Some Saving! Indefinite.
"In thee figure the director of
the budget has found it impossible to
nuke any reliable estimate of Mine
indefinite general saving, tuch a
those incident to the corrected Hy
trin of purchasing which hat been
rtablihed in the government, by
which eompeliiion between depart
ment and the overlapping and ac
quiring of unnecessary lurplu ha
been avoided. On the basis of the
original estimates made by the dif
ferent department and etablish
merit there have been eliminated,
utter due consideration of the fact
involved, in the neighborhood of
$150,000,000 claimed economic."
Director Dawes tabulated the el

Mr. Dawes paid his respects to the
present "archaic system of govern
mental accounting," declaring that
the public can never be fully inform
ed as to the basiners operation of
the government until it is reformed.
He criticised particularly "the pres
ent ayatem of government account
ing, which calls the loan of money to
the railroads an "expense," and the
return of money loaned a receipt."
Such operations, he said, almost up-
Mf the estimated figure for thi
rear to the extent of about SJVj.Ouo,.
OtKI.
"An accounting ituatioa like this."
he averted, "might be regarded a
humorou in aniall business. It
is nothing short of a calamity in
governmental accounting,"
Some Art Resubmission.
The budgrt director explained in
detad the relation of driicieucy and
lupplemental appropriation to the
budget estimate and said that the
total ddinrncy ettmiate submitted
by the budget bureau, amounting to
J.V)7,7o4.452. contain number of re
submissions item which have been
submitted in one estimate, and not
provided for by appropriation, were
again submitted in a later estimate,
Thete retubmitiiont amounted to
$75,958,001. which reduced the net
amount of the estimates (ubnuited by
the bureau to $431,806,451, he a;-
serted.
The appropriation made by con
gresi during the period covered by
the report from July 20, 1921.- to
March zu. are shown to total
$374,691,040, of which $6,842.4 J 1 is
payable from the postal revenues, and
consequently does not represent
withdrawal of money from the treas
ury.
Thi reduces the total expendi
tures from the treasury authorised
by congress in deficiency appropria
tion during the period to JJO.MoY
w,- said Mr. Dawes. "The expen
ditures so authorised by congress do
not, however, represent a correspond
ing Increase in the expenditure as es
timated by the bureau of the budget
in the December budget, since of the
amount io authorized $264,633,769
wa included bv the bureau of the
budget in the estimate ol expendi'
tures for the fiscal year 1922, as
shown in the December budget.
Tin leaves a total of authorized
expenditures from the treasury in
excess of those estimated in the bud-
Bet of $103,214,812. Of this amount
SW.tXW.UUU ol the $80.(XV,U0) pro
vided in the highway act of Govern
bcr 9, 1921, is expected to remain un
expended at the beginning of the
next fiscal year, according to state
ments made by the Department of
Agriculture, and deducting this from
the $103,214,812 leaves the sum of
$43,214,812. which represents the do
tible amount by which supplemental
and deficiency appropriations granted
by congress during this period may
increase the expenditures from the
general fund in the treasury during
the fiscal year 1922 over the budget
estimate of $3,967,922,366. an amount
more than offset by reductions in ex
penditures under . other appropria
tions."

Farmers' Union Notes
There it certainly no luck of in
terot in the Farmer Union Finance
corporation," said State President
Osborn after returning from a trip
out in the state, "but we find that
a great many farmers do not have
the money to pay for stock now. lie-
cause oi this condition, we are atK
ing members to subscribe now and
make an agreeable date for payment
We are requesting secretaries to pre
sent the matter on this basis. Some
subscriptions are being sent m vol
untarily. The Farmers Union Co
operative association of Mullen.
Neb., sent a check for a share of
stock and Others will do likewise at
their first meeting. We expect to
put this corporation across, but it
is a slower process than we antici
pated."
Congressmen Aid More.
Four Nebraska consressnicn have
replied favorably to the telegram of
President Osborn of the Nebraska
Farmers Union requesting their sup-
oort to the movement to extend the
period in which the War Finance
corporation may make loans to June
30, 1923. Congressmen Jcfferis, Mc
Laughlin, Andrews and Kinkaid have
wired that they will work to tring
about this extension. Eugene Meyer.
r.. the tnanaeinar director of the War
Finance comoration. has recommend
ed fo President Harding that the loan
ing period be extended to January
. 1923. The farmers Union has tak
en the stand that a louger extension
s needed in order to permit agricul
ture to get' back on its feet. -Na
tional President Barrett has express
ed the opinion that this source of
credit will De neeaea as oaaiy i..:s
fall as it has been at any time since
the depression began.
Sweet Clover popular.
That sweet clover, once considered
weed, is becoming recognized as a
a'.uablc farm crop is indicated by
the fact that the largest singie item
in the unusually large seed business
of the Farmers Union State ex
change this spring is white blossom
sweet clover seed. Farmers are sow
ing sweet clover primarily for pas
ture and to improve the productivity
of the soil. ' Not many uSc it for hay,
because alfalfa is considered a better
crop for that purpose. In quantity
of seed sold thus far this year by
the Exchange, sudan grass stands
next to sweet clover, followed, in
turn, by rape seed anl alfalfa. In
large part of Nebraska alfalfa is
generally seeded in the late summer
or' early fall; hence, the sales of al
falfa seed may overtake the sales of
some of these other seeds before the
season is over.-.

The extreme sensitiveness of the
vacuum tube for detecting weak radio
signals has revolutionized wireless
by making it possible to receive from
any distance. Employing a vacuum
tube detector, it is posbible to con
struct a simple receiver that is easy
to operate and adaptable to the re
ception of radiophone broadcasting.
Fred W. Swain, a radio expert, gives
the following directions for the con
struction of such a'sct:
The composition panel should be
drilled for the four binding posts,
two on each side, as shown in Fig 1.
Two quarter inch holes should be
drilled midway between the top and
bottom and three inches from the
ends for the rheostat knobs. Then
drill four holes, a half inch apart
along the right end and near the
back of the wood base (See Fig. 3)
to hold the remaining four binding
posts for the batteries. The rheostat
should then be mounted on the back
of the panel and its shaft allowed to
protrude through the center hole to
the right so that the knob can be
mounted on it (See Fig. 3). The
knob is securely fastened to the shaft
by means of a set screw. Drill two
holes for the two small bolts which
hold the rheostat to the panel, and
mount it securely in place.
The panel should next be fastened
to the wood base at the lower edge,
This may be don by using three
small wood screw after first drilling
the holes in the composition panel.
Then fatten the vacuum tube socket
to the bate about two inches directly
behind the rheostat (See Tig. 3)
The combination grid leak and con-
denser (rig. J) should be fattened
by means of two small wood screw
to the base one inch from the rear
edge and midway between the cnus.
To construct the tuner, the tubes
should each be wound with 40 turns
of wire (N'o. 20 cotton covered). At
shown in Fig. 4. the brass rod run
tliroueh the center ot tne two cons
and i used to rotate the inner coil.
In windina- each of the tunes, V
turns should be made and then
quarter-inch space skipped and the
remaining 20 turn made. (See Fig,
2). This is to allow space for the
shaft on which the tubes are mount
ed. Th ecoils should be shellacked
and allowed to dry after winding.
To insert the shaft in the coils, the
smaller coil must first be placed in
side the large coil, the smaller coil
must first be placed inside the large
coil and then the shatt pushed
through far enough to allow both
ends to stick out. The holes in the
smaller coil must be small .enough
to fit tightly and rotate with the
alia (t.
Careful Connections.
The two coils must be con
nected in series. One of the free
ends of the larger coil should be
wound loosely around the shaft sev
eral times at one end, and then its
end soldered to the shaft (see Fig 4).
This will allow the shaft to rotate
back and forth without breaking this
wire. One end of the smaller coil
must be soldered to the shaft as
shown in Fig. 4. The remaining end
wires of the large and small coils
should be left free for connection to
the other instruments.
The tuner should be mounted in
back of the panel (see Fig 3). and
the shaft allowed to protrude
through the left center hole to the
front of the panel. The tuner is se
cured to the panel by two small
bolts which should pass through the
little margin at each edge of the
larger tube. Care should be taken
that the bolts do not strike the wire
on th lube. After thi is dune, i'
h.tt khould be free to rotate tl "
smaller toil inmlc. The knob ahouM
be slipped on the shait and the rt
screw lightened.
Ready to Receive. .
The set will then be ready to wire,

shown in Fig. 1. To operate, ro
ute th rhrottat until a fair brilli
ancy is noted. The tub function

Wiling noise heard in the receiver.
After this adjustment th tuner knob
is rotated until a radio station Ii
heard. If very little sound i heard,
reverse the six-volt battery wires,

trically efficient since there are no
sliding contact.
In next Sunday' Bee, the con
struction of a vacuum lube ampli
fier will be explained by Mr. Swain.
