Spring Pigs Look Good
BY {. ii. BLAkELN.

Douglas and Sarpy counties have
their seeding well under way. The
dry weather in March put the soil
] in good shape and farmers have been
taking advantage of this situation.
Last week. in company with f. G.
Maxwell, county agricultural agent
for Douglas county, the coy editor
as the city desk has dubbed US. took
trip over the two counties. We
saw Sarpy county farmers finishing
up oats seeding. At the rln Of Phil
Frazier near Fort Crook we learned
that over so per cent of the seeding
had been completed. Frazier said the
neighborhood would finish up within
j week. II weather remained favor
able.

San Antonio playground. And it is
to be done at a small cost.
Daily tons of dirt are swept from
San Antonio's paved streets. 1t is
rich, fertile soil. This, Commissioner
Lambert decided, would be splendid
for the growing trees, grass and shrub
berry such as are necessary for the
building of a park.
So he has arranged to have the
street sweepings hauled and dumped on
the tract to fill up the great gaping
holes remaining where the rubbish wss
burned. Only the street sweepings and
dirt excavated for buildings, the park
commissioner said, will be used. Garb-
age dumping will not be allowed.
Several years, Commissioner Lam.
bert figures, will be required to bring
the park up to San Antonio's stand
ard. Young trees must be planted. a
water system installed and the ground
sodded. But it can be opened to the
public much sooner.

San Antonio offers one of the best

Because property in this city is I'M

initiation as in many large cities, and
because San Antonio is "underbuilt,"
investments can be made here with an
assurance of good profits.
This is disclosed by a survey made
recently by the Masazine of Wall

cisl and investment matters. The sur

public within few months.
The old dumping ground, long a
thorn in the side of San Antonio, was
abandoned when the city built its four
incinerators. Since that time Com.

on a plan to beautify the property as
park.

the door. And the custom Is gaming
popularity daily.
An insight into the psychology of
the custom which makes it good taste
to present a man with a hat is gained
by an interview with Frank A. Huck
Jr., one of San Antonio's popular hat
statesmen.
The custom of giving man a hat
probably originated in Europe several
hundred years ago, when different
classes of people from the nobility on
down wore a hat which always signi-
fled their rank" Mr.. Huck said.
GOOD EJECT.
But continuance of the custom to
the present day is accounted for by
the fact that a hat is costly enough
to be appreciated, yet not so expen-
sive that it will dig too much of hole
in the donors pocketbook.
"a hat also has a good psychology
cal effect upon the recipient, for man
with a new hat always has a spright-
lier feeling than when he is wearing an
old headgear. If you were to give a
man some shirts. half dozen suits of
underwear, or several pairs of socks
in token of appreciation for a favor,
his nature is such that he might be-
come offended.
HE would think: my appearance
surely must be terrible, if my friends
have taken to giving me small arti'
Giles of clothing, and would appreciate
the gift less as a result. With hat
it is different. No matter how many
a man has. a new hat is always a
welcome addition TO his wardrobe
neither will offense be taken because
of the small number which he might
own"
Mr.. Huck said that statesmen who
order a hat for a friend who sent in
the name Of a prospect, are the most
frequent donors. Often the donor
wishes his name to be unmentionedr
but most of the time the man receiv'
ing the hat has a pretty good idea
from whom it is coming, Mr.. Hucs
said.

MANUFACTURER SEES
BROADCAST MOVIES
AS FUTURE FEATURE

Broadcasting of motion pictures will
be the next outstanding advance in the
field OF wireless communication, At
water Kent of Philadelphia, member
of Secretary Hoover's committee on
broadcasting, believes. ...
Declaring he has been intensely in
terested in the recent transmission OF
motion pictures by radio across the
city of Washington, and their projec-
ton on miniature screen. Kent said
he anticipates the time when radio
movies" will be shown as clearly and
as large as canned pictures now
thrown on theater screens. He added !:
when it is remembered that radio
broadcasting stations and broadcastins
words, and music of whole vaudeville
shows and operas are achievements of
the last ten years. perfection of radio
motion pictures during the next few
years seems goal likely to be at
tanned.
Recent success in radio vision ex-
periments indicate that by 1885. and
perhaps oven sooner. We can sit at
home. and watch the playing of n
championship baseball series, projected
on radio picture screen.
Possibilities of such apparatus are
unlimited. Inauguration of the Presi-
dent, maneuvers of battleships, horse
races, and football games could all be
witnessed by persons all over the ma
ton at the time they happened, for
waves carry the pictures across the
continent in less than a second.
Cost of a radio vision machine for
the home is only matter of specula-
ton yet, but it seems that it could be
made as accessible as high-powered
sound receiving sets now on the mar
ket."

NOTED RADIO ORGANISE
IS TOTALLY BLIND

One of the best-known organists in
the country is William Metcalf, IA
miliarly known to radio listeners as
Cleveland's blind organist. For over
a year he has been entertaining the
radio public through station WTAM
of the Willard Storage Battery Com
pany. playing at the console Of Clevc-
lands great public auditorium organ
As so often is the case with people
who are blind. Mr.. Metcalf has been
able to rise to eminence in a field
which would seem to necessitate the
use of two very good eyes. But he has
turned his affliction into an advantage
in his organ playing, for he plays Sc
lections in an individual way, often
with variations extremely pleasing t.
the ear. adding much to the melody
Of the piece.
William Metcalf plays by ear. He
listens to the playing of a selection,
memories it, then sits down and plays
it in his own individual way.
His speciality is motion picture
theater organ work. When he. is re-
hearsing music for a movie, his wife
sits by his side and reads the sub
titles aloud. keeping him informed OF
the plot Of the story.
