Even in his haste to give each
of the sets a tryout Smith stumbled
over ideas. First of all he noticed
that impatient tuning is the surest
way of sacrificing results. The
quicker he tried to tune in for sta
tions the slower he got them. He
was not long in discovering that
If you buy a reasonably good set
the best thing to do is to learn
how to tune it, and to master the
job.
Not only that, but in setting up
the different sets he discovered
how essential it is to make all con-
nectiOns secure. He found that the
farther the loose connection is from
the final output the more crackl-
ing there will be from the loud
speaker, for the simple reason that
trouble near the input is amplified
more than a similar trouble would
be from the audio frequency am
amplifiers on.
Of course he didn't use these
terms, and when the dealers man
mentioned radio frequency in the
same breath Smith called halt on
theory and asked for few plain
facts.
Il was thinking that perhaps
those power wires out front have
something to do with the interfer-
ence we get" he said.
That's quite possible" 1 admit
ted. "The way we've strung your
temporary aerial it parallels the
power wires. This isn't according
to radio Hoyle. What we had bet
ter do when stringing up a perm
anent antenna is to put it on a
bias so that, extended, it would
cross the power wires and my an
tenna wire on sharp angle"
But just as Smith was settling
down to asking the expert for a
little information as to what a
radio wave is anyway back came
Mrs. Smith from the movies with
some friends They wanted dance
music, and they got it. That's one
thing about radio. When the theory
overpowers you there's nothing to
prevent you from getting up and
dancing it off for awhile.

HOW FAWNS ARE
BEING RAISED ON
NURSERY FARMS

Deer farms for the raising OF
fawns is the latest thing in the nur-
sery line to be found in Arizona.
The system has been installed by
the federal forest service in the
Kaibab area, and full description
of this interesting experiment and
its aims are found in the following
article, by D. E. Pettis, deputy
state game warden:
During October, 1924, the for
est service officials built several
large traps for the capture of live
deer, in the hope of reducing the
Kaibab deer herd. These traps
were located near the Big Springs
ranger station on the west side of
Buckskin mountain.
Word was sent out that deer
could be had at $35 per head fob.
Cedar City, Utah. Orders came by
the dozen. By December Is the
forest service had received requisi-
tions for more than 1000 head on
these terms, but the deer hadn't
been captured, neither would the
people who sent in the money take
it back. Send us the DEER they
said. The trapping experience led
to the fawn ranch experiment
which was started this spring.
1.-TWO herds of dairy cows were
driven into the forest and located
in the -fawning area of the deer.
Ranchers outside the forest signed
contracts at $40 per head In all
there were about 900 fawns con-
tracted. Then the catching of the
little spotted beauties was another
problem. 1t was solved by the use
of muzzled dogs. The dogs hunt
ed up the fawns. If the fawn lay
still it was picked up by the fawn
farmer If it ran it was chased
by the dog till it took cover again
and was then picked up. Does
have a way of hiding their babies,
until they are old enough to take
fairly good care of themselves, and
of going back at intervals to feed
them.
"Woe be to the dog that finds a
fawn when its mother is near. The
least he can expect is to be run
off by the does sharp hoofs. The
fawn hunters seldom capture a
fawn if the doe happens to be at
home
Anyone who has tried to raise
pet lambs in quantities know how
much like big nursery for human
babies his proposition is Also
something of the losses he may ex-
pect.
wild animals are a bit more
tender than domestic sheep so it is
not to be wondered at that 40 per
cent of the fawns died before they
were large enough to ship.
eve visited three of the places
where fawns were being raised.
One had 20; one, seven, and other
81.
Ranger Swapp, with seven, had
lost two of his original number.
Mr.. Judd with 81, had lost a very
small per cent. Although the trap
ping of grown deer in 1924 was not
a success, another attempt will be
made this fall, but if the deer can
not be handled, the forest and the
game department feel that captur-
ing and raising fawns can be made
success, and that with the knowl-
edge gained from this years work
a much larger per cent of fawns
can be brought to maturity, next
year.
"As we went into the Kaibab we
met six fawns coming out, heading
for Cedar City, the railroad and
Massachusetts.
Good luck to the little fellows
and all their little brother and
sisters that follow them. They are
surely good for fasteners to see
and will go far in making a place
for Arizona in eastern minds"

Madison. --During every minute of
the first term of the present state ad-
ministratfon there was collected $l2
more in taxes than was collected in
the last gubernatorial term of the
previous administration, according to
statement made by Ethan B. Miner,

The assemblyman said that during
each minute of the first term of the

spent $3.50 more than was spent by
the administration Of Gov. f. L.
Philip during his last term.
Expenditures at Peak. ,
Receipts from taxes collected un-
DER the present administration and
expenditures are the highest in the
history of the state" Assemblyman
Miner said.
Citing from what he claimed we're
official figures of the state tax COM
mission, the assemblyman declared
the total taxes collected during the
first term of the present Administra-
ton amounted to $67,19S,s43, while
that of the last term of the previous
difference of $12,s77 ,4S5 in favor of
the Philip administration, according
to Mr.. Miner.
Pocketbooks Are Slim.

present administration of $e,T21,013.
"What the people are looking for
is not huge balance in the state
treasury but larger balance in their
poeketbooks," Mr.. Miner asserted.

means lean balance in the pocket
book"
