some of the flappcrs didn't like his

Now, we have him in this amusing stage
comedy, which, even granting il. may
have been butchered in the filming is
certainly OF a grade higher than the
average studio made commonplaces.
And, at the present time. Wally and
company are working down in San
Diego on Richard Harding Davis bub-
bling farce comedy, "The Dictator"
which served Willie Collier as a stage
bit. and Jack Barrymore as a screen
success.
As a matter Of fact. Reid is some.
thing Of an anomaly in films. He has
been with one company for---let's see
about seven years, and the public never
has heard whimper about broken con-
tracts or outrageous demands or the
like. And, take it from us, he must
be worth lot to his bosses right now.

count for anything.
In that length Of time under the one

Something to
Think Ab0uf
OUR WASTEFUL HABITS
By F. II. WALKER

TT is frequently remarked by close
observing Engishmen who visit
America that our people are
Shamefully waSteful, and fling away
money without any apparent thought
of the proverbial rainy day.
Whether these alien cOmmenters
have penetrated deeply into the sub
ject is not definitely known, but judg-
ing from their oft-repeated averments,
assuming at times form Of caustic
criticism. there is doubtless more
truth in the matter than we suspect.
1t is not without pang of regret
Il rufling of our pride, perhapS-that
we Americans, who are disposed to
annlyze conditions with unbiased
minds, reluctantly admit that our Eng
fish cousins are right.
We recognize that we have many
Spendthrifts, constantly setting bad
example to the young, that they are
extravagant and decidedly foolish.
Money is poured out like water, as
though. like Topsy. st just growed.'
There IS consolation, however, In
the th.ught that these proffgates
come mostly from the ranks Of the
newly rich and thoughtIess inheritors.
They have no idea of the stern
realities of life, nor the long dragging
years of incessant labor and self-de-
NAL that are necessary for working
or professional man to accumulate
even Il moderate competency for old
age
These people congregate where the
music flows, where the tables are
heapcd with daintieS. They smile and
hackbite, puff themselves up like frogs
and spend recillcSslE. They fall natur-
ally into a state which is common to
their kind.
If we could follow them through
their improvident course to the end,
we would find them in pitable plightS,
repentant and likely as not homeless.
The necessity of conserving time
and money ought now he impressed
upon all of us with considerable more
stress than it has been in the recent
past. and particularly upon the In
conSilerate young men and women.
Let high thinking, hard work and
thriftiness form the important part Of
our spiritual bill of fare, so that In
the end we may be robust Of body
and soul, sound of purse, unafraid OF
landlords and in position in old age
to accept all the vagaries of life with
supreme confidence and complacency.

it's capacity up to $50 barrels per
day. New milling machinery has
been ordered.
Duncan Monroe, is in charge of the
mill.
Mr.. Dunnell, the president, return
ed from Crosby Wednesday night,
where he spent several days arrang-
ing to make these improvements. He
states that the mill will put out a
quality Of flour every bit as good as

VACUUM TUBE when.
USED AS AMPLIFlER
1t Will Function Thus for Either
Radio Frequency or Audio
Frequency.

Starting today we shall give a de-
tailed description Of the vacuum tube
when used as an amplifier This series,
as in the past, is continuous and if
clipped out and saved will be con-
venient for reference.
When the three-electrode vacuum
tube was used as a detector, the cir
cults associated with it were such
that where a symmetrical alternating
difference was applied to the grid.
q symmetrical change in plate current
resulted. That Is to say, the vacuum
tube acted as rectitier. In addition
to rectifying, the tube also amplified.
The variation In plate circuit was "K, "
where "K'' is the amplification con-
slant of the tube, times what it would
have been in two-electrode tube, for
the same potential impressed on the
grid.
By properly adjusting the electrical
constants Of the circuits associated
with three-electrode tube, symmetri-

John Lee Coulter, president of the
North Dakota Agricultural College,
welcomed the new president on be-
half of the heads Of the various state
educational Institutions. He has

early days when Coulter as lad lived
in log house near Grand Forks.

hearty cooperation on the part of
each and every kiwanian in his efforts
to build citizenship. Mr.. Coyle
knew Mr.. Mcfarland when they were
students at summer session of the
University of Wisconsin 26 years ago.
They boarded at the same place and
enjoyed prunes for breakfast, stewed
prunes for lunch and prune stew for
dinner. He spoke of Mr.. Mcfarland
even in those days as being most
studious scholar.

commission, extended the welcome for

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors in English and

"SPooNFULS," ETC.

TN CONSIDERING the proper form
Of the plurals Of such words as
spoonful" "cupful," armful," etc,
it must be borne in mind that the unit
considered is not the spoon. the arm,
the cup, etc.; but the material that
fills the spoon, etc. Thus, the unit is
the spoonful, not the spoon, and as
spoonful is the name Of thing In
itself, the proper form Of the plural IS
found by adding an IS" to the word
spoonful" and not to the part Of the
word spoon"
OF course, there are times when the
unit is the spoon itself; that is, when
two or more spoons are filled. When,
for example, you have before you two
spoons filed with sugar, you should
say "two spoons full" and not "two
spoonfuls." But when you take
spoon, fill it with sugar and empty II
into your coffee cup, and repeat the
process, you have taken two spoon

TIPS TO RADI0lSTS

At Muncie, Ind, bacon was
fried by means Of a radio cur
rent. At last an explanation for
that "frying" noise.
Clifford Pinchot, nominated for
governor of Pennsylvania by the
vote of the people, acknowl-
edges his great Indebtedness to
the radio. A primary coil no
doubt played an important part.
An inventor Of Chicago claims
to have invented radio apparatus
that permits Of successful COM
munication with the spirits
We hope that the anti-prohibi-
tionists will not misinterpret
this claim.
The police department Of
Portland, Ore, has asked for an
appropriation for radio receiv-
ing and broadcasting stations
and to equip the police automo-
biles with radio apparatus. Cop
per wire, it Is needless to say,
will be used.
Lord Northcliffe, famous Eng
lish editor, in speaking Of the
future Of Journalism, recently
predicted that radio would have
an effect upon the publication
Of newspapers that will equal
the invention of the linotype
and high-speed press. He said
that radio would undoubtedly
come into general use of news

straight line, then CD will equal s.
e, or so long as the working range
falls within straight line portion of
the characteristic curve, symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause
symmetrical changes in plate current
From this it can be seen that If the
working point "a" be, selected near
the bend Of the characteristic curve,
symmetrical changes in grid potential
will not cause symmetrical changes in
plate current. Since the plate current
variation in such case would bear only
slight relation to the grid variation in
potential, the output OF the tube would
be distorted.
In applying amplitiers to receiving
sets used to pick radiophone stations,
distortion is one of the greatest diff
ticulties to overcome. Too strong
signals will result in decreased am
plilication. In Figure %, if the ap-
piled variation in grid potential were
10 times that shown in the example.
the plate current would not change
10 times as much, because OF the
bends In the curve, due to saturation.
Finally, condition can be reached
where the use of an amplifier tube
will decrease the signal strength be-
cause Of the saturation of the tube.
The rectified incoming signals would
be louder without the use of the ampli-
fer tube, because of the inability of
the plate current Of the tube caused
by saturation to Increase in proper
tion to the signal strength.
There are, in general two factors
that can be taken from the charac-
teristfc curve and the second is the
length Of the straight portion Of the
curve. The slope of the straight por.

cal variations of grid potential can be
made to produce symmetrical varia-
ton in plate current, which are 'K'
times the amplitude Of the plate cir
cult variations of similar two-elec-
trode value with the same applied
grid potential. This means that if
three-electrode value be used in the
proper circuits in a radio receiver, the
signals can be made to appear as
though the received signal is "K'
times as strong as 1t actually is. If
two tubes are used with their proper
circuits In conjunction with radio
receiver the received signals will ap-
pear to be TX" times as strong as they
actually are and SO the apparent
strength Of the incoming signal is
multiplied by *" for each additional
tube added to the receiver circuit.
A vacuum tube used In conjunction
with circuit that will cause the plate
current to vary In exact proportion
to the applied grid voltage, but ap-
parently caused by 'K' times the &C
tual grid voltage variation, is called
an ampliher. If the tube functioning
as an amplifier is used to amplify the
incoming signal at radio frequency be-
fore 1t Is rectif1ed by the detector, it
Is termed a radio frequency amplif1er.
If the tube functloning as an amplifier
Is used after the incoming radio fire.
quency has been rectif1ed by the de-
tector, it is termed an audio frequency
amplifier.
Returning again to the character
istic curve of the three-electrode vac
uum tube, shown In Figure %,
notice its shape. Suppose that a pos
tive potential was applied to the
grid by means of "C' battery so
that the tube would function at a
point represented by "A" on the
characteristic curve. If now the ap.
Piled grid potential from the "C'' bat
terry be reduced by an amount rep
resented by ABB in Figure % the
corresponding reduction in plate cur
rent will be represented by BE. On
the other hand II the grid potential

sented by A-C, where A-C equals BIC,

ton of the curve determines the am
plification of the tube. The more
Of the curve is, the greater will be
the change in plate current for a
given change in grid potential, or in
other words, the louder will be the
response in the telephone receivers
corresponding to a given received
signal. The length Of the straight
portion Of the curve determines the
maximum variation in grid potential
that will cause the tube to function
properly without distortion.
