Isaak Newlin. an Eskimo In
his early twenties, Is radio
operator Of marked ability in
Alaska.
Dealers are getting business
by testing out each set sold,
using it to receive over their own

Lakeview, Ore, has begun to
worry about the time lost by its
people because Of the lure Of
radio programs.

equipped with a radio vibrator,

At a ChautauQua concert at
Camden, N. Y, a large audience
was so terrified by a thunder
storm received by radio from a
great distance and amplified by
the apparatus, that they rushed
from the tent, only to find the
moon shining and no signs of q
storm.
Some Of the fire insurance
companies are demanding that
radio plants be inspected and
certificates Of approved wiring
be obtained. Possessors of radio
home outfits would do we'll to
see that their policies are not
affected by the installation OF
their equipment.
One of the great uses of radio
in the future will be the send
ing OF day and night letters
abroad. The low rates that will
be possible will make such COM
munications feasible and eco
nomical and reduce the time
necessary for transacting trans.

Rainfall during the past several
days has been general throughout
the county and has been greatly
beneficial to agriculture, according
to reports received in the office of
A. F. Houston, Grady county farm
agent.
Corn planting is now being urged
by the county farm agent who states
that the soil will be in excellent
condition for corn planting as soon
as the farmers are able to get into
the fields with their implements.
Mr. Houston is recommending the
planting of early or medium matur-
ing corn, declaring that these vari-
eties have been more successful in
the county.
Cotton planting, the farm agent
says, will begin soon after April 10.
Early planting of cotton is being
urged by the county agriculturist.
"There is always more danger OF
weevil getting into the late cotton.

Kansas City. Mo- April i.-Coal
operators of the southwest today had
expressed n willingness to enter into
negotiations with United Mine Work
ers for establishment OF new wage
scale and working agreement. Basis
of negotiations will be return to
the wage scale of 1917 which pro

compared with $3.50 under the ex-
pired agreement. according to w. l..
A. Johnson, general commissioner
for the southwestern interstate coal
operators association.
Under the 1917 scale miners would
receive:

Johnson declared the operators
are justified in seeking this wage

RAINS BRIGHTEN CROP PROSPECTS

from the recent rainfall, according
to Mr.. Houston These crops are
up and are expected to take on a
fast growth.
The rainfall gives the farmers of
the county one of the brightest
prospects in many years, the farm
agent asserts.
The county's alfalfa CROP is grow
ing fast and unless freeze inter
feres, the first cutting Of the crop
will be big producer "A freeze
also would get the peach, plum
and pear crops, as these trees are
now shedding their blooms which
protect the buds against early freezes.
In manner, the farm agent says,
the rains have been conducive to
the development of the greenbug
which has been destructive to the
county's wheat crop. On the other
hand, he declares, it has been more
conducive to the development of the
parasites, which destroy the green
bug. With few days Of sunshine
and moderate weather. the green.
bug will be practically exterminated
in the county, Mr.. Houston says.
