SCHOOL NOTES
(By D. w. and T. T.)

Improvement in the spring few
er situation continues. Latest re-
ports show that all victims are on
the road to recovery, and in few
days hope to be up and digging"
Then we'll be able to tell you lots
more nice stories. For this week
however, We'll just limit our news
to the account of the standing of
classes.
The Freshmen are as brilliant
a green as ever. We earnestly
trust little of the brightness will
have faded a few months hence.
They say that everyone has his
own hero, but anyone is a hero to
the Freshmen, who gets grade
of above 80 in department. Of
course there are a few heroes
among us, altho we have a few
who are exceptionally good and
obedient. Indeed! some get the
startling grades of so and 60.
We take it upon ourselves to
offer little friendly advice to the
love-lorn Sophomores.
My dear Miss "Faxfaire:" l am
a Sophomore of l6, pretty and at
tractive. l am keeping company
with a Sophomore boy of II. Many
of the Seniors. especially those
lovely dudes with the canes, ask
me for dates. Am | wasting my
time with the Sophomores?
Miss (M)
A n w Dear Miss: You
should follow your affections
where they lead you. Besides,
those Seniors might put foolish
ideas into your head.
Miss "Faxfaire."
The Junior class is still giind-
ing. The high cost of knowledge
is certainly advancing; but steady
grinding of the mill brings a de-
sired result.
The Seniors, of course, you
know are always Industrious.
Now we are at work on the COM
ing play. The big idea is to get
Some Glass" ready by the end of
May. The play is a good one and
should prove to be very entertain
ing. 1t is not easy to give but
when done right is worthy of
effort. The caste is chosen and
they are working herd on the first
act. Talk the play up and see that
everyone attends when the time
comes.
Don't forget the basketball
games Friday the 26th. They will
be the last of The season; so turn
out. all ye little ones, big ones,
lean ones, fat ones, scrawny ones,
gay young frisscrs. and grave old
plodders.
Last Friday evening two stud
ents entered Ccachs' ice-cream
parlor. IIE with twenty cents
and n date.
She-I'll take coke.
He-Gimme a hot chocolate.
She-Make mine a hot choco-
late, too.
He'll take the coke.
BY this time you certainly know
all there is about us, so-discon-
tinued. Yours boneheadedly,

Governor Cox will get the solid vote Of the south. of course, and of the women of the south who are qualified to vote he will get at least a two thirds majority of the ballots cast. Ii Is also my opinion that Governor Cox will get a large per cent of the votes cast by the women of the east and west, and many of the doubtful states will go democratic because of the vote of the women." MT. Currie continued
 LEAGUE WILL WIN
 The League of Nations is going to win the vote of the women of the na . tion. They realize that it is one of the most important matters that the nation is confronted with today. They see in 1t practical and business-lik way as well as the honorable way to keep their sons and brothers from ever going to another war.
 "The women who will vote at the
 next presidential election also see
 in the League of Nations som ething
 that is different from the ordinary
 run of everyday politics. It is not
 something that a certain bunch of
 P"nueiaHS WnO nave grown old
 and fat at the game are trying to
 put over. They see in it something
 that is cleaner and better, and even
 the belief that the peace of the
 world can be obtained for a while
 through it's use Is more than
 enough to win the votes of n large
 majority of the women voters of
 the United States
 But there is another factor, equally as strong as the women voters that will back Governor Cox up to the limit That big part of the voters of this country is the labor vote. Labor condi- tons have been unsettled for some time, and labor conditions have been settled in many different states ir many different ways. But never, I be- lleve has labor dispute been settled in any state in this country in such a fair manner and with equal justice to both parties concerned, as in the state of Ohio.
 GOT THE FACTS
 And Governor Cox, when he was governor of the state of Ohio, was on.

 the farm loan systems, the fedora reserve banks over the country, the work done by the government Aright here in our own state on the Warrior river and dozens of other things that I could tell about and will tell about later. They know as well as everybody else that the democratic party stands supreme, not in greatness of talk. but in the greatness of the number of deeds and service well done"

Currie, chairman of the finance committee for the demo- cratic fund, says that only small part of them have contributed to the fund as yet. Mir.
