RADIO STATION INTERcEPTs
SENATOR'S ADDRESS

The radio station of Stanford and
Schultz was the scene of lively inter-
est last Thursday evening from 1880
to 8 o'clock. These gentlemen had
learned by wireless telephone that
Senator Edward T. Dunkle would ad-
dress the Chamber OF Commerce at
Arkansas City, Kansas, by wireless
telephone from the Fitzsimmons Re-
cuperation hospital at Denver, Colo
RADIO.
Arrangements were then made with
Misses Stella and Zelah Snoddy to
take this address in shorthand, SO as
to be able to give it to the readers
of the Independent.
A short musical program was given
as a prelude to the address, after
which Mr.. Winners, operator OF the
Denver station. introduced Senator
substantially correct:
"Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen
of Arkansas City:
TN response to a telegram address,
ed to the Fitzsimmons hospital, Den
YER, and which is the cause of my
having the privilege OF speaking to the
Chamber OF Commerce OF Arkansas
City tonight In your metropolis of the
central west from Denver.
"In 1905 Kansas City had a popula-
ton of about $4,000 people. Denver
in 1920 had 256.O00. which is fully one
half of Kansas City's population; Kan
sas City. Missouri. and Kansas City.
Kansas. This really shows that Den
yer has more than held its own with
Kansas City, while today the whole
west is dotted with flourishing metro
polises.
This seventeenth great annual west
ern stock show now being held here in
Denver is doing much to promote and
finance the west. 1t is popular dem
onstration of the growth of the great
west. Last nights paper informs us
that many of the choice prizes OF the
stock show are going to Mrs. Lula
Long Combs OF Kansas City. The west
is fast coming to the front.
"Your Chamber of Commerce should
be very careful to have upon its board
OF representatives men who represent
the best interests of the people at
large and who are interested in the
city's welfare first and in their per-
sonal welfare second.

trials of these men in our behalf. They

erty's cause and are to be classed with
those who have made the supreme
sacrifice. have just come from the
Red Cross building, which is filled
with the boys, watching the moving
picture show. They are as happy as
any other young men, but 1t Is the
duty of all of us to make their stay in
these recuperation camps AS happy
and as livable as possible and. lest
We forget. am calling your attention
to the great sacrifice they have made
in the cause.
Il told my wife that was going to
talk to the Chamber of Commerce in
Arkansas City, Kansas, from Denver.
She said that would be huge joke
There is an advantage In talking over
long distance for the speaker because
the audience cannot help themselves
and get even with the speaker.
