Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879 PURLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOL. 4, NO. 30 LONG ISLAND, PHILLIPS COUNTY, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1922 $1.50 PER YEAR MRS. FRANK FRENCH IS DEAD Miss Adelia J.

Harris, was born in Will County, Illinois, March 24, died in Tustin, California, March 16th 1922, aged 74 years, 11 months and 22 days. In 1866 Miss Harris became the wife of Frank H. W. French, to which union was born two sons and one daughter, viz, Delmar, Augustus and Ida Belle, the second son dying in infancy, the other two were with her at the time of her decease. She came with her husband to Phillips county, Kansas in 1878 where the took a homestead two and threequarters miles northwest of Long Island where they built up a home and endured all the pruvations coin-, cident to a pioneer country, and lived there until father French died in 1912, when she removed to Tustin, which since has been her home with her daughter, Belle.

She taught the first school in her district in the winter of '79 in her little sod home with ten scholars, and later taught in many districts in Phillips County and Norton county, and has many students all over that part of Kansas, and even here on the coast. he was very early in childhood converted and joined the M. E. chu: and so remained until coming to California when for health reasons she had to unite with the First Presbyterian Church of Tustin, where she was a constant attendant until the last Sabbath before her sickness. Her funeral services were held in the mortuary of Smith Tuthill, Santa Ana, and her pastor and his singers conducted the services which were beautiful in the extreme, and she was laid to rest in the Fairhaven cemetery there to await the resurrection morn.

The pallbearers were all men from Long Island, two excepted, and were Chas. Halderman, Chas. Cozad, Chas. Hallett, Barett Halderman, Dwight Kenyon and Chester Kenyon. She died strong in the faith, her last words being, "The Lord is my Shepherd, shall not want," so we weep not as they who have no hope beyond this vale of tears.

Transmission of messages by the means of code and voice, via the radio instrument, has taken the country by storm, says the Omaha World-Herald, in speaking of the many radiophone receiving stations at chat place. Long Island is now joining the towns that are equipped with these new-fangled instruments.

The first to be installed is the one now being placed at the Giffen Culbertson home Last Saturday the high steel posts and the aerial wires were hung and it is expected that the final equipment will be here soon and the work completed. Mr. Culbertson became interested! in this wireless phone through letters from relatives in the East, who have been "listening-in" on some splendid concerts and otherwise enjoying the pleasure of hearing conversations from one side of the country to the other. Mr. Culbertson is putting in an instrument that will have a widerange, and will be able to pick-up a message or concerts from anywhere in the United States and probably from Canadian points.

Thus it will be that Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson and their invited friends can be seated in the Culbertson home and will be able to hear very plainly lectures, concerts, sermons, weather dispatcher, market reports, results or athletic contests, and anything that is sent broadcast from the sending over this country. From what we have been able to learn, it is understood that others in this vicinity are contempiaung the purchase of radio-phones, and more than likely we will find several sets of these instruments in this community before many months pass. Mr.

Culbertson says it will be a week or SO before his instruments will be completed and shipped here, SO it will be sometime yet, before they will be able to get in touch with the "ether-world." In looking over the exchanges that come to our desk we notice that a good many places in this part of the state are being struck with this new fad and in some towns the business men have gone together with the idea of purchasing outfits for the benefit of the public, as well as many individuals who have placed such outfits in their homes and in their business establishments. The Norton County High School announces that they will install a radio-phone receiving set which cost in the neighborhood of $350 says the Norton Daily Telegram. The editor of The Norcatur Dis- patch in last week's issue says in part: "Though our radiophone was scarcely installed, the Dispatch editor had his first experience on hearing air messages Tuesday night. We caught part of a conversation from Madison, a conversation from Los Angeles, to the Catalina Islands. From Denver we caught a clear musical program and all market reports." At Logan, Kansas, P.
