S. —Members of Ameri can Radio Relay League. Two Concord boys have a low powered government licensed radio 1 station and have been successful in < sending and receiving radio messages i fspm practically every state in the j i United States and from many* ether countries. . . j The boys are Harry Hitt and Rich ard White and their station is in , Jackson Park near the city. The young men report that being a mem- , ber of the American Radio Relay League a nation-wide association of amateur radio operators, that they | have been able to receive messages ■ from the state of Washington and other states in this country.. Canada is also a country that the local' sta- ' tion has sent messages to and' re-: ceived messages from, it was said. Messages have also been received from practically every country in the world with the exception of the countries I jn Aeia. The young men are now making < improvements in their station and an- ] nounced today that they hoped to be i able by fall to forward, absolutely j free of charge, messages to any part ( of the United States for the resi- < dents of Concord. This service will J be given through the co-operation of j i the stations who are members of the 1 1 the Relay League. One of the young men, ;n speaking || of the complaint that local radio fans i had made about some local station in terfering with their reception of mu sical programs, said that the complaint was a false one. “We wish to deny the report that our station is caus ing undue interference to the radio fans of the city. Our station is op erated on a very short wave length, 40 meters, and uses such very low power that no interference from it is possible,” he said. “If any person thinks he has any cause for complaint he may write the Radio Inspector, 409 Hass-Howell Building, Atlanta, Ga., or see us per sonally,” one of the operators of the set stated. “We have constructed our station carefully with the view of not interfering with any other form of radio service,” he said. Farmer Kerr and Hulda Sight a Fly ing Machine; Hulda Wants to Ride. Mooresville Eenterprise. Charley Kerr, an industrious farmer who lives several miles northwest of town and a son .of the late J. W, A. Kerr, has a mule that has gone plumb daffy over the airplane. Not many days ago Mr. Kerr .was plowing cotton and old Hulda was making him step quite lively until late in the evening, when she became more interested in an airplane that was passing over than she was in the task that had been set for her. When she first heard the roar of the machine her ears pricked up and she began a searching look, first around : about her, and finally“ locating the sputt.sputt in the air, she' squared herself in the rows and looked for a little while and then after back ing over a hundred feet or more of the field and getting sight of the flying beauty she started out after that air plane, and had she had wings, Mr. Kerr said, she very v likely would have followed it through to its destination. “Old Huldah,” said Mr. Kerr, “has’ turned a fool over the airplane. I j have had the animal ever since she i was two and one-half years old, and 1 she is now ranging around a quarter j of a century. When I first got hold < of her many years ago she would take j out after a bicycle, if one chanced to | pass, and follow it as far as she could < see it; and do you know, she ain’t at j all pleased with an automobile lately.'( She fairly detests the speeding things J and has an idea that it is her duty ( to keep pace with ’em.” However, ( Mr. Kerr will not part with the mule, J for she has been in the family so 1 many years until she is a fixture and! does a fairly good day’s work when \ ~not molested by flying machines, bi- j cycles and automobiles. * I^QOOOQ<XXX)O<X>OO<X>OQOOOOOQOOOOOQ<yyyx*QQ0 i 3Q<XX>000000O000000000{yy)0QQQ00000q SMART SUMMER FOOTWEARI THE NEW FOOTWEAR THAT FASHION has decreed to be correct for Summer is well represented in our Big ■ Assortment of Pretty Styles ]!| $0 PATENTS £2 | . - $9 WHITES gQ $5 | BLONDS jg $4 SATINS j | 1 $9 PUMPS jg I $5 STRAPS gg i J ALL NEW AND CRISP if PURCHASE YOUR SHOES HERE: G.
