One pound of Rice equals eight pounds of potatoes in food value A BILL THATSAVES MONEY Creates No New Offices Puts All County Offices on Same Basis By Making Terms of Equal Length Efficiency, more capable public officials, and reduction of expenses are the three most important ele ments to be considered when an mendment to our constitution is be fore us for initiation. The initiative measure Nos. 308 and 309 for the amendment of the constitution of the State of Oregon in the matter of increasing the term of office of certain county offi cialsthat is, county clerk, coron er, sheriff, surveyor and treasurer, if ratified by the vote of the people in the election November, 1920, will undoubtedly result in a more capable and efficient type of official will give the taxpayers less expense and will result in greater efficiency in the work o' these various offi cials. The undersigned recommend this amendment for the increasing of the term of office of aunty officials for ratification by the voters of this state for the above reasons, and be cause of the following further ad vantages which will accrue to the taxpayers of this state if this amendment is passed and becomes a part of the Constitution of the State of Oregon. Capable men will much more readily run for office when they are assured of a four year term in case they are elected, inasmuch as a two-year term mere ly means that by the end of the first year when they are beginning to get acquainted with the duties of their office they must starta cam paign for re-election, which in volves considerable expense on their part in addition to the worry and attention, and lessens their effi ciency in office. A four-year term is desirable and worth considering to such candidates who would not consider a shorter term. The passatre of such an amend ment would also lessen the expense ci election and will classify Duhli service under the same practical tenure as private business wherein competent heads of departments are rated ly their ability and effi ciency. ENDORSEMENTS This amendment is endorsed by sen w. uicott, bovernor of Oregon by Geo. M. Brown. Attornev-Genpr. al, who endorses it in the following words: "I endorse constitutional amendment fixing term of certain county officials, and esDeciallv as it relates to the clerk and sheriff. I do so for the reason that it is in the interest of well trained public officials." Also by Sam A. Kcser, Secretary of State "I am heartily in favor of proposed amendment extending the terms of county clerks and treasurers to four years. The term of office at present is hardly of sufficient duration to en able an official to acquaint hirme'f with the dutiei thereof before he must seek re-election. A longer term, to my mind, tends toward the more efficient performance of the duties of the office by those whom the people select therefor." This amendment is also endorsed by Conrad P. Olson, Eugene Brook ings, snd many others.

WHY Phonograph Gives Us Such Faithful Reproduction Few people know why It la nosaihle to reproduce the vocal or Instrumental art of a great artist with the faithful ness of the modern phonograph. Id the first place. It should he rem bered that sound waves gradually dl mlnlsh Id volume If released In a large space of air, Just as the ripples caused by tossing a pebble into a still tiool gradually become smaller. The "record" consists of One loin groove having Indentations of varvlnt sizes Id It to represent' the sound waves to be reproduced. These small Indentations are either In the bottom sides of the groove. At the begin ning and end of the groove there are Do Indentations, as It Is desirable to have a space for the stylus to run Id until it can be removed from the rec ord, If finishing ploying, and when starting the record It Is desirable to place the stylus In the groove before any of the Indentations are reached. kiHin us "the iijlus or nt-nlle In pluo-d In the groove of the revolving record, only a alight hissing sound l produced until the sound Indcutulloiia ire reuched. As soon as the stylus strikes these tiny olistructluna vibra tions are set up which are conducted to the center of the diaphragm of the reproducer. Then Jimt as tint ripples of water roll awny from the spot where the stone struck, the vibrations spread throughout the reproducing membrane, re-creating the original sounds, al though In a reduced volume. The re volving of the record it even imh1 causes the vlbrutloni to follow each other In their proper order. llie diaphragm must be of absolutm ly even graduations or "blusty" repro duction will result. As the sound waves are then Increased, we mlirlit say "transformed," by passing through me grauuuted sections of the tone nrm. As the size of the tone arm In creases the sound waves expand, thus bringing hack much of the original vol ume. The nczt time your "talking ma chine" does not work well you can solve the trouble quicker If vou use little common sense and remember ahout the still pool and the ripples, New York Tost.
