inS roll of money so thick that 1t couldn't go into q side pocket. Nobody looked to see if he had a metal pencil or pen.
 The grapevine" was exactly right when it reported. that very night. that Sinclair was going to get special treatment The ordi- nary prisoners were already say ing that he was getting "hotvI service' - including, as they put it. "a boy 10 carry his bags to his room"
 He wasn't yet an office man or a trusty, yet he was spending hi.; first night in jail in d frcshly-Incd bed in the dormitory, instead of on an iron bunk in d cell, He had his travelling bags containing toi- let articles and anything else hu chose to bring with him.
 All of this news spread all over the jail by the "grapeyine.' So mo- body in jail was surprised, a day or so later, when Sinclair was assigned 10 the jail pharmacy. It was quite plain by that time that this 5O-mil- lIon-dollar prisoner was to be treat ed aa q separate case.
 Of course, We were interested i'll the job that was given him, be- cause for many years before that the job had not been filled at all. But the explanation quickly went out over the grapevine" that ill i his youth he had been graduated i in pharmacy, and that this was what made Major Peak give him this job.
 The assignment wasn't cspc- cially unpopular with the prisou- CTS, as they had expected that Sinclair would wind up in the of- flee eventually. The only surprise was that his "rcward" came so ! quickly; because it was the un- derstanding in jail that the office jobs came to men, not only be- cause of their qualifications but | as reward for good conduct. lu other words, they had to be tried in the regular jail routine first, and given the soft job only if | found deserving.
 IL didn't work that way with Sin clair He hadn't been tested at all ! His word that he intended to do the right thing" was accepted Per i haps there Was no reason why 1t shouldn't have been. But if it WIS the intention to punish him fo5 | some wrong doing, he was certainly ] having pretty much his way about the form the punishment shouI4 take
 The privileges that an office joL carries with it are considerable To all inmate, 1t just about means the difference between being iG Jail and being at liberty. Au1 that ;a why | say that Harry Sin clair was never really in jail at all - as an ordinary prisoner would understand the word.
 l might say that l don't think Sinclair got any moro cousidcra- tion in the way Of an assignment than all men ought to get whcI they are jailed. But the point i. that ill this particular Jail he go it and the rest didn't.
 Tomorrow I'll explain just WhaI I mean by saying that Sinclair was never really ln jail at all from the jailbird's viewpoint.
 Tomorrow: Smclair's Private Room.

IDENTICAL PROGRAMS
BROADCAST TOGETHER
Synchronization of Two Stations
Proves Feasible After Tests
Through Summer.

BY the Associated Press.
DAVENPORT, Iowa. - Synchroniza-
ton of two broadcast stations send
ing out identical programs on a single
wave length has proven feasible after
an all-Summer test
Success of experiments conducted by
the Central Broadcasting Co. with
woo. Davenport, and WHO, Des
Moines, has led Frank w. Elliott, vice
president, to predict that by using this
method the country's 600 broadcasting
stations could be easily accommodated
in the available 80 wave channels.
Since June the two stations, scant
$50 miles apart, have been operating
in standardization, so well locked in
step that the variation of their emitted
signals is so small as to be hardly no.

SMALLER RECEIVER
RETURNS TO STYLE
More Compact Radio Sets to
Succeed Larger Console
in Popularity.
az the Assoclated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-The swing Of the
cycle. which affects so many things, is
being felt in radio again this year.
The small radio receiver, ousted with
the general acceptance of the more
elaborate console. is coming back But
unlike those earlier models known as
table sets, it is q, Self-contained outfit
with speaker. Yet it is tiny enough to
rest in an inconspcuous place.
Even many of the consoles have lost
their maSsiyeneSS. There are the re-
ceivers standing a bare 80 inches high
and almost an exact counterpart of the
larger outfits.
To Be Shown This Year.
This trend, forecast by the advance
shoWings at the Atlantic City Trade
Show is to be in evidence at this year
radio show. if a preview of the seventh
annual Radio World Fair in New York
is an indication.
Credit for this shift in design, which
has meant more compact chassis as
sembly, belongs to the Pacific Coast.
The return of the small set was first
noticed there last year. Now the en-
tire country has taken it up,
OF course, there are plenty Of larger
nlOQeLS, not 10 lOTBeJ JIlc pIIOllOBLdpll
combinations, including a few with
home record making equipment. Yet
in keeping with the condensation there
is a three-sided set that fits into the
corner of a room.
Screen Grid Tubes Popular.
Continuing their popularity of year
ago. screen grid tubes comprise the
more important receiver adjuncts, with
wider use of them than detector
tubes.
In the makeup of the set the con-
certration has been upon better quality.
Dynamic speakers have been given at
tention, and considerable stress is be-
ing put on a sort of revival Of tone
control. There also is the automatic
volume control
Remote control has undergone some
changes looking toward its betterment.
Dial arrangements have been stnpli-
fed, and there has been consolidation
Of control.

LISTENERS REVOLT
ON ADS FORESEEN
Commissioner Robinson Criticizes
Greed of Broadcaster
for Returns.

Too much advertising over the radio
Is going to cause a revolt Of the listen
ing public, it is predicted by Commits
sioner Ira z. Robinson of the Federal
Radio Commission. Criticizing the "ex-
cesSes Of the broadcaster in his greed
for commercial return" Commissioner
Robinson concurs in the oft-expressed
views of DR.. Lee De Forest, the VEN
Grated radio pioneer and inventor of
the vacuum tube. They will "assuredly
bring the revolution that De Forest pre-
diets" he states.
Commissioner Robinson's latest blast
against the overdose Of advertising on
the radio" is contained in a memo
randum to his colleagues Aon The COM
mission. He calls attention to the
editorials being published in all parts
of the country supporting DR.. De For
ests expressions before the annual
meeting OF the Institute Of Radio Engi-
neers at Toronto last month.
Always opposed to conmercialization
of radio, Judge Robinson believes that
unless broadcasters divert their program
material to more cultured types and
eliminate direct and blatant advertis-
ing the listeners will unite in the de-
mand that something be done.

And have you ever seen a cocker looking egg? He is
pretty that the majority of the citizens of White Bluffs
agreeing with him, and therefore help
bit.
And the question mark between them is defin-
lite dividing line 1t there particularly off the

Now about our town. The illustration wasn't meant to
picture it, but doesn't it remind of factions that inevitably
in nearly every town? Is there Hen" faction bel
igereny standing off and cycling egg" faction with
much air of ddain? Is the Hen" faction independent
going it's way and the egg" faction in turn going
its way with the the Question Mark between them?
Or do they like the famous subjects the illustration
keep right doing business usual the old stand?
If they do and the big argument about progressive
moves is not WHO THOUGHT OF THEM, and WHO
STARTED THEM, and WHOM IN PARTICULAR THEY
WILL BENEFIT but HOW SOON they be put INTO
EFFECT then still get laugh of the old Glen
and Egg debate BUT if there separate factions and
the emblem of is Hen and the emblem of the other
IS an Egg, and if they continue argue about which
first which supreme any other argument it hurts
town.
If the lesson taught by the Hen in keeping having
taught by the Egg of cooperating extent
Matching hens building up the odds against him
self has been lost.
Whose side you on Mister; the Hens side or the

DAIRY COWS SHOULD
HAVE GRAIN AT This Time

Dairy cows should have grain to
supplements the pastures at this sea-
son of the year. There are very few
pastures in the state which are now
furnishing sufficient feed for pro-
ducing dairy cows, and even in these
rare cases the pasture grasses are not
as succulent as the spring grasses. A
little grain fed now will pay good
dividends through increased produc-
ton this fall and winter, says Guy c.
Anderson, Washington State college
extension worker in dairying.
Many dairymen are feeding green
corn or green alfalfa. These feeds are
both excellent, but for cows producing
more than pound of butterfat per
Gay their green feed should be sup
ple1nented by some grain, perhaps a
pound of grain for each four to six
pounds of milk produced per day.
Cows receiving green alfalfa OF clover
would naturally need grain containing
high percentage of carbohydrate and
fats. Barley is of this character and
its price is very reasonable at present.
Barley could be fed either with bran
or oats, or both. Its proportion in the
mixture might be from one third to
one half of the whole, according to
the flesh of the cows. For cows re-
ceiving corn fodder the same grain
mixture could be used by adding one
sixth to one fourth of linseed or soya
bean meal.
During the past few months many
not afford to feed grain to their
dairynen have felt that they could
herds while the butter market was so
low. 1t now appears that the low
point in the market has been reached
and passed. The market is now more
firm and prices are advancing. 1t is
altogether likely that grain feeding
will now pay, and it will surely pay
through increased production this fall
and winter. Cows that are permitted
to lose flesh at this period !. of the
year drop badly in production and it
is difficult to increase the milk flow
on dry feed except in the case of
fresh cows. 1t frequently happens that
herd tests also drop badly if the
proper supplemental ration is not
fed at this time of the year.
