J. S. STARK
Abbeville County Farmer and Busi-
ness Man Nominated for Director

ness Man Nominated for Director
J. S. Sark was born in Abbeville
County in the Rocky River section,
in 1861, on his fathers farm.
Reared in the community where
he was born, he received his edu-
cation in the country schools of the
community. Arriving at manhood
he became a farmer, residing on
the farm with his wife and two
daughters until 1898. In that year
he moved to Abbeville, S. c., where
he engaged in the LIVESTOCK business
as we'll as continuing to farm. AS
he prospered he became more and
more interested in farming opera
tions until he gradually became the
largest landowner in the county.
He retired from the livestock busi-
ness in 1919 to devote himself to
agriculture.
In 1919, the Planters Bank was
organized at Abbeville, S. c., and
he was elected president. His bank
has safely passed through the fnan-
cial depression and is one Of the
thriving istitutions of the county.
Mr.. Stark is member Of the
Baptist Church, the Chairman OF
the Board Of Deacons, a large con-
tributor to the progressive move
ments of his church. He was
leader and liberal contributor to all
calls during the war period, and
one of the three largest buyers OF
Liberty Bonds in the county.
When the Abbevile County
Highway Commission was created,
Mr.. Stark was made it's Chairman,
this being because of his he
ing one of the first and most
earnest advocates Of good roads in
the county. The bond issue for this
purpose in Abbeville County was
due very largely to his influence.
He has advocated every progressive
measure for the benefit Of the
farming interests, being one of the
| early advocates of Cooperative
Marketing. He was immediately Sc
, lected to become member Of the
organization in committee Of the
State Association, which success
fully directed the organization and
secured a greater percentage OF
cotton signed up than any State
with one exception.
After starting the State move
ment he Immediately returned to
his home county, placing himself
and resources behind the movement
! and more signers were secured to
the contract through his influence
and effort than by any other in
dividual, and himself signed the
| largest number of bales of anyone
in the county. His bank immediate
ly endorsed the Association and
fought for it.
A man of sound business sense,
progressive without being radical,
!! willing to lbo ahead, but first discov-
ering the ways and means; conser-
vative enough to guarantee safety;
in the full vigor of his manhood
active and always anxious to be OF
service; never a seeker after pub
lie Office nor an aspirant for posi-
ton his friends in Abbeville Coun-
ty believe he will serve the farmers
Of the State most acceptably as
member of the Co. operative Cotton
Marketing Association.

An adjustable slider on the turns of
the primary winding Old regulates
! the number Of turns, and consequently
the amount of inductance connected in
the aerial circuit. Taps from the
secondary winding (L-2) are brought
out to contacts and the inductance of
the closed circuit is varied by the po-
sition of the switch (S). When the
secondary winding is inserted as far
as possible into the primary wind
ing, the coupling is at maximum
and the tuning has q broad range of
wavelengths with loud signals. For
sharper tuning and for the purpose
Of reducing Interference, the sec
ondary is drawn farther out of the
primary. BY connection of variable
condenser (C-2) of approximately
O.O005 mid. as shown in the diagram,
sharper tuning and stronger signals
may be obtained. The crystal detec-
tor CD is connected in series with
the receiving telephone (P) around
which is connected the telephone con-
denser (C-3). Taps are taken from
the secondary winding about every 10
turns and a resonance is obtained be
tween taps bv means of the variable
condenser (C-2). If a crystal of
galena is used to rectify the radio
frequent currents, light contact
should be provided, so adjusted as to
be moved over the surface of the
crystal until a sensitive spot is To-
Gated and loud signals obtained.
If a more stable adjustment is de-
sired, crystal of carborundum with
the application of local battery cur
rent and contact point of firm pres
sure may be used.
A connection for a carborundum
rectifed CD in the secondary circuit
is shown above. A battery (E), from
2 to 4 volts is Connected across the re-
sistance coil (R). BY adjusting the
sliding contact on the resistance the
amount of current flowing through
the carborundum crystal can be reg
ulated This current should flow in
definite direction determined by
experiment) through the crystal in
order to obtain the most satisfactory
results.
It is important to note in connection
with the Operation of the loose coup
Ter set explained above that the turns
IN use on the primary winding should
be direct inductive relation to the
turns in use on the secondary winding
as inductive relation between the un-
uSed tu,.nS on each coil prevents sharp
tuning.

Lesson No. 81
THE BAROMETER

The variometer consists briefly of
two coils of wire connected in series,
one of the coils being stationary and
the other so mounted that it may be
rotated within the stationary coil If
current flows through both coils in
the same direction, the magnetic fields
assist each other and the self-induc-
tion of the variometer is at maxi
mum. If the inner coil is rotated so
that the current flows through the
coils in opposite directions, the mag
netic fields oppose one another and
the self-induction is at a minimum.
The Self-induction OF the variometer,
therefore, depends upon the relative
positions of the coils.
BY rotating the inner coil within
the stationary coil. a continuous va
ration Of inductan"e may be obtained.
For the purpose of close tuning with
in a small range Of wavelnngth varia-
ton the variometer may be connected
in the aerial circuit of a receiver as
shown in Diagram /.

In this simple receiving circuit the
variometer is connected in the same
manner as a single slide tuner. When
the barometer is adjusted TO a low
value of inductance, it offers much
more resistance to the currents of ra
do frequency than q tuning coil hav-
ing the same amount of inductance.
For use on the amateur wavelength
of 200 meters the variOmeter may
have an inner coil three and one-half
inches in diameter, wound with 20
turns of No. "a SIS. c. Wire and an
outer coil four inches in diameter.
wound with Is turns of No. 81 s. 5. c.
In diagram is shown receiving
circuit containing two variometerS
used with a vacuum tube detector.
Very close tuning is obtained by
receiving circuit connected in this
manner.
Due to the physical difficulties of
constructing a variometer for long
wavelengthS, il is usually constructed
i'm comparatively small sizes for small
ranges of wavelength and as 1t fur
niSheS a continuous variation of in
ductance, it offers a decided advant-
age over other forms of variable in
ductance which use sliding contacts
or switches.
Lessons to follow will explain in de-
tail the construction of the vacuum
tube and its varied and highly val
liable properties in the transmission
and reception of radio signals.
