Soma very fine sermon have been re
cently heard at oar station. Recently
we heard the entire servii-e of the. .First
Baptist church of Charlotte, senium by
Dr. Luther Little, broadcasted from
station WBT. Almost every word of
the speaker could be plainly heard.
KDKA is giving services of the
Calvary Episcopal Church, Pittsburgh
and Rev. Van Ettou'a voice is getting
quite familiar.
Wesley - Memorial church, Atlanta,
Ga., has been coming in strong rtf Lite.

RADIO COMING IN CLEARER
One of the most distinct stations,
which we have been picking up is the
General Electric Co.. station WQY at
Cehrneetady, N. Y. This station has
been favoring the "iu visible audiences"
this spring and summer with the high
est class of entertainment from grand
oNra to rag time orchestras.
Have you "radio bugs" been listen
ing in on WIIAH around 9:30 p. ut.f
They have' been coming in like a
Iiouhp afire' and it certainly sounds
good to hear the Elue Grass Orchestra"
come put on those Kentucky melodies.
He vera I of the boys orouud town
have been picking up stations as far
away as WBZ, Springfield, Mae., and
WDAF, Kansas City which is pretty
fair reception, especially considering
the interference we liave had this sum
mer. ' .
You have to hand it to KDKA for

there is absolutely no need of close

One advantage about hearing a lec
ture over radio. If you don t like
what the- lecturer l handing out, . you
don't ' feel duty bound to hear .it 'all.
Yon dont have to slip 'out the. back
door as it were hut just time in some
other station that is sending songi or
baud music, and there are plenty 'ut
stations Jn the air now.
Our worthy contemporary,' The At
lanta Journal, recently made the state
ment that WSB had been beard in 44
states of the union. This seems to be
nbout the best record made so far for
long distance reception. "The Voics

RADIO APPLAUSE
Every singer or artist who jives a
performance expects applause from his
audience and the applause or lack of
same reacts accordingly upon the per
former. But with the Radio performer at the
broadcasting station there is no Ap
plause either visible or audible. The
artists performs before the microphone
ia a small room where silence is the
rule. Ilia most magnificent produc
tions are met with cruel silence whica
gives him no sign of sweets or failure.
. Fortunately, the great artist ia gift
ed with the attribute f a fertile
imagination, and in absence of visible
sign he sees across vast distance, Utile

2,500 bales of cotton were received Sat
urday by the North Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association, accord

wh ostated today that receipts are climb

The prevalence of dry weather over the
cotton belt haa delayed deliveries by Jiuni
mers of the Association, said Mr. Blalock,
as the premium on good cotton made it
worth their while to get it out before the
cqquinoctial rains, and they did not stop
to get it ginned.
Oood grades of cotton are coming in
as general thing, according to B. F.
Brown, manager of the cotton depart
ment, who is giving special attention to
this end of the business. Some- long
staple has been received and this will be
collected and sold to mills needing that
kind of cotton..
North Carolina mills have shown a very
hospitable pirit toward the cooperatives,

to the leading textile centers to learn
something of the needs of the mills. ,

connections' for the cooperatives in New
England and in New York as well as in

The Association ia prepared to handle
cotton on which there are mortgages and

being centered this week oa acquainting
the public with 'this fact. Practically
all the banks and many hundreds of mer
