MONDAY. DECEMBER 12, 1921. We believe it is goinj; to be an easy matter to secure the hundred subscribers to a live thousand dollar can nery to he located here. As we are t<> nrii? iinotiii-r man inins the w I'?vww ? V j ranks, making five. We are looking j l'or ninety-live others to sign up. Are; you possessed of sufficient vision t?> slake a fifty dollar subscription t > this very much needed enterprise? Christmas lime is almost here. It is a good time to take a firm gripj upon yourself in the matter of eating. Much fresh meat, rich cake and pas ; try will be the order of the day fiom now until January 1. It is a good time to practice moderation in eating. Many people, having indulged in cating overmuch fail to really enjoy the Christmas season. We are a nation! of gluttinous people around Christmas time. We need t'o reform. Moderation in eating will help you to enjoy the holiday season. Try It this year. We hove secured four men who have'agreed to invest fifty dollars in a can-i nery here. We are seeking ninety-six: more?one hundred all together, thus j securing five thousand dollars irv sub-' scriptions to such an enterprise. You have been for a long time proclaiming your interest in the progress of the county. We urge you to show your interest in a substantial way. We can; get the concern going by spring and be ready to take care of all the canning that we can get to do the com ing summer. Now is the time to act, not next spring. We muafrjegt ready to take care of the businctfy* and then! we must get a sufficient number of farmers to agree to raise just the articles that we expect to can.

Indeed, says R. W. King, one of the American Telephone & Telegraph company engineers whose work on the loud speaking device made possible the ushering in of a new epoch in space annihilation at the ceremonies over the bier of America's Unknown Soldier, it is well within the range of possibility that President Harding may see the 'day when a president can sit at ease in the White House ami talk at once to every city, town and hamlet in the United States that is tapped by telephone wires. An audience of 50,000,00(1 perhap-1 Or 100,000,000! They don't even blink at-ligures like that?these telephone company engineers. For ability to look, unabashed into the faces of a column of ciphers, marching in threes across great open white spaces, is one of the prerequisites even to thinking about that marvelous contrivance, the electrical amplifier, of which the loud speaking d<vice is only one in a long list of practical applications. For instance?the electrical current that carried President Harding's funeral oration to the crowds at Arlington, San Francisco and New York was multiplied 3,000,000.000,000,001, 000,000.000,000 times before it. rolled out. converted into great sonorous >und waves, over the heads of Umv audiences. It took 3,000,000.000,000.000 ampli lira!ions to convoy the oration and the other ceremonies to San Francisco s< that they could have been hear, through an ordinary telephone recei or. Then they had to be amplified million-million times by the loir speaking device. A mc^e ten million billions of amp'i '.cations were necessary to bring t ). ceremonies out clear and strong h New York. Ten thousand were use to bring the ceremonies here, and : million million to raise them to audi oil it y for the New York audience. The other million-million amplifier-, tions were used to carry the pros' dent's voice to the Arlington crowd. Ky providing a few more scores < thousands of miles of wire, some thor. sands of loud speaking devices and ew foolscap sheets tilled with tin;, ciphers indicating more amplifica tions, the entii'e country might heai f.-.tu: e public ceremonies, Mr. Kin aid. I.t would J)e relatively simple, he de ured, to sot up equipment in the cap itals of the 48 states through whicl i ?!).0b0 persons in each city?-a tote of 7,1200,00 0?could hear a ceremony i> Washington or elsewhere as distinct !y as if they were seated within few yards of the speaker. "fanned" music, too, faces a pole v tial rival in the loud speaker. It would he as simple to connect the stage of the .Metropolitan Opera House up wit! the nation at large as to connect v president, once the equipment was sei up. Telephone engineers say the; Armislie*' Day experiment proved that music could be reproduced over the wir. circuits at least as purely as it i reproduced on the host phonograp': records and that it will be a matter ol hut a few years when the last vestigt of metallic ring will be eliminated. Mr. King believes it will be but a short time too, until all the principa public halls and large university audi ti riums are equipped at least wit!: local loud speakers. These he pointe. out, could easily be switched in o; long distance circuits carrying publi addresses and similar events fron other cities. While the loud speaking device is development of the last two years, th> amplifier which made it possible, ha; been in widespread use. piling up ciphers unseen on every long distanct telephone line in the country, sinct the transcontinental circuits were op ened in 1915. A long distance cal from New York to San Francisco in '.elves 100.000,000.000 amplifications The number of amplifications necessary between any two points depend: not only upon the distance but up<>i the nature of the circuit. But the principle of the amplifier i.not limited to telephonic use. It is a fundamental of radio and wire telegraphy; of radio telephoning; of all long distance electrical signaling. It. was the amplifier that picked up during the war water vibrations aus.-d by enemy submarines and ;rar. dated them into sounds by which immnndcrg of allied warships were able to locate the hidden foe. It made possible the "fog line" in h'\v York harbor?that magnetized ( an:o leading up tno cnannoi, wnicn properly equipped vessels can follow ii 1 tie thickest fop. Recently it brought the first music many of thorn ever heard to a New York audience of persons of defective hearing. Physicians use it to study the beating of the human heart. These are some of its scores of users. "And the amplifier is still in its inr.cy," says Mr. King. A new restaurant in New York is (! rood with a collection of sixcvnth century tapestries valued at 1200,000. National League of Compulsory Education Detroit, Mich., Dec. 10.?-Ah effort to bring the business world and school teachers into closer contact in every city in the country through the med urn of highly trained attendance dicers, will be made by the National League of Compulsory Education officials if the plan of Arthur F. Lederle of Detroit, president of the ori ; nnization, is carried out. Mr. Leder1who is supervisor of attendance of the Detroit school system, was elected head of the national league of its rei cent convention here. The plan will be submitted to other officials of the league for approval. The basis for the plan is to make each attendance officers of a publie school j system conform to a minimum standard of education and character. The ,-anic requirements would be demanded of these officers as are required for teachers. To make the plan effective it is proposed that the league name , a Committee composed of some of the , country's leading educators, members of which would set the standards and ! require that all attendance department workers conform to them. The committee would have no standing un der the laws of the various states,- it is pointed out, but virtually coulc i compel obedience to its mandates if much the same way that the American Academy of Medicine requires medical colleges to conform to certain standards through the weight ot public opinion. (riven such attendance officers as ' ould meet rigid requirements, sehoo officials could be in a better positior i to serve their communities by usin? '.he officers as a "half way mark" between the public and the schools, Mr I.ederle said. "The public schools have paid toe much attention to acaeiemic and nol 1 ics^Y*The wonderful poulti makes early layers < produces fast growth In young chicks.

"The schools must make greater efforts Vo tit the pupils ior life ih the communities, lather than to strive to make their courses so idealistic that the communities cannot reach the mark. It is far better to train students to meet ordinary' work-a-day problems and to solve them than it is to fill their heads with a mass of things they never will use.! The schools must stop turning out a i product without a thought as to the I need for that product. "The attendance officer is the truant officer made up to date. In years past he was expected to force children to attend school. Now he is expected to attack non-attendance from the economic and social standpoints, and remove the cause of the non-attendance. Col. Stanton Retires San Francisco, Dec. 11.?Colonel , Charles E. Stanton, veteran army officer, who sprang into fame when, during the war, he uttered at the tomb , of Lafayette in Faris the words, "I>a| fayette, we are here," recently became commissioner of the board of . public works of San Francisco. Colonel Stanton retired from active ; service in the army recently after be1 ing in the uniform for nearly twcntyi five years. Sev<?ral years were spent . with General Pershing in the Philip5 pines and when Pershing went to . France he took with him Colonel Stanf ton as disbursing officer. For his excellence in handling the 5 financial affairs of the American Ex1 peditionary Forces, Colonel Stanton i was awarded the Distinguished Serr vice Medal, the highest decoration the nation gives the men in its service. Army officers here described Colonel Stanton as "the most celebrated toast> master in the service." He went onto t the retired list as a colonel. rom Every Hen ise for a loafing hen.
