WITHOUT
LOCAL INSPECTORS

Under the present conditions, Pay
cite County is now without local
Horticultural Inspector This condl-
tion is brought about due to the IN
sufficient appropriation to continue
the salary of the local inspectors
which has now become exhausted, j.
R. Mckinney and Ben Tomlin local ID
spectors, for Payette county have not
been discharged, but If further ser
vices are rendered by these men IL
must be done without pay according
to their statement, consequently
their services were discontinued on
Nav 18th. This in many respects
will become a serious proposition as
no fruit or vegetables will be re-
ceived by the the Express Company
or at the postoffice by Parcel Post
going into the states of Montana or
California without a certificate OF
inspection, also all plants or snrup-
berry coming in must first be IN
srected before delivered.
Since the fees turned In py the
inspectors Of Payette County during
the past year have exceeded the
salaries received by several thou
sand dollars it seems We should not
be deprived of the servfcssAo local
inspector.

WILLOW WILL
NOT BE SHORT OF WATER

Reports coming from the Little
Willow District indicates a good
supply of water for irrigation this
year. While the amount received
into the reservoir during last winter
is not up to the acreage, the surplus
left over from last season will pro-
bably carry them through this
season, which is something the peo-
pie of that section can be proud Of,
as it is quite probable that practically
every irrigation district throughput
the state will see the shortest water
they have seen in years. The crops
in Little Willow valley are looking
fine, the dairy industry is rapidly in
creasing and every thing points to
year.

THROW DOWN YOUR HAMMER

a "knocker" is one OF the worst
drawbacks to any community and it
seems there is always some in every
cimmunity who take delight in
knocking, and they generally poor
out their tail of woe to the man who
is seeking a location. Quite often
the sale of property to strangers Is
ruined by some one ready to give
advice. If the fellow who doesn't
like this locality would follow his
own advice and move out, the
people who do like it, would be bet
ter off.

Just a word regarding cleaning
cemetery lots might not be out OF
place just at this time. There has
been some complaint relative to the
careless habit of piling the weeds
and rubbish on to other lots or near
by, where it is unsightly. In the
condition the cemetery is in, 1t is
very hard to make it look respectable
if we do our best, but it would i'm
prove matters if the dead grass and
weeds were put uot of sight and not
left in the drive way between lots.

Use Celluloid Varnish for
Self-Supporting Coils

An excellent insulating fluid which
can be easily made by the radioman
has for its base celluloid Drying very
quickly, more so than shellac, it COM
bines high insulating qualities with a
beautiful gloss, strong body, not
masking the original color Of the coil
or instrument treated. The compost
ton is made by dissolving scrap GEL
luloid such as photograph film in
acetone, which can be purchased very
cheaply at the corner druggists. The
Photographic film should first be
scraped of its gelatinous emulsion by
immersion In I've water, hot water or
household ammonia" The coating
is then easily removed by scraping.
The cleaned cuttings of the film are
then shaken In a corked bottle with
the acetone, more acetone being added
II the mixture becomes too thick, or
more celluloid If 1t has a tendency to
flow too easily.
Coils, such as variometer rotors,
wound on forms and painted with the
celluloid varnish will retain their
shape wonderfully, allowing very
close coupling between 1t and the
stator, this not being possible If tube
or other support were used.

Electric Iron Will Do
Work of 5O-Watt Lamps

Some experimenters, when construct
ing rectifier, find considerable diff
Guilty in finding suitable resistance to
place in series with their battery that
is being charged, other than bank OF
lamps, which is rather expensive since
so many are needed. Instead of this
resistance, place an ordinary plug re-
ceptacle in series with the battery ter
minal and the high-voltage side. Then
procure your mothers electric iron
and, taking care that 1t is on a holder
meet 1t in the plug receptacle. This
will do the same work that 10 50-watt
lamps would do and when your mother
wants her iron 1t is hot and ready for
service.

Splicing Is Important
Feature of Any Antenna

Splicing Is an important feature of
the antenna system. In fact, too much
attention cannot be given spices, tight
connections, etc. This is due to the
fact that great deal of skin reception
Is lost. Fusing or welding, of course,
is TIE very best kind Of splice. Next
comes the proper twisting and solder
ing and what Is called the Western
Union joint. The latter twist is about
the best possible kind of a twist to
use. To make the joint, allow the
wires to lap for five or six inches, and
then twist the ends around the other
wiresas tightly as possible. This aids
the tensile strength as well as exposing
4 large surface for soldering.

Whenever there was occasion to
demonstrate receiving set with a
loud speaker, either In large or small
room, to a number of people where a
comparatively large volume of sound
had to be used, there was always met
the annoyance, to those near the
speaker, Of being disagreeably affect
ed. while listeners at point half way
to the rear of the room would just
about be able to Judge the good and
bad points Of the receiving set en-
ployed. At the present time, when en-
tertainment Is furnished In an audi
forum, hotel lobby, ETC., it is always
necessary to use two loud speakers
placed at different points.
From time to time new loud speak
ers have been placed on the market
However, the manufacturer Of every
one makes new claims only for quality
Of tone, ETC., due to the construction
Of the diaphragm. In principles, they
are all alike, throwing the entire vol
ume Of sound in one direction.
Beginning with the premise that
even distribution of this volume of
sound over the entire room, in other
words diffusion of the sound, would
solve the problem, 1t logically follows
that this must be done from some
point at the center.
Placing loud speaker with the con-
ventional type of horn at this point,
directing the sound waves either
against the ceiling or the floor, does
not help-the problem was one of ac-
tual direction Of the waves. Taking
into consideration the rejecting quail
ties Of the horn itself, as well az
those Of the ceiling, walls and floors.

African Ruler DeUises
Language of His OtDn

A few years ago Njoya, king Of
Foumban, in the Cameroons, became
jealous of the particularly good set OF
secret languages of neighboring tribes.
and invented from French, English
and German words a code tongue OF
his own which is reserved for the ex-
elusive use of the cabinet" and upper
administrative officials.
The interesting feature of this state
language, which was discovered and
studied by Frenchman, Lieutenant
Clapot, is that, instead of meaning
their usual equivalent. the European
words have entirely different code sig
nifcations. ia mission" for instance,
means ito see," and franc" means
"the king" "Ordnung" means we
"savant'' means IAN egg" "lemon"
means "a HILL" "left" means which,.
and England" means "a head."-Man-
chester Guardian.

depend to the largest degree the
acoustical qualities, and to fulfill its
purpose this curve has to be mathe-
matically, as well as acoustically cor
rect, and by collaboration the true
curve was designed. After using yari-
GUS materials, the horns were made of
No. 10 gauge copper and in order to
still minimize internal vibrations, the
interior, as far as possible, as well as
the exterior Of both horns were COW
cred with paper. The illustrations show
the dimensions as well as the curves.
1t will be noted that the inner horn
at the bottom is shorter than the outer
one, and the travel of sound waves
through this horn is directed and
spread against the ceiling, while the
flare directs the sound waves from the
outer horn sideways and downward.
This combination of bells or duplex
horns replaced the horn of the loud
speaker. No power application wal
