Almost any noise in an amplifier may
be eliminated by methodic and careful
search and it viii generally be found
that the cheaper types of transformers
give much more trouble than the bet

construction which should be looked
for by the buyer is the assembling and

is generally caused by an interruption
in one of the grid circuits, either in
the connection from the transformer
secondary to the filament or in the sec

is entirely insulated, bowling is heard
which shows an interruption in n of
these circuits. When no signals at all
are heard. the trouble generally lies in
one of the plate circuits, and the trans

CONSTRUCTION OF v. T. SOCKET

This socket can easily be made by
an amateur. The base is composed
of sheet formica, 3x2AxA inches.
Holes are drilled in each corner of the
base and four binding posts mounted.
Four other holes 1882 of an inch) are
drilled in the middle of the base in
the form of a square, the holes being
N-inch from each other. In these
holes. brass tubes, measuring A-inch
by 3-32 of an inch, are inserted, to take
a standard four-prong vacuum tube.

1907 the citizens of Irwin voted for
a special school tax under the Nc
Michael act, and since then an an
nual tax Of five mills has been levied
there for school purposes. In 1921
an additional tax of 21-2 mills was
levied under the Constitutional
amendment of 1919. The plaintiffs
contended that the tax was illegal
and that levy of more than five
mills could not be made; that the
act Of 1919 does not confer upon
county authorities the right to levy a
tax in access of five mills. Judge
Eve held that the fact that a special
tan for school purposes had been
voted does in no way Interfere with
the operations of the act of 1919.
Tae petition for injunction was dis
missed. The question at issued has
been the subject of much controversy

CALHOUN AGAIN
IN CAPITAL WAR
Arlington Genes Forward With
Bid For What Edison Failed
To Get

ALBANY, Jan. 20.-Calhoun coun-
ty, Dougherty's neighbor on the west,
is disturbed over county site cleo
ton, the second that has upset the
even tenor of her people in less than
a year" The date of the election is
February 10, when the people will be
called on to say if Arlington shall
succeed Morgan as the capital of the
county. Just eleven months ago,
March 10, 1921, an election was held
to determine if Edison should be Civ
en- the courthouse. The exact result
Of that election, which a majority of
the managers refused to consolidate
on the ground that it was illegally
held, was never known, and the Su-
preme court upheld this contention.
Edison then abandoned her attempt
to have the courthouse, which was
burned at Morgan in August, 1920,
rebuilt there, and the county commits
sioners levied a tax rate sufficient to
produce $4,000 for rebuilding the
courthouse at. Morgan. This tax is
now being collected, most of it ,hav-
ing already been paid.
Arlington, however, has made an
offer to contribute by private sub
scriptions $4,000 to. "a courthouse
fund if the building is located there.
Arlington has two railroads and Nor
gan none, an advantage which Ar
lington supporters are urging. Nor
gan contends, however, that Airing
ton Is poorly located for a county
side, being on the line of Calhoun
and Early counties, and that an ac-
tual survey would have to be made
to determine if the new courthouse
IS in Colhoun or Berrien county, the
county line passing almost through
the center Of the town.
Morgan further argues that new
jail would have to built at Arlington
at an expense that would offset the
gift of the Arlington people, and that
there is no assurance that the pledges
made at Arlington can all be collect
ed. Some Morgan supporters assert
that the offer of Arlington people of
$4,000 is nothing more than bid
to buy votes.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
50 many people claim, that it fulfilis al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments. corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address pr;
kilmer Co, Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
