THE RICHMOND PLANET ELKS STAGED GORGEOUS PARADE HERE Astound White People of Richmond---Hospitality Amazes Visitors---Good Order Here--Citizens Praise Big Meet--Northern Folks Praise Richmonders MAY 17, 1923 Virginia State Library. VOLUME XLII, NO. 41 ELKS Astound W Order Here The colored people of Richmond were able to house and feed every delegate and visitor to the Grand Lodge of Elks here. As a matter of fact hundreds of families were without delegates, although they had made costly preparations, to receive them. Some people, who signed at headquarters for delegates did not get any while many others, who did not take This was the result of personal solicitation by some of our people. Still, there was no visible complaint and the people good-natured pocketed their disappointment and lacemally forgot their complaints. All of the scheduled festivities came off on time. The Grand Lodge met at the Rayo Theatre Tuesday morning and after a brief session took a recess for the parade. White people were interested as colored people. A. L. Morton was chief marshal and handled the affair with superb skill, pecting, the line did not move on time, loving to the congestion, but when it did move, a spectacular tableau was staged that has never been equalled in this city. There is no way to calculate the staggering expense of this gorgeous spectacle, with the costumes, which must have cost each marching unit thousands of dollars. Every conceivable color scheme and design that would produce a harmony of colors were to be seen and the fact that even portly, plethoric men and women marched the distance from Lombardy and Leigh streets, to 10th street, to the Boulevard, a distance of approximately eight miles, many of whom in their own home cities would not walk four blocks without taking a street car can only be ascribed to the rejuvenating effect of 34 bands that played lively inspirings airs of sweet music with every step of the marchers. A city writer describes the scene in A city writer describes the scene in the Richmond, Va., News-Leader as follows: Uniforms of every description gave the parade a glitter. This was no sombre military parade with rumbling caissons and dun uniforms, but a tenuous, perfectly disciplined frolic, shiny with gold, resplendent in royal purple and dazzling white. Purple and white, the colors of the order, prevailed throughout. The Richmond lodges were effectively uniformed. The William lodge men wore white shirts and dannel trousers, purple sashes and purple and gold-trimmed tropical helmets. The Capital City Marchers had white tuxedo-style suits with purple lapels and leg straps and a straw hat with a purple band. The Birmingham delegation wore purple fezzes, black coat and white flannels. The Excelsior Club of Philadelphia had straight white duck uniforms trimmed in purple and a purple-lined cape. BIG SOMBREROS WORN A Mexican theme ran through the O. V. Cato Lodge of Philadelphia. Their uniform consisted of a great sombrero, purple tunis, white vest and bell-bottom trousers slashed with gold and purple. The bands were brilliantly dressed, the majors in bearskin shakes and uniforms faced with gold braid. The Franklin Lodge band of Columbus, O., wore sheepskin fezzes, with blue tunics and trousers and a furtrimmed purple cape. A sky blue tunic with a blazed front barred with gold braid, an orange sash and white trousers was the uniform of the Community Center band of Columbia Lodge, Washington. The James Liberty female band of Philadelphia, wore Khaki and the Eureka Enterprise band of New York, another female unit, wore white. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson did not fail to let he everybody knew that he was in line. He stood up in his automobile band and smiled and bowed all along the line, while his supporters had secured a long cloth sign, on which he was advocated as a candidate for re-election. His principal opponent had around him his famous Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, members attired in faultlessly cut cream white uniforms, while he marched with all of the ease and grace of a great leader with a smile upon his face. The minutes passing in marching order 4th and Broad streets. The accompanying line of automobiles, some one hundred in number became congested with local traffic and were somewhat delayed in passing that point. The parade was estimated to be five miles in length and this statement is conservative. The white Times Dispatch The outspoken in their com- mence of the good order and the state of the display.

Never in the history of the city has the reciprocal relationship between the white and colored people been so prominently displayed. A remarkable spectacle took place Monday night, when the famous Monarch Band through previous arrangement of its manager staged a senadee of the Richmond News-Leader. For an hour a crowd packed and jammed 4th street from Broad to Franklin street. So dense was the mass of people, that the music could not be heard a block and a half away, due primarily to the fact that the band was in an off-set in the building and the music was deadened except to those in the immediate vicinity. Dr. Douglas Freeman, the brilliant editor, and Col. Allan Potts were so much impressed by the renditions that they insisted upon another recital or senadee for the benefit of the building in general and the News-Leader's readers in particular on either Wednesday or Thursday nights and announced that a special stand on the adjoining lot would be built for the purpose. They done and done Wednesday night was selected. Some people that approximately 25,000 people crowded into the limited space to hear the music. The time was Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. The spacious stand was brilliantly illuminated with electric lights and leader and director, Frederick W. Simpson, smiled broadly as he gazed out upon that ocean of faces of white and colored folks from the point in front, where he wielded his small musical baton and later turned to look for the remainder of the evening upon his picked musical talent that watched his every movement and obeyed every sign or motion with the clock-work regularity of individuals, who appeared t obe more than human. No such sight has ever been seen in this city. After he had rendered a chosen selection of inconceivable prepared musical productions and had enraptured this immense concourse of people and hundreds of others, who were at the windows of the high skyscrapers in the neighborhood, Dr. A GREAT GET-TOGETHER To the Lodges, Courts of Calanthe and Uniform Department, Knights of Pythians of Richmond, Va., and Vicinity, N.

They went to the Richmond News-Leader building, the leading afternoon daily in the South, and for more than an hour senaded that great publication, while an "army of people, variously estimated to be from 12,000 to 15,000 and composed of white and colored people, listened with rapturous delight.

SATURDAY.....AUGUST 29, 1925 The "man behind the scenes" and who is primarily responsible for the success of the great Elks' event of this week is Business Manager William T. Dabney, of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, who was a great admirer and supporter of the late Col. Giles B. Jackson. The last effort of this Negro "idol" of many of our white folks was to stage here just such an event as was successfully "launched and landed" and was witnessed on the streets of our city last Tuesday afternoon. The bringing of the white business interests, the press, the patriotic white ladies and the city and State officials to the support of the movement insured its success from the start. Couple this with the ability displayed by the colored local committee and the public will have the whole story. A NEW SOUTH. The action of the white people of this city in general and the white press in particular in welcoming the Grand Lodge of Elks of the World and in incidentally aiding the colored people by contributing money and organizing ability in the direction of this mammoth affair has been a revelation to the colored people here and an "eye opener" to the large number of colored people, who have left this section and are now living in the Northern and Western States. We have always believed in the rejuvenation of the South for native-born white and colored people. The elements who have been shortsighted enough not to realize that the white and colored people's interests are one and the same are getting beautifully less. The politicians, who thrived upon upon stirring up race prejudice, now realize that their occupation is one. This applies to both political parties. One felt it his duty to abuse and maltreat the Negro and the other to favor and praise him. We know that kind of calibre of the better class of white people, and we rejoice that positive action is taking the place of platitudes and substantial efforts are being made to accord to the law-abiding colored people both protection and encouragement. THE WAR IN MOROCCO. That a white correspondent should $g_{\mathrm{e}}$ permitted $t_{\mathrm{O}}$ describe in detail the actual situation in Morocco, when a black race, know $n_{\mathrm{s}}$ as Rigians, Moors and Africans has been able to hold at bay and administer at least temporary defeat to two of the great Powers of Europe, France and Spain is an indication that $a_{\mathrm{n}}$ era of liberality is at hand. The writer in the New York Times continues: Having no hordes to aim at, the French would like at least to have a nice munitions factory, or a big arsenal, or a railroad, or a train of motor trucks, or even a road to bomb or shell. But the Riffians have none of these civilized luxuries, except some roads and trails which Abd-el-Krim has been building along the front—and the pack mules that he uses can get along fairly well without them. He has also been building some telephone lines, but it is rather hard to hit a wire. French artillery men have even told me that they wished the Riffians bring some batteries against them, so that they would have something to knock to pieces. These Africans have found out what their antagonists want them to do and then they do not do it. He says further: The Riffians do have a number of cannon they have captured from the Spaniards and the French. They C. 100. sec. use them, however, not on the line as batteries, but as isolated pieces against the outposts, which make excellent targets, especially since the French in building them never imagined the natives would ever have cannon to fire at them. Aviators have destroyed some of these Riffian guns, but, on the other hand, the Riffians have captured the important post of Bibane and other minor ones by cannonade. This then is one of the results of The World War. The natives have learned the use of modern weapons of destruction $o_{N}$. They know just what the $v_{Y}$ will do $o_{D}$ and just what they will not do. And again: In fine, the French have found that though they have shot away tens of millions of francs of munitions with every conceivable weapon—aviation bombs, artillery ranging from .155 to .65, howitzers, rifle and hand grenades and machine guns—they have not terrified the natives at all nor inflicted any serious injury on them. Consequently they are beginning to have a most heretical doubt of the value of their modern weapons in this Moroccan war, where there is nothing "their size" to aim them at. And still again: These weapons give the French a tremendous superiority in warfare in the open—but this war will never be in the open unless the French have to drop back much further than they like to imagine. Meanwhile, their costly equipment is chiefly useful for defensive purposes. The airplanes bother the Riffians most, but so far they have bee nichly effective for liaison with the besiged outposts, dropping supplies to them, reconnetting, and evacuating the wounded who need urgent attention at the base hospitals. The terrain seems all adapted to tanks and armor cars. They have been most useful in guarding lines of communication. As for the artillery, its action needs to be ten or twenty times more intensive than it is or it is largely wasted effort. The light mountain guns are by far the most useful; the bigger the calibre of a gun the less its value in this decentralized warfare. The above is a summary of the whole situation. Add to these statements the fact that the rainy season is coming on and that the foreign legions cannot manoeuvre during this period, while the Riffians can move with impunity and you have a summary of the whole situation. There remains gas. The French have not used it. They—especially Marshal Lyautey—fear it might only make matters worse by envenoming the struggle and causing even the loyal tribes to fear and hate them. And some of the French officers have scruples typical of the French and of their old traditions of chivalry. Said one aviator to me: "We aviators would be the first ones who would have to drop the gas and we are the first to oppose its use. We feel we would be demeaning ourselves. We don't want to kill the natives that we had to use gas—that the French could not beat them in a man-to-man fight." The Spaniards have not found gas to be very helpful. They did subdue the Anjera with it last year, but now this tribe has rebelled again and is putting up a more bitter fight than before. The Spanish have abandoned gas now and have been told that notice that if any gas attacks are made he will take reprisals on the French and Spanish prisoners in his hands. Returning then to the modern equipment which the French have tried out, one more point needs to be mentioned. These weapons have the disadvantage of forming heavy and often cumbersome impediments. They slow down troop movements. They make troops better targets for the Riffians. They require many men to use, maintain, supply, move and guard. Two examples: It is far easier for a .155 to get stuck than a 65—and its capture would hurt French prestige among the loyal tribes far more. Again, I have seen the supply trucks break down, block the road, hold up other units and expose them to the fire of the hidden Riffians. Then follows a most interesting statement: The Riffians are spared all this. They move quickly, almost invisibly. They have little to guard, little to lose. They can concentrate on the actual business of fighting. Nearly every man they have on active duty is, in the fullest sense of the word, a combatant in direct contact with the enemy. They have no "five mouths behind the line for one hand at the front." The Riffians have made this essentially an infantry war, a hide-and-seek war, in which elastic movement, swift manoeuvre are all-important. It is a war in which the individual soldier and the sharp-shooting rifle—that old weapon which the memory of Indian fighting has kept Americans from disdain, as Europeans have done—have come into their own again. It is significant that the native name for Morocco is Mogreb, for Mogreb means "The Far West." In their Far West the French have done as we, as any civilized power, would have done. They have put their trust in the god of this, our age—the machine. Our god so far has failed them. He has failed to terrify the native warrior, failed to knock him out, failed to stop him. He has proved clumsy on the defensive and unadapted to the offensive. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA He has failed in arid, nomadic Morocco to justify his great expense or our blind faith in him. The experience of the French is of wide significance. If modern civilization cannot devise a military organization as cheap, efficient and effective as that of the French, they will gain victories over day—sink down tomorrow underneath their own dead weight. This then is an accurate, plain undisputed statement of existing conditions. The only other way to bring peace without victory is to resort to the lure of money. It is presumed that it would be cheaper to buy them than it would be to fight them, especially when the latter would extend over a period of years, which would no doubt last a century. For the present, the civilized world is looking on askance, while the teeming millions of blacks in Africa are surging with the unrest of dissatisfaction and oppression.

AT BRIDGE EJKJS STAGED A GORGEOUS PARADE HERE. (Cnntinued from page 1) Douglas Freeman astounded the band master and caused the audience to gaze with open wonderment, when he opened a package wrapped carefully in paper and displayed to the astonishment of this wonderful director, with his remarkable aggregation of musical talent and this army of white and colored folks, a silver loving cup, about 15 inches tall, appropriately engraved as a gift from the Richmond, Va., News-Leader. Director Simpson replied in a brief address and then with a face, wreathed in smiles began to put his "glorious" band into action again. It whistled, it sang vocal selections and it caused a wave of approval and it caused a wave of appeal to rioters until by a warning he with a smiling counterance asked for silence again. The exercise included, John Mitchell, Jr., presented forward to congratulate him. "We are to go," he said with a smile, "to enter the contest for the prize at the coliseum, which is being staged now." His men gathered up their belongings and a few moments later they had disappeared. The account in the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch in the inimitable analysis of Mr. Douglas Gordon will best teel that story. Here it is: MONARCH BAND WINS FIRST PRIZE IN NEGRO ELKS' CONTEST Four Entries in Competition at Coliseum—Hold Big Audience Until After Midnight—Catto, of Philadelphia, Second. Another notable event of this wonderful convention of the colored Elks took place at the Coliseum last night, when four of the best of the many bands that delighted the line of march of that group parade the other day completed for first and second honors. The four bands all played at least three pieces, and as the contest was inevitably in starting, the concert lasted until the hours of midnight and later began howling for opportunity to get to the typewriter. But it was not a moment too long. Band concerts, as distinguished from orchestral concerts, frequently become monotonous. That was not the case last night, for a number of reasons. First, perhaps, should be stated the fact that everyone of the bands played extremely well in Ireland, let it be noted that they were not playing ordinary parade stuff nor any jazz—except toward the end, for encore pieces which the big audience demanded. For years down here in our country we listened to colored bands and frequently laughed, with lack of kindiness, at that unfamiliarity of some of the performers with their instruments, unfamiliarity which often caused many blue notes and cacophony. None of that appeared last night. To contrary, the men who composed the bands were all good instrumentalists—several of them brilliant—and at least three of the leaders were fine musicians and highly capa- ble conductors. In a word or two it might be said that the concert last night was on the same high plane of effort and achievement as everything else our colored friends Richmond and New York have attained throughout this convention. Notice to the Elks and Visitors YOU will find a true welcome, courteous service and a full line of Post Oards and Souvenirs at M. B. Williams' Drug Store, Corner First and Federal Streets, One block from Capital City Elk Lodge PAY US A VISIT WHILE IN RICHMOND Another reason for the overwhelming success of this concert was that some of the greatest music in the whole library of music was played. What composer do you suppose was most often represented on the proffesional Tschalkowsky album? It was Tschalkowsky's not a guess, of course, "1812 Overture" was supposed to be played by all the bands; but several of them played other Tschalkowsky pieces. Beethoven was played, too, and Rossini and many other lords of music; but Tschalkowsky was most often played. It would be interesting to write—if not to read—of the marked similarity of Russian music our own colored percussion for fountains, and to illustrate similarity back to the application out of which both schools of music grew; but this is supposed to be a report.

Back to the report, then: The choice of the judges for first place was the big Monarch Band of New York, and the second position went to the O. V. Catto Band of Philadelphia. As inside stuff it is divulged that the Philadelphia band played beautifully, and that it had a first trumpet so fine that he reminded at least two of the judges of the genius who played first trumpet with the first showing of "The Birth of a Nation" here. It is further divulged that the Monumental Band of Baltimore, played in such a manner as to confuse, or almost confuse the judges in deciding between it and the Philadelphia organization. All but the choirs, to be nice and technical, of the Monarch Band were so superb that any other decision as to first place was out of the question, especially in view of the fact that the Monarch Band is so big that it can produce effects impossible of attainment by a smaller organization. When that outfit cast off all lines, so to speak and played the Russian anthem—to which we sing "Rise Crowned With Light"—the power and volume and majesty of its tone were literally inspiring. With Beethoven's Minuetto with all the delicacy of a great pianist. This delicacy writer can listen to that band every night, and to the Philadelphia and Baltimore Bands, too, for that matter. Still reporting, it is to be said that the undermonly big audience which filled every seat in the house and stood by hundreds, was about two-thirds colored and one-third white, and that virtually everybody stayed through the entire performance.

They are off, "The Richmond Planet Salesmanship Club and Greater Circulation Campaign." Interest is dourly aroused by the Elks' convention which has taken the city by storm. Ever since the opening hour of this huge "Salesmanship Club" it has been the chief tonic of conversation wher- IN A --- READ THE NEXT THREE PAGES ever people congregate. But why not? Beyond all doubt this "Salesmanship Club" Campaign is the most liberal proposition ever made to men and women who are willing to do something with their spare time. You simply can't lose, for every active worker will receive one of the splendid automobiles, or other valuable prizes, or a cash commission check. Neither will fall your way, however, but just a little well-directed effort will pull one or the other your way—which one of the size and the value depending altogether on the amount of determination you bring in or play. The first week in the campaign is devoted largely to organization work and this campaign is no exception. New Club members will be hurling their hats into the ring for several days yet. It is a very simple matter to get started. Reach for your tele- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND VIRGINIA phone, tell your friends, relatives and acquaintances you are going to win that lovely Hudson Super Six Coach and that you will call for their subscription shortly. Get them lined up before some one else does so. Rush in your Entry Coupon and you will be off with a start of 16,000 or more credits in your favor. Do you want one of the big awards? All right. Within you lies the power to gain one. All you need to do is to make up your mind to win one and you are on your way. People who tell you you can't win are merely discrediting your ability. Prove to them you are as good a hustler as you are as good a friend as their support and encouragement. Remember this: Some one with no more ability, no more friends, no more personality than you possess, is going to win one of these splendid cars and each of the other rich awards. Why not you? If this proposition required the outlay of a large sum of money, or special training or education, you might truthfully say you faced an impossibility. Nothing but will to win and a little spare time, backed by some pep and determination are required. Surely everyone can meet those requirement. In the announcement to be made next week, a list of the club members and their credits will be published. There is room for all who may choose to enter, no matter how many that may be. The first credit count—or the first test of the strength of the several candidates will come when the credit count is made each Wednesday. Therefore, get your returns in for these counts before the office closes at 6 P. M. each Tuesday evening, so as to appear in the regular edition of the paper Saturday. Naturally there is keen competi- tion for the position of honor at the head of the list in the first credit count, and if you have a friend or a favorite in the race for big awards, just remember now is the time that help and encouragement counts the most. Leadership is always valuable, but it is especially so during the early days of a campaign such as this. Many people who have no immediate relatives or friend in the competition will be pretty much inclined to give their subscriptions to the club member who appears to have the best chance of winning. So to lead in the first count will mean to gain substantial support. Those who have been thinking about starting but doing no more than that, had best fall off the fence and get busy without further delay. The campaign is of short duration and, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by waiting, while much can be The big moments of the campaign are during the early days, while big credits are to be had for subscriptions. Subscriptions turned in before September 26 are a great deal more valuable in credit-earning power than those secured in the final days of the campaign. At the meantime, the live ones—the potential big race winners—are clearing the decks for action. They are in the race for all the gold and glory they can get. With the announcement of the names and the first credit standings in next week's issue of the Planet the race may be said to be really started. The first bunch are then "off at the post."

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. D The Richmond Planet today announces the most liberal prize campaign ever undertaken by a weekly newspaper* and cordially invites the live wire mon, 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 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 Sentence 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 savest 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 is it a matter of "please vote for me" but, instead, a 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 line. 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 LOSEERS—NO RED TAPE So broad and liberal is the plan of this campaign, 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. The 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. WHQ 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 in $n$ 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—earning 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 "Salesmanship of Gold and Glory, and you will find it extremely all subscriptions to The Richmond Planet. You will be the only credits for getting renewals from present or old subscribers as for securing entirely 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, 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 Six 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 past me 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. The plan $n$ under which this "profit sharing" distribution is to be made is absolutely fair and squar. The publishers of The Richmond Planet investigated carefully before contracting for the campaign $n$ and stand behind every promise. Every precaution has been take $n$ 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 $o_n$ 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 class 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. See the other page for the list of costly extras that go with this First Grand Award. The New Hudson Su Per Six is too well known by all, for us to go into more detail here. Go in and see this luxurious car and judge for yourself. SECOND GRAND PRIZE. As an appropriate Second Grand Prize there has been selected a $771 brand new Chevrolet Coach. You will find many improvements $n$ this late model closed car which we could not begin to renumerate but it would pay you to go to The Emrick Chevrolet Sales Corp., "In The Angle". Adams Street near Broad, and see it and inquire about its many new advantages, the you would know that it will be worth all your spare time to try and win this beautiful auto-mobile. THIRD GRAND PRIZE As a fitting Third Grand Prize we have selected a brand new Ford Tudor Sedan. five passenger car, same being supplied by the Kirkmeyer Motor Co., 1301 West Broad Street.

FOURTH GRAND PRIZE. The Fourth Grand Prize is a $250 Radio Set of the well known Col. B. Kennedy make. The cabinet is a handsome real mahogany case, fully equipped in every detail, which includes tubes, loud speaker, batteries etc, all of which are concealed in the cabinet, making it a very hand some addition to one's home.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE The managers in charge of The Planet 'Salesmanship Club' have bee in this line of endeavor for a number of years and have conducted campaigns in many nearby commun $ ties. 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. THE MORE—THE EASIER Perhaps it would not at once occur to you, but the more hustling 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, in order to win, fifty other 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 on the evening of Saturday, October 17. Just what number of credits will be required to win first honors in this campaign is something no man can say. With an 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. PROFITABLE—ENJOYABLE Gathering subscriptions for The Richmond Planet will be most enjoyable and profitable. Those who take part in the campaign will not be 'soliciting charity' or 'accept ng favor' 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 advertisings columns each week carry value to every family. It is an easily proven en 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 $a$ it is. Just the savings they will make from reading the announcements of special sales and the like show that. But in order that The Planet may serve the community even be better than ever, several hundred new subscriptions are necessary. The more subscriptions the more advertising, and the more advertising the bigger and better The Planet. CAMPAIGN OFFICE OPEN In order that every one participating in the Planet Salesmanship Club Campaign can be given the greatest possible assistance, and to insure prompt and proper handling of all subscriptions, a special campaign office has been opened in $n$ The Planet Building, 311 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va.

I. JOHNSON, JR., President BE FAIR WITH YOUR CAR. By Erwin Greer, President Greer College of Automotive Engineering, Chicago Suppose that there was a law which compelled you to put in a year in an automobile school, learning the theory, as well as practice of different parts of the automobile. Reader, it looks nice in type, but you're laughing—perhaps—because it looks absurd, too. Take my word for it that such a law would extend your car's life to ten years instead of the four to six years now the average life of a car. To expect an automobile which has seen hard service all through the winter to have "pep" "and to operate satisfactorily is unreasonable—yet most of you cuss the ol' boat when she begins to get distemper. You are doing yourself and your car an injustice and you do not realize that you are to blame for the failure of your car to give long service because you do not give it the proper attention. It won't cast you much to have the necessary "tonic" administered to your car for it is only necessary to go carefully over all parts of the car to tighten and clean them up. Or if you don't feel able to do it, let the repairman give it the "once over." You'll find it to be the best investment that you have made since buy- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA [Name not visible in the image] ing the car. What causes a rear axle to break? For one thing, it is bad for the axle and for everything else for the car to jerk along on three cylinders when you should be running on four. If the clutch does not engage properly, you are throwing a sudden load on the axle—a sudden shock which has a tendency to twist it off. I personally know of many cases in which the axle has been broken by letting in the clutch suddenly in an effort to get out of a hole. Don't neglect the clutch. It can be kept soft and smooth in operation without slipping, and then, when you engage it, there will be no sudden shock. Universal joints fairly cry for grease and attention. Unless you heed the warning at once, it is too late to save them, for they are worn and rattle ever after. Invest in a creeper or HUNT UP SOME OLD CLOTHES AND GO FOR A TOUR UNDER YOUR CAR. It isn't necessary to do it very often, but it is a great deal better to explore the under part of your car at your leisure in the garage than away off on some lonely road in the dead of the night. And the fellow who tows you home with a span of mules is laughing in his sleeve at you. I know, for mule hire on a trip to the coast several years ago cost me the price of a new tire, and I wasn't driving a flivver either. W. I.

I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden: Thirteen years are twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Anburn Ave. Richmond Va. BE INFORMED--R SHAVE WITHOUT A RAZOR INFORMED--READ THE IVE WITHOUT EDW.

I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. 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 has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J.
