PAGE TWO STIRRING MESSAGE GIVEN BY THOMAS AT MEMORIAL SERVICE Lutheran Pastor Praises the Youth Who Have Formed “Invisible Army” Since World War. Using “An Invincible Array" for his subject. Rev. L. A. Thomas, pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, made a stirring address before a large joint congregation at the memorial service sponsored by the Concord ar Moth er’s and the local chapter of the American Legion Auxiliary at the old First Presbyterian Church, temporary headquarters of the Lutherans, on West Depot street last night. Defining an invincible army as one with a whole-hearted and idealistic purpose. Mr. Thomas paid tribute to the youth of our nation They, he stated, are an idealistic group im bued with the spirit of an Abraham, and have formed into a great, invis ible force for good since the Great War. This group lives in the present with a vision for the future, declared the sneaker Thev have found their work the age with knowledge of a definite mission for the future. It is an army that lives now with an unconquerable gaze at the hills that are yon." As an illustration of this he cited the example of the old man bnilding his palace in safety on the crest of the hill with the vigor of youth. . . . Summing up the requisites for the perfect invincible army, Mr. Thomas, spoke of the five following distinct phases and gave vivid examples to show the truth of each : First —An invincible army lives now and plans for the future. - Second —An invincible army is one frith a real sincerity of purpose. Third —An invisible army is one that stands upright for the best in everything. Fourth —An invincible army has ab solute manly positiveness, with no weakness or flabbiness. Fisth —An invincible army is one that is altogether manly-—one that knows, and sticks to what it knows. In the course of his address, the Lutheran minister lauded the War Mothers and the Auxiliary, who were seated on the two front pews, for their wonderful work during the war and after. "You two stood in places of respect and honor, ’ he said, and bore arms for your country Preceding the sermon by the pastor, the congregation sang *‘My Country Tis of Thee." The reading of the vespers, a psalm and the scripture lesson followed the opening of the program. An anthem, "Hear, U Lord," was beautifully rendered by the choir, with Mrs. H. G. Gibson, soprano, singing the solo parts. Af ter that the congregation assisted in tinging "Onward Christian Soldiers.” Following the sermon by Mr. Thomas, Rev. R. M. Courtney, pas tor of Central Methodist Church, led in prayer. In a few well-chosen words, Rev. J C. Rowan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, sketched the history of the tuberculosis hospital at Oteen where disabled North Car olina soldiers from the World War are receiving treatment. He made an appeal for genorosity from the con gregation in their offering for the un compensated boys and girls there. After the benediction the congrega tion stood with bared heads and sa luted the American flag as the "Star Spangled Banner” was softly played. Simple, unadorned beauty was the keynote of the decorations inside the church. On one side of the rostrum, an American flag hung from a long flagpole, while on the other side a North Carolina State flag was in evi dence. Behind each, on small tables, were baskets of beautiful red and White flowers. School Girl Opens Month to Lsugh and Swallows Pin. Charlotte, Nov. 12. —Because Eliza beth Field®. 16, laughed too heartily at a witticism of a school mate, ■urgeons tonight were attempting to extricate a bent pin from her lung.

KANNAPOLIS MAN IS ARRESTED AS HEAD OF AUTO THEFT RING Turner Sinclair, Captured in Charlotte, Is Thought To Be Responsible For Numerous Stolen Cars* Auto ownerß of this section may feel more comfortable about parking their vehicles and leaving them if there is truth to the report from Charlotte that a mau arrested there Saturday morning is the head of a latge auto theft gang operating in this vicinity. The man in custody is Turner Sin clair, 24 years old, of Kannupolis. whom officials of the theft bureau of the State automobile department be lieve to be the head of an automobile theft gang responsible for scores of automobiles reported as stolen in vari ous parts of the towns in this section. R. Horace Moore. State automobile inspector, made the arrest. Sinclair was placed in the city jail there and in the afternoon he was carried by Mr. Moore to various towns in this section for identifica tion purposes^ The specific charge in the warrant by which Mr. Moore arrested him charged Sinclair with the larceny of a Ford sedan belonging to William E. Center, of 415 North Graham street, Charlotte. Mr. Moore said he expected to charge Sinclair with at least a dozen thefts and thought that his arrest would lead to the cap ture of others in the gang. Sinclair may also be held on a fed eral charge, the inspector declared, explaining that he had secured evi dence indicating that Sinclair was a member of a party which carried a stolen car across the North and South Carolina State line and disposed of it. Two other cars, a Ford and a Chev rolet, are being held by the inspector pending positive identification of mo tor numbers. Reports of thefts, principally of Fords and Chevrolet®, have been pour ing into the State theft bureau for some time and orders were sent out lately to spread a dragnet. This was quietly done and inspectors are expecting other arrests to rapidly fol low now that they have Sinclair. Sinclair will probably be tried in Charlotte, as, (he warrant on which he was arrested charged him with the theft of a car in that city. Other warrants will be sworn out against him in neighboring towns, according to Mr. Moore. DR. HARTSELL’S CAR STOLEN LAST NIGHT, RECOVERED TODAY Bold Thief Takes Hudson From North Union Street, Drives 360 Miles, Then Leaves It On Rock. Audaciously entering the Hudson coach belonging to Dr. J. A. Hartsell in front of his North Union street residence at about 7 o’clock last night, a thief, or thieves, drove it some 380 miles before leaving it stranded high and dry on a large rock in the north end of Concord early this morning. Officer Cook, of the city police staff, located the car after receiving infor mation as-to its whereabouts This is just another of the auto 'heft outrages that have made local ear owners exceedingly wary of leav ing their cars parked out of their sight for any length of time. Except for a broken off motometer, evidently done to get water into the radiator, Dr. Hartsell’s car was un damaged. The thief evidently had urgent business to transact and picked up the first meaus of transportation (bat came in view. One theory, that the thief was a bootlegger with a load of contraband to haul “places,” has been advanced, but there were no traces left .in the car to give credence to such a belief. All of Dr. Hartsell’s medical imple ments were found intact in their case w*ben the car was recovered. 16,272 Persons Made Homeless By the Floods. Washington.

NUMBER OF UPSETS SATURDAY ON GRID FIELDS OF COUNTRY Seven Victories, Three Loss es and Two Tie Games Best Tribune Prognostica tor Could Get. By W. M. SHERRILL We weren't so good Saturday as a football prognosticator. Os the twelve teams we pjeked to win seven came through all right, three were defeated and tie games were played by two. Army’s sweeping victory over Notre Dame we accept as an upset, forcer-, tainly there were few who picked the West Pointers to defeat Rockne’s proteges, and in our opinion Ken tucky’s victory over V. M. I. was al most as startling. The Kentucky team has been easy for other oppon ents all year and we saw a chance for the cadets to add another conference victim to their list. In the Yale-Princeton game we picked the loser because we thought Yale would miss Caldwell so much victory would be impossible. Our tie games were the Tennessee- Vanderbilt clash and the Pittsburgh- N Y. U. clash. We won with Carolina, Furman, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Dartmouth, Illinois and Michigan. The Tar Heels found Davidson un able to check their forwarding pass ing game and ran up a 27 to 0 vic tory. We expected the Chapel Hill team to win but would not have dared spot anybody 27 points. The Wild cats sre badly in need of reserve ma terial and the Tar Heels found a scoring punch that was effective. Fans hereabout were almost as much interested in the outcome of Virginia’s game as they were in the outcome of the Carolina-Davidson game due to the nearness of Thanks giving. The Cavaliers started slow but have gained momentum aud now appear among the best in the South. Defeating Maryland easily Satur day, the Virginia team showed much power and a flash in Sloan, a substi tute before this game. Unless the Tar Heels have been playing below form and the Cavaliers above form, the latter team will carry back to Vir ginia this year the prize won at the Thanksgiving game. Vanderbilt and Tennessee played to a 7-7 ’tie while Georgia was de feating Clerason easily. The Georgia Bull Dogs must be recognized now as among the best grid outfits in the couutry. The Bull Dogs hare a vic tory to their credit over Yale, and the Elis have defeated Dartmouth, Princeton and the Army, three of the best teams in the East. Furman removed another obstacle in her path to the South Carolina championship by defeating South Car olina 34 to 0 The South Carolina Baptists are just too good for the other Palmetto aggregations. This week Duke and Carolina met in a game that will determine the winner of second plaoe in the State race. The victory will clinch second place for Duke and boost the stock of the Tar Heels. The game will be played at Durham. REFORMED CHURCH LAYMEN DISCUSS - f BUDGET OF YEAR Gather in Zion Church Near China Grove to Discuss Every Member Canvass and Other Matters. One hundred and fifty laymen of the Reformed Churches in Rowan. Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties were assembled in Ms. Zion Reformed Church near China Grove Sunday af ternoon. I>avmen were present from sixteen of the eighteen congregations in this group of churches. Rev. Milton Whitener, treasurer of the North Carolina Classis and chair man of the missionary ajid steward ship committee, presented the benev olent budgets of the church. Follow ing this a number of ministers and elders presented a demonstration ev ery-member canvass. This was the particular feature of the session. There were bursts of laughter, also moments of silence following the dem onstration of some liberal and cheer-, fill givers. The Reformed churches represented in this group will make their annual canvass for the' current and benev olent budgets the last week in No vember —those having made recent canvasses joining in November, 1928 Near the close of the session the laity were given opportunities of ex pressing their desire for another meet ing lx November. 1928. The vote seemed to be 100 per cent, for such a gathering of the Officials of the churches. Other conferences of like nature will be held in Davidson coun ty, in Greensboro and in Catawba county. Hl’ MUSICIANS WILL GIVE CONCERT HERE ON THURSDAY NIGHT Hobart S. Davis to Present His Instrumentalists in Debut Program of Current School Year. The members of the instrumental department of the Concord high school will give their debut concert for the 1927-28 scholastic year at the school auditorium Thursday night, the pro gram beginning at 8:15 o'clock. Much interest is being manifested in the concert by music lovers who are anxious to hear the high school musicians since they have been under the directorship of Hobart S. Davis, supervisor of music in the city schools. Mr. Davis, who is a graduate of music from Nebraska and Northwest ern universities, is an accomplished musician and a versatile artist. Dur ing the past summer he was a mem ber of the Northwestern symphony orchestra A splendid program has been ar ranged for Thursday night, and those in attendance will hear the high school girls and boys play some of the most difficult orchestra numbers as well as duets and brass quartettes.

He plans to have the grammar chool children give the cantata sometime in the near future. CONCORD COTTON MARKET Cot tton 20 Cotton Seed qj THE CONCORD TIMES TWO SERVICES HELD SUNDAY OBSERVANCE OF Y PRAYER WEEK Dr. W. H Frazer Inspired Audience With Profound Sermon at the First Pres byterian Church. Two beautiful services urshered in Sunday the observance of National Prayer Week in Concord, a movement which is being sponsored locally by the Y. M. C. A. with the co-operation of Concord churches- An early breakfast, attended by 35 persons, most of whom were young people, was held at the Y. M. C. A. at 8:30 o’clock Sunday morning: This was expressly a prayer service, at which time inspiring talks were brief ly given by Rev, C. Herman True blood, pastor of the First Baptist church; and Rev. R. M. Courtney, pastor of Central Methodist church. Xu the afternoon a wonderful ser vice was held at . the First Presby terian church, being featured by a penetrating sermon by Dr. W. H. Frazer, president of Queens College, Charlotte, and splendid music- The Queens president eloquently outJined the Life and work of Jesus, reminding hie audience that Jesus came to do a special work which could not be delegated to one alone but each individual could help to do his part. This morning in the city schools members of the Senior Hi-Y groups conducted chapel exercises. Later in the week students of Davidson Col lege will come here to assist in chapel exercises in the local schools. Dr. .T. C.

BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION IN DURHAM TUESDAY One of Outstanding Features Will Be Election of Trustees For All of the Church’s Institutions in the State. Durham, Nov. 12. —The 97th an nual session of the Baptist State con vention will meet in the auditorium of the First Baptist church of this city at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon. No vember 15, and will continue through Thursday afternoon. The annual paw tor’s conference will convene Monday afternoon and will attract several hundred of the pastors to the conven tion a day In advance. Usual jpteresf attaches to this session of the convention for several reasons. At the last session of the convention in Wilrnington a new con stitution ami by-laws were adopted providing fc>r the election of all trustees pf'sll the institution* owned and controlled by the convention at this session of the convention. The charters to all the institutions affect ed by this provision have been chang ed or are in process of being changed so as to meet the new requirement of the constitution. At the time this section of the constitution was adopt-* ed it was considered a radical change. But just what effect it will have on the personnel of the trustees of the various colleges and other institutions remains to be seen. The question of paramount impor tance will be that of the Baptist Cen tennial campaign, of which Dr. Dhrles E. Maddry, general secretary of. the convention, is the general di rector. This matter will be present ed Wednesday night of the conven tion and Dr. E. Y. Mullins, of Ixniis ville, Ky.. will be the chief speaker. Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines, new president of Wake Forest college, will make his first appearance before the Convention on this occasion, making one of the principal .addresses O. Max Gardner, Shelby, the general chairman of the Centennial campaign, will preside and make an addrew*. as will also l)r. Maddry. Considerable momentum has al ready been gained in the centennial movement during the past two months here in the central district of the state, in the neighborhood of a quar ter of a million dollars having been subscribed to the centennial fund in this district, and an organization set \up throughout the eastern section of the state for the continuance of the campaign. Durham is considered an ideal place for the convention to meet, it being central and one of the strong holds of the Baptist denomination in North Carolina. There are nine self sustaining churches / in the city with an aggregate membership of considei abl.v over H,OOO. Four of these churcn es have over a thousand members each. Every one of the nine, save one, haw a modern brick church build ing. and that one is contemplating building soon. Per-ljaps no other city iu North Carolina is so well equipped with Baptist churches. The entertainment! this year will be on the full pay plan, as it has been for several years. However, there will be_ sufficient hotel accomodations. Besides there will be a number of private homes open to the visittors. The principal feature the first eve ning will be the convention sermon delivered by Dr. Zeno Wall, of Shel by. or his alternate, Rev. Elbert N. Johnson. Dunn. Other high lights from outside the state during the ses sion of the convention will be: Dr. It. W. Weaver. Birmingham. Dr. El lis Fuller, Atlanta, Dr. John L. Hill, Nashville. 15.000 TURKEYS TO GO FROM WATAUGA Country Contributes Heavily to Win ter Holiday Meals. Boone, Nov. 13.—Watauga Coun ty will probably furnish 15,000 tur keys for the Thanksgiving and Christ mas dinner tables of the country, but the breeders are very strongly advis ed by a prominent dealer in produce not to market them all at once. Farm ers are advised to send only a few turkeys to market each week through out the season, so that the market will not be drugged. Watauga turkeys usually move through North Wilkesboro to the northern and eastern markets, and through T/enoir to the southern mar ket*. Negro Cabins Burn. Two small cabins, occupier by ne groes, were destroyed and a third house damaged considerably by fire on Lincoln street in the “Blaekbot tom" section about 6 o’clock Sunday afternoon, resulting in damage of $2,- 000 or more dollars. When the alarm was turned in one house was in a great flame, spreading rapidly to the houses on either side. The fire department was able to save* one of the houses without great dam age. while the other two were con verted into ashes. The origin of the fire is unde termined. ~ MARATHON RIDER IS SEVERELY HURT NEAR CITY LAST SATURDAY Miss Vonceil Viking, 22- Year-Old Blonde, Meets a Third Mishap in State. — Stopping Here. The infelicitoas accident in which she was painfully hurt last Saturday afternoon near the city will not halt long Miss Vonceil Viking, intrepid horsewoman, in her 4,000-mile horse back jaunt across the continent —from New York City to Los Angelea. Mias Viking plans to climb back in to the saddle at 8 o’clock Tuesday morning despite that her right arm and leg are exceedingly sore from the fall she received about 1 o’clock Sat urday afternoon near Oak wood cem etery. She was severely hurt when her mount, “Broadway,” stumbled and fell into a ditch, the rider be neath. Injuries cannot stop Miss Viking. She has told the Marquis of Donegal that she will prove by riding horse back from New York City to Los Angeles that the modern woman is as sturdy as the pioneer woman of Am erican history. Moreover, she in formed the marquis she would make the daring trip in 120 days, and wag ered $25,000 to give an added tingle to the adventure. Every day Miss Viking is delayed in Concord means that somewhere along the journey she must make up the time by faster mileage. With 120 days to complete the cross-country spurt, Miss Viking must average 35 miles a day. Including loday she is two days or 70 miles behind sched ule. However, when she reached Con cord last Saturday she was three hours ahead of schedule and had high hopes of gaining a full day by con tinuing to Charlotte, but fate took a band in the affairs. When Miss Viking was seen by a Tribune reporter at her room in the Concord hotel Saturday night, she seemed a bit discouraged, but even so, she said the ride would continue. Miss Viking had reason to be discouraged. Her accident here marked her third dn as many days. Each time she suf fered increased injury. The jinx, the guy who should have been hung on the hour of his birth, is stalking the course of Miss Viking. Thursday a hit-and-run-motorist bumped into “Broadway.” Miss Vik ing escaping serious injury miracu lously. The following day near Salis bury another motorist picked out the prospective motion picture actress and her horse as a target. Fortunate ly she came out of that mishap with out any severe hurts. The mishap in the Concord suburbs, however, was too severe to permit Miss Viking to go on. M iss Viking wanted to resume her journey Sunday morning. Her phys ician denied her the privilege. Again this morning she wanted to be off, her physician and manager, T. H. Es lick, advised it unwise, and she agreed to wait until Tuesday morning. Mr. Ealick, a member of the London Press. : s an uncle of Miss Viking. “I wish to thank the two colored boys who picked me up after the ac cident and placed me in the car to go to the hospital,” said Miss Vik ing Saturday night. “They were re spectful and polite.” Ted Wells, Universal motion pic ture star, has offered Miss Viking a contract to play in the movies when sLe fiiushew her journrey three months hence, providing all goes well. Born twenty-two years ago on a New Mexico ranch. Miss Viking was practically raised from infancy by cowboys. While still a very small girl, she would ride, hatless, breath less and happy, with the cattle-punch ers. At the tender age of thirteen she had the nerve to enter a rodeo con tent of the most hazardous type. Last July Miss Viking attended a dinner in Ixmdon at which Britain's proudest aristocrats were present. After dinner, that much-maligned little lady. Modern Eve. came up far discussion and one of the male guests, the blue-blooded, horse-riding, fox huuting Marquis of Donegal, made a gesture of jocular contempt aud de clared that the rouged, jazz-mad girls, of 1927 were physical wrecksv compar ed with the girls of 1827. That aroused Misw Vik : ng’s ire. She was on her feet in mi instant, telling His Grace in no uncertain terms that the women of America, at any rate, are as physically fit. as har dy and daring today •as were their pioneer grandmothers. The outcome of the heated argu ment that followed was that the Marquis wagered 5.000 golden sover eigns ($25,000) American dollars— that Miss Viking could not journey acrosw the vast American continent on horseback. Preliminaries were quickly arrang ed and to keep faith with the chal lenge. Miss Viking, on October 13th. set out to ride a horse every inch of the way from New York to Los Ange les, California—over four thousand miles of roads, cities, plains, moun tains and forests, includ : ng whterless, trackless w’astes of the dreaded Mo have desert. CABARRUS FARMER DIED SUNDAY EVE; FUNERAL TUESDAY Ed. S. Ervin Is Claimed by Death After Long Illness. —Funeral at Rocky River Church. - In failing health for the past two year, Ed S. Ervin, well known farmer of this county, died at 9:30 o’clock Sunday night at his home in No. 1 township. Heart trouble is assigned as the cause of his passage. Mr. Ervin was 63 years -of age.

G. Hawfield, superintendent of county schools. Figures from Bethel. Harrisburg, Mt. Pleasant and Winecoff schools show that the attendance during the second month was slightly below that of the first. This slump was due to late harvesting being done on many farms. The children who have been absent from the roll-calls have been engag-d.in picking cotton and aiding in t.her farm work. From now until the end of the 1927- 28-school year, attendance marks are expected to increase and to become more uniform, said Mr. Hawfield in discussing the matter. Most of the late season work has been completed, he said, and all schools should reach and hold their maximum enrollment. Statistics show that there are 122 more pupils iu the four high schools mentioned than there were during the 1926-27 scholastic year. The increase will probably be greater when all of the institutions have reached their full strength. Winecoff, with 78 enrol.ments and an average daily attendance of 72 for the second month, has a percentage of 92.3. Mt. Pleasant is second with a percentage of arising from an enrollment of 161 and an average daily mark of 134. Closely following is Harrisburg, which, with a total enrollment list of 94 names, has had an average at tendance of 78 for a percentage of 83. Bethel is laßt with a percentage of 81.3. this school having had an aver age attendance of 88 out of a possible 106. Next month’s survey should show every school with a percentage well over 90. according to the county superintendent. SEMBLANCE OF ORDER RESTORED AT HANKOW Disorders Continue.
