Heavy Snowfall.

On the 9Th and 7th there was a gen.

several counties in the western half
and averaged nearly inches over the
entire state, though there were a few
counties where it was hardly measur-
able. 1t melted very rapidly but the
water from it all soaked into the

MUCH APRIL SNOW
Month Was Cool and Cloudy
Over All of Kansas.
Plenty of Moisture in State,
Says Weather Bureau.

April, 1916. came within one of be-
ing a record breaker for cool, cloudy
weather and heavy spring SHOWS in
Kansas, according to the reports of
125 stations of the weather bureau,
which cover conditions over the entire
state. There was an abundance of
moisture in almost every county. The
average amount for the state was the
heaviest that has occurred in any
month since last September, and in
the western third there was more pre-
cipitation than fell during the five
previous months combined.
1t was a fine month for wheat and
alfalfa, but a very backward one for
spring work and corn, oats and truck
crops. All fruit, except peaches. came
through the month in good shape.
Little Damage by Frosts.
The average temperature was only
3 degrees higher than that of March,
preceding, and degrees lower than
that of April of last year. There were
no unusual extremes of temperature,
but there were very few days when it
ranged above normal. Freezing wealth
er and killing frosts extended to all
parts of the state on the 9Th and pre-
vailed again in the western half on
the 9th, but the damage done was
remarkably small, the only effect no.
ticeable being to give alfalfa a set

The average precipitation over the
eastern third of the state was 3O7
inches; the middle third, 2.49 inches:
the western third. 2.04 inches, and for
the entire state, 2.59 inches. which is
OILS inches above normal. There were
more days on which measurable pre-
cipitation fell than in any other April
on record in Kansas. The heaviest
monthly amount reported was 4.63
inches at Fall River and the least.

CLARENCE WHITEHILL

Clarence Whitehill. the sixth artist
of the Radcliffe concert series, gave
song recital Monday night at the
Grand opera house. The audience
that heard MIN was not, for the most
part. as responsive as one could eX
pect, for this man Whitehill should be
a person Of considerable interest to
western people He is himself mid
westerner, having hailed originally
from some small Iowa town. They
say he has been a baseball player
Well he looks it. He is a man of
powerful frame, straight. athletic, well
set up. He is very agreeable to look
at, even if he does almost seem to be
outgrowing his dress Goa he pro-
nounces his English like a westerner
and in presence. in his unconcealed
forcefulness, and his style of personal
architecture, he ought 20 make a
strong appeal to n Kansas audience.
Mr. WhitehilFs style of singing COM
ports well with his personality. There
is an epic largeness of utterance about
his music, and most OF his numbers
We're chosen TO fit thar style which IS
obviously his bast. Yet. the selections
of that class were not the ones which
got him his encores last night. He de-

The program opened with the pro-

group of French numbers followed,
the first of which was Gouncd

sort of opportunity for expression
through the smeothness and ampli

has TO trace Of the tenor quality

voices.
Whitehill. though not very young
man, is new tc Topeka, audiC noes. He
has done some singing in important
roles in New York and also in Ger
many and England. When he comes
TO Topeka next time, 1here will be q
bigger audience than the one that re-

music machines will have taught a
greater number of people to like his
style and better understand his claim

RUSH FOR new ROOMS
Many Applicants for Those Found in

There are plenty of applicants for

C. Holland in the auditorium yester-
day L. W. Rowles. city food and

His department is badly cramped for
want of space and he could use a
couple of the new rooms to an excel
lent advantage.
Commissioner W. L. Porter figures
that it will take about $500 to fix up
the lost rooms" and cut the doors the
architect has in his plans. There
would be at least three and possibly
four good-sized rooms. Any one de-
partment in the city building could
occupy them and have room to spare.
The most expensive part of the work
necessary to make the rooms disable
will be the plumbing There is no
plum bling in that part of the building.
Il don't know where my department
is going to get even $500 to use in fix
ing up the rooms" said Commissioner
Porter. but we certainly need the
space"

Washington. Feb. s.-Warning to
American business men to place less
dependence upon the "proverbial
American guess" and to do construc-
tive thinking, to become less partisan
in dealing with great economic ques-
lions and t. systematically discourage
the prevalent disparagement OF the
efforts Of the men in public life was
voiced by John Fl. Fahey, president
of the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States at the opening of its
fourth annual convention today
Il am convinced SAID President
Fahey. that if we are quite frank
for many years we have been poorly
informed as TO the real facts involved
in great que stions before the country
OF special interest to us The work
men in their organizations and the
farmers i'm theirs have been far bet
ter posted on matters Of particular i'm
portance to them than have the bust
ness men i'm their field. But we nave
now come TO the period in the his
tory of America when less dependence
can be placed on the pro"crbial
American guess We must begin TO
do constructive thinking.
Petty Politics as Handicap.
4 believe also that American bust
ness men would be much more useful
to the country and to themselves If
ship in dealing with the great ecouo-
mic questions which SO vitality affect
their interests. A number of our
most important problems would have
been disposed of in congre IS years
a go but for petty politics.
Another thing we business men
should set out Systematically to dis
courage is the altogether TOO prevalent
and continuous disparage of the
efforts of men in public life
N
not understand business questions
fair share of responsibility rests with
the business men. for until we formed
this oreauizat ton we never employed
any method for advising them that
they could be expected TO accept as
representing the business view. l am
satisfied that congress is not only
ready but glad to be fair to business
and to cooperate with us in every way
possible in the advancement of COM
mon welfare. Business will never get
fair consideration of its just claims in
congress by employing roundabout
methods

Bee DUELS AID BLOOMS
Movie Film Shows How Bumblers
Fight for Honey

ST. Louis. Mo. Feb. S.-Photo-
graphic demonstration of the theory
advanced by certain scientists that the
bucket orchid-an extremely rare
plants fortified by the battle of
bumblebees which seek food from the
flower, has been made by Dwight
Davis. former park commissioner of
St. Louis.
Mr.. Davis had moving pictures Of
bumblebees at work on the bucket
orchid taken at the Missouri Botanical
Garden (Shaws Garden) here. This
is what the moving pictures show:
Large bumblebees gather on the
edge of the cup of the orchid and
struggle with one another for d FOOT
hold. Some of the bumblebees tumble
into the cup. which is half filled with
nectar This nectar sticks to the
wings of the bees and prevents them
from flying out.
Has to Crawl Out.
The only way for the bumblee to get
out of the nectar is to crawl through a
tube-like passage leading to the lower
end Of the flower. The walls of this
passage are covered with pollen and
some of it clings to the sticky wings
and backs of the bees. AS they force
their way out of the opening, some of
the pollen which has attached to them
is inserted into the stigma of the plant,
and thus the flower is fertilized
When the bees finally get out of
the flower, they fly back to the edge
of the cup and again battle for a
foothold from which they can eat the
pictures that illustrate this method of
plant reproduction will be shown at
society entertainments in st. Louis,
and later to the public school children.
