Discipline is good thing. The
Belington husband who has to sew on
his own buttons seldom sows any
wild oats.
We see a fashion note to the effect
that corkscrew curls are coming back
Will that violate the eighteenth a
mendment.
1t would be just country's luck to
have to face cranberry strike in
time to spoil Thanksgiving.
Do you reminder when the old fash
toned Belington girl used to warn
her beau by telling him what her
mother thought about lot of things?
They say that moths eat nothing
but WOOL If that's true lot of
overcoats now being turned out in
this country are safe from moths.
Courtesy is that keeps woman
smiling when neighbor woman is
holding open the screen door and
letting in lot of flies.
When Belington man goes away
for a change and rest the railroads
get the change and the hotel men get
the rest.
The political writer who says that
1924 campaign will be quiet one evil
IDENTIFY never heard Ford running.
It's about an even break with the
votes Henry Ford gets the straw
vote Magnus Johnson gets the wheat
vote and the "corn" vote goes to Gov.
Smith, of New York.
Some mems idea of good CONVEX
sationalist is one who let's them do all
the talking.
Plasters are now getting $1O5
a week in New York. When Beling-
ton men hear that they understand
why more boys don't study for the
ministry.
And perhaps after all no one is
more interested in the drop in the
price of gasoline than the under
takers.
The average Belington girl may
not want you to kiss her, but she
would hardly be human if she didn't
want you to want to kiss her II
~ @@As3 - M X Eli,
When it takes a bushel Of wheat
to pay for haircut, you can't blame
the farmer much for growing less
wheat and more hair.
Fruit trees may be improved by
grating, but it dosn't seem to work
in the case Of political timber.
You Belington men who are rapp-
inging the young people for spoon !
ing in their automobiles ought to |
think back few year to some Of the
buggy rides you took along dusty |
roads with the lines wrapped around
the whip socket
The greatst misfortune in this |
counfy2 seems to be that he fellows |
who are out of office know most
about how our public affairs should |
be run

WEAF PROVES POPULAR
BROADCAS1|NG STATION
American Telephone and Tele.
graph Company Achieves Success
With Musical Programs.

One of the most popular broadcast
ing stations in the country is wEAF,
the broadcasting station OF the
Company, located in New York. N. Y.
This station has a class license
which permits 1t to operate on a
special wave length Of 400 meters.
WEAF has attained particular dis
tinction among broadcasting stations
for two reasons: First. because of
the variety and quality Of the pro-
grams offered. and. second. because
of the care and attention to details
which make it's transmission and
modulation unusually perfect
In the past season WEAF has sue
cessfully transmitted through the
ether. the music from several large
orchestras. feat which has been at
tempted by many broadcasting sta
tions with but moderate success.
The problem of arranging and plac-
Ing an orchestra and distributing
mlcrophones In such a manner that
the music OF one particular instru-
ment will not be emphasized unduly
Is a most difficult feat and requires
the services Of experienced transmits
criticism Of expert musicians.
Two Outstanding Events.
In this respect WEAF"s broadcast
ing of the Capitol Theater Orchestra,
which Is q frequent feature of it's
Sunday afternoon and evening pro-
grams. and the broadcasting OF the
Philharmonic Society's Symphony Or
chestra from the College Of the City
of New York, are outstanding events
in recent broadcasting history.
Tho American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company's experience in long
distance telephone communication
particularly fits it for the task of
transmitting speeches and music of
the finest quality by radio. The tech
nical problems of handling speech
currents in connection with a radio
transmitter are in many ways akin
the development work done by engi-
neers Of the company on vacuum
tubes for telephone repeaters is In
a large part responsible for the ad
vanced state Of the radio broadcast
Ing art. IT was through the efforts
OF the American Telephone g. Tele-
graph Companys engineers that in
1915 radio telephone communication
was effected from the Naval Radio
Station at Arlington, Va. with the
Eifel Tower in Paris and the Ha-
waiian Islands in the Pacific.
Many Letters Received
A special department is maintain ed
TO study and tabulate the hundreds
of letters received daily In regard 10
WEAFs programs Under a very
careful statistical system the desires
OF the radio audience as expressed in
these letters are tabulated in Sucl,
form that they can be studied by the
program department and programs
arranged accordingly.
Another duty of the statistical staff
is to determine the size and nature
of the radio audience and it's geo.
graphical distribution.
surprising number of letters are
received from executives Of indus
trial companies and directors of the
countryS most progressive enter
priscs. which indicate what an I'M
portAnt influence radio broadcastine
has on our national life.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Roo has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
BE sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
