heroj has reconstructed the radio set
with which ho says he is ablo to pick
tip conversations within a half mile
radlus.but ho is going to keep it wall
hidden until after Christmas when
ho will carry It to Washington ho
told newspapermen today. At Wash-
ington ho will turn the set over to
the federal government since it
"might be of value to the military
intelligence division of tho govern-
ment" Young startled the world In general
and radio fans In particular recently
when he announced that by means of
a sot which he made himself and had)
nccldently misconstructcd ho could
distinctly hear his neighbors talking
in their family councils. When news-
paper men hurriedly investigated
however they found the set had been
dismantled.
The set as reconstructed works per-
fectly Young said today but he
thinks "the thing would be a nuisance
in a peaceful community." Such i
dangerous "contraption ho avers
should be in the government's hands
and no whore else.

ITH 1926 drawing rapidly to a close we
can look back over its twelve months as
they have passed in this community and
we find in them much that we will wish to
remember and but very little we will want to forget.
The Christmas season of 1926 brings to us a record
of twelve months of community peace of community
good will of community prosperity and an increased
community hope for the dawning year of 1927.
During 1926 we have enjoyed our neighbors our
friends; we have laughed with them in their houre
of merriment and we have grieved with them in
their bereavements and consoled them as best we
might. This is as it should be. It is such things that
the spirit of Christmas teaches us. It is the lesson
brought to us by the Man of Gallilee nineteen hun-
dred and twenty-six years ago.
During 1926 we have grown better individually
and collectively; we have evinced a greater degree
of tolerance of human kindness of love and
faith than in any previous year and this is but an
evidence of the increasing betterment of the race.
With a backward glance over the. records of 1926
we find every good reason for believing this Christ-
mas season is to be the best we have ever enjoyed.
We know that those blessings faith hope love
peace that were brought to the race with the dawn
of the Christian era are with us today in greater
degree than ever before. We know we will receive
a greater number of hearty Christmas greetings a
greater number of friendly smiles and what comes
to us will come to each and every individual in our
community including our Merry Christmas to each
and every one. the Publishers
Austin Dec. 21. In n letter to Lea
Satterwhito speaker of tho house of
tho Thirty-Ninth legislature and chair
man of tho house investigating com-
mltceo S. B. Moore consulting engi-
neer on research for trie Texas high-
way commission states that only
$224122.19 has been spent on tho
Tomple-Belton "invisible road."
The cost of paving; cost less than
$27000 per mile Mr. Mpore's letter
mado public hero today said. Brldg-
esy underpasses grading fences
maintenance suspense and other ex- -ponscs
mado the project cost $224-
122 according to the itemised state-
ment in tHe letter;
Mr. Moore points out in his letter
that tho $700000 spent in Bell coun-
ty for maintenance- Included the Tem-ple-Bolton
project and tho Temple-
Rosebud project costing $187286.20
and that two years. Of maintenance
51 miles of double asphalt surfacing .
and many miles of gravel surfacing
nrc included in the total amount
spent. k
The letter criticizes the report madoj"
by Mr. Satterwhito to newspapers fol-
lowing n visit to the Bell County
roads by the house committee. The
chairman reported that part of tho
road was impassable.
"Your statement fails to. mention
the fact that tho Temple-Rosebud
road is nowly- gradbd and is still un-
suurfaced yet one would suppose from
tho statement you gave out. that a re-
cntly surfaced road on which $700-
000 has been spent was impassable.
As a matter of fact although you
have gono thoroughly into tho road
expenditures in Bell County you fail-
ed to make known that included in tie
$700000 is tho cost of two years'
maintenance 61 miles of doublo as-
phalt suurfacjng and niany miles of
gravel surfacing."
