IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.

The following article is one that ev-
cry voter should read and ponder over.
It is quoting the election law and if
strictly enforced, as 1t should be, it
would put stop to unscrupulOus men
of one political faith calling for and
voting ticket of another party. Chal-
lengers shOuld>be at every poll and
where there is an attempt to evade
this law the voter so doing should be
arrested and prosecuted:
Under the direct primary law OF this
state, the members of one political
party are prohibited from voting in
the primaries of another party. The
law expressly provides that a voter.
upon receiving the ballot of a party,
shall, if challenged, be required to
make oath that he intends to affiliate
vita that party at the ensuing election
and intends to support it's candidates
generally.
Affiliation with party involves the
idea of alliance with the other men,
bers of the party, and belief general
ly in the principles Of the party as ex-
pressed in it's platform One could not
consistently claim affiliation with a
party unless he believed in the essen
tial features of the platform and in
tended to use his privilege as an cleo
tor to bring about the carrying out of
the party principles through the cleo
ton of it's candidates.
Under the law, the making Of false
oath in respect to party utilization is
declared to be perjury. which is pun
ishable by Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary

AS the revenue of the town is almost
wholly confined to the tax levy and
tho water system 1t is plain to be seen
from the figures given that it will re-
quire some close calculation to make
ends meet.
The present year has shown large
decrease in the outstanding indebted
ness of the town, such as $4,000 de-
crease In the warrant Indebtedness,
and before the end Of the year 1000
will be paid on the bonded Indebted
ness.
This bonded Indebtedness is rapidly
becoming due and the town will be
compelled by law to establish sink
ing fund next year for this purpose.
In the last report of the state examin-
ers there appeared these statements
THE water department of Oroville is
being operated at loss, and either
the expenses should be reduced or the
rates increased" This condition has
been remedied and this department is
now showing a small profit which is
to be used to redeem bonds. The pres
ent administration is to be compile
mented on the manner in which 1t has
managed the affairs of the town, and
it would be wise policy upon the
part Of the citizens to let the same
officials have chance at it again, for
they have been tried and not found
wanting. Think it over.

paper. Next, place the other. frayed
and spread the same way, on the upper
piece Of foil at the opposite end and
with few drops Of hot paratiine fix
them In place on the edges OF the
paper. Then, roll the whole, being
careful not to displace the foil (this
may be secured to each piece of paper
with few drops of parafiine ut the
edges) and form small cylinder Fig.
20. Wind the cylinder tightly with
fine thread at each end, as shown. or
wrap with adhesive tape and dip the
whole into hot parafiine. In using this
condenser with a crystal set 1t is only
necessary to shunt. or connect it,
across your phone receiver wires, but
II using 1t In a vacuum tube set you
must use grid-leak shunted across
1t. This Is merely piece OF cardboard
placed between two binding-posts or
terminals and with several soft lead
pencil lines drawn across 1t from post
to post. In order to be sure that a
good connection Is made, draw pencil
marks about the holes where posts are
to be inserted. The distance between
posts should be not over five-ei ghths
OF an inch. Sometimes drawing ink
(made OF carbon, for writing Ink will
not serve) Is used. In place of lead
pencil, but the latter has the advantage
that the lines can be varied or ad-
Justed to give best results by means
Of an eraser.
Variable condensers are much more
! difncult to make and while any in
geniOus boy can make them, it Is
usually cheaper to purchase them
ready made. There are two common
FORMS. one known as the sliding plate,
zig. ~, the other as the rotary, Fig. 81.
The former consists of a number of
metal plates. which slide back and
Iorth IN frame, case or box provided
with grooves and fixed plates. The
rotary type consists of number of
semiclrcular plates of metal so ar,
ranged as to rotate or swing past a
series OF fixed discs. In each form
'he ar spaces between the plates cor
respond to the waxed paper between
the strips of foil on the fixed con.
aehsers. BY means Of either of these
TWO variable forms, fine adjustment

people cannot understand the func
tioh OF a condenser, but, broadly
speaking 1t is to store up electrical
energy and then suddenly release it.

These appliances are a most impOr-
tant part Of wireless set, as with
out them the oscillations, even II
detected by the instruments, would
! be very weak and faint. They are
divided broadly into two classes known
as Fixed Condensers and Variable
COndensers, the former being the simp-
lest, and the latter the most efficient,
for while fixed condenser is always of
one capacity and can only be increased
or decreased by adding to or SUBJ
tracing from the number of sheets.
the variable type may be altered OF
adjusted at will by knob or handle,
thus tuning or adjusting the receiving
circuit exactly as tuning coil Is ad.
justed, but much more delicately, as
the adjustment Of tuning coil con-
sists In shortening the length Of coil
by jumping connections from one turn
Of wire to another to alter wave
lengths, whereas, the condenser ad-
Justment Is slow, even and gradual and
alters capacity; but 1t must not be
forgotten that for wireless telephony

sort OF coil or similar device must be
employed to get satisfactory results.

MIR. TAXPAYER, Do YOU KNOWl

In another column Of this issue Of
your official town paper there appears
an estimate Of the receipts and ex-
penditures for the town OF Oroville for
the year 1923. If you are not interested
in the business of your own town you
certainly should be. and as this is the
time in the year for making the NUM-
cipal tax levy for the coming year
you should post yourself upon the dis
tribution of the money to be received
from taxation. This estimate is pub
lished for the information of every
resident of the town. There Is other
information that is not included in
this estimate that the town authOri-
tives believe should be placed before
the taxpayers. The tax levy for the
town is limited to 20 mills on the as
sessed valuation Of all property with
in the town. This year tne total valua-
ton has been reduced some $45,205.

patch from Lewistown containing par
ticulars of the double DEATH
&c. w. Barney, a resident of tlis
section for more than 35 years and for
mer head of the Moore Mercantile
company, was run over by switch
engine east Of town last night and in
stantly killed. He had suffered stroke

Mr.. Nelson was nominated in the

the primary election Would leave some
sore spots, but the vote to-day shows
that Republicans as a rule cast their
ballots for the ticket. The vote in
Waterville was surprise to Mr.. Nc

Both candidates in statements before
the election declared that they were in
favor of national prohibition and en-
forcement of the Volstead law. The

ported Mr.. Nelson in the Republican

AUGUSTA, Me-, March 20.-John E.
Nelson, of Augusta, an attorney, was
elected to Congress in the Sd Maine
District at special election to-day by
majority estimated at about $500
His opponent was Ernest L. Mclean,
Democrat, also an Augusta attorney.
The election was to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Congress
man John A. Peters, Of Ellsworth, to
become judge of the United States
Court for the District of Maine.
Although the vote was light because
Of bad weather and many women were
kept from the polls by the snow and
rain, the result is. regarded by the
Republicans as strong Endorsement of
the Republican national Administra-
ton. Mr.. Nelson made his campaign
on the ground that the voters sh ould
elect him as evidence Of the approval
of the policies and mplishments of
President Harding and the Republican
Congress- On the other hand. Mr.. Nc
Lean asked that he be elected as re-
buke to the present Republican 1e-
gime. The Sd District has gone Demo
cratic only once in the last forty years.

of l9,257 in the 1920 election, but the

WASHINGTON, March Complete
withdrawal of American troops from
the Rhine was ordered to-day by Sec
retary of War Weeks. He announced
that the return of the United States
forces would be completed by July /, at
the direction of the President.
The order removing the American flag
from the standards of the Allied troops
IN occupied territory by July /, Secretary
Weeks said, was not based on any re-
cent development in the controversy
over the payment of sums due this
government for maintaining the Ameri-
can forces in the Rhineland. He denied
also that legislation proposing to re-
duce the army had Influenced the Presi-
dent in ordering the Withdrawals.
The President has all along in
tended that the army of occupation
should be brought home as soon as
possible" Secretary Weeks said, "and
to-day's order merely is part of the
carrying out of that policy"
Statement by Weeks
ln formally announcing his orders
Secretary Weeks authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
Some months ago the President di
rected that the troops in Europe. at
least in excess of 1000 officers and
men, should be returned to the United
States by the regular transport service
which was then and is now in opera
tion. He has now directed that this
be continued until all of the troops
have been brought to the United States.
which would mean that before the end
OF the fscal year the entire force will
have been returned. Additional trans
ports will not be operated to complete
this movement"
The War Department now has two
transports in the European service.
They are the Cambrai and the Cantie-
ny, which have been engaged in return
ing the bodies of American dead. This
task will be completed when the Cam
brai arrives in New York late this
month. 1t is the intention of the War
Department to continue these two
transports as troop carriers, and the
schedule of trips provides that the
American forces in Germany will be
completely evacuated by July 1.
N"NAc eAAC app PloNiHldtely a,UUU OIL
ficers and men in the American army
on the Rhine at present. In an order
issued February IS this force was re-
duced to 1853 officers and 2,217 men, but
this reduction cannot be effected before
April 1.
No Reference to Claim
While it was officially denied that
the withdrawal order had any reference
to the refusal of the Allied Finance
Ministers to honor the claim OF the
United States for $241 100000 for the
maintenance of the American forces up
to May l last, it is known that the
fact that the legality of this claim
was questioned by the Allied powers
has not been lost sight of by this gov
ernment. The American position in
this connection is to be set forth clear
| ly in an identic note to the powers by
Secretary of State Hughes.
