CLEARING HAS SCHOOL LAND
SCRAP WITH REALTY MEN


The scrap over annexation to Chi
cago and the sale of school land to
Chicago real estate men is getting
rather warm in Clearing. The village
is divided on both propositions.
An affidavit with one-tenth of the
voters of Clearing was filed by Ray
E. Herman, real estate man at 10 s.
La Sale st., who asks that the school
tract of one square mile be sold.
Many of the residents of the town
who have been living on the school
land for years and paying the NOM
inal rental of $3.50 an acre will fight
against sale of the land and annexa-
ton.
The saloon men of the village are
using their influence against annexa-
ton because 81 900 tax will be i'm
posed if Clearing is made a part of
Chicago.

MERELY COMMENT

of the daily papers are for Sweitzer.
He might add that practically all of
them get liberal advertising from the
public service corporations.
Sweitzer's a good fellow, but that
newspaper support is apt to make
some of his friends bit suspicious.
Tonight's the night. The poIiti-
clans are going to turn loose in the
loop.
Where in thunder does all the
money come from?
Doesn't look as if there is any bust
ness depression in campaign funds.
Who gives the money, and what do
they expect in return?
Mighty few big contributors thaw
out because they love the people.
The Loyal Sons of Chicago are
non-partisan all right enough.
They have endorsed Merriam, Ken
ma, Mccormick, Powers, Cullerton,
Kerner, Rodriguez, Grogan, Kennedy,
Captain and Sits.
Among them are Democrats, Re-.
publicans, Progressives and Social
lists.
They also endorse Thompson for
mayor and German for city treasurer.
Look out for roorbacks.
1t isn't safe to pay attention to
eleventh-hour charges against any
candidate
All charges should be made early
enough to give the candidate a
chance for a comeback,
Charges that won't stand publicity
are generally saved for the last day.
Take it easy. Don't get excited.
We've all got to live here after the
campaign is over. So keep cool.
Look pleasant. Keep your shirt on.
The world will keep on rolling
around the sun no matter who is
elected mayor.
And it's a cinch many will be dis
appointed, no matter what happens.

BAsEBALL-sPoRTs OF ALL KINDS BOXING

bonS each has declared In StereO-
typed statements that he will win.

But it is significant that some of the
dope coming out of New York recent

been battened down tight There are
no more reports that the st. Paul
man is too fine and will enter the ring

Gibbons cannot afford to be out of
condition for this fight. He expects
to stay in the game and to do so must
remain a drawing card. Mike was
the favorite in early betting. Then,
on these bear stories, the coin was
put up at even. Now it is back to its
original notch, with Mike a 10-to-7
favorite, which he should be.
True, Mcfarland hasn't a come
back to make, in the sense of having
been licked. But he has been out Of
the game for long time. He didn't
spend his time in dissipation, but
neither did he spend it in boxing, and
a man must practice every minute to
be in shape to meet a fellow like Glib
bons.
The fight is not likely to be a horri-
BILE example and furnish material for
the reformers. 1t will be clever ex-
hibition of boxing, featured by clean
hitting and few heavy blows. Each
man holds the other in too high es-
TEEN to take many chances. Each
will make a swell defensive fight
with just enough attack to try to win
a decision on points. ,--

fighter than Mcfarland. He is won
