 ON SHAME TAL1SMAN
(By United Press)

Washington, June 26-Warren Gamaliel Harding, Republican presl dential nominee, is banking on his middle name as a substantial vote magnet despite the fact that only eight of the twenty-eight Presidents boasted middle names.
 The Republican aspirant, it is said, represents those fighting qualities that so distinguished his Biblical name sake.
 Gamalel, be it remembered, was a doctor of divinity, at whose feet sat the Apostle Paul to learn of his wis dom. He had a great reputation among the people for his knowledge his determined convictions and strong fighting qualities.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat: have been requested to outline a poli- cy by which the colored teachers can obtain better results in the public schools.
 In the first place I wish to say that the major part of the colored teachers have the wrong conception of the aims of the school. Herbert Spencer says: Education is a pre- paration for complete living" John Milton says: "A complete and gener- ous education fits man to perform justly, skilfully and magnanimously all the offices, both public and pri- vate, of peace and war From the foregoing, it seems clear that the chief

AIR MAIL ROUTES

Announcement is made by the post
office department that contracts for
carrying the United States mails by
airplane over three routes have been
awarded to Alfred W. Lawson, OF
Milwaukee, the well-known designer
and manufacturer of aeroplanes.
One of Mr.. Lawson's contracts
calls for transportation of 1,500
pounds of mail daily between New
York and Atlanta via Raleigh, N. c.,
and Columbia, S. c.. The Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce and other Or
CARNATIONS now are actively engaged
in obtaining a suitable landing field
here and in completing all other
necessary arrangements for the ar
rival of the first mail plane in At

Besides carrying 1900 pounds OF
the United States mail daily ove1
these routes, it is the intention of
Mr.. Lawson also to carry passengers
and high-class express matter.
The big Lawson airplanes OF
which Alfred w. Lawson is the de-
signer, already have demonstrated
their carrying capacity for about g.
600 pounds Of useful weight, so that
it is quite likely that in addition
to the mail from ten to twenty pas
sengers will be carried in each ship
over the various routes daily. 1t is
expected that regular daily service
on the first of these routes will be
opened about November Is, and the
other two next spring.
AS a designer and manufacturer
of aeroplanes, Mr.. Lawson has met
with unsusual success, as there
never has yet been recorded against
one of his ships a serious accident
Mr.. Lawson is not only a designer

SAYSBOLSHEVIK
FIGHTING FORCE IS
LED BY GERMANS

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 22-'It
is significant fact that the Boil
sheviki army under the command of
General Brusiloff is fully equipped
with the latest instruments of war
fare used by the Germans in the
late war, and that the army is COM
manded by German officers, and that
it employs typical1y German tactics"
This statement was made by DR.. w.
B. Beauchamp, director general of
the Methodist centenary campaign
and foreign secretary of the board
of missions of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, south, VINO has just
returned from Poland, Siberia and
Belgium as member of a delega-
ton of three sent by the board.
This is the problem that little
Poland is facing today" he added.
Poland is perhaps the most en-
Enthusiastically patriotic nation on
earth. It's people are the keenest
section of the Slav race. No other
nation has ever done more remark
able things in the developing a great
army in short while than this coun-
try. 1t is stated as common fact
by some leaders whom I met that
IllS O1ISI dl III III Tile llclu, 6Qulp-
ped, amounted to 100000 men. At
present there are 100000 in the
fighting lines.
THE purpose Of the Bolsheviki is to
wipe out completely the little buffer
state Of Poland so that they will
be right on the borders of Germany
which they expect will fall imme-
diately into their arms, for in Ger
many, there are so many extreme
Socialists of the left wing who sub
scribe to all the tenets of Sovietism.
If the very democratic republic of
Poland is completely Sovietized, then
the Bolshevists will have secured the
key to Europe and their westward
march to the sea will be only a mat
ter of time. And it must be remem-
bered that Poland alone cannot pre-
vent this. If the allies desire to
prevent a debacle, they must stop
this dangerous leak before it becomes
an uncomfortable and all-consuming
flood"
DR.. Beauchamp announced that in
the suburbs of Warsaw boys train
ing school has been established by
the Methodist Episcopal church. Ar
rangements have also been completed
with the secretary of agriculture
whereby the centenary will take over
the estate of Remnow, and establish
there a colony for children. The
estate consists Of 200 acres.

The annual estimate of the pro-

back in days before the Revolution

little as two and four cents pound

A comparison of tobacco prices for
the last 800 years shows thai, the
height was reached in 1919. Scant
information is at hand concerning the
price of tobacco to growers before
1863. In the money of the time, the
Jamestown tobacco sent to England
in 1616-20 had a price of "a 81 cents
a pound, but by 1889 the. price had
fallen to COS cents, and by 1864 to
