RADIO AND ITS POSSIBILITIES

1t is doubtful il any other scien-
tific development ever took such an
instant hold on the people as Radio
Is taking.
In the past several months the
number of receiving stations install
ed has only been limited by the
possibility Of getting the necessary
equipment. The explanation for
this is easy and logical, first be-
cause in radio you have one of the
most fascinating entertainments
that the world has to offer, and in
addition to this you have but to
draw on your Imagination to real
ize some Of the many useful things
to be gained by radio station. Let
us imagine ourselves living many
miles from town or telephone or
from daily mail service; let us also
imagine ourselves living as we do,
in Orofino Zone of the biggest lit
tie towns in the worldly we receive
our daily paper with the worlds
news, some 20 hours old, at best
we have our telephone, our daily
mail and our train service etc., but
still we are not nearly SO close to
the world without radio as Is the
man equipped with q receiving sta
ton no matter how far he may be
from town. Radio will add pleasure
and contentment to those .who are
fortunate enough to realise Its pos
sibilities and who install receiv-
ing station in their homes.
Some Of tho many things you may
enjoy are musical concerts. weather
forecasts. market reports. news
events sermons and public speech
81. In fact there seems no limit to
what you may expect and the NJ
ture has many surprises In store
for you. and the future In this
case means the very immediate flu
ture. Development Ia being made so
fast In this line that ia simply
staggers the imagination.
II sounds to us more like . fairy
tale than hard facts. yet facts are
facts and soon you will be sitting
In your own parlor listening to a
musical concert In Denver. or It
may be Spokane. San Francisco,
Portland. Seattle. Kansas City or
Pittsburg. II you prefer some
other entertainment you will have
only to tune to another wave length
and choose your own. Jas. f. Nc
Laughlin. chief Of the Philadelphia
Electrical Bureau. asserts, no one
no matter how thoroughly they may
be versed In the ways Of radio, is
In position to say just what the
possibilities Of the radio idea may
reach to. No limits are placed on
achievement. no bounds Of confine-
ment. To those who are interested
in radio and considering the install
lation Of . set the very best advice
possible Is, first learn what Is re-
quired for your particular location.
There are many cheap equipments
advertised which are quite satisfac-
tory and efficient in some places
which would be utterly worthless II
installed here.
This is owing to the lack OF
broadcasting stations close to this
district. Here, It Is necessary for
satisfactory results. to secure one OF
the better Vacuum Tube sets and
care must be used with antennae or
aerial. and ground connection bat
teries, etc. Crystal sets are worth
less here and will be 70 until broad

ODD FELLOWS SOCIAL


Fellows held one of their socials.
and during the evening the Rebek-
abs served some real eats that
pleased everyone present.
Among the large crowd present
we noticed our friend, the jeweler
Lfndgren around; and as we wand
cred down the Groves, we asked
Chester If he would "hang around"
until after lunch. He said, you
bet" And stay he did; you ought
to zee him eat that Angel Food.
The Sheriff and his Deputy were
noticed out in the lobby with a
wistful look in their eyes. Motto
ing this, the boys invited them in.
You ought to have seen them eat,
especially Bob. After eating for an
hour or more. our Sheriff enter
tanned the audience; and I want to
say that our Sheriff proved to be
real Jewell.
While there we saw a good imi-
taton of Caesar, got several glimp-
ses of Pekin, China, and were in
gratiated into the mysteries OF
Jumping Jacks as side issue.
Miss Lindgren entertained the
audience with a solo accompanied
by Brother Compton with the violin
About this time there showed up
a procession in which Brother Perry
Chandler and Sister Olive Walker
seemed to be the main actors. It
looked very much like a wedding
for time, especially as far as
Brother Chandler was concerned; !;
but at the critical juncture, when
the sister was asked the vital ques-
tion whether she would "obey," etc.
she Immediately took exception to
any such intention. and the whole
proceeding was declared off.

Later on Brother John Molloy
was introduced as the Historian of
the Weippe. Among other things
he mentioned during his discourse,
he said, THAT in coming to this
section Of the country. he came all
the way from Portland, Oregon. to
Orofino in a boat, arriving here
sometime after Noah landed on Mt.
Arry-Rat He said that all this
scope of country was at that time
an immense lake. When asked
where all this water had disappear
ed, he said, soon after arriving
here, we cut channel for the
Clearwater river and let all the
water run out" Immediately
asked a member present how John
stood In the community as to truth
and veracity. He replied, well,
my friend, as far rs the truth goes.
he stands ace high; but as to ver-
acity. I have never heard how he
stood"
During the evening a very laugh
able incident was pulled off in the

Three ladies were selected a. models

TO MAR ST. MlCHEL'S BEAUTY
Sitting Up Of the Bay 10 Causing
Much Anxiety to the People
Of Normandy.

The steady sitting up of the Bay Of
st. Michel is a cause of much anx-
iety to the good people of Normandy.
IT threatens to spoil the beauty of the
famous Mont ST. Michel's, which at
present is linked to the mainland only
by an artificial eauseway. Formerly
the Mont, which In the course OF the
centuries has been by turns q Druid
ical shrine, Benedictine abbey, and
state prison, and which, since its
restoration by violet-le-Duc, is jea-
lously preserved as an historical
monument, was as inaccessible at

are too emotional to watch the am

without raising a fuss interfering
with the work Of the hair surgeon.
They twitter and fidget, and get ex-

the operator so nervous that he Is
sometimes prevented from turning out

The idea Of mirrorless surgery for
the mutilation Of female heads seems
to have originated up Boston way.

Actor Who Could Not Write.

The true story of Joe Mlllers Joke
Book" is an interesting bit Of literary
history. Truth Is that Joe Miller never
read a joke in his life, and therefore
could not have compiled book Of
Jokes. For Joe. Miller could not read.
He was an ignorant actor, who
achieved great success in 17l+ at the
Drury Lane theater in London, And
the only way that Joe Miller could
memorize The lines Of his parts was
to have them read and reread to him
until he was able to repeat them the
duty of thus drumming dialogue and
cues into the comedians mind being
entrusted to wife, whom he had mar
rled for the purpose. 1f
OF the stage or on, Miller was not
wit or humorist, But year after
his death pamphlet appeared in
which 247 jests were given, Of which
only three were ascribed TO Joe Miller
They had been compiled by man
with the appropriate name of Mottely
BY the middle of the Nineteenth cen
tury the number Of Jokes had been
increased by successive compilers to

TWO BENNINGTON
YOUNG MEN FLY /
To BURLINGTON
Harry S. Moses and Henry B.

ONLY STOP AT RUTLAND
Novel Experience Of Travelling
Underneath, in and Above
Clouds

Harry S. Moses and Henry B, Wal.
bridge Wednesday accompanied the
aviator, Lieut.. Cleveland, on a one.
stop flight to Burlington and are en-.
thusiastic over their experience.
With weather conditions perfect for
flying and observation. the start was
made at 9 clock from Dewey field
on a gradual ascent until 400 foot
level was attained, an altitude main.
tanned until after the plane passde
Manchester.
Passing Manchester the machine
was forced to 5000 foot level and
there he'd during the remainder OF
the fight to Rutland. After cIrcllng
the city for the benefit OF the pas.
sengers a fine landing was made at
Kelly field near the Rutland fair
ground. A stop OF one hour was
made in Rutland where the aviator
discussed proposal of contract for
the patrolllng Of the high tension
lines Of the Vermont Hydro.Electric
company The passengers utilized the
time In visit with Edmund p Howe
OF the Rutland News staff who was on
the field when the plane descended.
With another excellent take of the
plane headed north travelling for some
distance at an elevation of 300 feet
and directly underneath a strata OF
thin white clouds. Rising, the plane
Travelled for some distance in the
clouds and later rose to higher
level where the passengers had the
novel experience OF looking down upon
the fleecy vapor that cut on their
view OF the earth.
After passing Mlddlebury. the plane
climbed still higher reaching an al
titude of $500 feet which was main.
tained until Burlington was sighted.
After swing to the left over the
waters of Lake Chafnplan ana back
over Tie city, the plane was banked la

Speaking today OF his trip, Mr..

ltiful. The mountains, streams and
lakes, Emerald, Bomoseen, Dunmore
and Champlain presented a panorama

way.
The visibility was unusually good
for August. Mount Marcy in the Ad.

portion of the journey.
Lieut. Cleveland put forth every
effort to make the journey an enjoy.

1t might be OF interest to know
that the flying field in Rutland is so,

The proper value of the power Of
silence Is probably best expressed in
the scripiural reference to the vari-
GUS convulsions of nature, the wind
and the earthquake, followed by the
still. small voice. Coming down to a
more recent period and less re-
nowned authority, we are reminded
Of the man who advised his son to
keep his mouth shut so that people
would not know he was fool. This
advice is still good for the great ma
jorlty. Astronomy is said to be one
of the best means Of teaching the In
dvidual his relative unimportance in
the universe of matter, but to be left
alone, far from any human habita-
tion, in a vast silence will probably
accomplish the same.

RACED LIKE THE GREYHOUND
Hotafogo, Most Famous Horse Of
Argentina, Was Known to Turf
Followers Throughout World.

The most famous race horse that
the fine studs of Argentina ever bred
was probably Botafogo, for he was
renowned among turf followers the
world over. He died near Mar del
Plata a short time ago, being only
eight years old. Not particularly
fortunate In his parentage, as great
racers usually are, he nevertheless be
came phenomenon of the track At
two years he sold for $4,000 at auc'
tlon, although he was never good
looking.
When he raced the horse stretched
himself out like n greyhound. He
made his debut in 1917, and all the
classics fell before his amazing
speed. One day when he was not In
form and lost TO Gray Fox the event
was regarded in Argentina as quite
national catastrophe. In n subse'
quent revenge race" he defeated his
conQueror with perfect ease before
the greatest crowd that ever assem-
bled at the Palermo tracks.
