CAN 80MB RADIO
BUG BEAT THIS?
Brady radio enthusiasts are
contemplating making applica-
tion to the Radio Truth society
of the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram in behalf of R. K. Finley,
Sr., Fife’s original radio bug.
Friend Findley brought the
most remarkable radio story of
the year to Brady last Saturday,
and not only vouches for the
truth of the experience but has
available witnesses to prove the
facts in the case. Mr. Finley
relates that last week while tun-
ing up for a concert program,
he plainly overheard a telephone
conversation between J. M.
Young, superintendent of the
Fife school, and parties at Pear
Valley, with whom Mr. Young
was attempting to arrange a
basket ball game .So astounded
was Mr. Findley that he called
his son who verified the fact
that it was an actual telephone
conversation they overheard.
They then called Mr. Young on
the phone and repeated his con-
versation to him, much to his
astonishment.
The experience evidently is a
rare one, as no other radio tan
has been known to duplicate the
feat. Mr. Finley has one of the
best radio sets in the county and
derives much pleasure from the
many programs broadcasted
from all corners of the U. S.,
and with which he has been en-
abled to tune in.—Brady Stand-
ard.
Now for the Crooks to Wail!
Listen, now, folks, for the oil
promoters’ anvil chorus.
Some of the opposition to the
Denison bill offered in congress
recently was based on the claim
this bill was unnecessary, so far
as Texas stock frauds are con-
cerned, because a bill for the
Texas Legislature was at that
time being drafted.
But the bill introduced at
Austin Thursday by Represen-
tative Johnson will be fought
much more bitterly than was
the Denison bill.
The Johnson measure would
put out of business about 99 out
of every 100 of the Fort Worth
fraud artists.
The cry which will be raised
against it is that it is a boost
for “big business.” particularly
in the oil industry. The people
will be told an organized effort
is being made to put all the “in-
dependents” in the oil game out
of the State. They will be told
this is the primary object of the
proposed law, instead of its pro-
fessed purjxise of quelching the
swindlers and grafters.
If other blue sky laws with
“leeth” in them are introduced,
the cry will be the same.
In it, the promoters will he
joined by the brokers; the pub-
licity agents; landlords and sub-
sidized newspapers.
Organized crookedness dies
hard. It always dies fighting.
Where millions are at stake, as
they are in the fight of the oil
promoters and their accomplices
tor the existence of their nefari-
t us business, la'lievers in right*
im.usiu'ss and honesty are sub-
net to any sort of assault.—

IN MEMORIAM
Talking in whispers
Nods of the head,
Lonely the Household—
Mary is dead.
11
Free from her labors,
Freedom from pain,
Efforts of loved ones
Given in vain.
11
Closed are her eye-lids,
Still is her breath—
See! she is smiling,
Even in death.
11
Still are the fingers
Clasped on her breast,
Ended their labors,
Taking their rest.
i i
Speak of her gently,
Tenderly share
The grief of her loved ones,
Mourning her there.
«i
Reverence her memory,
Precious as gold,
God keep her spirit
Safe in His fold.
«*
Speak then in whispers,
Nods of the head,
Hearts are all broken—
Mary is dead.

membrance of Mrs. Isaac Mc-
