LOCAL SPORT FIELD

Coach Morgan mentor of the high
school athletics gave the basket ball
fans of this city an evening of thrills
last Friday when he staged a double
header between the Sank Centre high
school team and the Long Prairie
high school team. The game sched-
uled between the Sank Centre and
Long Prairie girls was cancelled so
contest took place between the sec
ond team of Sank Centre and team
made up of several first strong men
of Long Prairie and the balance OF
their second team. The youngsters
played first and although outweigh
ed and out experienced in large
measure the local lads were not OUT
gained for minute. At the end OF
the allotted time the score was a tie,
eighteen all. Just before the whis-
tie blew for the extra period Leon
ard Brown scored a beautiful basket
for Sank Centre, from mid-field,
while his mates were holding their
opponents, the final score being 1920
in favor of Sank Centre.
Coach Morgan's first team made
another strive forward in their as
piration for district championship in
the second game. At the end of the
first half Sank Centre lead by field
basket but they came back strong In
the second half and two difficult
baskets from the center of the field
from an angle by Donald Lewis and
another from the center by Freder-
ick Meyer, gave Sank Centre a lead
that Long Prairie could not over
come. The final score was 81 to IL.
The locals did not appear to have
fully recovered from their Christmas
vacation because there is more diff
ference between the Sank Centre and
Long Prairie teams than the final
score of Friday evening would indi-
cate The boys are working hard
and undoubtedly will hit their stride
before their next contest.
The next big game, High School at
Sank Centre will be Friday evening,
Jan. 20 with the long hated rivals,
Little Falls. We have hopes that
the "hoodoo" may. be broken when the
two teams meet, on the floor.
Friday evening of this week D our
High School boys and girls will meet
the fast Osakis team at the latter's
place. .-
The basket ball game Monday ev-
ening between the American Legion
team of Sank Centre and the town
team of Sank Rapids was one of, the
most interesting to watch ever played
upon local floor. Every man on the
Sank Centre team was STAR. The
Legionaires lineup consisted of Tan
ner and Hanson, forwards, Frank
O'Gara at center, Dewey O'Gara and
A. A. Gales at guard, Clarence Van
desteeg replacing the latter about the
middle of the last half 1t was the
concensus opinion that the quint pre-
sented by Manager French Monday
evening was the team that will be re-
turned victor in many of the con-
tests this season.
Sank Rapids has sizeable and
clever bunch Of players who are
fighters and know the game, but the
fast team work of the locals be-
wildered them. The visitors were so
guarded that until the
latter half of the game they had
only succeeded in throwing one field
basket. Having the game well in
hand there appeared to be let-pp
in the speed and punch of the Sank

FARMER RECEIVES
CORRECT REPORTS
BY CHECK SYSTEM

When farmers of the United
States listen in for the latest re-
ports on the weather, market con-
ditions and other matters of agri-
cultural interests, two persons N
Washington see that he gets the
right information in the right way.
One is c. A. Bauer of the postof-
fee department, whose duty it is to
broadcast information to the farm
er by radio.
The other is Miss katherine G.
Rice, who checks up on Bauer and
sees that the broadcast reports sre
being received properly by farm
ers with radio receiving sets.
Miss Rice is market editor of the
Z. S. department of agriculture.
She uses a simple radio receiving
set, designed by the United States
bureau of standards. to check back
the market and other information
sent out by the department and by
Bauer.
Bauer is called the farmers
friend" His broadcasting station
is WWX, from which he sends out
daily at regular intervals, weather
forecasts, market prices and lee
lures of interest to farmers.

mentality which, if properly used,
may well break down prejudiceS,
help men to understand each 9TH
er, sway and even govern national
and international motives by bring
ing the personality, the intelli-
gence, and the thoughts of the
worlds great men to millions and
hundreds of millions of people
everywhere. 1t is right to think
of this wonderful invention in
terms removed from mere amuse-
ment; to conceive it as leading to
something more than the hearing of
a sound.
Radio communication of the flu
ture obviously tends to include all
moving vehicles; it is already be-
yond the experimental stage for in
stallationS on ships at sea, sub
mersibles. in aircraft, and railroad
trains. 1t is reasonable to expect
its eventual application to automo-
biles and even in some cases to in
dividuals.
In a competitive sense, the fu-
ture OF radio is equally bright. Its
opportunities in long distance com
municaliOn are manifold, as evil
sages can be sent through the air
at tremendous speeds of transmits
sion and, commercially, more
words per minute means less cost
per word. With lessened cost,
there will naturally be created new
classes of service until the day may
come when a business man will
look upon the writing of a letter to
Europe on an urgent subject as an
archaic practice.
Supplement- to Cables.
The practical vision of the future
of radio does not include, however,
the scrapping of underseas cable
systems; radio will supplement,
rather than supplant the cables. In
the first place, experience has
shown that new inventions usually
result in the improvement of pre-
viously existing methods. In the
second place, communication facill-
ties always have been inadequate
: Just as new subways never quite
relieve gestion-and the in
! crease in facilities will cause in

conceivable that the development OF
! the transmission of intelligence
will go forward at a leisurely pace
everything points to a very great
acceleration. In putting an end 70
the single point-to-point limitation
imposed upon cable, radio will be-
come the dominating method OF

I ication and will hold that leader

up in its electrical oscillations. In
order that this may be accomplish
ed by the methods available for
tuning the radio receivers, some
thought must be given to the total
length of the antenna as we'll as its
height
Most radio fans wish to lister to
wave lengths as short as 200 me-
tiers. 1t is much easier to load" a
small antenna for the reception of
long waves than to operate upon a
long antenna for receiving short
waves. 1t is well to keep this in
mind when constructing the an
tenna.
Rules for Aerials.
A good rule, although one which
gives only approximations, is:
THE total overall length of the
antenna system in feet from it's ex-
IRENE end to the ground connec-

wave length in meters, divided by

BRITISH READY
FOR WIRELESS
PHONE SERVICE
Government Sanction is Needed to.
Make Radio Popular in
England.

Government sanction is all that /
is needed to make radio a national
public utility in England.
News of this development follows
reports from America that ma
tional system Of broadcasting, with B
rental of radiophone receiving sets
in homes, was being planned there.
That England is actually preparing I
for such radio service in the near
future is CLEANED from a statement
issued by Godfrey Isaacs, manag-
ing director of Marconi's Wireless
Telegraph company.
In this statement, Isaacs looks
forward to the time when radio
will DE as popular as the telephons
and outlines program for an or
gained public service which the
Narconi company is ready to In
stall as soon as the necessary At
thority is obtained.
In All Homes.
MY hope is that in time every
home will have a wireless set,
says Isaacs. Our program is more
particularly to supply the instru-
ments to the householder on hire.
Our idea is to have two or three
broadcasting stations in different,
parts of the country and to have
program for different hours OF the,
day. We shall transmit by partic-a
ular wave leugths-if we get assist,
ance, as | have no doubt we shall,
from the thOrities-which will be
so confined as to reach only these
particular receivers Nobody else
will be disturbed and the telephon-
ic receivers will not be disturbed
either by wireless telephone or tel
| egraphic communication.
This, says Isaacs, will be the
! start of a system which will spread
through the continent of Europe and
eventually will reach over the en-
/ tire world.
Great Possibilities.
81 do not think that anybody
! realizes how big a thing this IS go
/ ing to be-" he adds. "A message sent
out by the government or the pO-
! lice would be in every home in the
country in a second.
| We have been perfecting this
| system for a long time. We have
been working in close touch and
cooperation with the big American
! German and French firms"
Cost of such a system to the con-
sumner would be cheap. says IsaaCs.
The receiving set would be leased
at a modest annual sum and the
service rendered also for a small
amount.

from stations transmitting az q
wave length of 200 meters, the re-
suit will be 166 feet.
Neither the number of wires in
the antenna, nor the height, will af-
feet this approximation to any
great degree.
If it is possible to secure a non
conductive support as high as 166
feet to the top of which can be run
a vertical, or nearly vertical, wire
or two, the results will be co1s!d-
erably superior to those obtained
from the same length wire placed
in the form of an IL" or ct" shap-
ed antenna, whose vertical sec
tons are only 80 or 40 feet il.
| length.
But the average radio fan will
not have available supports as high
as this.
Vertical Preferred.
Some may take sufficient interest
in the radiophone to erect a spe-
cial non-conductive mast, or in
sulated mast, of approximately this
height To such, it can be said
that the results obtained we'll war
rant the effort
! To those who must place depend
ence upon what natural supports
are available. it may be pointed out
that the higher the wire, the better
provided that the total length oil
the antenna from its extreme end

to the earth connections, does not
exceed the figure derived from US
ing the formula given above.
If the antenna is of too great
length, no success is to be had in
tuning it to the shorter wave
length, no success is to be had in
from increased lengths are more
than offset by loss of advantages
due to tuning.

TALKING POINT OF
LADS SMALLEST
SET" is DISTANCE

All kinds of smallest radio
sets have been exhibited and talked
about, but a New York lad claims
that the strong point in his set is
the distance from which he can re-
ceive messages.
His name is Sterling G. Sears
and he says that he can hear a pro-
gram from a station rs miles
away, and even farther.
The reason is. his set has a
vacuum tube as detector - which
makes it much more sensitive and
powerful than the sets using a
crystal as detector.
Heretofore the smallest sets
have been made with crystal detec-
tors
Sears says his is the first small
est set of the vacuum tube type.
The complete apparatus is about
as large as book.
With this set. Sears won first
prize, at the radio show held re-

the flaments of the detector tube,
but all of these require special re-
sistance to balance out the a. c.
hum. The most practical way to
light the tubes, as yet. is by the use
of an ordinary 6-volt storage bat
terry, which may be recharged at
home from the city current by
means of a small rectif1er.
What is the best kind Of a loud
talker?
The loud speakers now on the
market, with the exception of the
Magnavox, employ some sort of re-
ceiver, usually a Baldwin type CO
mica diaphram, attached to some
sort of horn. The larger the horn
on these the greater the volume
that can be obtained. Nearly any OF
this type of loud speaker now on
the market is good, although the
Magnavox surpasses all of them il
two or more steps OF amplification
are used.

The greater portion of the popu-

totally dependent upon financial,

tai centers for their daily progress.
II is only natural that they should
desire up-to-the-minute informa-
ton about what is going on in the
rest OF the world. Thus the daily
press, the telegraph and the tele-
phone have each come into their
own as purveyors of information.
Measured by the standards which
