Compares Montana
With Old Home State

D. ID. Baker, for Is years a
resident of Montana at Nickwall
and Wolf Point returned a few
days ago from a visit to the cen
trail part of Illinois, his native
state. He took a shipment of
horses back with him and manag-
ed to dispose of them. Few farm
ers have the cash to pay for horses
farm paper, even at so per cent
discount, but they will take 1t for
collection He says farmers there
are suspicious of broke horses,
thinking that they must be outlaws
and much prefer to tame their own
stock.
In the Chicago stock district Ba,
ker found conditions just as adj
vertised. If a stockman has a trip
of some distance to make through
the yards a switch engine takes
him to where he wishes to go. He
vas told 1t would be dangerous to
go no foot, day or night. A lone
stockman would be almost certain
to fall prey to bandits.
Il came home glad live in Mon
tana," said Mr.. Baker. Here we
have no idea of what hard times
mean. In the cities l was contin-
ually accosted by people begging
for coins. | saw women and child
rem barefooted on the streets of
Chicago. In the country where |
lived as a boy / found men with
families working for $50 or S25
a month and glad they had a job.
Farmers, rich a few years ago are
having a tough time to hang onto
the old homestead"
Mr.. Baker visited at various
points in Illinois, Indiana and
Minnesota, but nowhere on the
trip did be find conditions better
than here.

Has New Furniture

New church furniture greeted
the attendance of Our Savior's
Lutheran church at the Good Fri
day services. An altar and pulpit,
donated by a sister congregation
at Lewistown, took the place of
tables, which served as affairs and
pulpit since the dedication of the
church basement. where services
are being held. A new carpet. pur-
chased by the congregation, COW
cred the platform and flowers do
mated by a member, beautified the
church on Easter morning. A
more spiritual and church-like at
mosphere now prevails at the ser
vices, for which the congregation
and pastor is thankful to the do
nors. On Pentecost Sunday, May
"a, a special dedicstory service
will take place.
Christ Lutheran church of Wolf
Point was also neatly decorated
for its Easter services Sunday ev-
ening. Palms and flowers, purchas-
ed by the ladies of the church,
beautified the church, beautified
the altar. The pastor also express
SEES his gratitude to these donors.

mer. 1t is simply a matter of
soliciting enough people who have
a dollar to spare. Although money

PENT0DE TUBE USED
IN COMMERCIAL SET
Radio Apparatus Utilizing Five
Element Valve 70 Be Available
Within Next Few Weeks.

First announcement Of the use of
pentode radio tube IN q commercially
produced receiving set was made last
week when A. Atwater Kent, president
Of the company bearing his name, dis
closed that sets utilizing this FIVE
element valve are In production and
viii be made available within the next
few weeks.
The receiver, demonstrated 70 q
group Of radio experts, Is essentially a
per-heterodyne employing the PEN
tode tube as an audio-frequency ampii-
fer. The set is described as compact
and resembles in size the commonly
termed midget receiver.
Use Of pentode valves IN radio receiv-
ing sets has been under research by
engineers for the last two years, when
they were first made available CONNER
cially. AS the name implies. the tubes
have five elements. They resemble the
popular screen-grid type valves, but, in
addition TO having a screened grid,
have a screened plate. This affords
high ampIihcation with reasonably high
power.
While pentodes may be employed as
enher radio-frequency or audto-fre-
Quency amplifiers, they have their most
useful application in the laster circuit
Introduction Of the Screen-plate fea-
ture permits the high emplihcation Of
the four element screened. grid tube,
and at the same time facilitates high
power application,

RIGID TELEWS|ON
CENSORSHIP URGED
Lafount Sees Many Abuses
Unless Regulated Like
Motion Pictures,
BYrROBERT MACK.

Rigid censorship Of television before
seeing" by radio becomes commercial
tied was advocated yesterday by Fed
eral Radio Commissioner Harold A. La
fount.
Peering into what he believes to be
the not distant radio future, the COM
missioner foresees many abuses unless
television is stringently regulated and
censored, like the movies. Excessive adj
vertising by means of pictures trans
mitted through space and 'immodest
broadacts" are imminent unless the
necessary legislative steps are taken.
Science, Mr. Lafount said, unqueStion-
ably will conquer the technical prob
lens confronting television. But there
are many new legal and economic prob
lens to be COPIED with when television
makes its bow as a public service on
commercial basis, as against its present
experimental status.
Seen as Great Force.
'I believe that television is destined to
become the greatest force in the world
said he. II think it will have more in
fluence over the lives of individuals than
any other single force. Therefore, the
necessity for advancing cautiously and
preparing carefully for the advent of
this rapidly approaching development is
apparent"
Existing broadcasting stations, Mr..
Lafount believes. are the logical tele-
vision broadcasters of the future, and
they will transmit sight synchronized
with sound for home reception. The
existing radio law, he feels, does not
cover television adequately, since 1t pro-
hibits the commission from exercising
any powers of censorship over radio.
II believe that pictures must be CEN
sored," he said. IT do not undertake to
say by whom, but I can see the posi-
bility of the right to transmit pictures
being abused. There is no law now on
the subject. unless it be assumed that
the existing radio law applies to pic
lures. Personally I should not like To
see con1mercialization of television until
Congress has had an opportunity to en-
act laws on the subject"
Effect on Movies Is Problem.
The effect of television upon existing
standards of living is of utmost inpor-
lance, according to the commissioner
A big question is whether it will mean
the passing of present-day radio sound
transmission. Another problem is its
! possible effect upon movies, since tele-
vision promises to be talking movies
brought into the home on nightly
schedule.
ut has been wisely said that our
| Government consists of many home
units" the commissioner asserted. THE
effect Of radio and television on these
units of necessity will affect the Ma
| ton.
IF properly handled, 1t can be a great
blessing and contribute greatly to cul-
ture, happiness, education, refinement
better homes. more united families and
an intelligent and united Nation.
"Vulgarity and lewdness must be kept
| off the air, and that danger impends
unless television is strictly regulated
Advertising must be kept at minimum
in the radio talkies' This subject is one
that should be carefully studied by every
thinking American"
