Hold On to Federal
Insurance Policies

''Hold on to your federal insurance
policies" Is the advice Of rehabllita-
ton oficials of the American Legion,
citing the case OF John Chard as evil
dence bearing out the wisdom OF their
warning.
'Chard. By requesting a $50 cash
settlement Of his government 20-year
endowment policy when he Was dis
charged from the army In May, 1921,
almost lost his beneflciaries $1,000,
the full face value OF the policy, fol-
lowing his death soon after his dis
charge. Il was only through the tar
diness Of the Veterans bureau In NAH
ing the $50 cash settlement check that
his beneficiaries were able to collect
the fuli face value Of the policy.
Chard died on June n, 1921. The
check for $50 cash settlement was
not mailed until July Is. 10 days later.

Three-tube sets are very popular to
day; q three-tube set may be said 70
occupy the middle position between In
expensive outfits. as, for instance. neu-
trodynes and superheterodynes One
OF the reasons for the popularity OF
the three-tube set Ia its reasonable
cost. and another Is that most three
tube sets VIII operate a loud speaker.
TO do this the ordinary three-tube set
uses a regenerative detector and two
audio amplihers. A more recent ten
dency, however, is toward radio-fre-
Quency ampIifers. The primary cause
for this tendency Is that there is no
troublesome regeneratiye howl spread
throughout the neIghborhood Of the
receiving set, and a secondary cause Is
the theoretical knowledge that greater
distance IL possible with a radio than
with an audio stage OF amplihcation.
To be perfectly fair. It must be adj
mitted that practical tests seem to
show that audio ampllncation gives
greater volume on the nearer stations
but win not bring In the FAR ones;
while on the other hand radio amplifi-
cation gives consistent ciearness and
distance The main difficulty with q
one-step radio-ffequency ampllner Is
TO get power enough to operate loud
speaker with only two other tubes,
after hearing the distant station. BY
using q suitable audIo transformer Il
is possible to get satisfactory loud
speaker volume on the nearer stations
with one stage OF audlo application.
though It often seems to be rather
weak on other stations The greatest
advantage Is that much less noise viii
come through set which Ia equipped
with a radio amplfier, and at the same
time the distance Is undeniably great
er II clear reception Is wanted at all
times, the loud speaker should be used
for the nearest stations and phones
for distance; this is a good type Of
set to build. OF course, an
other tube may be added later. but the
main part OF the set remains unal-
tered. The following description is
that OF the three-tube set. This set,
then, uses radio amplifier for dis
lance, a regenerative detector for
maximum volume from the detector,

Having the radio ampllfier connected
TO the antenna circuit eliminates the
troublesome local Interference which
is associated with most regenerative
receivers. A further Improvement over
the single regenerative set Is noticed
In regard to the amount of static re-
celved when a radio amplifier is used
This may be explained by saying that
there are two separate tuned circuits;
flrst the radio ampliher; and second.
the detector circuit. Static. q more or

(storaRe battery tubes. The type 200
detectpr IL very sensitive tube, and
the 201A ampilfiers are among the
best on the market at present. Clarity
is secured BY using only 40 volts on
the radio amplifier. and the loud
speaker power Is obtained by loading
the audio tube to it's full capaeity-as
much as 10 volts Of "B" battery may
safely be used with a corresponding
"Cg battery OF proper size; for 100
volts Of ''B" use q 4M-volt "C' bat
terry.
TO Add Fourth Tube.
As already mentioned. this set was
designed mainly for clarity on all sta
lions using headphones. II loud-speak-
er volume is wanted for all stations,
another audio ampIifier can be added.
The transformer should have lower
ratio than the one suggested for the
first audlo stage--a four to one Is a
good ratio for the second audio amplI-
fer. BY the addition OF this audio
ampllfer loud speaker operation
should be possible az all times. The
separate working Of all tubes tends TO
make It easier to operate than a re-
fexed four-tube set
No provision was made on the board
for a meter, but the use OF either a
voltmeter or anlmeter is strongly rec

An announcement Of unusual inter-
est to the farming and business Ia
| terests of the Northwest is that OF
the Council of States and Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater con-
gress called to meet in st. Paul on
January 5 and 6.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau,
through it's president, j. F. Reed,
was instrumental in bringing the an
nual meeting of the Council of States
to Minnesota.
Twenty-one states are officially re-
presented in this council either
through commission provided
through legislation action, such as i'll
this state, or through representatives
appointed by the governors of the
states. The Minnesota commission
consists of A. H. Comstock, Duluth,
chairman; A. o. Moreaux of Luz
verne and ]. L. Record of Minneapo.
lis. These commissioners and repre-
sentatives elect an executive COM
mittee and permanent headquarters
are maintained at Washington, with
C. p. Craig of Duluth in charge as
executive secretary. The St. Paul
meeting will be the annual meeting
Of the council.
Upon securing the council meeting
for st. Paul, the Minnesota commits
sion at once took steps to have a mass
congress in the interest Of the tide
water project held at the same time.
AS a result of their initiative, Gev.
Christianson has issued an invitation
to all communities, agricultural and
civic organizations of Minnesota to
send representatives to this congress
for study and discussion of what the
proposed new avenue Of commerce
means in our development, what
would be our loss if there should be
further delay in it's accomplishment,
and how we should go about it to OBJ
tain results at the earliest possible
moment.
In addition to the invitation to Min
nesota folks, the governors of AL
states in the area with similar eco
nomic conditions are expected to take
the necessary steps to have large zee
presentations from those states in at
tendance. Officials of the Minnesota
Tidewater commission expect that all
states from Michigan to the Rocky
mountains will be represented.
Governor Christianson, in announc-
ing this Tidewater congress says,
THE way to the sea and to the worlds
markets, from the Great Lakes
through the St. Lawrence, is so near
ly ready for consideration in concrete
terms" that this assembly is to be
held. "for a clear understanding of
what is threatened by opposing in
fiuences, what forces are in motion
to retard further the development Of
this inland region, and how, by ap-
peal to enlightened national opinion,
we may protect and defend our in
terests which are at stake"

FIGHTING THE THIEF.

An organization in Minnesota to
stamp out crime will not effectively
do so without the cooperation of every
county in the state. Just now there
are two such organizations under way,
the county ranger system and the
county protective association, and
though in many places these groups
have already been perfected, more
than half Of the states counties, ap
parently are giving them little con-
sideration.
Through county rangers, it is hoped
to lessen, if not eliminate entirely, the
bank robbers which have been so
numerous in Minnesota the last few
years. Other states, Iowa, for ex-
ample, have found the system, a good
one, and through the threat Of body
Of armed men ready for service at all
time, they have almost completely
driven out the bank and business
house robber.
The county protective association is
aimed at a robber of less calibre, but
none the less dangerous and destruc-
tive-the chicken thief. Scarcely a
county in the state has escaped the in
IOduS VI IuSSS LuclVcS ILLS year. HI
some communities they have ransack-
ed chicken houses almost nightly. To
combat this thieving, farmers are
organizing associations somewhat
similar to the horse thief associations
Of pioneer days. They are banding
together to stamp out the raiders Of
their chicken ceops.
So long as there are loopholes, how
ever, counties without such organ
izations as these, bank robbers and
chicken thieves will continue to foue-
ish. Not until every county in the
state is prepared, will they shun Min
nesota. Preparedness is the key.
When Minnesota can boast body Of
trained, armed men in every commu-
nifty, robbers will seek more promis-
ing fieads.-Marshan News Mes

There are the very aged, placidiy
treading the trail which leads down

How mistaken are they all!
The best year of your life is that
