A Big Opportunity Is
Offered In Our Great
Subscription Campaign
Your Nomination Is But
the Starting Point the
First Step in the Work
That Is Before You.
THE FIRST VOTE
COUNT TODAY
AH Subscriptions Received
Up to Last Night Appear
in the Count in the Page
Ad. Today.
The notice of each and every con
testant ; x called to tlie published list
of candidates. If there is any one who
has entered the race and hie or her
name does not appear, please notify
the campaign department immediately.
Furthermore if any contestant is list
ed in the wrong district, the campaign
. management would appreciate it if
would advise them of the error.
Each and every contestant MUST be
listed in his or her own district.
Nominations are NOT closed. In
fact, today there are more prises than
there are active candidates. Oppor
tunity without a handicap is here to
day for new entries who will "carry
on" in The Tribune and Times $lO,-
000 automobile cash campaign.
The small list published elsewhere
in this issue today must not be mis
understood. Some of the names print
ed are just nominations. The list
only serves to show who is entered.
Some who have been nominated
have failed, so fur, to turn in one
single solitary subscription to The
Tribune or Times. Some have not
even called to get an official receipt
book. They are. so far, candidates in
name only, nothing more.
.Subscriptions Will Win.
Candidates who will not produce
subscriptions can not hope to win.
The more subscriptions you can pro
duce, the more votes you earn. The
free coupons appearing in The Trib
une and Times from day to day are
valuable only in the degree in which
you enhance your vote score by sub
scriptions. There is absolutely no
hope in coupons alone.
Coupons are printed primarily to
stimulate interest. Os course they do
have soms value, but it is questionable
when ouei-considers that one subwvtp
tloii alone offsets a whole bundle of
coupons.
Nominations But Start.
Simple nomination of a candidate
does not mean anything. The date
does not mean anything. The nomi
nation is but the first step, the start
ing point. An.voue content to rest
after nomination can not get far in
this election. Active work, honest ef
fort, constant attention to the buxi
ness in hand, and that alone can get
r votes. And votes win. And subscrip-
tions mean votes.
With so few candidates entered, and
so many of those not yet, at least,
manifesting any LIFE or ACTIVITY,
the opportunity is here for some live
ones to enter and “carry on” to win.
In fact, the more candidates enter
ed the less votes it will take to win.
If two candidates are running for
office they must have all the votes be
tween them. The winner must have
a majority—over half—of all the
votes cast. But if five candidates
seek the same office the winner only
needs to have more votes than the nert
higher candidate.
Then, too, in this campaign, "Ev
erybody Wins Something,” There
are four beautiful enclosed automo
biles. There are purses of silver to
taling over a thousand dollars. Then,
too, remember the cash commission of
10 per cent., paid on every dollar
turned in, to all active non-prize win
ners.
In an election for office but one
candidate wins. In this election, "Ev
erybody Wins.” YOU WIN.
To Candidates.
The first vote count of each candi
date entered appears today. AH sub
scriptions received up to 0 o'clock last

t GREAT CONCLAVE
‘ OP ODD FELLOWS
k Sovereign Grand Lodge to Be Held
In Portland This Week.
Portland, Ore., Sept. 22.—The an
nual communication of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows will be held in
Portland this week. The sovereign
I grand lodge is composed of several
hundred representatives of the grand
- lodges of the order in the different
( states, in the provinces of Canada.
' and in several foreign countries. Aux
iliary organizations will meet during
the week. These include the Re
. bekali assembly and the Patriarchs
militant. The annual parade and
i tht military ball will be two of the
. big features on the week’s program.
Delegatefs to the gathering are al
ready arriving in the city and it is
; estimated that fully 50,000 members
| of the order will be here for the for
. mal opening of the conclave today.
Founded in 1810, in Baltimore, by
, Thomas Wildey and four others, the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows has
become one of the greatest fraternal
eocitties in the world. It is purely
an American institution, more than
75 per cent of the present total mem
bership of more than 2.000,00 being
residents of the United States and
Canada. In recent years tht order
has extended its jurisdiction to other
countries, and now its ritual is print- j
ed in eight languages.
While the Independent Order of ■
Odd, Fellows is purely an American
organization. Odd Fellowship originat
ed in England. The actual origin
of the order, however. Is obscure. The
earliest lodge of whirfi there is any
record was the Loyal Aristraehus,
which met in London in 1745. To
this source may be traced the Man
chester Unity, which is the name un
der which the great English order is
known. Manchester Unity was es
tablished in 181.1, and is now the
largest fraternal society in the world.
The actual origin of the name of
Odd Fellows is as obscure as the
foundation of the order. One theory
is that originally they were called
"hod fellows" (masons' laborers), and
another that they were “God’s fel
lows.” It has been suggested, too,
that the name was bestowed upon the
1 brethren because of the strangeness
Ind
It was on April 26. 181!), that
Thomas Wildey and his four asso
ciates met in the tavern of William
Lupton. known as "The Seven Stars,”
in Baltimore, and founded the first
lodge, which was given the name of
"Washington Lodge of Odd Fellows.”
All five of the founders bad been af
filiated with the order in England,
and they obtained a charter from thp
Duke of York's lodge of the Manches
ter Unity, Preston, England.
This original charter was surround
ed on February 22, 1821, when “The
Grand Lodge of Maryland and of the
United States of America of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellowsship”
was organized.
The name of tbe grand lodge was
changed in 1825 to "The Grand
Lodge of the United States of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows,”
and again, in 1870, to "The Sovereign
Grand Lodge of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows,” by which title
it has sinee been known.
For twelve years after the found
ing of the order Mr. Wildey continued
to serve as Grand Master (the title
being changed to Grand Sire in 1826),
and in 1835 he was made a traveling
agent of tbe Grand Lodge in tbe
United States. It is stated of his
organizing work in every section of
the country that “he had faith in
man's reciprocity of affection, he had
a firm belief in the brotherhood of all,
and absolute confidence in the great
scheme of fraternity to arouse and
give expression to those generally re
pressed emotions of friendship and
love.” Mudi of the present magni
tude of the order Is atttributed to his
zealous missionary work.
No Conflict Between Science and Re
ligion.
Charlotte, Sept. 21.—The time has
come when the so-called “conflict be
tween science and religion” must end
said Rt. Rev. E. A. Penlck, of Char
lotte, bishop coadjutor of the Episco
pal diocese of North Carolina, speak
ing before the Churchmen’s Club of
the Church of the Holy Comforter, at
the home of J. M. Reardon, in Myers
Park.
There is really no conflict, Bishop
l Penick said, for both science and re
ligion are working toward the great
truth of life.
Science is descriptive and religion
interprets life, was the main thought
of his discourse, and both operate in
two different spheres and supplement
each other in the search for the great
truth.
Bishop Penick went into the sub
ject, which be said is a great ques
tion of the day, thoroughly, and ex
plained that his address was prepared
after study and deliberation.

Symuk told the police that the
woman often visited him at the yard,
and that she once threatened to poison
him. When she brought him two
bottles of wine early this morning he
suspected that she had placed poison
in the wine. He said he beat her
over the head with a bottle, and then

tion pictures with bugs composing the
entire east have been completed by
the cinema laboratory of the depart

the usual productions, with their he
roes and heroines, these pictures fea
ture only villains.
In one film the Calosoma beetle
plays the lead, chasing a gypsy motto,
decapitating it and then dragging it
to its lair. In other pictures the boll
weevil perforins on a cotton plant;
the clohtes’ moth does its antics on
a piece of wool, and the bedbug dem.,
onstrutes Its liking for human astio- ■
eiation by crawling on an attendant.
While the acts were being recorded
the warbe fly developed stage fright,
and the picture could not be completed
until the performer was reduced to
semi-consciousness by chloroform.
Temperament also was in evidence.
Bees so objected to being photo
graphed that they chased the camera
man into a cellar, and the bo'.l weevils
insisted upon close-ups. Several times I
the grinding of the camera had to
be stopped while the weevils were ex
tricated from ttoe lenses.

caught large numbers. Catfish were]
plentiful in the muddy water on a
morning in the middle of the week.
That afternoon at 4 o'clock there was

The following day Lowrey found a
small tributary of the creek, in
which fish had never beep seen be
fore, “literally alive with catfish.”
| Dammed at all times by a fallen trees
trunk, the mouth of the branch at
the time was further blocked by a
mud flat. Having no outlet, the water
in the branch was considerably deep

PRESENT SERVICE
IS NOT SO BAD
So Far As Naval Air Serv
ice is Concerned Mr. Wfl? j
ber Would Leave It As i
It Is At Present.
Washington, Sept. 22.— UP) —Main- K
tenance of the navy air service or- J
ganization in substantially its pres* a
ent form was advanced today by See* yj
retary Wilbur before the President’s
air lion nl.
Called as the first witness of the S
day by the board which yesterday in--8
quired into the policy of the war de
partment and the navy air service,
j Mr. Wilbur emphatically opposed the
j creation of a department of national
defense. Such a step, he declared, |
| would be a “well nigh irreparable mis- 3
take.”
“Air forces,” he asserted, “form *»;!
essential part of the fabric of tfcfc'jb
navy itself and its administration
like all administrative problems inter
nal to the navy will, if unmolested by
outside influences, be solved with the
same efficiency and with the same hap. ■
py results as has been obtained in
similar problems ill the past."
The Secretary likewise expressed
opposition to establishment of the
navy air service as a separate corps,
analogous to the marine corps. H«
declared against a single air
maintained for national defense, but
not under the army or navy.
The navy, he said, requires its own "j
air forces as “a vital element of a
naval battle” adding that if a “vital
ly component part of the navy is un
der the direction and authority of an
independent air service it removes jS
from the naval coiqmander that unity "i
of command in time of battle, and
that uniformity of training in time of
peace, which every war has proved to
be essential to victory.”
The Secretary assured the board
that “all the information in the pos- 8
session of the Navy Department or
any of its officers desired by you is 1
at your disposal.” "We wish.” he
said, “to present <the matters involved, *
in the fullest and fairest manner pos- 8;
siplr-by those moat- fully
give the information.”
The Secretary then launched into a
discussion of the technical relation ‘of -
the air service to other military arms.
“The mission of the army and navy
in peace or war,” he said, “is to sup-,
port and defend the national policies.-
The army and navy operate under spe- »
citie missions in each.”

ACTION BY CONGRESS
Before Doing Anything to Get Coun
try Represented at League of Na
tions Conference.
Washington, Sept. 22.—MB—Am
erican participation in the disarma
ment conference plans of the league
of nations should only be undertaken
if "Congress authorizes it. in the
judgment of President Coolidge. - .
The I’resident wants to do nothing
to discourage the efforts for a reduc
tion of armaments by mutual agree
ment, but he is not inclined to co-op
erate in a league of nations disarma
ment conference if there is a possibil
ity that Congress will object. ■
No suggestion whether the Wash
ington government will b(\ asked to
take part in the export committee of
the league which will discuss plana '!
so radisa rmament agreement has
reached here through official channels.
