The League of Women in Ken
tucky have started an official in
vestigation for the purpose of
finding out why it is that the
men do not vote. The ladies
fought and bled for the ballot for
many generat'ons and now that
they have it they are finding that
the former lords of creation., who
had the ballot all the time, do
not care enough about it to turn
out and exercise their right. It
seems to the women that this sit
uation calls for an inquiry. If
the men are having any fun in
secretely staying away from the
polls, the ladies are going to nip
that joy in the bud. They may
yet pass a law requiring every man
to vote, to wear a white collar and
to shave twice a week. If a man

MATKLMOMAL JAILS
That young woman in the cast
who offered herself in marriage
to the man who would spend $3,
000 to complete her education
has already returned to work. So
much publicity was given to the
terms of her offer that a num
ber of men proposed to take her
up. The girl inarrisd one of them,
but left him inside of a month.
She gets neither the $3000 nor
the education. The man sh
picked turned out to be a barber
with polygamous morals. The
young wife indicated jealousy and
behaved as if ft was a husband
and not an education she craved.
The result was an almost instant
break. The education the bride
ga'ned was not what she had
planned, but it is hoped it did her
sorns good. Possibly it will make
her a trifle more circumspect in
future marrying operations.

ECONOMV AND EFFICIENCY
Some of the foreign correspon

name for the citizens of the
Un'ted States besides Americans.
They figure that the people of
Guatemala. Canada, Brazil and
half a dozen other countries are
Americans. This Is the Americau
hemisphere and the title may be
held or claimed by a dweller on
either the north or the south con
tinent. The writers are calling us
Yankees and Usonians but with
out our consent They have even
labeled us as United Staters. This
is also without our consent. The
men of Maine and Montana will
continue to call themselves Am

it. They will probably receive economical, but finds that they

cost of his department. This would
be in accordance with a program
of economy and efficiency, but
Secretary Hoover is not anxious
to make a record for economy
alone. He desires a reorganiaa

can trade and industry. Our ex
ports are falling at this moment
and Secretary Hoover knows that
this situation can be improved.

It Is often difficult to find
something that makes a suitable

The materials needed -are card

Jumping jack la constructed. The
figure is cut from the cardboard
with the knife. The head and the

hole in the other shoulder. .Make
a knot nere too, to prevent tne
string from slipping through the
hole. Fasten the legs to thd body
in the same way. The back view
of the jumping jack shows how
this is done. Tie a piece of string
to the cordthat holds the arms Iu
place, and then tie the same
string to the one that holds the
legs. By pulling on this string,
the arms and legs of the jumping
jack may be made to move in a
most amusing and grotesque man

For the handle of the jumping
jack, and to give the figure: tinrt

to the body with small brads or

because thoy could never agree on
a suitable name for him. The
only thing they all agreed about
was that be was good for nothing.
"He's such a nuisance," Mrs.
Paler fussed. "He's always in my
way; he's always running off
with slippers and dragging bones
into the house, and coming in
with muddy feet. We ought to get
rid of him."
"His fondness for our neigh
bors' chickens." observed Mr.
Palmer, "ia always getting us in
bad. It won't be long until either
the dog has to move out or we
do."
"He just a cur." sighed Sis
ter. "If only he were an aristo-cratic-looklng
dog that I would be
proud to show to my friends!"
"He hasn't any spunk." growled
Billy. "He won't fight and he's
just downright lazy. He's some
dog."
Then one evening the pup fail
ed to show up for bis usual dish
of bones. Billy called and whist
led, but no lop-eared, rough
haired pup came sneaking in out
of the shadow. Several times
that evening Billy went out to
call him, but The Pup did not ap
pear.
Nor did the dog come next day.
Billy inquired around about him a
little anxiously, "isn't that Pup
back yet?" -Mr. Talmer asked at
dinner. "Itealways used to come
running to meet me. Seems kind
of queer not to see him. Why
don't you look for him or adver
tise or something?"
"1 hate to throw out a" the?:
good scraps." sighed Mrs. Palmer.
"He's such an affectionate little
thing." said Sister. "I hope aoni
one isn't treating him cruelly. It
was so cunning the way he'd come
In and put his head on my lap to
be petted."
"Seems funny not to, have him

the paper that the governor has
called, or is going to call an extra
session of the legislature to take
up the matter of regulatinp: the

This is son-.cinrng that ought to

making it unliwful for the board
of control to go out of the state
to hire a man to fill any state po
sitions. 1 think that would be a
good law and ought to be on our
statute books. I think it is an
insult to the people of Oregon
when the governor and secretary
of stata say they looked all over
the state of Oregon and couldn't
find anyone in the state capable
of filling the position of superin
