The girl is being held as an ac

Seated in her own home, Mrs.

heard the rendition of a violin
solo. "The Beautiful Use of
Somewhere," In 1'ittsburg, over
a thousand miles away, through
the receiver of a wireless tele

Stack, who is a skilled elec

she been seated In the audience

Mr. Stack's wonderful instru

but when adjustments are made,
and the delicate receiver is tuned
to other outfits over the coun

able to hear distinctly bands

important news events as they

Some time ago we stopped over

been at work three days, and had
gone down about six inches, after
putting off several shots in what he
tald was the "hardest rock he ever
tackled." Other men had worked as

While we were lounging around

The Cost of YVe.ttern Hay.

car load ot hay for $124.00 and when
the shipment arrived, the freight was
1103.00. making the total cost $427.
The cost per ton. Including freight,
was a fraction over $34. The dealer
sold It in ton lots at $28. In less
than ton lots he sold it at $40. The
users of this hay paid approximately
two dollars per hundred pounds for
It; the producer of it probably got
