that during the coming winter those
who visit him will get good reception.

The above mentioned activities
show that Skowhegan is surely on the
map as far as radio is concerned. 1t
is wonderful thing to be- able to
listen in each evening as news is
received from all parts of the world.
There are many people who have
never listened to radio and with all
the activities in SkoWhegan at pres
ent, there are many places where one
may go for an evening and listen to
concerts being received where sets
are being operated by experienced re-
ceivers.
Many people condemn radio in one
way or the other and this is undoubt-
eddy the case where most of those
who have something detrimental to
say have not seen the operation or
heard the reception Of good radio
broadcasts.
Again on last Saturday evening,
station WDAP, Chicago, carried on
wonderful broadcast. 1t will be very
interesting for the new radio receiv-
ers to hear the above station operate
on some Of the Saturday evening
concerts.
Undoubtedly in the near future the
broadcasting stations will operate on
new meter wave length. This may
cause some confusion in the operation
of sets where receivers get about
the same stations on the same numer-
ical dials as they have continuously
received,

obliged to repeat the performance
five or six times the first season and
several times each year thereafter.
Directly following the close of the

happily noted.

The Citizens Band Out New Years
Eve

The popularity and success of
Skowhegan Citizens Band has been
due to the loyalty and quality of its
musicians and the faculty of arrang-
ing programmes that please the public.
The concert program for New Years
Eve has been carefully selected for
those who enjoy good music. The
dance selections will not only be the
new and popular "trots" and wal'zes.
but some of the best that have been
known to make the most tired feet
tingle during the last two or three
years.
The Band plays the best of the
old and the new and the lovers OF
dancing will not be disappointed.
There will be favorites for all not
forgetting the time honored squares
as the Portland Fancy and the Lady

France could not maintain her po-
sition very long in refusing to attend
a conference. Her prime minister
might refuse, but public sentiment
would force France into line, il the
way were pointed out to her. When
the people of the United States are
prosperous they are content to drift
with the tide, but when farm prod
uctS are rotting on the farm the
farmers demand solution of the
difficulty. AS republicans we cannot
confront the nation with no solution
of economic troubles. The republi-
can party must be big enough to
grapple with problems as they come
along and solve them. The initiative
does not rest with the United States
Senate. The Senate is not needed.
The initiative rests with the Presi-
dent of the United States

Referring to the wall of the pessi-
mist that the signs Indicate national
decadence, Senator Borah said:
There are no real signs of deca-
dence, although there are discourage
ing features cropping out as a natu-
raj aftermath of the war. The re-
adjustment Of our mental apparatus
has been slow. 1 never have known
a time when the people as a whole
grasp of matters political. To me
that is a sufficient answer to the sug-
gestion that we have entered an era
Of decadence. There Is nothing to in

LAS to things going badly" observed old
Glanzingfors, chat depends upon what you
call going badly. By the way, we have not
met since your sensational life-saving feat.
Rest assured it won't go unrewarded. The
death OF that girl would have meant ruin
for all our plans. AS it is, all goes we'll in
that respect. Theobald has been practically
accepted, and"-he broke off at quick ex-
clamation from Rosmer "Eh?"
"Our Government, then, places no ere
dence in the news of the resurrection of the
King of Pannonia?"
Surely you are not going to tell me
that-t-is -true?" he stammered.
"How can l say? l have not seen the
man in question. But there is practically
no doubt at all that the Pannonians believe
in him. They are rallying to his standard
everywhere, just as bees swarm where the
queen settles"
"But-but-" quavered the ambassador,
'what story do they tell? I mean, how IS
the temperance of the king explained"
"The man who was assassinated was they
tell you, Michael Ferolitz, and not the
king"
Won Reulenz laughed harshly
"And if so, where has the king been all
this time?"
"They say he was a prisoner for long
period. Since then he has been biding his
moment"
Won Reulenz sat biting his lip and gazing
with some contempt and more evaporation
at the disordered countenance Of his chief.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-05-06

seemed feeble. That such man could,
masquerade as the dead king was quite I'M
thinkable.
that the fact of the escape showed that
prisoners stupidity to have been merely a
pose. Glanzingfors quickly countered with
the opinion that it only showed how made
quately he was guarded. The guards had
been withdrawn, one by one. Helso had
appealed in vain for more. Nobody knew
how Thaddeus Milo got away, and, in the
generals opinion, he merely strayed out one
day, hardly knowing where he was going.
Then, continued the ruthless questioning,
how do you account for the fact that Pan
nonia is now united, organized and armed
to the teeth?
Glazingfors accounted for it mainly by
the one word "Swashbuckler." The grand
duke was certain to be in the midst Of any
thing calculated to cause trouble and exas-
peration to Nordernreich.
This intelligence was successful in re-
ducing the authorities to silence for time,
with stipulation that, the moment Captain
Rosner materialized, they should be put in
possession Of his information.

During the first week or SO after his van

was sure that the chameleon spy would
return as soon as he had perfected his new
identity into workmanlik eshape.
But, as the days passed and nothing hap
pened, the chiefs mind tended to occupy
itself more and more with hint received
from Nordernreich weeks before; received
and disregarded.
Nothing more coming through" he
growled, shaking the slumbering man by the
shoulder. "Wed better go and get some
sleep. Send some one to listen to the tele
phone"

eyes with his fists, steps came ~; Wy along
the corridor, and the princes confidential

care you still up, highness? Good! Can
you receive Captain Rosmer?"
The cry which left the ambassadors great
lungs was like that of the shipwrecked
mariner who sights a raft.
''Can receive him! He is actually here
you say? Admit him instantly"
"A thousand apologies for so untimely an
appearance" he was beginning, but Clan
zingfors cut him short with great oath.
"Untimely? Man, you were never more
urgently wanted Your news. your news!
Everything hangs upon your news!'
Rosmer looked quickly from one face to
the other.

sharply.

Cars Collide and
Block Electric
Line for Short Time

Car service was blocked for a time
near the acknowledgements line
when an Essex coach from Massa
chusetts and another car owned by
a Maine party. the Essex going
toward Augusta and the other auto
coming from the other direction,
both of them apparently attempting
to pass cars going in their respec-
tive directions, collided. The force
of the collision threw the Essex
across the tracks into the ditch and
in some unexplainable manner the
front wheels of the other car became
locked with those of the Essex in
such a way that they could not be
untangled and the other auto was
dragged upon the car tracks, thus
blocking the line for some time.
None of the occupants of either car
were seriously hurt.
