Start Wireless Club;
Who Wants to Join?

All those interested in wireless
telegraph or wireless telephoning
will be glad to know that the OPP
portunity is open to all to join the
clubs which are just being started
now. by MIR. Lloyd Snyder of South
Sth street Already seven stations
have been put up in different parts
of the city and twelve boys have
been taken in as members. The
club will be called the Richmond
Radio Club" and Mr.. Snyder hopes
to be able to make it big enough
eventually to receive messages
from other towns.
In order to put up central head
quarters for the general receiving
station, dues will be assessed of
about SO cents a month to cover
the expense of supplies. Then each
member may have private station
at his home, too, SO that the boys
can talk to each other over the
city. And perhaps if enough peo-
pie join, the club will become i'm

portant enough to take the daily
weather reports, etc, all the time.
Also, Mr.. Snyder will feature
Army Scouting with the wireless
telegraph and telephone, to work
in connection with the Boy Scouts
and also the general drill work
Any questions that any enc
wishes to ask about any phase of
wireless teiegraphy will be ans
wered by Mr.. Snyder in the ques-
ton box of the Junior Palladium,
if you will simply write out your
question and send it in to the edi-
tor. The answer will appear the
week following your question.
This is one of the best opportun-
tiles you will ever have to learn
this new type of communication,
and experiment in it. SO any of
you boys who would like to become
inventors or know all about army
scouting, send in your name at
once and get in on the ground
floor.

Sails Big Boat

Little Peter always wanted a
boat, but as he did not live near
the creek his father refused to buy
him one until last Christmas. Peter
admired the boat very much. Dur
ing the heavy rains of the last few
weeks he had all the fun he could
imagine sailing the boat in the
cutters. Once it almost sailed down
a sewer hole. but Peter. by running
fast, was able to save 1t from going
down.

Sic 'em, Towser

Towser is the name Of our watch
dog. We live out in the country
near Greensboro. The railroad runs
through our farm. Often tramps
walk along the track and at night
try to sleep in our barn. If father
was not afraid that they would set
fire to his barn he would let them
sleep there. Towser barks when
tramps try to sneak into the barn.
He won't hurt anybody else. For
that reason we like him very much.

Many improvements Made to
Make the Grounds Attractive

The Fairgrounds surely are be-
ing well used this summer. So far
there has been an average of $50
out there every day. The tennis
courts always have to be engaged
three days ahead of time, and often
a week. They are in pretty good
condition now, but the backstops
are worn out and the balls go out
side too often for comfort.
A new wall has been built on the
east side though, and the new
fence has been almost completed.
Fresh wire is being put over the
old on the west courts, too. and as
soon as possible, a slanting addi-
ton will be built at the top to
keep the balls in better than ever.
The janitors from the different
buildings are putting in as much
time as they can to get these i'm
provements done, and after the
backstops are done they will paint
the club house drab. or as Mr.. Ly
boult said. mud color. That was
pretty appropriate don't you
think?
The rogue court is fine now,
thanks to the kind hearted Rogue
club who fixed it up and then let
everybody that wants to play on it.

enterprise as that to be sneered at,

to do it, to be defeated.

The doughnut is a round hole en-
tirely surrounded by indigestion.
The origin Of the doughnut has
never been solved by our scientific in
vestigators, but it is known to be a
very ancient weapon. 'Plutarchs
Lives relates that on one occasion an
attempt was made to assassinate the
Emperor Nero by proffering him a
poisoned doughnut. over which pull
verified sugar had been cunningly
sprinkled, but that after being operat-
ed on with several raw eggs in rapid
sequence HIS life was saved If fresh
eggs had been as hard to obtain then
as they are now, the Roman empire
would have been better off, for Nero
is generally conceded to have been
one of the coarsest emperors then do
ing business on the continent Of
Europe. (,
The doughnut, however, mas some
admirable qualities. In the first place,
it is hardy excuse for food and can
be put on the table for several weeks
hand running without losing its youth
ful contour or dyspeptic ardor. 1t is a
melancholy sight to see discouraged
boarding house keeper pass plate of
decrepit doughnuts around the table,
week after week, without awakening
the slightest interest in those present,
then carefully busting them off and
laying them away for another trip.
There are said to be still in existence
doughnuts which came over in the
"Maytiower' and which retain to a
marked degree their peachlike bloom
and dealing contents. 1t will al
ways remain mystery why the max
ers Of the rubber tire do not adopt the
formula used in laying up batch of
doughnuts, and thus do away forever
with the vindictive puncture and the
profanity breeding blowout.
