no one had thought of putting on the
market a bearing which could be
fitted into the average variocoupler.
The nearest thing to a perfect
bearing for home constructors is the
bearing the essential parts of which
are shown in the diagram.
This bearing eliminates the trouble
usually found in ordinary methods OF
making a bearing, nasmuch as all
that is necessary to mount II are
three holes on each side of the stator
tube and single hole on each side

The trouble in aligning the shaft

ball and socket joint on each end of
the bearing. The heart of the bear

tube slotted into four sections at each
end and a ball section in the center

How TO Build Variecouplers and Vari-
ometArs

In spite<of the increasing popularity
OF fixed coupling transformers and
tuning elements, there are many in
stances in experimental work where
the variable rotor type of tuning unit
is very handy to use.
There are many variocouplers and
variometers on. the market which can
be used in such cases, but in some
cases special windings. lengths or
diameters of coils are necessary and
the average Varioceupler does not fit
into the requirements. Under such
conditions 1t Is necessary to make
special variocoupler, using bakelite on
hard rubber tubing and a wood or
composition ball rotor. 1t is also pos
sible to use a piece of tubing of a
slightly smaller size than the stator
tubing.
Bearing COmpIexity.
The greatest difficulty in the con
struction of such units lies in the diff

BEARINGS.

Election of Commissioners.

Madison County highway COM
missioners will be elected by a
vote of the people at fall cleo
ton, the same as other county
officers, if the bill offered by
w. H. Edwards, Waukesha, is en-
acted into law. This. measure pro
vides a commissioner shall be
elected for a two year term and
that his service shall begin at the
same time that other county off
GERS are induced into office. At the
present time the county highway
commissioner is elected by the
county board of supervisors. There
seems to be considerable sentiment
in the legislature in favor of the
bill The salary of the elected
commissioner would be fixed by
the county board and he shall be
compelled to give bond, as re-
quired by the board of supervis-
ors. This measure would become
effective so that the first county
commissioners would be elected at
the fall election of 1926 and would
take office on Jan. /, 1927.

PLAN CROP OF FISH FRY
Applications for the Various
Kinds of Fish Fry Must be
Sent in Early.

Every year hundreds of applica-
tions have been filed with the state
conservation commission at Madi-
son for game fish fry, and it usu-
ally falls upon a few sportsmen
who wish to see the lakes and
streams supplied with growing baby
fish for future use by the angler
who makes this his outing place.
Applications, if sent out now,
will possibly be filled this year; if
you wait until a week later, your
application will be slated for the
coming year or possibly later than
that all depends upon the num-
Der held over and the condition of
the hatch of fry at the hatcheries.
During the past years millions
of game fish fry have been placed
in the lakes and streams of this
lake region. While there seems to
be no lessening of the number of
fish still the resort men and guides
men who depend upon the sum-
mer angler to spend his money
with them-must assist in keeping
the waters planted to trout, bass,
and muskellunge.
The greatest need is fry for
propagation of muskellunge, b a S
and trout-essential in this section
where sportsmen demand the real
gamy kind of fish. Therefore this
call is sent out to every sportsman,
resort man and guide in the whole
lake region to send in his appli-
cations for fry to stock this dis
trict.

Truth for Truths Sake

1t was President Coolidge who
recently urged the seeking Of
truth for truths sake, making it
clear that this age-old maxim has
not obtained in any marked de-
gree.
In politics, it is perhaps true,
that the doing Of right for the
rights sake has not been looked
upon as practicable by very many
legislators, in the presence of ops
posing financial interests which
profit by the present situation.
In municipal affairs and manage
ment truth is too often pigeon
holed as a matter Of diplomacy or
policy.
In business transactions truth is
too often looked upon as a non
essential.
In the field Of religion loyalty to
the faith of the fathers has stood
in the way of real progress, re-
sulting in more than two hundred
creeds and beliefs that keep the
mighty Christian army divided in
to more or less hostile camps fire.
quently fighting each other instead
of following the redemptive truths
advocated by the Master.
The Presidents appeal commends
itself to Christian believers of
every name as never before, for it
is coming to be recognized that
failure to- trust in truth is the
greatest mistake any man, any
church, any nation can make.

Reminded of Old Days.

According to Frank Sherman,
treasurer of the town of Sherman,
Iron county, who lives just across
the Vilas-Iron county lines, log
ging in that section reminds the
old-timers of the good days when
numbering was king in this north
section of the state. Says that
outside of logging, the only ex-
element they have had there lately
was the wrecking of a freight
train on the Northwestern the
other day when eleven freight cars
went into the ditch and put traffic
out of commission for some hours.
A broken rail caused the accident.

Ask Support of Bill.

According to reports at state
headquarters of the American Lee
gion in Milwaukee, congressman
of Wisconsin have received thous-
ands of letters during the past few
weeks asking support Of h e
Legion bill to adopt uniform
draft system in the event of emer-
gency in which the draft is re-
quired. The measure, if adopted,
will require that labor and capital
be placed on the same basis as the
men who are drafted into service.

INSPECTION is STRICT
State Potato Inspector Nc
Donald Will be Rigid in
Passing Certified Spud
Stock.

Angus Mcdonald Of Three Lakes.
state and federal potato Inspector
for this district, returned from
Madison Friday, being called there
to attend meeting of the certi-
fled potato growers.
Complaints are being received
from buyers of Wisconsin stock
that cuts, cracks and bruises are
too numerous and must be reduced
if they are to continue buying.
The meeting was called TO devise
ways and means to overcome this
criticism.
Shippers of potatoes of 1924-25
season, to avoid rejection will have
to grade their stock very carefully
as car load inspection from now on
is to be very strict.
For next season every grower is
urged to revise his methods of
handling stock from the fields in
to storage with view of getting
this stuff stored with a minimum
of damage.
Mr. Milward's department will
take into account the bruises and
blemisheS in stock at the second or
bin inspection and very likely GER
LITIGATION will be refused if it has
not been properly handled.
Car load inspection by State and
Federal Inspectors next season is
also going to be frightened up so
it beheoves every grower to do all
he can to get out his potatoes in
careful manner.
Triumph seed potatoes are NOV
ing out from this section very
rapidly. Mr.. H. A. Weymouth of
Plainfeld is here this week assist
ing Angus Mcdonald, local potato
inspector. February will see the
bulk of seed stock moved out

H. N. Tyson of Evanston, tells of
the death of Mrs. Clarke MAR, nee
Julia ReQua, daughter to Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick Norwood Requa of
Chicago, and niece to Mr.. and Mrs.
Tyson.
This will be surprise to Eagle
River people and the Catfish lake
colony, who have known and loved
Julia ReQua for many years dur
ing her many summers spent in
this section. According to Mrs.
Tyson, Mrs. MAR was i'll only a
short time and her death was I'M
expected, occurring at her home in
Chicago on January 31st.
The marriage of Julia ReQua
occurred September 9th Of last
year in Chicago, she joining with
Clarke MAR in wedlock. During
her many summers spent at the
Tyson and ReQua homes on Cat
fish lake, she had endeared herself
to the people of that community,
both residents and summer home
people and visitors. That she will
be missed from this vicinity is a
certainty for her disposition was
such that she made everyone her
friend. The sympathies Of this
community go out to- the husband
and the parents.

LICENSE AUTO DRIVER
If Bill Before Legislature is
Put Through, Would Bene-
fit Public Safety.

Should the bill before the legis-
lature now be put through it will
receive the sanction of most every
person except, possibly, the person
it is aimed at. This is 29-S Driv-
ers License Bill and is for the
licensing of drivers Of automobiles
who are physical and mental de-
fectives, d ope fends, habitual
drukards, those subject to fits, de-
generates and the habitual care
less driver of cars.
Accidents are increasing at an
appalling rate. Many car owners
and the public in general are be-
coming afraid to venture out on
congested highways. Legislation
to lessen the evil of carelessness
and incompetency among drivers
of cars is being passed in most
states, they requiring drivers to
have a license.
On the streets in Eagle River
and all over the country for that
matter, one can see this most
every day. Men, women and child
rem are driving cars to the danger
of traffic, and there needs must be
some protection of innocent per-
sons from this menace-the habit
ual reckless driver and the incom-
petent ones.
This bill in Wisconsin is being
sponsored by national and state
motorist associations, and should
pass without any dissension.

Illinois, having a chair in that in
stitution.
This section of the state became
acquainted with Mr.. Carpenter
during the time mineral was being
traced in Villas county. He pur-
chased then many thousands of
acres Of land beginning at Lac
VieuX Desert lake running west to
Powell and Manitowish in a wide
strip. He and a company were Sc
curing all the mineral rights it
was possible to get hold of, and
during that time many drilling
outfits in search of ore were en-
ployed in research work. Whether
any ore was discovered is not
known, for after a year of work,
everything was closed down and
the outfits removed. During this
period Mr.. Carpenter spent much
of his time in this territory and

Thirty below and snow foot deep;
The wood is green and the kindling wet,
You can't get the house warm on a bet.
Though you're dressed in all the clothes you own;
The cold goes through to the very bone.
You know; down south; there's balmy weather.
But can't get cash enough together
To get outside the County you're in,
So all you do is sit and grin,
And be content, for you know full we'll
You'll get thawed out; when you go to
