RADIO BOON To
YOUNG SINGERS.

Radio offers wonderful oppor-
ttnity to serious students of voice
culture, according to May Peterson,
well known lyric soprano and con-
cert artist, formerly with the Metro
politan Opera Company, New York,
and the Opera Comique, Paris.
Miss Peterson says concert ana
opera stars are the hardest working
artists in the world, constantly
striving to improve their technique,
practicing daily and studying the
work of other singers. Whenever
opportunity affords these singers
who have already arrived may be
seen in the audiences at the opera
or concerts by leading artists of the
musical world, she says.
while the opportunity to hear
the truly great singers has hereto
fore been confined mostly to stu.
dents in the larger metropolitan
centers, the radio now affords OPP
portunity to students everywhere
to listen to the work of the mas
ters," declared Miss Peterson.
with the aid of a good receiving
set, it is possible for young singers
to study intonations, shadings.
phrasing and diction of the leading
singers, the breath control and
other seemingly simple but ex-
tremely important details that make
for the success of the musical
artist. The all star series of Sun
day night concerts is a great boon
to students of voice throughout the
United States"

NOTES ON INSTALLATION

Use copper wire. not smaller than

Do not run the wire along walls
or partitions.
The ground connection itself must
be of low resistance.
Use glass or porcelain insulators
including the lead-in insulator.
The fewer points in the system.

soldered.
Make the distance between set

as possible.

benefit from radio than any other
class.
This Is due largely to the COM
parative isolation. which makes en-.
tertainment programs more of
treat, and gives real money value
to weather and market reports.
Hence there is a large potential
market for radio outside of cities
and towns that has been little more
than touched.

Firemen'S Carnival Not Success
The report of the Firemen's Car
niVal held here last week is any
thing but favorable. In fact the net
proceeds will be less this year then
any previous year. The gross re-
cepits will reach approximately ST.
$50, and the firemen will realize less
then $500, which is very little re-
numeration for the time and effort
put forth. The firem men would prob
ably have come out on the wrong
side of the ledger had they not re-
ceived several cash donations and
organizations who served supper.
The local community to certain ex-
tent is opposed to carnivals ana
therefore do not support them fl
nancially. Then rain again interfer-
ed with the program on parade night
when one of the largest crowds ever
in Harrington was present. 1t seems
to be the opinion of most everyone
that the support of the Fire Com
pany should be raised by taxation
and do away with carnivals. Many
prominent citizens have expressed
themselves as favorable to this plan,
and it is very likely that something
will be done along this line as soon
as possible. A special meeting of the
company was held this week to elect
delegates to the State Convention to
be held at Rehoboth on September

The full natural sweetness of the
sweet potato develops only after a
period of storage, the sweetness be-
ing due primarily to the presence of
sucrose or cane sugar which is
formed during this period.
A. profitable way of marketing
farm timber is for the owner to cut
and haul the products to market
himself. This provides winter
employment for hired help and
teams, and enables the owner to OBJ
tain profits that would otherwise go
to the purchaser of standing timber.
To get iron rust stains from an

Painting at regular intervals is
the cheapest way to keep buildings

The building materials widely used
to-day, such as yellow pine, cast
iron, and the more common steels,
deteriorate rapidly on exposure, and

RECLAMATION
is DEFENDED
Jardine Charge Expected BY
Interior Department.
fSaS' - ~, ori. u, . '.s,,,,.

WASHINGTON, Aug. M.-Instead
of resenting remarks that Secretary
OF Agriculture Jardine has been
making against reclamation work
and irrigation farms. officials Of the
Department of the Interior say that
they expected them.
One official declared Secretary
Jardine was playing to the farmers
of the Middle West and East when
he said money should no longer be
spent in retaining arid lands.
Reclamation is not substituting
the irrigation farmer" said P. w.
Dent, acting reclamation commits
sioner. 1T is developing desert
lands so that they will produce
crops.
Irrigation farming is more ex-
pensive than ordinary farming and
those raising crops on reclamation
projects enjoy no advantages over
the farmsers of the Middle West and
East, who live on land made tillabls
by nature rather than artificial
means"
DR.. Hubert Work, Secretary Of In
terror, says the Interior Department
is not seeking to promote any new
reclamation projects, but is anxious
to complete those it has already
started. This completion work will
take ten years.
