FIVE voters or more to have a
caucus and nominate candi-
dates for school offices but
the one feature about this affair
that was not as it should have
been was the calling of the meet
ing at the school house without
asking for the use of the build
ing thus making it appear that
it was the doings of the board.
The other feature that might
have been better was that of not
disclosing identity of the one
calling the meeting.
When the notice was received
by the American for publication
it was observed alright that
there was no signature but it
was thought that it had been pre-
pared by the school board and
signature simply forgotten. On
account of its coming in so late,
Just before going to press. and
with no opportunity to verify its
correctness or identity the chance
was taken on its publication as
the next weeks issue would have
been too late TO do any good.
Time and again the American
like other newspapers has no.
titled its readers that all COM
munications sent in for publica-
ton must have signatures at
tached whether or not the sigma
ture is to be published. The
newspaper must know who stands
back of the article or news item
in order to insure its reliability.
But in spite of the many remin-
ders of this rule communications
come quite frequently without
the authors signature, most of
which are properly delegated to
the waste basket. Occasionally
a newspaper will publish a notice
or other matter where no sigma
ture is given taking a chance on
its being alright and assuming
that the writer simply forgot his
or her signature. but sooner or
later such publication will get
the newspaper into hot water or
cause embarrassment to others
as it did in this instance.
The caucus held at the Bruno
school Saturday evening resulted
in the selection of Nels L. Lindh
and Karl r. Won Schenk as candi-
dates to be voted on July 2lst.
The terms of office of F. M. Ro-
denberger and Earl Howey has
expired and two board members
to hold office for three years are
to be chosen to succeed them.
Mr.. Howey filed for reelection
some time ago so with the two
men nominated Saturday evening
there are three candidates for the
two Offices to be filed.
The election will be held at the
school auditorium Saturday even
ing. July 81. commencing at Z
o'clock.

Fatty ArbuckIe Given
Ovation on Return
To Stage at Chicago

mite engagement.
Smiling happily at the applause
and cheers, Arbuckle said
II thank you from the bottom of
my heart. It's the first time I've
had real smile in a long time
The foyer of the garden was lined
with floral tributes from friends in
all parts of the world and a bulletin
board covered with kilograms was

Pardon Again Sought
For Green, Former
Banker of Fairburn

The Georgia prison commission
has reopened the clemency case of
William B. Green, former Fairburn
banker, who is serving a five-year
prison term on conviction of EN-.
bezzling funds of the Fairburn
Banking company. plea for a
pardon or. parole for Green was
filed several months ago, but was
denied by the commission.
Attorney Lawrence Camp, of
Fairbrrn, appeared before the COM
mission late Monday in behalf of
Green, and submitted additional af-
fidaVits in the case. The conten-
ton of Mr.. Camp is that Green has
been sufficiently punished and hui
inflated by confinement IN prison
for period of more than two and
half years, Or one-half of mis- entire
sentence.
When the case was up before, A.
III. Longino, president of the Fair
burn Banking company, and other
officials of that institution, igor
ously oppose dthe clemency plea,
charging that the embellishments of
Green amounted to approximately
$4,000, and that he also was in
dicted on a charge Of setting fire
to the bank building.
Attorney General George M. Ma!
pier also addressed a protest against
the application to the prison com
mission. Attorney General Napier
reviewed the friendship of Green
with Mrs Catherine Queen Brand
street, of Atlanta, and declared that
Green's record entitled him to great
public censure and the limit of pun
ishment prescribed by the law.

BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, June 5. - Presi-
dent and Mrs, Harding no doubt

cotton en- route to New Bedford
Mass, where they are to be hur-
riedly made into Masonic aprons for
the Shrine convention now n ses-
sion here.
At Aberdeen the peaches wore re-
layed by another plane to Boiling
field just outside of Washington and
then brought to the White House.
The army plane continued on to
Massachusetts with the Georgia
cotton after arrival here late Mon
day and the peaches were promptly
presented t. a White House group
including the president, his secre.
tary, George 3. Christian; Edward
Moi
and friend of the president, and
George James, assistant general
passenger agent of the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad.
The presentation was made by
Cranston Williams, secretary to
Senator w. J. Harris, and First
Lieutenant Courtney Whitney, of
the army air service, who repre-
scented the flyers of Boiling field.
1t was originally planned for the
peaches to accompany the bales of
cotton to Massachusetts and return
Tuesday but special plane met the
cotton flyers at Aberdeen and
brought the peaches here.
President Harding has just com.
pleted two ST. this afternoon
WAEll the peaches reached the w nlI6
House and another engagement pre-
ventd him from receiving the peaches
IN persO0.
Secretary Christian acted for The
president.
Officials OF the army air service
were delighted over the successful
flight and were the recipients of
hearty congratulations for another
demonstration of the uses of the
aeroplane.
