UNIQUE MUSIC INSTRUMENT.
Human Voice Re-created by Edison
demonstrations at the Wilbur Store.

Human Voice Re-created by Edison
Demonstrations at the Wilbur Store.
The music lovers of Marshalltown
may have the opportunity in the near
future to attend an Edison tone test,
the unique musical and scientific dem
nnstratinn that has been attracting
wide attention in all parts of the
United States during the past few
months. 1t is well known fact that
most monographs merely give an APP
proximate reproduction of the human
voice-a reproduction that may be
pleasing to the ear but that falls far
short of approaching the perfection OF
the warm and vibrant tones of the liv-
ing voice. When Thomas A. Edison
invented the first photograph and es-
tablshed the fact that sound could be
reproduced, he realized that. If an APP
proximate reproduction was scientific
possibility, d perscc. reproduction could
be secured He set the achievement
Of the latter task as a goal and tor
years he concentrated his energy AMI
resources on the work he had deter
mined to accomplish.
A few months ago he announced that
his task Was completed andsthet he "as
ready to give q new and unique instru-
ment Of music to the world. In order
to demonstrate the degree of perfec-
ton that he had attained in it., he gave
a demonstration in Carnegie hall, New
York, In which Nine. Marie Rappold
OF the Metropolitan Opera, sang in
unison with her voice on the New Edi-
son. An audience. of the most cultured
and discriminating musicians Of the
metropolis heard the test and found
themselves unable to distinguish be-
tween the voice Of the instrument and
the voice of the singer. The most noted
and impartial music critics of the
world, there to pronounce Judgment On
the new invention, listened--and ad-
mitted that the living voice had been
re-created. 8
The demonstration in New York
aroused the most enthusiastic comment
in all parts Of the country and brought
insistent demands for repetitions OF
this unique scientific and artistic dem
onstration from other cities. And, des-
pite the fact that hundreds OF tests
already have been given, the INTENSE
interest taken in them has not abated
in the least and at the present time,
large number OF renowned artists are
touring the country for Mr.. Edison II,
response to requests for tone-tes that
are being made by the musical and
scientific people of America. Many of
the music lovers of Marshalltown have;
heard these tests and expressed their
ea rnast desire TO hear another 1t is
In an effort to crafty the desire OF
these people that the d. G. Wilbur

The Britannia. used as hospital
ship by the British and sunk by a mine
or torpedo in the Aegean sea, was
launched at the Harland & Wolff ship
yard in Belfast Feb 26, 1914, and was
the largest British merchant vessel
afioat. Her keel was laid soon after
the Titanic was sunk. and she was in
tended to take the place Of that craft.
The Britannia was surpassed in size
only by tles German vessels 1mperator
and Vaterland. Shipping men remark
ed upon the fact that neither the Ii
tanic nor the Britannia ever reached
America. The Britannia was to have
gone into service in the fall Of 1914
but owing to the numerous strikes n
the shipyard and the labor trouble,
which caused delay in getting materi-
ais. it was put off to the spring of 1915.
When the war started in August,
1914, the Britannia was taken over by
the admiralty and fitted out to accom-

VETS WIN FIRST BLOOD.
Lexington Remains Wet By a
Majority of 296. Drys
Elated Over First
Showing.

The election Saturday to de-
termine whether or not intoxiea-
ting liquor should be sold in
Lexington, resulted in a verdict
for the vets by a majority Of
296. This being the first at
tempt to put Lexington in the
dry column, the result was hard
to forecast. Only a few Of the
most optimistic could see a
victory for the drys, and few
expected that the vote would be
as close as it was. The colored
folks with approximately 400
votes won the election for the
vets as less than 1919 of them
voted dry. This vote anywhere
equally divided would have given
the verdict to the drys.

SAM c. MAJOR A VISITOR.
Candidate for Congress Spent
Last Night Here. Spoke in
Front Of Court House.


Sam G. Major Of FayeTte, How
ard county, candidate for con
gress to succeed c. w. Hamlin,
the present incumbent, spent
Wednesday night in this city and
spoke to the faithful in front of
the court house, Mr.. Major was
very hoarse from speaking two
or three times a day for the
past ten days, yet his voice was
good enough to carry the plain
truths of his case to those who
assembled.
Mr. Majors remarks were
principally in answer to the
pamphlets circulated by Mr..
Hamlin under another Con-
gressrnan's frank. Mr.. Hamlin's
platform twelve years in, and
want it some more" Mr.. Ham
Inns argument when he defeat
ed Judge Cooney-" Six years is
long enough for any one man
to hold the job,' and Mr.. Ham
Inns claim that, ''he is the only
experienced statesman in the
Seventh district, and to make a
change at this time would be the
height Of folly"
He further reviewed the for
nation Of the district and the
vote of each county, setting
forth in unanswerable logic, the
justice of Howard county's
right to expect recognition when
she furnishes the majority
which makes possible a Demo-
crat congressman from this dis
trict; his own experience as
compared to Mr.. Hamlin when
he first asked for the honor
Mr.. Hamlin had been city at
torney of Bolivar, Mo, and mem
her of the Snrinpfield Board az
Education for six years. Mr.
Major has served Howard
County six years as prosecuting
attorney and four years in the
State Senate. In conclusion he
stated that he was a Democrat
first, last and all the time, and
no matter what his fortunes
were in this race he would be
found working for the success
Of the ticket in November.
For more than thirty years
Howard county has been pilinl
up Democratic majorities that
this district might be repre-.
sented by a Democrat. She j;
now asking that this honor bt
given to her, to favorite son
Sam c. Major, whose accom-
plishments beftting this ofic,
are undeniable.
