"8.0. B.’’ That is a call for help.
It is a call to help yourself. The
Tribune and Times great
"Everybody Winn” campaign is on.
To be flank about it, comparatively
few candidates have entered so far.
That, of. course, fs The Tribune and
Times funeral. You are not interest

cially If *>4 have considered being
a candidate.
It ought tV on you that, with
a condition like this, your chances
arc better. If. you will use your
head, you’ll see. the light.
The four new enclosed cars and the
14.400 in cash prises will be awarded.
That fact is certain.
Now the man or woman with a “go
get-’em" spirit, is in better shape than
if contestants were clamoring to get
in.
Too Many Prise*.
Just the why of this—that is the
question. Perhaps the great array
of prizes has scared some of you.
Were the prized of much less value
you would fall all over yourselves to
get in. But because SIO,OOO is put
up you think you will have to have
too many voted. ’
Goodness alive, it doesn't make any
(litfcreif-e Ivow many or how few
votes are cast. The high man gets
his choice anil others get prizes in
proportion.
Get Busy Now.
It is all in your head. It’s a con

that’s the cream, the easy picking*.
And the easy pickttigs. with the great
er vote credits may be the deciding
factor in this election. Now, get
in. Let's go.
Remember, there is only one way
to make nominations. Candidates
must either nominate themselves or
be the choice of some friend who will
do it for them. The management is
not going to plaee any names in the
campaign, and if you want to bc«ure
that your name is among those from
Jl_which the owner of the grand prise
is to be chosen, the surest w*y is to
send or bring on your nomination
blank yourself. Do this at once.
Office Open Evenings.
During the big prize campaign the

Cabarrus Savings Bank building, will
be open every evening until 9 o’clock
to answer inquiries, receive votes, etc.
Phone 570.
Bear in mind it will not take long
to win one of the big prizes. The
campaign will be a very short one.
And, at the close of the campaign,
the votes will be counted by a com
mittee of prominent business men.
Those who have obtained the greatest
numbe rof votes will be formally pre
sented with the handsome prizes that
are won simply by collecting votes in
spare time.
Now Is the Time.
Now, right now, TODAY, is the
time to begin.
If you want any one of the four
splendid new cars so that you can
ride when you wish and take your
friends or your family driving, there
is no reason why you can not win it.
Think of having a car like this for
your very own to go where you wish
and stop as long as you like—a car
that has a reputation for reliability
and all the way through, luxurious,
comfortable and powerful. That’s
just what you can have if you are
r willing to put forth a little effort and
a little hustle and energy during your
spare time.

BIG MONEY PRIZE AWAITS
NON-STOP ATLANTIC FLIER
A $25,000 Prize Offered by Raymond
Ortelg, of New York. „
Washington, Sept. 14— OP) —While
there are several trophies in America
offered for outstanding events in air
craft. performance, officials of the
National Aeronautic Association
here know of only one ea«h prize
now open to competition. This is the
$25,000 prize offered by Raymond
Orteig of New York, and open to
aviators crossing the Atlantic be
tween Paris or the shores of France
ad New York on a non-stop flight, in
either direction.
The money is now on dejmsit in an
American bank and has been avail
able since 1910. Recently two
groups of aviators, one in France and
one jn the United States, have start
ed plans to capture it. Mr. Orteig
formally extented the time for the
prize award until June 1, 1030.
Should a non-stop trans-Atlantic
flight begin in New York, officials of
the National Aeronautic Association
would have charge of the official in
spection. The Aero Club of France
would handle the inspection at Pnris.
Carl F. Schory, official timer of
the National Aeronautic Association,
explains that in non-stop flights,
such ns the Orteig prize con
templates, the gasoline tanks of the
aircraft are sealed to prevent re
tilling. Officials are also able to keep
tab on the movements of a nonstop
aircraft through use of a sealed
barograph. This instrument, which
looks like a small bix, contains a
recording pen which works in har
mony with the pressure of the baro
meter and registers on a revolving
cylinder the height at which a plane
flies and the time it remains in the
air.

The six charters Saturday all come

They see in the state the surcease

behind this failure. Anyway, the

North Carolina today mourns the pass
ing of one who had given 34 years of
his life to her service as a jurist.
Wm. Alexander Hoke, former chief
justice of the Supreme Court, died

Admission Prices For Local
Fair Are Reduced This Year
Although the Cabarrus County Fair
this year is to be the biggest and
best yet offered, admission prices will
be less than they were last year, ac
cording ’to an announcement made by
Dr. T. N. Spencer, secretary of the
fair association.
Admission prices this year will be:
During day. 50 cents for adults and
25 cents for children; at night, 23
cents for all.
Last year adults had to pay 75
cents to get in the ground, it was
pointed out by Dr. Spencer, and re
gardless of tfie fact that the fireworks,
free acts and race* are to cost more
this year than ever before, admission
prices are reduced.
“We planned last year to make the
admission price 50 cents, this year,”
Dr. Spencer said, “but it' has been
reported to me that in some manner it
has been circulated in the county that
the price was to be raised to a dollar.
There is nothing to such reports, of
course, for we have never contemplat
ed raising the price. In fact, we de
cided last year to reduce the price.”

Rear Admiral Hilary P.
Jones Named of Board
Appointed for Inquiry by
Secretary Wilbur.
WILL AID ANOTHER
BOARD OF INQUIRY
Board Appointed Last
Week by the President.
Washington. Sept . 14.— (a 1 )—A
court of inquiry to investigate the
Shenandoah disaster with Rear Ad
miral Hilary P. Jones, chief of the
navy's general board as its president,
was appointed today by Secretary
Wilbur.
The work of this board will supple
ment. that of the special board of 9
men appointed by President Coolidge
to delve thoroughly into the broad
question of the nation's air policies,
which das been the subject of bitter
controversy since the Shennndonh dis
aster.
The announcement of the personnel
of the board to investigate the Shenan
doah crash came on the heels of a
denouncement of navy critics by Rear
Admiral Moffett, chief of the navy's
bureau of aeronautics.
Those who will serve with Admiral
Jones in conducting the inquiry are:
Capt. Frank H. Clark; aide to the as- ,
sistant secretary; Capt. Louis B. Me- (
Bride, of the navy construction corps;
Commander John H. Towers, lieuten- .
ant-commander Ralph C. Pennoyer,
Captain Paul Foley, director of the
experimental laboratory at Bellevue,
District of Columbia, and Lieut.-
Commander Pierce will be his adviser.
At the time Mr. Wilbur was an
nouncing the personnel of the Shenan
doah Board, the War Department
made plans to have> Col. Wm. Mitch
ell, chief figure in the whole contro
versy, available as an expert witness
for the President's commission when
that body begins its inquiry.
It was explained at the War De
partment that neither disciplinary
proceedings which have been initiat-
years, Dr. Spencer and other fair of
ficials are ready to offer attractions
this year that will surpass in every
way attractions offered in the past.
“We strive each year to offer a fair
bigger and better than the oqe the
yqgr before,” Dr. Spencer continued,
“and to carry out this policy we have
spared no expense. The Cabarrus
County Fair has attained an enviable
reputation throughout the South and
we are determined to offer attrac
tions and exhibits in keeping with
such a reputation. However, we are
determined also, to offer these attrac
tions at the least possible cost to the
public, and for that reason agreed last
year to cut the price of admission to
50 cents this year.”
Officials of the fair feel reasonably
certain they have the best interest of
the public in their efforts to give
this county a fair surpassed by none
in the South, and they are rather «nr
! prised that any one would circulate
reports calculated to hurt attendance
■ at the fair.
Those perrons who have been wor
ried because of the “dollar admission
i rumors” can rest assured there is
■ nothing tq them and that for 50 cents
. they can get admission to a fair that
is certain to eclipse anything yet
> staged in this county.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opening Firm at Advance of 18 Points
to Decline of 4 Points—December at
24.70.
New York, Sept. 14.—The cotton
market showed renewed strength early
today. Traders evidently were fear
ful that further rains reported over
Sunday were damaging open cotton in
Texas, and this view of crop condi
tions combined with relatively firm
Liverpool cables and reports of an ac
tive demand for cotton goods led to
further advances.
Tlie opening was firm at an advance
of eighteen points to a decline of four
points. Realizing caused some irreg
ularity after the call, but offerings
soon were absorbed and before the
end of the first hour active months
were 2 Oto 34 points net higher, with
December selling at 24.70, or 260
points above the recent low level.
Part, of the buying seemed to come
from the trade, while brokers reported
a broadening commission bouse de

selling from the South.

with Tammany support, is opposed "-si
for renomination by State Senator 8
James J. Walker. Tammany designee.

Governor Smith. By both republican

between Governor Smith and W. R.
Hearst for control of the democratic
party in the state with a view to
presidential politics in 1928. lie
governor, giving up a vacation, came
from Albany to stump for Walker.
Exchanges between the governor and
Mr. Hearst at long distance and be- '
tween the governor and the mayor at
close range have been sharp and per- , :

The mayor has ignored demands of
Walker that he say i whether he will
support the democratic nominee and J
Tammany supporters, confident of sup- >
port in the primaries, are looking for- 1
ward to the election with less assur
ance because what seems to them the i
possibility of Hylan heading an inde- \
pendent ticket.
Republican hopes of electing the *i
executive of this highly democratic
city run high. In fact, the organiza
tion candidate for the republican nom
ffiSfton. Frank U Waterman, pFa"l
manufacturer, has largely ignored his 11
opponents for the nomination', and
centered Ms attacks on both Hylan
and Walker, nnd saying they had been
tplling the truth about each other, and
that Tammany which supporte Hy
lan for two terms, has been just as
responsible as Hylan for eight years
of misrule.
Wnll Street betting odds are from
three and one-half to four and one
half to one against Hylan. Tammany
leaders predict Walker’s victory by
i 100.000 votes, assuming that fifty per
! cent of tre 794,652 eligible democrat
t ic voters will go to the polls. .
John T. Cohalan, campaign man
ager, predicts a similar victory fo*
the mayor.
