MONEY IN BERRIES.
Speaking of strawberries, says the
Wilmington Star, “one ofv Pender
county's lucky growers has already
added, nearly 61,300 to his farm in
come from one acre, hut just what
his acre record will be for the sea
son is yet a matter of conjecture, for
he is siill gathering strawberries and
selling plan's from that same valu
able acre of land.’’
This is truly a remarkable record

‘•Nice little farm you have here.”
“You ought to see the mortgage on
it,” growled the gloomy agriculturist.
‘Cheer up. You’ll pay off that
mortgage some day.”
“Don’t believe I ever will. I might
have done it. but a couple of dad-
hlamed prohibition agents wrecked
my still and now they watch me so
close I can’t do nothin’ but farm.”

bales of land In a normal season. Up
to the middle of last week he has sold
214 crates of bei'ries at an average

up for a great tuture business among
the planters. It was not long, how
ever, before the planting of straw-
bwNdes was stopped, possibly it was
because of one bad year, and the plant-

that goes in the ground every year,
regardless of price and quantity on

the boll weevil has not proved : a great
reducer of acreage. Although It has
practically destroyed production, with
the practical certainty of gathering

“The requirement that the real
names of writers be published along
with their communications is already
enforced by numerous newspapers
throughout the country.
“When a contunicatiou scut to The
Piedmont is delayed in publication, it
is usually for the reason that it is so
badly written that it has to be rewrit-
ttn in this office. Many people who
exercise much care 1C writing to in
dividuals are extremely careless in
preparing letters for publication, and
so impose an unnecessary burden up
on this newspaper. Plainly readable
and correctly prepared communica
tions are the exception, rather than
the rule." 1 1

■V,
Within the past few weeks The
Times has found Is necessary to do
ellne publication of several “letters
to the editor” because the writers
would not consent to the publication
of their names. Some of these let
ters were splendidly written and bore
upon interesting and important sub
jects. It was with regret that they
were declined. The policy of the
paper, however, would no: permit of
their publication under the mere sig
nature of “pro bono publico” and the
like. Newspapers throughout the
country have adopted a similar pol
icy with respect to publishing letters
niv’er pen names. The Greenville
Piedmont has recently had experi
ences similar to ours and thus tells
the story to its readers:
“F’or many years it has been our in
variable rule that, when communica
tions are sent to this newspaper for
publication, the real name of the an
thor must be published also. Often
The Piedmont receives interesting
and timely letters to which the real
name of the writer Is not attached.
These are returned where the writ
er’s address Is given, or, when that
information is not given, are destroy
ed.
“The New Orleans Times-Plcayune
has just adopted a similar rule, and,
in addition to stating forcibly the rea-
j son for It, gives some sound advice
j to those who write letters to news-
j, papers for publication:
“ ‘The change was decided upon for
, reasons which will as 'we hope find
gene*J l acceptance and endorsement.
Expressions of Individual views are
welcomed as interesting human docu-
ments and are wJdel.- read. But they
loye much of thetc force and weight
when the identities of their writers
are concealed by lien names. Tho
man or woman wild desires td ad*
dress the newspaper-reading public
should not hesitate to send out the
i message over his or her own signa-
i ture. We realize that some writers
of worthwhile letters do hesitate but
j we feel that the general rule is sound
; and cannot in fairness make excep-
i tions to fit special cases.

In 1895 the motion picture.
In 1922 the ludionhone, youhgest
.hild of wiru.&b telegraphy.
The phonograph and the “movie” :
are considerefl two of the greatest |
inventions of, the age because they ,
provide entertainment and iustruc- |
lion for large numbers of citizens. j
Even greater accomplishments are
promisee by experts for the radio
phone, which was practically un
known before the world war.
Radiophones for . commercial or
amateur use were not used until af- j one t ' an P' (k t'*’ a nie sage, hut when
ter the world war; but in the last j
tour months the*craze has spread so !
rapidly that there now are betweca J
(00,000 and 1,000,COO radio receiving j
sets in the Unucu .tfLaLes, .according !
to Herbert Hoover secretary of com-,
merce. J
Thirty-five broadcasting stations in •
18 different states of the Union sea *, j
out musical programs, crop reports 1
and weather predictions as thousands !
“listen in on the line.’’ The principal t
manufacturer of radio apparatus in
the United States is reported to have
15 million (’ollars in unfilled orders
ou his books.
James Clark Maxwell of Edinburgh
and London started it in 18(14. He
proved mathematical:.! that disturb
ances In the ether caused by light
and heat and those caused by elec- '
tricity were the same. In other i
words, a ray of sunlight was sinspiy j
a number of electro magnetic waves, |
traveling through space with such a !
large number of vibrations a second 1
that you can sec them. Radiant heat, j
likewise, is a number of electro-mag- |
nctlc waves.
The difference between the two is-;
in the length of the wires A light
wave is about one ;:r:y-thousandth of
an inch long; a heat wave is abotu
one ten-thousandth of an inch.
Wireless is the same, except tha« !
the wave is from 100 feet to 15
miles long. Man has discovered that
he can create an electro-magnetic dis
turbance in the ether (or space) with
an electric current, anc control the
length of the wave by making and
breaking the 'electric connection.
After devising a system of sending
out waves of a prescribed length, man
found that he could signal across
rpace p> great distance by means or
an Instrument toliwti could bo “tuned"
to pick up waves of a ’certain length,
say 200 feet, 500 feet or 2,0»;o feet,
regardless of other waves In the
ether.
At the present time there are two
kinds of wireless. Gugllelmo Mar
coni is called the originator of the l
first kind: Maj. Gen. George O. Squicr

I From the Denver Times.
| August Lutteken of Denver, one of
the largest stamp collectors in tho
world, has an envelop mailed in 185'.'
which is valued at $12 500.
There are no postage stamps on the
envelop. It bears only what were
known as postmasters’ stamps, requir
ing pay men's of 5 cents overseas post
age and the collection of another 5
cents postage from the addressee on
delivery. No street address appears
because such letters cohld he received
only by cullirgiinTeraonipt Be post-
office. The practice was discontinued
about the time of the Civil War and
specimens have become so rare that
Lutteken asserts tho one he bolds is,
in his belief, the only one extant.
