BASEBALL SQUAD RESTS
Team Will Leave For Aggieville Tomorrow; Two Games With Farmers
From the atmospherical conditions that have prevailed on Mt. Oread since the first of the week it would appear that the K. U. baseball squad has had its last practice before the Kansas Aggie games Thursday and Friday. This last practice was Saturday afternoon while the squad will leave for Manhattan tomorrow morning at 6:00. On the weekend the players from the Jahawkers will drop off for a game with the Catholic team in St. Mary's Saturday afternoon.
As for the Aggie games this week Kansas ought to win easily. The Farmers were downed by Missouri in two games last week and failed to show a team better than the one they had on the field for spring. The Aggies have not been able to hit in their games this spring and anyone who has seen Smee and Craig in action feels safe in saying that they will have a hard time landing many safe blows off the Kansas star pitchers. The two regular pitchers, while Polio or Fischer will get a chance at the Catholics Saturday.
The Kansas sound has had a good rest from conference games later. Only two have been played this season, both being with Ames at the beginning of the season. This gave Kansers a good teamship team, but before the banner is brought back to Lawrence this year some unusually good playing will be necessary. Missouri has a team that has not lost a game this season and McCarty's men will have to do some mastery fast work to down the Tigers.
The only consolation the Jayhawkers have in lying idle during the bad weather is that the Farmers are also staying indoors. Neither team is getting into the game at all. Coach Merzeni Manhattan show that Coach Merzeni is worrying more than is McCarty.
KELLEY ENTRYS NATIONAL
RIFLE SHOTOING CONTEST
Sherwin Kelly, E. 17, was the only student in the university who entered the contest for the Individual Gallery Rifle Shooting Championship of the United States, which was held by the National Rifle Association during the first three weeks of April, when he shot a bullet into the city in the "H" Company Armory, April 15 and he is still waiting for the results to be announced.

FORMAL FOR WOMEN ONLY
Frosh and Soph Women Hostess to Upperclasses
Another one of the so-called feminine movements taking the form of a spring formal will be given May 20 with the freshmen and sophomore gym women acting as hostesses to the juniors and seniors. The upperclass women will receive invitations signifying their manner of dress, and asking their presence at the big spring formal. A deep cloud of secrecy hangs over the affair which will tax the keeping-quiet power of those who are sure to be sure, but their costume, the little diverting stunts between dances, and the outline of the whole thing is to be known to a very few.
Each class will have some stunt or novelty dance given by the whole class cr by a few of its members, which will not only live up the scene but will afford entertainment and amusement with various tunes, symbolic of the various features on this intermittent program will add color and uniqueness.
Miss Gladys Elliott who is planning the feminine spring formal suggests that the upperclass women shine around in freshies and sophistication determined to have every University woman in the Robinson gym this Saturday night," said Miss Elliott "There will be enough entertainment to satisfy every woman without in it the enjoyment of the dances."

THORPE PRAISES ANNUAL.
Prof. Merle Thorpe, when he was showed the copy of the Jayhawker now in Lawrence, said that h reconsidered it a good Annual in every respect. The cuts are clear and the kodak section is by far the largest that has ever been seen in a Kansas year book. He adds that the three-color work in the senior section makes it unusually attractive. The artistic posters which are used at the beginning of every section of the book, are done in three colors, red, green, yellow, etc., and are equal to images seen in the best magazines.
W. B. Brown, head of the journalism press and one of the printing authorities of the state, says that the Jayhawker is the best example of its own work, but it has never seen "the symmetry of type faces and the arrangement of the layouts shows near perfection in the art of printing." Mr. Brown said, "and I will work on the entire book is a credit to any printing house in the country."
Newspapermen and visiting printers at the department of journalism were unanimous in their praise of the Jayhawker and Editor Johnson and Business Manager Busnarkbur are the best people among the people who have seen the book. The winner of the Vanity Fair Contest, Miss Dora Locka, a junior in
the School of Fine Arts, from Anthony, Kansas, is shown in three poses which are almost perfect reproduce drawings and photographs which were taken by Squires.
EDIT DUE CON SQUIRES
CREDIT DUE CON SQUIRRES
"The late Con Squires and the late Con Lewis of credit for the success of the Annual." Mr. Busenbark says, "for without his help and suggestions in the art section of the 1916 Jayhawker, the book would
never have been what it is. Jay Hawkwer staffs in the future will miss Con Quires, for he has done more to raise the standard of the books put out at the University, than any one man in Lawrence."

This Space Costs Us Five Dollars
But it is worth it to inform you,Mr.Business Man of Lawrence, that the University Daily Kansan is either a good advertising medium for you, or that it is not worth anything at all. This truly student paper is one of the two extremes as far as you are concerned.
If You Have Something to Sell to Students
you are almost bound to advertise it in the Kansan to draw the students to your store. It is THE medium between you and them, AND THE ONLY ONE. Your advertising in the University Daily Kansan appears alongside the copy of reputable business firms whose owners you are glad to greet on the street. Advertising in this paper is set as you direct, in new type that has a full face, with neat attractive borders, displayed so that the reader cannot help but see it.
"Advertise in the Kansan"
is a phrase you hear used every day when a student enters a store. They don't rush up to you or your clerk and inform you of the fact that they saw your "ad" and that they want an article just like the picture shown, but remember, that the best stores in Lawrence have advertising space regularly in this paper and that they are the best stores because they have students' trade and you ought to be able to figure out for yourself just what Kansan advertising space is worth to you.
