A flue Christmas morning and every body smilin’, making a good start for the second week before Christmas when we alLhave so much to do. Merchants will tell you through these columns this week of the many attractive gifts in their stores for you tp give your friends- You can make your list up each evening and do your shopping so much easier and , better. ‘ Red” Grange has received about 1 sixty thousand dollars the past ten days for his appearance in professional football. Where is that guy who tried to prove that a college cducai tion didn’t pay?

If you are going to shop early this is the week. Next week will find the big rush on, then the three days of the following week will finish it. You can get away from a lot of trouble by Starting in tomorrow morning and concluding the job the next tew days. You only have two weeks to do your Christmas shopping and join the Good Fellow's club and the sooner you do both, the better it will be for you aud for every one. The Christmas season is at hand and it won’t be a real Christmas unless you help every one enjoy the occasion. That’s the purpose of the Good Fellow’s club and they want every one to join. It costs whatever you care to give from a dime to twenty-five dollars. Atlantic City will build the largest auditorium in the world during the next year, it is announced. It will be 350 feet wide. 650 feet deep, have 268,000 feet of floor space and seat 40,000 people, besides rooms for committee meetings and smaller sessions. The stages will be 50x100 feet tfnd is expected to attract many big events. The floor of the main room will be arranged so that it can be flooded for ice skating and winter carnivals are to be features.

Edward Very tells about a wellknown business man who lost his temper on the golf field and swore at his cady and then apologizing to the other men for being ungentlemanly. said: —“I am quick tempered, but get over it in a few minutes.’' Aitd Very adds “a shot gun does too but it blows every thing to pieces." That’s what losing ones temper does usually, wounds someone else, the innocent bystander, it weakens your personality and lessens your usefulness. If your brakes fare not working get them relined and adjusted al once. You may avoid a calamity. The sixty-ninth congtess of the United States is now in session. It • convened today and with indications of the usual amount of fire-works. Th e insurgents composed of young Lafoilette, Nelson, Nye and others in

the senate and quite a bunch in the house, have reorganized and annpunceu that they will fight to the last d|tch. President Coolidge is in Chicago where the Farm Bureau is in session but it is expected his mes-. sage will be reatf tomorrow noon. Politics, will receive headlines from now on for some months. Some one has inaugurated January as “laugh month." You know some one is always starting soinetliing and we have days and weeks and mouths now for every thing and tJo many of them that they overlap occasionally.

Since 1881 when the first commencement exercises of the Decatur high school were held, nearly a thousand* graduates have received diplomas and these have scattered over many miles of territory and engaged in various work. Each has had his duty to perform £id each has written for himself an interesting story. On the 28th of this month, it is proposed to hold a reunion of all these together with all others who have attended the high school and are thus entitled to membership in the Alumni. It will be a very happy event, we are sure, and we hope all who recognize this as their Alma Matter will plan to attend and to assist in making the affair one which will be carried on. If you can’t come, write a card or a letter. The affair should be not only a delightful one but an inspiration for those who are constantly working at the big job of instructing the boys anjl- girls- Boost the Alumni reunion. — o •

. WINTER PANIC

The wind blows cold outside. Its dirges of despair Mock at the summer's pride Os beauty everywhere. The last brave leaves now fly In terror down the way, And a cold and cheerless sky Foretells a cruel day. Panic has struck the land Where gentle roses bloomed And the mother poppies stand, Helpless and pale and doomed. The moaning of the trees Has that sad. human tone

Resistance Coupled Amplification Resistance coupled amplification is a system of amplifying radio signals through the magnifying action of tlie three element vacuum tube, it is called resistance coupled amplification because the output of one tube is passed through the functioning of a high resistance in the plate of the preceding tube. The outstanding superiority of the resistance coupled amplifier is the quality of output. An amplifing transformer is composed of two highly in dnetive windings, and it is inherently impossible for a transformer to give the same degree of amplification at all frequencies. This tlstially results in distortion. The output of a resistance coupled amplifier is auditively perfect.

The amplification per stage of R. C. amplification is not so great as that of transformer coupled arrangements, but resuits per dollar is the usual standard of efficiency, and in this consideration the R. C. ampfit'ier ranks first. Three stages of 11. C. cost slightly leau than two steps of transformer, the general run of the latte ' |Re rfwatfoe coupled amplifiers requin ' titr Pc” battery, and, when the uneq mled purity of tone —the quality ci jKh'dered. the efficiency of this auipMj’ing 'system is doujbly estabi j. -
