DROUGHT MAY COST OHIO
 FARMERS MANY MILLIONS
Higher Prices Believed Inevitable as Lack of Rain Brings On
 Problem.

Cleveland. July 31 P-With mil lions of dollars worth of farm crops at stake, Ohio is facing heavy losses if the drought of the last three months continues, a survey of the state showed today.
 Less than "A inch of rain fell in the Cleveland area during July, where normal is 3.35. May and June also were far below normal, and the southern part of the state has suffered more from lack of rain than the northern portion.
 Production of dairy products has been impaired seriously and higher prices of milk and butter are pre- dicted for the near future. Wells and streams on many farms are dry, and in numerous cases, farmers have been forced to glut the markets with cattle, sheep and hogs for butchering at low prices.

TRACES BIRTH;
FINDS HE'S HEIR
Man Discovers $325,000
Estate May Be His.

BIZ United Press
PENNINGTON, N. j., Sept. o.
A Baltimore business man, "a,
adopted in childhood by foster par
ents, today seemed the most likely
heir to the $325,OO estate Of the late
William Emery.
He is James E. Nicholson Jr.,
head of the awning, tent and flag
concern that bears his name in
Baltimore. On being informed that
he was not the real son of the Mich
olsons, he investigated and learned
he was the son of Florence Emery,
daughter of the Emery for whose
estate heirs are now being sought.
Florence Emery was married Sc
cretly in 1895 to Francis F. Georger
of Brooklyn. They assumed the
name of Gray and went to Washing
ton to live. There a child was born
to the couple and promptly placed
in a founding home. This child
was adopted by the Nicholsons.

Timely Idea
Cathedral Clock to Be
Largest, Most Noted
in World.

BIZ United Press
NEESSINA. Italy, Sept. o.
AVA The worlds largest and
most complicated clock soon will
be erected in the belfry of the
cathedral here. 1t will surpass all
other clocks, including even the
famous one OF StrasSburg for the
originality of the movements and
the variety of it's signals.
Among the features of thi
great clock, which is to be built
by an Alsatian firm. are a cock
which crows at dawn, midday
and sunset, an ornamental lion
that wags its tail at midday,
opens its mouth and emits a
series of roarS.
Two traditional figures of Mes
sina folk lore, Dina and Claren-
"a, appear every quarter of an
hour and strike the clocks bell.
At the hours, Death reaps in the
time with a sickle, and then dis
appears behind a door.
The clock will tell the days of
the week with a NEUROLOGICAL
figure appearing for each one.
Thus Apollo guards the clock on
Sundays, the moon on Mondays,
Mars on Tuesdays, Mercury on
Wednesdays, Jupiter on Thurs
days, Venus on Friday and Saturn
on Saturdays.

KWKH POWER
INCREASE PLEA
OF HENDERSON
Shreveport Station Owner
Charges Attempt to
Silence Him.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Wil-
liam K. Henderson, known as "the
doggone man of radio" charged in
a federal radio commission hearing
today that other stations were at
tempting to keep his station, KWKH,
at Shreveport, La, off the air.
Henderson testified in hearing
presided over by Examiner E. w
Pratt in connection with his appli
cation for unlimited use Of the $50
kilocycle wave-length which he now
shares with station WWL of Loyola
university, New Orleans.
Just prior to Henderson's appear
ance today Pratt heard the applica-
ton of w. H. Calender of Dead
wood, S. D., who wants to build
station for daytime use on the $50
kilocycle wave-length.
Power Increase Asked
Henderson also asked that his
power be increased to 10000 watts
Our whisper would become louo
speaking if we were permitted to
use the power we have asked for,
Henderson said.
81 have asked for the power to
reach the people in order that !
might further expose the dishonest
methods of chain stores. Any COM
munity without brains enough to
keep their profits at home is
doomed.
ut has been proved that other
stations are trying to keep KWKH
from being heard. A small station
Of not even ten watts in South Da-
kota would destroy reception of a
300O0-watt station in Shreveport. "
Applicants Heard.
In another hearing today appli-
cants for $4,000 watts power in the
second zone began arguing their
cases before the commission. Sta
ton WWJ, Detroit, was first and
will be followed by stations WHAS,
Louisville, KY, and WCAU, Phila-
delphia.
There are already three $4,000
watts stations using cleared chan
nelS in second zone, which leaves
only one cleared channel for adj
idtional $4,000 watt broadcasting
under the commissions ruling
limiting such cleared channels to
four in each channel.

OREGON PRISON IS TO
BE SELF SUPPORTED
Industries Will Not Compete With
Outside Commerce.

bN CNifeN HTeSS
SALEM, Ore, Sept. 22.-Oregon
prison officials plan to make this
state penitentiary the only institu-
ton of its kind in the United States
that is entirely self-supported by
industries not competing with free
labor or outside commerce.
The principal industry at this
prison is processing of flax. Virtu-
ally all the fax growers in the fer
tile Willamette valley of Oregon,
where grows the only long fiber
fax in the United States, have con-
tracted to sell their crops to the
prison where it is threshed for seed,
retted and scutched by hundreds of
toHing conyicts, making the linen
fiber which is sold to finishing
plants in this and other countries.
The convicts thus employed are
given a fair days wage.
The prison flax plant is expected
to reach its objective in 1888 when
the plant will be turning out 1000
tons of fiber valued at more than
100000 and 100000 worth Of seed.
When this is accomplished, not only
will the institution be self-support-
ing but surplus may be carried for
ward each year to take care of other
requirements.

black background done with "sides"

for the orchestra that did not try
TO compete with Handel, Schubert

This gentleman has much TO do
with English's this season. The con-

point of complete control. The reg

be so worried about an individual

not brilliant during a number.
Rather like the idea around a
family fireplace. The audience re-
manned the audience. The orchestra
always the orchestra. 1 want to give
credit that the general idea of au-
ditorium lights were properly
handled.
Now for the orchestra. Now you
know by this time that am telling
you about the Detroit Symphony or
