that is next best to being a child
Nagain.
One man who saw the parade last
year said it was the most inspiring
sight he had ever seen. He said he
thought, as he saw the hundreds of
happy children passing, there goes
the men and women of Sussex county
fifteen or twenty years from now"
Fifteen or twenty years from now
these Field Days will be one of the
joyous memories Of golden youth for
these children.
The parade will start from the
Georgetown high school promptly at

Watch the papers for the program
of the events of the day which will fol-

RADIO REPLIES

Here are three ideas which are very practical as well as novel:
 First.-Have you ever wanted some stranded wire when you were in emptye If you have not, you are a lucky buzz but the time may come when you will be in just such a pre- dicament and here is a way to pull yourself out.
 Put number of wires together, all of the same length, and fasten one end to a nail or hook on the wall, then place the other end in the chuck of your hand drill. making sure that they are all even- Stand back far enough to pull the wires taut, not too tight, then turn the crank of the drill slowly until the wires are twisted in to one. This makes a neat, smooth stranded wire which is excellent for your antenna or for any other purpose where stranded wire is superior. By using cotton covered wire you can make a neat power cable. Several strands of wire from the secondary of a spark coil makes a neat wire for winding variometers and other re- generative coils.
 Second.-Some time when you want a few volts for experimental work, you can get them out of those old dead dry cells which are under the cellar stairs. Remove the cardboard wrappers and punch the zinc full of holes. Then get as many farge-mouth- ed mason jars as you have batteries. Do not do this unless you are on good terms with the cook, as the cells will expand and can not be removed from the jars. Place the batteries in the jars and fill with a solution of water
 containing one-fourth vinegar and adding a teaspoonful of salt to each jar. Connect the cells in series and | let them set for a day. When the cells are saturated, you will have a
 battery which will serve quite well in
 an emergency.
 i Third-Do you know that if you
 have a smooth, straight-grained board
 you can make a neat panel for your C. w set? We all know that Bakelite | and Formica are the best materials
 for panels, but they are both expen-
 sive and when it comes to cutting the
 holes for the meters you certainly | have a job before you. The main l objection to wood is the grain marks
 which spoil the appearance of the pan | e1, and it is not a perfect insula- 1 tor, it is best tC mount the binding
 posts on fibre strips in the rear of l the panel. The large meter holes
 may be drilled with a regular expan-
 sion bit. The panel is prepared in the following manner: Smooth the | wood off with sandpaper first, then purchase a pint of dark metal primer | such as is used by auto body painters.
 After you have strained the primer | through cheeSe-c1oth, give the panel
 a good heavy coat and leave 1t for a day to dry. The next step is to rub
 it with a very fine sandpaper, always
 rubbing in the same direction with the grain. Now you are ready for
 the last step. which is to give the panel another coat of primer. This | coat should be applied in a room
 where no dust can fall on the panel. The second coat should be applied
 very thinly and evenly When you
 have completed the work I am sure
 you will be more than satisfied with the result I would not advise using
 a wooden panel for an amplifer.

VOTES OF FARMERS WILL OPPOSE SHIP
 SUBSIDY, IS CLAIM
Farm Credit Records of All Candidates Will Undergo Strict Investigation.
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON. I N & Staff CorrespOndent.)

Washington. July 24 - Improve farm credits"
 This is the plea of Middle Western farmers to both major political parties as the Congressional elections draw nigh.
 Senators and Congressman, seeking reelection, and their opponents, seek ing nominations, will have to stand pledged for a revivification or agrf- cultural credits before they will win the farmers support, it was declared here by John Tromble, president of the Kansas Farmers UnIon-
 The trouble with the country is restriction of farm credits, Tromble asserted. and it's only remedy is freely extended financial aid from the gov ernment. The record of each man campaign, Tromble said, would be searched for his true position on farm credits before support will De rendered or withheld Political affil- iations will be a side-issue, he added Tromble also contended the Hard ing-Iasker ship subsidy plan would be opposed "to the end" by Middle Western farmers and farm organlza tions because it favored a few to the cost of many.
 U. S. Should Run Ships.
 eff the administrator actually wants a ship subsidy, why doesn't 1t II would not be much opposed to such a plan as to turn the money over to private shipping interests. Ninety per cent. of the thinking farm CTS will never vote for a ship sub sidy. They will looH upon it as the | handicraft of Wall street. They widl | feel the farmer has enough burdens now without adding the payment of a ship subsidy to their snoYIders-" Tromble, turning 10 tne farmers 1 financial problems, declared "defla- tion of the currency" was the princi- pal cause of all their ailment- There should be real govern 1 meth system for the care of the | farmers financial troubles" he con- | tinued Federal Reserve Banks
 have failed to solve the farmers dir | faculties. The government cannot be | coupled with private enterprise and ! expect to see the farmer reap bene- 1 fits
 Should Extend Credit. 1 'The government credits should | be extended through direct govern | mental channels and not through the | agencies of private enterprise Under l this latter system, which attends al | present, the farmer does not get the | benefits of government credits Pri- l vate individuals, having control of l great credit, use it to their own ad- 1 vantage. The government actually
 has little to say about it's distribution
 once the paper reaches individual | banks.
 "The Federal Reserve Banks have l not solved the difficulty, and it vii | not be solved until the law is amend 1 which will take government farm
 credits out of private hands and turn
 them over to public institutions tc l diSburSe to the farmer.
