They were making camp when
Billy stopped to examine a butcher
knife taken from Slike. He caught
his breath. On the handle of the
butcher knife the letters T w were
cut deep into h wood.
How many butcher knives did
you take from Walton's?" he de-
manded.
I One" replied Slike.
"Why hells bells!" exclaimed
Billy, then you didn't kill Rafe
Tuckleton.'
First L knew he was dead" Slike
said thoughtfully. "As a rule, !
don't kill my customers"
"She said he only took one
knife" Billy told himself stupidity.
He was no nearer the solution OF
4 the Tuckleton murder. : His theory
that Slike had killed Tuckleton was
smashed to smithereens by the dis
covery of the Walton butcher knife
in SIike's bootleg. Unless Slike had
taken w knives. But Slike had not
taken two knives.
Early one morning several days

coming back.
Slike jammed his Winchester into
one of the empty scabbards and un-
tied the bride reins of the horscs.
Holding the reins in one hand. he
gripped a saddle horn and stimuli

BURKE COUNTY AUDITOR
REMOVED BY GOVERNOR

Bowbells, N. D.--Upon an order
signed by Gov. R. A. Nestos, c. j..
Kopriva was today removed from the
office of auditor of Burke county. The
county board Immediately appointed
w. C. Martin, former clerk Of court as
acting auditor.
The charges made against Kopriva
allcge malfeasance and Incompetence
and also recite the use of abusive
language in the handling the business
Of the office.
The order of the governor reached
Bowbells nearly simultaneously with
a mandamus order signed by Judge
George Moellring of the district
court at Minot, which directed kop-
riva to call County Commissioners
John Grub and A. J. Hauge to serve
on the canvassing board to check the
returns Of the recent election. kop-
riva had previously called J. L. Fink,
county judge and J. r. Jensen, coun-
ty treasurer, both leaguers, to serve
on the canvassing board along with
Hauge, the only league member OF
the board at present.

JAILBIRDS ESCAPE FROM
BOTTINEAU BASTILE

Bottineau, Nov. 27.-Two of the
jailbirds held in the county Jail here
escaped on Wednesday evening about
dusk. The caretaker Of the Jail al
lowed M. Fl. Ryan and James Doyle,
who were bound over for burglary in
connection with the robbing of Kopan
Brothers store at Eckman this fall,
to escape by giving them the privi-
lege of emptying ashes and water
from the jail. AS soon as they got
outside the court house they dropped
the ashes and beat it, getting about
two minutes the start of the deputy.
The bandits were held on $4,000 bail
each, which they couldn't furnish.
Ryan is burglar with record and
a bad case, he is about 30 years Of age,
wears glasses and is about 5 feet 6
inches tall. Doyle is younger man,
about 5 feet 8 inches and slim built.
The dragnet is set for their recapture
but up to date the sheriff's office have
no trace of the fugitives.

When conductor cuts u magnetic

ductor The voltage induced depends
for Its value on the rapidity with
which the conductor cuts the magnetic
feld. The value Of the induced volt

the magnetic field will decrease. In
decreasing, the magnetic field about the
conductor will cut the conductor and
induce In it n voltage. This induced
voltage in conductor caused by a
change in the magnetic field, which was

Spuds Good Feed Says Specialist

Potatoes have about the same value
pound for pound as corn silage as a
feed for COWS and may be fed profit
ably to milk COWS 6r hogs, states F.
w. Christensen, animal nutrition spe-
cialist, North Dakota Agricultural
College, in reply to frequent inquiries s
recently regarding the feeding value
Of potatoes.
About 3/4 pounds of potatoes are
required to equal pound of corn or
barley in feeding value, according to
Mr. Christensen. Not more than 80
to 35 pounds of cooked potatoes
should be fed daily to one COW as the
quality Of the butter is likely to be
affected unfavorably. Somewhat less
Of the raw potatoes should be fed.
For hogs, the potatoes should be
cooked whenever possible as cooked
potatoes have a higher feeding value.
Raw potatoes have about two-thirds
the feeding value of cooked potatoes
for hogs. The feeding of large guam
titles of raw potatoes to hogs is like
ly to produce scours thus decreasing
the gains. AS feed for hogs it will
take about ia pounds Of cooked po-
tatoes to equal 1 pound of barley or
3/3 pounds to equal one pound Of
corn. The best results are obtained
with potatoes when they are fed along
with grain. One pound of grain to
four pounds of cooked potatoes has
given good results.
Whether it will pay to cook pota-
toes for feeding purposes depends on
the cost of fuel, additional labor in
volved and other items. The cooked
potatoes are safer and more satisfac-
tory as a feed.

tween two circuits linked by mag

Examples Of both types of induct-
unce are found in both high and low
frequences. In u radiophone trans
mitter the filter reactunces are ex-
umples OF low frequency self-induc-
ton. The tilament transformer Is an
example Of mutual inductunce. The
primary Of the filament transformer

for it's action upon self-induction. The
operation Of Il loose coupler depends
upon mutual induction for the trans

antenna circuit to the secondary tuned
circuit to which the rectifying appar-
atus is connected.
skin effect Is due to self-inductiOn.
In a conductor carrying direct current,
resistance drop, which can be consid-
cred as q back voltage, Is constant
over the entire cross section OF the con-
ductor. The applied voltage then 10
opposed at any point on the cross Sec
tion Of conductor by the same back
voltage and hence the current flowing
distributes itself evenly over the cross
section of the conductor.
This is not true in conductors car
rylng alternating current. There are
two voltages that oppose the flow OF
alternating current in conductor.
First, the back voltage due to resist
ance, and second, the back voltage in
ducel by self-intluctlOn. The magnet
ic field surrounding the conductor will
be strongest at the center Of the CON
ductor and weaker at the surface OF
the conductor This will cause the
induced back e. IN. f. to be largest at
the center and smallest at the surface
Of the conductor Naturally the den
sity of the circuit that flows will be
inyersely proportional to this opposing
e. m. f. Or the least current will flow
at the center and the greater current
viii flow along the surface.

Increased. the "skln effect" as 1t Is
called, becomes more and more pro-
nounced. Finally at radio frequencies

then the other direction. Each time
the direction Of flow Of the current
changes, the direction Of the magnetic
Aeld reverses.
When an alternating current flows
In a conductor, the current which is
set up by the changing magnetic field is
also alternating. Suppose that Fig. l
represents a graph of the current flow
Ing in the conductor. During the first
quarter of the cycle, while the cur
rent is increasing from zero at A to
q maximum value at p, the magnetic
field will build up with the current.
The lnductive back e. m. f., which de-
pends on the rate Of change Of flow.
will be a, maximum at A, where the
flux is changing most rapidly, and
minimum at +. where change in flow
is zero. Similarly during the other
three quarters Of Il cycle the induced
e. m. f. due to induction will be a
maximum at C and r and a minimum
at D.
The dotted curve then in Fig. |
represents the g. II. f., Of Self-inNuc-
tion. Note tllnt there is a phase diff
ference Of one-quarter OF cycle. or
80 electrical degrees, between the G.
N. f., due to induction and the current
producing the magnetic field. This ac-
ton of the conductor having a back
current COWS through the conductor Is
called self-lnduction.
In other words, self-induction may
be defined AS the property Of an cleo
trical circuit that tends to prevent any
change in the value Of the circuit
flowing through it. The e. m. f. Of self
Induction Is always in such a direction
as to prevent any change Of current
In the circuit. A length Of wire wound
In the form Of coil called a solenoid
has a greater self-induction than the
same length Of straight. The self-in-
duction OF q coil with no iron near

depends on the physical dimensions
Of the circuit. The unit Of inductance
Is the henry. An electrical circuit has
an inductance Of one henry, when a
change in the current Of one ampere

1t has been explained that an ever
changing magnetic field surrounds a
circuit carrying an alternating current
and that this changing magnetic field
induces in the circuit back g. m. t.
which opposes any change in the cur
rent flowing in the circuit.
If second electrical circuit is
brought within the magnetic field Of
the first circuit, the second circuit will
have a voltage induced in it, The val
ue Of the voltage induced in the sec
ond electrical circuit will be one volt
per 1OO,OO0,OOO lines of fiux cut per
