MOCK SALE ABANDONED

A joint session of the Saddle and
Sirloin and the Dairy clubs of Wash
ington State College was held on
April %. 1917, and it was decided to
postpone the annual mock sale for
the following reasons: The back
ward season has given rise to many
abnormal conditions in connection
with the live stock and the farm in
general. many of the students are
dropping out to go home and farm
while others are about to leave or
have already left to enter the army
and navy. 1t was thought wise on
account of the foregoing reasons to
wait for a more opportune season to
stage this event. The Saddle and
Sirloin club together with the Dairy
club will devote the funds which
would have been invested in the sale
to the benefit of the Red Cross.
