A little more than a year ago, Gen.
Carly conducted what was termed the
national roll call of telephone centers
and broadcasters which included the
greatest number of radio and telephone
stations ever linked into a national
net The plans for September ~ prob
ably with surpass this achievement,
and, of course. are official, carried out
with the definite purpose of a commu-
nication defense test. The national
broadcasts are made possible through
the cooperation of two Bell stations
and Is independent broadcasters hooked
up with the Bell system by long-dis-
tance wires, placed at the disposal of
the w ar department IOr the evening.
The stations to broadcast include
those used during the political con-
ventions and the notification cere-
monies, together with WOAW, Oma-
ha; WFAA, Dallas, and KGO, Oak

Western States and the Pacific Coast,

This is the first attempt at such ex-
tensive broadca sting, enabling one

Old Fashioned
Farm Bureau

The womens division of the Farm
Bureau met with Miss Irene Libby at
her schoolhouse in Pond District, jan
uary 3rd, 1924. The members were
few, only three being present, but
the day was thoroughly enjoyed from
start to finish. Miss Libby is an
up-to-date teacher and one that st.
Adams can justly be proud of, an
earnest worker, and the ability to
take her pupils through their tasks
SO they, by the lesson in question and
the order maintained. makes it a
pleasure for the visitor to sit and see
and hear the work. Miss Libby did
not specialize on her work but dem
onstrated her regular routine of work
as it is performed from day to day,
We found the schoolrooM tastefully
decorated with the children's work
and up-to-date furniture, not often
found In a rural schoolhouse. a sink,
table, freless cooker, kitchen uten-
sis TO serve hot lunches, a book case
filled with books such as Histories, 3
volumes Winston's Encyclopedias,
Lives of our Presidents and many 9TH
er school helps were noted
Especial mention should be made of
the history lesson given by Clarence
Morrow on the causes( of the World
War, he enumerated many of them in
a clear and concise manner. The
Geography lesson of the A class was
well recited by Myron Wood and Mar
garet Buker and others. The lessons
of the b class were also enjoyed.
We could not pass by the first
grade without saying that without
doubt, there will be no first grade in
Miss Libby's school at the rate they
are progressing unless there are 9TH
ers to take their places for they are
certainly climbing. At noon a pic
mic lunch was served and teacher
and visitors enjoyed the noon hour
very much. Alfred Hilton took din
ner with us and remained for the aft
ernoon session. Miss Libby called on
the secretary who made a few re-
marks on school work past and pres
ent. The others also spoke a few
words. Thus ended a pleasant and
profitable day.

Maine Fruit Growers TO Meet

The Western Maine Fruit Growers
Convention to be held at Auburn, Feb

letters that are coming to the office
inquiring about 1t and commenting

important topics connected with
growing fruit, such as selecting the
nursery stock. preparing the lead,
setting the trees, cultivating and fer
tilizing the orchard, We also shall

thinning and marketing the finished
product. This will be a clearing
house for all orchard problems. One
feature will be demonstration in

the Maine Apple Packing law.
There will be trades exhibits, in
Guiding nursery stock, busting and

Where Can l Put Ny Horse9
(By r. T. Patten)

tBy II. Il. IatIeD)
! In these changing times we retain
for various services, names which
have lost their accuracy. We are
quite prone to speak of ten-cent
stable or a ten-cent team. The jit-
ney has largely taken the place OF
the. hack of earlier times and of
course no sort of transportation Is
offered for dime nowadays. | mis-
trust this Is somewhat so regarding
the accommodation formerly offered
by the so-called ten-cent stables.
These establishments fourished be-
fore the days of automobiles. A man
could stand his horse in a good com
Portable stall, feed him providing he
had brought hay and grain water and
care for him himself, and pay the
owner of the stable 10c. 1t was an
excellent arrangement for the stable
keeper and the horse owner. II ac-
commodations of this kind are now
offered | don't know what the price
would be. The main trouble Is that
most or all of these stables have gone
out of existence.
Now, the horse Is still here and
more numerous than one would at
first think. Especially in the months
from December to May inclusive, a
good deal of light driving and pretty
much all the heavy teaming is horse
driven and horse-drawn. Many
man comes to town from the country
or from the outskirts of the village
and wants a place where he can
stand in his horse. The lack of ac-
commodation once provided is a SER
ious matter
The village folks ought to consider
themselves bound to furnish accom-
modations of this kind at reasonable
rates. The Reporter is anxious to
help in this direction. In the first
place, let's find out what accommo-
dations are offered. Any stable
keeper, or any one else for that mat
ter. that can take in horses in this
way, will be given free publicity on
making the fact known to us. 1t
will be quite convenient of course If
we are advised in writing but we
will take the information in person
or over the telephone If that is the
way you prefer to give 1t.
Having found out what accommoda-
tons exist, we can then judge more
accurately whether or not more are
needed, We believe that facilities
in this line are not up to the demand.
