Asked what was the secret Of the
success Of the attempt to establish
the human voice. Captain Bullard said
THE recent completion OF the trans.
continental land telephone line gave
the telephone engineers the Idea, ] be-
current to create the electric waves 70
transport the sound.
1T was found that the electric cur
rent in wire became too weak 10 per
form It's function after a certain dis.
tanco. Four booster stations were
esta blished between New York and San
Francisco to boost the current when II
began to grow too wenk to convey the
vibrations on the diaphragms In the tele.
phones. Tho result was the currcn,
never 81 Nv inadequate TO create the
necessary waves.
Could Save Wire Expense.
THE engineers evidently figured tha,
they could save wire expense and other
charges by having these booster sta
tions supply the current to wireless sta
tions. which would create the ncccssa ~
waves on which to supcrimposc the vi
brntions made by the human voice on
the diaphragm"
How Is the human voice conveyed
across the Atlantic Ocean" he was
asked
III Isn't exactly true that the human
voice goes across the Atlantic" replied
Captain Builard. What happens Is
this: A strong current of electricity
creating electric waves Is constantly
going out from the antcnnn con-
sisting OF thrc" towers $50 feet high
and wiros connected with l0,-kilo-
watt dynamo: these waves serve as
q conveyor for vibrations OF the air

the purpose of the exhibits to induce
anyone to take up farming on a ten
acre tract in Willamette valley or any
where else. Mr. Sherman specializes IN
strawberries, cantelOupes and year

Lebanon man has done almost phenom'
inally well on ten acres (or 8 acres un'

added two ore at SS25.00 an acre). he
happens to be happy combination OF

is man of method. Of abOunding en-
ergy, faith in himself, and determina'
tiOn that is apparent in every move.
And he has a wife who has always had
flowers on the table-perhap his great

the combination that has entered into
the success Of Mr.. Sherman might well
hesitate about confining themselves tp
ten acres, even in the Willamette val
ley. The exhibit, however, together
with Mr.. Sherman's story, tells what
one man aas done for himself, shows
the prolific production of countless va
rieties of products that will grow on
Willamette Valley soil (of which that
at Lebanon is TYPICAL, and offers to
others the encouragement there should

stored to health and to social position,
