STUDENT RALLY
DRAWS BIG CROWD

FOLLOWED BY BONFIRE

Recalling ssthe days of real sport
when a game between w. S. c. and
the University of Idaho drew crowds
from 100 miles or more and aroused
every bit of fighting blood" in Mos
cow people, the parade and rally of
Idaho students last night was en-
joyed by timers. 1t brought back
spirit was rampant and the people
of Moscow loved and supported the
college sports. 1t forecasts big
crowd at the foot ball game today
when w. S. C. meets Idaho in what
is hoped to be a fight to a finish
with the victory on the Idaho side.
Beginning Immediately after z
o'clock the yelling started and it
grew in volume as the students
gathered from all parts of town and
from the university until it made a
girls of the university marched
through the streets they were Joined
by others until more than 1000 were
marching, singing, shouting and try

The band added much to the rythm
of the marching songs. Townspeople
gathered on the streets and watched
the marchers and joined in the noise
making.

Yellmasters led the students in cheer

everything in, about and connected
with the university. When one yell
masters voice weakened to stage
whisper he was relieved by another
and another until half a dozen had
worn out their voices in leading the
cheering.
Then, with the band leading and
students singing the sserpentine"
march was started and the gang
headed for the fair grounds where
several wagon loads of combustible

WOMEN SPENDING
MORE THAN THE MEN
GET GOOD WAGES DURING WAR
TIMES-SPEND FOR CLOTHES
AND JEWELRY

CHICAGO.-Wh have been more
economical, men or women, during the
conservation period of the war? Men
that is the answer of trade sta
tistics.
A State street department store
manager said: E'Women have bought
twice as much in our store as men,
during the war. A jeweler said
Women have bought two-t thirds of
all the jewelry sold. This includes
diamonds and pearls which have
doubled in price since the war began
but are safe investments because they
will go higher for several years after
the war" A garment manufacturer
said: HSales of women's dress goods
this year have been a third greater
than last
The merchants point in explanation
to the fact that more women are
working than ever before and max
ing good wages. Thousands of men,
on the other hand, have gone away
to war. Purchases of clothes seem to
prove, however, that men are natur
ally more economical than women.
Women are buying more clothes than
ever. Men are buying less. This is
proved by the showing of the tailor
ing trade. While the army drafts
have seriously affected this trade,
tailors say their older customers, who
are not within the draft age, have
decreased their patronage and are
ordering fewer suits in season.
