The editor has installed, through
the Somerset Radio Company. the first
/ Ware-Neturodyne receiver in this sec
ton of Maine. It has been installed
in the home DR.. j. Leon Williams at
Concord Haven. 1t is the opinion of
those who have had the opportunity
to see and listen to this receiver that
it has many superior points to many
of the Neutrodyne receivers which
are in service at the present time.
There is attached Music-Master
loud speaker, which gives a fine tone
quality to the instrument. The edi-
tor feels sure that DR.. Williams will
be pleased with his summer radio,
and will service this installation the

this essay contest due publicity, as
this is the third time that he has
called the attention of the scholars
through the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ra-
do column. This is a wonderful OPP
portunity for the pupils to be able to
participate in something that will not
only test their ability on a subject so
far reaching, but will give the win
ners vacation allowances. We hope
that this last publicity item in re-
CARDS to the contest will bring the
desired results Your essay should
be written legibly, neat and on one
side of the paper only. The length
is immaterial as long as the subject
is thoroughly covered.

attention of those who are Interested

your summer camps can be selected
or made by the home merchants, who
deal in radio in Skowhegan. 1t Is
unnecessary to go outside for the pur-
chase of radio sets or material. There
arc two dealers who can make or sell
