Loomis. His name should be better
known than Il Is, for no was a fore
runner in the invention OF wireless
telegraphy. One OF hie first inven-

false teeth which really seems to
have brought him more credit than
his subsequent work with wireless
telegraphy. The fact Is, however
that in 1885 he had perfected plans
for telegra phing without wires.

ARDEN VOTES
HIGHER GROUND RENT

Arden. Aug. 9.--After a lengthy and
somewhat heated meeting the resi-
dents OF Arden decided last Monday
night that an increase OF per cent in
ground rentals should be made fer the
year 1928.
The action came on the recon-
mendation Of the towns assessment
board, but was only accepted after
considerable opposition. In justifying
the increase 1t was pointed out that
most summer visitors at the colony
are charged high rents and also that
the recent addition OF the 1oo-acre
Harvey tract to the colony's territory
would greatly enhance land values in
the community.
There was also considerable wrang-
ling over the rights OF certain people
to vote on the question. 1t was charged
that attempts were being made to dis
qualify some residents who had lived
in Arden for years while some summer
residents were being permitted to vote
The ordinance was finally adopted by
\ ~ to Al vote.
