"This often has been expensive for the tax payers and burden on the city official's reputation. It is a part of the plan to give the small town an opportunity once a year or every two years where the league accounting system has been installed.
According to J. G. Stutz, of the League of Kansas Municipalities, the smaller towns of Kansas have had difficulty in finding an accounting system sufficiently complete to be practical and not so complicated as to require more time than the average city clerk ordinarily takes. The clerk finds it difficult to use the computer, so he makeshift methods which means books poorly kept and ecdom audited.
"A few years ago, a city treasurer who was also a real estate agent, had been keeping the city's funds in its own checking account.

"The city officers who have inspected this system are very much pleased with it. St. Marys has requested us to install this system for its clerks. It is less complicated than the present system and will furnish an amuch or more information of the finances of their city.
Past Account Cited
New System is Explained
"This system is composed of a special cash receipt book, a special cash dispensement book, four receipt forms, a bond register form, a voucher form, a warrant form, a loan form, and an ordinance book form.

"The enrolment from the University has far surpassed that of last year," continued Dean Swarthout. "But I still feel that there are a great many who really should be in the union. The enrolment will close at the end of next week and it will begin on Monday. It is obvious to obtain a place in the Mesaiah chore to make arrangements at once."

Lutheran Convention Laughs When Asked to Lift Ban on Jazz
Ted" Lewis Asks Opportunity to Show Spiritual Value of Synecopation
Chicago, Oct. 28—"Ted" Lewis, of New York City, celebrated exponent of "jazz," today asked the convention of the United Lutheran Church in America, meeting here, to suspend judgment on "jazz" until it gave him an opportunity to bring his band to any Lutheran church and demonstrate the spiritual value of synception.
Lewis cited the statements of noted musician's opinions, and that of E. H. Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal church, in support of 1825.
"If the church is to bring the young, and for that matter, the old back to the religious idea, it must offer them the modern spirit," Lewis declared. "Jazz is the very embodiment of the modern spirit."
The convention, however, had already passed a resolution outlawing "reg-time" from church musical festivities, and Lewis' request, which came in the form of an open letter, resulted only in laughter.

Two Greatest Fraternities Threatened by Newest Order in Independence Assertions
"Damba Fhi Data," declared the comely lars indifferently, but with firmness. "Three dates are positive y' the limit."
"Dambda Phi Caro," replied the handsome lad firmly but with sadness. "Three dates are quite enough." And so they parted, never to greet again.
Thus the two great Dambu Phi fraternities, the Dambu Phi Data sorority and the Dambu Phi Care fraternity, were organized, and, so widely are they known that, the society girls are called the Phi Data and the fraternity men the Phi Cares, the Dambu being taken for granted and the Phi Data probits under heavy penalty the acquisition of more than three dates with anyone man and the Phi Care have a t.3.15
tion that no Phi Data gets a chance at a fourth.
But another great Greek organization is rapidly coming to the front and threatens to destroy the Dam'4i Phis as a whole. The new group, the Psi Hiwi sorority, takes its name from Phis, where the school has "bare men." The girl whose man is forthest from school is generally elected president, and the sorority takes great delight in pledging for dammila Phi Data, whose allegiance has been broken, and in then breaking the spirit, if not the letters, of the Phi Gacres. Nevertheless both the Phi Cares and the Phi Data maintain large chapters every year that keep the Dammila spirit well established.
The three chapters are well established on the College of Emporia campus according to the Emporia Gretzette.
