WITH MANY. THANKS

So many people have sent in or
brought in payments dollar or so
to apply on their subscription &C
counts, thus showing their good will
and thoughtfulness in helping r.
keep the newspaper alive, the
thanks of the office are hereby ex-
pressed. No less appreciation is
felt or expressed for those who were
able to make the larger payments,
but with us, the fact that attention
is being given to the subject under
the handicap of present conditions
is reassuring. A slight increase in
the list by voluntary subscriptions
just after taxpaying time in winter
is always a hopeful sign to news
paper, but not always present as it
is this month.
We are still betting that the price
of potatoes will come up to a little
above the cost of production in Feb
ruary, and that the reclamation
work in the valley the coming spring
will help the financial situation with
an increasing volume as the sum-
mer advances. 3-4-5

a symmetrical change in plate current

Trees From Historic Verdun.

Chestnut trees are to be grown in
England from chestnuts picked up in
Verdun. Lord French, when visiting
the camp, picked some up, explaining
his intention of planting them in his
grounds at home as future monuments
to the glory Of Verdun. The Verdun
municipality has received hundreds of
requests from England for chestnuts.
Since the municipality is not in Yer
dun, but in Paris, the requests have
been forwarded to M. Proust, the COM
missary of police, who remains in the
town. He has done all he can to sat
isfy the demand, getting chestnuts and
acorns dug out from what were once
Vaux and Rouaumont woods and from
the public squares Of Yerdun itself.

TIPS TO RADIOISTS

At Muncie, Ind, bacon was
fried by means OF a radio cur
rent. At last an explanation for
that frying" noise.
Clifford Pinchot, nominated for
governor of Pennsylvania by the
vote of the people, acknOwl-
edges his great Indebtedness to
the radio. A primary coil no
doubt played an important part.
An inventor Of Chicago claims
to have invented radio apparatus
that permits of successful COM
munication with the spirits.
We hope that the anti-prohibi-
tionists will not misinterpret
this claim.
The police department Of
Portland, Ore, has asked for an
appropriation for radio recely-
ing and broadcasting stations
and to equip the police automo-
biles with radio apparatus. Cop
per wire, it is needless to say,
will be used.
Lord Northcliffe, famous Eng
fish editor, In speaking Of the
future of journalism, recently
predicted that radio would have
an effect upon the publication
of newspapers that will equal
the invention of the linotype
and high-speed press. He ssid
that radio would undoubtedly
come into general use of news
papers and newsgathering agen-
cies.

e, or so long as the working range
falls within straight line portion OF
the characteristic curve, symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause
symmetrical changes in plate current.
From this 1t can be seen that If the
working point "A" be selected near
the bend of the characteristic curve.
symmetrical changes in grid potential
will not cause symmetrical changes in
plate current. Since the plate current
variation In such case would bear only
slight relation to the grid variation in
potential, the output Of the tube would
be distorted.
In applying amplifiers to receiving
sets used to pick radiophone stations.
distortion Is one of the greatest diff
ficulties to overcome. Too strong
signals will result In decreased am
plifcation. In Figure %, If the ap-
piled variation in grid potential were
10 times that shown in the example
the plate current would not change
10 times as much, because of the
bends In the curve, due to saturation
Finally, a condition can be reached
where the use Of an amplifier tube
will decrease the signal strength be-
cause OF the saturation of the tube
The rectif1ed incoming signals would
be louder without the use of the ampli-
fer tube, because Of the inability OF
the plate current Of the tube caused
by saturation to increase in proper
ton to the signal strength.
There are, in general, two factors
that can be taken from the charac-
teristic curve and the second Is the
length of the straight portion Of the
curve. The slope Of the straight pOr

cal variations of grid potential can be
made to produce symmetrical varia-
ton in plate current, which are tx"
times the amplitude Of the plate cir
cult variations of a similar twO-elec-
trode value with the same applied
grid potential. This means that If a
three-electrode value be used in the
proper circuits in a radio receiver, the
signals can be made to appear as
though the received signal is "K"
times as strong as it actually is. If
two tubes are used with their proper
circuits in conjunction with a radio
receiver the received signals will ap-
pear to be "K" times as strong as they
actually are and so the apparent
strength Of the incoming signal is
multiplied by "K", for each additional
tube added to the receiver circuit.
A vacuum tube used in conjunction
with circuit that will cause the plate
current to vary in exact proportion
to the applied grid voltage, but ap-
parently caused by "K'' times the ac-
tual grid voltage variation, is called
an amplifier. If the tube functioning
as an amplifier is used to amplify the
incoming signal at radio frequency be-
fore it is rectified by the detector, it
is termed a radio frequency amplifier.
If the tube functioning as an amplifier
is used after the incoming radio fire.

fine investment as it cannot be
taxed and is absolutely safe and
yields a fair rate of interest consid-

something which absolutely guaran-

gagged by the rate of interest, the
lower the rate, the safer it is.
To buy bonds of this character
takes men who have already &C

this field of investment to men who
have not that amount of money.
However, there is a system which
