NOTES FOR
KANSAS TOURISTS

TOPEKA, Kas.-It is legal 10
banquet on snakes, lizards, cent?
pedes, scorpions and other rep
tiles at home. but its against the
law to eat 'em IN public in Kan
SaS.
The Oddity was discovered by
Franklin Corrick. while revising
state statutes. The law provides
a penalty of from 30 days TO nine
months in Jail or a SIS fine.
Until 1925 a law authorized
mayors and township trustees to
conscript ''all able-bodied male

StrOying locuStS or migratory
grasShopperS". The law was en-
acted in 1877 but eliminated in

ONE MANS MEAT

BY PENETRATOR

'Oh. yes, / like poetry, he said
But / want it tough and bloody
red,
With gore and gall all dripping;
No fairies dancing in the glen,
Nor silvery moonbeams DER the
fen,
I want so bees at flowers sip
ping;
I'll take the poetry of fight,
The awful groans of men al
night
Whose oathS of agony are rip
ping;
I'll leave the moon and love to
you,
Who JOY to write of June and
dew,
And maiden's light fantastic
tripping;
Give me the man with gasping
lung.
Whose throat is clutched. his
black tongue hung
With blood, forced out by wise
like gripping
''Oh, yes, like poetry. ! said,
But l want TO sleep when ! 60
to bed,
Without bad dreams of some
mans whipping"

HooSEGoW WANTED

DISNEY, Okla.-DiSney, boom
town beside Grand River dam, is
having more Jail trouble.
Eighteen months ago prisoners
simply were taken to a black oak
tree and their arms were hand
cuffed around it, but Mrs. Mabel
BaSSett, state commissioner OF
corrections, said this was too in
human. So the merchants took up
a collection to build a bona fide
jail.
Town officials ran out of money
before floor and partitions were
installed and asked the county to
finish the job.
The attorney generals office
ruled the commissioners can't
spend money on a Jail located
outside the county seat.
Disney is an unincorporated
town and can't collect taxes.

Mr. Roosevelt is the cham

New Deal means, and it is the

we can obtain a clean-cut YER

There is absolutely no telling
at the present writing whether

WORK FOR YOUTH
SUBJECT OF SPEECH

Continued from Page One)
urated in Key West Monday aft
ernoon by a talk delivered by
him to the advanced students of
Mrs. Grace Crosby's W. P. A
Adult Education class, in the
High School building.
In his talk MIR. Little dwelt at
length upon the difficulties en-
countered by recent graduates in
securing their first job. and made
number of suggestions regard
ing ways to overcome the re-
luctance of many employers to
hire inexperienced workers.
In this connection he stated
that his office, coincident with
high School graduation day, plan
ned to contact all the potential
employers of this area in an eff
fort to persuade them to make a
place in their business for one or
more students so that the pEac-
teal experience in employment
which is so important may be
secured without delay.
MIR. Little advised those pres
ent to register with the State
Employment Service as their
first step in seeking employ
ment. MANY employers are now
filling their vacancies through
our office, said MIR. Little, land
by registering with us it is pos
sible that the young man or
woman seeking their first job
will be saved many of the heart
aches and disappointments
usually encountered in an aim
less search for employment.
Every person registering with
the State Employment Service is
interviewed by experienced job
placement officials in order to
obtain his or her qualifications
and aptitudes. This saves the
employer a great deal of time in
interviewing unqualified apph-
cantS and at the same time saves
the job seeker many disappoint-
mentS."
MIR. Little Offered the assist
ance of his office in securing So
cial Security account numbers,
which are required by many
employers before putting an en-
ployee TO work, and concluded
his talk with a number of sug-
geStions along vocational lines.
