The Radio Theatre is on the wayj -and it is an institution that is des-| tined to come to the same sort of popularity as the moving picture theatre^ says The Charlotte Observ er in an editorial. It is the enter prise of the amateur wireless opera tors that is bringing this new fea ture in social entertainment to the front, and we are not surprised to learn, as we do from The Gazette,' that our neighboring town of Gas tonia, which enjoyed the privileges of a wireless station in the early days of the war, is foremost among the movers for a wireless theatre. 1 The spread of the radio service has u Vimriprpfi hv g"ov- ! UCCI1 ovuiv n um v v w_ ernmental restricitons, ibut the 70, 000 amateur operators in this coun try are now moving on President Harding and Secretary Hoover with the determination to have some of| these tresljaTictions removed. They | are standing on firm ground, be-} cause the radio is developing not ; only as a social agency, but as an institution of . great possible good to the agricultural sections. It will not/ b? long until every fanner who has a telephone in his home can also^ have his radio outfit, and keep as ' well posted on the news of th? day, 1 including the state of the markets, / as "the city, man." Secretary Hoover has indicated]' that tie restrictions now complain-j ed of are not intended as a perma-j: nent arrangement, but that the 1 Department of Commerce is work- 1 ing on plans by wtacn tne radio ser vice -will be promoted practically 1 unlimited. The Experimenter Pub- ' lishing Co., of New York, is coming 1 nobly to the assistance of the ama- ( teufs, and it states that the plans * under advisement by Secretary Jjr Hoover look to authorizing ama- s uP * teure desiring the broadcast, if < - , such broadcasting is of public bene- < fit, to use the wave length of 200 i meters at certain specified times, s so as not to interfere with the exist ing amateur radio telegraph ser- J vibe; second, to all amateurs to ' . (broadcast, only on 175 or 225 oheteris leaving the 200 meter wave t Jength open to regular communica tion service. If it is decided to au thorize broadcasting o<n 175 meters this authority can be included in tneir present regular ammeui j tion licenses will be necessary. 1 But $ke situation now seems to ' rest ob tie point of whether the 1 Department of Commerce can legal ly restrict the us? of amateur sta- ' tions for broadcasting while legis- : lation to that effect is only being 1 considered and how long will their stations ;be thus restricted pending the enactment of the proposed legis lation /which if it follows the usual course from pigeon hole to pigeon hole nay keep their stations silent for months or even years. MAKE BUSINESS GOOD. The head of an important business called on an acquaintance. "How's Kncinflca^M tV?o co^nrir) man finollv asked as their conversation was end ing. "Rotten," replied the first. "I don't expect it to get any better for a year at least." "If that's the way you feel, you can be pretty sure it won't be any better," said No. 2. "Your salsemen hear you talk that way. 'What's the use of working?' they say. 'The boss says business is rotten.' One of them . goes home tonight. 'What did you do today?' his wife asks. 'Oh, nothing, he answers. 'Can't expect to. The boss doesa't see any business ahead for this year.'" Now this isn't intended to preach the possibility of any miracle. When industry is out of balance, some thihgs ontfuly low and others undul^ ! high, when federal taxation is so J imposed as to eat up investment l^unds, nobody can make a magic by 'repeating some formula. Just to say (business is good won't make it good. But this is true: A man's attitude can make a situation a whole lot worse than it really is, it can make a situation a whole lot better than it otherwise would be. The man who says, "Oh, what's the use? Business is rotten," will cer tainly find it rotten. The man who says, "Well conditions aren't so worse. There is really a lot of busi ness to be had by working for it and 1 I'm going to get my share." I'm going to make good. A lot of people have been spoiled by the easy money of the last few years. A motor car salesman didn't have to go out and sell his cars. Cus tomers came in and begged to be put on the waiting list. Now that he has to comb the town for customers he is apt naturally to feel aggrieved. We have to recognize that the days of quick and big profits are gone. We have got to get out and hustle for what we get. But things aren't so bad but what if we do this we can make a showing. Somebody proposed th# motto last year, 'Nineteen twen ty-one will reward fighters." It did. The same thing js true of this year. The country has been through worse periods than this. It went through a long one in the '70?, and another in the '90s. People weren't fortified then as they are now by years of big prosperity just behind. This big, rich country, with all its natural resources and its energetic and intelligent population, isn't broke or anywhere near it. There is an enormoils amount of work to be done. There is a vast amount of capital on hand. The West has suffered its depression with the drop in from prices. But it has gone to rock bot tom and is on the up-grade. B'esides, the farmer has this big advantage over the industrial worker of the East. When the farm demand slows down the farm plant still keeps run ning and maintains the family of the farmer. When thfe factory closes, the industrial worker has nothing to fall back on. We aren't out in a desert. We are in the midst of a great producing region. There are plenty of opportu nities for the diligent. The man who issumes there is business to be had ind goes after it, who doubles . his energy<i? the face of disappointment, arho is resourceful, and on the job ;very minute?don't worry about iim. He will get his share. The business is right hiere in Kan sas City. Not for the man who lies ipwn. Not for the man who is easily liscouraged. But it's here for the nan who will work to get it!?Kan ;as City Star.

B: Barn^t, Mgr,, r Stuff Around Town j Signs of Sjiring. Despite the fancied or real man 2Uvers of the ground hog a few iveeks ago, the weather of the last few days has been such as to banish jvercoats, spoil the coal market, and :ause the appearance of spots of fellow in the lapels of numerous loats. Also the warm sunshine has iwakened in the minds of many 6us Dects the inherent or acquired ;houghts of a garden with its beans ind onions and collards and spinach, ^nd with such thoughts the next ;hing is the acquiring of certain nec issary tools with which to wage the ight for the infant plants against he marauding tendencies of neigh >oring chickens. The birds have al ready searched out the crooks and irannies that will shelter a prospec ive brood and have already started he herculean labor of transporting naterial for building.

February is not gone ,nd March is yet to come but the eeling that spring is here has/ al eady taken possession. ' Bootleggers Scarce. Those who are on the inside of hings anti-VoIstedian and on the utside of things prohibitory say th6t he essence of liberty and the siiti ect of ten million vaudeville jokes as grown steadily scarcer since the heriff and his assistants have started heir intensive drive against the ootlegger. And ih accordance with aws of economics as the supply has s ecreased the price has soared from 6 to $8 and $10 a gallon with the nd not ,yet In sight The retailors eem to be lying low, for a more fav rabie season. It has been suggested hat the makers may have learned the ;sson of experience and .are quietly eplenishing their stores in prepara ion for the better days. Then when he price has gone to adegfrable lev 1 they will begin unloading the lear white fluid, perhaps using a ooperative selling agreement that rill not flood the market. At any ate the supply is now very low, (It s said.) N A Personification. Always there are persons or things bat are the personification of the escriptive phrases that are familiar, f some one speaks of a tin rattle le hearer thinks of a Ford joke. But le descriptive phrasing of "a gen eman of the old school" is one of-/ sn heard, yet seldom is a man aund who meets our idea of the ;rm. To meet one that does fulfill le expectation gives pleasure aa ell as satisfaction. Those who fre uent the court house and know lose who have offices there are fa riliar with several gentlemen of le finest typfe?lovable men whom ou like to hear talk.
