Latter Day Saints In Grant
Not MOrmOns of Utah

John Edwards and wife, this city
came into the HERALD office on We'd
nesday and made respectful protest to
the answer in Query and Answer
column to the question of L. NJ, Po-
tosi regarding the Mormons.
They say that Frederick M. Smith
is not the head of the Mormon church,
and they are right. Said Frederick
is the head of the Reorganized Church
of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day
Saints, with headquarters at Indepen-
dence, Mo-, and he has no connection
nor association with the Mormons of
Utah. 1t is true that he is a grandson
of the late Joseph Smith who was
killed by mob in the Carthage, ILL
nois Jail in 1874.
There are in Grant county two
church organizations of these Latter
Day Saints; one eight miles east of
Lancaster, known as Oak Ridge, and
one at Flora, eight miles west of Ian
caster. The total membership of
these two focks is about 100. They
are among our best people.
1t is claimed that neither Joseph
Smith nor any other member of this
branch of the original church ever
practiced polygamy Those who fol-
low this cult are guided by the book
of Mormon that it is claimed was
found by Joseph Smith. The branch
that went to Utah and practiced plur-
al marriages went to the western des-
ert under the leadership of the late
Brigham Young.

Belmont Ed. Nursing Pet
Peeye' on Speed Demons

BELIONT.-Th speeding craze
practiced by a few young bucks of
this locality is appalling, to say the
least. Ask any resident who lives
along upper Main street.
And the way they drive with their
cut-outs open you would question if
they are normal above the shoulders.
This is the only town we know of
in southwestern Wisconsin where
these criminally intent pests are toler-
ated.
The speed law which is rigidly en-
forced in Cuba City is Is miles per
hour.
Another pest that seems to thrive
here is the one-eye automobile mons
ter.
In some towns they are not allowed
to proceed a block, before they are
stopped and fined, but in Belmont they
are allowed to preamble at large and
pass up and down our streets unmo-
lested-SucceSS.

MADISON POLICE MATRON DOESN'T LIKE NEW
BARE LEG FAD---BET SHE'S FAT, Err SKINNY

of exposing the bare flesh to the
evening breezes which has taken the
stockings off both university and Mad
ison girls during the past week.
That the fad is outrageous and
makes the girls liable to all sorts of
unwelcome advances by men who OBJ
serve her bare limbs was Mrs. Hamil-
tons idea of the new fashion.
While the stockingless fad displeas-
ed the police matron, she is afraid that
she can do nothing to stop girls from
exposing their bare limbs any more
than exposing their arms except than
by appealing to their better nature
and to their modesty. She was not
sure that a bare limb was indicative
of indecent exposure, but she was GER
tain that she would stop the fad if it
were legally possible to do so.

Corn Grows Five Inches
Per Day In Iowa

While in Iowa week before last, L.
H. Stevens made something of sur
vey of the crop prospects.
He saw as fine corn as he ever saw
at this time of the year, and farmers
told him they never had better pros
poets. A test was made and it was
found that at one time corn grew five
inches in a day.
As for oats, they are about half a
crop. Hay is thin on the ground,
none he saw was as good as may be
seen here in Grant county.
The best he got on coming home
was the improved sentiment here. In
the fortnight gone the crops have
come so fast and strong that every
body seemed to have experienced a
complete change of heart. He can
find no discourageme in Grant coun-

the streets or on swimming piers clad
in this fashion, according TO the police
matron She holds it as an outrage
to public decency and an offence
against public morals.
A similar fad started in Long Beach,
Cal. this spring, brought forth a de-
cision by officials OF that city by which
girls could wear sailor pants to and
from the beaches if they could prove
that they were wearing a. swimming
suit underneath the trousers, but Mrs.
Hamilton will not sanction such a
costume in Madison where girls are
allowed to travel the short distances
to and from the lakes cloaked with
slickers or bathrobes.

Auto Thieves Rob Garage;
Take New Touring Car

MINERAL POINT.-A. T. Spang,
who operates the Buick garage on
High street, lost new Buick touring
car on last Friday night.
Mr. Spang drove the big car in the
garage at about eleven o'clock, so the
robbery must have taken place some
time after that hour.
Police in both Dodgeville and OAR
1ington were notified of the robbery,
as well as the police force at Freeport
and Chicago.-Iowa County Democrat.

OLD TIME HOBO
GONE; NEW TYPE
is UNDER BAN

Since the war the Old-fashiOned
hobo has disappeared.
Railroad special officers are au-
thority for the statement, and they
are in position to know.
The old-time hobo was willing to
work. Not too much, but enough
to make him somewhat of pro-
ducer When he got off train in
a locality that looked good, or if
he found himself broke after un-
winding himself from a brake
beam or climbing off the blind
baggage or the roof of passenger
train, he would look aroand for
something to do.
If he found a water tank staring
him in the face, he would get a
job cleaning it out. If he found a
farmer who needed a few acres
fenced in. he would dig the holes
and stretch the wire. Sometimes
he was able to make hand at
roundup or in killing hogs for
market. When he thought he had
enough money he would acquire
himself a jag and would disappear
before he sobered up. His next stop
probably would be on the other
side of the continent.
Railroad men were inclined to
wink at these fellows on the freight
trains or not see them at all, for
labor was somewhat scarce and the
hoboes could be depended on to do
a stretch of track work, help out
in flood repairs or unload timbers.
This sort of hobo was harmless.
The new style hobo has been
termed the scenery hobo" He
travels, apparently, because he is
afraid work might catch up with
him if he stopped He is inclined
to resort to hold-ups and petty
robberies in order to get eating
money and cigarets. He is ''bad
actor" on trains and would not
hesitate to hit a trainman in the
head if ordered to get off.
The scenery hobo" has spoiled
the game for the old-fashioned
hobo. The railroads have issued
orders to trainmen and special Of
ficers to see that hoboes of all
classes are kept off the trains and
are prosecuted in the courts. The
police in many of the cities are CO.
operating with the railroad Off
GERS, for the new model hoboes
are not only a nuisance, but are
dangerous. Albuquerque has the
reputation of being tough town
on hoboes. The special officers of
the Santa Fe make it hot for them
in the yards and the city police
make it equally hot for them on
the streets. The result is that they
give Albuquerque a wide berth.
Most of the new style hoboes
are young and husky men, who
could make an honest living at
work But they refuse to work.

John Smith and His DAMN
One OF Series of Weekly Articles Popular RadOCopy
righted, 1925, by Uilman Feature Service
NO. 6: TUNING IN

His radio set proving to be a
pleasure to the whole family, con-
stant source of contact with the
outside world with it's concerts, it's
banquets, it's addresses and its
sporting events, Smith set aside
Saturday evening with the idea of
inviting in some friends who had
not as yet got the fever. He could
not have done anything better to
reveal his week-old knowledge OF
radio
When the friends went home they
could look back over the evening
and recall only a succession Of
broken melodies and squawks. They
were reassured that radio was
meaningless, and they never once
considered the possibility of Smiths
being the whole trouble.
It's all in the operating, he came
to know, just as in getting results
from an automobile. His idea in
entertaining his friends was to ar
rive at the product from the loud
speaker as quickly as possible, and
in rushing at the job he had en-
deavored to skip over the essen
tials.
"You can't get the stations you
want if you are in a hurry" l told
him. Patience is the most impor-
tant requisite in operating a radio
set just as safety is the chief point
in driving your car. 1 have been
able to switch into distant stations
that you wouldn't dream were on
the air-just through painstaking
tuning. Each type of set requires
different methods of tuning, of
course. But there are few gener-
al rules to follow"
The Winslow mail., 1925-10-23

"See if I've got them straight?"
he interrupted. First you turn up
your rheostats that control the
amount of current to the tubes un-
til there is sort Of frying sound
in the loud speaker. Next you
place the dials at about the points
where you previously received the
station you are trying to get. Then,
having found it and tuned as close
ly as possible, you go back to your
rheostats and try to get the best
results with the least amount of
current"
"Fine!" I complimented him.
You're learning. But let me give
you a few tips. Your set is not
equipped with Vernier control
one of those small dials that pro-
vides for a finer adjustment than
you can get with the big ones.
Thus if you want the best results
in your tuning you should not
grasp the knob itself after getting
near the ideal wave length posi-
tion. Just stroke the dial gently
with one or two fingers until you
have moved it ever so slightly.
! Remember, too, that you don't
tune with the filament controls, the
rheostats. 1t is true that after you
have your tuning right turning up
the rheostats usually increase the
volume from the loud speaker, but
if you haven't tuned in carefully
you'll be just amplifying noise and
distortion.
You'll find that with more dis
tant stations they'll fade out every
now and then When this happens
don't try for better tuning. Just
wait until your signals come back
again. You may lose them alto
gether if you touch the set. 1t is
permissible, however to try turn
ing up the rheostats little to save
a fade out, but you'll usually find
that on the stations that fade out
you will be using about as much
current as you are able to without
causing distortion.
con your set there are two extra
luSOOIdlO Ou IuC UdCh VI I11C
ceiver which control the f1lament
current for these last two tubes
that serve to amplify the audio fire.
quency, the lower frequency cur
rent used to produce audible sig
! nails for transfer to your loud
speaker. Usually these rheostats
are set at constant point, but now
and again if you have tried every
thing else without getting your sta
tions the way you would like to
have them it is permissible to turn
them up little"
But I called halt on these de-
tails because I didn't want Smith
to lose sight of the Importance Of
looking to the tuning dial or dials,
for his best results. Without a
good tune" you can't expect much
from the loud speaker.
He admitted it was a pretty good
idea to tune in on.
