Dean S. b. Nelson OF the college of
veterinary science, has received an
order directing that from December
Il onward, students of veterinary
science at the State College of Wash
ington, be placed in class > on the
ground that they are in the military
service of the United States.
The order states further that there
will be no other ground upon which
such persons Cas such) may be
placed in deferred classification
for army service.
Dean Nelson explains that the rul-
ing is made to permit young yeterin-
arians to complete their college
course before their entrance into
army service; that it has been made
to help in meeting the rising demand
for thoroughly trained veterinarian,
to answer for the we'll being of cay,
airy horses in the new American
army, immense numbers of which
may be put into service, and to
undertake other hygienic work in the
army
The ruling extends also to practic-
ing veterinarians of approved quail
fications, but it stated in the order
that these need not be exempted
from draft TO cOmn1atp thpir vptnrin-
any training; hence. there is less
haste in the matter Of their enlist
mcnt in the reserve medical corps
than in the case of veterinary stu.
dents who need from a few months
to several years to qualify for army
veterinary service.

MERCHANTS ADOPT
ECONOMY MEASURES
One Delivery Each Day, Thirty-Day
Credit, Nine-HOur Day and Other
Commercial Economy Meas
ures Adopted

The Pullman merchants are re-
solved to help win the war. They
believe that they can be of the great
est assistance in the present crisis by
reducing their expense to the lowest
possible point, thus permitting them
10 sell their wares to the consumers
at slight margin of profit, and by
conserving fuel, light and manpower
and pushing only the sale of articles
which are recommended by the CON
servation department of the food ad-
ministration.
In cooperation with the national
food administration the merchants
will launch commercial economy
campaign on January /. The new
program includes several changes
from the former business systems of
the local merchants, and was com
Dleted at meeting of the merchants
held this week.
One of the most drastic changes in
tie interests of conservation of re-
sources will be in the delivery system
of the business houses, the deliveries
after the first of the year to be linn
tied to one delivery per day to a Gus
toner instead of two deliveries, as
heretofore.
Credit will be limited to 80 days
under the new plan. The merchants
will emphasize economical foods and
staple products in their window and
interior displays and advertising and
will lay stress upon those goods
which are produced or manufactured
at home.
All of the business houses have
adopted a nine-hour day and will
, close each night, aSturdays included,
at 600 o'clock. except drug stores,
which will remain open until $50.
The local business men endorsed
the commercial economy plan of the
district committee as outlined at a
recent meeting in Spokane and will
cooperate with that committee in
every way.
The comm ercial economy program
as war measure is being adopted
by the business houses of every city
and town of the United States, the
direct result of conference of mem
bers OF the National Retail Grocers
association held recently at Washing
ton, ID. C. This conference resulted
IN the naming of commercial econ
omy committees in every district and
every county, the work to be carried
on in the cities and towns by the
business men them selves under the
guidance and recommendation OF
these committees.
The merchants pledge themselves
to cooperate with the national food
administration in every way possible
to insure the enforcement of its rules

its conservation plans, and deliver to
the consumers the necessities of life
as cheaply as it lies in their power
to do.
Under the plans adopted the CLERKS
VIII be asked to concentrate their e.
forts on selling wholesome and nu-
triTious substitutes for white flour
and meat and the sale of articles OF
food that are cheap. yet of good quail
ity' in the place of high priced
staples.
The local merchants will quote
prices on staple products in line with
the price regulations set for Spo'
kane and published daily in the Spo-
kane press.

COTTON WINS FROM
PULLMAN HIGH
First Basket Ball Game of Season
Wen by Cotton by 30 to 10 Score
Visitors Have Fast Team
Pullman Under Form

Displaying pronounced superior
ity in floor work and basket tossing
the Cotton high school basket ball
team defeated Pullman high in the
80 to 10 score. The game was fast
from start to finish, with the visitors
taking the lead in the early minutes
of play and strengthening the ad-
vantage as the game progressed.
Early in the second half the Pullman
quintet showed its real class, but the
rally was short lived. While the
strength of the Cotton team can not
be discounted, Pullman played woe
fully under the standard set in prac-
tice, missing basket after basket both
from the floor and on free throws.
Fumbles by both teams were fire.
quent and costly.
Captain Maynard and Sharback
proved the mainstay of the Cotton
team, while Dressler and Douglas
were the individual stars for the los
ers. Cotton is now in q fair way to
annex the county high school cham
pionship, having registered signal
victories over Garfield, Palouse and
Pullman in consecutive games. The
visitors had one of the best balanced
teams seen on the local floor in a
longtime.
