EKRS. S. Russell BRIDGES, the
AVA guest of Mrs. James A. Hixon
for a week at her home on Lee street,
returned to Atlanta today.
T. D. Matthews, until recently Of
Americas, but now having headquar-
tiers at Montgomery as claim adjuster
for the Seaboard Air Line Railway
will resign that position July 10th,
thus severing a connection of elev-
en- years with the railway company.
Mr.. Matthews is the guest of friends
in the city.
Prof Miller, of Asheville, N. c.,
opens today a display of his paint
ings with the Allison Furniture COM
pany. There are thirty canvasses in
the collection, and every one a gem.
They are mostly landscapes from ma
ture near Asheville and in the Sap
phire country.
A sale of the Adams plantation Of
500 acres eight miles from Americas
and owned by Robert S. Pryor was
made yesterday through the Allison
Realty company. 1t was purchased

same motto applies to both, Get it

A surprise awaited them as they
drew up at Glenn's garage guarded
by the Astra gency men.
Glad you came, sir, exclaimed the
agency manager himself I've got
three men here, now"
Three menu" queried Garrick.
"Why is that"
The manager, for answer, took him
inside and closed the door. In the
corner was a well-dressed, expensive
addressed man with a Greek cast of
countenance, handcuffed.
This man-his name, he says, is
Achilleo-came in here early tonight
and claimed this stuff, said he had a
bill of sale or something for it, and
wanted to arrange for truck to
take it out"
Il know" cautioned Garrick, look

The prisoner seemed to regard
Garrick as a savior. He showed signs
of loosening up on his surly reticence.

Achillo pulled out a paper. 1t
was signed by Georges and Rae La
rue as agent in fact. LET the buyer
5eware!' laughed Garrick as he re-
turned it. Now, l understand that
The money is to pass tonight at the
Inner Circle when this is signed?"
| The man nodded and grinned with
perfect worries. Then, if you want
to get free in this little illegal trans
action, Mr.. Archille, and have that
fifty thousand yourself instead of
leaving it in court as cash bail, take
me to the Inner Circle and get the
goods"
The thought of the hard-earned
cash settled Achilleo. "The man and
the girl are now there" he reported
as he left the telephone, with hand
cuffs slipped.
Garrick's raid of the Inner Circle
was a noiseless, if not painless,
affair. But it was only fifty per cent
successful. The net closed on
Georges; Rae Larue was nowhere
about.
Georges shut up like clam. 1t
was more than evident, however,
that he was not the "man-at-the-
top"
Thoroughly they searched, but
there was not trace of Rae. Nor
was there trace of Ruth or the
others.
"So-the cellar is on the roof"
laughed Garrick, as they uncovered
the little concrete room they had
seen when they installed the dicta-
graph aerial. Here's a small for
tune, alone, in these cases. When |

vessels would roll Chairman Lasker,
because in this matter Lasker, by
grace of President Harding, is the
representative of Uncle Sam, and
perforce the epithet of bootlegger al
SO strikes at him. 1t is not under
stood just why Chairman Lasker
should counter attack upon Mr..
Busch and other Americans of Ger
man blood on the theory that they
are trying to injure the American
merchant marine, as he did in the
following:
ut is, of course, notorious that
Adolphus Busch, who founded your
brewery, was possibly the Kaiser's
closest friend in America, and that
Your family for many years has
maintained a castle in Germany; your
action in any event will not displease
your German friends, whose greatest
hope of a restored German merchant
marine is in hurt to Americas new
born merchant marine"
As it is perfectly ridiculous to as
sumo that Germany could build up a
merchant marine by destroying the
Anglican merchant marine, this
would indicate that Chairman Lasker
was not only surprised, but confused
and angry, at the revelation that
Lasker's ships were "wet" when they
were supposed to be "dry."

EDITO RIAL.
LowERY Defends TEACHERS.


WHEN Representative Joseph W.
w Fordney, millionaire Republi-
can chairman of the ways and means
committee, made his ill-mannered
attack upon former President Wilson,
he included contemptuous slur upon
the school teachers of America in
general.
No better reply has been made to
the Fordney doggerel and diatribe
than the remarks of Representative
Lowery, Democrat, Of Mississippi,
who protested against ridiculing
school teachers on the floor of the
American congress, and paid high tri-
butte to the "consecrated service
rendered by the country school teach
ers of America. Mr.. Lowrey said:
Il watned especially to express re
greet that the usually genial gentle
man from Michigan, Mr.. Fordney, in
the exercise Of his customary ardor
for the abuse of Woodrow Wilson
should have INDUCED in a vicious at
tack upon members Of the honorable
profession from which Mr.. Wilson
came. He asserts that "a school
teacher is not much man outside of
his profession and regales US with
the ribald doggerel:
'Good-by scholars, good-by school,
Good-by teacher, you darned old
fool
1T is to be lamented that a man
who gives himself to business and
makes money or who gains political
honors some times becomes so en-
crossed in these things as to speak
scornfully of the men and women as
a class who give their lives to the
work of building character and pro-
noting culture in the world The
teachers of this country are dedi-
eating their lives to making the men
and women who must make every
thing else that is worth while. Why
then, tell me, should they be ridi-
culed on the floor of the American
congress?
IF teacher is not much man.
then certainly we must have some
very shoddy men disgracing the floor
of this house; some of them, strange
to say, members of the party which
the gentleman from Michigan cham
pions. Tess, of Ohio; Fairchild, of
Indiana; Andrews, of Nebraska;
Brooks, of Illinois; Temple, of Penn
sylvania; Towner, of Iowa, and
others, all former educators, and
most of them former college profess
sors or presidents. Likewise, there
are a few of the despised minority,
such as AsweH, of Louisiana; Oliver,
0 Alabama, and Tillman, of Arkan-
sas. Does the gentleman from Mich
igan consider that because they come
from the teaching profession, for
sooth, these men are 'darned old
fools?'"
Again, the biographies of the
presidents of the United States show
that Woodrow Wilson was not the
only teacher among them. think
the gentleman will find, if he will in
form himself, that it is the rule
rather than the exception for presi-
dents to be ex-pedagogues. Some
thing like three-fourths of the men
who have been raised to that high
position once taught school. And
believe that a similar proportion of
members of congress and of the Su-
preme court have likewise been
teachers at some time in their lives.
"But above all, are the country
teachers, who have ever been the
heroes and the martyrs of our edu-
eational work, and before whose con-
secrated service the college president
and the high political official should
alike stand with uncovered head"

.%portunity to Grand Forks.
To Crookston.
