EXTENDING RADIO SERVICE. ' "Broadcasting stations W'.l'A and ' W.IY, operated by the Radio Corpora tion in New York, and station WRC. .operated in Washington, have been permanently connected with leased wires so that events occurring in Washington, New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia may now be broad cast simultaneously from these sta tions. The above mentioned stations are also connected by wire with WVZ. ; General Electric station at Schenec tady. This wire system has been I supplemented from time to time by the use of short-wave radio transmis sion from WGY and KUKA, the 1 Pittsburgh broadcast station of the . Westinghouse Electric and Manufac turing company. Wire connections between the Radio Corporation's New York station and the Westing house station KDKA, at Pittsburgh, and through there to Chicago, are planned for 102."i. This will permit ' simultaneous rendition of programs fiom Washington. New York C.ty, Schenectady, Pittsburgh and Chicago, , reaching a population of perhaps 70. Oilii.U'O people."

Ronton Plalock, son of Slaidy and now manager of the North Carolina Cotton Growers' as sociation, with all of its appendages, told the Lions of Albemarle last J Thursday evening that he would not j have his remarks clashed as a speech I nor address. Plain talk is what our ! Benton called it, and it was a talk full of good facts. j Mr. Blalock was called to the work when it was new to him and new to ; the state. In this he was a pioneer. He laid his own plans and waged his j own campaigns. Money was : main problem at first; but this ' the easiest solved of nil. The sponsibilities are mountain high I he would gladly resign today if i other could be found to assume tin was au the work. I In h!s review of the work and ac complishments, Mr. Blalock showed a profound knowledge of the farmer and farm conditions. Co-operative marketing means so much to the farmer, who has not himself been , made t'o see the great benefits. Now when cotton is bringing a good price, the ni ed of organization is necessary. But this is more true when colt.. p. faces a market which is be:uw the actual c-i.-t of production. In this the speaker explains h w needful it is for the farmer to get his money in stead;. proportions not a!! at one time. And of how keeping the bulk of cotton oil' the market at times of temporary nida tion, when the inevitable result is to glut the market and lower prices. His speech was well received, and was a good forerunner, of the cam-' paign for membership in this county. Several farmers were guests of the club for luncheon, anil they were loud in their applause of Mr. Blalock's speech. Among the guests were Messrs. W. I T. Crowell, L. t). Ritchie, Ernest Ritchie, Henderson Rogers. M. I), j Brooks. W. H. Love, Jason Whitley, Prof. II. D. Green, James Love,' Charles Lefler, F. E. Ross, Rev. G. Ci. Adams, G. D. Blalock, Q. E. C. Coble, M. II. Morton, Fisher Ilendley, Prince Furr and his small tiddlers, j and Frank Marhry. Mr. Ilendley and J the Furr family gave several inter-, esting musical selections. The I. ions recently took steps look-1 ing to the musical education of Mr. j Fun's boys, who display such decided talent for the violin. The club is in-. tore, ted in getting Mr. ilendley listed ! as ne of the artists at Pittsburgh for broadcasting. A committee was appointed to further these aims. ' Rev. (. C. Davis, C. A. Reap, L. M. McEwcn, and II. M. Laudeman were appointed as delegates to the international association in June. ii'f v I i.. i A '-' KV; '"J hOMMR ! '. E. MASK Lirtct .r Fie d Service N. C. Cctt n C v '.. c r c.

A large audience greeted the Le-noir-Rhyne College glee club at iU performance in the graded school au ditorium Tuesday evening'. As outlined in our last issue, the club rendered a comic opera. "In Old Louisiana." Miss Myrtle Cooper in the role of Rose, Pilot Farley's adopt ed daughter, was charming and was a favorite with the house all tbroueh. Samuel Sox, who is a brother of Miss Rosa Sox, teacher in our local school the past year, stood out boldly in his role of Pilot Farley and owner of the Sans Souci plantation. lie has a good voice, and his numbers were all applauded. Another outstanding char acter was .Mr. Albert Miller as Rich ard St. John, a young sugar planter. The opera abounded in fine musi cal numbers, and had a vary inter '. esting love story running through it. The following composed a chorus of southern planters, their wives, daughters. and sweethearts. and made a popular feature of the eve ning : Jaunita Roland, I.ueretia Fritz, Frankie Huffman, Katln-rine Icard. Ruby Lent., Frank Upe, Mary Ellen Muiidy, Allie Mundy, Blake Moose, Ruth Potter, Grace Propst. Ava Ru disill, I'rvte Rudisill, Joyce Rudisill, Miles Rhvtio, Dorothy Robinson. .Myrtle Ro.-eman, Blanche Smyie, Katherine Trout man. It was one of the most pleasing entertainments ever offered in Albe marle, and as the members of the club weie guests of Lutheran families and the:r friends, Albemarle felt hon ored in being host to this crowd of jolly rovers. SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS PARTY. Last Thursday evening the mem bers of the Wilson Wesley Bible class of Central Methodist church were entertained by .Miss Mabel Den ning in her charming home, imme diately upon arrival the guests were served coca-cola and sandwiches, aft er which a number of interesting out door games were played. Afterwards all went inside, where Miss Denning favored them with a number of piano solos. Also several piano and vocal solos weie given by Miss Nina Cran ford, as was the recitation with which she won the prize at Guilford college. .Afterwards Miss Denning served ice cream and cake.

The Little will case has l.en a long fought one, and a conservative estimate of the cost of the trial is placid at $:!!, lino or more. A com promise was finally effected in which the family of the iate R. E. Little, of Wadesboro, receives the entire estate left by Mr. Little at his death, and pays to the Anson Sanatorium the sum of $,")2,r00. Each side to the contention pays its own attorney fees and court costs. R. L. Smith. Esq., of Albemarle, was attorney for the bank, named in the will as executor. The final settlement of the estate ap proximating a half million dollars is said to be satisfactory to all parties, and represents about an equal, as well as an equitable distribution of the estate. The efforts to set the will aside proved unsuccessful in the attempt to show that Mr. Little was not of sound mind, and that he was incapable of making a will at the time the paper was made. Under one estimate, the hospital has received $.'! i;i,000 through the will. RIDGECREST SCHOOL. I Closing exercises will be held at Ridgecrest school next Monday and ' Tuesday. On Monday, Hon. C. D.
