University of Kansas co-eds might give "spooning" a new name, but that doesn't change it. The two men rescued from the mine would no doubt give all the gold buried at the foot of the pit to those who brought them on top. After all gold isn't worth much, if it can't be used and you have to give up your life for it. Americans do funny things. We sit around and complain about taxes, listen to criticisms about providing relief work and then spend more than six billions a year gambling. Bob Quillen would define that as “Americanism." Street repair programs will get underway in most towns in the state about May 1, when WPA employes are transferred to these] projects. With a break in the] weather at that time, much can be accomplished in the next two or three months, improvements and repairs being needed in communities. Even congressmen can't get smart with that Washington judge. The court after fining the representative from Washington state, didn't like the way the gentleman acted and had him placed in jail aud fined him for contempt of court. That's about what would have happened to the average fellow, so the judge can't be far wrong. The community again >rays for the recovery of Mrs. Jane Acker, seriously ill at her home. Reverance is paid to the aged and those of generations younger regret to see the passing of these noble pioneers. Within a few years of the century mark, friends of the Decatur woman hope she lives to see the five score years rounded out and remaining days of health and happiness. The suggestion has been made that vacant lots in the city be made into ball diamonds or temporary playgrounds for the children. In a number of places, suitable diamonds can be constructed if the grounds are filled in. The lots would give the children a place to play during the summer, eliminating the hazards of the street and at the same time improve the appearance of the grounds. The county election commissioners have completed the job of printing the ballots for the primary. This year, those entitled to the privilege, can cast an absent voters ballot and if your business takes you away on Tuesday. May 5, aud you wish to vole, got in touch with the county clerk. The commissioners supervised the printing of the ballots and will distribute the election supplies to the inspectors on Saturday, May 2. At that, the campaign tor party nominations is one of the cleanest ever known in the state In the governor's race, tin loading catidi-

dat< * take the position of selling . themselves to the voters, rather 1 than back-stabbing an opponent or injecting ulgy personalities in the race. Cliiff Townsend is conducting one of the highest grade cam- < paigns ever made by a gubernator ial candidate and voters throughout the state admire his attitude t and dignified way of seeking the I 1 0 nomination. a The old cry of vote buying has been made in Chicago, investigators reporting that voters in the » flop house districts were paid 25 cents each for their ballot. It H rounds silly. More than a genet- t ation ago we heard the same charge and surely the price of ’ votes has risen with the cost of living. Chances are that not more 4 than a pocket full of two-bit pieces changed hands on Illinois election \ day and probably les» than that t number of votes were switched in " a the franchise purchase. j c 0 * STAR SIGNALS —BY— 1 » OCTAVINE ‘ For persons who believe that human ilestniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astroleeter.
