People in Every Camp are Pre-.
dieting the Nomination of
Honest Peter for City
Treasurer.


Peter Bartzen will be the next Dem.
ocratic nominee for city treasurer.
You can't beat him. Bartzen Is hon.
est and the people believe in him. He
carried Cook county, where the peo-
pie know him, last fall for the Dem.
ocratic nomination for state treasurer.
He received nearly 10000 more votes
than his next highest opponent. He
was beaten for the nomination by the
vote down state, where the people do
not know him. This time he will be
nominated beyond any question by
the people who know him.
Bartzen Is the only candidate in the
field who Is known to all the voters
In Chicago. The gentlemen who are
running against him are known in the
ward or congressional district they
live in, but that Ia not the whole city.
Everybody knows Bartzen and ad.
mires him for his aggressive honesty.
He will come down the home stretch
big winner.
Watch Peter Bartzen run for that
nomination for City Treasurer. He Is
not tied up to any mayoralty candi.

terrific cyclone, when the wind is

around 100, miles an hour. Wires are

:, One negro was killed, when he was
buried beneath the ruins of his home,
which was crushed, though it was "a

other houses in the immediate vicinity
of the home were wrecked while trees
were uprooted in a path Of about 800
yards wide and half a mile long
through the eastern section Of the. city.
The cyclone was funneI-shaped and
came into the city within five minutes
after it was first discovered. The old

impurities are resin and oxycelluIose
Unless these, are completely removed

whole secret of the process. but In its
early stages it is the same as that
which lis followed in turning wood into
pulp for the manufacture Of paper.
The wood Is ground. cooked, and
changed into liquid form Then it Is
cIeansed by new processes and then
pressed into sheets. 1t Is then ready
for the nitration process and the adj

Germany is under no difficulty so
far as the>supply .of the raw material

OF wood pulp, but some years ago she
set herself the task of making her
