"Th e boys and girls and men and women itv the Decatur branch of the General Electric are the finest buoch of folks I have met anywhfere and y >u have a right to feel proud of them. They are making this -me of the finest little plants in all the country.” This was what Colonel E. Z.

Mich., Oct. 28, 1928 Tear Fath- nd Mother: This lett is tS' let you know con cerning the damage did Saturday night with the heavy frost. Much damage was done to the late corn, vegetable and vi/ie crop, as far as I have learned. The potato crop is good. Most of the potato crop was ripe, only just patches where they were planted very late. Os course the potatoes are 16rge and are not a loss. In the potato section they are selling from SI.OO to $1.50 a hundred pounds, and the crop is the largest known for years. Anyone saying that the Michigan potatoes are rottening must be seeing visions in their sleep, as we have not had rain enough to hurt anything until last week rain fell heavy all week, and if it had not. been for the frost would | have been O. K. The farmers are cutting corn now. The corn binders are all at work in order to save the feed for the stock Silo filling is in full swing. Most all he wheat is in and looks good. Hogs ind cattle are high. The fruit crop is heavy and good quality peaches are moving frsely. Elberta's selling I around $1.25. Kalamazoo peaches' $1.25, Gold Drops from $1.25 to $1.75 according to size, medium is $l5O, Polific $1.25. This is price paid to growers. You can buy as low as SI.OO a bushel. The later peaches I look for lower prices as the peach trees are bending do’x/i with the crop. ' Apples are plentiful and so are Was also an enormous plum crop.

Mr. Cole heard the signals of the station at 7 o’clock Sunday evening, De’atur time, and the operator of the foreign station stated that it was almo. t daylight there. As the signals travel through darkness and it was daylight between the two stations we«t from here, the signals must hav travelled east, making the distan covered by the signs! frptn the stations about 15,000 miles. — — —-Q——-Delco-L;. ht Dealers ' Mjet At Dayton, Ohio D.

11 months after the reorganization be- | cafae effective, dealers of the district ■sold better than 100 percent of their !! monthly quota. At that time. H. W. I Prior, sales manager of the Delco- > Light company, told members of the ■ district organization that it they con- ' tinued to sell 100 per cent of quota for an additional three months, or a total of 100 per cent of their quota for twelve consecutive months he would entertain them with a banquet and get-together meeting. This record has been accomplished only by the flue cooperation of all the Delco-Light ealers of the Dayton district and Mr. Lehrtian has played a very prominent part in its realization.

Radio Enables Artists To Make Large Salaries By William J Fagan (United Uress Staff Correspondent) New York (United Press) —That r .dio broadcasting is enabling artists to make money has been amply demonstrated by the recent action of Devora Nadworney, contralto, in secjiring her release from a contract with the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Miss Nadworney, who has achieved considerable prominence through hfr appearances as leading contralto of the WEAF Grand Opera Company, found that Chicago performances would necesarily mean abandonment of her singing Monday evenings in the WEAF operas broadcast through a net work of stations. Upon securing her release from the Chicago contract, she signed with the Philadelphia Civic Opera Company and the San Carlo forces, with the stipulation included that she would be free for Monday evening appearances at WEAF's studio. If a radio prophet had made a*prediction two years ago that an artist would be compelled to take radio broadcasting into consideration in entering into relation? with a nopera company of the prominence of the Chicago organization he would have been how'.ed down. But the world movds and radio broadcasting is fast following the path hewn by the motion picture when it started drawing from the legitimate 'tage its chois)>st attractions. 1 o Purdue Offers Special Farm Course This Fall Jfight weeks' course begins October 25, with ni»W lines of study planned.
