XXII. THE SIMPLEST SENDING SET
Although It may be possible to de
vise a transmission set or radiophone
which Is simpler than that shown In
Fig. C8, It Is questionable If anything
Impler would really be efllclent. At
any rate, this Is so extremely simple
that the veriest amateur should have
no dlfllculty In setting It up. It has
only two adjustments, the rheostat
and the varluble cpndeoser. More
over, It Is n very cheap set and, aside
from the butteries, there Is nothing
which need be purchased ready-made
(eAcpt wire) other than the follow
ing: X Vnrlablo con lenser of .0005 mfds.
X JfUernphnno or telephone trans

1 Vacuum tube and socket.

XXIII. ANOTHER SIMPLE TRANSMISSION SET
One of the simplest transmission
aets which can be devised for really
practical work Is that shown In Fig.
BO. In tills set, the only Instruments
which are required are as follows:
Vacuum tube with socket.
Variable condenser of .001 mfd.
Telephone transmitter or micro
phone. 00 volt IMmttcry.
O'volt storage battery (ordinary
dry batteries may bo used).
2 Fixed condensers of .0005 mfd.
1 Modulation 'transformer or an old
typo Ford spark coll.
1 Rheostat.
In addition, you will need some No.
28 B. & S. double covered cotton In
sulated wlro.
No. 20 It. & S. doublo covered cot
ton Insulated wire.
2 pasteboard tubes Inch In di
ameter and 2 Inches long.
1 pasteboard tube 3 Inches In di
ameter and 2 Inches long.
A supply of ordinary cotton-covered
bell wire.
Aerial wlro (No. 14), seven-strand
phosphor bronze or copper Is best, but
plain will do.

Among the things that Mr. l'lerco
has prated about to farmer audiences
1b the difficulty that tho furmer las
had and atill has In obtaining money
cheaply enough and for sufficient
length of time to enable him to con
duct the ordinary transactions of his
business affairs. One of the fund
which has been created for the farm
ers of Oregon, from which they might
obtain money at a lower rate of in
terest, Is the Irrodiuibh) school fund.
We have heard U great deal about
tha oacrudness of this fund both from
Mr. Iierce and from somo of his Demo
cratic allies,.. Mr. liereo has been

tot tfi farmer would Indicate. Let
us IDjstrate Mr. lierco's deep af
fenth :i and abiding love for this source
of cli( ap money.
The creators of' the Irreducible
school fund wished to provide loans
for si-.all farmers on tho theory that
the ; irgor farmers such as Mr.
I'ler"(. is (tho assessed value of hie
prop-' ty 'being J253.000.00) are able
to ta ie care of themselves. They
passer statutory enactment to the ef
fect t' at no one individual could bor
row f; om this fund an amount greater
than ! 5,000; nor could he get his loan
for a. longer period than ten years,
and b should be permitted to borrow
It at t te low rate of 6.
Acc irdlng to the records of Union
Count ' (Book 36 of Deeds, page 521),
Walto- M. Pierce sold to Charles M.
Tier , his brother, one of his tracts of
land. :or the sum of $15,600.00. This
trans; ?tlon occurred on November
16th, "903.
Sovn days later, Charles M. Pierce
borrowed $5,000.00, the limit that he
could !?ot from the school fund, from
the Slate Land Board.
Sewn days after the money was
borrowed on this farm, Charles Pierce
sold it back again to his Brother Wal
ter. f( r a consideration of $15,600.00
the ;xact amount that he paid for it
and 11. e record states that Walter M.
Pierce assumes and agrees to pay the
mortg-y;e. .
Nov 'mber 16, 1903 on the same
day on which Walter sold property to
his br ither Chorles he also sold, an
other farm to his sister, Minnie
Pierce For this farm he received $16,
600.00. On the same day that Brother
Charlrs borrowed $5,000,00 from the
Statu Land Board, Sifter Minnie also
borroved $5,000.00 from the State
Board the acknowledgment of this
tranpneAft. bjikig taken by Walter M.
Pierre, rifhuolf,' as Notary Public In
Union County.
For some reason or other, Minnie
B. Plo.ce did not like the farm she had
bough 1 from Walter, any more than
Brotbi r Charles liked his farm, for
on LHcember 12 (19 days after she
had e'ven the mortgage), she sold the
farm back to Walter for $16,600.00,
the e: act sum that she paid for it,
Walt !: M. Pierce again kindly assum
ing ai d agreeing to pay the mortgage.
Nov imber 16th, 1903, seems to have
been n very busy day for "Walter M.";
for, In addition to the farms that he
sold ti his brother Charles and his
sister Minnlo, he alBO sold, on the
same i'.ay, another farm to his brother
Goor;r , for the consideration of $15,
600.00. By a strange coincidence, George
also h id to borrow some money on his
newlv purchased farm and, on Novem
ber 2 , 1903 the same day that his
brother Charles borrowed $5,000.00
froia ho Stato Land Board brother
Oeorr-fllBo borrows $5,000.00 from the
State '..and Board.
Rvii'ently brother Ooorgo didn't like
his bi -gain any better than the other
relatives for, a fow days later to-wit:
Deceit bor 16th, 1903, he sold the farm
back to Walter for $15,600.00, the
same amount that he paid for It,
Waller again assuming tho $5,000.00
mortgage. This sum seems to be a
lavoi i'e In the Pierce family for it is
tho f' i no amount that Brother Charles
had pild ior his farm, on the same
day. Rvldently Walter did not care
to sho v any partiality between his two
brothers. It may not be of any" bene
fit to he account of this transaction,
but 11 vertheless It should be noted
that t eso considerations, received by
Walto. for the sale of these farms to
his r lalivos, Is slightly over three
times the $5,000.00 mortgage. The
State Law requires that the State
Land loard can make no loans from
tho Irieduelble School Fund for more
than ( no-lhlrd tho value of the prop
erty Ii volved, but that Walter should
always, sell for thrice the limit he
could iorrow, may bo a mere Incident.
No mbor 16, 1903, was apparently
a rem irkable day in Walter's Real
F-stni.' career for, in. addition to the
throo farms above mentioned, which
ho sol 1 that day to his brothers qnd
sister, ho also sold a farm to Thomas
J. Tv. ( edy, a near friend of his, folj be
flat n nsldoratlqn of .flMOOO.
. It r 3ms""too Strang to be true, but
Thon . a Tweedy, on November 23rd
tho ; 1110 day that othor mortgages
were undo to the State Land Board,
also I rrowa $5,000.00 of tho sacred
lrred :. Ible school fund, and, to make
the co ncldenco still moro remarkable,
011 I!'eniber 12th, heboid the place
back t-i Walter M. Pierce for $1(7,000.00
the -xact amount ho paid for it
the in'ablo Mr. Pierce agreeing to,as
same .uid to pay ttio $5,000.00 mort
gage. Put his does not account for all Mr.
Pievc traiiKartfons on that busy day.
Kvl.l. 1 tly, they were having a "sell-yonr-i-rm"
clay on November 16th, In
I'iihiu County, for Walter on that day
ells .0 ono George W. Tato, a
lim it'' --s associate, another one of his
tinnier ma Union County farms, receiv
ing f. r this fno $17,200.00. This
niiiui.iii received for this place would
Indie. ,'i that Walter drove 11 harder
h.ii'iMt 1 with his business associates
than lu did with his relatives.
Bui, If November 16th was "sell
your !. rm-diiy" In Union County, Kov
einbi - 2:ird was also "mortgage-your-farm-.

For !'!. records show that George W.
Tate. ,11 that day, borrowed $5,000.00
from t io Siito Land Board the mort
gage n te being acknowledged in statu
tory f irm before Walter M. l'lerco
hliiixo!', as Notary Public for Union
Count.' .
How tho minds of the purchasers, of
these various tracts ran "willingly
along" together, is indicated by the
fact th it Mr. Tato, on November 80th,
seven lays after he made his real es
tate deal, sold his newly-purchased
place back to Walter M. Pierce, for
$17,2oi 00 the same amount he had
paid 1 r'it, Mr. Pierce again kindly

In I.'. . Kstato that occurred at that

Kvld -iOv Walter did .not propose; to
be outdone by tui.se to v.iom lie had,
sold his property for, on November
23rd, the snmo day tht-t the others bor
rowed money from . the State Land
Board, Book 29 of Mortgages for Union
County, shows that the- future non
partisan candidate of the Democratic
Party for Governor, also borrowed
$5,000.00 from the State Land Board,
and, having assumed tho mortgages of
tho other five farms which he had sold
to his relatives and friends, Mr. Pierce
now bad $30,000.00 of the State's Sa
cred Irreducible School Fund for
which he was paying Interest at the
Insignificant rate of 6.
There were other farmers, however,
in Eastern Oregon who were not so
fortunate as to secure even $5,000.00,
or smaller sums, from the State Land
Board, or any other board, at 694j

. The purpose of the compulsory public school attendance hill is to insure
the Instruction of all Oregon children of grammar school age In a common
language, a common history and common Ideals, to the end that American
unity shall be promoted. American ideals safeguarded and American insti
tutions perpetuated.
This bill Is proposed hecauso Its supporters believe that only by universal
education of our children on standard and uniform lines can these things be
achieved.
This bill proposes no religious restrictions. It contemplates no limitation
of the right of the parent to teach religion to his child In his own way and
according to his own belief. It raises no issue of religious difference.
This bill Is purely a measure to Insure that all children by attending the
public schools shall be taught alike "during their grammar school years, so
that their outlook may grow to be a unified outlook for the common weal
and for their country and Its institutions.
To make an all-Amerlcan nation we must have all-Amerlcan instruction
of our children along recognized standard lines. Ignorance of American
ideals and Institutions and language Is the greatest menace to them, because
those who do not understand them properly do not support them.
