For many days a Topeka man who
is successful manufacturer worked
in his shop on a new idea. He expert
mented with the fifty-seven varieties
out the new idea. Noises beautiful and
otherwise eTna mated from the ma
chincry he put together. Then one
evening he considered the new idea
carried out. He presented it to his
naily.
AS a result of working out the idea
not only the family, but friends of the
family and many other Topekans are
enjoying the music of THE Echo a
photograph with a noiseless motor
and a life-like tone. Chas. D. Scott,
of the Scott Weighing MachiE COM
pany. is the manufa cturer of the in
strument. which is now presented to
to the market everywhere, as well as
in Topeka. 1t is the plan of the COM
pany to make at least 1000 instru-
ments the first year.
To Other Countries.
The weighing machines made by the
Scott company are used all over this
country and in South America and
European countries. With the manu-
featuring plant already in use for
many years to make weighing ma
chimes, there was little to add to equip
the plant for manufacturing phono-
graphs.
'dThe Echo" compares favorably
with any of the older makes of pho
nographs and eXcels many of them in
tone quality. There is no nasal sound
from The Echo" and no surface
noise of any kind. Not even by listen
ing close to the sound box is there any
noise heard from the motor. Any
records may be played on THE Echo"

If one were to listen TO Joe Wood

New York, Aug. 13-(walI Street. 10:30 a. m.-Many of the influential shares such as U. s. Steel and Bald win showed little variation from yes- terday's final prices at the opening of stock market today. Movements were toward higher levels with buy ing of special stocks in considerable volume. Reports that the lons pending merger of various chemical companies would be soon consum- mated influenced an active inquiry for the groups. National Aniline advanced 5; General Chemical 4, and Barrett company 2 12 points. In- vestment oils were also stronger. Mex ican Petroleum rising i and SheN Transport 1-2. U. s.

3 CENTS ON DOLLAR
 RETAILERS PROFIT

New York, Aug. 13-"Out Of eacn dollar paid for meat the farmer gets GA cents; the packer gets Is cents and the retailer 23 cents. Of the last, 19 or 20 cents goes for rent. light, labor, service, etc, and only thre or four cents on the. dollar is left for profit"
 This statement was made yesterday in an address by Samuel T. Nash, vice president of the Institute of American Meat Packers and president of the Cleveland Provision Company. He was speaking to the delegates attend ing the 35th annual convention Of United Master Butchers. which closed yesterday at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
 Other speakers also emphasized the small margin of profit which is said to reach the retailer.
 Henry C. Wallace of Des Moines, editor and publisher of Wallace's Farmer and president of the Corn Belt Meat Producers Association, characterized present live stock con ditions as "critical" He added:
