10 Cne ClLlzens ana fOJeEb OF
OkoIona:
1t was not my intention to run
for Mayor this time and have so
expressed myself, but so many
Iof the business people Of the
town have insisted that / could
be a destinct benefit perhaps in
readjusting things so as to afford
relief from the burdensome tax.
alton problem, that / have de-
cided to enter.
While it is true that / made
some mistakes when Mayor be-
fore, all human beings do, /
shall try this time, if elected, as
| | did then, to make as few as
possible.
But | shall make the race on
my past record.
The first and most important
proposition to you ladies and
gentlemen is, do you think that
Mr.. Deans administration for a
period Of one year, not the whole
term, was worth to you in dol
lars and cents more than twice
as much as mine was?
In other word do you think
that his administration was
worth to you in dollars and cents
Forty Nine Thousand Seven
Hundred and Twenty Three
Dollars more than mine cost you
for the same length Of time?
Whether you think so or not,
this is what it cost you.
The following are the official
figures taken from the two
financial reports made by each a
little more than year from the
time each went into Office.
Viz: DISBURSEMENTS, or money
paid out Of General Fund, Water
and Light Fund and School Fund
for one year
By Mr.. Deans Admin
istration 500, 1855
Fitzgerald's Admistra-
ton same length of
time $47, 061. 81 .
Difference in the two y
for l year SAG, 723.68
These figures ,as | said are
official and taken from the totals
of the disbursement columns of
each report less the cash on hand.
All you have to do is to look at
them and deduct the cash on
hand and you will see that this
is correct.
Don't say now that prices
were higher in Mr.. Deans Ad-
ministration than mine. When
| went into office cotton was
bringing from 80 to IS cents and
when | made this report which
corresponds with his, it was
bringing 40 cents and every
thing else in proportion,
Ladies and Gentlemen, | sub
nit these figures without COM
ment except thatI challenge any
body to refute them.
In conclusion it shall be my aim
if elected to give the best posi-
BILE service with the least expense
consistent with sound business
principles, to pay living wage.
and always have a care for the
judicious spending Of the peoples
money.
BY their records you shall
know them.
Very respectfully,
: r. L. FITZGERALD.

auspices OF Post No. 67, were
held in Okolona and Houston or
Friday and Saturday of the past
week. The purpose of these
meetings was to give every ex-
service man the chance of cast
ing his ballot for or against the
Adjusted Compensation Bill.
Total number of ballots cast 102
Ballots cast in favor of bill 101
Ballots against the bill /
The Adjusted Compensation
Bill, which is now in the hands
of the House Ways and Means
Committee, comprises five differ
ent plans of compensation. The
government requested the
American Legion to take a vote
on these five plans. so that they
might have an idea how the men
stand on the matter.
The following are >the five
plans and the number shown in
dicates the men voting in favor
of that respective plan:
/. Adjusted pay, at the rate
of 81 a day for home service and
$1.25 for foreign service. Maxi
mum of $500 for man without
overseas service; $625 for man
with overseas service. 10.
2, Adjusted service certificate
(insurance), a paid-up 20-year
endowment policy. The face
value of the policy will be 1888
times the amount that would be,
received in cash. The face value
of this policy would be payable
to the veteran at the end of 20
years, or if he dies before the
expiration Of 20. years, the face
value would be paid to the bene-
ficiary of the policy. Loan
values also are provided for. 70.
8. Vocational training aid Of
81. % a day while taking course
in vocational training. The
amovnt thus paid in no case
would exceed 40 per cent Of
what would have been paid in
cash. 0.
4. Farm or home aid, 140
per cent of what would be paid
under option No. if the money
is used to purchase, improve, or
make payments on approved
farm or city or suburban
home. 4.
5. Land Settlement.
(a) Provides for establish
ment of reclamation projects for
the development and improve
ment of vacant land. This may
be government land or may be
land purchased by the govern
ment. If possible projects will
be located in each State, the
State paying part of the purchase
price of private lands bought for
this purpose. Ex-service men
to be employed on the projects
as far as possible.
(b) Provides for the sale of
farm units on these projects
when they are ready for settle
ment. Sale price is to include
purchase price of land plus cost
of improvements.
(c) Veterans may have their
adjusted service pay applied as
first payment on this land.
Against the entire bill /.
AS will be noted from the
above the insurance feature of
the bill was the most popular.
The American Legion is doing
now and has done in the past
much for the ex-service men-it
will continue to do so. They
have fought innumerable battles
to eliminate the red tape" in
regard to the disabled, and al
though there is still much to be
done they will continue to work.
It is the duty Of every ex-service
man to be a member ofthe Ameri-
canLegion. "A chain is nos trong-

Sunday School Class
Entertained

On Friday evening Mrs. How
ard Murphree, who teaches a
Sunday School class of twelve
young girls, entertained them
and their escorts with a Valen-
tine party at her home on Main
Street. Quantities of crimson
hearts were used in decorating
the living room and dining room
which were thrown open to the
young guests. Burning tapers
cast a soft glow over the happy
scene. In the game of Hearts
jeff Cunningham won the prize,
q pretty valentine, while the
consolation which was also a
valentine fell to Horace Kinney.
Each of these young men gal
bently presented his prize to the
young lady whom he had es-
eorted. Other games and stunts
were enjoyed. An interesting
feature of this delightful even
ing was the impromptu speech
made by Fred Haley, son of Mr..
and Mrs. L. P. Haley, in a pay
ment of a forfeit. He chose for
his subject why go to School?"
and proved himself quite an ora
tor. At late hour the hostess
served dainty refreshments car

PUBLIC MAY NOT GET
 TO SEE HARVARD GAME

CAMBRIDGE, March 10.-What is regarded as the first official intima- tion that the public will be excluded or discouraged from attending Har- yard gridiron contests is contained in President A. Lawrence Lowell's annual report to the board of over- seers Rumors were current follow ing various hostile demonstrations at games last year that the public would henceforth be barred.
 While avoiding any direct state- ment on the matter, President Lo- we'll questions the advisiability of making the annual football clashes a big public spectacle. ps
 President Lowell's report also practically makes 1t plain the Har- yard squad will make no trip to a Western college. He says such a tour would interfere too seriously with studies.

SILENCE CLOAKS REB-CIBB0NS
 FISTIC BOUT

NEW YORK, March 1O.-For an affair of such magnitude the light heavyweight bout involving Harry Greb and Tom Gibbons on March 13 moves on toward it's denouement under silence as deep and abiding as the midnight hour in the Mojave Desert. Somehow, the publicity de- mon has managed to sustain a pain full dislocation of the typewriter as far as this particular attraction Is concerned.
 When the match was arranged he broke out in a typographical rash, hailing it as a stroke of consummate genius. It not only would be an ab- solute boom to the boxing fan, he intimated, but also provide the log ical opponent for Jack Dempsey. This and much more of it for matter of a few days. Then-silence.
 Such a programme is not compati ble with the usual procedure. A
 
 ing goes, by judicious use of innuA endo, conjecture of one kind or an- other, rumors, reports, denials of this and that and just plain bunk.
 NO BALLYHOO NEEDED
 It doesn't seem to apply in the case of Gibbons and Greb, and prob ably for the very good reason that the match is just good enough to need no ballyhoo. If the house is a "sell out" as they claim, why waste perfectly good publicity on a lot of people who haven't a white mans chance to get past the door? The idea would have much in common with "building up," the Woolworth tower.
 The writer was talking the matter over with a well-known boxing man recently and, although the gentleman in question has his index finger on the local fistic pulse, he could not, offhand, say just when either of the fighters was coming on to New York to finish his training This item is an unusually important one in the ordinary "build up," yet apparently it hasn't been given thought.
 "TRAIN IN MADAGASCAR"
 "As far as that goes," quoth our informant, "one of them could train in Maregascar and the other in South Norwalk and it would be all the same to the gent in the box office. Right now he needs more arms than an octopus to handle the rush and by the time one manager gets to plating about what his man will do and the other shrieks in agony over the implied slight. it will be case of selling your tickets and going home about your business"
 The sure-fire character of the bout is, of course, quite comprehensible. Greb, an overgrown middleweight. is about the fastest big man in the ring today and Gibbons's knockout record is impressive, no matter whether the knockers are a lot of tramps, as some of the boys allege. No man can put away twenty-one out of twen- ty-two opponents in single years campaign without having something in his fist. The single exception was Bartley Madden, and here knock out was improbable on the face of it. Bartley is no mans sap.
