oval and Photographic lecture tell
ing you all about the objects nearest
to you. 1t does not matter what part
of the moving platform you board or
which one of the 1000 seats you take
in the circle, the lecture delivered to
you begins with the objects next to
you, while the person farther on, or
on the opposite side listens to the
same voice and through a different
set of tubes and hears all about the
objects nearest to those seats. When
you got around to that position that
same voice is talking to you of those
places but it talking to the other fell
low across the circle about the things
it explained to you when you were
in the same position. The lecturer
goes right on talking all day and all
evening, in the same tone of voice,
with the same accents on certain
words, the same little pauses at
times, the same personality in his
remarks to you, and at the same time
talks to all the other sections of
visitors of all the other places at the
same time. Go back the next day
or the next night and get on at diff

the object near by while the aston

the circle Is being addressed in that
same precise, courteous manner
about another subject. You try to
find out when he lets go of one sub

he leaves you to talk to the others,
but you can't do 1t. He is omnipot-

MESA
RAINS ARE WELCOMED
 BY MANY RANcHERs
Precipitation Favorable for Enlarged Aceraee Sown to Grain. Will
 Help Alfalfa

Aside from the temporary incon- venieECe occasiOned by the unprece- dented rainy season prevailing the past month, the precipitation is gen uinely welcomed by the ranchers throughout the Mesa section There is an increased acreage in grain this year occasioned by the present prices being paid for wheat and barley. It has been demonstrated that there is no better method of germinating the seed in the ground and bringing the tiny shoots up through the surface of the soil, than liberal amount of spring rains. Not only are the rains good for the grain that has recently been planted. but it will be of untold benefit to the alfalfa fields which are now commencing to show signs of getting ready for the summer crops that will be on within short time.
 In addition to the local benefits there is also the assurance that the deposit in the water bank is growing higher and higher every day. which will mean an abundance of moisture throughout the summer season.

Good Roads Enthusiasts

More than fifty OF the leading citi-
zens OF Preston county went to Nor
gantown where they appeared before
the county court In session there and
requested that body to authorize a
survey OF a road from Morgantown
through the Deckers creek valley TO
tho Preston county line. The propos-
cd relocation will give a good grade
the entire distance instead OK the old
pike over the mountains.
Morgan district in Monongalia
county. which adjoins Valley district
in this county, intends to spend a
large sum OF money on permanent
road improvements and II was the
purpose OF the visitors TO interest the
Monongalia authorities in the new To-
cation with the intention to build a
new road from Masontown to join at
the county line.
Should this be done and the road
graded and improved from Masontown
to Kingwood, Terra Alta and on to the
Maryland line a fine thoroughfare
will be opened up from Pittsburgh to
the East and will be OF incalculable
benefit and convenience to the citizens
of Preston county.
The public generally seems to be
very enthusiastic over the idea and
with such large number OF progress
sive people interested the movement
will no doubt be successful.
