PHONES TO BECOME
 RADIO RECEIVERS

Everett, Wash, Oct. lS.-Tele. phones in Everett. already equipped
 with a device which measures con. |versauOn, are to be made into wire. ! less receiving stations through the . use of an attachment supplied by the Puget Sound Telephone Co.,, an iu- , dependent corporation which serves this city.
 To hear concerts, news bulletins and other features thrown onto the air by brOadcastiug stations of Sc attle, 90 miles from here. Everett radio fans, who also are telephones subscribers. will simply hook their radio receiving sets onto the at. tachment, which is known as the radio adapter, and which will ft into the telephone bell box. Ex, pensiye aeriaIs and wiring will not be needed.
 In addition to supplying the adap. ter, the telephone company. work ing with the Seattle Radio Assica- iOu. will mail to its radio sub. scribers weekly programs of the broadcasting stations and wlI collect S5 a year from each fan to defray the cost. The Seattle association hopes to have telephones in all other cities within a radius of 100 miles, equipped with teh adapter.
 The conversatiou-measuring de- vice. which, it is said. is not used anywhere else in the world. has been operated here for eight months and enables the company Ito charge for the telephone serv- ice according to the length of the conversations.
 When many residents found that the device. called the teIechromo- meter. increased their monthly bills. they protested to the State Depart meRt of Public Works, which held Ia meeting September 6, to decide whether the affair must be aban- dOued In the meantime 629 Ev- erett residents have signed appli- cations for new telephones to be installed if the machine is given up.
 Friends of the telechromometer. say that some of the opposition was caused by the fact that it made 'listening-in" on party lines cost just so much for every minute the telephone receiver is OfI the hook.

BAPTIST HOSPITAL REPORTS SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS

The Alabama Baptist hospital at Selma shows earnings for the first eight months of it's existence. It is gratifying to those who have contributed their means to this laudablc enterprise that the institution is being well conducted; that it is being operated on prac- tcal lines.
 The report of the officials says: "Of course it will never be the purpose of the hospital to make money, but it is expected to meet all oo- erating expenses" This is a praiseworthy principle of action. If the hospital were not self-sustaining it would prove a burden on those whose generosity founded it and dis courage further altruistic contributions toward such ends.
 The success of the Baptist hospital at Selma will serve to hasten plans for the establishment of two more hospitals, one in northern Alabama and one in the Mobile district.

GOOD REPORTS FROM ALABAMA FARMS

Weekly reports of F. W. Gist, crop statis- tician, and F. O. Hooten, market supervisor of the state department of agriculture, have been of uniformly encouraging nature dur ing the past several weeks. Not every product is bringing a high price, but the aver ods assure the farmer the market value of his products.
 Of cotton, MT. Hooten says that the crop has been marketed and that what has not gone into consumers hands at good prices, is held by the cooperative marketing associations, which through the holding of large amounts of the staple, are able to offset bearish move- ments. Cotton has been in the selling business this season, as it should be, but gradual mar keting has prevented any untoward advantage for the purchaser.
 The Satsuma orange crop of Baldwin and Mobile counties is bringing good prices and double the number of cars shipped last year will be shipped this year. Peanuts have reached S90 a ton and some believe they will go to $100.
 Wire drawing mill experts predict a steady run of business with them following the pros perity on the farms this year. : The observation of their agents is that southern farmers have more money than ever in their history.
 With the farms, the bedrock of all industry, prosperous it looks as if there would be enough to go around.

NO REPITITIoNs FOR HUBBY

A few months ago an English illustrated pa per published joke which struck me as having merit. When I repeated it in company gen. tleman who is supposed to know nearly all the Jokes in the world told me that in slightly diff ferent guise the same wheeze was current on the Pacific coast 20 years ago. He may or may not have been wrong. In any event, like the British version.
 A couple from the country have come up to London for weeks visit They have seats in the first gallery for performance of society drama. To them the play proves exceedingly tiresome. In one of the intervals the husband, stifling yawn, turns to his deeply bored wife;

 Another measure which deserves the support of all voters is the amendment which will en- able Talladega and eight other municipalities in Alabama to make needed public improve ments. The case of Talladega, which needs new water system, is particularly urgent. This amendment will not affect any citizens of the state but those immediately concerned, thb residents of towns seeking to levy local taxes for municipal purposes, It will not cost out siders a penny and they should vote for the amendment as courtesy to their fellow citi- zens.
 Democratic voters in all parts of the state should exert themselves to show their party's power at the polls, give smashing majority to the democratic ticket and offset the ac- tivities of republicans, who are making strong effort to gain foothold in Alabama.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL TREE

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 For several days, have noticed an article running in your paper concerning the planting of a tree in honor and memorial of the late Theodore Roosevelt, on the capitol grounds of Montgomery, which seems to have caused no little amount of criticism. And I ask you why? Has not civilization reached that stage yet where it can overlook party politics and grievances that our forefathers fought and died for? Is it not our duty as civillze1 nation to try and heal that wound that the country as a whole may profit by the sad ex- periences of ourselves?
 Theodore Roosevelt was an American heart and soul. Had nothing to do with the Cvl war or slavery, and in my opinion only the narrowest mind could conceive the chd-like idea of destroying that which was set up in honor and memorial of beloved comrade and founder of the one organization that is mak- ing better men and citizens every day, the Boy Scouts of America.
 They say there is no tree planted on the capitol grounds in Washington in honor of southern gentlemen, but it is needless to go any farther with this matter if after all these years of reconstruction and grief the past cam not be forgotten and the future looked forward to. ut whether or not there be memorial planted in his honor the truth cannot be de- nied that he was born an American lived an American, and died an American.
 Hoping that the bonds of friendship will be knitted more closely together, and that the coming generation will live to see memorials planted to men of worth, either southerner or northerner, am yours for more Americans and less radicals H. |. LAR0CHE.
