratifying vote. s1his
has proven true in the special elections
in Maine and Iowa that were held not
long ago, and I believe will be true
everywhere.

more so the longer he pondered it
% credit to mere coincidence the
lnnlendoes uttered at the chateau
by Mr.. Monk and his party.
No: there had been malice In
that, Duchemin was satisfied, If
not some darker purpose which
perplexed the most patient scrut-
my.
Now malice without incentive is
tinthinkable. But Duchemin
searched his memory In vain for
anything he. could have said or
done to make anybody desire to
discredit him in the sight OF the
ladies Of the Chateau de Montal-
ais. still the attempt so to do had
been unmistakable: the Lone Wolf
had been lugged into the conversa-
tion literally by his legendary
ears.
Surely one would think, that
Nocturnal .prowler OF pre-war. Paris
had been SO long dead and buried
even the most ghoulish gossip
should respect his poor remains
and not disinter them merely to
demonstrate that the past can
never wholly die!
Had he then, some enemy Of old
hidden under one of those sleek
surfaces?
An excellent visual memory
reviewed successfully the physical
characteristics of Messieurs Monk,
Phinuit and de Lorgnes, and their
chauffeur Jules; with the upshot
that Duchemin could have sworn
that he had never before known
any Of these.
y And Madame la Comtesse? In
respect Of that one memory again
drew a blank, but remained salts
fed. When one thought of her
some remote, faint chord Of re-
miniscence thrilled and hummed,
but never recognizably.
Setting aside then the theory Of
positive personal animus, what
other reason could there be for
the effort to fasten upon Duche-
min the suspicion Of identity With
the late Lone Wolf?
"a sinister consideration, II any,
