Plenty OF Fight
On Boxing Card

Thirty rounds of boxing, with
four good battles promised, and
ladies admitted free, is the offer
ing made to boxing fans for this
week at the Imperial Valley Ath-
letic club.
Heading the card is the 10 round
main event between Jimmy Alvar-

of an elimination tournament to
furnish an opponent FOR Bobby

ship of Southern California and
Arizona. Humphries and flvarado

the argument for keeps this time.

pearance here in long bout and as
he has made good in the four and
six round battles, he is expected t.
do even better over the longe

tire to every "sheet" in the country is his
for the asking.
The "p. "a prepares a statement for
the candidate, in which he sets forth the
attributes of the candidate in such glow
ing terms at one would be justified in
believing the office seeker a combination
I of Lindbergh, Edison, John Mccormick,
Will Rogers, Lincoln, Jefferson and
Washington. Hundreds of these state
ments are run off on mimeograph and
sent to every newspaper in the territory
in which the candidate seeks office. They
may even go outside that district to let
the rest of the world know what Won
derful man is this candidate.
If the candidate believes his "p. a. ev-
cry editor is going to clap his hands and
howl out three cheers, if he does not break
down and cry in sheer gratitude on re-
ceipt of the epistle.
But editors have changed as we'll as ev-
erything else.
The time when paper would allow its
columns to be filled up with political
bunk" is gone forever more. The editor
can get any quantity of worth while news
and he is not going to donate column
or more to lot of fol-de-rol about po-
litical candidate Not when he has ad-
vertising space to sell. He doesn't cneer
or break down and cry when the "polltl-
cal bunk" rolls in.
An envelop bearing the imprint of
political candidate is greeted with
glare. It is opened with suspicion, and
opened only because accidents will hap
pen, and there might possibly be a check
in it. 1t is perhaps as well that there is
none for few such cases would lead to
a terrible mortality among newspaper
men. Opening the envelope doesn't even
raise any hope in the editors breast. 1t
merely excites suspicion.
Suspicion confirmed, the editor rasps
out few naughty naughties for the re-
cording angel to put against his name,
drops the envelope and its contents into
the waste-basket and turns to the work
of fixing up the latest crime news. Even
the latter is refreshing after glancing at
the political bunk"
Brief and bona fide announcements of
candidates seeking office are welcome in

Long TRADES that mean absolutely moth
ing are damned at birth and they are
damned at death-in the wastebasket.

IN THE WASTEBASKET

There is plenty of waste basket mater
being received in this and every other
newspaper office right now, and it is safe
to predict that it will increase rather
than diminish.
We refer to the spoutings of various
political candidates, which for want of
better name might be called political
bunk.
In the old days when a man decided to
run for public office, he usually equip
ped himself with horse and buggy, if he
didn't already have one, laid in supply
Of cigars Of more or less questionable
character and Jared him forth into the
highways and byways, passing out the
cigars to the menfolks, complimenting
the women on their good looks, whether
they deserved it or not, and kissed in
Vulnerable numbers of babies of all sorts
and descriptions. Admiring his gall and
his ability to absorb punishment, we
elected him to whatever office he desired,
providing we didn't like his opponent
better.
But times have changed in politics, the
same as in all other lines.
Your modern politician, while follow
ing somewhat along the lines of his pre-
decessors, uses the fundamentals of the
latter only for stage purposes. He knows
they are not so effective as they used to
be and having heard that propaganda
won the war;" he believes in loading him
self with plenty of propaganda and un-
loading it on the newspapers.
His first move is to equip himself with
a publicity agent" which often means

With his sharp teeth, which were

Uncle Wiggily cut himself three will

the bark around, cutting is so "A

He put them in his pocket and gave

he was very glad to have three such
fine noise makers.
"I1l surprise Twistytail." chue-
kled Uncle Wiggily.
But, all of a sudden, he had a sur
prise himself, for he looked off
through the bushes and saw the Fox
running toward him.
1t is time for me to be off! -
thought the rabbit, and he started
TO run. But the Fox also ran and
was catching up to Uncle Wiggily
when, all of a quickness, Mr.. Long
ears thought of the willow whistles
in his pocket. 81 II hide behind this
rock and blow the large whistle and
see what happens" thought Uncle
Wiggily.
"Toooot, Tooooot, Toooooot!"
blew the large, loud whistle.
''Oh, my goodness" howled the
Fox, hearing the sound but not see
ing the rabbit. "That must be big
steamboat coming around the bend.
1t might run me down! guess III
let Uncle Wiggily 90 and scoot home

ran away.
