Straightline Condensers Jssd.

When condens-rs were all Of the
straightline capacity type, It did not
make much difference whether clock
wise or counter-clocllwise dial was
used because the increase Of capacity
with dial setting was in the same
ratio regardless of the direction IN
which ths plates were turned.
When it comes To using the new
types Of straightline w-avelengths and
straightline frequency types of con-
densers, OF which one type is shown in
Figure !, the direction of rotation Of
the plates from minimum to maximum
is limited to a single direction.
In the type Of condenser shown It IS
necessary to rotate the plates in a
counter-clockwise direction in order to
vary the capacity OF the condenser
from the minimum value 70 the max
irnunl value.
It is therefore necessary TO provide
a dial s shown in Figure whose
graduations start from zero and read
to 100 in a clockwlss direction. The
condenser plates are then set At mini
mum capa city as shown in Figure
and while in this position the dial is
set on the shaft with the zero mark

er on the panel. AS the dial is turned
in a counter. .clockwise, direction, the

TRIO BREAKS COUNTY
JAIL AT DUBUQUE;
JATLER SHOT DOWN

DUBUQUE-A murder and jail de-
livery took place at the Dubuque
county jail at the breakfast hour on
Monday. Leo P. Hemmer, 80, World
war veteran, married and jailer, was
killed Earl Stearns, the killer, David
Keardall and Harold Carlson, jail in
mates facing serious charges, are at
large.
The delivery was made while Hem
mer was delivering food to the pris-
oners. Stearns whipped a gun out of
his pocket and shot Hemmer three
times. Then he and his two confeder-
ates dashed out of the jail.
Stearns, "a, was held for a hold-up
and assault with an iron bar on a
child in a Main street pawnshop last
June He escaped at the time of the
crime but was picked up at Freeport
where he had fed. Carlson and Kear-
dali were held for robbery. The three
men were regarded as "bad eggs" by
the balance of the prisoners and kept
to themselves.
Hemmer died of internal hem
orrhage a few minutes after being
shot 1t is presumed the pistol was
struggled to Stearns by friends.

Sheriff Livingston was forced to
come home without his man. The dis

Gov. Blaine to demand extraditiOn
and if it is granted, the prisoner and
the money will be brought back from

The Sunday Tribune carried dis

Sheriff Livingston received a call
from Milwaukee Monday advising that
Radcliffe was wanted there. The car
he used was stolen from Tony Casa
grande of Milwaukee last May. The
bandit stepped out of the darkness
as Casagrande drove into his garage
and took the mans car and money.
Radcliffe told the sheriff Saturday
that he had no help in committing the

asked the official. He further assured
Mr.. Livingston that he would never
come back to Wisconsin.

All Advertisements Must Be
Signed.

In the past several months the Her
aid has accepted for publication two
advertisements of meetings of So
ciety. These advertisements were
brought to us and not solicited by us.
We realized at the time that their ap-
pearance would probably cause crit
icism but felt as public newspaper
we had to accept advertising offered
us providing it did not conflict with
laws governing advertising matter.
AS we expected and knowing the
condition of the public mind reprisals
have been considered. That any should
be directed at us is unfair but we re-
alize also that people when they
think they are being attacked do not
discriminate or reason things out.
They are prone to strike blindly
The Herald does not withdraw from
its stand that we have the right to
accept advertising offered us just as
any other business firm accepts bus
mess from whom it is offered.
On the other hand, to put it plain
ly, we do not care to be "the Goat"
for anybody or anyone. We do not
care to be whipping boy for any in
dividual or any organization.
Therefore and in the future we will
require that all such advertisements
from any source or any society ap-
pearing in this paper bear the names
of at least three responsible and local
members of the organization or sOci-
ety. If they have the courage of their
convictions they should not object to
being sponsors for the ad
This office is not going to be any,

forced without fear or favor.

LARGEST FISH,
US. PROMISED
GAME REFUGE IN
Government Experts Max
ing Survey Along the
Upper Mississippi.

MGREGOR, Ia.-To help in getting
started purchase of lands tor the
e,roa+ Mississippi river wild life and
feh refuge authorized by congress,
Dr n w Nelson, chief of the U. S.
biological Survey, is himself spend
ing this week in upper river cities,
making his headquarters at Wlnona
and working with William T. Cox, the
newly appointed superintendent of the
refuge.
The congressional act making the
refuge possible authorized the ap-
preparation of $1,500,000 to purchase
bottom lands along the Mississippi
river between Wabasha, Mimi, and
Rock Island, ILL., Last spring con-
gress appropriated $4,000 of this
amount which is now available. Such
purchases. however, are limited by
law to an average price of $500 an
acre Owing to this restriction, Dr.
Nelson said the Biological Survey,
which is in charge of the work of
the refuge, is very anxious to secure
information at once of tracts within
the refuge which owners are willing
to sell at low prices.
Cooperation Desired
DIR. Nelson further stated that
friendly interest and active co-opera-
ton of people along the Upper Mis-
sissippi is particularly hoped for, as
such interest will accelerate the es-
adjustment and development of this
great project. He has found consid-
cradle evidence that such friendly
desire to cooperate exists, and pro-
nounces himself delighted with the
present prospect that a good body
of land will be secured at an early
date.
The refuge, when completely es-
tablished will be the largest in the
United States, DR.. Nelson said. Be
sides giving the fish and wild fowl a
chance to grow in numbers, the es-
tablishment of the refuge will bring
back the valuable fur-bearing ami
mails, he believes. Muskrat and mink
are certain to increase under protec-
ton and preservation of their natural
habitat There is a chance also, he
thinks, that the beaver, once plentiful
in the Upper Valley, may be restored
to it.

Waste.

waste
It has been said and truthfully said,
that we are the most wasteful and
prodigal set of people on earth. A
European would live and live well on
what we throw away.
The reason is plain. We are few
in number in vast territory and we
have abundant natural resources. And
because our resources are or have
been abundant, we scatter them to the
winds like rain Soon, very soon, we
will begin to pay. For instance, our
natural forests, the greatest on earth,
have been ravished in half century
Today Europe has more timber than
it had fifty years ago. The Alps are
covered with fine forest growth. The
once abundantly forested Alleghanies,
the Appalachians, the Rockies and the
Cascades are denuded with no re-
foresting worthy of the name. What
a contrast
AS a slight but signal example of
waste we cite our own government.
Bulletins which nobody reads, are
sent out from Washington by the car
loads. For instance, the writer along
with ton or so of other stuff, just
threw away report from the depart
ment of commerce on the results of a
farm census in Clayton county, Iowa.
The report on Grant county would
be welcomed and printed in full. 1t
would be good news. But what in the
name of heaven is the value to our
readers or to us of report on condi-
lions in an Iowa county? We ask
you! We wouldn't print it. If we did
nobody would read it.
Just an indication of national waste,
trivial as it may be. Uncle Sam, in
stead of setting a good example for us,
is the worst offender of ALL
