Hundred of linenren. empmyes of
the Western Union, Postal, North
western Hell phone system, and the
local phone company, are spread
over the country between Gibbon
and Danv beyond Lexington, work
ing desperately in an effort to re
establish communication, if only
temporarily. These men know their
ground, scores of them still heme
e ngaged in repairing damage caused
by storm three weeks ng and
seeing all their work Since that time
wiped out Monday night. ,
The Western Union announced
that 427 ooles were down between
Gibbon and Darr, carrying with
them hundreds of miles of wire. 1 he
local phone company officials state
their damaee will areatly exceed that
of three weeks ago, when they suf
fered a loss of approximately $JU,
(100. During thas sjorm the other
lines joint loss was estimated at a
quarter million dollars, jney tareu
worse by the Monday storm, accord
ing to advices available here, and it
will be weeks before a normal service
can be resumed.
While some electric wires were
down, the big extension leaders with
held the immense weight of tons of
snow and the strain of a 40-mile
wind, and damage suffered by this
company is confined locally.
Farmers see the storm result from
a different point of view and those
makine their way to town radiated
smiles over the much needed precipi

? Snow Helps Crop.
Upland. Neb.. April. 12, (Social.)
A wet snow -fell here. -.-It is
thought that fully an inch of moist
ure fell. This will be a great help
to get the ground ready for this
year's crops. Sonic of the winter
wheat is looking well, some fields are
only fair, and others the wheat is not
worth saving. Barley and oats are
being. sown. - Some summer tallow
ing or dry farming wheat catiie
through the winter in fine shape and
is proving that, that is the proper
method for wheat raising in this
part of the state.

by a French representative and the

so dictaut from Kiirope that it pre
fers that the work of the commis

French Basis.
The statement of Louis Barthnu,
head of the French delegation to Ihe
Associated ' Press, yesterday, ex
plaining wliy trance cannot discuss
disarmament at Genoa, probably will
remain the basis of the French at
titude on this question despite the
attempts of the Russian delegation or
other national groups to raise the is
sue.
"This is a purely economic con'
fcrence," said the French leader last
night, again emphasizing France's
position, "and we have simply got to
stick to our agenda as America did
at Washington, otherwise we will get
nowiicre.

would not be brought tq market for
a couple of months. He also said
the farmers of Dodge county were
behind in their spring farm work and
that there had been no spring plow

The evolution of the radio i

urrmanent factor toward further ad
vances lor commercial use. lhat

Omaha has had it radio fans since
the invention of wirclcst. Just at
the radio telephone has taken tbe
rat by storm, so is Omaha coming
into it own m the increasing num
ber of amateurs.

In practically every city. All one

cither be purchased at a nominal cott
or made at home with little instruc
tion, ihe rice will run a series ol
articles on how to make your own

Simple Construction.
How novel, wondrous ami mysti
fying 'twill be to sin) a pair of re
ceivers over your head at night and.
by a little adjusting ot condensers
and detectors, to listen in on a con
cert or new announcement from
New lork, rrisco. Chicago or even
your own home town. Marvelous,
th! But 'tis so. It's being done
every day.
Condensers, receivers, audion bulbs
amplifier, galena, silicon, aerial, tun
ing coils might all confuse one in
reading of their uses in radio work,
and tlioygh all these are aids to
clearer messages through the radio,
the only articles absolutely needed to
catch messages from the air are an
aerial, tuning coil, detector, receiv
ers and batteries.
Radio in China.
The popularity of the radio phone
is evident in a few facts:
The Riant liner Leviathan will
have radio phones in each of its
M state rooms.

the science is bringing that develop'

Willi the coming of radio into
society, many new touches will be
introduced into the entertainments
of the social lights. Invitations to
parlies will be received marked with
the initials & Y. O. II." in the lower
left hand corner.-. Unlike most mys
terious communications, these initials
have nothing to do with the 18th
amendment. They mean "bring your

is tlte installation of radio sets in
country clubs for the use of members
who wish to keep informed of hap
