GOV. HARDING SEES
PROSPERITY RAINBOW,

Governor Harding, of the Federal
Reserve Board. has sent a thrill thru
the nation in his report to Congress on
the general business outlook. Summed
up, he says the United States is fac
ing an era of prosperity of longer du-
ration than the country ever has
known. While he conservatively
lodges expressing a personal opinion,
and says there are those who believe"
the beginning of the revival is not far
distant, we cannot escape the optimis-
tic tenor of the report. Governor
Harding is too wise to quote those
who believe" unless he is convinced
that those who believe" have know
ledge and opinion that command SER
ious consideration.
Backing up the statements of the
Federal Reserve governor comes the
report that the steel mills are buster
than they have been in a year, q
strong indication of the trend of the
times. and plus this we see that the
first victory of the farm bloc has Great
ed a favorable reaction in all parts of
the country.
The story of the business merry-go-
round always has been the same

H MOVIE
SCANDALS.

Horrific maledictions are bling heap
ed upon the movie actors and the di-
rectors, promoters, and theatrical
stars. There has been a scandal, in
man is shot in the movie world, it must
deed perhaps two of them. When a
man is shot in the movie world, it
be because of licentious, scan
dalous living. When a minister is
shot. it is of course in cold blood.
When a movie actor gets into trouble
a dozen reporters go over his past,
present and future with a fine tooth
comb. His history is turned inside
out. When an average good citizen is
killed a short obituary perhaps covers
a multitude of petty crimes.
We should not be too hasty in our
criticism of the Movie world. It has
its good people and its bad. Consid-
ering the popularity of the numerous
stars, the enormous salaries paid, the
glamor and publicity gained, it is as
tonishing that the stars of fiimdom
hold their heads as well as they do,
especially when most Of them are still
in their twenties. 1t is probably that
the movie people are no better or
worse than our average. And there is
so much bad in the best of us that 1t
behooves us not to c~riticise the rest
of us, even the shining stars of film
dom.

DON'T SAY Il DON'T
KNOW,

Every citizen of the valley, particul-
arly of American Falls should be for
or against the proposed plan of bond
ing through irrigation districts for the
financing of the American Falls dam.
A positive stand should be assumed
based on the very soundest of rea-
cons.
This makes it necessary for every
citizen to inform himself regarding
the issues and their effect on the gem
eFal situation. When a question is
asked he should be able to answer it
i~ntelligently and conclusively. Be able
to meet questions and issues squarely
and the work of forming the districts
and voting the bonds will be greatly
expedited.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

We all seem to agree that New
Years resolutions are good for the
soul. so why should we stop at New
Year? What's the matter with a few
spring resolutions, for instance: l do
hereby promise myself that from this
time on I won't insist on having my
own way, because if / get it the world
is likely to be upside down in ten
minutes. What l propose to do is to
find out which of the bunch Of us hui
mans has the best way and then root
for that. It's better to accept the best
than to force the worst just for the
sake of winning, because when you
win o lose, and that's a poor kind Of
a game to play.

Something to Think About
Blu F. A. DALKER

If you should incline to prove this
for yourself, scOld your pet dog. If
the opposite you would verify, fill
your purse tomorrow morning with
kind words of encouragement, crisp
as new bills. and pass them around as
you WenC your way to business.
Give one to the old newsman on
the corner, and see his face light up
as the sun of happiness touches his
heart and suddenly warns his whole
being.
Hand them out all along the way
until you are ready to assume your
duties of the day.
You may marvel as you begin at
the ease and gladness with which you
take up your work
The troublesome perpleXities of
Yesterday have vanished, and there is
a gOOdly spirit lowering over yOu
whose presence you have not felt for
months. and all because you started
the day by cheering others and thus
unconsciOusly cheered yourself.

language-then one is more likely to
see the brighter side.
Out of the struggles and discourage
ments the country and world at large
have been experiencing, common sense
will eventually rise to higher plane
than it has occupied for several years.
And. though many may have foolishly
spent all they earned when prosperity
was with them and since have been
finding it difficult to make both ends
meet, when the tide turns back to
normal, greater value will be placed
on incomes, more caution will be ex-
ercised in spending, more money will
be saved, simple and healthful
pleasures will be appreciated and
there will be wider appreciation of
the privilege of earning fair wages or
making fair profits on business done.
Painful though the lesson of read
justment is, it was necessary to as
sure honesty and happiness in the
years to come.

NERVES" A LUXURY

TT YOU have an inherited fortune,
which some one else is taking care
of for you, you can afford to have
nerves"
You can afford to be sensitive, to be
easily irritated, to be extravagantly
disturbed at small annoyances.
You will not enjoy this, but it may
be some comfort to know that you
can afford 1t.
But If you have your way to make,
and are anxious to get as far as Is
possible with your particular mental
equipment, you will find that nerves"
are too big load to carry.
AS you no doubt have discovered by
this time, the world in which we have
our being is not altogether pleasant
one.
In it there are loud and raucous
noises, offensive sights, and displeas-
ing people.
There is also thing called. labor,
which viewed from the standpoint of
the busy man is good deal of
burden.
But this happens to be the only
world you are in, for the present at
least
And if you permit all its unpleasant
features to get on your nerves, you
are going to be so busy with your I'M
happiness and your self-pity that you
will have very little time to improve
your natural gifts.
If you are nervous and touchy ami
sensitive, and always looking for Of
Tense, you might as well go directly
to the poor house and give yourself up.
You will get there in the end, and it
will only be a waste of time to delay
your arrival.
A good many cases OF nerves" were
cured by the great war, permanently.
Young gentlemen who thought they
hogany table, spread with the besI
food, and who fancied they could not
sleep if trolley car was rafting by1
discovered that they were mistaken.
After they had slept for few days
within the sound of exploding shells,
they saw that they hadn't had much
to worry about back in peace times.
Get rid of your nerves If you want
TO get along. Take The world as you
find it, and put up with it. You may
be able to improve 1t just the least bit
later on, but you will have to become
very able. and very great, before you
can do so.

ENCOURAGING WORDS

ITO FORM a pleasant background

mOrtals whose backs are bent under
heavy loads Il few encouraging words
and observe, while you are doing it,
the happy change that comes over
their stOical cOuntenances.
1t takes but little kindness and mani
Hesitation of interest to brighten dull
eyes and move sad faces to smile.
AS the lips curl at the corners, you
comprehend with new understand
ing the value of cheering words
spoken in q kindly voice whose ring
is sincere.
Whatever opinion you may enter
tain as to the influence helpful acts
and speech have upon others, you will
find upon intimate observation that 1t
is always acceptable, uplifting and
productive of friendship.
Encouraging smiles and words are
like bright lights on a dark highway,
guiding the tired traveller to his des-
tination, who but a little while ago
had lost his way and fallen into the
slough of despond."
Reason as you may, the tongue
plays the leading role In the great
drama of life, permitting itself lib
trties that make for peace or war an
enmity or love, often forgetting in an
mguarded moment its great respon-
sibility.

0NT ONEY grows or money goes"
AVA But it will neither grow nor
leave one of its own accord.
Many persons have had these facts
brought home to them with a jolt.
Unfortunately, however, they did not
recognize the value Of what they OBJ
tanned when it came in fast.
Harsh lessons are usually well
learned. The man VINO foolishly trusts
a rotten plank to carry him across a
whirIing stream and then pays for
his folly by stiff fight for life, al
ways is more cautious when he must
walk another plank to follow his
pathway on the other side of a
stream.
The same logic may justly be a1-
piled to every walk of life. If one
spends all he earns, the money na-
turally goes; but, If he is wise and
saves something, what he saves is
certain to grow If properly invested.
And it is surprising how fast it will
grow and what an assistance 1t will
become when the source of supply be-
comes weak or slow in producing.
Whatever the difficulties one has
faced during the period of depression
incident to reimbursement of economic
conditions, he still has much for which
to offer thanks. Long faces and
grumbling are inclined to increase the
worlds pessimism and hamper the
progress back toward normally. 1t
is far better to be a good sport-if

CONDENSERS

of foil between 1t and the bottom
paper. Next, place the other frayed
and spread the same way, on the upper
piece of foil at the opposite end and
with a few drops of hot paraffine 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 a few drops of paraffine at the
edges and form a small cylinder Fig.
%. Wind the cylinder tightly with
fine thread at each end, as shown. or
wrap with adhesive tape and dip the
whole into hot paraffine. In using this
condenser with crystal set it is only
necessary to shunt, or connect 1t.
across your phone receiver wires, but
if using 1t in a vacuum tube set you
must use "a grid-leak shunted across
it. This is merely piece of cardboard
placed between two binding-posts or
terminals and with several soft lead
pencil lines drawn across it 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-eighthS
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
difficult to make and while any in
genious boy can make them, it is
usually cheaper to purchase them
forms, one known as the sliding plate,
Fig. 26, the other as the rotary. Fig 81.
The former consists of a number Of
metal plates, which slide back and
forth in a frame, case or box provided
with grooves and fixed plates. The
semicircular plates of metal so ar
ranged as to rotate or swing past
series of fixed discs. In each form,
the air spaces between the plates cor
respond to the waXed paper between
the strips of foil on the fixed con-
densers. BY means of either Of these
two variable forms. fine adjustment
of capacity may be obtained. Many
people cannot understand the func-
ton of a condenser, but, broadly
speaking, it is to store up electrical
energy and then suddenly release it,
as tha current paSSing through is in.
terrupted, varied or broken, or, in
other words, to increase the oscilla-
lions.
Although most small sets will op-
crate with a fixed condenser and
variable one is not necessary, yet the
variable type will always improve the
receiver and will permit much finer
tuning than tuning coil of any type
by itself.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1922-07-07

These appliances are a most impor-
tant part of wireless set, as with
out them the oscillations, even if
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 sub
tracing from the number of sheets,
the variable type may be altered or
adjusted at will by knob or handle,
thus tuning or adjusting the receiving
circuit exactly as a tuning coil is adj
justed, but much more delicately, as
the adjustment of a 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 adj
justment is slow, even and gradual and
alters capacity; but it must not be
forgotten that for wireless telephony
receiving, both a condenser and some
sort of coil or similar device must be
employed to get satisfactory results.
The simplest form of fixed condenser
consists of a number of alternating
sheets of tin-foil and waxed paper or
mica, the alternate sheets of foil be-
ing connected by wires which are in
turn connected with the terminals
where required.
To make a fixed condenser 1t is only
necessary to lay sheets of tin-foil be-
tween sheets of waxed paper and con-
meet them. A very efficient little
fixed condenser, to be used by shunt-
ing across the receivers of a small set,
or as a grid-condenser with vacuum
tube set, can be made as shown in
Fig %. Have some smooth tin-foil,
free from holes or tears, and cut two
pieces about one inch in length and
One-half an inch wide. Then, from
thoroughly waxed paper-which can
be purchased or can be made by soak
ing good quality writing paper In
paraffine waX-cut three pieces PA
inches in length and inches wide On
one of these pieces place a piece of
the foil then cover this with second
strip of paper, place the other strip of
foil over this and cover with the
last strip of paper. Be very sure that
the edges of the tin-foil are well with
in the margins of paper and are &C.
curately in line or conferred. In fact,
before placing them, it is wise to draw
a square the size Of the foil on each
piece of paper, spacing it equidistant
from edges, and arrange the foil to fit
this, Fig. "a. Next cut two pieces of
light wire five or six inches long
FLEXIBLE stranded wire is besD, spread
the strands at one end of each piece
apart and place one of these frayed
and spread ends on the lowest piece
