THE RADIO OPPORTUNITY

Radio communication is not merely
one of the worlds greatest scientific
marvels, but it offers young people
very attractive industrial and COM
mercial opening. A few years ago it
was only a dream, but now it employs
100000 people.
There are 100000 radio sets in
the country, and 21,OO0,000 homes not
yet equipped. A big wide open field
of opportunity, to be reached by enter
prise and advertising.
OF $50 broadcasting stations in the
world, only 1859 are located outside our
own country. Vast populations are
possible buyers of American radio
goods.
Many boys who started out few
years ago with home made wireless
sets, have now blossomed out into
radio technical men or dealers.
Many parents found that by giving
an ingenious boy tools for his hands
to work with, his feet would tread
the paths of mischief less, and would
not wear out the curbstones so much
by idle loafing.
One can only guess at the future
of the radio age. The kids who once
ran for the streets as soon as they
had bolted their supper, are now try
ing to connect up with some distant
station. Lonely folks on the back
roads who have been longing for the
white lights, have now forgotten their
unrest as they listen to the bright
stuff over the ether spaces.
SIN it's lighter aspects it is the
worlds new toy, in more vital ones
a new kind of tool and voice. The
world feels as happy in using it as
primitive man did when he first
learned to talk. No wonder young
people are attracted to such field
of business opportunity.

The Worlds series baseball games
are now holding the attention of sport
followers. The battle this year is be-

counting. The first of the series was
played yesterday at Pittsburgh, the
Yanks winning by the narrow margin

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUs

by .. w. OlFAUS
President American Society for Thrift
Save one hundred dollars, then de-
eide whether you want to continue
in the practices of thrift
This advice was recently given by
a banker to a young couple who had
come to him for suggestions regarding
ways and means of practicing thrift.
The advice to forget everything
else, so to speak, and concentrate on
the saving of 500 was sound and
could well be accepted by any one
who today does not practice system
attic thrift.
The saving of 500 to many persons
may mean considerable effort of
economy. But after their nest-egg
has reached this amount, they begin
to reap the mental and financial ben
efits of their economy. They find
themselves stronger, and more easily
able to resist the temptation to fritz
ter away odd sums of money. Where
the practice previously seemed a hard
task, it now brings glow of enthusi-
asm and interest.
They begin to feel the joy of getting
ahead. They gain the sense of sta
bility and moral courage which was
not theirs before. They realize that
at last they are on the right road.
Persons who are leading thriftless
lives today should bear these thoughts
in mind. To deny ones self certain
pleasures and indulgences is not an
inviting prospect to them. They feel
that they should get the maximum
amount of pleasure out of life from
day to day, and the thought of knuck-
ling down to a more prosaic mode of
existence does not apepal to them.
But by the time 500 has made its
appearance in the columns of their
savings bank passbook, the practice
of thrift has become something of a
real pleasure and they go on accumu-
lating more and more while the JOY
of possession increases constantly.
Do not refrain from practicing thrift
because you feel that it will mean
hardship and privation. The first
few steps may be difficult. But after
that it becomes the greatest dividend

PROPAGANDIST AT WORK

Some weeks ago political letter
was sent out by G. B. Wollan who has
all the earmarks of a political hire
ling. 1t is called Capitol Letter"
and is of course for the purpose of
boosting the stock of those who pay
for it.
In this political letter it speaks of
a meeting that Senator Henrik Ship
stead was supposed to have addressed.
Under date of Sept. 20, 1927, Sen
ator Shipstead writes the American
from Minneapolis. as follows:
Ordinarily 1 do not attempt to
answer the misrepresentation of my
actions by propagandists but the en-
closed article is so particularly mali
cious that it is due to myself and the
newspaper editors who received it to
say that the first 1 heard of this
meeting was when this article was
called to my attention"
Following is the political letter pro-
duced under the pen of G. B. Wollan:
CAPITOL LETTER &c.
est. Paul, August 16.-Last week l
was guilty of 'poaching,' as it were,
upon the governors private domains
to the extent of some semi-serious,
semi-facetious comments upon the
political possibilities of certain kid
ney stones. I've been told since that
there was probably more truth than
poetry in the references made in
that connection.
BE that as it may, the comments
stand as made-at least until further
notice, together with the side COM
ments on the Importance, at times, of
so-called little things.
Furthermore, 1 believe it is up. to
somebody (why not yours truly?) to
call attention at this time to another
apparently little thing that may
have consequences far beyond present
belief
"a week ago-Tuesday of last
week, to be exact-Gov. Ted and Sen
ator Henrik Shipstead both spoke at
the Minnesota department convention
of the American Legion at Hibbing. I
had the opportunity and pleasure of
reading the governors speech in man
uscript in advance of its delivery
and it was brimful of patriotic senti-
ments, as might be expected on such
an occasion.
81 have every reason to believe
that Sen. Shipstead's talk was also of
patriotic nature-because when
Henrik is himself he is a truly loyal
and patriotic American, that is when
he isn't talking to an audience of NAL
contents, made so largely by his own
and others more or less irresponsible
diatribes against the bugaboo of cap
ital or 'entrenched wealth or Wall
Street or something like that.

gion at Hibbing he addressed Sacco-
Vanzetti protest meeting at Superior,
Wis.
Carrying water on both shoulders
is entirely too mild a simile for the
occasion.
Pm probably guilty of being old
fashioned in some of my notions of
what's in keeping with the dignity of
United States senator and what's to
be expected of the incumbent of that
high office. This, no doubt, accounts
for my inability to understand how
and why Henrik Shipstead could SO
play the chameleon act as he did last
week.
1T seems to me that these Red
inspired protest meetings on behalf
of two self-confesSed anarchists mere
ly mean, in the final analysis, subtle
attack upon our very form of govern
ment, upon the courts, upon the jury
system, upon the governor of a sister
commonwealth, upon the integrity
and justice of three of the most high
minded men of Massachusetts,.
"It's sad commentary on Amer,
icanism and all it stands for when an
archists and Red and communists the
world over can develop such influence
as it appears they have developed, on
the minds and hearts of American
citizens on behalf of two convicted
murderers.
why not the same hue and cry
on behalf of every other convicted
murderer in the country? Why single
out these two down in Massachusetts?
Why?

achievement-these must be added
to give goodness true value. Combined
