Ran iine and got everything on the air — as long as the batteries held up. Seemed, though, everytime I got mighty interested in a weather report or a good talk on crops, out came a squawk like a pig callin' contest n' then no thin' at all. Meanin' a signal for me to put my hat and coat on and start down to the village luggin' a battery. Didn't mind this in good weather but you ought to try it sometime when its rainin' or snowin' like blazes. To tell the truth, there aint no radio program worth all that trouble." "Now. I'm no hand at testiiyin' about something that tickles me, but both Molly and I want to thank you for tellin' us what this new radio would do tied up with a Power-Charger. We can play the radio from the time we get up until bedtime and forget about the batteries. Top of that, we've rigged up a set of electric lights in the house 'bout as good as the folks down in Pipestone have 'em. Molly can peel potatoes without cuttin' off a finger 'n I can smoke my pipe and read without gettin' crosseyed." 'You ought to come out to the farm and see how I've rigged up this combination. John — my oldest boy — showed me how to hook-up and run our grindstone from the charger motor. Used his head, I'd say, since its his job to sharpen the tools." "And the whole outfit cost so little can't see why everybody don't get up to date. Thanks, Mr. Martin. You sure did us I a favor."
