STRANI) THEATER PROGRAM THURSDAY & FRIDAY, JANUARY 5 ami 6th—Wallace Reid, in “Double Speed.'’ t SATURDAY, JAN. 7th.—CHARLIE CHAPLIN, In “TILLIE S PUNCTUR ED ROMANCE.” “Whirlwind. VOL. XXVIII. WINDER’S WIRELESS STATION IS NOW IN OPERATION; CONCERTS RECIEVED DAILY Messrs. Page Gregory and Victor Settle Have Station That Will Reach Around The World. The wireless station erected by two of our alert and progressing young men, Page C. Gregory and Victor Set tle, is now almost complete and in op eration. Many concerts, sermons and , various news from over the United States, are received each night, and many curious and skeptical ones have et in - ’ and listened to the music and lectures. The station is not exactly perfect yet, hut with a few adjustments and attachments it will be as good as any amateur station in the country. Mr. Settle is a government licensed operator, having had ''considerable ex perience in the army and at Tech. Also Mr. Gregory, who is an electrician, has dabbled some in wireless. A News man listened to a concert which we were told was in Pittsburg, Pa., at the Westinghouse Station. Of course we believed what was told us, Wot knowing what else to believe. This is a great thing for Winder and these young men are to be congratulat ed upon their enterprise and initiative. The cost of this station will be about seven hundred dollars, and these young men installed it without hope of fee or rward, but it is customary in other towns where a wireless is installed that the parties installing it is given some help by the city and citizens. IVe have not been asked to say anything about this, but we are sure that our people will appreciate this station and any donation that you care to make to this undertaking we are sure will not be refused. Hereward Carrington, scientist and author, says that we’re so used to the miracle of the telephone that we rare ly stop to think what a‘ wonderful in vention it is. And probably not one in ten knows just how* it works. We know we can talk across hun dreds of miles of space instantaneously by means of the telephone and carry on a conversation with those at distance. We know that our words are carried by wires we see strung up on poles along country roads. Now —how much more wonderful would it be to do the same thing with out any wire at all! (Or even from a vessel in mid-ocean — talking to our friends on shore across those war res of water, as if space re ally did not exist! All this actually has been accom plished. It is only a matter of time before wireless telephones will Ik- so perfect and so plentiful, that we shall be able talk to anybody on our earth by means of them. And —who knows? —we may be able to talk to beings on another planet as well! Wireless phones work on either one or two principles: One. By means of waves set up in the ether, like wireless telegraphy. Two. By what is known as induc tion. Electric waves all travel in the ether of space—not in the air. though they also pass through the air. And all electric-Waves travel at pre cisely the same speed. This speed is the speed of light—lß6,ooo miles a second. That means that electric waves trav el seven and one-half times around our earth in one second. So time and space will be practi cally annihilated by using these waves as a medium for communication. Light waves are so small that thou sands of them go to make one inch. But wireless waves are very long—some of them are miles in length. Yet they all travel at the same speed and reach their objectives in exactly the same length of time. Wireless waves are sent out into space by means of suitable sending or transmitting apparatus and travel on ward—we do not know how far. per haps they go on forever. We cannot tell. At some spot on the earth, if they are powerful enough, they are picked up by a receiving apparatus and are changed from radio-frequency to audio frequency so they can be heard by the human ear. Electric waves cause alterations in a-local current ami these alterations in turn cause vibrations of the diaphragm of wireless telephone receivers—Just the same thing that takes place in ordi nary “wire" telephone communications. ®k Wilder Mews.

Announcemest to tins ef fect was made this week by Mr. C. C. Eskridge, the local agent at this place. The elimination of the tax will not on ly save the public a huge sum of money but will also save the express agents u huge amount of labor. Messages transmitted in this man ner have been sent great distances. On the other hand, when a local cir cuit induces an electric current cir cuit, in another circuit a short dis tance away from it —that is wireless telegraphy by “induction." This lias a very limited range. Wireless telephone experiments have been made recently in which gnat dis tances were covered. It is but a matter of a few years be fore the wireless phone will be as cheap and as simple as ordinary phones are now. Then every one of us can have a wireless telephone in his own home.

SOULE BELIEVES CREST OF BAD TIMES OVER AND 1922 WILL BE PROSPEROUS In a statement reviewing the agri cultural conditions during the past year ami commenting on the outlook for 1922, Dr. Andrew M. Soule, presi dent of tin- State College of Agricul ture, who is iu closer touch with actual farm conditions iu Georgia than any other man, and one of the best author ities in the United States, says: ‘I think the crest of the bad times we have had lias passed and 1 believe there will lie a gradual development and expansion of industry in 1922 that will prove helpful to the interests of all' our people.” “Nineteen hundred and twenty-one constituted one of the worst years in the agricultural history of Georgia. This was on account of the cxtrenYc de pression of the prices of farm commod ities and the material reduction in our normal output of cotton, due to the damage wrought by the boll weevil, the mlniinized use of fertiliser, and the un favorable climate conditions which pre vailed throughout a considerable part of the growing season,” said Dr. Soule. “In 1921 our farmers were called on to face a reduction in the aggregate value of their crops amounting to $200,000,- 000. Is it any wonder they staggered under the load of debt and responsi bility they were called on to carry? Upon the whole they faced the situation with remarkable fortitude. ‘■’Fortunatelsv/’ 'lie continued, "the cost of making the crops produced In 1921 was very small. In several re spects we have had just cause for thanks and wt should never lose sight of the bright side of the picture. Our peach crop was excellent. Our truck ami melon crops sold readily at profita ble prices. The present strengthening of the cotton mnrket is helping the gen eral situation materially. The ten dency now witnessed to emphasize an imal industries and diversify produc tion Is encouraging. We are making rapfd strides in the establishment of cheese factories and creameries, thus fostering a fundamental industry that will add millions to the revenue of our farmers in 1922. By finishing a larger percentage of animals on foot we cun provide a satisfactory market for our surplus supplies of corn and furnish our eß'es with a part of the meat which we arc now importing from oth er sections. We are short a million hogs in Georgia at present. By empha sizing crop diversification to a desira ble degree in 1922 we can add SSOO to the revenue of the average farm, keep $150,000,000 of our money at home, and checkmate the boll weevil. “The ‘live at home’ program institut ed by our farmers last year lias ena bled them to conserve their resources to a much greater degree than many thought possible, and liquidate a certain per cent of their obligations.

BUICK CARS ARE GREATLY REDUCED The new year sees a great reduction in the price of Buiek automobiles. Ev erybody knows the Buiek cars.

A large adver tisement appears in this issue of the News showing the reduced prices. This ad will prove very interesting reading to all lovers of cars Read it SUMMARY OF TAX CHANGESFORI922 Changes in tuxes that became ef fective January Ist, consisted mainly in reduction or elimination of federal taxes and in State taxes. Some of the changes of general interest are listed below: “War taxes" virtually end as far as they affect the’ ordinary purchasing public. Taxes of this nature on soft drinks, motion picture films, (not ad mission tickets > clothing, sporting goods and cosmetics no longer will add il few pennies to the eost of such ar ticles. Elimination of finlerul tuxes on rail way passenger and sleeping car fares will reduce the eost of travel approxi mately 8 per cent. The 3 per cent war tax on freight rates, and 5 per cent tax on express shipments, also are eliminated. Anew State tax which alreay has caused much discussion, and is a subject of controversy, is the grand opera tax, which becomes effective now. A levy of $2500 is made, but it lias not been de termined whether this amount is to be paid on each opera season or each grand opera performance. Hotels must pay anew Stute tux of SI.OO on eaeh room. Special State tuxes are levied on 20 occupations and businesses which hith erto paid only the general tax. They range from laundries to beauty parlors, and from pressing clubs to chiroprac tors. Special taxes hitherto levied are in creased in nearly every Instance and upon some occupations the increase is us great as 700 per cent over the old rate. The annual State tax on all ball parks and football fields is Increased from SIOO to S2OO. Tar on dance halls is increased from $25 to SIOO a year.
