crane ships. Monarch and C pllt u r y.
were attached to the sunken subma
rine S-51 at 11:45 o’clock this morn
ing and work was immediately begun

baby” were the- words written bn a
letter found in a hat lying beside
the body of A. C. Coviugtou, Max

1 his home, which his wife would not
j let him enter. »
1 The officers went to the scene and
saw the man going in the direction
of the east side cemetery carrying a
rifle. They followed hiia to the
cemetery and saw him acting as if
he didn't know what to do after he
had recognized the officers. He hid
behind a tombstone and weeds and
while the officers were trying to
catch him he fired the rifle, the ball
entering his head above the right
temple. -
The gun he had was new and a
large number cartridges was found
in his coat pocket. Te had about .$6
on his person. The letter found in his
hat was addressed to his wife but
had never been mailed. .

TELLS OF GROWTH OF
THE POULTRY INDUSTRY
Dr. Kaupp Makes Interesting Ad
dress in Clncago.
Raleigh. Oct. I.—(A 3 )—"The South
is one of the_most fertile fields and
the most rapidly developing section
of the American continent,” declared
Dr. B. F. Kauff. head of the poultry
department of State College, in a
recent address delivered before the
National Poultry Council ’held in Chi
cago.
Dr. Kaupp was on the program to
make a report on poultry progress
in the South and his paper, covering
some five pages of type, was said to
have been one of the most instructive
and valuable papers presented to the
council.
In it Dr. Kaupp recounted the
growth of the poultry business, show
ing how there had been an awaken
ing as to the real value if poultry,
particularly in Nor fib Carolina, and
gave some facts about the efforts of
farmers to improve their flocks.
He also told of the success attend
ing the co-operative marketing sales
of poultry during the past spring.
The work done in encouraging hatch
eries where disease free chicks are
produced was given some attention,
too, in Dr. Kaupp’s paper.
"Work in North Carolina has been
along many lines,” he said, "but di
rected chiefly along the lines of re
search in breeding, nutrition and dis
ease control, with these facts being
given to the grower that he might
use them under actual farm condi
tions.
"Three experimental poultry plants
are maintained in the state, one in
the mountains, at Swannanoa, a sec
ond in the Piedmont section, at Ral
eigh, and a third in the coastal sec
tion. at Willard. The college also
sends out two extension men to work
with the county home farm agents
•before groups of people and to give
practical short courses.
"The college also helps along the
marketing work being done in the
state by V. W. Lewis and his as
sociates in the State division of mar
kets. These efforts are in addition
to the regular poultry courses given
at the college and leading to de
grees.”

STANDARD OIL AND
INDEPENDENTS AT WAR
Over a Trade Mark—-Standard Says.
Its “Red Crown” is . Infringed
Upcn.
Chicago, 111.. Oct. 1.-Mndependent
Oil Men and The Standard Oil Co.
-have gone to battle in a new sector;
a i fight over a trade mark. ’The
[trade mark banners of the contest
la rst? reveal the Independent Oil Men
iof America flying the insignia "Red
! Hat" and Standard waving “Red
. Crown.”
The story is that the Independ
ents. an organization selling gasoline
j from the Atlantic to the Pacific, last
spring entered application in Wash
i ington, D. <\. for registry of a
.series of trade marks for motor fueK
laud oils. This trade mark consisted
of a hat something after the order of
I the typical four-gallon lid worn by
| Uncle Sam in popular drawings. '
Under this general design, jicoord
| ing to color sheme, registration was
I sought covering the names High Hat,
I Red Hat, White Hat. Gren Hat,
Purple Hat and Blue Hat. Recently
the Standard of Indiana and. the
Standard of Ohio filed opposition to
the trade mark on the ground that
it conflict-? with their own widely ad
vertised Red Crown brand of gaso
line.
Standard contends that “Red Hat”
was chosen deliberately t& confuse tfoe
public mind. L. V. Nicholas. Presi
dent of the Independent Oil Men of
America, shaking for. the Inde
pendents, denies this, saying:
"In selecting this series of trade
marks much -time was .given to
ehocsing design* and .names which
might not eorubiet with any otliev
brand. The only conflict at all is rn
the one word ‘red’, and a color is
not subject to exclusive appropria
tion. We feel sure that the public
can readily distinguish between a hat
and a crown.”
The hearing in the case has been
set for October 13 before Thomas E.
Robertson, commissioner of patents,
in Washington. Owing to the |>ower
fnl influences behind both factions
in the fight and the established in
signia at stake it is of wide interest
to the public.
Both sidea have been and are now’
carrying on national advertising
campaigns in newspapers and maga
zines.
Seeks to Nullify Use of Animal Steel
Trap.
Washington. Oct. 1. — UP) —The
general public and organizations of i
sportsmen, as well as some officials I
of the IT. S. Biological Survey, are
charged by the newly-organized Anti-
Steel Trap League with adopting an
improper attitude toward the use of
steel traps in the capture of animals.
The point at issue is the degree of
■suffering experienced by entrapped an
imals. '
Officials of the league are preparing
a pamphlet written by Edward Breck,
writer, lecturer and former naval of
ficer, who is president of the organi
zation. It will contain an appeal for
general support of the league’s pro
gram, which covers both the United
States and Canada. This program
the organization’s officials* summarize
as follows:
“We “propose to bring about- the
passage o/ a law by all the state and
provincial legislatures making illegal
all use of the torturing steel and
other non-killing devices for faking
fur, except by the authorities in the
case of vermin.
“Propaganda against wearing fur is
helpful of but the above is the
only way to win within a reasonable
period of time, say a few years in
some states and a few more in others.”
Every woman who ever wore fui
will be asked to contribute one dol

Entering May Be Arne to
Win One of Big Prizes
Offered.
NO ONE CANLOSE
IN THIS CAMPAIGN;
There Should Be at Least
Twenty Active Workers
In Each One of the Prize
Districts.
The few candidates who are now
striving toward one of the big prizes |
in The Tribune and Times campaign
are beginning to display interest rel
ative to the end of the first big vote |
period which closes at midnight Mon
day, October 19th, and as a result j
a little more life ’has Wen injected
into flue contest— This doe* not mean,
Jiowever, that a new candidate enter- j
ing now would he unable to win one 1
of the big prizes for there is plenty
of room for any live person who j
wants one of the four motor ears or
his or her share of the thousands of !
dollars in cash which must be award
ed ai the end of fihe few weeks.
Right now, when the campaign is
just-gaining a little momentum, is the |
time for you, who have been hesitat
ing. to step in yvith a handful of sub-,
seviptions to The Tribune or the
Times and see what they will do for
you in the vote columns. Brand new
workers have jumped to the lead of
their districts within a few days, as |
you will have noticed if you have
been following the daily announce
ments of the score. have prob
ably also noticed that there are nine
candidates in district Xo. 1, six in
Xo. 2 and but five in Xo. 3. There
should be at least twenty active work
ers in each one_of the district work
ing in a determined way for one of
the ten big capital prizes.
When you stop to think that no
one can lose, that every one who par
ticipates in this great offer must win,
it is beyond comprehension why so
few are ambitious enough to want to
turn their spare moments into cash —
cash that they would procure in no
other way. All that it takes is. first
of all. the desire to make something
on the side, even as high as $2,110,
in a few weeks oUeffOTt. . These vvha
awake to what an opportunity this
really is now will have something on
■ those who realize after it is over
| with and the winners are announced
that they might as well have had
their share.
Yes, three weeks of time have
elapsed since this generous offer was
announced by The Tribune and Times
but in results what has been accom
plished can be duplicated by a few
determined workers in a few days.
We put this directly up to you now.
If # you act you will profit by such
action. There is room for you.

These youths hail from the same
town —Florala, on the southern boun
dary of Alabama —and have long
been neighbors. One of them. Samuel
Hart, is preparing himself for the I
ministry, the other., Edwin Doster, is
pursuing a pre-medical course.
The boys started on foot from their
homes six ‘days before school opened
with less money than is required to
see a couple of good movies. They
worked en route to Birmingham,
thereby securing sufficient funds for
food and lodging. They neither ask
ed nor accepted charity. They arrived
at the vcllege in fine fettle and enter
ed upon their studies with zeal.
Both boys are graduates of the Cov
ington County High* School. In mod
est circumstances, they found it nec
e-sary to walk to Birmingham and to
depend upon their own efforts if they
were tot attend college.

FRENCH PROPOSAL 1
IS UNACCEPTABLE
10 THIS COUNTRY
Secretary Mellon Brands
as Fake Reports of An
Agreement On French
Debt Plan.
FRENCH ADVISED
TO THIS EFFECT
President Coolidge Has
Not Given Approval or
Disapproval to Any Plan
Offered.
Washington. Oct. I. UP) —The , |
French proposal for settlement of her
war debt to the United States has
been found unacceptable.
After a conference at the White
House today between President Cool
idge and the American debt commis
sion, a statement was issued by See
-1 rotary Mellon for the committee which
called on tlie President and declared
j that no p.rojiosal had been submitted
i to Mr. Coolidge for his approval or
i disapproval.
“The representation in the press on
! the supposed authority of a member of
| the French commission that agree
: ment has been reached, and purport
ing to give the terms is entirely in
correct. Such a statement obviously
did not come from M. Caillaux be
cause before the adjournment of the
sub-committee last evening the French
members were informed by the Amer
ican members that their proposals
were not likely to be accepted.
“There has been no difference of
opinion, whatever among the Ameri
can commission. The visit to the Pres
ident this morning was to inform, him
of the .position of negotiations. No
proposal has been made acceptable to
the American commission and none
has been submitted to the President
for his approval or disapproval.”
Some members of the American
commission were of the opinion that
no possibility of an agreement with
the French was apparent at this
state. One membert felt that the 2
commissions were as far apart as
they were upon presentation by Fi
nance Minister Uaillaix of his first
settlement proposal last Thursday.
The American commission immedi
ately went into an executive session
and it was intimated that following
the scheduled meeting at 11 o’clock
with the French mission, a statement
giving more details of the proceedings
would be made public. I
