Saturday won second place in both
heats. Importer and AL Victor d.
vided third and fourth places.

not by nature. This pony took three
straight heats, and showed posi-
bility of being developed into fast
runner.
Billy Wilson took the trotting
event, although Pat Adams had diff
ficulty in permitting Billy to win.
Pat took second place in each heat,

In the running race, Hackensack
proved an easy victor over Wonder,
the latter from the local stables.
Topsy j., the lone PAGER, circled the
track three times without guidance,
the last round being made with a
running horse.
These horses are to leave Tuesday
for Ada where they will be seen
at the Ada fair the latter part OF
the month. The far circuit will then
begin and an active season is planned.
In addition to these horses there will
be a large number Of others entered
for the track events during the fair

LONG LAKE is HIDING
PLACE FOR BLACK BASS

Mr.. and Mrs. C. r. Rank are
occupying their summer home on the
shores of Long Lake, having been
there about a week. Mr.. Rank, as
jovial as ever, modestly admits that
the lake is just as full of black bass
as ever and that they really are Bit
ing.
"Of course they are not hauling
them in yet by the wagon load"
said Mr.. Rank, ''but we expect to
in a few days. Bass fishing is al
ways good on Long Lake especially
if you know where to go and how
to get them"
Mr.. Rank has built and sold a
number of fine cottages along the
cast shore of this beautiful lake and
plans are being made for added cot
tages by private owners along this
same beach. A number of lots have
been sold already this season and
indications are that it will be a most
popular summer resort.

nal score being s to S. Internal

fourth inning. Melhousc secured
the most safe hits on the Bemidji
team, lining out three. The Bcmidji

his moral support. Il. Bush took
Berrigans place at shortstop, Bcrri-

UNITED STATES MAKES
MONEY OUT OF RADIO
Naval Radio Equipment Now
Bringing in Returns to
Federal Treasury
By Kenneth W. Clark
(JJnited Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


Washington, June 19-Without
half trying, Uncle Sam is making
money out of his naval radio equip
ment. The commercial business car
ried not only reduced the cost to
the government of it's own business
but brought into the United States
Treasury last year more than 5000,
600 in cash.
Back in 1917, the commercial mes
sages brought $32,239 to the treas
ury; in 1918 this jumped to 1921,
9O3 and it continued going up, so
that last year there was deposited
in the treasury from this source a
total of $GGG,362. The present fis-
cal year is keeping up the record.
These figures were disclosed by an
extensive report on the naval radio
service and what it is doing, filed
with the Senate appropriations COM
mittce in its hearing on the naval
appropriation bill. Admiral Robson,
chief of the bureau of engineering
submitted the data.
Radio research and experimental
work by the navy has resulted, Rob-
sons statement showed, in a large
number of valuable improvements.
He listed few of them including:
Great improvement in facilities for
secret communication doubling the
capacity Of the crowcd ether to car
nv radio messages; increasing the
range of aircraft radio sets from
SO to 500 miles; reduction of the
weight of aircraft radio equipment,
thereby saving fuel; development oil
pilot cable for harbors and land
ing fields; making navigation and
landing safe if foggy and rainy
weather; improvement of simultan-
cous communication, so that it is now
possible to send five messages at
once, instead of only one.
Speed of long distance sending has
been increased six-fold, SO that GO
words a minute instead of 10 can
now be sent; automatic Transmission
and reception have been made pos
siblc; a kite has been perfected for
lifting and emergency antenna from
an airship forced to land on water,
thus making possible a spcedicr res
cue; advances have been made in con-
trolling ships and torpcdoes by radio.
Admiral Robson also listed q
great number of technical advances
having to do mostly with the effect
ivcncss of the naval radio in war
time against enemies by land or sea.
He declared the 214 naval RADIO sta
tons now in service adequately serve
not only the Asatic, Pacific and At
lantic fleets, but the American Mcr-
chant marine as well.
A listening device for detecting
enemy submarines and other craft
has been brought to perfection, he
said, and will shortly be installed
on dcstroycrs and few battlcships.
The details of this invention, Admir-
al Robson pointed out arc confldcn-
tial.

his words with startling Vvidness.
In the schoolroom, few years
afterward, Ramsey Is not distin-
