mers myself, and during most of that
time have carried reliable thermome-
ters, so that I could say from my own
experience how cold it is up there in
winter, but 1 prefer to quote the rec
ords of the Canadian and American
weather bureaus. I have written both
Of them and asked them to give me the
lowest temperature ever recorded in
the Canadian station at Herschel
island on the north coast Of Canada
near the mouth Of the Mackenzie river,
and the American station near Point
Barrow, at the north tip of Alaska,
about 900 miles north Of the Arctic
circle. The replies in both cases were
identical: we have never recorded
anything lower than 81 degrees Fab
renheit below zero.'
'The other day was reading over
a report of the meteorological observa-
tions Of my Arctic expedition Of 1913

DIR. R. NJ. Anderson. He says: The
lowest temperature of the winter was
46 degrees below zero,' or about like

In the event of fire on board the

situated it is Immediately isolated by

The Majestic's passenger carrying
capacity is 1000. She will carry a
crew of over 1000.
Altogether this new transatlantic
liner may be described as the highest
expression of the shipbuilders' art-a
combination of engineering, architec-
tural and decorative genius-that has
SO far been produced.

The Farm Radiophone, the
Greatest of All Farm Con-
yenienceS.

Regardless of low prices, depres-
sions, and hard times, the world is
moving right along and making Won
derful progress. The "radio" or wire
less telephone has just been practi-
cally perfected and handed to the
public. It is here, and here to stay,
because it can do something worth
while for the people. Within the next
few years the wireless telephone will
be as common as the ordinary tele-
phone is today. Fathers will talk to
sons and daughters over thousand
miles away and recognize voices,
while New Workers will call up and
converse with friends on the big
transatlantic liners when they are
about to land in Liverpool. Storm
warnings and weather reports will be
flashed ahead in time for security,
and entertainment of the rarest quail
ity will be furnished to the man in
overalls as he rests in his country
home after hard days plowing.
You don't believe this?
You might as well; for it is true,
and before you have time to stop and
ponder some neighbor is going to in
stall set of instruments, and invite
you over some evening to hear Presi-
dent Harding make an address or the
Metropolitan Grand Opera Company
render a fine program.
The wireless telephone will not
benefit any class of people quite as
much as it will the farmer. "Back-
woods" poor roads, the remotest Sc
clusion Of the countriest farmer will
cut no figure with the wireless tele-
phone since it needs no poles, no
wires, no linemen to keep it in re-
pair. It uses the same air we breathe
and will work just as well or better
on lonely hill op fifty miles from
the nearest railroad than in Madison
Square.
It will be worth its weight in gold
to the farmers of this section where
rains slip up so frequently unan-
nounced. What would farmer give
to know the previous night whether or
not to take in his hay on account of
the unexpected rain? He can find this
out from his wireless. Is he assured
the clouds will give way to a clear
sky before morning and permit frost
which would kill his early beans and
tomatoes? BY using his wireless he
can find out from Nashville, Louis

Worlds Greatest Liner Starts
on First Voyage.

I Southampton, May 13.-Fhe Ma
jestic, the. worlds largest liner
steamed out of Southampton harbor
today on her maiden voyage to New
York.
The Mejestic, a virtual queen of
the seas, was built for the Hamburg
American line in Germany, but was
turned over to the White Star line un-
der the terms of the reparations
agreement.
With length over all of $50 feet,
height from keel to boat deck Of
1O2 feet and breadth of 100 feet,
the Majestic has a gross tonnage of
about $4,000 and displacement Of
$4,000 tons when loaded to her
marks. By reason of the altered eco
nomic conditions caused by the war,
she doubtless will be the last word in
mercantile shipping for some time to
come.
Assisted by tugs, she made an i'm
pressive spectacle as she swung round
with her head to the sea and began to
steam majestically out into the chan
mel.
Like most of the modern liners, the
Majectic is an oil-burner and is car
rying enough fuel for the round trip,
as against one way bunkering with
coal. Her designers confidently ex-
pect her to average twenty-three
knots per hour.
Equipment Impressive.
The Majestic's equipment is huge
|and impressive and reveals some as
tonishing figures.
The linen, for instance comprises
100000 pieces. Her sheets, stretched
out side by side would make a line
for sixten miles. There are fifteen
miles of blankets, weighing seventeen
tons; nineteen miles of tablecloths
and seventeen miles of serviettes.
Although if the entire linen of the
ship were put on one huge clothes
line it would reach for distance of
1852 miles!
In things like crockery there are
5000 tumblers, 5000 cruets, 10000
plates, 5000 wine glasses, $4,000
cups, 2,4OO teapots. Piled up, the
crockery would make column half
as high again as the Woolworth build
ing. In the galley arrangements, of
which there are eight, there is one
provided entirely for Jewish passen-
gers, something hitherto unknown.
Has Much Floor Space.

then know whether or not to sell my
hogs or CATTLE" This is one of the
many important things given out each
night for the benefit of the rural pop
ulation. In my section the weather
report and the market quotation are
given out each evening at 7:15
o'clock.
Aside from it's value in giving the
farmer needed information, the wire
less telephone has another strong fea-
lures that recommends it to country
people. This is it's value as an enter
tainer. Nothing makes rural life so
unpleasant as it's monotony. Rural
people are frequently deprived of
theatres, picture shows, opera, and
fine orchestras because the roads are
too bad or the distance too great. Dur
ing the cold nights of the winter sea-
son the farmer and his family can sit
around their own freside and listen
to Schumann-Heinck, Galli-Curci,
Fritz Kriestler and other noted ar
lists entertain the people in the opera
house in Atlanta, Boston or New
Orleans, and also can actually hear
the applause that occurs from one
number to another. Would this make
home life better or worth more to the
children?
Is there red blooded boy in the
country who does not like to see a
baseball game? Wouldn't he be glad
to know tonight who won this after
noon? He surely would. Last evening
the writer heard the market quota
tions, weather report, baseball score,
then a fine concert of singers and
players, a man in Newark, New Jer-
sey, and piano playing in Cincinna-
ii, Ohio. This all happened in few
moments while he was resting quiet
ly in Memphis. !.
The wireless telephone is certainly
one of the greatest inventions for ac-
tual service and entertainment for
the rural population. They need more
entertainment and recreation and
with the radio they get entertainment
and recreation of the highest order
and get them right at home. How
much it would mean to the average
community to have radio outfit in
the school house or in the church
where ali could go and be benefited.
Would it not help to solve the prob
lem of keeping the children on the
farm?
