OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCERDINGS MAKING MULTITUDES HEAR There has been much interest during the last few months in the successful experiments carried for the transmission of the human voice over great distances to many ears. It will be remembered that President Harding’s Armistice Day talk was heard by upwards of 100,000 persons, some in Waghington and some 8,000 miles away, in Sa Francisco. . In our own state of Minnesota some remark- able examples along this line have taken place ,and still more wonderful demonstrations are under way. - At the present time, Dunwoody Institute, down at Minneapolis, is installing a wireless send- ing apparatus more powerful than ever before set up in the state. By means of this apparatus, says Dr. C. A. Prosser, head of Dunwoody, the trans- mission of wireless messages is made possible with a distinctness and certainty never heretofore ex- perienced. By attaching to the wireless receiving station an improved amplifier, you have completed everything necessary to bring sound waves over hundreds of miles. So successful appears the new improvements that the St. Paul Association is arranging to have towns throughout the state establish receiving stations, that the recitals given on the great organ in the St. Paul auditorium may be carried to persons who ‘would never be able to hear these mighty melodies, except for this arrangement. : . Then there is the practical side to these new mar- * vels. It long has been Dr. Prosser’s dream to sup- ply _the mewspapers of the state with a wireless bulletin’ service, presenting to them items of news, . market and weather reports. He would go still a step further and have the farmers establish. re- ceiving stations (they are not expensive) so that they might be protected on market quotations and weather changes. ‘There are some obstacles yet to overcome so far as wireless reports are made practicable to the newspapers, but the day ap- proaches when it may be that the news now sent over copper wires will go hurtling through space, untampered by storm or flood. Likewise, with the new improvements come prom- jses of revived and intensified interest in public - talks by prominent men. Electrical engineers have said there is hardly a limit to the number of per- sons in all parts of the continent, who can be made to hear. Think of the candidates for governor, for .instance, delivering their keynote speech, not in ‘any one town to be reproduced later iv_: the'news‘ papers, but sitting in a little room, in his office, or at his home, and speaking to every town in the state, simultaneously. . They say that science has made more progress in the last 30 years than all the progress made in all the time before since the sun came up for the first time over the eastern horizon. Middle-aged folks who look back at what has been done, believe =—and expect more. N : > B DRAINING RED LAKE Widespread interest is manifest over the proposi- tion to lower and control the waters of Red Lake and streams flowing into it. ‘Without going into the merits or demerits of this project, well known to our people, it is inspiring to note the comment coming in some instances from unexpected quarters as to the value of Beltrami county soil and future agricultural possibilties of this district. 5 In this connection, a communication from B. A. Stewart of Lidgerwood, N. D., to the newspapers is Mr. Stewart calls attention to the errone- ous impressions of persons who labor under the im- pression ‘that there is a “terrible tamarack swamp north of Red Lake to the Lake ‘of the Woods.” Mr. Stewart points out that this is not true and says: “If these persons are S0 interested in the drain- age project, why were they not at the Thief River Falls meeting. I was there and they were not, al- though I am writing this from North Dakota, my home is seyen miles from Red Lake and in order to attend this meeting I traveled-140 miles; 40 of it I walked through unbeaten not in<favor of any more taxes myself, so, there- ™~ fore, I atténded the meeting to learn.the true state of affairs. After I saw and heard these things ex- plained by map, and mouth and saw the benefit that thousands would receive,:I was in:favor. of it, although my own land would be but little bene- fited. ? “These people who talk about the:‘terrible tam- arack swamp’ had better go see what it looks like. 1 saw last fall hundreds of acres of potatoes there, that went 200 bushels to the acre; oats, 42; wheat, 25 and 30. And do you know that this ‘terrible swamp’ (Beltrami county) took the prize at the Minnesota state fair last September for the best display of grain and vegetables?” Mr. Stewart has made several points and not the least of them is that even unto this day there are people living ip Minnesota, who are unaware of the _bountepus character of the soil in nearly every part of Beltrami county. It the drainage project proposition did nothing else, it would serve a good purpose in getting the eyes of the public open to the splendid natural ad- vantages which present themselves in this part of Minnesots, advantages not excelled in any other locality. § s A ROSY PICTURE W. C. Coffey, dean of the Minnesota Agricul- tural college, paints a rosy picture of the old apple tree. Says the dean: When I was a lad my father did not have a bearing orchard, but my grand- father, who lived little more than a mile away, had a splendid one. For me there are many memories centered in that dear old orchard. I believe I would still be able to go to the spot where the “Sweet June” tree stood; I recall the row of Mor- ris trees that yielded such good cider ap- ples; I taste again the “Rainbows” which the over-zealous darkey called the “King of Beasts,” and I can almost see again the loads of little apples on the Jenet trees whose fruit held out the prospect of deli- cious, juicy eating. apples while story- telling was to be in progress before our great fireplace on winter nights. It does sound sort of satisfying, doesn’t it? The best part of it is that apples may be grown in almost-any part-of Minnesota, Everyon¢ knows - that-they cah be raised in southern ‘and central Minnesota but, as usual, not everyone knows that there_aré apple and plum trees on. the shares of Lake ‘Bemidji or that Bert Sabin, 18 miles north of Brainerd has -developed -such splendid apple . trees as to attract state wide attention of horti- culturists. - A few apple trees, cither in town or on the farm, surely are worth while and nowhere have they such flavor and excellence as in Northern Min- nesota. v § - FLOOD OF .LETTERS The Indiana Farmer's Guide discussing the St. Lawrence improvement declares “that every farm- er and business man in Indiana and the surround- ing states should be vitally interested in this. The best way to get action’is for every person inter- ested to writc a letter to his congressman express- ing himself in no uncertain terms. "A‘flood of let- ters of this kind will quickly help congtessmen to decide how they would vote. Now is the time for action.” . §—m—— ° We are waiting for the verdict when a jury of women tries the case of the ice man who tracks over a newly scrubbed kitchen floor. s b Speaking of flivvers, a Brainerd man carries a sign painted on his spare tires, which reads: “Here goes another puddle jumper.” $ Only 70 days until the Bemidji golf course will begin to wonder why they don’t use a plow in- stead of a golf stick.
