Negotiations over a period of
months by the Universal Pictures
Corporation for the purchase of
the motion picture rights to
Broadway were concluded at
a pyiee said to be more than
$4,000.

Harris, producer of Broadway"
communicated by radiophone with
the president of the corporation,
Carl Laemmle, now at the Savoy
Hotel in London. Atmospheric
conditions rendered the converse
ton as audible to both parties as
though only mile instead Of an
ocean separated them. Mr..
Laemmle's approval of the pur.
chase brought 1t to a close.
This IL believed to be the first
time the radiophone has been
put to such use by the motion
picture business. and is definitely
the first. time the transatlantic
photoradio has ever been used to
transmit q contract for signature.
In this case, photoradio was
called upon for the first time in
history to transmit a legal con-
tract. For, in order to have the
president Of the company sign
this most important contract of
sale in the history OF the COM
pany, it was necessary to have
the Radio Corporation Of America

Save the Lamb Crop

At this season your ewes will be
dropping lambs until the latter part Of
February.
Particular care should be given the
ewes just before the lambs are dropped
and until the lambs are five or six days
old. The ewes should be kept \ a
dry place and separate from the othc'
sheep if possible. In case the new
born lamb should happen to get ''!ll
ed, It should be carried to the hol
and placed in a tub of warm water
(but not hot enough to burn) for
few minutes, then dried off good and
placed by the fire for short time
When the lamb is sufficiently strong II
should be placed back with its mother
and assisted in sucking.
1t should be remembered that the
profit comes from the lambs whir'
might have been lost without a little
extra care and attention at the time
of birth. Every lamb saved now II
properly cared for should bring the
grower from $500 to $1,000 on ut
