A machine known as the United

and which is in daily operation in the
United States geodetic survey at Wash.
ington, makes mathematical calcula-
lions which would otherwise require
100 persons to do.
It's work is nothing less than the pre-
dieting Of the times and heights of
high and low tides a year in advance.
It's mechanism is of brass and steel. it's

and its tender one observer. who turns
"a crank and copies off on paper the
reading of several dials and later re-
moves from the machine a roll of paper
on which is plotted the tidal curve for
the particular spot along the coast the
tides Of which have been predicted.
Every year the United States issues
a book Of tide tables, primarily for the
use Of its navy and, secondly, for the
use Of all who go down to the sea in
ships. This book of tide tables gives

The Magic Rays of Radium,

lEIC IldxlS NdyS Va NooANiAt
The new phenomenon of science,
Radium, derives it's name from the
fact that this marvellous mineral
ceaselessly gives off three different
and distinct kinds of rays. One
of these travels with almost the e
locity of light itself, and has most
remarkable penetrating power, cas-
lily affecting the shadowgraphing
upon a photographic plate thru
iron and steel or two feet of wood.
While long exposure to these rays
is considered dangerous, one or
more of them possess properties
that may eventually revolutionize
the treatment of some diseases Of
humanity as completely as have
the remarkable qualities of Radi-
I'M upset long established laws of
physics. Radium is several de-
grees warmer than the surrounding
atmosphere, and ever when i'm
mersed in Liquid Air, 312 degrees
below zero, will constantly give off
heat and light. That it can con-
tinuously exert the wonderful ener-
gy that it does, with no apparent
diminution of weight or strength,
ia the marvel of scientists, who are
led to predict that it will take
thousands-some have said mil
lions-of years to exhaust Radium's
phenomenal activities. Radium
costs at the rate of considerably
over $5, 90 900 per pound, but
Prof. Patty brings several tiny
tubes of the substance, and appar.
atus with which to demonstrate
its wonders. They can be seen

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ.
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly In
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and &C
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the hest interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community
Every farmer In this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper. and no home
should be without it. The local paIa,
is part of the community life and tbs
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. tits the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deAIpwith subjects of most
vital IMPORTANCE to localsife of the
community.

Tho Power Of Advertising.


The influence Of advertising is clear

are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by Civ
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am.
billions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug-;
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our.
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages Of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle Of ambitious
men IN tbs.r wild lust for power. and
many times the flames OF personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new.
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press

cities, sweeping before 1t a thousand
boys and girls per day. It has to deal
