COOPERATIVES FALL
UNDER fascist RULE

Reports to the Cooperative League
of America from Rome describe the
terrOristic methods used by the Fas-
cisti to destroy cooperative organiza-
tons. The correspondent writes as
follows:
Il could have spent many weeks,
even months, in Italy, paying daily
visits to the premises of cooperative
SOCIETIES which had either been pill
LACED or set afire. So far as I could
discern none Of these crimes has been
punished, no indemnity paid to So
cieties damaged"
"A typically wantOn act was the de-
structiOn of the headquarters of the
Federation of Cooperative Societies of
ROmagna, the Rasponi palace at RAJ
VIENNA. This was a famous old pal
ace, inhabited by Lord Byron in 1919.
When the cOOperators purchased it in
1913 they were so conscious of their
duties of preserving and improving
the historic place full Of works Of art
that a famous painter was employed
to decorate the council hall with al
legOrical frescOes representing the
triumph of science and cooperative
agriculture over the adverse frOces Of
nature such as malaria and marshes.
The work was just completed when,
without warning, one night in July
the building was broken into by
band of Fascist, armed with revolv-
ers, hand bombs, and cans fpetrol
The palace and the works of the CO.
operators were totally destroyed by
fire. The damage to the actual prop
erty has been estimated to run into
millions but the historic and artistic
is beyond appraisal.

in the history of the Nonpartisan

time the I. V. AIS were able to create
a noticeable division among the farm

and it is rarely that you can find a
farmer now who is not Fundamentally
with the movement. Not only that,
but I notice a marked change in the
attitude of business men. They have
come to realize as never before, that
there is close connection between the
prosperity of the farmer and the bus
mess man-that unless the farmer is
prosperous the business man cannot

been any feeling between farmers and
business men. Their interests are
bound together in agriculture. The
business men have been used by in
terests outside the state to work to
their own injury. Most of them were
innocent victims of highly specialized
propaganda, while others were willing
to serve the Twin City interests who
feed unpon unjust extortions from our
producers for a price. Of the latter
class there are few-though noisy.

TO STRESS COMMUNITY LIFE
Indiana Legion Department Com
mander Urges Posts to Undertake
Movements for Upbuildina.

"The American Legion will occupy
it's merited place in public esteem
when the veterans become members
not for the primary purpose of finan-
cial gain" declared E. Arthur Ball,
department commander of the Ameri-
can Legion in Indiana, 'or for the
advancement and protection of their
rights as veterans, but for the means
Of more effectively performing their
duties as citizens and the helpfulness
they can be to their comrades"
Mr. Balls statement was made in
an address to Legionnaires of South
Bend, in defeating the new Legion
home in that city. Head Of great
business institution in the state, Mr..
Ball has given up his work to head
the Legion in the Hoosier state for a
year and expects to stress particularly
the development of community life
through the agency of Legion posts.
In his address he said that the
strength of the Legion is found on
every hand, but that the influence of
the organization was still further felt
when posts undertook some worth
while movement for the upbuilding Of
community life.

Radiophone Proves Boon
to Lighthouse Keepers

Radiophone communication between
light stations In isolated territory has
been found very successful by the
lighthouse service, according to re-
ports to the Department of Commerce.
Complete stations were installed at
Cape Sarichef and Scotch Cap Light
stations, Alaska, in 1921, and after
overcoming some difficulties of opera
ton during the first year, due to burn
outs of the motor generator and wreck
ing OF one of the steel antenna masts
by a storm, communication between
the stations has continued
The two stations are about seven
teen miles apart. Keepers at both sta
tions have mastered the code so as to
be able to exchange messages with
mail steamers and have been able to
communicate for a distance of 65 miles
by voice and 1876 miles in code.
The telephone installation at these
stations consists of type G. w. 9S6
short range radio telephone set, two
three-fourths K. w. 32-volt Delco en-
glne-driven generators. two 70-foot
steel poles and the antenna and ground
system.

Wiring Diagram Of Principal Types Of Jacks.

Because telephone jacks are widely
used in many kinds of radio sets, the
radio fan would do well to familiarize
himself with the various types. There
are five different styles, and as many
as three of them are used in the same
receiver.
The jack most commonly employed
is the double circuit. 1t is placed be-
tween the successive steps of audio
frequency amplifiers, and when the
telephone plug is removed from it the
next tube is automatically connected
The double circuit jack has four
springs, which are insulated from each
other and from the frame Normally,
with no plug in it, the inner springs
press against the outer ones. In the
better jacks silver tips are used at the
point of contact When the phone plug
Is inserted the inner leaves are olsen
gagged and the tip of the plug makes
connection with the lower outer spring,
while the sleeve touches the upper
outer one. The single closed-circuit
jack has only one outer and one inner
spring. The tip of the plug touches

PULLED OFF BIG CROW HUNT
Wameuo (Kan.) Post and Auxiliary
Profit When Annual Stunt
Proves Grand Success.

One of the most novel of all the
unusual stunts resulting from the in
genuity of ex-service men has been
reported by members of Harold john
son post No 172, American Legion,
Wamego, Kan, who promoted and
put over the annual crow hunt. Shortly
after the witching hour on moonlight
night, 120 townsmen and farmers,
headed by two captains chosen from
the Legion post membership, started
from the town in automobiles for the
rookery some fifty miles away. The
strategy of the war-trained service
men resulted in 1,441 casualties among
the enemy A bounty of ten cents a
head for the victims went to the Le-
gion post treasury. Another good sum
went to the post auxiliary, who sold
refreshments to the tired hunters.

SUCCESS OF DISABLED MEN
Landreth Harrison Of Minneapolis,
American Legion Member, 10
One Prominent Example.

Landreth Harrison, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, member of the American Lee
gion and rehabilitation student under
the care Of the United States Vet
Grams bureau, is one of the outstand-
ing successes among the disabled ex-
service men of the country, as he has
become known as a specialist in inter
national affairs.
Harrison, lieutenant in the One
Hundred and Fourth Aero squadron,
was discharged from service, suffer-
ing sheIlshock. AS he had already fin
ished his college course, he was al
lowed to complete his studies, special
izing in foreign trade relations with
a view to entering the consular service.
So excellent was his college work that
on graduation he was awarded fell
lowship in international law from the
Carnegie endowment for international
peace. Only ten such fellowships are
given each year. Lieutenant Harri-

the lip of the long spring, while the
sleeve connection is made directly on
the brass frame. The single open-cir-
cult model is similar
Automatic flament jacks have extra
sets of springs to control the battery
circuit of the tubes. When properly
wired the tubes viii be all out when
all the jacks used are empty, even
though the rheostats are turned on.
When the phone plug is inserted only
the tubes up to that jack are lighted
and no others. When the plug is re-
moved the entire set goes dead. The
wiring of these filament jacks is rather
complicated, but they are so convent
ent that the trouble is well worth
while. There are only two types, sin
gle and double circuit. The double
one is similar to the regular single
closed circuit one and the single circuit
is like the single open circuit regular
model. The symbols used to represent
jacks in diagrams are practically pic
lures of them, so they are rather easy
to follow.-New York Globe.

Coil, Condenser Wave
Trap Is Simple Affair

Wave traps are by no means new.
For several years they have been used
in various ways, but curiously enough
few broadcast listeners have made use
of them to eliminate the most frequent
interfering conditions.
A wave trap is a simple affair con-
sisting Of a variable condenser in shunt
with a coil of suitable size and the
whole connected in series with the
aerial wire leading to the tuner of the
receiving set.
When this trap is turned it weeds
out the undesired signal. Care should
be taken in its construction to keep
the resistance at low value, otherwise
the sharpness of tuning of the trap will
be adversely affected and the signal
strength will be lessened.
The size of the coil depends on the
waves to be eliminated. Thus for 200
meter trapping a 35-turn coil will
be found most effective, while for ex-
Guiding 360-meter stations a 75-turn
coil Is necessary. The variable con-
denser should have an approximate
capacity of .001 microfarads, which is
the general equivalent of 43-plate
condenser.
The manipulation of wave traps is as
simple as their construction. If while
listening to a 360-meter station inter
