HOBO KING WANTS - TO is E PREMIER Charlie Pearce Self -Styled King of Hobos, ,Again Visited Town. The last time that Charlie Pearce, King of the Hobos, visited Wingham he was on the look -out for .a wife. Charlie has now given up that idea and now says he is campaigning so that he can be elected the next Prem- ier acid lead this country out of its present difficulties. He says that Cooper, candidate in Huron -Perth, and some others, would like to be Premier, but that he is sure of election as his platform is free beer for a week and then 5 cents a glass. He would go Aberhart one better and pay all $100 a month. Charlie has worn out more pairs of shoes in his wanderings than, he can remember and he presents a queer spectacle decorated up with badges and buttons of every conceivable kind'. The winter is coining on and' as we have little faith in Charlie's chance to become head of the government, we expect that he will continue to wear out more shoes trying to get to a warmer clime. There is one thing that Charlie has in great abundance and that is imag- ination, and each time we see him we wonder what fool idea he will have to talk about. He is just a Hobo, King of the Hobos, and the only thing that will stop his wanderings will be old age and Charlie is getting near that mark.

From the first ring of the bell it was apparent that Baer had met his master at boxing and the expressionless Louis, with a rapier- like left and an occasional right, gave a demonstration of fighting that was much similar to Jack Dempsey in his, best days, Jim Braddock won the world's heavyweight championship from Baer a short time ago, Louis will meet Max Schmeling next June and the winner will fight Braddock in September for the crown, Louis has won 21 of his last 25 fights by the knockout route and it now looks as if he is headed for the championship.
