TfAMS CONTINUE SCHOOL CANVASS GOAL NOT YET REACHED Liberal Response at Tonight's Mass Meeting, However, Expected to
 Yield Needed Funds.

Continuing today the work vigor- ously carried on yesterday afternoon to secure subscriptions with which to continue sessions of the Conway pub lie schools this year, several teams under the direction of Leo Grafton report good success and an almost l unanimous response from all ap- preached.
 The subscriptions have not yet ben 1 tabulated, but estimates made at noon today indicated that the goal of a fund which will insure at least $2,500 per month for the remaining four months of the term has not vet ! been reached. While practically every citizen is subscribing, most of the subscriptions are small, and it requires large number of $1 to $5 subscriptions to bring the total to the necessary sum.
 The teams which are making the canvass are as follows: w. A. Rus
 sell, Rev. R. L. Jetton and Ray Reid,
 Russell Brown and Mark Bolls, Tom
 Davis and William R. James, Leo Hamberg and Opie Hartje, w. s. Cazort and Roy Bruce, Moore Harton and John Lyons, Enc Hilliard and Harrell Gist, Jeff Moss and w. w. Z Bishop, Lodie V. Biggs and Clifford Thompson, Leslie Grafton and w. F. Thomson, Leo Grafton and George F. Hartje.
 The residential sections of the city have not yet been canvassed and
 these will probably be assigned to the School Improvement Association and the womans auxiliary of the s Commercial Club
 A big attendance is expected at to-
 nights mass meeting, when the school l problems will be further discussed " and efforts made to secure the bal a ance needed to maintain the school a the rest of the year. The meeting was called by the Commercial Club

LAW THAT MUST BE ENFORCED.

The Nelson Leader puts up strong
protest against the prevalence OF
drunkenness in that town, in which II
Is charged that even boys in their
teens are seen on the streets under
the influence Of drink. Weird stories
come this way of excessive use OF
liquor in down river valley towns, and
while there is less evidence of drink
ing In Oroville than at any time since
the prohibition law went into effect,
1t is not improbable that those on the
inside would not nave very desper-
ate time finding the wherewithal
to quencn thirst If they started
out looking for it. All of which
would indicate that the law of the land
is winked at, is broken with impunity
and that many otherwise respectable
people, or at least classified under
that head, are law breakers.
The officers. and especially the Of
ficers OF this county, are and have
been jealous in enforcing the prohibi-
ton law. They have arrested many
bOotleggers, rum runners and private
still owners. Only last week Sheriff
Wilson and Deputy McAuley made one
of the largest hauls of contraband
liquor ever made in the county. Han
dicapped as the officers are, for a
suspect cannot be arrested without
warrant, 1t is impossible to apprehend
every person engaged in the illegal
traffic, and the efforts of the officers
are also minimized by the disposition
Of many people to show sympathy, IL
not open protection, to those engaged
in the nefarious practice Of liquor i'm
pOrtation. The worst feature of this
palliatiOn of violations of the law is
that 1t encourages the breaking Of 9TH
err laws, and the country has had too
many shocking examples Of the length
rum runners will go in the perpetra-
ton Of heinous crimes-nOt hesitating
at cold blooded murder-in order to
get their tabOoed goods to a remuner-
alive market. The prohibition law is
as much of a law of the land as any
other law on the statute books for the
protection Of life and property. If the
question Of retaining the law was put
up squarely to the voters Of the coun-
try 1t would be endorsed by vote OF
two to one. Although there has been
some difficulty in its enforcement the
prohibition law has been a blessing
to the people Of the country, and we
doubt II there can be one in fifty OF
the Inhabitants of the United States
DESTROYS Of returning to the old con-
dition Of things when the saloon was
wide open, and liquor was as easy to
procure as groceries. But it will be a
long time before the Illicit trade in
the prohibited goods can be eliminat-
ed unless people cease to encourage
the bootlegger and mOonshiner, for
those who buy liquor are those who
are really responsible for the break
ing of the law. Let there be no market
for the liquor and the bootlegger and
mo0nshiner automatically goes out OF
business. Prohibition is here, and here
to stay. Notwithstanding the strenuous
efforts Of strong minority willing
to fatten off the misery Of the human
family-for even the restoration OF
the privilege Of manufacturing light
wines and beer would make fortunes
for many engaged in the business and
would fill the land again with drunk
enness. debauchery and misery.

the various units, the clearer and bet
ter the results obtained. ! have al.
ready described how to set up small
regenerative set under coils"
but there are various other methods
Of arranging or assembling regenera.
tive sets. One Of the best is the set
used with a variO-cOupler and variO-
meters which is illustrated In
Fig. IS. BY using two variO-
meters and variO-cOupler as
shown, great selectivity of the circuit
Is obtained and by hooking on ampli-
fiers and using loud speaker phone,
music, songs, speeches, etc, may be
reproduced as loudly as a good phonO-
graph. The only objection to such
set Is that there are several adjust.
ments to be made In tuning as there
are the three knobs to look after. In
making this set It is not advisable to
attempt to make either the variO-
coupler or the variometers, for while
these instruments look simple, special
tools and long practice and skill are
required to construct them properly.
Also. when purchasing these, select
those In which the coils are not var
nished or shellacked as these cover
ings invariably decrease the efficiency
Of coil. The other parts required,
aside from ordinary insulated electric
bell wire, binding posts and a panel
or base, are the vacuum bulb or tube
detector; the socket for the tube, a
grid-leak and condenser (Which you
can readily make yourself If desired)
the rheOstat, variable condenser Of
COOS mid; the six volt storage bat
terry: B-battery and pair Of 1000 ohm
receivers.

easily see how the set should be ar.

From what can be learned the wave

boom class this summer has reached
our neighboring town OF Tonasket, ana
that hustling community Is experience

building and improved business con-

reason for these improved conditions
at Tonasket is that the community
PULLS TOGETHER. When they want
anything they go out after 1t and rare

All petty differences are put aside
when the interests of the town are
paramount No personal jealOusies,
envies or spites are permitted to stand
in the way Of community betterment.
There is no pulling down by those
who have nothing better to offer. 1t
is constructive effort on the part Of
the people as whole and not destruc-
tive. Personal advantages are over

which the interests of the town are

front as several of the valley towns

emulation, and If our people join
hands in the same spirit as has been
manifested down the line Oroville will
experience touch of new life that

student of the privilege of attend
ing school on account of not being
able to meet such tuition charge.
Second, to provide for the monthly
payrolls of the teachers, it is sug-
gested that arrangements be made
to absorb warrants issued to teach
ers in two ways. That is to get
absorb warrants or some of them
to do so, and in order to meet small
a pool be created of
small funds, a trustee be appointed
for funds SO pooled, and warrants be
issued to such trustee by the School
Board for funds so pooled and used.
All warrants issued will be taken
up dollar for dollar after taxes are
collected in 1928. This will stop the
practice of chipping in" which has
been practiced here for some time.
Further, it will insure to each
person advancing money a 100 per
cent refund in due course of time.
1t was also the sense of the commit
tee that this method would bring
about a closer cooperation inasmuch
as patrons entering into the pool
would be in touch with the manner
of raising funds, the expenditures
and other matters incident to the
running of the schools,
The committee will be called to-
gether again in few days for the
final contamination of the plans.
The various persons of the commit
tee are to take the plan up with
the various fraternal orders of the
city with the hope that hearty
cooperation may be secured. 1t is
hoped that the matter will come to
a glorious conclusion and that the
