RADIO

We have just received a marked
copy of the Texas Pythian News
Nuggets published at Weatherford
Texas. This paper was sent in ac-
acknowledgement of letter written
by this editor to the Knights OF
Pythias of Weatherford, regarding g
radio concert which was given at
Fort Worth on New Years eve, and
which was heard by crowd >who
were at Raymond Sigman's home
that evening When the announcer
asked that all who were listening to
write them, we at once decided to dc
so and this is our reply. We copy a
part of the item below:
Pythian Home Mandolin Club, W.
B. A. P, Fort Worth Star-Telegram,
JAN 10, 1923.
On New Years eve, our Mandolin
orchestra, under the efficient direc-
tion of Miss Struve, went to Ft. Worth
to broadcast a concert over the Star
Telegram, beginning at eleven p. m
1t certainly made a hit with raido
fans, as we have received 633 letters
and cards complimenting it. 1t has
been very pleasant recreation to the
members of the orchestra each after
noon, reading them. A great many
asked them to advise when they
would have the next concert. This
is to advise that they will give an
other concert over Star-Telegram a,
Fort Worth, on the night of Febru-
ary 10, beginning at $50 p. M, cen
tral standard time. On that date we
expect great many listeners and
hope they will tune in" as music
begins. The program will be partly
different. However, so many have
asked us to repeat certain numbers,
that it will be DONE.
You radio fans who want to hear
something real good, remember the
date, February 10th, 1923. This or
chestra is composed entirely of Ia
dies. And recall the $3.50 there
means $3.50 here.

Lettuce Association Meets at Buena
Vista


The Annual meeting of the Colo
RADIO Representatives of the Lettuce
Association was held in Buena Vista
Saturday. Stockholders of the as
sociation were notified some time
ago that this meeting was to be held
to straighten previous position OF
the association and also for the pur-
pose of electing new Board of Di-
rec tors
The Head Lettuce Association has
been in the hands of the receiver
since about the middle of September
under Mr.. Lynch. Mr.. Lynch has
succeeded in bringing the organiza-
ton practically to the surface finan-
cially and within two or three weeks
the Association will be turned back
to the Board of Directors in much
better condition than it was in even
year ago.
The Board of Directors elected in
the last meeting is as follows: d. C.
Sindlinger, Buena Vista; w. E. Teg-
Ter, Buena Vista; C. H. Means, Salida;
F. H. Brandonberg, Westcliffe; M. A.
De Witt, Buena Vista; W. C. Smith,
Buena Vista; Joseph hewitt, Buena
Vistas o. S. Causey, Gunnison, and
Roy Hicks, Sargent.
After the meeting of the associa-
tion had adjourned the Board of Di-
rectors met for organization, and af-
ter the organization was completed
proceeded to take up business for
1928 One of the first things to
come to the attention of the Board
was the matter of clearing up de-
felt that remains. The deficit has
been considerably reduced, but plans
were made for taking care of it. The
question of sufficient amount of ice
to take care of next years crop was
given consideration and the represen-
tatives of the directors from the diff
ferent districts were requested to get
an estimate as soon as possible of the
acreage in order that a sufficient
amount of ice may be put in. The
matter of platforms at different
places was postponed until later be-
cause other things of more import
ance came first, such things as get
ting estimates on acreage, providing
of seed for the coming crop, etc.
With the organization practically out
of the hands of the receivers, with
financial condition improved as re-
CARDS the association, with a firm de-
termination on the part of the Board
holders who were present at the
meeting to push ahead the outlook
for the association is all that could
be expected. Everybody in the Buena
Vista District is ready to go ahead
with the work of the association. 1t
promises to be decidedly more sue
cessful than last year.
The pool system of marketing has
been abandoned. The Board of Di-
rectors is considering now the posi-
bility of having the produce mar
keted through the American Fruit
Growers company, or the Federated
Fruit and Vegetable Growers Of Amer
lea, or some similar organization.
There were representatives of the
two above named concerns at the
Buena Vista meeting ready to take
over the business of the association.

Some Gifted Eaters.

A N American. visiting Manchester,
England. not long ago, was
brought in contact with a waiter who
has served at every oyster feast
there since 1909 and who complained
Of the degeneracy OF the cotemporary
appetite
'The capacity of the guests 10 not
what 1t used to be-" said this walter
"I have often served fourteen dozen
oysters to one man. and many guests
would eat five or six dozen at tho
feast. Today few persons eat more
than two and a half DOZEN"
Now this disconsolate waiter might
brighten up II he had the opportunity
Of serving customer like the man
whom Brillat-savarin celebrates In
his 'sPhsyiologie du Gout-"
lt Is therein stated that when
Brillat- Savarin lived at Versailles he
frequently met a NJ Laperte. who
was very fond Of oysters. but who
complained that "he could never get
his I'LL OF them. The famous gas
tronomist determined to satisfy this
man once for all and invited him to
dinner. He kept pace with Laperte
up to the third dozen and then al
lowed him to proceed alone. He
swallowed oysters steadily for more
than an hour. and Brillat- -Savarin
had to stop him after the thirty.sec-
ond dozen. just as he had remarked
that he was beginning to enjoy, his
treat The TWO men then dined and
Laperte acquitted himself with the
vigor and appetite OF a man who
had beeu long fasting.

Flower CoIors.

COME curious observations made in

that light and temperature may have
determining influence on the colors
of flowers in different months.
The observer observed a tro-
paeclunn. or nasturtium plant, which"
showed three types Of ffiowers--yeiiow,
yellow with red markings and cIaret-
colored. Sometimes one type predom-.
mated and sometimes another. In
the offspring OF this plant ne me-.
ticed that the parti-colored and red
flowers occurred only during fine, hots
weather. in the second week Of Au-
gust, whereas during the cold. wet
periods of July. September and oc.>,
tober all the flowers were yellow. :.
BY self-sterilizing the flowers OF
different colors he found that in the
second generation the color Of the
parental flower had no. determining.
effect, and he concludes that tenn

Vienna.
HAVE come. from the capital of
-Czechoslovakia to the capital of.
Ehe new Austria. From one of the
new rosy baby capitals of Europe
to one that was gray-haired and
wrinkled when our National Capital
was laid out along the Potomac; from
one that was city when william the
Conqueror landed in England to a
town that was a center of trade when
the crusaders floated down the DAM
ube on their way to. take Jerusalem
from the hands of the Turks.
It was only $50 years. after Christ
that. my old friend Marcus Aurelius
died on this spot, leaving the medi-
tations we all love to read, and here
Charlemag gne built fortress after he
had wiped out the Germans. 1t was
in the eighth century that he estab-
iished the margravate of Austria. It
was during the crusadss that the
town began TO build up its trade with
the east. and from that time to this
1t has been the great exchange mart
on this river that practically joins
Europe to Asia.
Think of that when you prate OF the
death OF Vienna and say Its people
lie in coffin, listening to the strokes
OF the hammer as they nail down the
lid. AS for me, do not believe it.
and shall try to give proof IN the
story that follows.
On my way to Vienna I had some
live pjctures OF the lands that Austria
has lost I came here across Bohemia.
Moravia and Slovakia and via the
Danube. The city Is SO much the child
of that mighty river that 1 did not
want to reach 1t by railway. so I took
train at Prague and rode for the bet
ter part of day to Bratislava, the
