Andrew Schoeppel, Kansan
Andrew Schoeppel, Ness City lawyer, is the choice of the people of Kansas for their governor in 1943 and 1944.
Our governor-elect is a Kansas man, born at Claflin. He is a former student at the University but he received his degree from the University of Nebraska, where he was an all-American football player.
He wasn't content with fighting the first World War from an arm chair, so served his country as did millions of other young Americans.
Since the early twenties Andrew Schoeppel has practiced law in western Kansas. He has been mayor of Ness City, a member of the school board, city attorney, county attorney, and a member of the board of his church.
Three and one half years ago he went to Topeka to become chairman of the Kansas Corporation Commission and did a commendable job of administering his duties.
His friends persuaded hi mto run for gover-
His friends persuaded him to run for governor. He was victor over three opponents in the primaries, and Tuesday be defeated the man who two years ago "won Kansas but lost California."
In Andrew Schoeppel, Kansans will find a competent governor, willing and able to direct the affairs of our state. Kansans hope that he will lead Kansas in doing its part to bring victory to our nation.
Food for Fighters
The United States needs a manpower program which will employ workers where they are most needed and keep them there. President Roosevelt stated, in his recent fireside chat, that the problem was not one of shortage of workers, but rather one of placing the right people on the right jobs.
He added that if "voluntary" methods of accomplishing this were not undertaken by the people themselves, new legislation would have to be adopted.
The manpower program we now have lacks authority and enforcement. Recently, an effort was made to freeze metal miners in western states. This half-hearted attempt by the manpower commission was not official, and therefore pressure could not be applied. The effect, if any, was only that of persuading some of these workers to stay where they could help the most.
The farm labor situation seems to be the most serious at present. A food crisis is coming. An estimated 1,570,000 workers have left the farms since 1940. Probably 1,300,000 more will have gone by next spring. Even now some farmers can no longer find help to milk their cows, tend their farms, and harvest their crops..
The program to keep labor on the farms includes draft deferment, stabilization of wages, and an attempt to place transient labor on the industrial black list. This program has many weaknesses, but something must be done—and it must be done quickly. Without sufficient food, we can't hope to win the war.-P.B.

The outlook is generally much brighter, believes the Kansas City Kansan, for the boys who look out.
The Atchison Globe defines a nuisance as an old man always contemplating matrimony.

Just Wondering
The election proved we still have a democracy despite many rumors to the contrary. At least, we can still elect Republicans to office.

One reason why the Salina Journal prefers democracy to dictatorship is that at the end of half an hour our political leaders have to relinquish the microphone in favor of some all-girl orchestra.

BETTY LOU PERKINS
A slight mixup occurred at the Chi Omega-Phi Fsi hour dance Tuesday Actives, studying in their rooms, were startled and definitely dumbfounde to hear the strains of "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" drifting up from the dance.
A few minutes after the song was begun, the Phi Psi pledges gave rousing cheer for Gene McLaughlin, one of their brothers, who at the time was dancing with Beverly Bohan.
The point of this story seems to be that one certain Sigma Chi has bee the third in a triangle concerning these two, and the other Phi Psi's we try to give Gene and Beverly an uncomfortable moment.

You can help save 29,000 hours a day
ONE second saved in each of the 106 million telephone calls made every day would add up to well over 29,000 hours-would help greatly to keep lines open for vital military and war production calls.
A single second is that important. So answer promptly, giving your location and name, and keep your conversation brief. When making a call, be sure you have the right number—use the directory—call Information only when it's really necessary. And please don't use Long Distance to defense areas unless your call is urgent.
The Bell System has a big job to do. By saving seconds you may make room for a vital war-time call.
