GREAT PLANT IN MELBOURNE
Australian City Is Building Radio Sta
ton for Direct Communication
With Great Britain.

The work of establishing the man.
moth Australian radio station in Mel
bourne for direct communication with
Great Britain has been begun.
The subStatiOns for overseas traffic
will be about three times as powerful
as any European station today. 1t will
take two years before the central and
feeder stations are completed. AS a
normal performance the chief station
will be able to speak direct over l2,-
600 miles for the greater part of any
working day.
Receiving and sending stations to
correspond will be built in Canada dur
ing the same period. The plant for
the main station will be imported
from England, but the plant for the
feeder stations will be manufactured
in Australia, one for each of the
states.
The combined cost of all these sta
tions will be about S5,0O0,0O0. The
main station will consist of Il trans
mitter and receiver terminal thirty
miles apart. the latter including TWEEN
ty-four towers each 500 feet high
spread over square mile.
The wireless rates will be one-thlrd
less than the present cable rates to
Europe.

tube as an amplifer. The circuits
which will be described depend upon
the vacuum tube for detector or as
a rectitier not having the additional
function of an OScillator.
The first set described will be that
of a tuning coil mounted on a horizon
tai base board. The following mate
rial is necessary for its construction:
The Tuning Coil.
A piece of cardboard tubing, outside
diameter, three inches and five inches
long. 1t will cost about 10 cents.
One hundred feet of No. % DEC
magnet wire Cost about 25 cents.
One standard slider to fit "A by n
inch brass rod. Cost about 40 cents.
A siX-inch length of 4 by a inch
square brass rod. Cost about 20 cents.

Bowyers mOuth: Wilton put all the
strength he could muster into the
blow. Tom BOwyer, taken by surprise,
stumbled and fell. For a moment he
sat upon the floor looking up at Will
ton in stupefaction. Then he leaped
to his feet and ran at him, his fists
whirling. But before he could strike
him Molly came running in, followed
by Lee Chambers. She sprang be-
tween them.

condition? You coward, Tom Bow
yer!"
'He struck me-" yelled Bowyer in
fury. Hes the coward not |. Wait
till he gets well! Just wait I'll fix
you Carruthersw
He glared about him in an evil rage,
and then, without a word pushed past
Molly and strobe from the store, with
Chambers at his heels. A few minutes
later the sleigh was whirlng back
along the southwark road toward
Cold Junction, the nearest point of the
New Northern.
Wilton groaned with pain in his
broken arm, caused by the twist of
his body as he delivered the blow. For
an instant the room swan about him.
Then the scene cleared, and Molly
was holding him.
Her eyes, fixed on his, were filled
with pity, and maternal yearning
over him that touched him unspeak-
ably. Her face was very near his own.
Wilton realized Of sudden what he
had known in dim way even before
his fourth arrival at the portage
that Molly Mcdonald was the one girl
in the world for him.
He drew her to him and bent his
lips to hers. Then, because he was
not very well versed in many things
of the world, In spite of his thirty

"My father has had a stroke" said
Molly, taking Wilton's cue.
BOwyer stared at her and, as she
spoke, they heard the factors voice
above, raised in irritable inquiry.
'NIr. McDOnalds mind is affected"
said Wilton. "He cannot see you. ]
am sorry, Mr.. Bowyer. 1 am speak
ing for Miss Mcdonald"
Bowyer grinned viciously. swell,
Lee, guess we'd better have the dogs
harnessed," he said.
Lee Chambers went out. Wilton
wondered whether the two suspected
Joe's presence in the building. A mo-
ment later BOwyer turned to him.
You're next to Joe BOstock, WILL"
he said in his smooth voice. $50, as
Joe isn't here, apparently, I'd like to
have word or two with you. You'll
pass it on to him, eh?"
Without waiting for Wilton's reply
he walked toward the room at the
back of the store.
81 want the Missatibi, Carruthers,'
he began, entering, and turning round
and facing Wilton. 81 guess l made
a mistake in letting that bill through

Some day-not in our time, maybe, but
some day-these branch lines will

st hurts my reputation to have this
dinky concern Of Joe's hanging on tC
mine. But I guessed Joe couldn't
raise the money, and that I'd get II

swell, I was right. You can't cross
Big Mnskeg, and you haven't the
money to loop 1t. Tell Joe Pm open
to terms. And say I'm going to have
them. Tell him he won't live forever
heaps of men forget that-and ask
him who in thunder will go ahead on
the Missatibi when Joe Bostock' Is
gone !"
He could not have ficked Wilton on
the raw more surely if he had known
Joe was dead. The reference was like
a new stab in his wound. And Wilton
had the momentary impression that
BOWyer did know of Joe's death and
was playing with him.

He got no further, for Wilton's

CHAPTER III
Bower Comes-and Goes.


Wilton would not remain in bed
longer than two days. His hands had
not suffered much, but his feet were
badly inlIamed and swollen, and his
arm would take weeks to mend. But
he could not rest. and insisted that he
must return, although it was clearly
evident that he was in no condition to
travel.
Molly almost cried with veXatiOn
and alarm as she found that his deter
Eination was unshakable. BY the
strongest persuasion she induced him
to remain over the Sunday.
AS for Mcdonald he sulked in his
bed and said nothing.
Wilton had recovered consciousness
late on the afternoon Of his rescue.
That same evening his own sleigh had
appeared at the portage, with the two
halfbreeds. Weak as he was, Wilton
insisted on seeing them.
He was convinced that one of the
men had fired the shot by accident,
and had expected both Of them to take
fright and vanish with the sleigh into
the wilds. He was startled by their
protestations of ignorance. They
Swore that neither Of them had left
the camp until the afternoon, and per-
sisted in their statement that they had
not heard the discharge of the rifle.
Following up their employers, they
had discovered bloodstains on the I'M
derbrush, according to their story.
They had picked up Wilton's tracks

SYNOPSIS. - Looking over Big
Muskeg, seemingly impossible
swamp in the path of the Missa-
tibi railroad, Joe BostoCk, builder
of the line, and Wilton Carruthers,
chief of engineers, are considering
the difficulties. A rifle shot instant
ly kills Bostock and breaks Car
ruthers' arm. Handicapped as he
is, Carruthers determines to carry
the body to a station of the Hud-
sons Bay company, where McDon-
aid is the factor. MCDonald'S
daughter, Molly, sees Carruthers
struggling in the muskeg and drags
him from the swamp, with his bur-
den UnaccOuntably, her father
objects to her saving Carruthers.
Weakened by his wound and e&er-
tons, Carruthers is disturbed by
the appearance of Tom Bowyer,
Bostock's business rival and per-
sonal enemy. Bowyer insults Mol
ly, and Carruthers strikes him.
After Bowyer leaves, Carruthers
declares his love for Molly. She
promises to be his wife.

MADISON, Wisy--The idea gen..
orally prevalent among agricultural
economists that wages of working
men must come down before agricul-
tural conditions can be improved has
been termed as contrary to actual
facts and sound, reasoning BY Com
missioner Of Markets, Edward Nord-
man in q statement issued, today.
1.-TWO years ago when the cost of
living had. reached its, peak, states
Mr.. Nordman, the dominans impress
sion was that it was caused by in
sufficiency Of production due to the
workers unwillingness to produce
efficiently. The business depression
which followed has shown thatsat no
time was there9any scarcity of pro-
ducts but that ON the, contrary there
was an unmarketable surplus which
sent the prices of farm products and
manufactured commodities way down.
/ "The same erroneous idea is DOM
mating the minds Of the people now.
1t is believed that the whole trouble
lies in the Unfortunately high wages re-
ceived by city workers which, it is
argued, make prices Of manufactured
sommodities 10 high, A careful
ma unbiased examination Of reliable
statistical information points, how
sver, to the following three facts:
/. That the nominal increase in
wages has been uniformly less than.
the increase in the cost Of living each
year since the war.
q. That the nominal increase in
wages tasafollowed and not preceded
the increase i'm the cost of living and
8. That wage advances have been.
one Of the effects Of high prices and
not cause Of high prices.
The fact Of the matter is, states
Mr.. Nordman further, that although
nominal wages are high. real wages
ara low siroe the average total earn
ings Of the great majority Of work
|Ingmen at the-.end Of the week will
not buy enough food, clothing and
fuel necessary for decent standard
Of life.
In fact real wages have declined,
not only during the period Of the
European war, but real wages have
actually declined in this country for
81 period Of twenty years when one
measures the wages that the man
|sarns by the purchasing power : his
labor, and that is the way he has to
|meaEure It. Therefore, it Is clear
that the responsibility for the con-
|5tinued high prices does not rest upon
labor. Notwithstanding all the So
called yautholitative. statements to
tho contrary, reliable information
based on facts and figures in the pos
|session of the Department. of Mar
kets proves conclusively that labor
Us receiving at present the least it
gan receive without sinking below
The level Of effieiency necessary to
Imaintain national production in sue
fessful operation.
+ These considerations arc OF the
utmost Significance to the farmer, for
the farming population relies for its
markets upon the earnings of city
people who work for wages and sal
aries. The only rational principle
OF economic equilibrium is fair and
jrmt distribution Of tho products of
industry in the shape of earnings
among the elements Of society which
eontribute to production. The dis
crepancy between the cost OF living
and wages shows that workingmen do
not receive fair and just compensa-
ton for their Services. The same is
lure Of farmers and business men.
