A REAL SkEEZIX in
LATAH co. HOME
BLUE-EYED BOY LEFT ON DOOR
STEP AT ELMER NICHOLS HOME
NO CLEW AS TO PARENTAGE

"Skeezix," of comic supplement
fame has a rival in the Moscow dis
trict, and Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer D.
Nichols, well known and prosperous
farmers of the Thorn Greek district,
nine miles south of town, are playing
the part of "Walt." The Moscow
Skeezix is a pretty, blue-eyed boy,
about four months old, who was left
on the doorstep of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nichols sometime before daylight
Saturday morning, and whose identity
is entirely a mystery to Mr.. and
Mrs. Nichols.
Mr. Nichols was away from home
during the week and Mrs. Nichols
rose early Saturday morning to do
her work about the house, as is her
custom. Great was her surprise,
when she opened the door to find a
basket on the doorstep, containing
a fair-haired, blue-eyed baby boy and
a complete wardrobe OF baby clothes.
Nothing was left to indicate how,
why, or from whence the baby came,
more than a piece of brown wrapping
paper, on which was written, Baby
age four months"
A telephone message to Mr.. Nichols
brought him home in hurry and an
effort was made to get clew, if
possible, as to where the baby had
come from and by what means.
Tracks, apparently of man and wo-
man, were followed to a road inter-
section about a mile from the house,
where it was evident that a car had
been parked and had been turned
around. Aside from this there was
no clew.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols have
not vet decided just what course to
pursue, it is understood that they
are likely to take the bright-look1ng
little chap in with their own brood.
There are in the Nichols family eight
children, six of whom are at home.
The doorstep baby is assured OF good
care and a good home if it is kept
in the Nichols family.
While there are many opinions ex-
pressed as to why parents would part
with so attractive a child, the one
generally accepted is that it belonged
to some mother who felt that she was
unable to furnish it the home and
the care which her love prompted
and decided to bestow it upon some
one whom she thought could give
it the care desired for it. Some,
however, profess to believe tnat
the baby was left by some family
driving through the country, possibly
from a distance, who desired to get
rid of the child.
The clothing, Mrs. Nichols informed
q Star-Mfrror representative, is OF
good material, handmade and show
much care Everything was immacu-
lately clean. When asked If 1t was
the intention to give the little one a
home, Mrs. Nichols indicated that it
would be cared for at least for the
present, and that she would not be
averse to taking it into the home as
one of her own.

1920 with that Of 1910. The 1920
census shows tie rrmber Of
horses mot on fares III 1920 at
1705,00Q against 3.IG2.GG0 in 1910, a
decrease c! 40To i'll the ten year
period cnding with 1920 while the
annual decrease since 1920 is pre-
sumably even more rapid than that
OF the decade ending with 1920.
The decrease in use Of the horse
has been much more rapid in the
cities and towns than in the rura;
areas, as shown by the fact that
while the number Of horses on
farms decreased 7Go in the decade
ending with 1922, the number mot
on farms" decreased A0Go in the
decade ending with 1920.
This big fall off in the number of
horses wo&ld probably have been
even greater but for the TACT that
we of the United States do.not re-
gard the horse as a food animal,
and the present generation of
horses is thus permitted to pass
out Of existence by the natural
process rather than by Slaughter
ing them FOR food as is often done
in certain other countries.
That the decrease in the number
and value Of horses is closely re-
lated to the increased use of the
automobile in its various forms is
evidenced by the fact that the
number of motor vehicles regis
tered in the United States has in
creased from 1T1I,53J ia 1914 to
