b|G REWARD OUT FOR FAUNILEROY American Aviator Has Made Great Name While Fight
 ing For Poland
By Associated Press

Warsaw, October 1o.ZPolish army in- telligence officers report that Moscow offered a reward of 100000 rubles for the capture. dead or alive, of Maj. Ce- dric T. Fauntleroy, of Chicago and Mo Gehee, Ark, commander of the Polish air forces of the southern front. Gen. eral Budennys failure to take Lem berg, when the bolsheviki made the August drive upon Warsaw, is attrib- uted by Lenine and Trotzky chiefly to the fight against the Cossacks from the air.
 Msior Fauntleroy was recently ap- poineed chief of aviation of the Sixth Polish army He has four squadrons under his command, one of which is the kosciuszko air organization, composed chiefly of Americans. Aviators of that squadron. under the command of Capt. George M. Crawford of Wilmington, Dely are known by bolshevik soldiers of the southern front as devils of the air according to recently captured red soldiers.
 During two days in August when General Budenny was striving with every force at his command to break the Polish southern front and dash into Lemberg, the bolsheviki in the north having virtually reached the outskirts of Warsaw, the four squadrons of the Sixth army made 12s flights, dropped 15,o0o pounds of bombs and used 16,7Oo machine gun bullets in attacks.
 General Rozwadowski, chief of staff of the Polish army, says: Activities of the squadrons of the Sixth army in bat ties with the cavalry army of Budenny were directed with the greatest eff ciency, this being acknowledged by statements of bolshevik prisoner and soviet wireless messages"
 One wireless message signed by Bu- denny and intercepted by the Poles said: "In battles near Lemberg our cavalry troops sustained great losses from Polish airplanes, which flew in squadrons of twelve planes, bonn bing and covering the soldiers with machine gun fire"
 Reviewing the work of aviators of the southern front, General Rozwadow- ski wrote: "The extraordinary maneu- vers of the air squadrons of the Sixth army are due to the organizing ability and unlimited energy of the army's chief of aviation, Major Fauntleroy, to whom I convey the highest praise for the enthusiasm with which he has fought for Poland's cause"
 Major Fauntleroy was decorated re- the virtuti mi1itari, the highest mili- tary award of the Polish government. The major, who has been a member of the Polish army more than year, re- ceives in pay, at the present rate of ex- change, owing to the low value of the Polish mark, about $16 per month.

understand it. Their teachers require
this The children of the workingman
have their schools as we'll as the IL
brary Their work in the schools and
the work in the library go hand in
hand, but the workingman himself has
only The library for his school and
must, of necessity, go there His
schoolroom is the reference room, for
the knowledge he gains in that de-
partment he can at once put into
practical use in any capacity in which
he may be employed
The question arises, having pre-
sented those opportunities to the
workingman, will he take advantage
of them The answer is, he surely
will. During the past 38 years the
greatest labor organization in the his
tory Of the country, the American
Federation Of Labor, has been formed.
During all these years the workingman
has taken advantage of every oppor-
tunity to better the condition for him.
self, his fellow workmen and his en-
ployer He has learned to be more
patient, more conservative and more
trustworthy His hours of labor have
been shortened, his wages are higher,
and labor-savine machinery has made
his work lighter He lives in a better
home, his family is better provided
for and, best of all, his children are
better educated
What has wrought those great
changes in the conditions of the work
ingman? What has enabled him to
keep up with the swift march of pro
gress during these many years? The
answer is found in one word, Educa-
ton. Just such institutions as the
public library have made this possi-
bic, and the public library has given
the largest share.
So it is to the interest of every
workingman in the city of Hamilton
to get to the polls next Tuesday and

THE LIBRARY AND THE WORKERS.
WOrkngmen Much Benefited by Institution and Trades
Council Shows Appreciation in Endorsement of
The Bonds For It's Betterment.

The issuance of $150,000 of bonds
for the rebuilding of the library seems
to be meeting with the general ap-
proval of all classes throughout the
city. Every day we learn of some or
several organizations approving the
project. Lodges, clubs, civic bodies,
labor organizations-all are uniting
for better and bigger library.
1t is gratifying to note the support
the labor organizations are extending
the proposition. The delegates to
Trades Council, representing most
every local trades union in the city,
at special meeting held Friday night
week ago unanimously voted their
Endorsement of the bonds. 1t goes to
show that the workers appreciate the
great benefits of free library to be
obtained by them and their families.
From the standpoint of a working
man there is no doubt that the public
library is one Of the greatest boons
that can possibly be conferred upon
him. 1t places him at once upon the
level with the millionaire, the student
and the philosopher. 1t opens for him
(whose poverty would otherwise de-
bar him) the vast fields of literature
Here he may wander at will with the
master minds of humanity, hand in
hand with the great thinkers of the
ages, open his mind and heart to the
lessons taught by those great leaders
of men who have conquered nations
and shaped the destinies Of the human
race. Here he may associate with the
greatest, the wisest and the best
There is no limit to the possibilities
of possessing knowledge which is
power, without money and without
price The public library should be
managed in the best interests of the
workingman, and the books should
be purchased mainly with his welfare
in view The capitalist can buy and
own his own books. The workingman
cannot do this.
The children of the workingman
must get from the library the gen
eral books of reference which the bus
mess man has in his home. The
children Of the workingman must
have these books in order properly
to do their school work and thoroughly

ReOrganized Schools

Frankfort. Ky, March 17.-Tne
night activity in the senate and OF
the merry-making in the house
marked the closing OF the 1920 ses-
sion OF the Kentucky legislature to-
night. While the senate was buzz
until 10 O'Clock passing house bills,
the representatives we're devotins
themselves to oratory and song, as
a result of the action of the rules
committee in refusing to post any
bills after the afternoon session.
Something like 15s bills were pass
ed by the legislature this year.
Frankfort, KY, March 17.-Amid
boistrous scenes the legislature ad-
journed finally at 10 o'clock to-
night with mass of legislation on
the statute books. Among the i'm
portant bills passed in the 1920
session include the adoption of a
plan of construction of thousands
OF miles of state roads and provid-
ing funds therefor, elimination of
Esaay eaioes held as II useless ex-
pense, increased sums to help the
states wards and reorganization of
the school system.
The senate tonight killed the
Geohrlnger bill, requiring the state
to furnish free Sext books, after a
long fight. 1t passed the house 40
to so. When brought up in the
senate the point was made that the
bill had not legally passed the house
as it did not receive the ffty-one
votes necessary for an appropria-
tion bill. The president of the SEN
ate ruled the senate could not get
behind it and ID was killed by
