PRESCOTT IN RANGE
 0F BOYS WIRELESS

James Grand the fourteen year old son Df City Engineer and Mrs. J. B. Grand is getting his name in the papers these days, all through his own inventive genius. Of several boys in Phoenix having wireless sta tiOns of their own, Young Jimmie Girand has probably one of the most unique and complete. The greater part of il is of his own construction. He is enabled to frequently pick up messages from ships at sea, and has been in communication with the Arlington station on the Atlantic side Of the country.
 For sometime he has been content with receiving from great distances. but now he is branching out and is operating a sending apparatus with great range The other day he tried out his new sending apparatus. by sending message to friends in Prescott. where he formerly lived. Of this incident the Prescott Journal Miner has this to say:
 MT. and Mrs. James A. Hope are in receipt of wireless message. sent by James Grand. Jr. familiarly known here as Jimmie 5irand. from q wireless station of his own con struction. near PhoeriX. reading as fellows.
 My first long distance wireless messag ge is to you My erector motor vou gave me long time ago was my first start constructed my own sending outfit and have q |. $. gov ernment license My call is 6 F. O.
 Young Girand is only T. years old, and Prescott las a just right to feel proud of another of it's boys who promises to fill q high and useful sphere in tho industrial world"

 CARRY CAVE
 CREEK WATER

If any of the gay young Lotharios or Romeos of this busting and enter prising village have designs on the charming co-eds at the University of Omaha. they are warned to look to their check books. Big. black eyes, pompadoured locks. glstening white teeth and neatly manicurcd nails don cut any ice with the omaha co-eds.
 An income of at least Sl,500 annual ly is the first nducement bachelors with an inclination to leap into the

 When De Lamatre said he believed an income of S1 900 a year was quite sufficient from an economical stand point. the fair young things burst forth with simultaneous shout of protest and incredulity. Who would want to live on that they demanded.
 The Omaha co-eds don't demand luxurious limousines, birds of paradise for their hats, eymine coats or be- ieweled shoes but they insist it takes Sl 800 year to keep a home going.
 Upon hearing the views of thelf fair schoomates, the ooys at the unl- versitv promptly held an indignation meeting and decided to boycott what they called the eXtravagant co-eds and find girls who aren't filled with "highfalurin' ideas.-From the Omaha Bee.
