There were over three-score visitors gathered in Miss Wares room when the exercises started, and they were unanimous in their praise of the tots and their teachers at the end
 It would be hard to pick out any of the pupils for special mention, as one and all performed their parts with great credit The most extended eff fort was put forth by the older pu- pills, assisted by Dorothy Dooley as Christmas sprite. The skit was an impersonation of the Crouch family who all got over it by touch of the magic wand in he hands of the sprte.
 The goodnight drill by six little mes in nightgowns and pajamas was well executed and unique. Every one of the pupils received gifts from the large tree, that were handed to them by Santa Claus. the latter part being taken by Clarence Johanson. Even the teachers were not forgotten by 1ld Santa, and Edward Harwood, who had been assisting the teaching force in it's work, was the recipient of a gift. Mir O'Nein, the janitor. was remembered, and several of the wis itors were surprised to find that San ta had presents for them also
 Cordova should be proud of it's school children and their teachers, and certainly those who were fortu- nate enough to witness the exhibition yesterday can certify to the fact that the future men and women of cordova are being well instructed, for the efforts of the teachers were testified to by the excellent results achieved.

II The Searchli8ht'' :
Chain of Amateur Wireless Stations.

One or two good amateur wireless sta
tons every thirty to fifty miles. north
and south. east and west. throughout
object of making 1t possible to relay
messages between distant points, Is the
unique project which the Radio Club
of Hartford. Conn. has for some time
been working to develop. The plan IS to
organize all amateur wireless stations in
the country into network Tor fnde-
pendent long distance communication.
There are any number of amateur wire
less stations in America In almost every
city and village that one might visit
there are to be found fanatic students
of the electric age whose especial deVo-
ton is given to wireless telegraphy. The
antennae Of their small stations are seen
stretched between trees. between flag
pole and the house gable. or in the cities
between short poles erected upon the
roofs The sending radius of these sta
tions is limited Neighbors send to one
another or amuse themselves trying to
catch the messages of the big CONNER
cial stations. Unorganized, the amateur
wireless plants have little practical val
ue. Organized. they might become a
tremendous force among the national
channels for communication.
The project of the Radio Club has
progressed to a point where messages
are being regularly relayed between
Hartford and Buffalo. by way of North
hampton Mass. and Westfeld. n. j..
In short time directors of the club
expect to be in communication with Chi
cago. For the realization of their plans
they are getting in touch with all ANA
teurs who have plants which will trans
nit thirty miles and who keep their sta
tions in continuous working order.

port as receiver under the new rule of

tailed statement of the receipts and
disbursements since his appointment in
