Another Triumph of American Inventive Genius
__
CEbSA I ION of hostilities makes public tlie Invention of a wireless telephone
which was successfully used by American aviators In airplane fighting in
the closing weeks of the* war without the knowledge of the Germans. This
jiuimriiim mmiury secret mis neen
known to hundreds of loynl Americans
for several months hut has hocn Jeal
ously guarded. Hy means of this radio
telephone It was possible for a ground
observer to talk to pilots In the air
miles away. Commanders of air
squadrons could voice warnings to all
their pilots as to the movements of
•enemy aircraft, and squadron forma
tions of all sorts could be maintained
In the air ns easily as Infantry units
on the ground.

“There are some details concerning It which we cannot dlscnse jet.” says 1
John I». ICyan. director of aircraft production. “I have myself, standing on i
flic ground, given orders to a squadron flying in the air and watched them
maneuver according to instructions. The transmission of the voice is clear
•enough to he heard distinctly over tin* noise of the airplane motor.”
This Is ail very interesting, especially as it sets the imagination to work
applying the invention to the everyday needs of life In times of peace.
Why should not the fanner's wife step to the door and tell her husband
ut the other end of the 040 that dinner is ready—provided she has a husband
Who does not know enough to come in at meal time?
What /s to prevent the farmer’s hoy from saying. “Co-boss! Co-boss!”
Into the wireless at milking time and saving a trip through the stubble In
bare feet ?
Lovers can talk without any inquisitive old maid listening in.
In the coming days of travel by airplane the would-be passenger can hall
the approaching stage and find out if there Is room for one more.
And so it goes. Score another triumph of American inventive genius!
Woman Raises Patriotic Spuds in Her War Garden
DKNVKU.—Many thousands of patriotic women the country' over had success j

crop of first-class potatoes. But Denver boasts a woman gardener who has

apparently established a record lor
patriotic success in the line of spuds.
This amateur gardener is Mrs.
Grace Sears of 15 Federal boulevard,
Barnum. And she certainly has a
right to feel proud over Iter achieve
ment.
For she has grown potatoes in tin*
three colors of the American flag—
red, white and blue. 'Phis is not a
figure of speech, either, written for the
purpose of stirring some other garden
er to emulate or attempt to surpass
the accomplishment. It is an actual crowing of potatoes in tin* three colors.
Mrs. Sears has exhibited tin* potatoes to a number of friends, who have * \ y
pressed tin* proper amount of surprise* and gratification at tin* result of her
summer’s work.
The* re-el is the* Early Hose, familiar to every greiwer of spuds within tin
last half century.
The* white is what is known as tin* Hurbnnk potato, and is a edean

Hut for tin* blue potato Mrs. Sears eloe-s not have any name. Sln- says that
it was called “Just blue*” tei her when she got tin* tubers which she planted,
and that is all the* name* sin* knows fe>r It. Hut it is a decideel blue in e*e»le.r. :

AN OPPORTUNITY IS OFFERED YO
To Share In the Immense Wealth Which Every Season Is Taken From Local
Waters By the Canneries.
Local Company Organized to Engage in the Salmon Industry and Keep the Profits at Home
? LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR FUTURE INDEPENDENCE
kI
Th.e Hinchinbrook Packing Company has been or
ganized at Cordova for the purpose of operating a two
line cannery on the site now occupied by the Ohm Fish
andi Packing Company.
The new company has taken over the Ohm Fish and
''Packing Company and will use the boats, gear, buildings
and other equipment of the latter company.
Gus Ohm, V. J. Swanberg and William H. King are
the organizers of the new company.
Everyone in Cordova knows of Gus Ohm. He started
at Cordova with a dory and fished for the local market.
By using sound business methods he prospered and soon
had a number of other fishermen working for him. Busi
ness men of the city became interested and he was given
capital to operate on a large scale, and finally the Ohm
Fish and Packing Company was formed, with him at
its head.
Now Mr. Ohm is convinced that although he has
made a success of the company there is more money to
be made in a salmon cannery than in fish packing, and
with the two men who have been closely identified with
him in the Ohm Fish and Packing Company he has de
cided to take over the latter plant and turn it into a
salmon cannery.
But to do this will require a large sum of money.
The new company will have a good start in possessing
the boats, buildings and equipment of the old company,
but money will be needed to buy additional machinery
and equipment.
The usual plan in such enterprises is to seek outside
capital—to go to the States and place the proposition
amdng men who are always on the lookout for such be
ginnings of successful industries.
But in this case the men interested have decided
that instead of going Outside for capital, and eventually
turning the largest part of the profits to people not of
the community, they will first offer people of Cordova
an opportunity to become interested.
The people here know something of canneries. They
know of the past successes of this industry in this imme
diate vicinity. They know that despite cries from the
cannerymen every year that their plants are on the verge
of ruin, yet every plant in the district is being enlarged
and improved and employs more men every season.
Fish packing is not a gamble, as is gold mining or
oil mining. The fish are in Prince William sound, and
when they are taken out they have a ready sale. The
industry yet is in its infancy.
Naturally it is impossible to guarantee a large return
on the stock, but people of Cordova who have seen the
canneries rise and prosper about the city can not doubt
the success of the new cannery.
Shares of the Hinchinbrook Packing Company have
a par value of SI.00 each, and will be placed on the mar
ket at par. All stock will share equally in the profits of
the company. Any quantity, small or large, will be sold.
No exaggerated statements about the company will
be made. A large and profitable fish packing company
which has every assurance of continued success is being
turned into a cannery because the men in charge believe
a greater success can be made. A man will be in charge
of the new cannery who has spent practically his entire
life in work connected with fishing and fish packing, and
who has made a success in this very community. Every
possible supply for the canneery will be purchased here
and local help and fishermen will be employed. The
profits will go to people of Cordova. Thus instead of
the largest part of the money going outside the city,
Cordova will reap the benefits in supplies purchased, sal I
aries paid and profits distributed. n
This is an open statement of the new company and P
its aims. H
Remember there has never been a salmon cannery H
in this district that has failed. E
