believe that 50 pcr cent of the workers
are in favor of such plan. The state
ment made by correspondent in your
columns recently that only the wealthy
espoused it because it gave them an ex
ira hour Of golf, or something like that,
is highly improbable on its face. The
wealthy are not dependent on such
fixed hours that they could not other
wise have their hour Of golf But, con-
versely. the working classes actually
could not have this extra daylight with
out some such scheme. whether they use
it for golf or gardening or gnrgling.
The division Of time is purely man

As for saving, there can be no doubt
that something in this direction is

Fought for Democracy, Wants Bonus

TENDER MEMORIES

The news of the death OF Mrs.
Nancy l.. Van Doren will stir a flood
OF tender memories in the hearts Of
Pullman people who knew her and
of hundreds of early day students
at the State College who loved her.
She was a woman whose influence
will long endure both in this COM
munity, where she resided for IA
years, and in the lives of the young
women and men to whom she acted
as counselor, friend and mother, as
well as instructor. Her geutleness,
dignified poise and sympathetic un-
Outstanding won the admiration and
confidence of the students and the
ideals which she inculcated in them
by precept and example opened the
minds of many to new visions and
have proved a strong factor in shap-
ing their lives.
In those early days of the college
the faculty was small in numbers
and many of the students used to
take their troubles and problems to
Mrs. Van Doren, as freely as they
would have to their own mothers.
Busy as she was with her teaching
work, she always took time to adj
wise and comfort these young people
and the council which she gave
them was wise and inspiring.
A woman of strong character, she
was firm, as we'll as sympathetic,
and never hesitated to censure in
discretions, where censure was due.
Her frankness in criticising the
errors OF those who confided in her,
was one Of the secrets of the influ-
ence which she exercised among the
students.
Her whole life was a comfort and
inspiration to all who knew her
we'll and viii be reflected in the
careers of scores of men and women
in moulding whose ideals she played
such an important part She will
long be remembered as a fine type
Of a true gentlewoman

THE FARMERS POSITION

The farmer is about in the posi-
ton of a siX-foot man who has been
standing in five feet of water and
now sees it beginning to rain.
In this way an eastern commenta-
tor expresses himself in reviewing
the memorable events of the last
two years. When deflation overlook
the country in 1920, agriculture fell
first, hardest and farthest. 1t
seemed to recover a little last spring
as prices of cotton, hogs and WOO!
improved, but now the disparity is
again so wide between prices of farm
products and industrial products that
anxiety is becoming evident in places
where optimism is a political ne
cessity.
1t is not alone that farm products
stay low, but that manufactured
goods have again started upward
City industry, during the past few
months, has increased wages and
prices so far out of line with farm
products that the city inhabitant is
reaping a harvest which was sowed
by the farmer.
This is the third successive year of
big crops, but for all his hard work,
the farmers world is as much out
of Joint as it has been during the
worst period in the slump of prices
of farm products His purchasing
power has lately dropped to just
about the lowest point since the war.
The quantity of farm products that
would buy 500 worth of other
things in 1913 will now buy only
$64 worth. To put the same thing
lin other words the farmers are now
giving more than half as much again
as in 1913 to get the same amount
of other things.-The Producer.

The Boy Scout movement is no long

worth and in all parts of the land
IS intoxicating habits of discipline.

the boys, which cannot fail to make
them better men and better citizens

WORTH WHILE IDEALS

The service which the State Col
lege of Washington is rendering to
its student body is not limited TO the
fine opportunities to secure an edu-
cation which it offers. President
Holland and his associates have
higher ideals than to merely turn
out graduates we'll equipped with
knowledge. They are constantly
striving to inculcate in the minds of
the young men and young women
entrusted to their care sane and
wholesome views as to the relative
importance of what is really worth
while in thinking and living as con
trasted with what is mere sham and
pretense. How we'll they are sue
ceeding is demonstrated by the
democratic spirit so much in evil
dence on the campus, a spirit which
honors the students who are work
ing their way through college and
measures all by what they are ac-
comprising, rather than by the
on clothes and luXuries.
The students are constantly being
encouraged to place the qualities OF
thrift, industry and initiative above
par. and to discount extravaganza
Iaziness and drifting along the path
of least resistance.
It is this democratic spirit, which
frowns upon affectation and snob-
bishness and encourages simplicity
and economy, that has given the
State College its strong hold upon
the confidence of the people.
The fraternities and other organi-
cations ON the campus have cheer
fully responded to President Hol-
lands suggestion that their social
functions be characterized by sim
plicity rather than by extrayagant
ostentation and now the young
women Of the college. through the
WOmen's league. which Includes all
women students, have pledged their
hearty cooperation to a campaign
for simplicity, economy and suit
ability in dress. Their views are
set forth in the following very SEN
sible declarations
Sports suits. WOODEN dresses and
skirts and mtddies are considered
the most suitable for college wear.
With this style of dress low shoes or
oXfords are worn. High-heeled shoes
or pumps are not considered good
taste when worn on the campus.
Young women who come To college
should recognize the value of a good
impression. An exaggerated hair
dress. oyerabundaut jewelry tear
rings. beads etc and the excessive
use of cosmetics does not give the
desired impression upon the cam
pus.
Evening dresses are not to be
elaborate or expensive. One even
ing dress is sufficient Afternoon
dresses are to be worn to informal
dances, parties and teas. These are
generally Of silk. Suits are also
worn to teas. The cooperation Of
every woman on the campus has
been pledged to carry out these
ideals"
As long as such ideals are fostored
and followed at the State College Of
Washington, right thinking parents
will conclude that it is the kind CT
an institution which they want their
sons and daughters to attend.
