EVERY MEMBER CAMPAIGN
ON AT THE FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Os Kannapolis.—J. G. Lowe is Chair
man of Drive.
Kannapolis, June 23.—An every
member campaign has been launched
at the First Presbyterian Church here
with J. G. Lowe as chairman. The
purpose of this campaign is to have
every member of the church do person
al work for the Saviour and hence
j the slogan : “Every member a work
j cr” has been adopted.
Mr. Lowe has secured for a staff
of co-workers in this drive the fol
lowing men of the city; J.' Sam Query,
Don P. Johnson, Robert Efird, jJr.
G. C. Bernard, Edward E. Lady, Bax
ter R. Yarborough, Sr., F. L. Mon
tooth and E. B. Brandon,
One of the visible results of -the
campaign was noted last Sunday when
1 the main auditorium of the Presby-
I terian Church was taxed to capacity
with members. Plans for an equally
- large attendance have been made for
the approaching Sunday, at which
time each Sunday School class will I
have a reserved spgce in the nodi-1
torium. Each c'.aes will strive for |
perfect attendance Sunday morning
and will also attempt to add to its;
enrollment as toauy new members as 1

TOWELERS SHATTER t CHAR- i
LOTTE OBSERVER PITCHERS
[Register Seventh Whi of Season at
i Expense of Newspaper Outfit.—
Score 13 to 0.
I Kannapolis, June 23.—The Kan-'
j napolis Towelers shattered two Char- :
lotte Observer pitchers yesterday for
1 13 hits and registered their seventh
victory of the season by a shutout,
13 to 0.
The Observer twirlers were wild,'
presenting seven free slips to first base,
which contributed to the local cause
considerably.
The homelings took all kinds of il
legal liberties with the slant of Pitch-:
cr Shelby, scoring eight runs in the
first frame of the tilt. He was
slugged out in the second in favor of
“Hurapty” Holman, who fared little
better, to say the least. j
Red Laird proved remarkably es- [
fective in seven rounds, being so tight- i
fisted ns to allow but three biuglcs;
hut he was succeeded - in the eighth by !
Shuler Antley, who needed exercise l
for the fracas today.
Red Irby led the oqslought with a ■
double and two sizzling singles in five
excursions to the> tee. As to the !
fielding features, there was nothing
spectacular save for the six perfect
chances Leftfielder Rogers, of the
Newsies, handled.
Oscar Donaldson, Toweler receiver,
continued to do commendable work,
behind the plate while Itussell Lee!
briglitened up the afternoon to some
-extent with three rather pretty
catches.

■ Astronomer Says World Will Cease
to Rotate.
London. June 23.—The earth
t eventually will cease to rotate and
| will become a stationary object, onc
[ half with sunshine ami the other,
i half with eternal dnrkness, according,
to Dr. Andrew Crommelin, formerly
1 assistant astronomer at the Royal
' Observatory, who recently retired
, after thirty-six years ot - service.
I Dr. CrommeTin said here recently
! that nt the present rate of “slowing"
I in its rotation the earth would cease
rto rotate in some "few millions of
! yeans.” He attributed the “slowing’’
Ito friction of the tides.
I “The world is safe enough, how
ever.” he said, "so far as every one
! who is on it now is concerned "
Referring to life • on Other planets
and heavenly bodies, l)r. Crommelin
| said so far as science knows at the
i present there is no life on the moon.
[ “Life on the moon,” he said, ‘'would
bt impossible unless there is some
animal there that can live without
air and heat."

SCORE COOLIDGE '
FOR USING WORMS
h ' $
Fishecmen AH Over the Country
Htejluj Contemptuous, and the
Politicians Wonder If the Farmei
; Will Bite Too.
Mon roe Journal. ,
| Mr. Coolidge has horrifiefiil the -
country. Worms! He has fished for <
p trout with worms. The Journal has
interviewed the professionals of
Monroe and finds that you can
; catch trout with worms, but, Lordy
!it is just one of those things which
. is not “done by the best people.” Os
course if an ordinary worm fisher
man. waiting patiently for cats or
perch, happened to hook a trout,
there is no disgrace attached to him. [
] But to go out and deliberately fish
for trout with worms is a thing
which draws the utmost contempt
from the professionals.
| “Will trout bite at worm bait?”
Brooks Myers, Jim Griffith. J. D.
. Futch and a few other Monroe fish
! ermen were asked.
“Yes,” they said, hut not another
word, no explanation, no desire to
discuss the matter. But in that ljt
(tie word “yes,” spol.en so short anil
:crabbed, you could feci dynamite.'
I enough contempt to blast a boulder,
i Not only were Monroe fishermen
j shocked, but the whole trihe from
i one end of the country to the other
’ was shocked. And some of the big
[politicians who do not like the Hon
forable Mr. Coolidge. took occasion to
, voice the contempt of the fishermen
! When asked if he thought the
President wtmld call an extra ses
sion of Congress, Senator Borah of
Idaho said "There is no telling what
a man who will catch front with •>
worm will do.” And referring to the.
political phase of Mr. Coolidge’s
’j stay in the west, he later added, "It
is evident that the fish have taken
the worm, the question now fej will
the farmers take it?"
Senator Reed of Missouri said that
, | “any trout that would lie nt the
i bottom and bite- at a worm is a de
generate trout;”.'Hr. Borah said stjch,
; a trout was •*in "imbecile.*’'ln' fact!
:„hf Afdn’t be ieve it was a trout.
■'“They njti«t hake been catfish, ’’ -he
; suggested- ; N - V t «’ >n« L<
A year agjo Sanatqr ifced exfrtaiaeq
![ to the eomitry that what
) Coolidge hM been catching at White
Pine - Camp must have been “suck
jers," and that Mr. Coolidge has
economized by using only half a
i worm.
| "If he is going to use worms for
| trout." said the Senatol, disapprov
ingly. "I hope at least he will be
, more generous. A man who is going
, to offer worms to a trout ought any
’ | way to offer a whole one.”
I Both these horrified Senators call
: eil it highly unethical to use worms.
I Isaac Walton admits to catching
■ trout with worms. But later anglers
■ frown upon it.i Richnrd Clapham.
; author of a pftxlern treatise, cal’s if
: "rather a coarse performance." Prof.
, Bliss Perry of Harvard, in Poo’s
I I and Uipplei. summarizes the mut
. | ter thus :
l "Btit all, to fish with a worm and
; then not catch your fish ; to fail with
■ a fly sis no disgrace: your art may.
. have TJeen impeccable, youi - patience
faultless to the end- But the pliiloso-.
phy of worm fishing is that of re
sults. of havilig something tangible
in your. basket when the day’s work
is done. It is a plea for compromise.”
[ Compared to that "proud and iso
' lated soiil.” the fly-fisherman, con
'. dudes Prof. Perry, the worm-fisher
man is "a "low maip, rather than a
: high one.”

Corporation Commission Tomorrow to

The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 23.—0 f vital "inter
est to the public of the state and of
I even more vital consequence to the
railroads and passenger motor bus
lines is the hearing before the State
Corporation Commission here tomor
row of the petition of the Seaboard
Aar Line Railway to operate buses
! from its western terminus at Ruther
: fordton to Asheville and thus extend
i its passenger service from Florida and
coastal points through to Asheville.
An imposing array of counsel will
represent the railroad, headed by W. j
L. Stanley, vice president anil general
counsel for the Seaboard, and it is ex
pected that counsel and officials of
other railroads in the state will at
tend.
Indications are that the petition
by the Seaboard will be vigorously
opposed by the bus lines in the state,
however, and General J. Albert Cox
will act as chief counsel for the bus
lines in opposing the petition. It is
expected that the opposition will con
tend that the railroads should not be
permitted to extend their train ser
vice -by bus over highways built by
the state and paid for by the people
and thus be allowed to compete on
! a more unequal basis with the bus
lilies which operate entirely over the
highways.
On the other hand, the railways are
expected to contend that after buy
ing expensive rights of way and lay
ing and maintaining extensive track
i age, their protits have been reduced
to a minimum by the competition on
the highways, and that if they are
going to be. expected to maintain local
passenger train service at all that they
must be permitted to operate bus lines
ip conjunction with their train ser
vice in order to i maintain sufficient
faces the necessity of deciding wheth
* er .4h£' oarrjers shall he permitted to
operate . tthft fti us enter into
cOippht(fiftn 4'>th’'pP&ierit bus lines, or
whether {h’ejr Tjitift to op
erate only, bn their privately owned
rights of way.
The decision reached, whatever it
may be, will have a big bearing on the
future of passenger transportation iu
the state, and ‘will be eagerly awaited
by the "public.

New Orleans, June 22.—Cotton de
veloped periods of strength and easi
ness today but prices averaged well
oyer yesterday’s close. Sentiment was
, reactionary at the start owing to re
newed liquidation on July and belief
that the weather was improving. Some
v selling developed after the weekly re
view was issued because it was not
as unfavorable as expected. Selling
I however proved s'hnrt lived and buying
' increased owing■ to private reports
telling of much rainfall in the belt
from New Mexico to Georgia. Many
Wires came in during the day telling
I I of rains in west Texas, southern
Texas, the Mississippi valley states
and at a few points in the east. The
; forecast indicates somewhat better
weather but map readers look for an
other period of wet and cooler weath
er in a day or two. Weevil reports
are coming to market in a steady
stream and interior seems to expect
heavy damage unless the rains cease.
The weather bureau says fields are
getting grassy and sunshine is needed
everywhere. The crop needs warm
dry weather and unless there is a
real change in weather, prices ate apt
to continue on the upgrade.
