U. conven tion met at Page Wednesday, August 2<>th, with a large delegation both from Atkinson and O’Neill attending. A splendid program was enjoyed by all. Luncheon and dinner was served to delegates and visitors by the Page union. The annual address was de livered by County President Mrs. E. Harris in her usual pleasing manner, subject, “Keeping Abreast With the Times.’ She said, The success of this organization has been brought about by keeping up with the times and through the ability of our leader to see far into the future. The W. C. T. U. pioneers living tcday owe much of their present vigor to their interest in matters outside themselves, outside their homes. They have not vegetat ed. They have not sat at home and thought about their aches and pains, their troubles and grievances. They have thought of others and have given of their energy in service to the community. Now in their old age they have the physical and mental vigor to enjoy the results of that service. While other women who sat behind the family stove and led se dentary, narrow, introspective lives have yielded to ailments of middle age. The county officers elected for the new year are: President, Mrs. Mae Martin, O’Neill; Secretary, Mrs. Kate Kirkland, Atkinson; Treasurer, Mrs. Etta Bressler, O’Neill. *** GET AT THE CAUSE! Many O’Neill Polks Are Showing How 1 o Avoid Needless Suffering. There’s nothing more annoying than kidney weakness or inability to prop erly control the kidney secretions. Night and day alike, the sufferer is tormented and what with the burning and scalding, the attendant backache, headache and dizziness, life is indeed a burden, Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys—have brought peace and comfort to many O’Neill people. Profit by this O’Neill resi dent’s experience: M. H. Hayden, prop, of grocery store, says: “I had a dull, nagging pain across my kidneys and when bending sharp, severe pains darted through the small of my back. Morn ings my muscles seemed to be sore and lame and backache made me feel irritable and lame all over. My kid neys acted so often I was up during the night to pass the secretions. Doan’s Pills corrected the trouble. 60c. at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. : Outdoor Aerial Should Be Grounded With the coming of summer weat ier, all users of radio receiving sets should provide their aerials with a suitable switch for grounding when not In use. Any conductor of electricity Insulated from the ground wSi, <n certain kinds of weather, accumulate a charge of static electricity and discharge Into the ground or any neutral body at the first opportunity. In times of thunderstorms this charge 's more severe and becomes a real men ace to the receiving set If not properly grounded. On the other hand, the serial, If leading to ground through a switch, is a genuine protection to the property. An ordinary single-pole, double throw switch, of a size depending upon ’lie size of the aerial, should be placed outside the building at the point where lie lead-in enters. The aerial Is con nected to the middle post of the switch, snd the ground and receiving set to the two outside posts, respectively. During a storm, or when not In use, the switch should then be left In the grounded po sition.—The Chiropractor and Clinical Journal. The Small Condenser Can Be Made of Wire Grid condensers and other small con densers can be quickly made by leaving the Insulation on the wires and twist ing them together like In making a regular soldered joint. The longer the splice the greater the capacity of lhe condenser. The capacity of these con densers can be made of any value by connecting them In series and parallel In different combinations. These condensers are very compact and w hen wrapped with a piece of tape they will stand the hardest kind of rough usage. Weapon* of Warfare of American Indian* Though some Indians were more proficient at it than others, and the methods of some tribes were more ad vanced than those of others, there was very little secret about the mak ing of warlike Implements, und all the Indians knew how. Flints and similar stones were used not so much because of their hardness as for the reason they coulu be flaked off and fashioned into desired shapes as arrow, lance, spear or harpoon heads, knives, saws or scrapers. The flint was to be found In open fields, bowlder beds and else where, and the tribes camped occa sionally near the larger supplies to break off with rocks or hammers the quantities and sizes of flint chips needed. These were carried home, to be flaked off and worked into shape with the nld of sharp-pointed Imple ments of bone. The waste and refuse of the process, as well as the tools employed In It, have often been found on the sites of early Indian dwellings. The products of this primitive indus try range in size from tiny arrow tips to ceremonial spear heads more than a foot long.—Cleveland Plain-Dealer. do yolTget the point? Fair Voter—I wouldn’t care to oc cupy the President’s chair—it’s too uneasy a seat for me. He—Yes; It’s scarcely possible to sit In It without being annoyed by the tax. ' j. " - -. Says Her Baby Cries for Radio, Then More Babies now cry for radio. The new national pastime has Invaded the nurs ery, and many mothers are adopting radio waves as pacifiers. A mother of six children, the oldest eleven years old, writes WGY, the Schenectady broadcasting station, that her youngest child, aged fourteen months, Is already a fan. Mrs. Robert Barber of Rensse laer, N. Y., writes as follows: “I wonder If it would Interest you to know that I think I have the young est radio listener. My baby is four teen months old and she walks to the desk where I have my crystal set and points for me to open It. When there t* anything she sits with the ear phones Just as nice as any large per son, but as soon as It stops she takes off the phones and starts to scold for ■tore, “I have six children and they all like to listen. I have two Bets of phones and they separate them.’’ Prince Takes Up Radio. H. R. H. the Prince of Wales has taken up radio. His Radio UlgbmMfc Hints to Amateurs Who Wind Their Own Here Is a hint for those amateurs who “wind their own’’ colls for vario couplers, variometers, etc., on card board tubes. We have all been warned time and again regarding the ill ef fects following the shellacking of such colls to keep the wire In place after It Is wound, the said 111 effects being capacity or a condenser-like action be tween the wire and the shellacked covering, .which causes a certain de gree of choking ef the signals. This difficulty was overcome In the following way: The cardboard tubes are thoroughly dried in a warm oven and then given a coat of shellac both Inside and out. As soon as this has dried the outside Is given another coat. This should leave the surface quite glossy. The wire Is then wound In the usual manner, the ends being secured through holes in the edges of the tube. The wire is then "painted” with wood alcohol, which the covering absorbs greedily; then the coll Is set away to let the alcohol evaporate. Keep it away from fire. The alcohol softens the shellac and this In turn sticks to the cotton covering of the wire where It is In contact with the tube. It will be found that the wire Is held secure ly enough for couplers and vario meters also the rotors of these, but not for tuning colls with which a slider Is used. Grid Leak Takes the “Fry” Out of the Set The amateur who has a one or two stage audio frequency amplifier on his set is well acquainted with the hiss or frying sound it gives forth when op erating at its best or highest capacity. By placing a grid leak across the sec ondary of the last amplifying trans former nearly all the frying and hiss ing noise can me eliminated without noticeably reducing the signal strength. ■ —. i ■■■ ... When static is real bad the strength of the leak can bo increased to where it will take the harshness out of the static, but It will reduce the signals somewhat. The ordinary grid leak consisting of pencil marks on a strip of paper can be used, but best results are secured by making these lines with ordinary black drawing ink. % To Make a Mounting for “W. P. 11” Tube It is in some places Impossible to purchase a socket for the “W. P. 11” tube (generally called the “peanut” tube) at any price. With a piece of bakellte three Inches square, four binding posts and some spring brass wire one can be made. The spiral part of the wire is I zz-Z-I bent around a six-penny wire finishing nail flrqily held In a vise for the three small contacts, and the one for the “grid” contact (which is larger on this tube) is bent around a twenty-penny spike. The inside of the colls is brightened with a rat-tall file to insure contact This socket works perfectly, and the natural springiness of the wire takes up any sudden jar. * <aaii4 •■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1 SHORT CIRCUITS The successful radio amateur Is generally a man of parts. An eastern radio club wants a suit able design for a club pin. How would a crystal set In platinum do? Doctor De Forest says that radio has fired the imagination of youth. We know some youths whose Imaginations might well be fired. When your Ice bill comes In, don’t grumble. Think of the fellow who has to provide for the wide range of the radio broadcast If the loud speaker on your radio Is unsatisfactory, how would you like to have a desk next to a fellow who yells all day over the telephone? A loading cell Is an Inductance con nected In the antenna circuit to re ceive longer wave lengths than the natural wave length of the antenna. A man buys a radio set, not so much to hear a great orchestra, but to tune that orchestra In and out and thereby show the musicians that they have nothing on him when It; comes to bring ing out harmony. A prominent government official writes that the poor quality of music furnished by the smaller radio sta tions Is handicap to radio development In the smaller towns. He believes that by redistributing the output of the high-grade stattoas much better prog ress will be made.
