On last Sunday morning crowd
left out in three automobiles for a

Bessie, Dorothy, Sarah Shepherd, Eli
zabeth Rosenberger Vada Elder and

about this trip is, why did they not
leave Mr.. Simon and Bibey at Weston
while there? All report a pleasant
day.

BUYING AUTO LICENSES
FOR l924I'OPERATION

Approximately two hundred Latah
county auto owners have applies for
licenses for 1924, according to a re-
port from the office of County AS
SCISSOR e. J. Gemmill, Friday. The
auto 1icenes for 1928 expire on the
last day of the year and all cars are
required to have a new license before
they can be driven after the first of
the year.
No change has been made in the
state law requiring all cars to have
licenses, or the fees which are charg-
ed, with the exception that no reduc-
ton is being made this year on the
condition OR age Of any car. Anyone
who drives a car without license is
liable to arrest Old licenses are no
better than no licenses and the driv-
ers of cars with old licenses are Ii
able to the same treatment. Licenses
must also be secured for all car trail
ers.

Measles KEEP CITY
SCHOOLS CLOSED

Because of the numerous cases of
measles among children in the city,
coupled with some cases of scarlet
fever, the school board of district
No. 5 has determined not to open the
city schools until Monday, January
7, according to q statement issued
this morning by r.. w. Morris, presi-
dent of the board. This gives the
children practically an additional
weeks vacation, as the schools would
otherwise have opened Wednesday
morning, January 2.
1t is doubtful if the city has ever
before witnessed such an epidemic
of measles, scores of homes bearing
the measles quarantine sign. The
measles epidemic was preceded by an
epidemic of scarlet fever, which
started early in the fall. This, how
ever has subsided to some extent. So
far, fortunately, there has not been
any extremely severe cases of either
disease.
The members Of the school board
believe that by postponing the open
ing of school another week, the stu
alton may be brought pretty well
under control

SAYS FOOD SUPPLY
ALWAYS SUFFICIENT
SCHOLAR FINDS BALANCE BE-
TWEEN POPULATION AND PRO-
DUCTS OF SOIL ALWAYS KEPT

Berkeley, CaIif.-(A P.)-WilI the
population of the world ever increase
to such numbers that the food sup
ply will run out? mo" predicts Pro-
fessor c. C. Plehn of the department
of economies in the University of
California.
But the professor qualities his neg
ative by saying that if the population
of the world ever increases as fully
as it has the power to, there certainly
will be a shortage of food. He ex-
plains that, as a matter of statistics,
this problem can never happen, since
events and conditions always inter-
vene to prevent over-population.
Yet, he comedies, in certain coun-
tries this economic over-population
has occurred. He cites the annual
famines in China and India, which he
contends, are due to the fact that the
birth rate never has been kept down
in those countries and consequently
the food supply proves inadequate.
dread diseases always follow
famine in the train of excessive pop
ulation and shortage of food" the
professor points out, and he states
further that as population increases
the land is proportionately over
worked.
Gin America, especially, population
has always been held in check. People
are made to realize the Importance of
keeping a balance between the popu-
1ation and the food supply. Farmers
manage to produce enough food to
satisfy everybody, even though agri-
cultural methods improve more slow
ly than the population increases. The
amount of effort expended in labor
and machinery for getting food is in
creasing steadily, so that, although
population tends to increase more
rapidly than food, there never will be
danger of food giving out

NOXI0US WEEDS
A REAL MENACE
NEZ PIERCE 60. COMMISSIONER
SEES GREAT GOOD IN PROPOS-
ED FIVE COUNTY MEET

The time has arrived for the cen
tral counties to join in a regional
program that will secure the enradi-
cation of the noxious weeds that are
annually cutting down the crop
production. is the opinion expressed
yesterday by Porter Shafer, member
OF the board of county commission
ers of Nez Peree county, in an inter
view in the Lewiston Tribune Mr.
Shafer is now a resident of Lewiston
but he is primarily farmer and owns
fine farm on the north and south
highway, adjoining the top of the
Lewiston hill.
''The farmers of central Idaho are
now paying big price for the 1axity
of officials which has allowed the
noxious weeds to thrive without eff
fort of control or eradication" said
Mr.. Shafer. eff the commissioners
of the five central Idaho counties
can do no more than to reach an un-
derstanding and an agreement on a
program that will mean a vigorous
campaign to eradicate the noxious
weeds, ] believe the meeting will be
well worth while.
81 would favor a conference of all
boards with their prosecuting attor-
neys before the boards come to the
missioner here will know definitely
just how far the county boards can
go In the matter of weed control. If
this information is secured before
the commissioners come to Lewis
ton, is would seem that it will not
take long for us to reach a definite
understanding by which a woxkable
program can be put into operation
very early next year.
'EIn the matter of road signing
so that connecting systems can be
agreed upon, 1 believe that much
assistance to the travelling public will
be secured. L also believe that very
material saving can be secured if the
counties adopt a regional plan of
road marking. 1t will be necessary
to have Nez Perce county points in
dicated on the roads in both Latah
and Lewis counties and it will be
necessary for our county to mark
directions for the town of adjacent
counties. We can come to a much
better understanding and work out
a much more satisfactory system If
the matter is taken up and deter
mined in just such a meeting as is
proposed for January IT,"

NATIONAL FORESTRY
BILL INTRODUCED
MNARY PROPOSES LAW FOR ADE-
QUATE PROTECTION OF TIMBER
IMPORTANT TO IDAHO

Senator McNary Of Oregon, chair
man of the senate refOrestation com
mittee, has introduced for the consfd-
Grafton OF congress, a bill which seeks
more adequate protection of timber
ed and cut-over lands, provides for
the reforestatfon of devastated for
est areas, and otherwise aims to keep
the timber lands of the country in
continuous forest production.
To Idaho, with its vast timber re-
sources. the proposed law is of es-
pecfal Importance, aiding in making
numbering industry a permanent in
dustry in the state.
The bill endorses state and NUM-
cipal forests as well as the enlarge
ment of the national forest areas par
ticularly in eastern regions. One of
of the most important provisions of
the bill is the extension of federal
aid in forest fire protection to those
states which in the judgement Of the
secretary Of agriculture have per-
fected such systems of forest fire pre-
vention and suppression as will give
adequate protection to standing tim
ber and cut-Over lands not only to
insure a continuous supply of timber,
but to conserve the water resources
for irrigation and other commercial
purposes.
The bill also seeks the cooperation
of the states in devfsing such tax
laws as will encourage the conserva-
tion and growing Of timber on the
part of private owners. 1t further
authorizes the secretary of agricul-
ture to cooperate with the states in
growing and distributing forest plant
ing material and in advising with
farmers and other land owners in es-
tablishing shelter belts, woodlots, or
IN producing other timber crops.
Altogether, the bill, if enacted into
laws as seems very likely, will give
the country favorable start toward
the creation of an adequate national
forest policy. The bill calls for
total appropriation of $2,700,0OO to
carry out it's various provisions.

MOSCOW Will HAVE
SWIMMING POOL
PURITY CREAMERY OFFERS PLAN
WHICH is CERTAIN TO
BE ACCEPTED

MOSCOW people, especially those
who are active in civic affairs, have
vivid recollections Of efforts put
forth at various times to secure a
swimming pool for the city, and
some two years ago considerable
work was done by a committee, the
idea finally being temporarily aban-
dOned because of the inability to Sc
cure funds for as elaborate swim
ming pool and natatorium as it was
believed the city should have.
Within the past few days a plan
has opened up which makes it pos
sible for Moscow to have a swim
ming pool and natatorium installed
within a reasonably short time, at a
nominal cost. The plan calls for no
donations. 1t merely calls upon the
citizens to purchase season rights
for themselves and families to swim
in modern natatorium.
Purity Creamery Makes Offer
Upon request of the Moscow cham
Der of commerce and with the assur-
ance of the support of the organiza-
tion, the Purity Creamery company
has decided to install tank 40 by
80 feet, with all modern equipment
for water sports. There will be heat
ed and lighted rooms and balcony
and the usual equipment for water
sports. There will be 35 feet of
space above the surface of the tank;
there Will be dressing rooms, shower
baths and most important of all a
supply Of fresh heated water, suffi-
~cient to refill the pool as often as de-
sired. There can be a continuous
inflow and overflow to make sani-
taYy condition assured.
RAadv To CAm~auea Work
According to statement made
Friday by the management of the
Purity Creamery company, work can
be commenced at once in remodeling
to make the space for the natatori-
um. There will be abundance of
room, and at the same time, the pres
ent industry will not in any way be
interfered with. If action is taken
Immediately, the plant will be COM
p1eted by March 1. AS soon as it is
definitely decided that the people of
Moscow will give full support to the
movement, a force of carpenters,
concrete workers and we'll diggers
will be put to work on the job.
While heretofore it has been esti-
mated that $35 900 would be required
was wanted, the plan now offered
calls for only the purchase Of season
tickets and many business men have
adready come forward with the
statement that they will purchase a
number of tickets.
The natatorium, according to the
plan outlined, will be pOliced and
guarded and fully operated at the ex-
pease Of the creamery company, the
expense to the public being no more
than the customary charge for ad-
mission to such places, with special
rates to university classes, Sunday
school classes, lodges, clubs, etc. |
Immediate action is desired, be-
cause of the possibility Of lessening |
the cost of construction by having |
the work done during the winter
when building operations I
generally are practically closed |
down.
