They want the news to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be kind and considerate; to wiser Leads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of Kaisa.

A HARD GRIND
One of the most successful functions of the year was the Dramatic Club's play "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," staged at the Bowersock Opera House, Monday night. It is a singular fact that each year the plays become better and the action a little more finished.
Much credit is due Prof. Arthur MacMurray, who coached the production, of course, but too much credit cannot be given the individual members of the cast for their uniting efforts to give K. U. a dramatic production that could not be excelled by amateur actors at any college in the country.
No one knows the sacrifices that the actors made to place the play before the public in its best light. No one, of course, but those who have gone through the same thing can realize what it means to go through two months of grinding practice for only three short hours behind the footlights.
The students who impersonated such difficult parts are to be commended upon their loyalty to the University and their unceasing efforts to raise the standard a little higher for next year's play. It is this sort of loyalty and spirit that the University of Kansas needs; the earnest endeavors of her students to do each year something better, something more appreciated and more enjoyable, than has ever been done before, whether in athletics, dramas or in leadership
The government project of shipping in 200,000 pounds of Danish sugar may give us a little more "sweetenit," but it sours us all the more. Our foods stuff and move so many money have been shipped out.
BACHELORS BEWARE
The kidnapping of Jack Barnett, Oklahoma's richest Indian, by a woman evidently intent upon marrying him for his fortune, might well throw a scare in the camp of the bachelors and widowers who are hiding out to escape the wily charms of the fair sex during leap year.
Many are the snakes laid by the charming ladies, (and some not so) to catch a civil man. And

Eat you Soup out Loud.
Get the barber to make you look funny.

Snow then your private alarm.
To the above we might add: Talk about the h. c. of l, wear your old clothes, and if you sing, entertain her with "Broke, Broke, Absolutely Broke." But, as for kindnapping, we give up. If she wants you bad enough to whisk you away in a high-powered motor car, well, the best thing to do is to become resigned to your fate and trust to luck that you will "live happily ever after."
Typewriter sales should greatly exceed their former records this year owing to the fact that all salesmen, use that good old sentence, "Now is the time for all good men to come in of their party," as a demotrator.
THEY ARE COMING UP
An encouraging sign for the increased pay of teachers in the public schools of Kansas is seen in the many letters being received by Professor W. H. Johnson, head of the University Employment Bureau. The shortage of teachers is having its ect on the salaries offered and the school boards are anxious to get efficient teachers regardless of the salaries they must pay.
Formerly letters to the employment bureau have stated the salary offered and the qualifications the candidate must have. With the present shortage of teachers the problem became as acute that the boards are no longer stating the salaries they are willing to pay. Instead, the letters ask the question as to what it will be necessary to pay to secure the type of teachers desired.
Another good feature of the situation is found in the unwillingness of the school boards to lower their standards. The requirements for teachers are being placed just as high as formerly and many of the high schools, particularly the smaller ones are raising their requirements.

DON'T HOCK IT YET
The will power of the students of the University, the real stickytiveness, is being demonstrated on Mount Oread this week. Coming out of a dry lecture course into the warm bright sun, and going on undisturbed across the campus to just as just a dry class, without stopping to notice how wonderfully fine the outdoor air is, how invigorating and pleasant the soft breeze is, calls for more than the unusual nerve. There is the temptation to wander down across the golf links and up through lance's lane instead of going back inside and trying to concentrate. The trees have not heard the call of spring as yet for they know full well that this is Kansas and in Kansas, it is well to take an unbrelca as well as an overcoat when venturing out very far.
Being a pessimist is not the most pleasant occupation in the world, but the true weather prophet of Kansas is at this time of the calendar a joy killer of the worst kind. The morning paper cannot be an infallible prophet for just because a day begins like spring is no evidence that it will not end with a blizzard. A local meteorologist predicts that it is as yet too early to pawn the winter overcoat.
One of the principal side attractions with a certain large circle was in educated moose. The admission to his event was 20 cents per person or $4.50. A farm animal up with twelve children. The ratekeeper accosted him.
"Are you sure these children are all yours."
"That quiet little woman over there a wonder."
"What's she done?" "That's it; she's quiet."
"Yes, sure," replied the farmer. "Well come on in," welcomed the kaptakee who had arrived for my family to see your family as for you to see my mouse."

BETTER OFF IN AMERICA
Rich Americans in England are not happy. They do not increase their riches there, but have big slices cut off their incomes by the heavy taxation that the war has made necessary. Americans circle London by the Baily car and that a number of wealthy Americans who settled there for a good many years have returned home or are contemplating doing so, "owing to the strain on their resources due to the British super-tax and the taxation at home." One American resident who has lived in London for ten years says heikes British home life and the British has vitality, but not the superior that the presenting British government with half of your income it is time to leave."
A person living in England, with an income of $500,000 from an American business, pays the United States the 12 per cent normal tax of $600,000 and the 50 per cent super-tax of $250,000, making, together, $310,000 that comes home; and then on the balance of $190,000 he pays the British super-tax of $80,000 and finds that he suffers from just $90,250. The老爱机人, the oldest慕士夫 of the inventory of the sewing machine, is said to have reported to the Irish income tax commission in 1919 that, living in England, and deriving his income from the United States, he enjoys only about 30 per cent of that income, of which 70 per cent, which he would have if he came home.
That does not appear to be entirely correct, but in the round. Taxation is higher in England than in America. It seems that in some American households in England there is a swelling chorus of "Father, dear father, come here!"
And some of the fathers begin to hear, but those who prefer the English turme must pay the piper—Bos
Mrs. Ewalt Sauer, the French bride of a former soldier, was so wrought upon by the high cost of living and what she termed "American extravagance" that she suffered nervous pressure. Her husband, Dr. Alexander Waugh, could accustom herself how such a little thing as extravagance could produce a mental storm of such magnitude. He had his wife examined by a lunacy board Mrs. Sauer cried as she told me all the money her husband turns over to her each day "goes out of control as it comes." The inexperienced found he said, "I can afford to have my meat delivered in an automobile, and I won't."

It seems apparent that this French bride is determined to guard her husband's interests. Perhaps a million French girls would not all prove so thrifty. Many would not marry here, and would. We would watch

pleased to do that. "How much, ze cauliflower?" Marie would ask.
"Mon Dieu!" and Marie swoons on the sawdust.
"Forty five cents," says the salesman.
And so with the others, until the proprietor captures a couple of ambulances and his reputation goes screaming across the town.
"Ma fo!!" and Fadete collapses across the prostrate form of Marie.
We would hardly suggest such a method of reducing the cost of living. But one can never tell what the importation of a million thrifty French wines is going to be. The American habit of extravagance—and to profitteers—Chicago Tribune

Columbia University now recognizes Kansas State Normal. The B. S. degree from the Normal is equivalent of Columbia's graduate course.
Kansas State Normal will have a baseball team. No games have been scheduled but the Bulletin says that they will be ready to "take K. U. on."
Missouri and Oklahoma Universities will argue the question of "Shoala the United States adopt the policy of prohibiting immigration for a perio of five years." The debate will be held at Columbia March 12.
The editor of "Orange and Black," official college paper of Oklahoma A. and M., is Miss Grace Sneary. The following is from her
College newspapers must not comment on politics. Especially it would not be expedient for this one to do so *because* a girl is a girl who has never yet voted.
But can't those said papers make guesses? This one is going to venture to. Here it is. Had you thought of it?
We shouldn't be surprised if Mr. W. H. Taft were to be a candidate for nomination on the Republican ticket, would you?
M. U. fraternity men received orders from the Columbia chief of police to cease playing base ball on the streets of that city.
As a curtain raise for the military ball at the Missouri University, a protechnical diaphy will show how the battle fields of France appeared at night. Calcium light rockets, catapults, and mines would be used to produce a multicolored lighting effect. At the same time the artillery, consisting of three inch pieces and machine guns, will go into action behind the bleachers of the athletic field and lay down barricades in rollings, rolling, creeping and box barrages.
The Oklahoma Daily is to be enlarged, new equipment installed and full telegraph news added to the news. Commenting on the proposed changes, the Daily said, "With the introduction of telegraph news, the paper will be on a par with leading college papers in the United States, many of which carry press services supplementing the college news."
Following the exhibition, the ball will start with a grand march led by Governor Gardner.
She was in the newspaper office, when an elderly man walked up to her and said: "I should like to get out of your paper for a week back."
"Oh, ye," sympathized the girl, "an knew, Auntie has it too. You can get them at the drug store right ahead. Ask for a master jar."
