State officials in preserving the flags
carried by the regiment in the Civil

who when shot down, hid the flag un-
der his body to keep the enemy from
obtaining it. Officers elected by the
convention are: John B. Walls, a ma
tive Smyrnian now living at Cornwall,
Pa, president; w. G. Raymond, vice
president; Mrs. Emma Hobbs, secre-
tary and M. B. Hobbs and w. G. Ray

$4,000 of insurance and the cannery,
valued at $1,000 was covered with a
$1,000 policy. If the fire had occur
red three weeks sooner Mr.. Cooper
stated that his loss would have been
$4,000 greater than it was. Only a

COLD STORAGE GRAPES KEEP
Growers See in Experiment a Plan
That Will Change Marketing


That the placing of grapes in a cold
storage warehouse may completely
change the system of marketing the
grapes grown in Kent county, is pre-
dicted as the result of some expert
menting done this year. The results
of these experiments are being watch
ed by large number of grape grow
ers. During the past season when
grapes were selling at from fifty to
fifty-five cents a basket, several grow
ers placed a large number of baskets
in the new storage warehouse of the
Dover Cold Storage and Warehouse
Co. These grapes have been watched
carefully since they were placed in
storage and an examination this week
revealed them to be in as good condi
ton as when they were first placed in
storage. Some have been sold recent
ly at prices ranging from ninety cents
to one dollar a basket.

TRYING ONE OUT

All told, counting the lead-in (as
you should always do) we were
operating on seventy-fve feet of
aerial. That would be classed as a
short aerial.
Before plugging in the ear phones
and turning up the rheOstats /
looked over the battery wiring and
suggested to Smith that he make
this inspection now and again,
since it is easy to damage tubes by
mistakes in the connections Radio

every set is plainly marked for wir-

months of 1925 showed an improve
ment over conditions of records
for any period during the past five
years, reports compiled recently at
Washington showed. Health con-
ditions were reported to be gener-
ally good this year with a decided
decrease shown in many diseases
including diptheria.
Unusual prevalence of infantile
paralysis was shown, however, es-
pecially during July and August, as
was the cose with typhoid fever.
Thirty-two states recorded 1,463
cases of infantile paralysis during
these two months which number
was an increase of more than half
over figures of thes year before.

You could tell by the lights burn
ing in Smiths living room that he
twas busy tuning in on his own
radio set for the first time. Patti
emily | waited for him to invite me
over to hear Madrid, but he hadn't
reached that stage yet. / suspected
that there was something wrong
and took it upon myself to butt in.
Cant seem to get much but
static" he announced. Il must
have picked a poor set"
"Just poor management" l re-
torted. First place you've made
the mistake of going to a fy-by-
night radio dealer instead of to an
established concern where you can
get service. They've sent you a
loop aerial and a set that won't
work satisfactorily with it. Even
if the two would work together you
are forgetting to point the loop in
the direction of the station you
want to hear"
Smiths hopes dropped. Like all
radio fans he wanted immediate re-
suits. 1t wasn't so much the fact
that he hadn't received good ser
vice but that he might have to wait
another night before getting his
first thrill.
Don't let this bother you," l
cheered him. well string up
temporary aerial between your
house and mine and see what re-
suits we can get. I've got the wire
and it will take only few minutes
to stretch it between our third
story windows"
"That sounds we'll enough" he
replied, ''but they told me I'd need
a loop aerial because an outside
one would interfere with yours"
'That shows you why you should
go to dealer who knows what he's
doing. My antenna runs back to
that pole in the backyard. All we
have to do is string yours at right
angles to it."
That settled, 1t was simple mat
ter to string up the temporary aer-
ial, being careful to insulate the
ends and to bring the lead wire
down so as not to touch the house.
Down near where we wanted to
bring it in through the living room
window we attached a piece of
heavy insulated wire, running this
straight to the machine.
''This is not in accordance with
fire regulations" 1 explained "But
for a temporary hook-up at this
season of the year there should be
no objections. But when you get
into this thing permanently you'll
want a permanent earial to be used
all year round. You'll need a light
ming arrester then, of course"
Smiths set had two earial at
tachments, one for short antenna
another for long one. I told him
that it was a matter of trial as to
which one would be most suitable
for the length earial we were using.
