The performer has today climbed

At one time. when the club was in

Sunrise
BY HAL COCHRAN

When the end of the day comes
rollin' around and your energy's run
ming on low, it's often the truth that
your spirits not sound and ambi-
ton blood ceases to- flow.
You drag you along on your home
ward-boVnd way. just a listless old
hulk OF a man. You've used up
your strength in the work of the
day; but you hang on, as long as
you can.
Yet, why do you fret about fag-
ging all out? Your system can't al
ways be mellow. It's bound to be
giving when work is your living.
Why, that's only human, old fellow.
You ought to remember that ma
ture is wise, and life knows what's
best. They're really the things that
put tired in your eyes and demand
that you need good rest.
So, don't get the grumps and go
down in the dumps. Get rest that
is needed by men. When the sun s
up tomorrow, twill drown out your
sorrow and start you all over again.

Adams May Run

In Iowa there is talk of the candi-
dacy of John T. Adams, recently
chairman Of the Republican National
committee = as an independent
against Senator Brookhart, but,
really with Republican support
Republicans, however, are optimis-
tic and on the basis of their definite,
unqualified claim, to say nothing OF
that for which they hope, they would
have PSI electoral votes, or fifteen
more than necessary for a majority
over all"
Democrats, however, claim 1S9
electoral votes at the start. With
such nucleus they would win If
they could capture New York and
one other State.
The Progressives claim ten States
for a total of eighty electoral votes
and have great hopes of landing five
more States. In the remainder OF
the country they make no conces
sions to either Of the old-line parties
whatever, simply saying they will
surprise them both everywhere.
Doubt Is Great
At all events, the element Of doubt
is very large.

WI Toilette and Wheeler get as
G many Democratic votes as
the Republicans predict, and If they
get as many Republican votes as
the Democrats say they will, then
the Progressives stand a first-class

However, the Republicans deny
