S advertising took on this char
"A acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. House ewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
mcdities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fluenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too. was Gin business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with eff
tciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fiuenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. 1fa merchant holds the at

In their buying by the advertise

PLAY OF EMBLEM.
Small Group of Seniors and Several

the Juniors.

A free-for-all mixup between the
Junior and Senior classes started this
morning following the posting in con-

emblem by members.
A few members of the Junior class
Journeyed to the school last night. aft
er the street dance was over. and
early comers this morning were flaunt-
'ngly stared in the face by the Junior
display.
A small but doughty bunch of Sc
nlors, joined by few underclassmen
made for the distasteful sight, with
all-apparent intention. Just at this
instant the Junior horde got under
way. The small group of Seniors
marked the advance and bravely
turned to meet it. The two armies
met in the center of the grounds. and
for few minutes the scenery was
occupied by silent but very inter
esting struggle, but ringing of the
recitation bell forced both sides te
declare peace.
In the meantime the powers that be
have declared that the students must
compromise, The junior Glass EN-.
blems must be ruined and hereafter
the class that puts up its number must
suffer the punishment of the othe,
three classes combined.
The Juniors went to the extent o.
choosing the hour following midnigh
to put up their emblem. The Senio
class have declared that they will worl
in the daylight in sight of all Ju
