at Monte Carlo with retinue of devotees,
a bag of jewels that would secure sizable
loan for Austria, and celebrated her advent
by merrily losing ten thousand English

Receiving Sets.
Any receiving instrument that
will receive Photograph messages
will also receive voice.
1t is estimated that there are
100000 receiving instruments
throughout the country, and that in
stallatons are increasing at the
rate of more than 500 sets a month.
To receive Photograph and radio,
phone messages no license is re-
Quired.
Commercial radio sets cost from
$25 for an instrument that will re-
ceive messages over a radius of %
miles to $3.50 for a set that will
catch messages from almost any
distance. Any amount of money
can be spent On the set in the pur-
chase of highly sensitive parts.
Set Is Cheap.
A radiophone receiving set that
can be constructed for Sc to SIS has
recently been designed by the
United States bureau of standards
in connection with the boys and
girls radio club work of the de-
partment of agriculture. The set
will enable one to hear messages
sent from medium power sending
stations within an area of about
ten miles.
Under favorable conditions high
power stations sending on 200 to
600 meter wave lengths can be
heard within so miles. The appa--
atus can be made by any one; only
few of the parts need to be pur-
chased.
The essential parts of the set are
the antenna, lightning switch
ground come tions, the receiving
instrument and phones. Ordinary
telephone head receivers are used
The antenna is simply a 75-foot
length of copper wire suspended
outdoors at height of so feet from
the ground.

lessons ISOLATION OF THE FARM;
INSTALLATION OF SETS INCREASE

In agriculture, more than in any
other industry, radio telephony
reaches its maximum of usefulness
to the nation. Not only does it
make the isolation Of the people
living ON the farms a thing of the
past but it brings to the farmer
weather, crop and market news,
the prompt receipt of which plays
SO important a part in the produc-
ton and distribution of crops.
In producing sections during GER
tain months there is always danger
of destruction of crops by frost. By
radio, warnings of impending frost
can be flashed instantly to an entire
district
Need of Speed.
The distribution of farm products
is controlled largely by the farm
er's knowledge of market condi-
tons. If the farmer hasn't prompt
market information he cannot know
when and where his produce is most
needed. The result is over-sup-
piled markets in one place, and I'M
der-supplied markets somewhere
else. Over-supplied markets mean
food waste.
In an effort to secure a proper
correlation of supply and demand
the department of agriculture has
a crop and market reporting serv-
ice that is regarded as the most
efficient reporting system in the
world. Market reporters in the
principal producing sections and
market centers are in daily touch
with marketing activities.
BrOadcasting Plans.
The establishment of a national
system of broadcasting agricultur
al news is therefore of vital impor-
lance. Radio brings this news &c
the farmer while it is hot.
At the present time, the depart
ment of agriculture with the CO.

tons broadcasts daily weather

BRIEF REVIEW OF 1922

Nineteen twenty-five has been e re-
markable year for Wauwatosa. Hun
dreds of new homes have. been built
and present indications point to even
greater building activity in 1928.
Everyone is glad to note that our new
neighbors are wonderfully fine folks
not afraid to say they like Wauwatosa
and glad to be here.
Much has been accomplished in the
way of Public improvements. The
new Washington School has been COM
pleted and in operation since eally
spring. Four rooms have been added
TO the Lincoln School and are now in
use. 1t is now planned to build a new
sehool IN the southwestern part of the
Third ward this coming year.
The new bridge on West Main
street is we'll under way and II Is o4,ite
likely that handsome ornamental ap-
proaches will be added-thanks TO the
kindness of A. C. Clas, who has made
| sketches and prepared data free to the
City of Wauwatosa.
Great progress has been made in
road building and the completion of
Eighth avenue from State street to
North avenue has done much to build
up nearby districts as well as being
boom to autoists seeking a short cut.
A new well located at 57th street
and Cedar is now under construction
and it is hoped same will be ready for
use in early summer.
Miles of sewer and water mains
have been laid during the past season
and much work of a similar nature is
under contemplation for next year, i'm
eluding a latse storm sewer on Wis
consin street.
A new fire truck will undoubtedly
be purchased this winter as the growth
Of the city makes il imperative that
we provide cur fremen with more
good fire fighting apparatus.
The Bohnert Building will likely un-
dergo certain CHANGES as 80 feet Of the
east front is being condemned for
street purposes. This viii afford
view Of Wisconsin street as one travels
north on the bridge and viii eliminate
a very dangerous left turn.
Our city play ground is surely COM
ing into its own. Thousands Of people
have spent many enjoyable afternoons
down there, in watching various ath-
letic events, such as baseball, football,
races, cts, TO say nothing about our
Fourth of July and Labor Day cele-
brations, both of which were great
successes.
Ornamental piers have been built at
the north side entrance and these
piers are to have stone caps and orna-
mental lamps. The skating rink has
been greatly enlarged and money is
now in sight to provide the little folk
next summer with very fine play
ground apparatus. All credit to Mr..
