Mr. Everett Lynch, ( the author of this article, is well qualified to write of radio ama teurs and their work; for in his home town he operated an ama teur station of his own. The Pion eer is fortunate to be able to print an account of the work of these radio amateurs. There exists a branch of radio activity that is very little known to most people, but which played an extremely important role in the recent flood crisis in the north ' ern states. The phase of which 1 speak is amateur radio. Without the operation of hundreds of these stations, some of the flooded towns would not have been heard from at all for possibly a week. No one would have known how high the waters were, how many lives had been lost, how great the damage, or whether or not the people had food, Water, and light. Therp arp at- nrpspnt- in rhpl United States approximately 35,000 amateur stations licensed by the government. Thousands of opera tors, ranging in ages from twelve to sixty years, work at their sta tions as a hobby month after month and year after year, adding to, and perfecting, their equipment, keep ing pace with the newest develop ments in the field. In fact, many advancements in radio have their beginning in sohe amateur’s active mind. Not only do they serve the radio industry, but they are serv-l ants of the community in any cri sis, only too willing to work until they drop for the love of radio and their duty to their community. Organization in this field, as well as in any other, is necessary | for efficient operation. Active stations usually belong to one or ! more of !the three outstanding groups organized to this end. These are the American Radio Relay League, the Army Amateur Radio System, and the Naval Reserve System, the last two of which are sponsored by the U. S. government. In these, definite schedules are made and drills held in the matter of establishing contacts and ex cnangmg messages. 1 In almost any flooded city up north might have been seen groups of local amateurs gathered at the most powerful stations working in shifts to keep the otherwise isolated city in contact with the outside world. They realize that they are the only connecting link, for tele phone, telegraph, and teletype lines are severed, and roads and railroads all other relief workers, newspaper are impassable. Red Cross and men. and private individuals swamp the stations with work. A station runs twenty-four hours of the day, the operators taking very little food or sleep. In the case of power failures, which are common under the circumstances, the station must be operated from either batteries or from a gasoline-driven motor generator set, or both. Often high waters make it necessary to move the equipment by boat to higher ground. All this takes time but must be faced in many cases. '-T-'l . .• _ _* J ^.1__ J. Ut diaLJLVSxia V_J L* t. JIVJV Jiuv-nvn area are just as busy trying to es tablish contact with a station in an isolated communty. All are an xious to help. When once the contact is established, their job is just as strenuous as that of the group of which we just spoke. Re ports of the true conditions are sent out through them by the local officials to newspapers, to the Red Cross and other relief agencies, to travelers, to railroads and bus com panies. Weather reports are sent out, casualties reported, needs made known, and relief workers direct ed in their tasks. Where more equipment is hand, one of the op erators might go out and survey conditions for first hand informa tion, keeping in contact with the main station and reporting his finding by means of a five meter transceiver. Realizing the worth and im portance of the amateur radio sta tions, Pittsburgh during the em ergency kept in constant com munication with them through its short wave broadcast station, W8KX, which is ordinarily used only for putting KDKA’s regulai programs on the short wave chan nels. Amateur enthusiasts, then, give their all in one big moment of service and glory only to fade again into oblivion until another disaster calls forth their services. It should be a comfort, neverthe less, to the people of any com munity to know there are amateur stations ready to serve in case of need. "Q. R. R.” send aid at once. SNAKE ATTACKS MULE IN (FIELD! _ While plowing a team of mules, on the Joe Seawell old place one’ day last week, J. C. Eaton, a young farmer, witnessed an anusual sight. Plodding peacefully along through a stubble field, Mr. Eaton’s mules suddenly reared and bolted for dear life. At a loss to under stand the reason for their fright, doubt. A huge black snake had coiled itself about the foreleg of one mule, and was lashing the other animal with its long, keen tail. In their flight through the field, the mules ran over a stump. The singletree cf the mule carying the snake caught on this stump and snapped in twain, the traces thus suddenly released flying up and knocking the snake off. Freed of the terrorizing reptile, the mules were soon quieted, and Mr. Eaton proceeded to kill the snake. <He is at a loss to know what caused the snake to attack his mule, unless the reptile became angered as the animals stepped close to it in plowing through the stubble in which it lay concealed. The first Mr. Eaton saw of the reptile it was coiled about the "off” mule’s leg, lashing out at the mule in the "furrow”. Mr. Eaton’s father, who reported the strange occurrence to The Moore County News, admits that the story sounds unbelievable, but says that it is absolutely true. ■ . - . T~ JUUS IIPPIJT' y * Part of Mark Twain memorial, Hannibal, Me. j _ 4 j • „ i MARK TWAIN Samuel L. Clemens,, '' Mississippi pilot, printer and publisher, died on April 21,1910, he left Mark Twain, writer and humorist, behind him as a.per petual legacy to America and to world literature. His pen name is so closely associated with beloved classics like “Huckleberry Finn” and “Tom Sawyer” that his original name | is often forgotten even by those I to whom Ills writings are most ) familiar and dear. 1 Mark Twain was born on ' November 30, 1835, at Florida, M.ssuui 1, but his family moved to Hannibal in the same state when he was four years old. It is the latter town that is test remembered as his home and it is there that the center-nary of i his birth te. observed in Nov- I i -, ro-a [<art of the celebra tion s ti-.o erection of a beau tiful memorial statue, showing the author surrounded by bis best loved characters. The cen tral section of that statue, the work of Walter Russell, of New York, is shown above. Mark Twain’s early education was a most sketchy one. From his ’teens he had to earn his own living. It was a hard life but a fascinating one—as can be judged from Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, lads very much like himself. Ultimately he drifted into newspaper work in California and at 32 a San Francisco paper sent him on a tour of the Med iterranean. Out of this and other travels he wove his “Innocents Abroad.” His novels, striking ar new note in humor, prodding the foibles of humanity with devast ating laughter, were instantly popular, bringing him fortune and renown. He died at Redding, Conn., at the age of 75. (Copyrighted by Memorial Extension Commission, i I have been using Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills for thirty years. No matter what kind of pain I have, they stop it almost in stantly. Never without them in the house. ' Mrs. Chas. W. Webb, Indio, Calif. You’re The Loser WHEN you allow Headache, Neuralgia, Muscular, Rheumatic, Sciatic or Periodic Pains to keep you from work or pleasure. You can’t go places and do things when you are suffering—and the work or good times won’t wait for you. Why allow Pain to rob you of Health, Friends, Happiness, Money? DR. MILES ANTI-PAIN PILLS have been used for the relief of pain for more than forty years. They taste good, act quickly, do not upset the stomach, nor cause constipation, leave no dull, depressed feeling. Thousands have used them for twenty, thirty, forty years, and still find that nothing else relieves pain so promptly and effectively. Why don’t you try them? Once you know how pleasant they are to take, how quickly and effectively they relieve, you won’t want to go back to disagreeable, slow acting medi cines. < You too may find quick relief. Why wait forty minutes tor relief when Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills will relieve you in ten to twenty minutes? As a household remedy I have never found anything that equalled Dn Miles Anti-Pain Pills. Mrs. Silas D. Keller, Penfield, Pa. I never found anything that was so good to stop pain as Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills. I have told many about them and I find they are all using them.

To do! this, it must be shampooed often j with a liquid soap, softly waved and; brushed daily. It is brushing which! gives your hair those lovely high lights which are so important if you would have your hair always look ing beautifully groomed. Don’t be i afraid that brushing will remove your wave. It won’t at 11 if you1 use one of the new hir brushes with, widely speed bristles cut in a wave! like trim and especially designed not! to remove your wave. Learn to brush your hair correctly and you will be delighted with the glorious! lustre and shining cleanliness. Thej wide spacings of the brush will pick' up each strand and polish it from the roots opt to the very ends of 1 your hair. Start at the back of your ! head, and putting the brush on itsjj side, brush upwards and outward j using a vibrating movement (sort' of lightening streak effect) which ^ catches each hair so that you can 1 feel the tug at th roos as you do your brushing. Take strand by strand and masage each one in this' t manner. Wipe the brush on a towel! s as you go to keep it clean. j 1 A brushing a lay is a grand ! dry cleaning treatment for your 1 hair, which you may be sure it! t needs. You know your face col- i lects a good deal of grime daily as ( you can see by the appearance of 1 washcloth and tissues, and your hai! s is similarly affected. When you t brush your hair, you remove all the 1 dust particles which it accumulates, i and at the same time, the oil which i is brought out by the stimulation of 1 the glands, is distributed out on the c hair. Your scalp is massaged andii the hair polished so that the strands 1 gleam with life and lustre. c th X * t It’s no longer necessary for poor, frantic females to go wading through their purses from end to c snd before they finally find an in- c offensive little lipstick.

I -1 One of Country’s Largest Producers Describes Soil Building Methods Tobacco growers of this sec tion who include corn in their rotation will be interested in the cultural methods of W. J. Jacques of Prescott, Wis., one of the largest field seed corn growers of the country. Sam ples of his crop have just reached the offices of The American Agri cultural Chemical Company at Greensboro, N. C. Aside from the outstanding yields obtained by Mr. Jacques, as high as 106 bushels an acre, his methods built up soil fertility instead of sapping it. A 7 5-bushel per acre corn crop takes 70 pounds of nitrogen, 30 pounds of phosphate and 20 pounds of potash from the soil. Farming methods in this section provide only soda, or nitrogen, to replace the plant foods used up by the corn crop, thus leaving the soil in less fertile condition for tobacco, a heavy feeder on phosphate and potash. Obvi ously, a balanced fertilizer such as 3-12-6, which costs no more than soda, will produce more and better corn and will build up the soil for a following tobacco crop. Mr. Jacques has been growing seed corn all his life, and has shipped to South America, South Africa and India. Most of his 20 000 bushel crop was fertilized with Agrico for Corn, and came through successfully in spite of one of the most disastrous “soft corn” years in the Corn Belt. “On a 100-acre field of corn grown last season with Agrico,” Mr. Jacques writes, “the yielc. averaged 80 bushels of seed corn. The quality was so good that less William ff. Jacques, of Prescott, Wls.9 one of America’s largest seed corn growers• th; n one-half percent of the corn as harvested out of the field was unfit for seed. Seventeen consecu tive hills harvested 57 perfect seed ears and only one nubbin. The corn from the seventeen hills yielded at the rate of 106 bushels per acre, figuring 77 pounds of corn to the bushel. “We have found that this fer tilizer reduces moisture content of seed corn by about 10 per cent. We insist that all our op erators use Agrico because the difference in the quality of the corn alone pays for the cost of , the fertilizer.” Nervous, Weak Womaa Soon Ail Right “I had regular shaking spells from nervousness,” writes Mrs. Oora San ders, of Paragould, Ark. "I was all run-down and cramped at my time until I would have to go to bed. After tny first bottle of Cardul, I was bet ter. I kept taking Cardul and soon [ was all right.
