“What Phonograph
Shall I Buy?”
How many times, when the subject of purchasing a
phonograph or talking machine has come up, have
you asked youndf that question?
Edison has made it so that you do not even have
to answer the question for yourself because the Edison
tone test answers it foryou.
If you knew that any one sounckepcoducmg in-
vention had a distinct advantage over , all others,
undoubtedly you would purchase that one.
The Edison Tone Test has proved that
^NEV EDISON
"Tht Mmwtrmpk milk m W”
is distinctive from all other sound-
reproducing inventions, because it is
the only one that Re-creates the
singer's voice so faithfully that the
hiugan ear cannot distinguish the
rendition of the artist from that of
the New Edison.
Parhaps you will take that state-
ment “with a grain of salt.” If so,
we will gladly welcome an oppor-
tunity to convince you.

As county chairman of the Woman’s

resentatives from the women’s clubs

Since begining the real work of the
W'oman’s Committee, I find from the
questions asked that a large per cent
of our women are not familiar with
the object and purposes of the organ-
ization, therefore, for the Information
of those who do not know, I will en-
deavor to make plain what the Coun-
cil of National Defense is, how the
Woman’s Committee was created, the
need for it, the work expected, etc.:
The National Council of Defense is
a special war service body to conduct
ail necessary war activities, and con-
sists of the United States Secretaries
of War, Navy, Interior, Agriculture,
Labor and Commerce, and advisory
commissions.
The National Council of Defense,
realizing the need of woman’s assist-
ance in certain departments of war
work, created the Woman’s Commit-
tee, National Council of Defense, to
take the guidance of all war activities
of women, to try to correlate them
that they should be of real service to
the government, along the lines the
government recognizes as most ser-
viceable, to conserve time and labor
by the prevention of overlapping en-
deavor, etc. The Woman’s' Commit
t^e acts as the mouthpiece of the gov-
ernment to all women’s organizations.
The National Council created a cen-
tral committee of ten women, With
headquarters in Washington. These
in turn appointed « chairman in each
state, whosf duty it was to organise
each state. With her is & council com-
posed of the presidents of all women’s
organisations that have a statewide
organization. A chairman for each
codnty was also appointed. The duty
of the county chairman ~ls to organize
a county unit, appoint a chairman for
each department of government work,
to organise school districts and neigh-
borhoods in the county for the purpose
of pushing the work throughout the
county. The departments of work as
signed for county units are: Food
conservation, Americanization, protec-
tion of children, protection of women
in industry, Liberty loan, thrift stamp,
maintenance of existing social service
agencies, education In patriotism,
fegu&rding of moral aad spiritual
forces, and Red Cross work. Each de-
partment is expected to stand ready
to nerve the government from time
gather up and report in good form re-
sults of all war defense work in the
county, together with local conditions.
Each department chairman is required
to do this work for her department.
In the Woman’s Committee, reports
sent in by the chairman of the sev-
eral departments, Parker county wo-
men will get full credit for the work
they do. While wq know our women
are actuated by nobler purposes and
higher ideals than the mere achieve-
ment of glory or fame, still it is only
right that honor be given where hon
or is due.
I want to make it quite clear that
the functions of the woman’s commit-
tee is not to create new activities in
war defense work, unless absolutely
necessary. The real aim of the county
unit is to co-ordinate all women’s ac
tivities In the county and so organize
that we will be able to answer the
call of the government for any line
of woman’s work, as the need arises.
The work of the Parker county unit
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
School districts and neighborhoods
will be organized for efficient service
Membership in the county unit is free
—no dues are charged. Every woman
in the county doing war work of any
kind is invited and expected to be-
come a member of the county unit.
Phone the membership chairman, or
some member of her committee to en-
roll your name. Do not wait for the
committed to phone you.

An American Aviation Base, Some-

pondence)—The feat of two American
aviators in rescuing the .crew, of a
British seBpiane which had been forc-
ed to land on the surface of the North
Sea after ag encounter with a group
of German airplanes, received men-
tion this week in a British commun-
ique. The official statement, however,
said only: I
“In one case a stray bullet shot
away a”control, and the British ma*
chine was forced to alight. The crew
were subsequently rescued by another
British seaplane, which bad been sent
to search for them.”
The rescuing machine was manned
by Ensigns Benjamin Lee and J. J.
Schieffelin, of the American naval avi-
ation service. Ensign Lee gaye the..

count of the flight: ,
“Our commanding officer and two
men left the station at 3:30 in the
morning on a flight toward the Dutch
coast. Shortly after sunrise they saw
on the horizon, five spots which rap-
idly assumed the outlines of German
seaplanes.
“Five to one is hardly a fight, so
the commanding officer, after a first
diving charge through the ehemy*s for-
mation; shoved down the nose of his
plane and headed homeward. His two
men fired sharply from the. after guns,
forcing the German scouts to keep
their distance. They were getting
away all right, even leading the ene-
my into dangerous territory, when
suddenly a chance Bhot from one of
the Germans took away a control and
the flying boat crashed nose down.
The three men fought clear of the
wreckage and got hold of a floating
spar, while the Germans, realizing
that they were In dangerous country,
scooted away homeward.
“It was four hours later, when the
patrol was long overdue, that we were
sent out to search for them. We
searched the horizon as we Speeded
along eastward, covering, at the vis-
ibility, a band about twenty miles
wide. Finally one of us picked up a
black speck, which soon grew Into a
piece of wreckage with three men on
it.
‘Dropping our bombs at a safe dis-
tance, we throttled down our motors
and landed near the crashed seaplane.
It war a delicate operation, but we
managed to taxi over to the wreckage
and pick off the men, meanwhile send-
ing back the good news by wireless.

ing officer had to make oh his experi-
ence was: ‘What’s a ducking? Just

The Texas County Exhibitor's As-

nouncement of its President, O. H.
Loyd, of Vega, expects to have six-
ty county exhibits in the Agricultu-
ral department this year.
An exhibit at the State Fair of
Texas ia a profitable investment.
It is also a patriotic privilege that
our agriculturalists and horticultur-
ists are going to take advantage of
in greatly increased numbers this
year, according to Mr. Loyd.
To win the war, men armed- with
hoes aad rakes, and driving plows
and tractors are as Important as
men with rifles and grenades, or op-
erating tanks. Foods, as well as
fighting men and funds, must he
produced In Increased quantities In
order to win this great struggle for
world freedom.
The State Fair of Texas offers
wonderful opportunity for Instruc-
tion, for the exchange of ideas, for
the spread of new methods and bet-
ter ways of doing things on the
form. Yt Is the greatest two weeks

able anywhere.
