County School Suupt, J. B. Sargent,
sends us the rules governing the coun-
ty spelling contest which is to be held
in Coulee City on one of the first Sat
urdays in May. The grade spelling
contest is in two divisions. The lower
division comprising the srd, 4th and 9Th
grades; the upper division, the 9Th, 7th
and Sths grades. The text used ir Mer-
rill's speller, book for the lower grades
and book ii for the upper grades.
There is also High School spelling
contest, using Chews High School

this contest embraces all words in the
speler including the review words. A
bronze medal is given as first prize in
each of the three contests mentioned.
As We occassionly hear criticism up

Mrs. Fred Adams

Mrs. Fred Adams died at her home
in this city, Monday afternoon, after a
short illness with rheumatism. She
seemed better Monday, the pain had
gone from around her heart, and she
remarked on feeling much better q
short time before the end came. Mrs.
Adams leaves large family, number
of whom have homes of their own but
who will all miss mothers thought
and love. The children are; Mrs. Maude
Niece this city, Mrs. Audry Holmes
and Mrs. Mayme Bailey of Seattle,
Frank Buchert and Clarence Adams o.
Baird, and Vernon, Howard and Jessie
who are still at home. They were all
with their mother at the last. The
news of her death brought distinct
shock to the community, and a shadow of
sorrow rests upon us because another
life has gone out that was seemingly
needed here. A home is broken and
a mother gone. We can only wait the
coming of the time when all mysteries
shall be revealed. Then we may know
why?
Myrtle Olin was born in Wisconsin
in 1871, and has resided in Coulee for
ten years, her husband beside the egiht
children and two brothers survive her.
Deepest sympathy is felt for the
stricken family.
Services were held at the Presbyter
ian church Wednesday morning, in

During the services all business

esteem in which she was held.

The McNary-Haugen Bill

The settlement in favor of the Nc
Nary Haueen bill, now before Con-
gress is gaining Roadway among east
ern interests.
The McNary- Haugen bill gees straight
to the core of the situation which has
put abe farming sections on the brink
of bankruptcy. 1t is neither make be
lieve or theory. 1t is a logical. work.
able means for accomplishing the one
one thing which will save the farm pro-
ducers- prices for their crop on bal
ance with the prices they pay for the
things they buy.
The bill would Immediately make the
farm commodity dollar worth an even
hundred cents in the open markst. 1t
is now worth less than two thirds of
that. The bill would make bushel of
wheat or pound of pork, exchange
for as large an amount OF manufact-
ured or other commodities.
And this would be accomplished with
out any nesort to arbitrary err unnatur-
al fixing of prices. Under this bill the
prices for farm products would be just
as flexible and just as sensitive to gen
eral conditions as they are today, but
they would be established on gcner-
ally higher plain, in keeping with re-
turns secured from. oteer lines of pro-
duction.
/ The McNary- Haugen bill does two
things:
First, thorugh specific study of
comparative prices for farm commod-
tiles and othor articles during pre-war
years, it determines what wheat ard
other products should sell for today, in
comparison with other commodities, to
make these farm articles equal their
pre-war exchange value. In other
words, if the price of 5 bushels of wheat
before the war could purchase a pair
of shoes of certain quality, the bill
determines what wheat would have tc
sell for today, so that the actual money
received for bushels by the farmer
would purchase the same pair Of shoes
In determining these comparative pric-
es d list of more than 400 standard
commodities is used.
Second, after this legitimate price is
determined, the bill provides govern
ment agency to go into the market
whenever the price of the enumerated
farm products goes below this figure
and makes sufficient purchases to pu
the price up to the proper point. O

No Seeds From Congressman

Despite the publicity that was given
to the action by cnngress last year in
doing away with the free distribution
of flower and vegetable seeds. great
many people do not believe it, Prior
to the elimination Of the appropriation
Congress had about rs, 600 packages Of
seed to distribute each year and tho
sometimes they had hard work to get
rid of them they scattered the seeds
throughout their districts. Apparently
many people got into the habit of eX-
pacting the annual fiift of free seeds
for they are besieging Washington
Congressman for fresh supply. The
states delegation emphasizes the fact
that the free supply is cut off perma-
nently.
According to County Agent Chase.
the winter wheat was injured more by
the cold weather than was at at first
anticipated. He says in eastern Grant
county the injury will reach at least
so per cent, that this condition was
caused by a lack of snow and northern
ly winds during the zero weather in
January.

Fixed Inductance
Set Easy to Make
Outfit Simple to Tune; No
Howl or Squeal Above
ESQ Meters.
BY MILTON G. PFLoM

The circuit TO be described in this
article Is of the standard regenerative
type. employing a fixed coupler. 1t is
submitted principally because 1t does
not reradiate radio energy. 1t Is sim
pie TO tune and does not squeal or
howl above $50 meters. Below that
point 1t can be made to howl. but as 1t
this bowling should be easy TO avoid.
With 75-foot aerial the circuit proved
TO be good on distance work and
very seiective, with no body capacity.
At home. in northern New Jersey,
the author used this circuit with a
short indoor aerial-about 80 feet of
bell wire-and was able TO receive all
the local stations with good volume,
as well as KDKA and WIP. The local
stations came In fairly well without
any aerial at ALL The set was in
stalled In the home of 6 novice who
was able to pick up three Chicago
stations. one In Cincinnati. one in At
lanta. Ca. and Philadelphia. ALI Of
these, with the exception of Atlanta,
gave splendid tone and volume on the

A list of necessary parts (Which
should not cost more than $40 or $3.50

In following the diagram the movable

the diagram speaks for itself.
The buying of good parts cannot be
too greatly emphasized. This Is most
important

Homemade Spaghetti
Tubing Worth While

There seems to be feeling among
radio fans that spaghetti tubing must
be used on set to have ii work in
an efficient manner Though this is
an erroneous opinion. still spaghetti
often prevents burning out a tube by
its insulating quality.
For this reason alone 1t Is advisable
20 use spaghetti. Some of the spa
ghetti on the market Is good and some
of il is poor. And 1t is sometimes
hard TO tell which Is which. There
fore this Is written for the fans who
desire 10 have steady supply of spa
ghetti on hand that will be better than
most of that which Is sold.
The first step In making this spa
ghetti is TO obtain some paper that is
In long sheets. Then piece of wire
that is as long-longer would be better
las the paper sheets TO be used.
Parafin is the next item. This should
be placed on the stove and kept In
a molten state throughout the opera
ton. Some cotton thread is the last
necessity.

The container Is cabinet made
with a mahogany, walnut or oak fin
ish. 1t Is size 10 by l. by 10 inches and
is made with a hinged cover. The
front piece may have a circular, oval
or square opening cut In ii. This
opening Is covered with silk cloth of a
color 10 harmonic with the finish OF
the cabinet. The horn is made In four
pieces AS 1t Is a difficult matter to
cut wood into the shapes given. the
pieces are cut from medium-thlck,

fasten them the entire length Of all
the edges with sticky paper. This is
then placed inside the cabinet. and
glued In place. A piece of rubber
tubing, with an inside diameter Of
one-half inch, and two feet long Is
fastened in the small end of the horn
by pushing some paper around 1t. and
melting sealing wax over the paper.
This rubber tubing can be purchased
at any chemical supply store for 80
cents foot. 1t Is coiled up as shown,
and the end is supported about three
inches from the top of the cabinet,
and pointing up. Cement. plaster or
some other such substance is now
poured In to cover the horn. 1t should
fill up all the little crevices. This Is

that will enable one to wrap the paper
around the strip Of wire three times.
That will give three thicknesses of
paper over the wire. Then tie the
ends of the paper with the thread and
IL the paper is not held down the entire
length of the wire tie it down in a few
more places.
With spoon or small ladle give the
paper a light coating of the paraffin.
Then remove the wire and give the
paper tube thorough coating of paraf-
fin. Set the paper tube aside TO cool
and harden When cold the tube VIII
be firm and easily cut into any de
sired length. As many strips as are
needed should be made at the same
time, so that the paraffin may be
taken of the stove.
This homemade spaghetti is handy
for the reason that 1t can be made to
fit over any size wire from the smallest
strands to the largest. Tie Insulating
qualities are excellent
