When You Build a Set.


1t pays to take your time in it's con-
struction. In this as in all other
things an ounce of prevention is. worth
a pound Of cure. and if you take care
of the little things, you will have very
little trouble when the set is COM
pleted.
See to it that the socket springs are
frightened in place so as to eliminate
noises due to loose connections be-
tween the socket springs and the bind
ing posts and connections to other
parts of the set. No matter how hard
these are frightened they have a way
turn the socket over and solder the
head of the screw to the spring. The
screw can then be frightened by tighten
ing the nut on the top of the socket.
This insures an absolutely reliable
contact
Be careful to see that the parts are
so arranged that short-circuits and
possible blowing of tubes are reduced
to minimum. A fan recently wrote me
of his experience along this line, and
asked me to pass it on to other fans.
The pointer of his rheostat was rather
long. The rheostat had been placed
near jack. When he turned on his
rheoStat he blew out three tubes. In
looking for the trouble he discovered
that the long pointer had touched the
jack, thereby connecting his B battery
voltage with the negative terminal of
the A battery and socket, and placing a
high voltage across the filament Of the
tube. The result you know.
Best Parts Essential.
Make sure to get the best parts.
This is a pointer which will always
bear repeating. Do not pride yourself
on how cheaply you can assemble a set.
Remember that the important part of
works and works well. You can't build
that kind of a set with cheap, in
efficient parts.
Remember that the fellow who de-
signed the set propably knew what
he was about Don't try to 'im-
prove" on his diagram, description or
layout unless you feel experimentally
sponsibility for poor results upon
yourself. You may improve the orig
inal set but the chances are that you
will not.
Do not slap the stuff together with
the idea that If it works you will go
over il again and make a better job
of 1t. The chances are that 1t will
not work well and you will discard a
good circuit merely because you did
not give II chance to show It's stuff
If you haven't the time to do good
job, leave 1t alone.
1t is not necessary to use spaghetti
insulation on every wire in the set
unless you like it's looks and feel
that it's use makes you prouder of
your work. However. there are GER
tain places especially where A bat
terry and B battery leads run danger
ously close to each other where the

in spite of this i am not a pacifist,"
in an address before the Sunday

He compared the pacifsts of TODAY

ideplored destruction of battleships
and the disbanding of regiments.
The trouble with America today
he continued, 'is there are too MANY
preachers legislating and too few
legislators praying.
More Than Treaties Needed.
Ireatles, documents, constitu-
t1ons and conventions will not bring
peace. 1t VIII take something more
than documents to bring peace. Our
democracy rests upon fine thinking,

OF our men and women. Get right
with God and help other people do
the same and there will be no more
war in the world.
The model citizen today is the
man who can successfully evade the
laws. We didn't have as many laws
when we started the government.
I'd like to operate on the body polite
and remove several hundred thousand
laws and leave only the ten COM
mandments and the golden rule that
we started with.

COOLIDGE TO VETO
ALL TAX INCREASES

WASHINGTON, April Z. =
While the senate finance commit
tee warned of a $75,OOO,0OO de-
ficit as result of reductions now
carried by the revenue bill, turned
to means of raising new revenue,
President Coolidge late Friday an
nounced a general policy of oppos-
tion to any new taxes.
Mr.. Coolidge, while not express
ing any specific attitude on the new
taxes voted last night by the COM
mitee radio and Nah Jongg sets
indicated he would approve new
levies only if designed to shift the
tax burden from a class or interest
now heavily taxed to a class or in.
terest which might without injury
bear additional taxation.
Before taking up the remaining
exercise and miscellaneous tax rates
Chairman Smoot called attention to
estimates which he said showed the
bill as now framed would fall by
about $75,OO0,000 to raise suffi-
cient revenue in the next fiscal year.

will of his fellow citizens. This
lis shown by the words of Mr.. Paulk,
county Turner Superior court clerk
he says true, there have been
quite a number of mortgage fore
closures recorded in my office dur.
ing 1928; but, widely acquainted
with the people of Turner county
as | am, I can say that in no I'M
stance in which debtor has adopt
ed the Turner county plan and was
trying conscientiously to follow ii
on his farm, have foreclosure pro
ceedings been filed against him. in
every instance the foreclosures have
been against men who were not
trying to make good" John j.
Story, clerk of the city Of Ashburn,
and engaged in the real estate q! q
loan business, says: "The city for
the first time in many years, is
running on cash basis, it having
got out of debt, with the exception
of its bonded debt of 100000
which has several years to run. This
is the first time since l have been
clerk that we were able to meet
our floating debt.
According to Agent Rails Turner
County sold and shipped through his
office during 1923 the following
products: Peanuts, 1925, 900; hogs,
$4,000; poultry and eggs, $50,-
600; cream 100000; corn, beans
and hay $4,000; watermelons, $10,-
600, cotton, 100000; sweet pota-
toes $500; syrup $1,000; beef
cattle, $4,000, these make total
of one million two thousand five
hundred dollars, besides this amount
the Ashburn Distributing company
paid for cream in 1928 to the farm
ers of Turner the sum of $216,887
SO, and $4,000 for poultry and
eggs. Thus there has been paid
into the hands of 900 farmers OF
Turner during the year 1923 the
staggering total of $1,246,6873G
for which we have the records 10
show. This means that every farm
which joined in the Turner county
plan and there are 900 plows in the
organization was paid for their prod
ucts an average of $1,385.20, or
more thar 100 dollars for every
man, woman and child in the coun-

MOTORISTS MUST HAVE
TAGS TO OPERATE CARS

BUTLER, April 7.-Sheriff
McGuffin has been very nice,
indeed, in putting off as long as
possible the "evil day" of en-
forcing the law against operat-
ing cars and trucks without
license tags for 1924. March
LIST was the time allowed in
which to get tags, but to further
accommodate auto towners the
sheriff granted an extension of
thirty days or to April LIST, yet
there are those who have still
delayed the matter. To such the
sheriff insists that cars must be
kept off the road until tags have
been secured, or a receipt there
for produced, otherwise he says
he will take steps to see that the
law is enforced.
