Although DR.. Bill was very busy
all afternoon, he found time occa-
sionally to phone DIR. Adair, and by
supper time certain doubts assailed
him again. He had been SO sure Joyce
would be released during the day.
He was op the phone again. Dr.
Adair told him. Il called Mrs. Wyatt
few minutes ago. She has heard
nothing more, and is greatly worried
about Craig. She told the kidnapers
that she wanted a written message
from Craig. stating that he was in
good condition-and she hasn't re-

It was a little past midnight, and
DR.. Bill was pacing the floor in the

Camera Fan InVents Fast
Action Shutter Attachment

Putnam M. Smith, amateur
photographer who takes most of
the pictures used in the Gazette,
has invented a fashlight photo
synchronizing device which he
hopes to sell for considerable
sum of money.
Mr.. Smith explains that most
press cameras have focal plane
type shutters, operating like a
curtain. With this type. it has
been almost impossible to syn
chronize flashlight picture so as
to obtain action pictures faster
than 1900 of a second.
Mr.. Smiths invention makes it
possible to STOP action up to
1I1000 of second, without the
use of highpowered and prohibit
lively expensive fioodlights.
The synchronizer fits on Gra-
fiex and Speedgraphic types of
cameras, the sort generally used
for press work. It is a small,
barely noticeable device.

WPA Spends
in
This County
STATE HAS RECEIVED
$S5,OG9,0OO IN FED
ERAL FUNDS

Redwood county has received
$223, 1892 in Work Progress Ad-
ministration expenditures during
the two years and five months
since the Inauguration of the
WPA program, according to re-
port released this week by Victor
Christgau, state administrator.
The figure does not include the
contributions of local sponsors.
Eighty-five million dollars has
been spent in Minnesota by the
federal government since the
WPA began, to which sponsors of
projects have added more than
$11,000,000.
Expenditures in district four,
of which Redwood county is a
part, total SIS, 498,4 APT during the
period.
WPA entered the field in Aug
ust 1885, and by the following
January reached the peak of its
employment when 64,806 workers
were on its payrolls. From that
high point, there was a gradual
decline until September 1887,
when the total fell to 1920. AS
1887 ended, WPA had 36,073
workers on its payroll, which
number will be increased to
$4,000 shortly. AS the year end
ed, approximately 1,400 projects
were in active operation.

TWO-DAY MEETING IN
FEBRUARY; WOULD
BRING EXPERTS =

Plans for a two day farmers
institute to be held in Redwood
Falls in February or early March,
arranged and supervised by the
county agents office and sponsor
ed by the Civic and Commerce
association, were rapidly taking
shape this week. tt,t
Between 500 and 1000 farmers
and their wives are expected to
attend each of four sessions to be
held mornings and afternoons of
two days. Tentative plans are to
start meetings at 10 a. m. and !
p. m. with an hour off for lunch;
At the annual meeting Of the
Civic and Commerce association
to be held soon, the proposal, will
be presented that the group fur
nish a place for the institute and
coffee and sandwiches for lunch.
Farmers from adjoining counties
as well as Redwood would be in
vited to attend. =
The new high school auditor
ium may be obtained for the
meetings and would be particul-
arly desirable because of the
seating arrangement and the loud
speaker system there.
J. /. Swedberg, county agent,
will attempt to get some of the
best talent available for such
meetings in the state, suggesting
topics of particular interest to
farmers at this time.
Miss Victoria Harris of the
federal Rural Electrification adj
ministration will be invited to
speak on electrical appliances
which is particularly timely
subject since many county farms
have just received electricity or
expect to be connected with REA
lines soon.
Among other experts in their
lines who will be asked to take
part in the program are Miss
Cora Cooke, poultry specialist;
Parker Anderson on windbreaks
w. E. Morris, a baby beef expert
and H. L. Parten, orchards and
gardens. All four are from the
University Farm at st. Paul.

At the October court session,
