WIRELESS MESSAGES
RECEIVED AT DEPORT
Deport is to be well known,
wirelessly speaking, if the plans
of school superintendent Ward
are carried out as he expects
them to be. Mr. Ward owns a
wireless telegraph telephone and
| expects to lave it rigged up
Siam for the purpose of npt only
receiving but sending messages.
This can be accomplished, ac-
cording to Mr. Ward, by con-
nection with a Delco plant nnd
“stepping up” the current to the
required voltage. Without this
current he has been using his
plant the past week to listen in
on whit is beirg projected thru
space by electric wave*. The
weather report, close of cotton
market and the doings of Dallas
police in their efforts to appre-
hend automobile thieves are
some of things one can learn f
he is acquainted with the Inter-
national code, composed of dots
and dashes, which is used in
wireless.
There are also two men in D -
port who are first class wireless
operators — Frank Tomlinson
who resides east of Deport, ano
Otis White, manager of Hudson
Davis Co. These men became
proficient in sending and receiv
ing wireless messages during
the war, having been trained at
Harvard University, and later
served aboard ship as operators.
If there is sufficient interest
shown in it by high schnt I
boys, Mr. Ward rnnv attempt to
instruct a class. Some of these
days there will be no telephone
nor ftdegraph wires, el »ctricity
provided by the great Construct-
or of tiie universe, being used
instead.

The
Clan Call
By Hapsburg Liebe
Located in one of those
feud sections of the South,
where one meets that odd-
ly blended blood of Puritan
and Cavalier; where God-
fearing men recognize few
laws excepting those of their
own making; where they
read the Bible, pray for their
enemies and then go forth
heavily armed prepared to
kill on sight; where the suf-
ferings of the women,
mother-love, wife-love and
sister-love are working a
change in code and grad-
ually subduing primitive
instincts.
One of the most fascinating
settings for romance and
adventure, it has been too
much neglected. Hapsburg
Liebe helps to supply the
deficiency with this charm-
ing story.

Saturday marked the eloae of
the ninth annual Red River
County Fair, hi many respects
one of the most successful and
profitable exhibits in the history
of the Fair Association. All en-
try records were broken, a tot-
al ot 1,300 separate entries hav-
ing been made in the various de-
partments. The prize list made
up by the Fair Association
amounted to several thousand
dollars, and in addition pinner-1
ous other prizes were offered by
individuals to stimulate interest
in the exhibit*.
Months of effort were put forth
by fair officials, the Chamber of
Commerce and the county agent
in makingitonli of the best county
fairs in the State. An unsually
wide awake community spirit,
which appi ars to have influenced
the most dominant interest of
the county's leading neighbor-
hoods, has been responsible for
the very keen interest manifest
ed in the agricultural and live I
stock exhibits at the 11121 fair.
Accommodations are to be pro-
vided next year fora larger num-
ber of live stock exhibit*. If the
present plans for the erection
>f a new exposition building are
'•arrieJ out the space for agricul-
tural, ciffiiuierctal and art exhib-
its will be increased considerably
and also the facilities for display
ing these exhibits. A building
is ako being considered for the
exclusive use of the poultry ex-
hibitors. hundreds of birds
were on exhibition this year and
many were denied entrance for
lack of space.
The Red River County Fair is
strictly a community organiza-
tion. There are no stockholders,
no salaried officers and every
dollar earned is converted into
some form of permanent im-
provement.
