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

ranks, making five. We are looking j
l'or ninety-live others to sign up. Are;
you possessed of sufficient vision 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. Come;
in and subscribe to one share, fifty
dollars.

oud Speaking Device
Ushers in New Epoch
_ e
New York, Dec. 10.?President Having,
who set a record for long dis-'
ance oratory on Armistice day by ad-,
Ircssing simultaneously three great
hrongs of more than 100,000 persons '
athered at Arlington Nutional Come-1
ery, San Francisco and New Yolk,
nay easily find himself talking to an
tudience running high into the mil10ns
and scattered through every
state in the union, before he lea.es
ihe White House.
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.

century tapestries valued at

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.

enough t? business life," the league
president declared. "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.
