Seemingly, there's no rest for the
| weary, for as soon as graduation was
over there appeared about forty odd
| Jobs on the scene that just had to be
| attended to. By the way, Soils bearing
down so now that we often find our
| selves a-wisbin' we could hide away
somewhere until cold weather arrives.
But with this weather comes vacation
time and most of US are taking OIL TO
some cooler cline or some attraction
that will divert our minds from serious
problems for a time.
Kenneth Toler, newsman who gives
Mississippi lot OF valuable publicity,
saws Mississippi politics are not warm
ing up in proportion to the sun, by the
way. Toler also gives US TO know that
even the newspapers are disappointed
with the slow progress. Maybe mes
| speaking of the dailies, then, because
the country weeklies have their share
Of political announcements. Holmes
| county has five candidates for sheriff.
| one candidate for chancery clerk, two
| for circuit clerk, two candidates for tax
| assessor, two for superintendent Of Edu-
/ cation, two for senator. nine for repre-
/ sentative, one for county attorney, and
eleven candidates for suNerv,fors in
| the five districts. Also there are seven
candidates for constable and justice of
the peace. This, of course, is only a
/ cross-section Of state politics for every
county has this number of candidates,
more or less. We believe politics are
warming up, Mr.. Toler! At least there's
plenty Of wood for a nice, hot fire!
We think the calamity of the age is
expressed in the following sentence :
Precious little Shirley Temple is grow
ing up" II there were just some way
to retard her age so that for few
more years we could see that precious
dimpled smile and those adorable red
curls. One of the most pleasant even
ings Of recreation that I've ever spent at
the movies was Monday night when the
Star theatre showed "The Little Prin-
cess" II was so simple in its humor, so
heartbreaking in its tragedy that one
seemed to live the story. If little Miss
Temple has half as much charm fifteen
years from now az now, she'll put all the
LaMarrs and Garbos right at the foot of
i the line.
| ANY good business man knows that
| advertising pays" is his best and most
| progressive slogan. Products of high
| quality or Of necessity are given big
build-ups and are put on pedestals in
different ways by their manufacturers.
| Contests are sponsored scholarships
i -, ~ :nh Lido
| is distributed with so-called freeness
just numbers of things are done.
But we th:rk that the best advertising
manager is ne one who pulled the
worlds biggest publicity stunt : the
coming of the King and Queen of Eng
l land to the USA. 1t remains to be seen
how we'll his logic and his reasoning as
to Advertising will work out.
We see by Wednesdays paper that
Mary Cain has been once more honored
this time by being elected president of
the Hillman College Alumni Association,
What kind Of an honor this is l don't
know--through sheer ignorance. But
| we're sure it's high one if it merited
Mary's election.
Mississippi is rapidly placing conf
dence and responsibility upon the
shoulders of our new highway patrol
| Cases often causing violence are given
to the MHP boys to settle-and they
usually settle what trouble they are
allotted in a big hurry. Speaking of the
Miss. Highway Patrol, there's rumor
round that most every body is being

so you'd better have yours handy And
if you're driving more than one car it
wouldn't sound so good to the copper"
if you told him your license was strap
ped on the steering column of the
"other car" And don't get sore if they
stick" you for nice fine if you don't
have your driving license with you!
According to a filler we saw some
where the most trying experience in a
small boys life is to sneak under a tent,
in the belief he is entering a circus,
and then find himself in a revival meet
| ing. Yes, and we wonder how many of
the revivalists thought it was circus
upon their entrance.

US a while but he's made himself fig
ure among Lexingtonians. His pleasant
smile, his crazy sense of humor, and his
intelligence all go to make him a most
likable person. It's pleasure to meet
him on the street-it's pleasure to do
/ was because of the untiring, undaunted
efforts of some of our worthy officials.
On the other hand, we know that some
day Highway IL from Durant to Lex
| ington is going to have to be improved.
