community to discover, develop and
utilize the mines of hidden talent that
exist in every community for self
entertainment, instead of relying on
machine made or imported entertain
ments that do nothing toward the de-
velopment of community spirit, but
rather tend to weaken it.

In conclusion, the governor con-
graduated the people of Manhattan
in making their dream of a model

speaking of the cost, he said:

building will pay big returns. In the

"At the same time, we spend $685.

times the amount spent for educa-

The governor in the course of his
remarks said that while he did not
want to appear in the light of cast

states institutions of higher learning,
felt that perhaps the higher institu-
tions were being given an undue pro-
portion of the states educational

of Montana, only $1,000 is spent to
put a child through the eight years
of common school and four years of
high school, he said. In view of the
fact that there are 100000 Montana
children in the public grade and high
schools, and only 4,50O in the insti-

The governor praised the commun-
ity's spirit of corporation that had
made the new building possible, and
then urged his hearers that they use
the building in the same spirit, even
to the extent of using it as a place
for community religious meetings.
"Why could we not live and get
along, here in Manhattan, with less
than four church buildings, used one
day a week, remove the big overhead
cost of maintaining separate build
ings and carry on with the same de-
gree of efficiency as now?"
The governor quoted figures from
Montana statistics to show that the
amount of money spent on education
in this state is not of alarming ratio

Ammeters are instruments designed
to measure the flow of electricity
through the wires and are often very
essential parts Of a radio outfit. They
consist, as far as exterior appearances
go, of a dial marked with figures and
a hand or needle. Although they are
not high priced and it is not advisable
to try to make them, still there is
nothing mysterious or complicated
about them and the amateur, who likes
to experiment with homemade instru-
ments, can readily construct an am
meter which will work and is fairly
reliable. This instrument is known
as a "hot-wire ammeter'' Gig. 29),

when Prof. J. Purves Carter. an
art expert, asked Supreme Court
Justice Lehman to make permanent
a temporary injunction restraining
Eli Joseph, with whom he was

Professor Carter said that he
pooled his collection with that OF

accepted a proposal to nenovate the

said he was induced to sign an
