AMERICANS WILL BE THERE
OPPORTUNITIES Offered In Abyssin!a Ars
by No Means Likely to Be Long
Overlooked.

After his visit to the United States
one OF the Abyssinian visitors admit
ted that he knew now why there were
no Americans in Abyssinia. As he had
seen him at home, the American. so
the stranger from Abyssinia decided,
is not given to slow and tedious travel
ing. He wants to get about quickly.
and Abyssinia, with nothing faster
than a pack mule, offers no induce
ments Of rapid transportation. THAT.
It seems" said the Abyssinian, has
kept the American man out Of our
country. 1t is too bad. We need
bridges like yours, We need streets like
yours, and we need men like yours to
direct the building of them" CONNER
cially and industrially, however, the
truth probably Is that Abyssinia has
not been discovered" and when that
happens the American man will come
and build his own rapid transporta-
ton. The mere statement that the
capital, Adds Abbeba, is a city or
some 10000 inhabitants and no rail-
way connection with the outside world
is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Science

A WEEK OF SUNSHINE
Last Few Days Hardens Ground
and Prevents Planting in Kansas.
BY S. D. FLORA.
United States Meteorologist.

South wind and plenty of sunshine
made this one of the warmest October
weeks on record, with no frost report
ed There were only a few rains of
any consequence. and they were wide
ly scattered. The south-centraI and
southeastern counties are. with a few
exceptions. still very dry and the
ground there is so hard it is impos-
sible to secure a satisfactory seed bed.
In the northeastern northcenrral and
western counties. however. the soil is
in fine condition and preparation of
the ground and seeding is being
pushed, but is making very slow prog
reSs in the dry regions.
In the eastern two-thirds of the
state considera bly, less wheat has been
sown to date than is usually in the
ground by this time of the year.
great many counties. even in the sec
tiens having rain. reporting so per
cent less In the extreme southeast
ern counties wheat sowing is just
started and is making slow progress.
In the western third. which has had
good rains for the past four weeks,
sowing is well up to the average for
the time of year and an unusual
amount of volunteer wheat has come
up, which is furnishing good pasture.
Stands of wheat are generally report
ed good to excellent in the northern
and western counties and fair to very
poor in the south-central and south
eastern portions
Grain sorghuns have nearly all ma
tured. even in the extreme western
counties without any damage by frost
or freeze and silo-f filling is practically
completed in all parts of the state.
Three and in favored sections four
cuttings of alfalfa have been secured
in the eastern half OF the state this
year and two to three cuttings in the
Western half. but only in a compare
lively few places is there another cut
ting in sight now.
Picking apples is in full swing in all
narts where this crop is produced.

Official Pictures VIII Be Shown
in Memorial Hail.
To Be Brought Here for His
torical Society Meeting.
BIG PROGRAM is PLANNED
C0nneliey Report VIII Show
Growth of Organization.
General Metcalf and Colonel
Hamilton on Program.

The Kansas State Historical society
is making preparations for it's annual
meeting which will occur on october
2I. The program for the meeting was
mailed to members of the society to-
day by Secretary William E. ConneI-
ley. Since the war began it has been
difficult to secure interesting public
meetings for the reason that the war
service engrossed every activity. This
year the society expects to have the
best annual meeting it has held for
several years. Gen Wilder S Metcalf
is president of the society. His an
nual address will be delivered in Me-
mortal hall at p. m. There will also
be an address by Col. Clad Hamilton.
Show War Films.
BY the aid of Gov Henry J. Allen
the society secured the official NOV
ing picture films of the great world
war. Arrangements have been made
with the management of the Orpheum
theater to have these moving pictures
shown in Memorial hall at the evening
session of the annual meeting. Ad--
mission to this will be free but will
have to he by ticket as the hall seats
only 700 persons and there will prob
ably be many more people desiring
admission. The members of the Sc
ciety will first be served with tickets,
after which state officials and mem
bers of the legislature will be accom-
modated.
In addition to the other features of
the annual meeting there will be
display of the collection of French
war posters given the society by Gov
ernor Allen.
The annual report of Secretary Con-
nelley will show the condition of the
society to be one of splendid growth
and progress. The last year has been
one of the best the society has ever
had. and it has always been one of the
most prosperous institutions of the
state.

Tor the first time in more than a week

several persons, but neither Doctor

been able to locate any of them"

MORE ROOM NEEDED
X. & l.. OF =. May Take Over More
Office Space.

The steadily increasing necessity of
more office room may compeli the
knights and Ladies of Security to con-
vert the entire third floor of the Sc
curity building at Seventh and Kansas
avenues into office rooms. Half of
this floor is already being used for
such purposes and the other half is
serving the purpose of a hall.
J. NJ. Kirkpatrick. the national pres
ident, said today that nothing definite
had been decided regarding the move.
altho he admitted that it is being con-
templated.
At one time the entire third floor
was used as two large halls. A couple
OF years ago one of the halls was TAX
en- over by the office department A
still greater expansion of the office di-
vision will probably result in a new
hall The second floor is entirely de-
voted to offices.

Finding the house wrapped in flames tie three fled and in their hurry separated, Miss Raueh leaving the burning building through a different door than her sis ter and father. Her absence was fnt- mediately discovered and together they re-entered the building. Present ly the roof fell in. trapping Mrs. Ar hold. Her body burned beyond rec ognition was found later. MT Rauch received fatal burns in attempting to rescue Mrs. Arnold. Miss Emma Rauch was unhurt by fire, but. sufferer seriously from nervous shock.
