lull In- billet ami best extra credit inducement of The Jacksbn County
Journal *s Salesmanship Club campaign, "clubs" play an important part
and ninny of those who are interested in various club members have repeatedly
asked tli?' question of what constitutes a "club."
For the benefit of those interested in Salesmanship Club
(loin s we will state that a club means subscription collections
totaling .+1"), either old or new subscriptions counting on the
??rliih." For every club of $15 turned in by a club member or
friends of a club member, this club member will receive in addition
Ik (lie regular number of crtdits on the subscription ? 100,000 cx
u a credits. A club member may get as many as .his or her energy
calls for. As the money turned in amounts to one "cli^b" ? 15 ?
llicv can start to build another, and for every one turned in they
u;li net a special ballot calling for 100,000 extra credits. Never
durum die campaign will subscriptions count for as many credits
as they do now.
TO SUBSCRIBERS:
J'uv your subscription now and the little word reversed will look mightly
inifOr.u'l'ter the name of your favorite club member if coupjed with the first
capital prize Sport Model Durant. By paying your subscription now it
will "o toward helping your favorite in the Salesmanship Club. Every sub
scriber paying his subscription now is entitled to thousands of credits to
held his; favorite in the campaign. .
FIRST CREDIT PERIOD ABOUT OVER \
With only a few days to work for the first credit period which
ends next Saturday night at 6:00 o'clock, ambitious club members
arc forcing ahead and the chances of any one of several are equal
,, to gii tlr t-nr. ) )
I COULD HAVE WON
When the race is over Sept. 15 many will say: "I could have
' won that" Durant or one of those other valuable prizes just as well
as so-and-so if 1 had gone after it earnestly." Don't be a regret tier
-\l?c a winner. Keep busy today and every day ? get every" club"
that you possibly can. Do not be satisfied with one "club" only.
When you finish one "club" start in on another.
No one has a cinch on the car or any one of the other handsome and
valuable prizes at this stage of th? name, and don't let any one tell you
otherwise. There are thousand* of "know alls." Thousand?- of ;?cophv
who know more about your/ business than you do yourself ? know more
about everybody's business tlhui they do their own ? will give Vou a million
carloads of- free advice and wouldn't give you a dime if you were strving,
aud these are the very ono> who will try to discourage you, but pay abso
lutclv no at'.i'nti'-n to t-ie .! whatever. The nice is now on a mighty even
basis. The efforts \put forth between now and the elOse of the first period
will, in a ureal i uv;: lire, reflect final results.

COWAN TALLEST IN ARMY
' \
According to the ^United States
Army Recruiting News, Iiansom
Cowan, a Jackson county boy, is (he
tallest man in the United States
Anny: The story Of Cowan as it
recently appeared in the Recruiting
News follows:
Private Arthur E. Bell, of the 2(itli
Infantry, Plattsburg, N. Y., and
erstwhile Military Policeman of the
A. F. G., Coblenz, may be the right
flank man of his company, but he
would not occupy the same position
in every other outfit in the Army. -
This No. 1, front rank first squad,
may look down on the members ot'
the pec-wee platoon from a height ot
six feet seven and a half inches and,
from this vantage point, view the
world and its activities with a com
placent air, but no longer is lie the ^
tallest man in the Army ? for they
are "growing 'em higher in Hawaii."
Bell being "up" in the world has
been enabled to get ' along. Per
chance, he may have "gotten by"
with something, but the going was
good, and, so far, no one has gotten
past him until ?
Well, it all started when the Re
cruiting News recently made favor
able mention of his height, breadth
and magnitude in a recent issue
Then everybody, seemingly, trjjed to
see over Bell's head without making
a trip to the top of the Woolworih
Building or a climb to the top of the
tallest sycamore tree in the vicinity.
Long fellows in No. 1 squad took
to tall Stetsons, highhcclcd shoes and
shoulder braces in an attempt to ap
pear at least in Bell's class. But Bell
looked on ? or down rather, on their
puny efforts to titand 011 a plane with
him, and ? then 'be got a shock.
From away out in the middle of
the Pacific oil the Island of Oaliu,
Hawaiian Territory, at Fori K.-uu
ehameha, there came a lou>i derisive
"Ha, ha," "Tail?" qmw*. Captain
Robert Mc Bride of the f>*ii i; Artillery.
"'JYill ?" icvs StalT Scr^ean'. .lames
Alu'Artlm.- ot the same onilit. "Why
that pygmy '11 have to climb :? Ban

ther than a Seotcnman's !:ilties en a

|.n;>:.ya fniti: the top or' the trees.
He hasn't seen his great toes except
through a microscope, sin-.< he w?is
ten vears old. '
J>o stirred up was the 55th that
at a gathering of the company in
the Day Room Captain McBride was
delegated to send the following to
the Recruiting News with n request
tJiat it be published.
"II! the 26th Infantry believes
that Pvt. Arthur M. Bell of that
N.
regiment is the tallest mail in the
U. S. Army, let them come to Fort
Kamehamcha, H. T., and while the
Fifty-fifthArtillery hand is on parade
take a look at their Drum Major,
Pvt. Ransom S. Cowan, who is six
feet eight and one-half inches in
height, and weighs 190. He was born
at Greens Creek, N. C., and claims
that he has not attained his full,
growth." '?%
At any rate it appears that Pl;i'4a
burg will have to placate their
for the ''Parade of the Pacific" has
produced a parader who parks him
self in the coconut trees.
Sergeant MacArthur's letter, es
tablishing Private Cowan's claim to
the tall-man's hall of fame follows:
"In the edition for March 15, 192'f,
of the Recruiting News, I noticed
the claim of the 12(ith Infantry, sta
tioned at Plnttsburg Barracks, New
York of having the tallest man in
the Army of the United States; but
to my knowledge and belief this
man is a mere dwarf compared with
a soldier now stationed at t'v rt ,
Kamehameha, H. T. Const Dofvuces
of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, an<| now
acting in the capacity of Drum M::
jor of the 55th Artillery Band C. A.
C., (which is one step better than
being merely the right flank of n
company.) '
"The name of this soldier h
'Private Ransom S. Cowan, Service
Battery. S5th Artillery, C.A.C. 1 IU
height w six feet eight and one half
inches and claim can he suhstan
tinated by hi* Sev.iee Record. Care
ful scrutiny tf Servic Record of
Pvt. Cowan w? mad'* to avoid err ;
before this claim wa.;
"TIuh soldier is a human ' >incr
and not a horse as the claim i V
20th Tn fan try states. 'That to tii$<f
knowledge the only living member o;
the armed forces of the FiiitrdStatc s
taller than Pvt. Bell, is a horse.'
"Although the 20th Infantry may
have submitted their claim in thr*
' best of faith, an apology seems due
| Pvt. Cowan, as he does not like tt>
be compared with a horse."
