Pass Official Test Before

By R. l., Duncan

| By h. IL. Duncan
 Director, Radio Institute of America
 Radio signals from the weakest source of supply travel to the end of the earth just the same as those from high power stations.
 They are not all picked up' be- cause our receiving apparatus has not yet been developed to the proper sen sltlVeness. But each advance of the science of bringing that development nearer.
 With this increased receiving sensi- tiveness must come an increased care in transmission,s While there is un- bounded pleasure in tinkering with a sending set, considerable confusion and damage may be caused by it's i'm proper use.
 Before an amateur may erect a transmitting station even of the smallest type--he must secure a first class amateur license from the gov ernment.
 What You Must Know
 The applicant for this license must be familiar with the adjustment and operation wireless telegraphy ap- paratus. He must be able to trans init and receive ten words a minute in code. He must know the rules and regulations regarding interference.
 The beginner should study the booklet Radio Communication Laws of the United States and the Interna- tional Radio Photographic convention" !" published by the government printing office, Washington. .#.
 In addition to the foregoing, the applicant must be able to give a com plete diagram and explanation of his apparatus.
 Second- Class License
 If an amateur living in a remote part of the country cannot appear before the government authorities in person, he may obtain a second class amateur license which will permit him to erect his station.
 But he will have to convince the officials that he understands the regu- lations. The first class license will be issued sometime later when an in spector visits the district.
 Usually these examinations are held in the several custom houses through out the country. For information concerning the nearest office write to the bureau of navigation, department of commerce, Washington.
 The penalty for operating a trans hitting station without a license is $500 fine and confiscation of the ap- paratus-regardless of it's power.
 But no license is required to install and operate a receiving set.

Extensive Test To Determine
Whether Carolina Can Grow Seed
Equal To Those From Maine

paSuuotank County farmers are
going to learn if there is amy differ
enco in seed Irish cUhblcr potatoes
grown in the mountains of North
Carolina. when planted beside the
finest from ArooStook County, Maine.
Thirty-six barrels of seed from Az
cry County in the North Carolina
mountains have been brought to Ell2-
lbeth City by G. W. Falls, County
Agricultural Agent, and will be given
a tryout on some Of the best farms
in the county.
The seed potatoes from the mouir-
tains have been distributed among
the following l'asQuotank farmers:
]. e. Thompson. three barrels; Geo.
Winslow. five barrels; ". {. Morse,
FIVE barrels; j. {. Morse, five bar
rcls; VI. i. Sample, ten barrels; }.
K. Britc. two barrels; ID. W. Nor
gan, two barrels; II. +. Sample, five
barrels; NJ. l.. Davis, two barrels.
The test Of seed is TO be made un-
der the following conditions: Farm
erS will plunt an equal amount "t
Maine grown seed under the same
conditions and ut the same cost aS
the home grown seed. If the yield
from the home grown seed is great
er, then the growers will pay ten
cents per bushcl for the excess yield
to the producer of the seed.
These potatoes says Mr.. Falls, arc
certified for seed, are of uniform
quality and free from impcrfcctiOns,
and not just certified eating potatoes
as are sometimes sold for certified
seed.
Two bags Of the mountain grown
seed were tested on the farm Of NJ

MISTLETOE SCARCE
AND DEMAND GOOD
Northern People Are Anxious for
Only the Very Best; This VIII
Bring a Good Price

The demand on the northern mar
kets this year is going to be good for
evcrgrcens, provided they are good
evergrcens. Dealers il Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington anticipate
n good demand for mistletoe and hol-
ly that is green and we'll filled with
berries.
Holly in northeastern North Caro-
lima is said to be very good this year,
due 10 the wet summer which gave
the leaves much nourishment. The
greatest trouble will be in finding
holly that is full of berries. Any
other kind is not worth shipping ard
returns will barely more than pay
freight and expenses of gathering.
Mistlctoe always brings n good
price, if it is green and well filled
with pearly white berries. Shippers
should pay particular attention to one
feature in shipping. Care should be
taken to sec that mistletoe is shipped
in the largest punches possible. There
are two reasons for this, first, the
discriminating buyers of evcrgrecns
are always anxious to find large
lunches; and second the evergreen
itself always keeps in better condi'
ton. The dealer can always break
the Sprigs apart if he should want
TO sell it that way, but small sprigS
wilt quickly when shipped from {
long distance.
Good quality eyergrcens shipped
carly will get the best of prices
Shippers should begin shipping early
in the month, and shipments expected
to bring a good price should moi
reach the markets later than the pc
of December.
Good mistletoe is becoming more
difficult to find each year. 1t is no
to be found in quantities any more
unless the gatherers 90 far back il
The remote swamps. There it is us
ualIy found in the tops OF gum trees
10 to- so feet from the ground.
The very best punches are 10 bt
found in oak trees. There are many
good punches to be seen i'll the biz
shade trees fronting the doorways o.
homes thruout the section. These
usually bring good prices, if sawed
off with a part OF the limb. Many
of these punches have become treas
ured by the families until nothing
could get them away from the home!
! of the owners.

TWO YEARSFOR
GRAVE CHARGE
Fate Of Negro Who Tried to
Monkey With White Girls
Is Lesson For Others

Because some white men forget
their racial position and conduct
themselves loosely with negro wom-
Gil, is no reason why a negro can
make himself familiar with white
girls, as was shown in the case
Willie Cartwright in Police Court
here this morning, who was sem
fenced to two years on the roads Tor
familiarity with two white women on
Poplar Street last night.
Cartwright, 2S years, old bears ey-
cry appearance Of Il half .wittcd, no
account negro. White boys and girls
make laughing stock of him, Jok-
ins and twitting him freely. Cart
wright was standing near the corner
of Poplar and Parsonage Streets last
night when Lessie Davis, 19-year-
old girl, came by in company with
Mrs. Lepnie Bateman, a Parsonage
Street neighbor. Both were strang-
ers to the negro. Cartwright took
Miss Davis by the arm, and was evil
IDENTIFY of a mind to keep company
with her. Miss Davis ran scream.
ing up the street, and no. violence
was, effected, the negro remaining
where the girl left him.
The girl says she had said nothing
to the negro. The negro didn't take
the stand in Police Court, and having
no attorney, took no appeal. He
stated afterwards however, that he
lust wanted to take hold of the girl
because other white girls had been
joking with him. Cartwright kicked
on going to jail.

FUR BEARING ANIMALS
INCREASE IN SECTION
Warm Weather and Practical Cessa-
ton of Hunting Give Them
Chance to Multiply

Fur bearing animals in Northeast
ern North Carolina are on the in
crease. The woods and swamps are
said to be full of raccoons, oppos-
sums, otter, mink and muskrats. For
the past two or three years they
have been practically unmolested.
Observance of game laws for one
thing has cut down hunting and trap
ping; and warm seasons have post
poncd the hunting of fur bearing ami
mails.
When the winters are warm the
fur coats Of animals do not assume
very great lustre or weight. Ma
ture adjusts the coat of an animal
to fit the climate. The skins of ami
mails are said to be tender and their
fur is said to have little strength
before frost.
A great many small boys catch
furs in this section, during the warm
months of Autumn, when prices are
poor. Early shipments Of furs u.s.
ually result in the discouragement OF
trapping for the rest of the season.
There are many trappers in this
section Of Northeastern North Car,
olina. Many of them have never
gotten what they should have fol-
their furs, for they have paid too lit
tie attention to proper methods OF
skinning and drying. Then too, most
Of the furs are sold to itinerant buy,
ers who always cry down values and
seldom give the trappers what their
furs are worth.
Not all animals are caught II
traps. Dogs are used in hunting ful
bearing animals, asl often some
scurvy country canine utterly lack.
ing in pedigree and good appearance
attains remarkable value because Of
his proficient nose.
Some of the larger animals are or
the increase. We hear of more bears
and deer being killed than in recent
years. Some say it is because the
denizens of the swamps have neglect,
ed hunting in the pursuit of an easier
existence to be obtained by the op.
Grafton of whiskcy stills.
