LAST CLUB AND
PRIZE BALLOT
OFFER NOW ON
I
The last club and prize ballot offers'
in The Times-Recorder’s Great Sub
scription Drive, which are running
now, will close the last of this week, 1
Saturday night, April 19, for District
One, and those in District Two will
be given until Monday morning to
mail or bring their last subscriptions 1
on this offer. The club vote for this 1
week As 200,000 extra votes for each 1
club of $20.00. The Prize Ballots are !
ten in number, the largest 1,000,000 !
votes, the next 900,000, and so on down I
to 100,000, and are to be given to the
ten candidates, regardless of districts,
who turn in the largest amount in sub
scriptions for the two weeks ending
April 19. Last week was quite dull,
and very few did much toward the
prize ballots, but it is thought that all'
candidates will go out in earnest this |
last remaining week, and attempt to
win one.
It is well to remember that a sec
ond paid subscription is to count high
during the last two days of the drive.
Every candidate who has collected a
second payment from a subscriber!
since the drive began will receive 50,-
000 extra votes to the year for every I
one of these second paid subscriptions.
For instance, if a person paid $3.25 for
a six months’ subscription at the be
ginning of the drive and the candidate
received 15,000 votes on it, it would
be permissible for this person to pay
an additional $2.75 and get the paper
for the year. In this case the candi
date would get 25,000 votes on this
second payment, because it would com
plete the year, and the schedule of
votes in the first period was 40,000.
She had already received 15,000 on the
first half, which would leave her the
25,000 on the second half of the year.
The same is true in the case of a
subscriber paying $6.00 for a year in
the first period, on which the candi
date received 40,000 votes. The sched
ule on two years was 100,000, and, ot
course, if he pays another year before
the campaign closes, making two
years, the candidate will be due 60,000
votes on the second year.
The coupon in todays’ paper in
creases to 500 votes and tomorrow will
be the last day on which it will ap
pear. On this day it will be good for
1000 votes again. After this it will
not appear again, and all coupon votes
must be in by Saturday night, April
. The complete standings, for all
coupon votes, will then appear for the
last time the following Wednesday,
three days before the close of the
big drive.
This list will represent all the cou
pon votes and other votes cast by all
candidates up to that time, and all
candidates wiu a S ree tha t this is
their standing. This last standing in
the paper “ill be turned over to Pw
judges On the closing night, and to
this will be added the other votes
which the candidates have on hand.
From the totals of these votes which
the judges will arrive at, the prizes
will be awarded, as they come, the
largest figure- first, and so on down.
It is hoped to have all votes in by T
p. m. on the night of April 26, in birder
that the judges may finish the count
by 9 p. m. and tlze prizes be awarded
that night.
Hardener of Steel.
Molybdenite, chiefly found in Tas
mania, is used for a variety of pur
poses, but its principal value is in the
manufacture of steel, to which it gives
a hardness and toughness that makes
the steel suitable for use in propeller
shafts, guns and boilers.

time to time by the assembly.
"The number of powers of each
class represented on the council may
be increased by the unanimous consent
of the council and a majority of the
assembly. Other powers have the
right to sit as members of the coun
cil during the decision of matters in
which they are especially interested.
“In the council, as in the assembly
each state will have only one vote.
Both these bodies are to meet at stated
intervals ( the council at least one a
year), and at other times if required;
both can deal with any matter that
is of international interest or that
threatens the peace of the world; the
decision of both must be unanimous,
except in certain specified cases, mat
ters of procedure, for instance, being
decided by a majority vote.
“The league will have a permanent
secretariat, under a secretary general.
The secretariat and all other bodies
under the league may include women,
equally with men. A permanent court
of international justice and various
permanent commissions and bureaus
are also to be established.
“(3.) The member states agree: (a)
to reduce their armaments, plans for
such reduction being suggested by the
council, but only adopted with the
consent of the states themselves, and
thereafter not to increase them with
out the concurrence of the council;
(b) to exchange full information of
their existing armies and their naval
and military programs; (c) to respect
each other’s territory and personal in-'
dependence, and to guarantee■
them against foreign aggression; (d) |
to submit all international disputes'
either to arbitration or to inquiry by:
the council, which latter, however,;
may not pronounce an opinion on any |
dispute whose subject matter falls!
solely within a state’s domestic juris-!
diction; in no case to go to war till
three months after an award, or an j
unanimous recommendation; (e) to
regard state which has broken the!
covenant as having committed an act >
of war against the league, to break ■
off all economic and other relations
with it and allow free passage through
their territories to the troops of those
states which are contribuitng armed
force on behalf of the league. The i
council is to recommend what amount ,
of force, if any, should be supplied
by the several governments concerned, I
but the approval of the latter is neces-I
sary. (States not members of the
league will be invited to accept the
obligations of the league for the pur
pose of particular disputes, and if they
fail to comply may be forced.) (f)
Not to consider any treaty binding
till it has been communicated to the
league, which will then proceed to
publish it, to admit the right o£ the
assembly to advise the reconsidera
tion of treaties and international
conditions which do not accord with
present needs, and to be bound by
no obligations inconsistent With the
covenant.
“A state which breaks its aggree
ments may be expelled from the
league by the council.
"(4” The covenant does no* affect
the validity of international engage
ments, such as treaties of arbitration
or regional understandings, like the
Monroe doctrine, for securing the
maintenance of peace.
“(5.) The former German colonies
and the territories of the Ottoman em-
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
pire are to be administered in the in
terests of civilization by states which
are willing to be mandatories of the
league, which will exercise a general
supervision.
“(6.) The member states accept
certain responsibilities with regard to
labor conditions, the treatment of na
tives, the white slave traffic, the opium
traffic, the arms traffic with unciviliz
ed and semi-civilized countries, transit
and trade conditions, public health and
Red Cross societies.
“(7.) The league is recognized as
the central body interested in eo-ordi- j
nating and assisting international ac
tivities generally.
“(8.) Amendments to the covenant
require the approval of all the states
on the council and a simple majority
of those in the assembly. States
which signify their dissent from
amendments thus approved are not
bound by them, but, in this case,
cease to be members as the league.” j

Racing Auto Dashes
Into Cream Parlor
ATLANTA, April 14.—Atlanta auto
mobiles, which have been gaining an
unenviable reputation for speed and
disregard of the law, created another
sensation, this time humorous in
character, when the right rear wheel
of W. A. Fox’ sstripped down National
roadster decided to invade the pre
cincts of one of the best know nsoft
drink stores on Peachtree yesterday
afternoon.
Fox was bowling merrily along on
Peachtree when suddenly and quite'
precipitiously he found himself halted ,
in front of Nunnally’s while his auto
wheel went in for a drink. Having de
tached itself from the car, the wheel
blithely rolled in through the open
door, bounced up to the candy coun
ter only to discover its mistake and
then turnsd toward the drink counter.
Its intention of climbing that counter
was frustrated by an alert soldier,
who grabbed, it by the rim and ivskid
it, "Where the hell did you come
from?”
Everybody in the star 3 was asking
the same thing ,but the excitement of
bystanders on the street soon led to
the knowledge that the wheel belong
