good tournaments on the schedule
with prospects for other matches.

at end.
More than 80 men are turning out

Idaho. There are a number OF
varsity aspirants showing up in good
shape.

GERMAN MASSES
ARE IN SAD PLIGHT
GERMANY HAD BUMPER CROP,
BUT DISTRIBUTION is AN
IMP0SSIBILITY

Berlin-(A. P)-While politicians
bubble and delay, the German mass
es starve or live on insufficient ra-
tions. Unemployment grows at
rapid rate and millions of Germans
face winter of want and privation.
Berlin and other cities and towns
have established municipal kitchens
Limited quantities of free fuel are
provided for by cards. But the meals
and fuel are dependent upon cards
whose issuance is irregular and
shares the general disorder which
has spread throughout the control Of
food supplies.
With the abolishment of the bread
card and the subsequent rise of Ger
man blackbread to figures which are
fantastic in comparison with the un-
employment doles, the situation be-
come more acute than ever and gave
political agitators their opportunity
to incite riot. :,
The condition of the unemployed is
pathetic in the extreme. By degrees
the old people, many of them middle
class, have been forced to go upon
the streets for aims.
But the rioters are not of this class
for the most part. 1t is the young
sters, many of them Communists, and
have organized riots However, the
grounds for violent demonstrations
against officialdom are so valid that
the extremists have the sympathy, IL
not the actual support, of men and
women of nearly all classes
Charges that the demonstrations
have had much encouragement from
Moscow have not done much to soft
en- the bitterness of the German pub
lie toward the central government.
The fact remains that Germany had
an excellent crop this year. There
are more than enough potatoes for
the German public. Germany had a
bumper crop of grain. But the cur
rency crash and the let-down of
and general disorgan-
ization in the government have made
it impossible to distribute the food
and enable the public to buy it.

TERTELING GETS
HIGHWAY CONTRACT
MOSCOW MAN TO BUILD TEN
MILES OF NORTH AND SOUTH
ROAD, VIOLA TO P0TLATCH

j. A. Terteling & Sons, of this city
were awarded the contract at Lewis
ton Monday for the construction of
ten and one-third miles of the North
and South highway, between Viola
and Potlatch. The bid was $780,
S43.76, while that of the next highest
bidder, Campbell 6 Barr, also of
Moscow, was $102,119.4S. The bid was
let at the office of Perry e. Oxley,

ject No. rs, of the Potlatch highway
district
Mr.. Terteling has announced that
he will begin clearing the right of
way this fall and will do some Of the
rock work this winter. The contract
covers the grading and surfacing and
calls for the completion of the work
within one year.
The section between Viola and Pot
latch will be built through the Cove
district, that route having been de-
cided upon instead of the Flanagan
creek route, which was at first con-
sidered. The completion of this sec
tion and the stretch of some eight
miles between Potlatch and Harvard,
the contract for which was let to the
Triangle Construction company of
Spokane few months ago, will COM
plete the highway from this city to
Harvard
Terteling and Sons have the con-
tract for building the stretch of
highway between Palouse and Pull
man, on the east division of the In
land Empire highway. 1t is esti-
mated that three months will be re-
quired next spring to complete this
piece of work. They are using a
large overhead grader on the Wash
ington work, which will be transfer
red to the North and South highway
job next spring. This grader will
move more than one thousand yards
of dirt in a day.

WIVES AT BANQUET

Monday night was the annual ladies
night at the Moscow Rotary club, the
wives of the members being the
guests, some 35 members and their
ladies being present. The occasion
was one of the most delightful in the
history of the club. The tables in
the dining room at the Elks' temple
were beautifully decorated, and a
sumptuous turkey dinner was served.
Music was furnished during the dim
ner by the Collegiate Serenaders, di-
rected by Al Marineau.
Following the dinner the members
of the club joined in singing num-
ber of special songs for the entertain
ment of the ladies, with j. d. Davis
as leader. Mr.. Davis also sang, to
the tune of Barney Google" a song
of his own composition, a takeoff on
some fthe leading members of the
club, which was loudly applauded.
Col E. r. Chrisman, chairman of
the program committee made a short
but eloquent talk, welcoming the la
dies, after which the entertainment
committee, consisting of Mop. Bail
ey and J. F. Stewart, took charge of
the meeting, offering a program of
music, feature dance, and brought
the program to a close with mock
trial of several members, with DR.. J.

fruit, or cash. The contributions
will be turned over to the Moscow
Charities association or similar or
ganizations for distribution among
the needy families of Moscow and
vicinity for the Thanksgiving and
Christmas holiday season.
superintendent Soulen is stressing
not so much the amount of the gift as
that all children regardless of their
capacity, should give something. 1t
is the opportunity of thinking and do
ing some little mite for the more
needy ones that makes this annual
lesson of great value in supplement-
ing the school work.
1--WE hope parents will cooperate
so that that we may be able to report
as nearly 100 per cent gifts as pos
sible," said Superintendent Soulen.
"The gift, no matter how small, if ac-
companied with the right attitude of
sympathy will carry it's message to
both giver and receiver. 1t is this
feature that the Moscow schools es-
pecially desire to stress"

GOVERNOR Cites
CAUSE FOR THANKS
MOORE ISSUES THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION SETTING ASIDE
THURSDAY FOR HOLIDAY

Declaring that Idaho has much to
be thankful for Gin fertile soil, abun-
dant crops, excellent schools, liberal
support of religious institutions and
law and order within our borders, %
Governor G. G.. Moore has issued a
proclamation setting aside Thursday,
November 20, as Thanksgiving day. 1t
follows:
Three hundred and three years
ago the Pilgrim Fathers landed on
the storm-swept, hostile shore of the
American continent. Their lives were
dedicated to the principles of toler-
ance, peace and Godliness. Through
the v1cissitudes of fortune and the
trials of most strenuous pioneer life
this little band which bore aloft the
torch OF truth never wavered In its
faith in the beneficence of the Heav-
emily Father. Theirs was a faith
which prompted them in the autumn
of 1921, on the bleak shores of New
England to set one day aside to give
thanks to God for His many bless
ings.
Gratitude to Pioneers
eft is fitting that we, the people Of
Idaho, be reminded of the debt Of
gratitude we owe these early pio-
neers. The making Of Idaho epitom-
ICES in many ways the struggles of
the New England settlers. We have
much to be thankful for, in fertile
soil, abundant crops, excellent
schools, liberal support of religious
institutions and law and order with
in our borders. 1t is proper then,
for the citizens Of the state of Idaho,
in keeping with the proclamation of
President Calvin Coolidge. to set
aside one day to consider our bless
ings and give thanks for them.
"Now, therefore, I, Charles c..
Moore, governor of the state of Idaho,
do hereby designate Thursday, No
vember 20, as Thanksgiving day, and
request it's general observance
throughout the state. I urge that in
all our homes and in our places of re-
ligious worship, we give thanks to
Almighty God for His manifold bless
ings."

FORMER PUBLISHER finds
CALIFORNIA BOOMING

George A. Smith, former publisher
of the Grangeville Globe, and well
known in this city, arrived here Mon
day, after four months trip through
California, by automobile. Two
months of the time was spent at Los
Angeles and the surrounding terri
tory, Mr.. Smith attending the annual
Idaho picnic at Los Angeles, in July,
which was attended by 300 Idahoans
and former Idahoans. Among those
present were DR.. and Mrs. j. H.
Smith and Dr. Magee, Of this city. Mr.
Smith then came north to San Fran
cisco, where he took a special six
weeks course in the plant of the
E9ergantha1er Linotype company.
California, Mr. Smith states, is in
the midst of an unprecedented boom,
it being claimed that the population
of Los Angeles is increasing at the
rate of 10000 per month. Property
values are beyond all reason, as are
also rentals. A four-room house,
eight miles out from the center Of the
city rents for $65 a month. The
trades are overdone and men are
working for whatever they can get.
In San Francisco conditions are diff
ferent with labor in all lines we'll or
ganized and wages high.
Coming north, Mr.. Smith said he
met an almost continual stream of
cars, with all kinds of baggage and
headed for California A
big percentage of the cars bore
Washington license plates, and the
occupants were either going south
to make their homes, or to spend the
winter.
Mr.. Smith states that the influx of
people is already real problem. |
of people have all their
belongings in their Ford, and are
broke and unable to secure work
