ENTER INI III
EXTRA VOTES
Great Opportunity Not Likely To
Be Offered Again During
Big Contest.
Are you thinking of entering The
American and Georgian Want Ad
Contest? If so, there is no time like
the present. During the days of the
triple votes is the ideal time to start
your campaign. A li*le effort spent
in getting ads to The American and
Georgian now would place your name
among the leaders in the first list of
contestants which will be published
soon.
Any one entering now, during the
period of the big vote offer, will re^
ceive the usual 1,000 votes on the
nomination, the regular votes of 4.000
and 10,000, respectively, for each book
sold, and an additional 8,000 and 20,-
000 votes, respectively, besides the
100,000 extra votes allowed for your
first $50. Can anything be more op
portune than this offer of extra
votes?
Again, this is positively the largest
and most liberal offer that will be
made in the contest. If you are wise
you will show by your work that you
have a full and proper appreciation
of this wonderful offer.
Perhaps never again will you have
the opportunity to enter a competi
tion where the prizes are so valuable
and can be won as easily if you sys
tematize your efforts and make the
most of this free vote offer.
Organizations are lining up their
forces to start their campaign for the
$1,000 in gold and the $500 in furni
ture. Every one is now given fair
warning to start AT ONCE in this
race if you expect to be one of the
successful organizations on Novem
ber 15.
Individual candidates can win a
five-passenger touring car, double
trip to California, player-piano,
pianos, motorcycles, bicycles, gold
watches and Jewelry during their
spare time for the next two months.
If you want to know' the details of
this contest, write, telephone or call
upon the Contest Manager, 405 Foote
& Davies Building. He is there from
8 a. m. until 5 p. m.; Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays until 8 p. m.
He will be glad to answer all your
questions and help you organize a
winning campaign.

“spook” story.

marking, which gradually faded out
after several hours.

Indicted for Shooting
‘Peeping’ Policeman
An indictment charging assault with
intent to murder has been returned
against R. E. Mar.er for the shooting
of Policeman C. F. Preston. The po
liceman was shot several weeks ago
while gazing into the parlor of a resi
dence on Candler street, where Maner
was calling upon a young woman.
Maner is under $1,000 bond. He has
entered a strong denial of guilt, charg
ing that he fired when he saw a man
peeping in the window, thinking him a
burglar.

p-al for additional help will bring lm-
n.ediate response.
Appointed Member of Important
Board—Just Back, Judge Tells
Interesting Vacation Stories.
After a two months’ vacation, of
w'hich he says he enjoyed every min
ute. part of it spent on his Ohio farm
and the remainder on a tour of the
principal cities of the East, with a
week’s sojourn in Montreal, Canada,
where he attended the Bar Associa
tion convention, Judge Don A. Pardee,
of the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, returned to Atlanta Wed
nesday.
The judge was In high spirits. His
face wore a ruddy glow which he
explained was the result of many
cross-country' trips, riding on his fa
vorite horse, “Major.”
At the lawyers’ convention he was
elected a member of the conference
to consider court reforms.
“Yes,” said the judge, “the first
several times I rode Major this year
I had to be hoisted into the saddle.
I was mighty stiff, but I 90on limbered
up after I had been Jolted in the
saddle a few' days.
“I spent five weeks on my farm
and did not ride in an automobile
once. Nowadays nearly all the farm
ers have automobiles and consider it
old-fashioned to ride horseback, but
to me it is real sport.
Pead Only The Georgian.
“While on my farm I laid aside all
care and the only thing that 1 read
was The Atlanta Georgian, which
came regularly every day by mail.
“Want me to tell you about the
Bar Association convention in Mon
treal, do you? Well I am not much
of a story-teller, but I will do the best
I can.
“First of all. there’s the city of
Montreal, which is more of a dcy
than the average American imagines.
It has a population of 800.000. It is
a beautiful place. A strange thing
about the city is that it has two
levels, with a mountain in the cen
ter. A tunnel is being dug und?r
the mountain which will connect the
two levels.
“While I was in Montreal the law-
vers were in complete possession of
the city. The Canadians were most,
courteous and treated us royally. It
would not be far amiss to assume
that some day Canada w'ill be a part
of the United States.
“My trip was most pleasant ever,
if I was forced to have my baggage
inspected both on entering and leav
ing Canada.
“Lord Haldane, as you know, ad
dressed the Bar Association. He
discussed freely international mat
ters. and I think showed sound judg
ment. Especially so were his views
on the vital questions which interest
us most to-day.
Put on Important Board.
“Lord Haldane seemed to think very
much along the same lines as the
majority of our American statesmen
and his views on international law’s
ran very much in the same channel
as ours. Lord Haldane has a pleas
ing personality -and is broadminded
enough to be really great. We all
enjoyed hearing him talk and he w\f
given resounding applause when lie
had finished.
“Former President William Howard
Taft was present and made an ex
cellent address on the laws of our
country. Monsieur Labordi. the dis
tinguished Frenchman representing
his country. made an impressive
speech.
“Attorney General McReynold.^. was
present and spoke in behalf of the
United States. Later a reception was
given in his honor. Federal judges
from every circuit in the United
States were in attendance, together
with the most prominent men from
El Paso to the Great Lakes and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
"I was selected to represent the
fifth circuit in the Supreme Court ft
Appeals conference, w’hich took .ip
the question of uniform procedure in
the courts. It w r as the largest as
semblage of lawyers in the history of
the association.”

“Meanwhile, Southern spot markets
having caught the bullish fever and af

A private message from Washington
said that indications were that the
amendment taxing cotton futures would
be defeated in conference. This dis
patch said that Chairman Underwood
was very much opposed to the cotton
futures tax. It is also said that while
the tax might not be stricken from the
Tariff Bdl in conference between the
Senate and the House. Its terms would
be materially modified.

Society Party Drifts
All Night in Launch
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—Nine women
socially prominent In Oak Park and
Austin suburbs were found to-day
drifting in a helpless launch on the
drainage canal near Joliet, Ill., after
an all-night search.
The women, guests at a party given
by Mrs. Herbert S. Mills, wife of H
wealthy manufacturer of Oak Park,
had started out for a ride in the
Mills launch.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The selUng
movement was resumed at the opening
of the cotton market to-day. based
chiefly on the passage of the tariff bill
and lower cables from Liverpool than
expected and first prices were at a net
decline of 8 to 12 points from last night’s
close.
After the call the decline was widened
to 13 to 14 points on a bearish weather
map. showing further rains in Texas
and Oklahoma. This brought out a wave
of profit taking. On this decline buy
ing orders increased, many brokers
filing open buying orders on it for long
account. Th volume of trading, how
ever. was not large, but prices climbed
some 1 to 5 points over the prevTbus
close.
Private messages from Washington
that the amendment to tax cotton fu
tures may be modified, if not entirely
eliminated in the conference over the
bill between the House and the Senate,
furnished the backbon to the rise and
gave greater encouragement to the bulls
than even the previous news
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline of 12 to 12%
points from last night’s close.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Grain
traders consfrued the Government re
port about as anticipated. It confirms
the. claims of a sensational loss on corn,
although not quite to the extent that
some of the most enthusiastic bulls ex
pected. but it Is regarded as bearish
on wheat and oats, the wheat crop be
ing the largest on record and oats the
third largest.”

For the ICE-KIST all you have to do is to pour
in the cream, sherbet or whatever refreshment it
wy « « a a may be, and pack in the ice as in the ordinary
I Jl ft I w 14 L L freezer. Then the work is ended. There is no
working a dasher, no turning a handle or
crank, no straining your arms and back, no opening the freezer to “see”
if it is freezing, no extra packing in of ice. All you do after packing is to
open the freezer and serve the refreshment. It saves work, time, trouble
and—you.
Perfect Freezing
The Ice-Hist has no dasher or
crank because it has two freezing
surfaces. The old-fashioned
ireezer had only one freezing
surface—that is why a crank and
dasher were necessary. The
Ice-Kist has a metal freezing
tube that extends directly through
the cream to the bottom This
gives the two freezing surfaces.
The cold penetrates from the
center and from the outside,
too. The cream is frozen with a
smoothness that will delight you.
