WHY
thOnOgraph Gives Us Such
Faithful Reproduction

Few people know why 1t is possible
TO reproduce the vocal or instrumental
art Of great artist with the faithful
ness of the modern photograph. In
the first place, ii should be remem.
hered thst sound waves gradually d.
minish In volume Ii released in large
space Of air. just as the ripples caused
by tossing a pebble into still pool
gradually become smaller.
The record" consists of one long
groove having indentations of varying
sizes In II to represent the sound
waves To be reproduced. These small
lndentations are either In the bottom
or sides of the groove. At the begin
ming and end of the groove there are
no indentations. as il is desirable TO
have II space for the stylus TO run in
until Ii can be removed from the rec
ord. If finishing playing. and when
starting the record II is desirable 10
place the stylus in the groove before
any of the indentations are reached.
As soon as the stylus or needle is
placed I'm the groove of the revolving
record. only slight kissing sound is
produced until the sound indentations
are reached. AS soon as the stylus
strikes these tiny instructions vibra-
tons are set up which are conducted
to the center of the diaphragm Of the
reproducer
Then Just as the ripples OF water
roll away from the spot where the
stone struck, the vibrations spread
throughout the reproducing membrane,
re-creating the original sounds. al
though in a reduced volume. The re-
volving of the record at even speed
causes the vibrations to follow each
other In their proper order.

waves are then increased, we might

the graduated sections of the tone

bringing back much of the original vol
ume. The next time your talking ma

solve the trouble quicker If you use a
little common sense and remember
about the still pool and the ripples.-

it seemed to me it was their owr
fault. that they should have
promised to pool all their whea'
IN their own elevator before
they built, and not rely on buy
ing their own wheat and nom
members wheat for cash on a
gambling basis, then they would
have had an ample volume of
business which would have en-
abled them to finally pay all
their wheat was worth in the
open market.
The criticism of the Terminal
Packing plant is that this does
not pay as much for hogs as
they get when they bring their
hogs to South st. Paul. Two
neighbors last Monday had taken
each load of even grade hogs,
one of them to the Terminal
Packing plant and the other to
South St. Paul, the latter receiv-
ing 3Oc more per 100 lbs. And
then another statement was
made that when shippers from
distant communities brought car
loads of mixed live stock con-
tanning what is called feeders
that there was no outlet or mar
ket in Newport for such. that
they were away from the regu-
lar market.
These farmers said they were
promised that if they would only
take shares in and build that
elevator and that packing plant
they would get more for their
grains and live stock. | was told
that solicitors were securing the
country for more shares to sup
port the Packing plant and that
some Of those holding shares
were offering them for half Of
what they had paid for them.
How much of that is actual facts
am not able to say but that
talk is a great handicap in the
work for getting members to the
Farm Bureau.
Another drawback is voiced as
a complaint that they have new
err seen the County Agent and
that he is no good anyway: he is
only for the big fellows. Some
say they have written or tele-
phoned for information or seed
and did not even get an answer.
This, however, in most instan-
ces. generally turns out not to
be the real facts.
One objection | met here in
Denmark township which | have
not met anywhere else was from
members Of a local farmers club.
They stated that they were adj
vised by their County Agent and
by other speakers from Still
water at their club meetings
that they should not join the
Farm Bureau. | don't think that
statement refers to the present
County Agent.

that he had been q victim of the riddle.
"Whoo! Whoo Whoo! Did you see

for all of a sudden l woke up to find
myself in the black dark. My, but l
felt queer. 1t wasn't bit like waking

heard the sounds"
What sounds?" whispered Peggy
