MUCH MONEY CONTRIBUTED This has bee $n_1$ supplemented by donations from various organizations. The number of visitors has been highly estimated, so high in fact that there cannot be any lack of accommodations here. It may be that numbers of citizens have overprepared, but this could not be helped. Many of the visitors will be former residents of the city. In Memoriam. A tribute of love and devotion to the memory of my dear Dorothy who entered into eternal rest four years ago August 21, 1921: The' little she thought when leaving home That she never would return. That she soon would in death sleep sleep And leave me here to moan. No matter how heavy our loss is. No matter how great our desnair; Doesn't Heaven seem near and brighter. To know that our loving child is there? Just when her light was bright. Just when her hopes were best. She was taken from this world of pain To a home of eternal rest. I miss thee when hours seem dark. I miss thee, yes I do: I miss thee when sick in bed. My thoughts go back to you. I miss thy bright and cheerful face. Thy kind and gentle care. I miss thy willing hands to do. Yes, I miss thee every where. Devoted Mother. JANNIE NEAL. In Memor'am. Ellerson, Va.. August 15, 1925. In sad but loving memory of my son, McChella, Dahney, who den- erted this life five years ago. August 15th 1920, in Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D. C.: I am yet thinking of you, dear Son. And hoping to see you again. Altho you are lying in your solemn Altho you are lying in your solemn grave. And can never return. I never will forget the smile you made dear Son. And said 'I want to go': And since then I have been made to believe. That you are resting beyond the ship's shore. His Devoted Mother. VIRGINIA E. DABNEY NOTICE.

DISSE GOES TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR CHARGED WITH THREE MUR- DERS—CITY IS SHOCKED AT DISGUSTING TESTIMONY Disse was found guilty of first degree murder Thursday August 20th and sentenced to death 10th the electric chair. Counsel made the usual motions. Rudolph E. Disse, who shot and killed H. G. Carter' a white man at Hancock and Broad Streets, while he was waiting on customers in his place of business has been on trial all this week in the Hustings Court with Judge Coleman presiding. Disse is being prosecuted by Commonwealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield Attorney H. M. Smith Jr., Attorney Leith S. Bremner. He was defended by Attorneys Willis D. Miller, James C. Page and William H. Justis. A DIFFICULT PLEA. The defense had to rely on a plea of irresponsibility due to the use of cocines by the accused. One of the witnesses testified that at one time Disse took Vivian Tomlin Peers, the wife of another man and forced her to strip and get into the roadway naked while he touched her with the point of a knife blade. This was at a point on the Broad Street Road where he had carried her in an automobile. It was testified that he had beaten up another man. KILLED THREE. Disse shot and killed Detective Sergeant Burk, Vivian Tomlin Peers, H. G. Carter and wounded Willis Britt. It was impossible to secure a jury in this city to try him, so a venue from Fredericksburg, Va. was secured. It is the most shocking tragedy that has ever been known to take place in this city.

It may be interesting to observe that Spain and France do not claim to hold « valid tifle to any of this country and are exercising control under a mandate not granted to either of them by the inhabitants themselves, ' Mr, Clarence L. Streit continues: “The mountains through wh'ch the front runs Were made for cover, smd the Riffians and Moroceans ure more artful than our Red Indians in making use of it, Camouflage is nothing new to them.

Mr. Streit says further: “The Riffiaus rarely move forward even in a small mass formation to “The Riffians rarely move forward even in a small mass formation to attack the French, When they do they deploy their men in skirmish line and combine movement and fir. ug in the best European style of manoouvring. Nearly always, how- ever, they simply entrench | them- selves around a French outpost and wait for a French mobile column to come to its relief. They wait until the column starts to return to its pase. ‘Then they open fire on it from their trenches, dodging from tree to hillock, and follow it as far as it is safe to go, picking off the French almost with impunity. They do this until the post succumbs or the French suppress it as too costly to maintain, ‘Phen, while strongly entrench ng and fortitying this abandoned area against a possible French ‘offensive, they move on south to the next post ‘and repeat the same process.

Heading the List of Awards are Three Handsome, Closed Style, Late Model Automobiles. Open to Men, Women and Young Folks----It Costs Nothing to Join----No Losers----Every Active Member to Get Either Prize or Cash Commission. The Richmond Planet today announces the most liberal prize campaign ever undertake $n$ by a weekly newspaper and cordially invites the live wise men, women and young folks of Virginia and adjoining States to participate. The Campaign will be conducted under what is known as the "Salesmanship Club" plan $n$ of The Brayton Syndicate of Chicago and Washington, members of which organization will have charge from start to finish, being the same people who have man aged very successful similar campaigns recently for The Florida Sentel. The New York Age, Detroit Independent, Dallas Express, Etc. The Richmond Planet is determined to enlarge its field of usefulness and improve its every department and it is only after very careful investigation that it has selected this organization and plan as best and worst means to that end. The "salesmanship Club" is, as the name implies, a test of salesmanship ability. Being open to men, women, and young folks, it is at once evident that such matters as "beauty" or "popularity" do not enter in Neither's it a matter of "please vote for me," but, instead, of clean-cut business proposition in which the best workers will be the best paid, just as they are in most fields of endeavor. Practically speaking, every one has some salesmanship ability, but some never have had opportunity to test or develop themselves along that route. The Planet is now placing such an opportunity before you and, no matter how "busy" you are, you can "cash in" from your latent powers during your spare time, during the 49 short working days of this campaign, starting today, Saturday. August 22 and ending Saturday, October 17. NO LOSERS—NO RED TAPE So broad, and liberal is the plan of this campa-gn that there will be no losers. Every active participant will be paid with either a prize or cash commission. There is no red tape, no strings to that promise. This alluringly beautiful motor cars, all three brand spanking new, and the other awards, including a most liberal cash commission for those who fail to come in for one of the prizes, removes the last element of chance, making it absolutely impossible that there be any losers. Neither will it cost any club member a single cent—now or later—to enter and win even the Grand Capital Prize. WHO NAY ENTER. The Salesmanship Club is open to all except employees of this newspaper or members of their immediate families, which does not include correspondents, news dealers or news boys. That is the only restriction. For the rest of the men, women and young folks of the community the campaign is wide open and membership is free. To become a member of the Salesmanship Club is a very easy matter. Simply fill $ \mathrm{h}_{1} $ the "Entry Blank" to be found in the lower right hand corner, and either mail, or bring same to the campaign office, when a complete working outfit will be provided entirely free, the entry blanks giving you 5,000 free credits as a starter. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL The schedule of credits to be allowed for subscriptions has been so arranged that no matter where the club member may reside, his or her opportunity is good, even to the winning of the Grand Capital Prize. SHORT AND SNAPPY- This campaign $n$ will not be a long, drawn-out one, extending over a period of months, but will be of 49 working days' duration only. Think of it—urning a fine new automobile during your spare time between now and October 17. It is not even necessary that you be a subscriber to The Planet to enter the "Sale-manship Club", and share in the distribution of Gold and Glory, and will find it extremely all-subscriptions to The Richmond Planet. You will be allowed the same credits for you. renewals from present or old subscribers as for securing ent利 new ones so the field is 100 per cent, and open to all with no lack of prospects no matter in what direction you go. No matter where you reside there are subscriptions to be had and you can get your share and more if you but move to action and make your spare time count. EARLY START MEANS MUCH. The campaign is to be of such short duration $i$ it is quite impossible to place too much stress upon the importance of getting started at once. It is at once evident that immediate action is necessary if you wish to have the fullest possible advantage of the short time allotted, which means the best chance of gaining full ownership of that lovely Hudson Super Sx Coach. The earlier you start the better you will be paid—no question about that—and EVERYBODY will be paid either one of the handsome awards or a generous cash commission—make no mistake about that. FAMILY OR FRIENDS CAN HELP It is not expected that club members will depend wholly upon their efforts. Their relatives and friends may help them—and a merry pastime it will be—with rich awards to come at the end. So let it be understood at the outset that all club members are entitled to have all the helpers and boosters they can get. FAIR AND SQUARE. The pln_k under which this "profit sharing" distribution is to be made is absolutely far and squar. The publishers of The Richmond Planet investigated carefully before contracting for the campaign_k and stand behind every promise. Every precaution has been taken_k to safeguard the interests of participants and absolute honesty in all dealings is guaranteed. However, not all wisdom lies with any one man or institution, and for that reason an Advisory Board has been decided upon, whose functions shall be to decide any question of sufficient moment that might happen to arise during the competition and from which a committee shall be selected to act as judges and audit the credits o_k the last night of the campaign A WONDERFUL PRIZE LIST. It would be a hard matter to imagine a more alluring Grand Capital Prize than one of the new model Hudson Super Six Coaches. The value of the new Hudson Coach, delivered in Richmond is $1490.00. This is what the Hudson and Essex Sales Agency, 1651 West Broad Street, from whom we purchase this award, sell them for, since the recent price reductions, made possible by the great volume of sales, came into effect a few weeks since. The Hudson Coach is recognized as the largest selling and most popular car in its today, and with good reason, for it has stood the test of years of use and never failed to give the maximum of service to the purchaser.

The managers in charge of The Planet 'Salesmanship Club' have been in this line of endeavor for a number of years and have conducted campaigns in many nearby communi $ fies. In another column will be found a list of names of men, women and young folks who have won lovely automobiles in campaigns conducted by them. Read them over—note the various occupations—and you will discover that almost all of them were busy people Grand Capital Prize $1490.00 Hudson Super Six Coach MERCURY THE MORE—THE EASIER Perhaps it would not at once occur to you, but the more humiliating men and women to enter the salesmanship Club the easier it will be for you to secure one of the automobiles. How is that, you ask? It is like this. There are only so many possible subscriptions to be had, even if we consider every family in all the territory covered by The Planet. Now if only two club members were working, the winning one would necessarily have to have more than half of those families to be sure of having more than his or her opponent. But, if there were fifty club members working, the winning one need only have just a few more credits than any of the others. In other words, victory will come far easier, and from far fewer credits, with fifty active club members than if only a few were working. CREDITS ALONE WIN Remember this, too: The big awards, big as they are, have no strings tied to them. You do not have to qualify with a certain number of credits or a certain amount of cash business to earn them. Just so you have the largest number of credits, and that regardless what that largest number happens to be, you will receive that lovely Grand Capital Prize for your very own the evening of Saturday, October 17. Just what number of credits will be required to win just three in this campaign is something no man can say. You average number of club members working the final totals will probably be about average, which means that a surprisingly small number of subscriptions will actually secure first honors. $5.00 in Cash For a Nomination Here is one of the most liberal offers of the Campaign, since it is not necessary to become a Candidate in order to become eligible to this reward. PROFITABLE—ENJOYABLE Gathering subscriptions for The Richmond Planet will be most enjoyable and profitable. Those who take part in the campaign will not be "solliciting charity" or "accepting favors The Richmond Planet represents a big value for small money. Saying nothing at all about the news, stories and many other enjoyable features contained in each issue, its advertising columns each week carry value to every family. It is an easily proven fact that it will cost any family in this community more to try to do without The Planet than it would to have it for a weekly visitor, even were the subscription price several times more than the it is. Just the savings they will make from reading the announcements of special sales and the like show that. Nor is it necessary to put forth the slightest effort except that of taking your pen or pencil in hand and filling out the Nomination Blank with your own name, or the name of some friend. If the person you nominate turns in $50.00 in Subscriptions during the first four weeks you will be rewarded $5 in cash. Get in this campaign yourself. If you send in $50.00 or more you not only get the $5 Cash but will have a good chance to win one of the best Prizes. See prospectiv candidates and get them to enter. Just as soon as the person you nominate sends in $50.00 there is $5.00 in it for you. Nomination or Entry Blank Salesmanship Club, 311 North Fourth Street.

Tabloid Magazine AUTOCASTER Probably one of the most picturesque parades ever to pass down historic Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington was that of the 60,000 Klansmen, August 8. Klansmen and families came from virtually every state in the nation. In the center, (foreground) is Imperial Wizard H. W. Evana. AVIOCASTER 200 of Kansas's fairest "redheads" competed in a "reddest hair" contest at Pratt, Kansas, with honors going to Mrs. Horace Nichols. A-Rhode Island Red rooster was used as the reddest red. The one with hair nearest a match to the bird's plumage was declared winner. Mildred Simpson, left, and Jewell Grant, right, were runners-up to Mrs. Nichols. This Week By Arthur Brisbane Seven crops of alfalfa in a year, tons of potatoes to an acre, great are the wonder crops of this rich land. But the greatest crop is the human crop. Without that, others would amount to nothing. Mr. Jones's Star, of Rigby Idaho, tells of a family gathering of the Call family. It included Anson V. Call, 70 years old, of Afton, Wyoming, father of 20 sons and 10 daughters, all alive, healthy and strong. Mr. Call is the grandfather of 90 children, and they are all well. Tell that to your friend who thinks birth control will solve our problems. Where ignorance, disease, poverty and drink in the slums, combine to force large families upon weak women that cannot take care of them, birth control may be all that its advocates say. They don't need it in Idaho or Wyoming. What they need there is CHILDREN. Dancing and religion have long been united. Samuel tells you "David danced before the Lord." He well might, for his rise was rapid from lightweight champion, conqueror of Goliath, to ruler over Israel. Dancing has its proper place, see Ecclesiastes, third chapter, fourth verse, "time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance." The next verse says there is also "a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing." That should be remembered in these wild dancing days. When you get a piece of this earth, KEEP it. It cannot be stolen; doesn't rust; you are your own board of directors; unlike watered stocks, there is only just SO MUCH of it, and it goes up in price. The Indians sold Manhattan Island for $24. The land in Central Park alone is now worth a thousand millions. Mr. Hatch got 900 acres at Far Rockaway, New York, under foreclosure, for $40,000, tried to get rid of it but couldn't on account of litigation. When he did sell he got $8,000,000. At today's boom prices, if his son had it, it would be worth $762,000,000. KEEP YOUR REAL ESTATE. In Indianapolis, punishment is to fit the crime, when one man with his automobile kills another. The killer is to spend one hour locked in a room with the corpse of the person killed. The theory is that it will make the killer think, although it won't bring the dead back to life. Volkske had the idea reversed. In "Zadik" a traveling philosopher causes the young widows of India to discontinue burning themselves alive with the corpse of their own husbands. He didn't forbid it, only made a law that before being burned alive the young widow should pass a couple of hours with the handsomest young man in the village. After that for some strange reason, the widow usually lost interest in being burned up with her aged spouse. Often she disappeared before the funeral. What a nuisance the human BODY is. Through life it worries us with aches and pains and needs. The spirit is so easily taken care of. It has no rheumatism, no teeth to ache, no gout, no hair to fall out, needs no clothing, eats nothing, supplies what little real happiness we have. And we soon learn to suppress that part of it called "censorship." Even when you are dead, the spirit takes care of itself, goes off somewhere and the body remains a nuisance. The simplest thing is to burn it up, instead of leaving the work of destruction to slow worms, but many do not like that cremation idea. Death and what we call its "horror" ought to be most useful. Every time a man thinks of death he should say to himself, "merciful Heaven! I had better stop thinking and get out and DO SOMETHING worth while, for I shall soon be gone, and they will be asking, 'what shall we do with the remains?' and 'what did he amount to?' THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Poem by Uncle John It must be severe on the average mind—to search for the things we're unlikely to find; It's tiresome to rummage the ends of the earth, a lookin' for things of no imminent worth—and it takes a lot of nerves, not to mention the speeds, to survey a location that nobody needs.

"Not in the sense of his being known to the police. I consulted him once as a patient." Mr. Coline laughed. "You with nerves. Wragge?" he said. "You forget, sir, an occasion on which they were somewhat highly tried." he replied with a certain dignity. Mr. Coline regarded the speaker from under half-closed lids. "Oh, that!" he said, as if with an effort recalling some bygone incident. "I was not aware that you were so hard hit as that. Wragge, but as you have referred to that little lapse I will take advantage of the opening to impress upon you that this Glenister case must be conducted along the line indicated." "I am not likely to do anything detrimental to my career in the force, Mr. Coline. I gathered from the newspaper reports that Mr. George Glenister left England on bad terms with his father. It might help if you could throw any light on the cause of their quarrel. A woman at the bottom of it, possibly?" Mr. Coline raised his eyebrows. "Really, Wragge, you jump too readily to conclusions," he replied. "Drop that line like a live coal. The cherchez la femme wheeze doesn't hold here. Old Sir Philip Glenister and his young hopeful came to log gerheads over a much more prosaic matter—pounds, shillings and pence." The inspector rose from the chair, "Thank you, Mr. Colne," he said. "You have saved me a lot of spade- work and I will get busy at once. I must go back to town this afternoon and start on Sir Dudley's record at his former City office, but first I can put in a useful hour or two at Beechwood. I should like to see the handkeeper who conducted the search party, and if I could run up against Doctor Willoughby Melville I might play on his sympathy for an expatient."

Sir Dulley led his obvious up welcome visitor into the dining room through an open French window With studied brutality the baron went to the sidboard, mixed himself a strong whisky and soda and drank it off. "Now, Simon, reel it out," he said Mr. Trickey's parched tongue clove to the roof of his mouth at sight of that gurgling drought, but there were bigger things in view and he recovered his poise. A gleam in his bloodshot eyes even suggested that he saw the funny side of Mr. Simon Trickey being introduced to a whisky decanter merely as a bowing an I've been reading the movies. Glenister—I beg pardon. Sir Dudley, he began "There seemed to be—" "A damned good chance for black mailing me. Sir Dudley cut him short. Mr Trickey ignored the interruption. "There seemed to be" he persisted, "more a chance that you might need my help." "What for?" demanded Glenister roughly. The visitor glanced significantly at the closed door and the open French windows through which they had entered. "Unless you are prepared to talk on your fingers, sir. I should prepare to look at your imagination" he said. "Keyholes and garden the harbor listeners sometimes." "There is nothing more that you can do to help me and you have been well paid for what you have done already," the baronet responded angrily. "No evidence that you could give would amount to a row of pins so far as easing the situation goes. Nobody ought to know that better than you." Mr. Trickley was laughful. "You were always told to catch on quickly in a tone of real regret. It must be the dull country life that it's taken the edge off your understanding. I wasn't referring to evidence I could give, but to what I could withhold." "You infernal scoundrel, now I got you out in the open," retorted Sir Dudley. "I knew you were after blackmail. Just listen to me. Simon. Not one halfpenny more than the settled annuity will you ever get from me, and at the sign of treachery will kill you for the faithless dog you are." The ex-clerk began to breathe heavily. "I don't doubt you'd try," he sneered. "Pretty good at killing people, isn't we? All the same—" Mr. Trickleys speech was curtailed by the entry of the old butter. "I beg pardon. Sir Dudley," he announced. "The Rev. Mr. Branson has called to see you." Inspector Wragge, still clerically camouflaged, stepped quickly into the room in Hinkley's wake, precluding all possibility of a refusal to receive him. At the same moment Doctor Willoughby Melville entered by the French window, his impression quite annoyed him. His heart doubled engaged. Slouched and very thoroughly, from the crown of his scantily covered head all over the loud check suit and right down to the heels of Mr. Trickleys inadequate monocle played. The ex-clerk met the searchlight with impudence rapidly yielding to craven fear, and finally bound through the open window. Melville lifted his eyebrows to wards the clerically accustomed visitor. said the barrette "What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?" "I am corresponding secretary for the Mission to Blackfoot Indians, said Inspector Wragge, "and I have called to beg for a subscription I have received from Stephen Cone of Colnbrook Towns and he requested your name."

The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirted regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".

It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving "the rays of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parrotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimie self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine made me a perfectly well man for every respect. I cannot give Mr. J. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have seen many other suffering ones to him and they have also got cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by Mr. J. Hayden's Street Richmond, Va. I commend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick earth. Respectfully, J. D.
