• WELL, FOLKS.—
Here's starting some muscular
Action at the corners of our I
Mouth. Said corners are now
On the way back to our ears
In a very generous smile. Our
Teeth are showing. Right down
- In the bottom of our palpitate e
Heart, a, joyous feeling is
Started. Noe it grows. It takes
On sound. Now it's past our
Tonsils. It's up to the tip of
Our tongue. Might as well
Let it out with one grand burst
Of enthusiasm. Here goes!.
Ye Chuckle Editor
Wishes You All
A RIP ROARIN' CHRISTMAS!

Considerable discussion took place
regarding the large expenditure of
Lucknow continuation school in
school improvements the past year
and the consequently large grant ask-

The new schedule of county roads
was then by the clerk, and was adop-

to prepare a bylaw providing for the
same.
Bylaw No.,I3 of 1925, adopting this
Good Roads system was then passed.

OVERHAULING THE RADIO
RECEIVER
By R. M, Sherrill
(radio Engineer)
Now than our mid -minter weather
is here, radio reception should be at
its best, • and static disturbances
should be at a minimum. If your re:
ceiver persists in making static -like
noises, it probably needs a complete
cleaning and over -hauling. If this is.
done carefully and systematically, the
results will be well worth the trouble.
In the first place, get rid • of • the
loose dust and dirt in the set, Do•
this by wiping off all of the accessible
surfaces with a cloth. This applies
to the front and back of the panel, to
the tube sockets, rheostats, transfor-
mers, fixed and variable condensers,
jacks, inductances, etc.
Then use a bellows or a bicycle
pump and blow out the remaining
dust. Take a pipe cleaner, or as a
substitute, a thin strip of cloth twist-
ed between two wires, and clean thor-
oughly between the plates of the vari-
able condensers. This last is impor-
tant, as dust on condenser plates is
very frequently responsible for noisy
reception.
Next, go over every soldered con-
nection in the set.• Give each joint a
steady pull with the, pliers, to see that
it is secure, taking none of them for
granted. Then go over every bind-
ing post and tighten it with the pliers.
Clean Tube Contracts
Next, go over the tubes and sock-
ets. Clean the contacts on each tube
with fine sandpaper, or by scraping
with a knife. If the sockets used are
of the type making contact with the
sides of the prongs of the tubes, spe-
cial care must be taken in cleaning
the sides of those prongs. The con-
tact springs in the sockets should ea-
ch be bent up a little to make a fir-
mer contact with the tubes,
Outside of the set proper, the prin-
cipal things to watch are the batter-
ies and the antenna system. See that

type of receiver.
Q,—G. E. C. says: "I have built a
wave trap to use in connection with
my Superdyne receiver. The trap is
satisfactory in eliminating interferen-
ce, but I cannotAtune with it very well
in ,practice, because of my body ca-
pacity effect. Can this trouble be
avoided in any way?"
Ans.—If the circuit will not permit
the rotary plates of the condenser to
be grounded, the whole trap may be
mounted in a shielded case, and the
shielding grounded.
Q.—M. D. S. says: "I am using a .3
tube crystal reflex set, The set
seems to work about the same, howe-
vr, whether the crystal is in adjust-
ment or not. Is this the usual beha-
vior of crystal reflex sets?"
Ans.—No. It is probable that
your crystal is insensitive. With a
good crystal, you should get much
louder signals with the contact on a
sensitive spot.

wires securely on the cleaned termin-
als 'of the A battery, and coat heavily
with vaseline.
The chief source of trouble with
the antenna system is likely to be in
the ground connection. See that this
connection is on a coldwater pipe if
possible, and if possible, that it is a
soldered joint. If this wire is only
clamped on' the .pipe, remove it, and
file or sandpaper a clean surface on
the pipe: before replacing it. The an-
tenna insulators should also be in-
spected. If they are very old, or too
dirty to be well cleaned, they should
be replaced with new ones of glazed
porcelain.

HE NEVER SAW IT THAT WAY 2 cents for postage and 5 cents for
(money order." "What—" Certainly
In a western city the other day, a
man went into a furniture store to
buy a combination buffet and china
cabinet. He saw just what he want-
ed, and asked the price. "$42.00," the
dealer said.
' "Good gracious," said the man, "I
can get the same thing from the mail
order house for $39.99."
"That's just about what it cost axe"
said the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the
same terms as the mail order house
just the same."
"All right," said the customer,
"You can send it along and charge it
"Not on your life," the dealer re-
plied. "No charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail order
houses that way. Pork over the
cash." The customer complied. "Now
you have to send a letter and a mon-
ey order to a mail order house, you
know."
The customer, inwardly raving'kept
his agreement and paid the 7 cents.
"Now, $rias for freight and delivery
charges." "Well I'll be—" said the
customer, but paid it saying: "now, let
me have it and I'll put in on my wa-
gon."
"Hand it to you! Where do you
think you are? You're in Calgary
and I'm supposed to be in Winnipeg,
and you'll have to wait two weeks for
it." '`~hereupon the dealer put the
money in his cash drawer, and push-
ed the buffet, back in its place. "That
makes $42.32," said the dealer. "It
has cost you 32 cents more and taken
you two weeks longer to get it than
if you had paid my price in the first
place."
THE ALL WISE EDITOR
A subscriber wrote an editor as fol-
lows.' Mister Editor: You think you
have an answer far everything, an-
swer these trifling questions and o1
lige ate: How long is a piece of
string? How much does a piece of
ice weigh? Why do they calla a
new moon when it is the saute mall"
Why do women not have beard.'
What makes water wet? Answ
quick. --Louie.
And the editor replied to each as
follows: (r) Twice the distance from
the middle of each end. (2) Half as
much as the ice man asks for it. (3)
Because babies are born every month
who never saw it before. (4) Mother
Nature knows they couldn't keep their
chins still long enough to shave. (5)
Two parts' hydrogen aid one ;mart
oxygen. --Anoka lieraltl.
