Columbus on an autumn day set
out to sail across the bay. His
friends believed the world was
fat but he could see no sense
in that.
Within his Uranium he'd found
conviction that the world was
round-that one could come TO
land beyond by sailing Ger the
deep blue pond.
The crowds that watched him
leave the dock proclaimed him
nutty in the block. You're crazy.

out into the deep he steered.
You know the rest-he found a shore
that no one. yet had bargained for:
and we today

his trip across the bay. The

BRITISH CROPS THRIVE
DURING SEPTEMBER

September, on the whole, was a
favorable month for crops in Eng
land. according TO the British
monthly agricultural report for the
month. just received by the Depart
ment of Commerce.
Crops ripened slowly and the har-
vast was accordingly late. Root
crops over the whole country will
be below the average.
Autumnal cultivation is backward
owing to the lateness of the har-
vest.
Young seeds are vigorous and
healthy, grass has grown well dur
ing September, and pastures are in
excellent condition. Cattle are
healthy and thriving and sheep are
doing we'll. Labor is sufficient in
practically all districts and there is
very little unemployment.

Tennessee Schoolma m
Finds Joy In Stumping
For Democrats.
BY LABERT ST. CLAIR.

Some folks do not think that
school teachers should participate in
politics, but that is not the view Of
Miss Charl o. Williams, supcrin-
tcndent OF the county schools in
Shelby County, Tenn. She is the
third vice chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee and al
though she is in charge OF schools
in the largest county in Tennessee
she just goes flying about preaching
Democracy in many parts OF the
country. Furthermore, she was a
delegate to the Democratic ma
tional convention in San Francisco
When she returned home and an
nounced that she wanted to take
part in the campaign the school
authorities gave her leave of alb
sence until after election and the
school teachers under her promised
to do their best to keep her work
going until she could get back on
the job.
Miss Williams is only slightly
more than 80 years old and she does
not look the 80 by several years.
No Senatorial situation in the
country is giving the Republicans
more concern right now than that
Of Senator Cummins in Iowa. De-
sriie the fact that Iowa is a rock
ribbed Republican state. rumors
necessarily reach Republican head
quarters that the Senator has the
fight of his life on his hands and
4 that he may so down to defeat.
! The chief cause for the Senator's
3 troubles is the Esch Cummins rail-
| road bill. Labor is lighting him be-
! cause of the provision against
| strikes that II originally contained
! and some farmers are up in arms
against the Senator because they
| have been led to believe that the bill
is responsible for the increased
freight rates. To make matters
worse. the Senator has been serious
, ly ill and has been unable to cam
/ paign as he would have liked to.
The situation recalls a story they
used to tell about the Senator when
he was a younger man and running
against an opponent named Jerry
/ Sullivan.
! Cunmins PHed Up Chicken Bones.
One evening, while the Senator
then governor-was campaigning in
a rural district, he came to a farm
house, introduced himself and asked
IL he might remain for supper. He
was given a cordial welcome and,
shortly thereafter, was led into the
presence of one of the largest plat
ters of fried chicken he had ever
seen. Undaunted, he feathered into
the chicken and. ere he had indicated
that he was through, he had cleaned
up the entire platter of fowl. The
housewife, meantime, fearing that
her distinguished guest would
leave her house hungry and then
tell the neighbors about it, fried up
another platter of chicken and Sc,
1t before him. When the Senator
had disposed of that second platter
of chicken he smacked his lips and
then pushed back his chair.
Did you have enough chicken
governor" the housewife asked.
| Yes, and very fine chicken II
was, thank you" Cummins replied
We'll governor" the housewife
continued, Il don't know this mar
Sullivan, but if you can pile ur
votes like you pile up chicken
bones, Sullivan is dead duck righ,

praises of the president and league Of
nations, even BlfrlIe Cochran.
The san Francisco press was grilled
today for uniournalistic handling Of
the convention The papers are very
yellow. At $50 with McAdoo cheerins
at fun blast one paper appeared with
a so-called 8 o'clock edition, saying
that McAdoos name was not to be
presented and with a streamer saying
that Cox was nominated. The papers
bitterly assail McAdoo as the son-in-
law of President Wilson but they real
ly help McAdoo as the convention
spirit is all for Wilson. one cause of
the Cox downfall was the fact that his
manager supported Reed.
