Radio Club Seeks Co-opera-
tion In Eliminating
Man-Made Noise

Now that the radio season will
soon be with us again, and as thou
sands Of dollars have been invested,
both by the radio dealer and the
public, and many more thousand
will be invested this year, we would
appreciate a public expression from
our city commission as to what we
may expect from them toward elm
mating some of the interference we
are experiencing in radio reception,
The interference W. have in mind
seems to eminate either from crack

formers that seem to be centered
from the downtown section OF the
city to and including the entire
West Brownsville addition.

city and are deriving no benefit
from 1t in any way. TO all OF which
our city commissioners seem TO be
entirely indifferent.
The question now arises as to
whether the city commissioners are
going to take any steps to correct
this trouble and give the tax payers
the pleasure to be derived from ra-

Adequate reproducing equipment
is essential to that end. But there
remains a big factor TO be reckon
ed with-the acoustics OF the the
alter, which can be controlled In a
large measure. Then there Is an
other factor not so easily control
led-the audience. Patrons are COM
ing and going all the while and that
creates confusion. And some pat
rons will talk no matter how much
it disturbs their neighbors.
Defective Hearing
And finally, there are those pat
rons whose hearing Is detective.
What is perfectly clear TO normal
ears will escape them-and most OF
those patrons blame the sound re-
producing equipment. The one
person of our acquaintance who s
least sold" on sound pictures Is a
very charming lady with a great
love for the theater. But she is
entirely deaf in one ear and her
hearing is not perfect in the other
AS a result Of that, she deplores
the passing Of silent pictures and
asks over and over again why the
actors won't speak so people can un-
derstand theml The trouble is not
win the actors, not with the re-
cording, not with the reproduction
not with the acoustics. II Is her
own defective hearing. And there
are many patrons who suffer under
the same handicap-and it is not
likely that any Of them will care
much for sound pictures.

MUCHASKEDO
TALKING FILMS
Writer Says Public Expects
More of Equipment
Than Voice
By ANNA AIKEN .ATTERsON

It Is somewhat distressing TO an
exhibitor struggling with the prop
CT presentation Of sound pictures To
discover that the public expects Sc
much more Of sound reproducing
equipment than 1t expects Of the
human voice.
We doubt II anybody ever heard
every word OF any stage play. In
our own experience we've lost en-
tire sentences because a character
turned In the wrong direction, or
because Of noise in the audience, or
because the speakers voice was
pitched too low. In musical come
dies no one understands the words
OF O song sung for the first time.
Most Of us are satisfied II we catch
o particular tuneful refrain and
remember a few phrases to hum aft
or the show Is over.
Public Demands Much
But the public is not so lenient
when 1t comes to talking and sing
ing pictures. Our audiences are
critical If they miss a few words
They expect a mechanical device to
do what the flesh and blood actors
have never been able to accomplish
make every word carry distinctly
TO every member Of every audience.
That putt a heavy responsibility
on the theaters, and an equal re-
sponsibility OF the producers. The
recording must approach a state OF
perfection possible only with all the
refinementS of mechanical and
technical skill; the reproduction
must capitalize all these fine points,

There were 2,263 COWS under

with 1904 in August. The number
of cows producing 40 or more
pounds of butter fat in one month
dropped from 2S7 to 206. The lead

form of butter fat. 1t is estimated
that for feeding pigs skim milk
has a feeding value of about one
fourth that of grain. If grain is
worth SLIGO per hundred pounds
skim milk has a value of 80 to 40
cents per hundred pounds.
Lamb Feeding
How TO feed lambs in the Mid
land Empire so that maximum re-
turns will be obtained, is the OBJ
jective of feeding experiments
now being started at Huntley by
the experimental farm there and
the Montana experiment station.
Ten lots of lambs of 80 head each
are being used in the experiments.
Each lot will be fed different a.
mounts and different combina-
tions of feeds available in the
area, with Gull beans, bean straw,
beet tops and sugar factory by
products forming the basis of the
raions. Louis Vinke of the Mon
tana experiment station, Bozeman,
will direct the experiments.
The feeding period, Mr.. Vinke
explains, will last 12O days. A
field day will be held in March
at the conclusion of the period at
which time farmers and stockmen
will have an opportunity of seeing
the results obtained by the differ
ent rations. The experiments r
not so much to demonstrate that
Gull beans and sugar beet by
products r valuable fattening
because this fact is quite
generally known, Mr.. Vinke
states. 1t is not generally known,
however, which of these feeds
and what proportions of them may
be used most effectively in com
bination with other feeds avail
able in the sugar beet and bean
growing area around Billings, and
it is the purpose of the expert
ments to determine these points,
