Somewhere Is Right Down Here.
Somewhere the birds are singing
/ In the sweet old way of song
That sets the echoes winging
Where the golden memories
N throng
Somewhere the tides are turning
From their fury and their storm
To the peace of soft skies burning
:" Where the fragrant shadows
swarm.
Somewhere the world is happy
And the days are bright with sun
Somewhere the wind is snappy
And the waves in thunder run.
Somewhere they're having heaven
In their hours of song and bloom;
Somewhere is love to leaven
All the heartache and the gloom.
Somewhere is always somewhere
That we think is far away;
But somewhere's always somewhere
Where the Lord bids us to stay.
And all it needs is patience,
And believing grace and cheer
To show us that life's somewhere
I Is right down around us here.

sues were carried by huge MAORI
ties and now the teachers were en-
deavoring to find why council and
legislature had not abided by the will
of the people. She told Of the fight
of the teachers against the tax
amendment which Big Business has
tried to put over at every legislature
in recent years. This amendment
would increase taxes of small home
owners and lessen that of corpora
tons.

Bantam Battler to
Attempt Come Back
RY BARRY EARls.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago, June Johnny Coulon,
the little Logan Square battler, who
so long wore the crown of the bantams
on his bald head, is going to try a
comeback. The experienceof Jim JEFF
fries and countless other gentlemen
who have essayed similar stunts with
disastrous results, has no terrors for
Johnny. He is as confident that he
will win back the championship as he
is of anything.
Johnny, however, hasn't lived 90
years for nothing. He knows lot of
tricks yet, even il he is an ex-champ,
and he is basing his hopes to take the
title away from Kid Williams, on two
things is that he really believes
he packs big enough wallop to put
the Baltimore Dane away. The other
is well founded belief that Williams
can no longer scale 116 pounds, the
legitimate bantam limit, and be strong
all the expostulations of Sammy
Harris to the contrary.
WILLIAMS can't make 116 any more
and be strong" Johnny said several
adys ago, "and know it. also know
that there isn't a 116 pound boy in
the game with the exception of myself,
who stands chance to beat him. VIII
he fight me? ! don't know, but I'll
make it so hot for him if he don't that
he will have sweet time trying to
square himself with the fans. He ans
never given me a return fight, any
way, which is contrary to all ring prec-
edent. | am going to post $1,000 for
him to meet me at 116 pounds"
Johnny hasn't been idle since viii.
liams defeated him in California a
year or so ago. He always was a
clean liver and he has not abandoned
boxing since he become an ex. He is
constantly training, and spends most
of his time away from the little cigar
store that bears his name up on the
square.
In July, Johnny is going to Canada
and spend all summer in the woods.
Then he is going to come back, take
on few boys to get good line on
himself, and then spring the big coup.
This, of course, is all according to
Johnny. but the little fighter only
weighs 11S stripped now and looks
every inch in condition, And there
are lot of Chicago fans, particularly
his Logan Square worshippers, who
think he not only has chance to
slip one over on the blonde Williams,
but that he'll do it.
