Late Rush of Auto
Owners Indicates Fem
Delinquents Jan. !

With 1886 automobile licenses and
number plates issued from the office
of the county treasurer up to TUESDAY
noon, it was certain less than 500 OF
the 1890 plates allotted to Marshall
county would remain on hand tonight
and it was believed there would be
comparatively few delinquents Jan. l..
Monday was the banner day, more
than 800 applications being received,
but the big rush in the early hours
Tuesday gave promise Of still more IL
censes being issued. Auto owners who
did not get their license numbers by
tonight are delinquent and must pay
the penalty.
There is a probability that not
enough plates are on hand to care for
all the applicants, but should the sup
ply be exhausted before all have been
furnished plates, the applications will
be received and receipted for and the
plates delivered when received. In all
such cases the applicants will not be
considered delinquent If the applica-
ton was made by the time the treas
urers office closed tonight.

Tom Wise in "cappy Kicks" Comedy
Treat of Season.

Ton, Wise in "cappy Ricks" Comedy
Treat of Season.
Thirty years between visits Is the
record of Tom Wise's appearances in
this city. but the welcome he received
Tuesday night at the Odeon. when he
appeared in the title role Of "Cappy
Kicks" should cause him TO shorten
his route and make his visits more
frequent. To the best OF Mr.. Wise's
memory he last appeared here about
1890 In THE Private Secretary" As a
consequence he found he was not as
familiar to local theatergoers as he
should have been or will be in future,
Wise should have played to capacity
business as his offering proved tho
comedy hit of the season. 1t IL a
dramatization by Edward e. Rose
from the novel of Peter B. Kyne, and
is presented with all the care typical
of the Oliver Morosco productions.
Wise is one of the best schooled act
ors on our stage and has natural
talent such as few possess. He has
the support Of an exceptionally we'll
balanced cast, most prominent In
which are Earle Foxe, as the seafaring
hero: Norval Keedwell, who gives an
excellent impersonation as the feather-
Drained scion of, an old family; Percl-
val Moore, as 'Cappy's" lieutenant
Miss Helen Lowell, one OF America
best character women, as Aunt Lucy
Bartlett. and Miss Isobel Withers. as
"Cappy's" daughter. Excellent char-
acter bits were given by Philip LORD
as Captain Ole Peterson, Ihofnas
Shearer. as Mike Murphy, and Elmer
ballard as Barvis, the butler.

which concludes the program.

picture which will delight movie fans
and big smiling "Bill" Russell has new
err appeared to better advantage than
he does in the present offering. IN
like most pictures in which the west
meets the east. the situations are nat
ural and the acting sincere AT no
time does the action drag as is usual
in western pictures. but the interest Is
held thruout and the picture is con-
vincing in its sincerity.
Lucille Lee Stewart plays the fem-
mime lead in convincing manner.
The comedy parts are supplied by
Johnny Hines as Johnny Green. the
faithful follower of Buck. Why Will

WAGE INCREASE
FOR ELECTRIC
WORKERS GIVEN
Tri-Gity Employers Agree to Alter
Terms In Agreement and Raise
Is Effective To-Day.

Wages OF all union electricians
ID the tri-cities have been boosted
BIZ q blanket raise OF 1914 cents
Der hour recently allowed by the
trt-csty electrical contractors. The
1szsfitations were conducted with
the best Of diplomacy and tact by 4
Committee composed of E. T. An
derEon, g. p. Lucharm and H. d.
Smith, from the local unions.
The electrical workers had an
agreement that did not expire until
April !, 1920, which called for d
wage OF 70 cents per hour. The
men felt that the conditions of the
times warranted the receiving of
more money, and put the matter up
70 their employers. They requested
that the wage clause in the agree
ment be opened and negotiations
toward a raise, be made. The re-
quest was met with all fairness and
tho best spirit, and the conferences
had the desired result.
Two Increases.
Under the terms Of the new wage
agreement, beginning Oct. 81, to-
day. iourneynen receive IS cents
per hour, foTemen IS cents per
hour. THIS status continues until
Nov. rs, and from that date to

BILL SUNDAY Is
HARD ON BIBLES;
WEARS EN- OUT

Rev. Bill Sunday has an interest
ing collection OF bibles and each Of
them he prizes far above any price
as all are the gifts Of people who
have admired and reverenced him.
The one which ne now carries is
the gift of the New Jersey legisla-
ture, which body suspended opera
tons long enough to present Rev.
Mr.. Sunday with the bible, estab-
fishing a precedent in so doing
1t is much used and repaired
with strips of tape neatly pasted
zig-zag across its pages, for Mr..
Sunday is hard on bibles and wears
them out in no time a. all.
While he breaches he always
keeps before him on the pulpit
bible open az the 61st chapter Of
Isaiah. which portion of scripture
he believes is his commission and
his inspiration. The first two verses,
read: THE spirit of the Lord is
upon me; because the Lord hath
me to preach good ttdings
unto the meek; He hath sent me 10
bind up the broken hearted, to pro-
claim liberty to the captives, and
the opening Of the prison to them
that are bound.
ITO proclaim the acceptable year
Of the Lord, and the day of ven
geance of our God; to comfort all
that mourn"
The passage seems singular ly wei
fitted to serve as the eyangelist's
and he makes an earn
est effort 10 live up to its teachings.
