they must know that all busi- ness; that all industry; that all human progress depends on the mines.
 The wealth from the mines from the dawn of time is the epic of the song and story of human advancement, of mans march along the paths of pro- gress.
 Show me a people without mines, and I will show you people deep in the mire of poverty, and a thousand years behind the procession of civili- zaition.
 It was the mines that made the greatness of the past; that made the ancient civilizations; that made Egypt great; and made Greece great; and made Rome great; and in modern times the mines have made Spain and England, and the United States great beyond the dreams of avarice.
 Mining is essential to the ad- vancement of mankind, and to the progress of civilization. Mining has done more for the progress of the human race than all other agencies con- bined. Mining ahs made more poor men millionaires, in the decades of the ages. than all other things put together.
 The Government statistics show there has been less mon- ey lost in mining than in any other important business in our country. These records prove that in mining the failures have been less than 35 per cent as against more than 87 per cent of failures in other indust- ries, throughout the United States, during the past fifty years.
 More real profit has been made by investors in mining securities during the past cent .ury tno1 from ~a4v vtl1ef 4Ar,.e.-- ican industry.
 The Mines have offered the rank and file of investors an

 Political Economists tell us that mining, next to agricuit- ture, is the greatest industry ir cur Country.
 This is true from the view point that if our soil were un- titled there would be little to cat, and famine would stalk the land.
 From a financial, or mone- tary, standpoint, however, 10 say nothing about relativity, and every commodity is rela- tive to the product of the Mines, the mining industry ej the greatest in the World. The truth of this assertion becomes apparent when it is visualized that mining gives us the stand ard of value, by which the price of almost everything pro- duced by the brain and brawn of man is measured. Abandon mining and the value of every commodity would be insignifi- cant, and humanity would sink back to the barter and exchange age, and financial paralysis would lock in it's deadly grasp the industries of mankind. It would be the greatest calamity that over befell the human race, and in less than generation civilizat- ion would revert to barbarism, when primitive man knew nothing about copper, gold, silver, iron, steel, lead, zinc and the invaluable mineral re- sources of Mother Earth.
 Those who decry mining are ignorant of history, or they have ulterior purposes to serve. If they know anything

Radio Set Must Not
Be Roughlv Handled

Although receiving set is con-
structed with the greatest care and
strongest materials obtainable, it will
not Withstand hard usage. Many op-
orators will twirl the dials, poke into
the works and jab in the phone or
loud speaker plugs with unthinking
violence-and then wonder why their
set does not remain perfect forever.
A radio set will stand up under q
great deal Of abuse, but eventually, If
continuously subjected to harsh treat
ment, something will give way, or
loosen, and effectiveness will be re-
duced. The delicate wiring, adjust
ments and connections must be re-
garded with the same care that a per-
son would exercise toward the timing
gears, carburetor adjustment or
valves Of a car. The best engine in
the world will go bad under abusive
usage-and so will the best radio set.

Care in Handling Wires
When Assembling Set

When assembling receiving set,
wires which connect to the plate Of
the tube should be kept away from all
other Awires. Wires connecting with
the grid should be kept away from the
front Of the panel and from points
that connect with the ground, other
wise when the hand approaches dial q
capacity effect will be introduced
that will cause bowls. Wires should
run at right angles wherever possible
aHd especially the plate and grid
wires, If 1t Is necessary for them to
cross each other. Rigid wire should
be used because flexible wire Is likely
to sag or swing little If the set IL
Jared and tuning will be disturbed.
The wire does not have to be covered
with insulation. All joints must be
clean, firm and soldered.

This survey included work in those
states known to have only light
Infection as well as those known to
be extensively infected.

The best method Of combating avian
tuberculosis may or may not have been
worked out, says Doctor Herman, but
that fact should not prevent proceed
ing with the present method unit! a
better one has been devised. Where
infected flocks are found the owner Is
urged to dispose Of the entire flock,
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
premises, and before re-establishing a
flock move the quarters to a new loca-

Test Strains of Native
and Imported Alfalfa

In tests designed to protect farmers
against unadapted strains Of native
and imported alfalfa, crop authorities
Of the college Of agriculture, Uni
We sity of Illinois, have found that
Argentine alfalfa, one Of the common
types in the 4.7s2,5O0 pounds Of al
falfa seed imported into this country
last year, has averaged about 1.5O
tons Of hay an acre less than three
recommended native varieties. AS an
average for the past two years, Argen-
tine alfalfa has made 2.67 tons Of hay
an acre, whereas Grimm, Cossack
and South Dakota No. IL common,
the three native strains, have aver
aged 4.26 tons, Ala tons and asa tons
an acre, respectively. Close to quar-
ter million acres of alfalfa are now
grown annually in Illinois and reliable
facts on varieties and planting dates
therefore are Of interest and value to
farmers.

Things Worth Knowing
About the Condenser

A condenser In receiving set Is
designed to have large capacity In a
small space. 1t consists essentially
Of metal plates which are insulated
from each other by dielectrlc or In.
sulating material. 1t Is used in a
radio-frequency circuit to tune an in
ductance coil to certain wave length,
and is known In this connection as a
variable condenser. It Is used also
to stop the flow Of direct current and
pass alternating current, and in this
connection its capacity is fixed, and
1t Is known as a bypass condenser.

Avian TB Cause

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Recently pathOlOgists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture ex-
amined the glands taken from $40
tuberculous hogs which had originated
In modified accredited areas-areas In
which bovine tuberculosis had been
practically eradicated. The organism
was not found in all glands, but Of
the 1873 in which tubercle bacilli were
found, 60 were infected with the bo-
vine type, 45 with the avian type, and
81 with both types.
Losses In Corn Belt.
Such facts as these demonstrate
that the avian type Is causing many
retentions of hogs from modified at.
credited areas, says DIR. J. A. Herman,
Of the bureau of animal industry, In
charge Of tuberculosis eradications.
This fact should stimulate a greater
activity against the disease In poultry
flocks, he says. Avian tuberculosis
exists only to 9 limited degree in the
eastern and southern states, but 1t
is causing great losses in the middle
western or corn belt states. In fact,
In many counties greater financial
losses than bovine tuberculosis, and
there is every reason to believe that
1t is spreading rapidly.

Have Iron Well Cleaned
to Do Neat SOLDERING

A requisite to neat soldering is to
first have the iron thoroughly cleaned,
making sure that the connections to be
soldered are also clean. Rub them
slightly with a file or sandpaper to
brighten the surfaces. The next step
10 Timing the iron. When the iron
Is hot, plunge into fiux and apply
solder to the tip, and afterwards rub
with q damp cloth. When ready to
solder, apply the flux very sparingly.
Poor connections are caused by the
use Of excessive quantities. When
using solder having q flux core, 1t Is
unnecessary to apply any flux in ad-
vance of soldering.

Foundation for Dairy

The ownership Of calf, which later
develops into cow that gives more
milk than any other COW that has ever
been on the place, is real founda-
ton to the dairy business. If arrange
ments are made to breed these heifers
to good pure-bred bull. which Is
usually done. the offspring will form a
nucleus of future herd. At the
same time the whole family is making
more of a study of the dairy business
than would otherwise be the case.
