TENOR INSPIRES
in GREAT RECITAL
ALTHOUSE TAKES SMALL BUT
APPRECIATIVE CROWD INTO
JOYS OF MUSIC.

Paul AlthouSe-Singer with beautl-
full voice and real personality.
AIthouse took a small but most ap-
preciative audience in the University
of Idaho auditorium last night with
him through the joys of music. Prob
ably no greater dramatic singer has
ever appeared in the university audi
torium as evidenced in " The Blind
Ploughman," a number as sung by
Althouse that caused one to wake
with a start with the last note and
wonder why ones hand was clamped
to the arm of the seat.
Althouse seemed almost to play with
his audience. He carried his hearers
to the heights of emotionalism and
in the next number rollicked with
them in a liltingly beautiful and simple
song. He changed from the highest
type of dramatic artist to an irrepres-
sible college youngster singing for
college youngsters. The change, let
it be known, did not diminish in the
slightest degree the indelible stamp
of the great singer on the man.
Human, Real, Genuine.
Perhaps the best description of Alt
house would be in the words of his
OWN SOHS, L lie l1doI oOH6
ITO have the world
To make music with me-"
For Althouse seemed to sing with
his audience rather than at them. He
was human, real, genuine.
To add to a program by Althouse
would be difficult but Rudolph Gruen,
accompanist, did the impossible in
three piano solos and an encore num-
ber Mr.. Gruen courteously inferred
that his audience was well acquainted
with the encore number as he did not
announce it. The desire of the audi
ence. however, was to hear him play
Mr. Althouse sang one of Mr.. Gruens
own compositions, "The Phantom
Ship" and Mr.. Althouse graciously
passed the apparent appreciation OF
the crowd from himself to his accom-
panist
Daffodil Gold" was a colorful
number in which the golden mellow
ness of Mr.. Althouse's voice was
shown to advantage. Someone
Worthwhile" Sunday" and The
Lilac Tree were favorites. 1t might
have been we'll for Mr.. Althouse to
have left his audience with the thrill
and inspiration of The Great
Awakening I" but the crowd would have
none of it. Again Mr.. Althouse
charmed with a light encore and
with another song left his audience
living with him the dramatic realism
of the number.

ABRUPT ADVANCE OF
S1.25 ON SUGAR TODAY

The price of sugar took sensa-
tional advance today, surprising not
only the householder, but the dealer
as well. Local dealers received ad-
vices Tuesday morning that the price
would advance about 40 cents hun
dred, but were astonished about clos
ing time Tuesday evening to receive
notification from the wholesale
houses that the price had advanced
S1.25 per hundred. This brings the
wholesale price at Moscow up to
$3.50 per hundredweight, and the re-
tail price to S1065. The highest pre-
vious retail price in many months
had been 1925. The figures show the
margin to the retailer to be extreme
ly small.
While the cause for this phenome-
nal advance seems to b elm doubt,
one Moscow retailer gave as his
opinion that it is due to the fact that
Great Britain has recently entered
the market on large scale for raw
sugar.
The price is the highest since No
vember, 1920. During the wartime
period, it is still distinctly remember
ed by many heads of families, the
price scared close to $50 per hun
dredweight, reaching the peak about
June, 1920, after which the price
dropped to something like $3.50 re-
tail

AN ANNUAL PATRIOTIC
EVENT AT HARVARD

Harvard-The seventh annual Lin
coins birthday banquet given by Har-
ward Grange in the hall, Saturday,
added another link to the chain OF
successful social affairs given by the

ing of music, dialogues, readings, and
recitations, including sketch of the

address, and "A Soldiers Reprieye.'
The day closed with dance at night,
which was also attended by a good

success by all.

MARRIAGE LICENSES ONLY
THREE In SIX WEEKS

With more than six weeks OF the
year gone, the Latah county auditors
office has issued but three marriage
licenses since January first. This,
the records show, sets a new low re-
cord for marriage licenses in the
county, with apparently no reason for
so decided a slump in the matrimonial
market. One hundred and forty-four
marriage licenses were issued In the
county last year, making a monthly
average Of twelve. Twenty-Five d.
yorce DEGREES were granted during
the year.
With only three marriage licenses
since the first of the year, the records
show as an offset two DEGREES OF di-
vorce granted in that period, making
net increase of one in the number
of Latah county homes.

DEMAND FOR HORSES
grows GREATER in u. S.

People are waking up to the econo-
my of horses for all short haul de-
livery work according to Paul Con-
nelly, a we'll known Philadelphia horse
dealer. He says: TRADE was better
last year than in years and prospects
are fully as bright for 1928.
"The increase in demand for extra
good draft horses and wagon horses
has shown marked increase for two
years and would increase faster ii
more stables were available. The
practice of converting livery stables
are getting extra rates for boarding
and renting horses for small firms.
About 80 per cent of all commo-~
dities in Philadelphia can be moved
more economically by horses. Firms
which use horses most largely are
those which deal in milk, coal, bread.
ice cream, laundry, peddling, hauling
goods from wharves and railroads, or
others whose work involves frequent
stops.'
Reports from the United States de-
partment of agriculture bear out Mr.
Connelly's statement. Market reports
just issued, covering the 81 principaf
markets of the United States, show
that while in 1921 there were only
BIT, ,445 horses and mules sold at these
markets, in 1922 the number increased
to 442,646, a gain Of 39.4 per cent.
The Horse association of America
states that reports received from the
principal cities in the United States
and Canada indicate a strong and
growing sentiment in favor Of horse
use among city business men and an
increasing demand for quality draft
and wagon horses with prices advanc~
ing.

PRICE FIXATION
ADVERTISES CITY
CHAMBER SEEKS ACTION FROM
OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FOR
FIXED FIGURE.

To further the cause of fixed price
of $1.75 a bushel on wheat the Mos
cow Chamber of Commerce this noon
at the regular weekly meeting author
lied the secretary to send notices of
the chambers action, favoring guar
anteed price, to all the chambers of
Whitman and Spokane counties of
Washington and to southern Idaho.
The notifications are to request sim
liar action by the civic organizations.
A guaranteed price on wheat was
first started in the local chamber of
commerce by G. P Mix, prominent
Latah county farmer. A resolution
was passed favoring a fixed price ad-
dressed to the session of the state
legislature The legislature by un-
animous vote in both houses memorial
lied congress to provide for guar
anteed price on wheat. Senator Good
ing has introduced in congress a Dill
providing for the creation OF
$500 100000 corporation to stabal1ze
and fix the price of wheat.
Moscow Gains Prominence
Moscow has gained national pro-
minence in that the original resolu-
ton as passed by the chamber OF
commerce has apparently started de-
finite action for the relief of the
wheat farmer, for the nation as
whole in that the entire country is
denendent basically upon the success
Of agriculture.
A motion was passed extending an
invitation to members of the Latan
county Farm bureau and Farmers
Union to meet with the chamber at
the next meeting, Wednesday noon,
February 21. A. H. Oversmith was
appointed to prepare suitable pro-
gram.
Construct Important Road.

hue road out of Palouse to the state
line would be the first piece Of road
work to be completed in Whitman
county, according to Whitman county
road commissioners. This road

will connect up with the north and
south highway, thereby providing
tourists to Washington an opportunity
to use the north and south highway
and come through Moscow.
field representative of the American
Red Cross in charge of the work in
Washington and northern Idaho, was
guest of the chamber. Miss Take
gave an interesting talk on the work

ganization through the varied work

Reduce Tuition
For Nonresident

Williston, Aug. 2S.-At a regular
meeting Of the Board OF Educa ton
last week 1t was decided to reduce
that part of the High School tut
tion to be paid by nonresident
pupils from $4,000 a year to- $4,000,
which Will mean a payment Of
$1,000 each semester for each nom
resident pupil enrolled in High
school. The $54 will still be paid
ny the Districts from which pupils
come. as provided by law, making
the total tuition this year $1,000
instead OF $4,000. Although the
available funds to be raised by 10.
cal taxes has been reduced by the
new law limiting the levy to IS
mills, 1t was thought that the ac-
tnal expense Of instruction to each
pupil in the high school depart
ment would not exceed $94 the
coming year and what patrons Of
the Williston school would greatly
appreciate the reduction.
