banner of purple silk and gold, framed
and always on the job of impressing
visitors.
Some time after the awards were
officially announced by the interna-
tional jury, several concerns got what
they claimed were highest awards"
and there was quite a lot of corre-
spondence and controversy. In the
minds of some, the affair isn't entirely
settled yet.
But we've got it," said Hills. IT'S

of Bosses quota of students for the Uni
versity of Idaho at Moscow and the
State Normal school at Lewiston,
pulled out of Boise last evening at s 80
o'clock. The train was an hour and a
half late. One of the noticeable fea-
lures in connection with the departure
of the students for the north this year
was that they paid more excess bag
gage than ever before. There were
the usual fearful partings, but when the
train pulled out the crowd was a gay
one and they filled the windows wav-
ing good-b bye as the train sped out Of
the yards.
Every reservation of both the spe-
cial cars was taken. However, a
goodly number were to board the cars
at Nampa and at points between that
city and Weiser. The largest number
from Boise went to Moscow. The
following are bound for the Univer-
sity of Idaho; Ruth Cole, Florence
Bauer, Manila Reed, Hazel Nav, Paul
Broxon, Margaret Ross, Thelma Nc
Girr, Robert M. Duff, Marie Freehafer.

Thosc bound for Lewiston from
Boise are Elmer Hall, Elsie Homer,
Eva Lee Miner, Inez Woesner, Gladys
Nibler and Maude Poole Quite a
number of registrations for Lewiston
had been made from students from
eastern sections of the state and a
number from Nampa and points west
which assured the car being filled west
of Weiser.

HOW TO BE POPULAR

The only sure way TO win friends is
to be one. How often have you heard
men say Il thought he was a pretty
fine chap till l got to know him.
Every person has his own pet
ideals Few of us agree on many of
even the big ideals. If one tries to
live up to his own ideals he is sure
to squelch some ones entire code and
maybe several codes. But if he tries
the other mans code instead of his
own he is ridiculed as mollycoddle
and a weakling
Whether we admit it or not. we like
the fellow who has his own standard,
lives up to it and kneels to no one,
who seeks no quarrel but brooks no
tyranny, who suffers more than his
victim when he unjustly Injuries and
who is quick to see the rights and be-
liefs of others as well as his own.
The popular man is the man of the
populace, friendly to the pOpulace and
equal to the best in the populace so
far as his inmate self permits.
