The precinct meetings are being well attended and are developing much interest in the city campaign. You only have about a week to get busy on this important matter. Pep up. \ Remember the smoker, at Democratic Headquarters Wednesday night. Talks by the candidates and by others interested in continuing the Democratic administration. You will enjoy it and will help the organization. That the Gene Stratton - Porter Memorial as proposed here is a fine I thing is evidenced from the notices being given it in many of the largest newspaper? over the country. It's tine propaganda foi*Adams county. I Are you proud of the city plant here? Don’t you think those in charge z have done pretty well to build it up to a point where we can take care oft any concern which comes along and ' f wants power? Wasn't it fine that , I J this was done without a bond issue' i and under a reduced tax rate? If i I you appreciate those things then you i should support those who helped to do it. Another week and the campaigns 'for city offices will be practically over, excepting the work on election ' day. While it has been quiet here and elsewhere, it is likely that about 1 every vojer knows the candidates and what policies they advance for their election. In this city the conditions are o good that we cant just why any one would care for a change < of policies and we don't believe they , do. Batter just put a mark in the circle containing the rooster and let 1 it go at that. The president can’t even follow the fire engines or watch a blaze in peace. Yesterday Mr. Coolidge happened to be near a down town store when a fire was reported and he watched the arrival of the engines and apparatus with as much interest as a boy until the secret service men surrounded him and quietly edged him outside the circle and whisked hint away to the White House. •: 1 J.-.™' Efforts made to have the teachers meet in three sectioual sessions over the state next year instead of holding one big state meet failed. It is estimated the teacher spends a half million dollars in tae Indianapolis stores each autumn besides what they spend for hotel accomodations, theaters and nick-nacks. Naturally the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce favors a continuation of the sessions there. They also favor the congre- * gation there of every organization and just about get it. Laugh and yell with the Callithumpians on Hallowe’en. Its just a big •old-fashioned masked parade, with music, noise, funny make-ups, confetti. plenty going on and a get-a-way from old man Trouble'and depressing things. Get yourself ready.: If you don't want to go it alone, get a partner or a crowd. It’s going to be a lot of fun and you will enjoy seeing it (f you don’t feel like taking a chance on one of the prizes. It's for a good time. Have yours. X, John D. Rockefeller and Judge Gary

The Decatur plant of the HollandSt. Louis Sughr company, opened the *925 campaign this morning, the big mill starting operation and from now on for some sixty or seventy days will be grinding out the finest grade of granulated sugar to be found in the entire country. Several hundred men will be employed and hundreds of thousands of dollys will be paid to the farmers who have included beets ] in their rotation of crops. The plant I runs day and night, continuously from the time they open until the last beet has gone through the plant, the sugar is manufactured and shipped out.

Short Waves. Up until about two years agrr" thi waves below the broadcast band (from 300 to 540 meters) were con sidered practically worthless. It was thought at that time that the higher the wave the better the results. In August of 1923, Mr. Leon Deloy of Niece, Erance, and known as Freach SAB. attended a convention of Radio Amateurs in this country He gathered considerable information while here, upon returning home d< eided to try out the waves around 100 meters. He advised several gmateur* in this country that he would be ready lor tests on that wave Oct. 25, 1923. Two amateurs located in the east, F. H. Schnell and J. L. Reinartz, got their sets working on 100 meters, and gt the specified time began listening for FSAB. They yWere- easily able to tune him iu. and the next evening Schnell, IMO gave him a call, and the two connected and talked for several hours. This was the first two-way transAtlantic communication ever carried on by amateurs, and the short waves did the trick. These tests having worked out so i well a number of amateurs obtained the ’■igbt from the government to carry on experiments on short waves. These all proved very successful and the government assigned several wave bands below 200 meters for amateur use. They are 4.5 to 5.5, 20 to 24, 38 to 42. and 75 to 85 meters. Nearly all the amateurs are to

>e heard <>n these hands now. and he band from 150-200 taht was once io crowded is now alpiost desert jd. The opening up of the short waves mmediately proved a good thing for roth the amateur and the broadcast istener. When operating on 2W) neters a great deal of interference vas caused those listening to the iroadcasting of music, etc. But with he'short waves hi use, very little, if iny interference is caused that ser .•ice by amateurs. Quite a number of those reading his article will remember the writ•rs station—9DßS. when it'-was oporited on higfli waves, but 1 don’t get the phone calls that I used to, since operating on 80 and -1U meters. Since the development of the short waves by amateurs there are nop several broadcasting stations sending mt their regular programs on short waves. KDKA operating on 63 meters and WGY On 41.5 and about 190 met ers. There stations have been reported coming in strong in many far distant points, by listeners hearing their i short wave broadcasting where is it i found impossible to hear their main waves. > When static is very bad on KDKA't I regular ‘wave, they ean be heard or > 63 met£fs very nicely, and with little ' static noticeable, and a 2-tnbe set wil 1 bring them in with almost the sann 1 volume that a 3 tube set will on thi r higher wave. , , It is possible to cover great dis - tatites with very low power, ijsini > the low waves, 9EK, the Burgess Bat

Broadcasting stations have gradually moved their wavis down until now a large number of them are operating at around 800 meters. Stations operating on the regular broadcasting waves do not reach very far In daylight, an average of 300 miles being considered good, whereas WGY on 41 meters comes in very nicely at ooon. The sun It seems does not affect the short wave as it does the high ones, and two way conversations have been carried on across the Atlantic at noon on 80 meters, while ou. 200 meters it would be almost Impossible , to reach over 250 miles, at tae same hour. * The short wavq.s are very interesting. and a set to receive them is very easily built. Any one who would likq to build a low wave set, and try them out can get the hookup, etc., by writing the Ridio Editor, care Daily Democrat. Just ask for the short wave dope, amt send a stamped and self addressed envelope, with your letter. Questions And Answers.
