UNIVERSITY GIRL MARRIES
Honor Student of Home economies
Department WEEDS Soldier.

The marriage Of Miss Marguerite
Allen of Boise and Rowlie Campbell
of Meadows, Wyo., December %, will
cause surprise to their many friends
although the engagement was in
formally announced before the war.
Miss Allen, who is at the head of the
domestic science university extern
sion department of Wyoming, having
graduated from this department from
the University of Idaho, was surprised
to see her fiance appear just after
Christmas, he having obtained his dis
charge papers from the army. The
young couple decided, after an ex-
change of kilograms with their reIa-
tives, to be married at once. They
will make tehir home at Meadows,
where the bridegroom will resume the
business which he left when war was
declared
Miss Allen was one of the popular
Boise girls and one of the honor
students in the domestic science de
partment of the university.

WILLIAMS is APPOINTED
Former Secretary of the President
Made Chief Clerk of Secretary
of State

Bennett L. Williams, for several
years past the very efficient secretary
of President Lindley, has just received
notice of his appointment to be chief
clerk under Secretary of State Robert
o. Jones, in Boise.
Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Jones were
fraternity brothers in college here,
both being members of the Beta Theta
Pi fraternity, and they have been close
personal friends for many years.
Their association in Boise during the
next two years will be very agreeable
to both Mr. Williams's training and
pleasing personality will be invaluable
to the new state secretary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams will leave
Moscow on Thursday evening to take
up their residence for the next two
years, at least, in Boise. During their
stay here they have endeared them
selves to hosts of friends who will re-
greet their going

EPIDEMIC STILL PREVALENT
Warming Issued Against Any ReIaxa
ton Of Vigilance.

The impression that. influenza at
lacks only those in the prime of life
seems to be wholly without founda
ton if the experience and testimony
of most communities are worth any
thing, for it now appears that infants
and the aged are equally susceptible.
In a report issued December 20 of
last year, by the United States Public
Health Service, a warning is issued
emphasizing the danger of relaxing
precautions against the epidemic, "The
epidemic is not ended and such re-
crudescences of cases and deaths as
are now occurring in many localities
may be expected to become more or
less general"
Surgean General Blue says, II may
have been misunderstood but thought
I had emphasized the fact that not only
was the epidemic still present in many
parts of the country, but in number
of places it is even more prevalent
than it was in the early part of the
epidemic"

YOUNG WOMEN ARE
REGISTERING TODAY
DEAN OF WOMEN STATES THAT
MANY NEW STUDENTS HERE
FROM SOUTH IDAHO

According to statistics gathered by
Permeal French, dean of women at
the university, ITO girls have already
registered for work for the second
semester. The number will reach 200
before the week is over. Among these
are thirty new girl students, re-
markable increase. Five are from
Spokane and seven are from south
Idaho
An unusual degree of interest is
being displayed in the music course.
This is due partly to the entire re-
organization of the department and
partly to the changes in courses for
girls which will permit them to take
more music with their prescribed
studies.
Many young women are also reg
isteting for the commercial courses
and intend to fit themselves for bust
ness life.
The university has accomplished
more than any other state institution
during the past three months in the
way of academic work, in the judg
ment of Miss French. She attributes
this happy condition to the fact that
rigid regulations have protected the
students from the influenza and COM
paratively few cases have been known.
She believes that other institutions
with less regard for strict quaran-
tine have had their work interrupted
much more seriously and have not
made anything like the progress in
studies which Idaho has made.

And the very morning after your

ing him so strong that the sentiment
of the public is that he should pay his
debt to humanity with his life. You
will notice in the book | am sending
that the populace of Alsace and Lor-
raine were glad to be restored to the
French rule, as demonstrated by the
entry of allied troops in the various
towns. My French is so poor that

tions.

east, in fact somewhere in Rhode Is

I'll admit that living is out of sight
in the west since the war, but those

Round steak 42c pound, turkey $1.00

they have to contend with. Well there
must be day of reckoning or final
checking up coming soon. There ap-
pears to be more people riding around
in automobiles than ever and more
people kicking on the high cost of
living. I think the whole world is
merely living on the upper crust and
it is bound to break through soon
In order to brush up on my ancient
history a little I bought concise
French history and found that I was
living in the vicinity of places of re-
nown since the time of Christ. But
what surprised me most was that this
country has been at war since the
time it was discovered. Soldering
seems to be the main occupation of
all foreign countries over here. And
inasmuch as they devote their life
work to it, as we in the States would
to a business, profession or trade, it
is little wonder that they jump at
the trivialist affair to exercise their
profession.
Well, there might be different sorts
of failures and hardships, but the old
Palouse country will always be top
notch in something, if nothing else
than beans. At least the farmer is
benefited by this war. Why the old
pinching tight-wads used to be
making big money when they could
get $100 bushel for their grain and
now they are doubling that price. APP
parently the best luck that could be-
fall a young man now days is to be
a farmers son.

However, with all their unsanitary

Hundreds of acres are devoted to
grape raising and the chief civil oc-
cupation is wine making. You can
always see huge two-wheeled carts
moving along with large barrels on.
They are either making barrels or
filling them. Their railroads are be-
yond comparison. Not long ago | saw
line of men packing wine in buckets
filling large tank on flat car which
evidently took them several days to
fill, as they would have to wait at
the bottom of the ladder for the man

down. The demurrage on the car
would be more than the wine was
worth.
Each large house has it's owrsz
