Edison week will be celebrated
October 21 to 27. The custom of
celebrating the anniversary of the in
vention of the incandescent lteht hv
paying honor to the inventive renins
of Thomas A. Edison, the father of
the electric light, will be again car
ried out this year. More than a
million men and women are emly-
eo. in me vast industries built upon
and around Edison Invention. This
custom began when a group of the
Edison industries determined to ob
serve October 21, and some years
later other industries Joined in the
yearly celebration. A few years ago
it was decided to devote a week to
the celebration and since then Edison
Week has been observed throughout
the country.
A greater number of persons will
celebrate this year due to the re
markable success attneding the re
search work of Mr. Edison during the
last year. Chemicals which America
found herself cut off from due to the
war embargo placed upon materials
from Europe, produced a grave prob
lem in many big plants of the United
States. Substitutes had to be found
to take the place of ingredients no
longer obtained from Europe. This
state of affairs was brought to the in
ventor's attention as things became
critical. It was most vital that some
thing be done. Mr. Edison took mat
ters in hand. He began his research
work at the Edison Laboratories with
ithe sole purpose of finding in this
.country the necessary ingredients or
, substitutes, that were so ' urgently
needed in the industrial world. Again
Mr. Edison demonstrated his sticka
tiveness and tenacity of purpose

would surround almost superhuman j
difficulties. Thousands of men today
are employed In the production of
chemicals that are now produced by
Thomas A. Edison in sufficient quan
tities to be of great service commer
cially. j
For the last few months the United
States has been feeling the effects of
the Edison research work in the re
lief afforded many plants that are
now securing ingredients necessary
in manufacture which formerly came
from Europe. It was characteristic ,
of Mr. Edison to withhold the an
nouncement of his wonderful success
until the situation was well in hand.
It was thus when a few months ago
surrounded by five hundred Edison
phonograph dealers who called upon '
him at his laboratories in Orange, j
New jersey, he made a simple an
nouncement of hi remarkable re
search work. The cheers that greet
ed his words were echoed in thou
sands of big industrial plants the
following day when the newspaper
accounts of Mr. Edison's success were
cabled around the world.
! Several weeks ago Mr. Edison's
work for the United States was ln-
terrupted for a few minutes while his
i associates reminded him that a hun-
dred men from every section of the
wuui.1; iu ilia uurary waning 10
present him with a gold medal cele
brating the fortieth anniversary of
the Invention of the dictating ma
chine. Not a day goes by that does
not bring to mind halt a doien inven
tions that came into life upon that
date through the genius of this in
ventor. Three years ago, havng completed
his work on the storage battery, Mr.
Edison decided that he would try to
develop a means of recording and re
producing sound which would make
the reproduction so true to life that
it could not be told from the orig
inal. It proved to be the longest and
most costly research work ever un
dertaken by Mr. Edison. Three mill
ion dollars were spent in exDeriment
al work alone and these experiments
were not completed until last year.
Not satisfied with his own as well
as his associates' approval of the lit
eral reproduction of the human voice
on the New- Edison, Mr. Edison in
sisted that it be given an acid test,
before the American public. It was
at Mr. Edison's direct order that the
artist stood beside the new Edison
and sang in drect comparison with
the Re-Creation. Then followed that
series of remarkable tone tests which
still continue in the shrines of music
in all parts of the United States. One
million music lovers have attended
concerts since then and listened to
the living artist sine in direct com.
parison with the Re-Creation of his
voice.
The giving artist standing beside
the phonograph and singing in direct
comparison with the re-creation of his
voice proved that Mr. Edison had ac
tually discovered the way of literal
voice reproduction. A new method
of musical entertainment known as
the tone test concert is today strong
ly endorsed In all the important
music centers of the United States
Metropolitan Opera singers are being
booked for months ahead this coming
season, proud to stand before an au
dience of music lovers and sine in
direct comparison with Edison's re
creation of their voices.
For the first time in the history of
music vast audiences have gathered
to listen to noted artists sing in di
rect comparison with their Re-Crea
ted voices on the New Edison Phono
graph. Music critics of . more than
five hundred leading newspapers of
the United States have written ac
counts of these concerts. Because of
the unusual interest shown In these
recitals a number of newspaper criti
cisms have been collected in a book
One of the events of Edison Week
will be a contest for $2000 in prizes
which will be awarded to the non
professional ad-writers and other
amateurs in this field who have form
ally entered the contest to try their
hand at patch-work ad writing the
patch-work ads being mado up of
sentences taken from different criti
ques contained in the collection bear-
ing upon Edison Tone Tests.
Mr. Ocscar Otto, Edison dealer, of
Heppner a few days ago, publicly in
vited music tovers to this city
enter this contest, which closes Octo
ber 27. Mr. Otto last night said that
several hundred contestants have en
tered from this city. The prizes will
be made up as follows: $1,000 cash
for the best patch-work advertise
ment;. $500 cash for the second best;
$250 cash for the 'third best; $100

I unique, is that adopted by John

i the vicinity of Parkers Mill. Boyd
j recently purchased two small burros
and a buckboard to move the vwood
into town. Imagine the surprise of
many people Saturday when , the
wood-cutter and his mules came in
with a cord and three quarters of
wood on the buckboard.
