BIG EXTRA VOTE
GIVEN FOR NEW
SUBSCRIPTIONS
The rus hfor new subscribers will j
probably be the largest feature during
the close of The Times-Reorcder’s big
subscription campaign. During the |
last two days of the drive 50,000 extra 1
votes will be issued for each new sub
scription turned in on those two days,
and also for any that were turned in
at any other time during the cam
paign. This 50,000 extra vote offer on
new subscriptions is, of course, in ad
dition to the last period of regular
votes, which will be given on sub
scriptions.
It is well to remember that a sec
ond paid subscription is to count high
during the Ipst two days of the drive, j
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
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 o nthe 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, of
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 last coupon appeared Tuesday,
and all .coupon votes must be in the
campaign office not later than Satur
day night, April 19. They will then
all be counted and each candidate will
receive credit for all coupon votes and
any others, when the last vote stand
ing is published the early part of th<
following week. This standing, as
published .will represent all votes that
all candidates have in to their credit
up to that time, and this list will be
furnished the judges. They will then
add the votes held by the candidates
and award the prizes according to the
totals arrived at in this manner.
It is hoped to have all votes cast by
7 p. m. on closing night, April 26, 1919,
in order that the judges may finish
their count in an hour or so, and the
prizes may be awarded that night.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. HaU’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.

WOMAN PROPOESD FOR
ATLANTA SCHOO LHEAD
ATLANTA, April I.7—Friends of
Miss Blanche Loveridge, head of the
Elizabeth Mather College here, are
interested in the proposal that she be
elected superintendent of schools in
Atlanta, and the feeling is that she
would be an ideal person for the
place.
She has had training and experience
under Ella Flagg Young, who put the
school system of Chicago on the map,
and it is believed that she could do
much for the Atlanta system. She Is
a woman of unusual intellectual at
tainment. and her ability has been
• proven by the growing success of Eliz
abeth Mather, recently established to
meet the need for an institution for
vocational training in the state.
Miss Loveridge is the second woman
to be mentioned as a probable super
intendent for the schools ofAtlanta.

Flyer Officer Just Receives
Letter Sent ‘Through Military
Channels’ to Him Last October
SOUTHER FIELD, April 17.—Some
of the readers of the Times-Recorder
may have heard about sending com
munications through military chan
nels. If there is any doubt as to what
such a process involves inquiries are
respectfully requested to communi
cate with Lt. F. A. Wilson at Souther
Field. He can furnish the details. As
Lt. Wilson is a man of retiring dispo
sition, he may not want to be disturb
ed. For that reason this is being
written about him, explaining in de
tail how he gets his official mail.
He is authority for the statement
that all facts are the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. All
we have to say is that the Lieutenant
is fortunate not to have to pass a love
letter along in the same manner. Sup
pose some of the documents, or even
some of the army telephone conver
sations of the past year had been
added to and inspected as we are
about to describe. This is a warm
day and we don’t want to even think
what the result might have been.
Let time turn backward in its flight
to October 5, 1918. The scene is a post
hospital at Garden City, Long Island,
N. Y. The surgeon is a busy man.
He has inspected the throats and test
ed the machinery of scores of soldiers,
possibly he wanted to go in town that
evening and see the lights of old
Broadway. His perfect day is almost
closing when some one calls attention
to the fact that he had a message for
a Lt. Wilson. The surgeon decided
not to look the Lieutenant up at the
moment. He dictated a letter, then
he thought a moment and added, “send
it through channels.” He probably
didn’t know it at the time but those
words were the means of giving that
letter a ride—Yes, some ride.
The letter went over to First Pro
visional Wing Headquarters, Hazel
hurst field, N. Y., where Wilson was
supposed to be stationed. In the
meantime he had been ordered to pro
ceed to France. Wing Headquarters
added an endorsement, quoting the or
ders which had transferred the officer,
and forwarded the papers to the Sur
geon General of the Army.
The Surgeon General read the let
ter. scanned the endorsement, noted
that it originated at a hospital, added
a second endorsement and sent it on
its way to the War Department. Here
they observed that Lt. Wilson had

been ordered to France. The letter
went into the typewriter, a third in
dorsement was clicked out directing
the matter to the attention of the Ad
jutant General of the Army and the
message resumed its journey.
Arrived at the office of the Adjutant
General a fourth endorsement was at
tached which forwarded the document
overseas and eventually landed it at
the headquarters of General Pershing.
Novmber 23, 1918, it was given of
ficial attention at those headquarters,
that is, it received a fifth endorse
ment.
By this time the original note had
begun to assume the proportions of
a real document. Orderlies handled
it with respect and only delivered it
upon receiving a written receipt for
same. They speculated if the Wilson
mentioned was a presidential relative,
and if so why he was so secretive
about it. We next find the letter and
its attachments at the office of the
Chief of Air Service, A. E. F. It

ment Jan. 2, 1919 proceeded to 138th

2nd Army A ,E. F., the unit to which
Lt. Wilson would have been attached
had he sailed.
Arrived at those headquarters a
search was made for the addressee,
with about the same result that fol
lowed the search of Heaven for the
old deacon, when the bulletin read,
“Heaven! Deacon Jones not arrived,
great excitement here!” At any rate
Wilson had not arrived in France and
a seventh endorsement, added on Jan
uary 10, 1919 stated the fact but di
rected the search to be continued at
home.
Headquarters of the sth pursuit
group confirmed this suggestion by
adding the eighth endorsement and re
turning the correspondence to the
Chief of Air Service.
At this office the ninth endorsement
was applied and the tired, travel worn
document again found itself face to
face with the Commander in Chief of
America’s overseas forces. February
tenth had arrived and General Per
shing’s office force found time to at

thought. We imagine he ordered an
inspection of everything connected
with the military establishment bear
ing the name of Wilson, whether they
, were meat products, bottled goods,
commissioned officers, orderlies, camp
retainers. The search bore fruit in
I the form of the eleventh endorsement
and brought the letter, now in book
form, to the headquarters of Souther
Field. Some time was devoted to
finding the original letter buried be
neath its accumulations. Endorse

Lieutenant Wilson and tie Inter was
personally delivered on April 9, 1919.
