The Message is not saying much
about politics just now. but we
have observed this. that there is
going to be more Independent
voting done thruout all the States
this year than ever before in the
history of the country. II is he
coming the disposition of men TO
desire to vote in the interests OF
their pocketbookS and for what
they may deem the good of the
nation. Let the professional
politician take notice that partisan
politics is dying. especially when
it is only eStenSibly or pretentiOuS-
ly for good things and measures.
We fail to see why this is not a
most hopeful sign of the times,
too Let the Democracy, if it
wishes to win this year. he sure
they are giving the people 4
square deal; for you can't fool the
voters but once.

A Popular and Prosperous Normal
School.

The State Normal School at
Kirksville has just completed its
most prosperous and successful
year with an enrolment of 1,4OO
and an average daily attendance
of $50 students. OF the 400 stu
dents enrolled during the past
year. 700 will teach in rural AMI
small village schools during the EN-
suing year; 200 will teach in high
schools and SuperintendencieS,
Nearly 400 will continue Their
school studies in various institu-
tiOns.
The Kirksville Normal School IS
very ambitious to serve Missomi
and to help place the public
schools of northeast Missouri ahead
of all other schools of the Mis-
sissippi Valley. President Kirk re
GENTLY made some extensive conf

schools of northeast Missouri ara
very much better than those OF our
boastful neighborS in Iowa, Mn
nesota and Wisconsin. He as
cribes this condition in part to the
fact that Normal School and Col
lege graduates in Missouri are
practical and sensible. Many OF
them teach in rural schools ami
draw better wages than the teach
ers in town schools. The high
schools and colleges Of northeast
Missouri are not surpassed in the
Mississippi Valley.
The Kirksvile institution has
recently organized a Model Rural

KISSED BY THE SUN

Gee whiz,
Do you know what sunburn is?
Have you been out on the salty wave
That rolls in from the sea
While you let your boat
Go fast or float
AS you shouted out your glee?
Away from the city,
With it's high hot walls,
To the great wide open
Where the sunshine calls
Have you stretched your length upon
the sands
Where the briny pillows run,
And laughed to dry,
Beneath the sky,
Your white skin in the sun?
Have you been away
To the fields of hay,
To the hills and shady streams,
And with no care
OF what you wear.
Lay down to sun kissed dreams?
On, say,
How many in this town today
Have been doing il that way2
And how many tender skins cry out
In anguish at touch?
How many cans of vase1ne
Would not be half too much
To soothe the pain
OF Misses and Misters
All bloated and red
With assorted blisters?
One little dream of sunshine
Away from the heat and the din
OF the sweltering town, and there fol-
lows
A nightmare of sensitive skin;
One little lingering sun kiss
On arms or necks or backs,
And there follows a blister that feels
like
II was chuckful OF red hot tacks.
Gee whiz,
Do YOU know what sunburn is!
Well.
Amt 1t hot stuff?

THE INN KEEPERS DAUGHTER

Beside the highway stood an inn,
And in the inn the keeper:
The worthy keeper of the inn
Was what you'd call a sleeper:
But he possessed a daughter rare.
And she was wide awaker-
The lads for miles would drop in there
But knew not how to take her;
And by the way she got their fare
She proved a clever faker.
Now, whether she was in the inn
1t really never mattered:
When she was absent, guests were thin,
without the maid they scattered.
And truth to tell. il in the inn
He stayed without his daughter,
So out was he. though he was in.
He quickly went and sought her;
He could go out and still be in.
II in he left his daughter.
