TELEVISION TO BEGIN JULY 22
New Grand Exalted Elk
Station W2XAB Licensed Experimentally by Federal Government.
New York, July IfJ.— (UP)—Television experiments by the Columbia broadcasting system will determine, among other things, whether photo-electric cells 'prefer blondes. The cells have registered a definite and almost violent objection to the boiled shirt. A Columbia official, correct in every detail from white tie to patent leather shoes, stepper before the newest hazard for broadcasters, a photo-electric cell hanky and the transmitter promptly went off the air. Engineers explained that the boiled shirt, and not the official’s personal rna&nitism, was responsible. Television has advance with such rapidity that. “Miss Television” now takes her place in a bathing suit with Miss Universe and Miss West Texas Chamber of Commerce. Miss Natalie Towers had been selected as the ideal television type and has been photographed in a bathing suit with a “Miss Television” ribbon over her
shoulder.
.Miss Towers is a brunette. This might be discouraging to blondes, with the photo-electric cells feeling the way they do about boiled shirts and theTightep things in life. But Columbia officails insist that

The information was based on facts provided Mr. Schortemeier and Fred E. Bryan of Chicago, vice president of the company, by M. J. Morgan, president of the Indiana Limestone Company, Lid., of Men-
age fees. If the Federal Farm Board would take such a stand as the grain trade demands and promise not to sell stabilization grain this season, elevator owners will be guaranteed a nice income. In such event they would not enter the market this season and buy the farmers’ grain because they would have no empty elevators in which to sto/e it, and then we might expect a further decline in the present low prices of grain.” On the other hand, according (o Mr. Settle, if the Federal Farm Board disposes of the grain now being held in storage, the grain trade would be forced into the markets to buy the farmers’ wheat or permit their elevators to stand idle and produce no income. “If the Federal Farm Board finds itself in position to dispose of the stabilization grain at a good advantage and gets it out of the country, it will not appear in the visible supply here and buyers would be forced into the markets, creating aifditional competition which would be a great help in the present situation,” says the farm leader. “It appears that the grain trade wishes to discredit the Federal Farm Board and to destroy the effect of cooperative marketing, if possible.” Settle is general manager of the Central States Crain association located in Indianapolis, and secretary of the Farmers National Grain corporation, Chicago, regional and national cooperatives respectively.

In Kellogg public library hangs a painting sent Williams by the Prince after his return to France. Historians and artists agree that it is unmistakably the portrait of
a Bourbon.

SETTLE FAVORS BOARD PLANS
Thinks Method of Handling Wheat Is Best Yet Proposed,
W. H. Settle, president, Indiana Farm Bureau, believes that the Federal Farm Board plan of handling stabilization wheat amounting to more than 200,000,000 bushels, is the best method which nas been proposed, according to a statement made in Indianapolis this week. The farm board proposes to sel; not to exceed 5,000,000 bushels per month of the 1930 grain held by the Stabilization Corporation, Chicago, if conditions warrant, and then go on the buying markets to replace it, if necessary, to stabilize prices. The grain trade has been de-
