Jackson continues to grow, both in
population and building. New people
are moving into the capital city be-
cause of its educational and religious
advantages, and others are locating
here because OF its business location,
and splendid railroad facilities. New
residences and business blocks are go
ing up all over town, and a new hotel
with 124 rooms has just opened to the
public. Another Jackson hotel is to
make a million dollar addition to its
already large building.

LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success
in Wireless Transmission of
Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported to
have met with more or less success in
developing a method of transferring
motion pictures by radio. Some
months ago photograph was trans
ferred by wireless from the Copen-
haSen newspaper, the Politiken, to Eng
lid, and later from England to ship
in mid Atlantic, so that the POSSIBLE
ity of linking the movies with the new
art is not remote.
II perfected the new development of
the already versatile art will make 1t
possible for one to see on his own re-
ceiving instrument things that are hap
pening Mt q great distance. For
instance, a ship is sinking at sea. The
transmitting station of the vessel, In
stead of sending a message of the dis
aster, sends a picture that anyone with
receiving set will be able to see just
as the present broadcasting programs
are heard.
That all sounds remote now, but
the telephone was considered even
more so, and the wireless, even after
Marconi's immortal message had
bridged the Atlantic, was generally be
lieved to be akin to the idea of per
petual motion

ADVERTISING FARM
PRODUCTS

Can farmers probably advertise
their products?
The answer is that farmers are adj
yertising successfully. Here and there
where they have joined together to
advertise their products, farmers are
selling all they can produce. They in
crease their production from year to
year and still there is demand for
their products.
Notable examples of successful
farmer cooperative advertisers are the
California Fruit Growers exchange,
California Prune & Apricot Growers,
Citrus Fruit Growers of Florida, Dairy
mems League of New York, and others.
Breeders of purebred stock fully
appreciate the value of advertising,
especially when they have a sale COM
ing along.
The public in general knows very
little about farm products, or what
they mean in the life and welfare OF
the nation. They do not realize the
predIcament of the farmers at the
present time. Foods are still COM
manding rather high prices and the
average layman thinks the farmer Is
to blame and is getting most of the
money. They still think OF war days
when world demand and war condi-
tions sent wheat up to $500; and as
long as food prices remain high, the
public will still think of that $500
wheat, unless the farmers tell their
own story In their own way through
the advertising pages of the press.
The one way that the farmers can
be sure that their story Is told as
they would have 1t told--the honest
facts only--is to tell It In space
bought and paid for by themselves
One reason why the farmer has not
been thought of as an advertiser is
that advertising is commonly looked at
in the wrong way. A very common
mistake about 1t is to think that adj
vertising primarily is an effort to sell
something; that's what most people
think about 1t. Advertising, II 1t Is
well done, does produce sales, but
sales, while they are the result of adj
vertising, are not in one sense Its
primary object, because folks buy
things either from need or from
choice; and the one thing that de
termines what they buy Is the idea
| that is in thssr minds about 1t.
The real primary purpose of adj
vertising is to put into peoples minds
those Ideas about things you want to
sell that will make them want to buy.
| IL advertising does this they will buy

ducers just as manufacturers of
shoes, or clothes, or automobiles are
producers. But your merchandise Is
different in many ways from that of
the manufacturer. You seldom manu-
facture the finished product. You
produce the materials of food which
some one else prepares for use. For
the most part you do not come in
touch with the final market-the con-
sumner. Nevertheless the consumer is
the one you must ultimately reach and
educate and sell, to increase the con-
sumption of your products.
Advertising has been defined as the
"art of making known'--a very good
definition. The first question to ask
when you begin to consider advertis-
ing is--what do you want to make
known? Farmers can make known the
merits of their products, and cultivate
by advertising a larger consumption
of them.

HOW AMATEUR CAN
BUILD "A RECEIVER
Instructions for Setting Up the
Antenna and for Assembling
the Tuner.

In order to pick up sufficient energy
with the simple radio receiving set
1t Is necessary to connect one termi-
nal to an antenna consisting of one or
more wires suspended In the air and
insulated from all grounded material
and the other terminal to a ground,
usually the water supply pipe. The
height of an antenna used with
small receiver should not be less than
30 feet. AS the received energy va
ries directly as the height of an anten-
na, the higher the antenna the louder
will be the signals or voice produced.
The length of an antenna for short
wave reception should not be less than
so feet nor should 1t be longer than
200 feet. The minimum wave length
to which simple receiver can be
adjusted for electrical resonance will
be above that used by amateurs If
the receiver be connected to an an
tenna 200 feet or more in length.
A simple radiophone receiver cap
able of picking up radiophone sta
tions similar to KDKA at East Pitts
burgh, can be assembled by novice
for from 81 to SIS, depending upon
the builders ability to use his hands.
II the builder will construct most of
his apparatus he will appreciate it
much more and probably will under
stand more about its operation than
If he buys a set already made. How
ever, for those who have not the abil-
lily or the time to spend constructing
their own apparatus the following de-
scription will not only give the details
as to the construction of each COM
ponent part of a receiver but also
what standard ready-made parts can
be purchased and used In Its stead.
The material can be purchased at
any electrical supply store.
In erecting simple antenna for
use with the receiver shown In the
diagram, the antenna proper and the
lead-in are of stranded hard-drawn
copper wire, strand No %, costing
about / cent per foot. The two insu.
lators are of nodded material and can
be purchased for about % cents each.
Inc antenna SHOWN Is supporter De
tween a house and pole. 1t may be
found more convenient to- support II
between a tree and house, two houses
or even between two chimneys on
the same house. In bringing down the
lead-in care should be taken that II
Is kept as far away from grounded
material as possible and when bring.
ing through the wall or under the win.
dow into the house 1t should be brought
through some sort of an insulating
tube, such as rubber or bakelite.
Inamaking the ground connection
the same kind of wire can be used as
was purchased for the antenna. You
can clean section Of the waterpipe
thoroughly and solder the ground wire
&c 1t.

No. % D. G. @. wire within one-half
inch Of the other end Of the tube.
Fasten one end Of the winding to the
tube but allow some surplus wire on
the other end for making connec-
ton. After the winding is In place
give 1t coat Of shellac or varnish
to hold the turns in place. Assemble
the circular-cut pieces of wood in the
geometrical center of the square
blocks and then shellac or varnish
them for the appearances sake.
When thoroughly dry slip the two
end blocks into the wound tube and
by means of few finishing brads
driven through the cardboard tube,
fasten the end blocks to the wound
tube. The slider is to be mounted
on top of the coil and should be cap
able CT making contact with any turn
of the wire on the tube. In order TO
remove the insulation from the wire
JUST under the rod where the slider
moves back and forth, wrap piece Of
sandpaper around thin piece of
wood and using another piece of wood
as a guide, sandpaper the insulation
from the winding. Drill a hole one
eighth inch in diameter through the
slider rod about one-fourth inch in
from each end so that the rod can
be fastened by screws to the end
blocks. After the slider rod is fastened
In place see that the contact finger
on the bottom of the slider can at all
times make good contact with the
winding. Mount binding post on
either end of the coil, attaching one
by means of wire to the slider rod
and the other to the end of the wire
wound on the tube and the tuner Is
complete. A tuner can be purchased
already assembled for about $3.50 to
| $500.

MANY INTERESTED IN RADIO
Government is Sending Out Market
News From Various Points by
Means of New Service.

Agriculture Is vitality interested In
the development of radio and I'M
doubtedly large portion Of the radio
equipment now Is found on farms.
The government is sending out radio
market news from various points and
is contemplating the extension of this
service. In order TO make 1t success
full, however, rules and regulations
concerning the ether, including legal
definitions, must be promulgated for
the benefit of all concerned. To date
radio associations or clubs have been
formed In many communities, the
main purpose OF which is to study
radio. These also act as self-regulat-
ing bodies and endeavor to protect
the members from those persons who
are inclined to "hog the air."
The Farm Radio" clubs composed
Of boys and girls are growing in mem
bership rapidly throughout the eoun-
try and afford instruction and amuse-
ment and offer great opportunities for
the early reception of market news,
and other valuable information.
Weather crop and market reports are
now broadcast by radio telegraphy
and radiophone stations Of the Post
Office department. Daily market re-
ports on live stock, grain, cotton, hay,
food. fruits and vegetable markets
are broadcast over virtually the entire
United States. A farmer located al
most anywhere can receive them
either direct or with the assistance
Of amateur operators. A number Of
state bureaus Of markets and agricul-
tural colleges are also broadcasting
both local and national market and
crop reports by radio telegraphy and
radiophone.

operation with farmers and authorities
on dairy marketing, has attempted to
formulate plan that will make pos
sible a pooling of interests for dairy
farmers.
"We have a peculiar situation to
deal with In this territory as well as
in other dairying districts" said Mr..
Heaton. almost all the farmers who
produce milk for sale want to sell it
as whole milk, in order to eliminate
the labor and machinery necessary to
separate the cream, and feed the skim
milk to hogs on their farms. In the
Dairymen's league territory In New
York and the Twin Cities association
at st. Paul, dairymen are taking their
whole milk to central skimming sta
lions to be separated The cream is
sold and the skim milk is made into
powdered milk, used In making ice
cream. Some dairymen sell the whole
milk and buy powdered milk to feed to
their calves. A greater use for pow.
dered milk is expected to be developed
so that less skim milk viii have to be
poured into sewers.

TIPS TO THE RADIoIsT
A crystal detector cannot be
satisfactorily amplified.

A crystal detector cannot be
satisfactorily amplified.
Insulate ends of aerial wires
with several small insulators.
Wherever possible run aerial
wires at right angles to electric
light wires.
The lead wire should be the
size of the combined number of
wires in the aerial.
Gas piping makes a poor
ground, but the cold water pipe
ground is excellent.
A crystal deteetor is never as
efficient as vacuum tube detec-
tor no matter what instruments
are connected to 1t.
Within three to five miles from
broadcasting station indoor
one wire aerials about 40 feet
long stretched from room to
room, are generally satisfactory
with crystal detectors.

NOT EASY TO TRACE ROSARY
Probabilities, However, Are That It
First Was Brought Into Use In
Arabia or Egypt.

It Is not at all likely, think, that
the use of prayer beads originated in
Arabia or Egypt. 1t is to India that
we must go for the home of this rellg-
ious device-lndia, 'the mother of re-
ligions," the land where the gods out
number the people and where the
people carry their zeal to the point
of intoxication. There Is convincing
evidence that the rosary existed in
India long before 1t appeared in other
parts of the world. At some remote
PERIOD when the Vedas were still in
vogue, the circlet Of jewels or beads
arose as means of promoting medi-
tation and registering meritorious
acts. 1t may be seen In multifarious
coils about the necks Of the gurus Of
today, Cornelius H. Patton writes in
Asia Magazine
Starting from India, we may clearly
trace the spread of the rosary to the
Buddhists of CeylOn, Burma and Siam,
known as the Southern school, and
especially to Tibet, where in Lama
Ism the faith Of Gautama reached its
lowest level, and whence the rosary,
along with other customs, spread to
China, Korea and Japan.
The MOhammedans may easily have
taken over the rosary through their
contacts with India, or else, as seems
more likely, they learned its use from
hermits and monks Of the Eastern or
Greek church through their earlier
contacts in Palestine, Syria and north.
ern Africa. The oriental Christians,
In turn may have taken over the de
vice from the Indians by way of Per-
sia and the caravan routes of the
East. If we could say with certainty
that the Roman church borrowed the
idea from the successors of Mahomet
during the Crusades, the claim Of de-
velopment would be logical and com
plete.
We must not rule out, however, the
possibility that this aid to prayer
sprang up spontaneously in different
parts of the earth, under the pressure
of the need of the human heart,
everywhere the same. My own opin-
ion was adopted both imitatively and
spontaneously. Throughout the Bud
dhst world it was clearly copied from
India. In the Christian and Moham-
medan worlds 1t appears to have had
an independent origin, but to have
owed somewhat to the borrowing
process incident to travel and trade.
