SUMMER BRINGS
NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR
TORTURING YOUR FRIENDS

Bolshevists have some excuse after
all. One can almost understand their
penchant for throwing bombs and
crying "down with the leisure class"
when one spends the summer over a
desk in hot office and every mail
brings a sheaf of cards and letters
from ones more plutocratic friends
who are spending the summer in all
of the seemingly cool and delightful
places on the map, bearing such ten
der messages as 'tDo wish you were
here. 1t is SO cooT that we sleep under
blankets every night. Guess old Mex
leo is pretty hot and dry now and
SO forth and SO forth indefinitely. The
cards usually bear the picture Of
some cool looking lake or mountain
and The letters are written on sta
tionery bearing slogan about SUM
mering in the garden spot Of the
world or something equally consol
ing.
Enjoy your summers as much as
you can but don't torture your
friends at home.

LARGE FOX IS
KILLED ON
LOCKE PLACE

, Ernest Blum killed large male
fox Thursday afternoon on the Sam
Locke place in the western part of
Mexico. Mr.. Blum had been losing a
number of chickens as had the other
residents of that part Of town and
did not know wat was the cause. One
day he saw a number of chickens
stacked up and knew it was the work
of fox. He located it under the
barn belonging to Mr.. Locke and
Thursday killed it.
The animal was large red fox but
was very thin and the pelt of course
is worthless this time of the year.
The animals are usually found in
pairs so Mr.. Blum is keeping his eyes
open for the other one. This is the
first time on record that fox has
been killed in Mexico for a number
Of years.

Essay Which Won Prize at
ClOUer And Prosperity Picnic

A. Henry says: "For pigs clover
furnishes sufficient food for main
tenance so that all grain feed goes
for gain"
Red clover was originated in
Persia and all of the other varieties
were derived from it. Red clover is
excellent for a hay crop for stock
of all kinds. It can be cut twice in
one season. 1t is better then any
other variety for animals that pro-
duce milk for young. Red clover is
not wasteful, for il 1t is harvested
when overripened, or when damaged
by rain, or by overcuring in the sun,
or when it may be stored away to
green and mold and may still be fed
to hogs.
White cloveris perennial legume
which grows in lawns, pastures,
fields and by roadsides in both Eur
ope and America. 1t grows best in
fairly moist sweet, we'll drained soil.
1t is desirable in blue grass pasture
because it grows well in midsummer
when blue grass does not. Another
reason why it is desirable is that it
feeds at a greater depth and stores
nitrogen in soil. Every pasture
where white clover will grow should
contain it first because it stores nj
trogen in the soil; second, because it
furnishes more protein to the grass
ration, and third, because it feeds at
a greater depth than do most pas
ture grasses. White clover is good
honey crop.
Alsike clover improves the soil
better than any other variety. It is
adapted best to low wet soil. Alsike
clover is also a good honey crop.
All Of the clover varieties are per-
ennial crops but the crimson clover
which is an annual crop. It grows
only in warm latitudes and is grown
extensively along the Atlantic coast
and is used for winter cover crop
and green manure which plowed un-
der takes the place of barn yard
manure.
Glover has not been extensively
grown in this part of Missouri on
the account of the ground being sour.
1t has been proven that it would be
profitable to lime the soil and grow
clover. q

DRYS HOLD
THEIR OWN
IN ELECTIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Drys
are holding their own all along the
battle front of this years primaries,
a review of results discloses. AS the
returns come in from congressional
counts it is becoming increasingly
evident the propaganda for beer and
light wines is having little effect in
the field of practical politics, and the
next congress is likely to be drier
than ever.
Tabulation by Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, including primaries of this
week, show the following:
Candidates for representatives in
congress have been nominated in 256
out of 435 congressional districts.
Incumbents were renominated by
their respective parties in 1925 of
these districts.
Of those renominated, 1877 have
been voting dry and 38 have been
wet.
Among the thirty-one new NOM
inees likely to be- elected the drys
claim a gain Of three.
ut is evident beyond question we
will have majority of better than
two to one in the next congress" Mr.,
Wheeler declared today.
"In other words, we are holding our
own and gaining little. The result
of the primaries shows the sentiment
Of the country better than any other
indicator. The vets are making lot
of noise, but no progress"

QUERY ABOUT THE
NAME OF RUSH HILL

In the last weeks issue of the
Laddonia Herald, someone asked the
question where did Rush Hill get its
Rush and Hill. In response to this
query E. R. Locke of Mexico answers
as follows:
"The land upon which Rush Hill
is located was owned by Gustay
Reusch and William Preston Hill,
jointly and they were desirous not
only of building up a town at that
point but to give it name which
would comprise both Of their names.
Quite number of combinations were
thought Of before it was decided to
give it the present name, spelling
Mr.. Reusch's name as it was ordin-
arily pronounced"

VACUUM TUBE USED
AS RADIO DETECT0R
How This Device Depends on
Emission and Control Of
EleCtrons for Its Operation.

Readers of the radio column are
urged to clip each article and paste
It in a file book. The articles print
ed are continuous and the entire
series iDill be paluabIe for reference.
The greatest advances made In the
past few years in the radio art have
been due in one way or another to
the use Of vacuum tubes. In view OF
this fact q more careful consideration
of them viii be Of interest.
All of these tubes, known by va.
riety of names, such as radiotron, au
dion, seriotron (trade names Of the
manufacturer) depend upon the same
fundamental principles for their op-
GRAFTON. For the sake Of simplicity
of brevity these will be referred to In
this column simply as vacuum tubes
A vacuum tube can be made to func-
tion as a detector, as an amplifier, OF
as an oscfllator.
The vacuum tube depends on the
emission and control of electrons fol
it's operation. The electron Is the
smallest subdivision Of matter which
mankind recognizes and 1t carries the
smallest known charge of negative
electricity. For years previous to
electron research 1t had been held by
scientists that matter was built up oi
distinct particles or units which they
called atoms and molecules. At first
the molecule was assumed to be the
smallest quantity of matter that could
have separate existence or take
part In chemical action, but more Wig
orous research pointed to the fact that
the molecule is made up Of still small
er elements which are termed atoms
that is, molecule may be composed
of several atoms. Then for time Il
was assumed that the atom was the
very smallest quantity of an element
that could exist, but later researches
have revealed that atoms may be
further subdlvided into particles

ed by battery current and it Is this
heat furnished by the battery current
that constitutes the force that dis
rupts the atoms of the filanent and
liberties electrons.
Fig. III Is spherical glass bulb
from which all the air and gases have
been exhausted and having mounted in
It fIament CD which can be heated
to incandeseence by the "a, battery
connected to 1t, and the metallic plate
e. When the filament CD is heated
to incandescence by the "a" battery
connected across its terminals elec.
irons are emitted. Connecting the
cold plate E to the incandescent fla
ment CD by means of the circuit E
F-G-H which includes current meter
and 'B" battery, with its negative
side connected to the filament lead
at II and its positive side connected
through the current meter, the plate
becomes electrically positive with re-
spect to the filament.
Since like charges repel and unlike
charges attract, there will be move
ment of electrons from the tilament
to the positively charged plate. and
the current meter win show deflec-
tion which indicates that a current is
flowing in the circuit E-F-G-H.
Increasing the "B" battery voltage
causes an increase in the current
flowing In the circuit EF-G-H, the
plate circuit, until the positive charge
on the plate e is so strong that all
Of the electrons given of by the fila
ment are attracted to it. Assuming
that the temperature of the filament is
kept constant and that the plate vol
tage has been increased to the point
where all of the electr0ns given or
by the filament are attracted to 1t,
any further increases in the ''B" bat
tery voltage will not cause any In
crease In the current In the plate cir.
cult.
Increasing the temperature Of the
filament will increase the total num-
Der of the electrons emitted.

The following essay, written by
Miss Helen Day, daughter Of A. N.
Day a prominent farmer, was award
ed the prize at the Clover and Pros
perity day picnic last week at the
Charles Clark farm.
Clover is one of the most import
ant legume crops. It originated in
Southwestern Asia and Southeastern
Europe. It was first introduced into
the United States and grown in
Pennsylvania in 40. The different
varieties of clover can be success
fully grown in almost all parts Of the
United States and Canada.
The growing of clover is good
farm practice. 1t replaces nitrogen
which is taken away by other crops.
If you would examine the roots of a
leguminous plant you would find
nodules which give the plant the
power to take nitrogen from the air
and store it away in the soil for
other plants. And when the plant de-
Gays it leaves humus in the soil. To
buy the clover seed and plant it to
produce nitrogen in the soil is much
cheaper then to buy commercial fer
tiIier. Clover has a long root which
Is called the taproot, extends down
into the subsoil and gets most Of its
food from it. It also rests the sur
face soil when the roots decay it
leaves the subsoil open so that the
moisture which is in the subsoil can
rise so the other plants can use it.
Clover is rich in protein and nj
trogen and helps to make better
balanced food. 1t is good feed for
young and growing animals that
must develop muscle add bone ma
terial. Clover is also good for any
animal that produces milk for the
yol ng such as the dairy COW.
Clover is greatly used to check
insects that are harmful to other
plants such as the chinch bug, Hes
sian fly, etc. Because it is not great
ly harmed by them and by using it
in rotation with other crops it acts
as a check against the insects.
An advantage of pasturing clover
OF with swine is: you have a greater
gain with less cost, it tends to main
tain the fertility of the soil. Mr.. w

ADVICE FoR AMATEURS.

The voltages applied to the
plate circuits Of amplifying
tubes are not extremely critical
and one voltage control win suf-
fce. The detector tube, how
ever, is often very critical and
an ef1cient potentiometer will
work wonders In controlling II.
Apparatus used for the recep-
ton OF broadcasting Is exactly
the same as that used Tor the
reception Of code signals. The
transmitting equipment, how
ever, IL different.
The use Of q single wire for
reception Is advantageous be-
cause 1t lessons the amount Of
objectionai interference In the
way Of static. It is equally as
good as multiple wire system
for reception.
Defective aBa batteries will
often cause roaring In the tele-
phone receivers.
The eTectron often talked
about Is the smallest known
quantity OF negative electrical
energy. In motion II makes up
the electric current.
A .'softH vacuum tube is used
as a detector tube and d s'hard'
vacuum tube aa an arnpiifer.
The terms 'shard'' and soft
refer to degree Of evacuation.
Radio waves travel at the
same speed as light, namely
10000 miles per second. y
A wavemeter is an instru-
ment used for checking up the
wave lengths OF sending and re-
ceiying stations.
Gas pipe or water pipe sys-
TENS may be used for grounds,
the latter being more advisable.
Lightning protection secured
BY grounding the antenna when
not in use Is essential and IL re-
qIired BY the underwriters.

called electrons. The apparent mass
Of an electron is about one-eighteen-
hundreth part of that of an atom Of
hydrogen which is the smallest of the
chemical atoms.
According to the electron theory
an atom consists of a definite num-
Der. of electrons grouped around a
nucleus having positive charge and
SO long as none of the component
electrons are driven from the atom,
the latter possess no detectable charge.
The positive charge on the nucleus is
said to be exactly neutralized by the
negative charges on the electrons
grouped about 1t.
Suppose now that by some means
an electron can be detached from the
atom. Then the atom becomes what
is known as a positive lon and It ex-
hibits the properties Nof a positively
charged body, or in othes words since
an electron which carries a negative
charge has been removed from the
atom which has equal positive and
negative charges, the portion Of the
atom now remaining has deficiency
of negative charge and acts like any
positively charged body.
On the other Hand IL some force can
be brought to bear that will add an
electrong to normal atom which is
neutral as far as electrical charges
are measured, the result will be a ne
gatiye ion, which will possess all the
properties Of negatively charged
body. An atom then which has a
deficiency Of electrons Is called pos
tive ion and one having excess Of
electrons Is called negative lon.
Since each electron carries ne
gative charge Of electricity an elee-
tron represents certain quantity Of
electricity. Forcing electrons to move
from one point TO another causes
electricity to flow. The ability Of any
medium to conduct electricity Or allow
current to fiow through II depends
upon the number Of free electrons
available as carriers OF charges.
It has been known for many years
that the space surrounding piece OF
heated metal Is conductor Of
electricity. It has been demonstrate
ed more recently that this Is due to the
release Of electrons and that II an
incandescent metal be placed IN q
| bulb exhausted OF all gases, pure cleo
irons will be liberated from the In
cnndescent metal.
In vacuum tube such as we are
using at the present time. the piece
Of metal used to furnish the electrons
is called the filament and II usually
made Of tungsten ana sometimes n
coated with oxides to increase the
slectron emission. For convenience
