SALEM
MEN
INVENT
A Device for Repeating Talk
ing Machine
Records

Another home invention has sprung
into prominence. and bids fair to be
one Of the most successful results Of
Salem 3 inventors yet produced. This
is the Kurtz-W Wenger patent repeating
device for talking machines. The orig
inal idea is claimed by Mr.. Wenger,
who thought that this device could be
made in some simple manner, and ex-
pressed his views 10 Mr.. Kurtz, who
also believed that he could do it. It
seems that both gentlemen were right
In their surmises, and the thing is at
last accomplished The invention is a
simple affair, which, when attached to
the machine, and the machine wound
up, does not get into action until the
end of the record is reached, when the
little affair "gets busy" and proceeds
10 start the record in over again. This
il continues to do as long as the ma
chine runs. These attachments can be
attached 10 any cylinder talking ma
chine Of any shape or size, at very lit
tie expense, in fact they can be placed
upon the market, owing to their sim
plieity at a lower price than any other
Of this kind now in existence
There are two other machines for this
purpose on the market now, but Mr..
Wenger has faith, and it looks very
probable that his invention will effect.
ially end the career Of the rivals, they
being Inferior to his in every way

TO PREACH GOOD
SEED TO FARMERS
TRISTATE GRAIN DEALERS JOIN
THE CAMPAIGN.
They Will Have a Good Seed Treatise
in Swedish, German and English
Scattered Broadcast Thru the States
Represented in the Association-1,1O 100
Stations Are to Cooperate.

Seed wheat agitation took on new
form this morning in the determination
reached by the Tri-State Grain Dealers
association to devote to the work the
l,lOO county stations represented by
the ASSOCIATION: The first practical
step will be the printing in English,
Swedish and German Of 10000 copies
of the treatise on seed wheat by Pro-
fessor w. M. Hays and G. P. Bull.
This treatise was begun by Professor
Hays before he received his appoint
ment as assistant secretary Of agricul-
ture. The call to Washington left it
unfinished and Professor Bull took up
the task Of completion. It is now in
the. hands of Professor Hays for final
revision, and will be published as soon
as returned from Washington.
:, The Tri-State association g houses are
in Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and northeast Nebraska. It is the in
ize every farmer within territory tribu-
tary to its houses with the Importance
of good seed. Not only the immediate
results in increased yields, but the gem
eral benefits of, the cultivation and ex-
tension Of the good seed idea are OBJ
jects aimed at. This is the first step.
The association has other far-reaching
plans under consideration.
A. +. Bremen, president of the asso-
citation, says the work has been under
taken seriously and has been planned
Systematically, and no farmer within
the territory covered will be missed.
The literature sent out will be stripped
Of technicalities as much as possible,
and consideration Of the question con-
fined to the practical side. ., ~

BAD BOY IS SENTENCED
FOR A PITILESSPRAN

The "sequil "-that which Charles
Norby "didn t finish in the first ''-was
q sentence of ten days imprisonment in

Peck or Twain or other writer's, there
is nothing quite up to the pitiless prank
which this youth played on Mrs. Emma
Johnson.
Mrs. johnson, who is old, was visiting
with Norby's mother, in Northeast
Minneapolis. She placed her specta-
cles on the diningroom table and Char
ley. diverting her attention by an in
genious story about something just
outside the window, "hooked" them.

Norby confessed: Judge Waite thought
the workhouse the best place to punish
the bad bow. 49,
