be revolutionized by transmission
through the earth and water, instead
OF the air as the result Of discoveries
made at a little experiment station To-
Gated on a barge in San Diego bay, It
is predicted by Lieut.. A. A. Morton Of
the navy radio laboratory at Mare Is-
land, who conducted the experiments.
First proof Of the success Of the new
method Of radio transmission through
the earth, it was revealed, was made
when the United States navy depart
ment sent q message from the Annapo-
lis station to the British admiralty
that the dirigible R-34 had been sight
ed off the American coast.
Lieutenant Morton was at his instru-

Bismarck, N. D., John Jones,
farmer living in Morton county was
in the midst Of his ~threshing. He was
paying $4,000 an rour for his thresh-
ing rig, and seventy cents an hour tc
the harvest hands.
Along came an 1. w. w. organizer,
made his way across the stubble field
to the threshing engine, got the at
tention Of the men throwing wheat
bundles into the separator.
"What pay you getting?" he de-
manded.
Fifty cents an hour and chuck" he
was told.
"Listen boys. You fellows are damn
ed fools. You got this rube farmer
just where you want him. Let's quit
unless he comes through with a $1.U0
an hour" was his talk to the half do
zen men who came Up to listen to him.
Now John Jones, farmer, was right
there. He saw a big storm coming
and there was reason to hurry the
threshing work. He walked up to the
I. w. w. organizer
"You are not or this threshirg
crew. Come on nov get off the place.
These men are getting good pay,

and starting something. If you don't

The 1. w. w. sat on the pole Of a
wagon, picked up 3 straw and began
running it between his teeth and grim
ned while the farmer was talking.
"You see boys" he addressed the
harvest hands, "yon've got him in a
pinch. Let's squeeze him."
Then addressing the farmer he said.
"You poor damn fool! Do you think
you could get me in the jug for this.
He'll, I've got you dead to rights and
you stand a fat chance of starting any
thing with me. Here you simp read
this" and he handed the farm
er a printed slip.
"Have some boys" and he passed
them around. In column width type
the slip carried a correct copy o.
