It’s Mercury! Attacks the
Bones, Salivates and
Makes You Sick
There's no reason why a. person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when a few cents buys a jarge
bottle of Dodson’s Diver Tone —a per
fect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Live<- Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercu”y and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a
day’s wopk. Take a spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone Instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
moT**y is waiting for you.—(Advt.)

RHEUMATISM
A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by
One Who Had It
, In the Spring of 1593 I was attacked
by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheuma
tism. I suffered as only those who have
it know for over three years. I tried
remedy after remedy, and doctor after
doctor, but such relief as I received was
only temporary. Finally, I found a
remedy that cured me completely, and
It has never returned. I have given it
to a number who were terribly afflicted
and even bedridden with rheumatism,
some of them 70 to 80 years old, and re
sults were the same as in my own case.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this marvel
ous healing power. Don’t send a cent;
simply mail your name and address and
I will send it free to try. After you
have used it and i has proven itself to
be that long-looked-for means of getting
rid of your rheumatism, you may send
the price of it, one dollar; but under
stand, I do not want your money unless
you are perfectly satisfied to send it.
Isn’t that fair? Why suffer any longer
when relief is thus offered you free.
Don’t delay. Write today.

Woman Is Rescued
; By One-Armed Man
DOUISVILLE, Ky.—Mrs. Mag
gie LaDuke, forty-three years old,
| jumped into the canal at the foot
of Twentieth street. She was res-
1 cued by J. J. Welsh, a one-armed
man, foreman of a gang handling
coal for the Louisville Railway
company’s power plant. Welsh
managed to keep the woman’s
head above water until help ar
rived.
At the Fourth police district
station Mrs. LaDuke said her
mind is unbalanced, and that for
some time she has been afraid
lest harm befall her four chil
dren. She lives at 2208 Columbia
street.
As the matron at the county
jail was removing Mrs. LaDuke’s
clothing, preparatory to putting
dry garments on her, Mrs. La-
Duke seized her belt, looped it
around her neck in a vain ef
fort to strangle herself. Her
sanity will be investigated.
HOUSTON PLANS
TO ENTERTAIN
U. C. V. OCT 5-8
HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 24.— Plans
for entertaining the estimated 75,-
000 visitors to Houston during the
reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans October 5 to 8 rapidly are
nearing completion and a final drive
for accomnrodations in private
homes for some 50,300 of these visi
tors now is under way. Pledges to
care for thousands of the visitors al
ready have been received and it is
expected that -within a few days suf
ficient accommodations, outside
those to be provided by Houston ho
tels and a ‘‘veterans camp,” will
have been secured.
Sons of Confederate Veterans, as
usual, under the direction of their
commander in chief, N. B. Forrest,
are in charge of the preparations for
the reunion, and within the last
week Carl Hinton, adjutant-in-chief
of the Sons of Veterans, has moved
his headquarters from Denver, Colo.,
to Houston.
Appointments of sponsorial staffs
for two of the three army depart
ments. Sponsorial staffs for the
other department and for the gener
al headquarters were announced
some time ago, but none of the ap
pointments for th© 17 divisions has
been received.
For the Army of North Virginia
department, its commander, Lieuten
ant General Julian S. Carr, of Dur
ham, N. C., has appointed Mrs. Kate
Patton Irvin, of Danville, Va., as
sponsor. Maids, of honor will be:
Miss Inez Jackson Austin, New York
city; Mrs. Lindsay J. Clelland, Mrs.
Mary Bond and Miss Mary Lyon, Co
lumbia, S. C., and Mrs. Mary Austin
Hall, New York city. The chaperon
for the department will be Mrs. B.
Mims, Winston-Salem, N. C., and the
matron of honor Mrs. Lily Morehead
Mebane, Spray, N. C.
For the Army of Tennessee de
partment, Lieutenant General Cal
vin B. Vance, department com
mander, hag made the following ap
pointments. Sponsor, Miss Selene
Roundtree, Birmingham, Ala.; maids
of honor, Miss Lillian Rose, Tusca
loosa, Ala.; Miss Camille Thompson,
Memphis, Tenn.; Miss Adelaide
Baum, Dublin, Ga.; chaperons, Mrs.
Virginia Owen Lamb, Batesville,
Miss.; and Mrs. Joseph E. Ander
hold Anniston, Ala.; matron of hon
or, Mrs. James Lewis Stinston,
Mayfield, Ky.
Many reports of large delegations
which will come to the reunion are
being received daily, many of which
tell of the plans for bringing the
veterans to Houston at little or no
cost t 0 themselves. One of the most
interesting reports came from Wic
hita Falls, the oil city of northwest
Texas, where, it wa a reported, a
fund for paying all expenses of
every veteran has been raised. In
addition each old soldier will be pro
vide with a new uniform free and
will be attended by a Boy Scout
during the entire trip, the expenses
of the boys also to be paid out of
the fund.
A feature of the entertainment
just announced will be an airplane
exhibition by a fleet of eight planes
owned by a Houston oil magnate. In
connection with the exhibition, it
was announced, a free ride in a
racing plane will be given the old
est and youngest of the veterans at
the reunion.
Potatoes and Shirts
Destroyed by Storage
Disease, Says Chemist
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—Americans
must pay “for four sweet potatoes ev
ery time two are delivered, and for an
extra shirt they do not receive when
ever they buy six,” because of dis
ease that destroys important raw ma
terials particularly foodstuffs in
storage and transit, declared H. E.
Howe, of the national research coun
cil, who spoke at the chemical in
dustries exhibition here.
To reduce this costly waste and
lower prices, he urged chemists to
study destructive forces with a view
to providing proper storage after
food has been produced.
Grinnell Jones, of the United
States tariff commission, reported
tlye production in the United States
last year totaled 63,000,000 pounds,
an 8 per cent increase over 1918.
The average value, he said, was un
changed—sl.o7 a pound.

Two Cents a Pound for Tobacco
Was Price in Colonial Days
TOBACCO—Two col Feat WEEKLY
Georgia tobacco growers, who have
sold their leaf at excellent prices this
year, may be interested to know that
back in days before the Revolution
ary war, colonial planters received as
little as two and four cents a pound
for the weed.
A comparison of tobacco prices for
the last 300 years shows that 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 54 3-4 cents
a pound, but by 1639 the price had
fallen to 6.08 cents, and by 1664 to
3.09 cents. A price of 1.52 cents is
recorded for the Virginia and Mary
land crop of 1730, of 4.2 cents for
that of 1735, and from 2.3 to 4.55
cents thereafter for the colonial
crops of various years to 1790. The
producers’ average selling price of
the tobacco of 1847 has been esti
mated to have been 5 cents a pound;
END OF H. C. L.
IS PREDICTED BY
U. S. OFFICIALS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 —Gradual
return to the law of supply and de
mand as a governing influence over
prices, and the end of “war charges”
for necessary commodities was pre
dicted by government officials in ex
plaining the government’s attitude on
credit extension.
Secretary Houston declared re
quests for credit could not be 'lis
tened to where such aid might mean
the preservation of high price levels.
He added that many persons com
plaining of what they term the re
strictive board wish credit to en
able them to hold their commodities
until market conditions produce high
er prices. Mr. Houston said the gov
ernment could not lend its aid under
such circumstances without becom
ing a party to a conspiracy against
the consumer.
Credit for marketing of commodi
ties may be had from the local banks,
Governor Harding, of the board, has
told the representatives of the cot
ton and wool growers, stockmen and
farm associations who have sought
the influence of the board for the ex
tension of credits. Disposal of their
stocks as the demand will absorb
them, Mr. Harding said, will enable
producers to liquidate their holdings
and ease a falling market.
Prices on articles which have been
under governmental control have
broken sharply, according to How
ard E. Figg, special assistant to the
attorney general in charge of the
campaign to lower living costs, who
cited recent statements of the bureau
of labor statistics as substantiating
his claim. For the next two years,
Mr. Figg said, the distribution of
food, feeds and clothing will be gov
erned by supply and demand with
out the need for government super
vision of prices. Merchants through
out the country, he declared, are real
izing prices must meet the demand
for their goods and that the return
to nearly normal or pre-war condi
tions is not far distant.

Poisoned Meal Brings
Arrest of 5 Negroes
GREENVILLE, Ala., Sept. 23.
ive negroes, Joe Washington, Jesse
cChontico and his wife. Texana Mc
hontico; Katie Mae Sanders and
ess Goldsmith, were arrested by
heriff King Murphy last night and
e held in the county jail on suspi
:on of being; responsible for the
oisoning of twenty-four guests at
’c Wilkinson hotel here Tuesday
ight.
An investigation was made as soon
s' the guests of the hotel became
1, and it has ben determined that
rsenic was in the biscuits served
ft the evening meal. Joe Washing
?>n is a negro preacher of khe "Do
light” denomination. A package of
rat poison was found at the house
of one of the negroes. A full inves
tigation of the poisoning is under
of 1849, 7 cents, and of 1853, 10 cents
per pound. These facts are assem
bled in an article contained in the
Yearbook of the United States de
partment of agriculture, recently is
sued.
The annual estimate of the pro
ducer’ average price of tobacco by
the bureau of crop estimates began
in 1863 with 14.8 cents per pound in
gold. In the decade 1865-74 the aver
age was 9.5 cents, and low water
mark since the Civil war was reached
in 1895-1904, when the average was
7 cents. In one year—lß96—the
price was as low as 6 cents. There
after the upward movement of prices
brought tobacco to 10.1 cents per
pound in 1905-14, 14.7 cents in 1916,
24 cents in 1917, 28 cents in 1918
and 39 cents in 1919. Th© gain in
price since 1896 may not have been
entirely due to the diminishing pur
chasing power of the dollar. There
was increased cost of production, and
producers have been stronger finan
cially and more able to hold for a
ATLANTIAN HEARS
PHONOGRAPH AT
SEA BY WIRELESS
Somewhere out In the Atlantic
ocean a phonograph played “Home
Sweet Home” Wednesday night. And
Thurston Hatcher, at his home in
Decatur, heard it as plainly as
though it were across the street.
Mr. Hatcher is not a Munchausen,
he is an amateur wireless operator,
also a prominent Atlanta photogra
ph r.
“I was sitting alone in my observa
tory, ‘listening in’ on the raido
phone,” he says. “Often I’ve heard
conversations among radio operators
in this territory, but this is the first
time I ever heard music in the At
lantic.
“Two operators began to talk
‘Hello.’ said one, ‘this is K-2-0, who
is talking?’ The answer was, ‘This
is I-X-B.’ I looked in the code book
and identified them. K-2-0 is the
American steamship Ontario. and
I-X-B is the xvireless station at
Green Harbor. Maine.
“I listened to them talk for a
while, then the man on the Ontario
said, ‘Would you like to have some
music?’ Green Harbor answered ‘yes.’
There was a moment’s pause, then I
heard a violin solo as plain as
though it was across the street. It
was ‘Home. Sweet Home.’
“Os course, I do not know where
the Ontario was, but presumably it
was somewhere on the Atlantic, un
less it was in the Great Lakes, or
the Gulf.”
President Wilson
To Participate in
Democratic Drive
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. —Presi-
dent Wilson will actively participate
in the Democratic presidential cam
paign when “the proper time comes,’’
it was stated today at the White
House. He probably will not make
any speeches, said, but will
confine himself to statements on
campaign issues, particularly the
League of Nations.
The president is keeping in touch
with the campaign through the
newspapers and party leaders. While
he has not received a formal invita
tion from Democratic headquarters
to take part in the campaign, 'White
House officials said he considered <t
his duty to do so as a member of
the party.
Agriculture College
Needs More Room
ATHENS, Ga., Sept. 23.—The Geor
gia State college has opened with
the largest and most representative
student body in the history of the
school. Students are registered from
almost every county in the state of
Georgia, and many states of the
south and east are also well repre
sented.
According to Mr. Conner, chairman
of the board of trustees, every class
room is filled to capacity and some
of the classes are so large that they
have to meet in the auditorium. The
school is sorely in need of more
room and more equipment as the
student body has been practically
doubled in the last two years.

Wage Moist Duel
With Big Fire Hose
SHANGHAI. —Two members of
the French volunteer fire brigade
here fought a duel with fire hose
recently. The brigade is com
posed largely of business men.
Henri Numa and Georges Clergue
quarrelled, a challenge was given
and accepted.
The principals had expressed
their intention to meet on the field
on honor with deadly weapons
when they, were prevailed by of
ficers of the brigade to use fire
streams under high pressure, at
a range of twenty feet. The com
bat, which took place in the courr
yard of the fire station, lasted
about fifteen minutes, when
Numa, after being slowly forced
backward by the watery torrent,
lost his helmet and went down as
the big nozzle escaped from his
clutch.
WORLD WAR HERO
REFUSES TO QUIT
U. S. ARMY LIFE
Wearing coveted military decora
tions of two armies for exceptional
gallantry in action on many battle
fronts during the world war, Cor
poral Harry Sawyer, United States
army, now on duty in Atlanta with
the army recruiting service, firmly
refuses to quit the service until the
expiration of his enlistment period,
although he has repeatedly been of
fered a discharge for physical dis
ability. resulting from wounds re
ceived while on the western front.
Corporal Sawyer is a remarkable
soldier, his superior officers say. He’s
the most quiet, unassuming, modest
chap in the recruiting office, not
withstanding the fact that he was
born in Chicago, 111. Atlanta doctors
are now treating him daily, as he
has never fully recovered from the
effects of an overdose of the first
wave of chlorine gas the Boche sent
over on April 23, 1915.
, But Corporal Sawyer refuses to
return to the status of a mere civil
ian. He loves the khaki uniform; he
has suffered in it and now he de
clares he will continue to wear it
until the army forces him to take
it off. . ,
A diminuitiv' chap of 114 pounds,
and only twenty-four years old, Hit
corporal always- loved the lite of a
soldier. He wanted action. So he
enlisted as a memmeber of the 110th
Irish-Canadian infantry at the out
break df the war, and was promptly
assigned to the immortal “Princess
Pat” regiment, the suvivors of which
today number exactly eighteen.
Was With Canadians
Corporal Sawyer -is entitled to
wear the Canadian class A service
badge, having been a member of the
expeditionary forces of 1914-15; this
engagement badge was formerly
known as the coveted “Marne Star,’
and has a medal attached; he is also
a wearer of the British war medal,
which is given for active service on
all fronts; the Victory medal, given
any soldier of the allied forces; two
wound bars (the British use a silver
bar instead of the coat chevron in
their wound designations); one red
coat chevron, for 1914 service, and
three blue coat chevrons, showing
that the wearer was in British serv
ice on the front in 1915, 1916, 1917,
respectively.
The “Princess Pat” regiment pro
ceeded overseas to the battle lines
during the first weeks of the war,
and as a member of it Corporal Saw
yer saw service on the western front
for many months while the war was
at its heighth, and his unit was an
important cog in the machine of the
famous “British Contemptibles.”
Speaking of that first gas attack
(staged in the Polygon woods on the
Ypres offensive), the corporal said:
“When v*e saw the first elements ot
the cloud arising in the distance
near the Boche lines, we thought it
was a natural cloud and did not
dream it contained the stuff which
would send most of us to Blighty,
but as it grew closer we felt its ef
fects and tried to shield ouorselves
with handkerchiefs and hats, and as
soon as the Red Cross people could
prepare them —gauze pads soaked in
ammonia (the ammonia was worse
than the gas). We were absolutely
at their mercy. The casualties were,
as is a matter of history, countless.”
Twice Wounded
After coming out of the hospital
he was assigned to the Fourth Ca
nadian Mounted rifles. He saw serv
ice with that regiment until Sep
tember, 1918, when he was wounded
in the Cambrai offensive. While
manning a machine gun h© was
wounded by a German machine gun
ner, and a few minutes later was
struck in the same side by frag
ments of a high explosive shell, and
lay upon the battle field in a state
of coma from 9 o’clock in the morn
ing till 2 p. m. In speaking of his
wait for the stretcher to carry him
off the field Sawyer said: “I re
member going, into a sub-conscious
state, and that Fritz was putting
over a heavy barrage, so, fool that I
was, I stuck my hands up in the air
to keep.any pieces of shell from fall
ing on me.” When he went to the
hospital this second time he weighed
136 pounds, but in three weeks he
weighed 96 pounds.
Sawyer was sent back to Canada
in February, 1919, and was dis
charged from the British army in
May of that year.
On September 23, 1919, he enlisted
in the American army and went over
seas again, this time with the Sili
cian expedition to Ochtendung, Ger
many. When he saw that the cli
mate of that country was affecting
his weakened lungs, he had himself
examined by the medical authori
ties and was returned to this coun
try February 25, 1920.
Upon his being sent back to this
country and re-examined he was of
fered a disability discharge, but re
fused to accept it, saying, that he
had “signed up” for three full years
and was going to "stick it out or
die trying.’’
Wills Estate to
State Sanitarium
AUGUSTA, Ga., Sept. 23.—Because
none of his family liked crazy people,
AV. H. Strangman, an Augustan, who
recently died at the state sanitarium
at Milledgeville, where he had been
an inmate for fifteen years, declined
to leave his estate to any of his rel
atives, but instead willed it to .ie
state sanitarium. He is said to own
property in Richmond county valued
at $1,300.
Mr. Strangman was known to have
declared in one of his lucid moments,
“I won’t leave my family a thing.
They don’t like crazy people.” And,
accordingly, he directed that his
guardian draw up his will, making
a Mrs. Farrell, of Hardwick, Ga.,
the sole beneficiary. However, he
later changed his mind and a subse
qeunt will named the state sani
tarium as the beneficiary.
Unfavorable Weather
Hurts Pecan Crop
DAWSON, Ga., Sept. 23.—The pe
can crop in this section will be
lighter than that of the past season,
which was a heavy one. The light
ness of the crop this year is due
partly to the late, cool spring, which
was also very wet. The summer fol
lowing has been a wet one. A good
many nuts have dropped off the trees
from these causes, yet some of the
grwoers report a good crop. Grow
ing pecans is one of the big indus
tries of this section and of south
Georgia. More are being planted each
year.
Warehouse Bums
At Social Circle
SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga., Sept. 23.—A
cotton warehouse belonging to the
Social Circle Manufacturing company
was burned at 5 o’clock Wednesday
morning. The origin of the fire is
unknown, though it is supposed to
have originated in a bale of cotton I
that was placed in the warehouse |
Tuesdav afternoon. The ■ loss was '
’ $10,900, partly covered by in
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1920.

LAWSON IS GIVEN
CONTRACT FOR 3
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
ganizations now are actively engaged
in obtaining a suitable landing field
her© and In completing all other
necessary arrangements for the ar
rival of th© first mail plane In At
lanta.
The other routes for which con
tracts have been awarded to Mr.
Lawson are: From Pittsburg to St.
Louis, via Columbus, Cincinnati and
Indianapolis; from New York to Chi
cago, via Harrisburg, Pittsburg and
Fort Wajme.
In accepting these contracts, Mr.
Lawson becomes the first private air
mall carrier in the world’s history.
The routes to be covered by the
Lawson Airline Service will touch
almost every large city in the United
States.
Besides carrying 1,500 pounds of
the United States mail daily over
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 th© de
signer, already have demonstrated
their carrying'capacity for about 6,-
000 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. It is
expected that regular daily service
on the first of these routes will be
opened about November 15, 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
and manufacturer of airplans, but
he has been a pilot for several years,
and w r as the navigator of the first
Lawson airliner, which he designed
and which made a successful pas
senger-carrying trip between Mil
waukee, New York, Washington and
return last year, on which nearly
all the world’s records for big air
planes were broken.

Fails in Search
For Blonde Eskimo
NOME, Alaska.—Captain Joe
Bernard and A. Anderson have ar
rived with their vessel, the Teddy
Bear, afler four years spent in
th© Arctic, during twenty-five
months of which time they were
ice-bound at Taylor Island tn
Victoria Strait, near King Wil
liam Island.
Captain Bernard brought with
him a native of the land of tSef
ansson’s famous blond Eskimos,
but declared that after two years’
search of that district, he was
unable to locate any of the
blond natives.
He found sod houses evidvfitly
of great age in East Carnation
gulf, he said, and brought back
pieces of old ivory and other
curios uncovered in the ruins.
SAYS BOLSHEVIK
FIGHTING FORCE IS
LED BY GERMANS
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 22.—“1t
is a significant fact that the Bol
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 typically 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, who has just
returned from Poland, Siberia and
Belgium as a member of a delega
tion of three sent by the board.
“This is the problem that little
Poland is facing today,” he added.
"Poland is perhaps the most en
thusiastically patriotic nation on
earth. Its people are the keenest
section of the Slav race. No other
nation has ever done more remark
able things in th© developing a great
army in a snort while than this coun
try. It is stated as a common fact
by some leaders whom I met that
the Polish army in the field, equip
ped, amounted to 3,000,000 men. At
present there are 1,000,000 in the
fighting lines.
"The purpose of the Bolshevikl is to
wipe out completely the little buffer
stat© 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 th© 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 uncontrollable and all-consuming
flood.”
Dr. Beauchamp announced that in
the suburbs of Warsaw a boy’s train
ing school has been established by
th© 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.
U. S. Marines Enlist
Young White Hope
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—The
enlistment of a fifteen-year-old lad
in the marines was authorized by
Major General John A. Le.Teune,
when the Fort Wayne, Ind., recruit
ing station reported that the son of
Captain 41. A. Duemling, medical
corps, U. S. army, hau white hope
measurements. The tender age of
sixteen, for apprentices to learn the
drum and trumpet calls, is the min
imum age for the sea-soldlers and
according to all the medical and
military experts a height of five feet
four inches and a weight of 128
pounds is all that can be expected
of these youthful warriors. As
young Duemling came across with a
height of five feet, ten inches and
tipped the scole beam at 175 pounds,
he not only broke the fifteen-year
old record, but also several yards of
red tape. The sea-soldiers at Fort
Wayne predict a great future for
their young Hoosier, who will be the
youngest marine in the corps by fl
margin of ten months.
