GET FORECASTS BY WIRELESS
kansas Agricultural College Makes
Arrangement to Furnish Farmers
With Weather Probabilities

The Kansas Agricultural college
has announced that 1t will furnish the
weather forecasts to every Kansas
farmer by wireless telegraph. TIE
farmer will be required to install an
amateur wireless set with which to
receive the forecast. These sets cost
about $35 each and can be operated
by any person. They cannot be used
for sending messages for any con-
siderable distances but they will re
eeive the powerful messages OF the
big plants. The forecasts are TO be
sent out at 9:55 each morning under
: standard code and on the wave
length of S75 meters. short enough for
any amateur set 10 take. This wave
length is also long enough and the
college plant is powerful enough so
that the message will reach every
point in the state. The forecast Will
be sent at the rate Of IS words a
minute and then repeated at 10 words
a minute. The service is 10 be given
free to every farmer. high school.
or to any other person or institu-
ton having a wireless set. The high
schools in the small communities are
to distribute the forecast TO the banks
and stores and to the telephone COM
panies. The knowledge Of the prob
able weather Is Of considerable I'M
portance TO farmers during the har-
vest and haying season, and to stock
men during the winter. for they can
make preparations for feeding and
sheltering stock upon knowing of an
approaching storm.

SAYS JOHN I. HAS NO CHANGE
 FOR CABINET

Hartford, Nov. 5-The announce ment in press reports from Marion, O., that John T. King of Bridgeport, may be appointed postmaster-generaI in the cabinet of President-elect Hard ing is not accepted as even indicating a probability of it, by those who are close to the Republican state organiza- ton of Connecticut, says the Hartford Times. If Connecticut is to be given a place in the cabinet there is every reason to think, say the state organi- zation men, that the @ppointee will be a man who is endorsed by the organi- zation and that MT. King being personna non grata with the faction in control of the state central committee, is not likely to secure the approval of the organization to his appointment. The feud between the two factions of the Republican party in this state, one, the dominant one, which has MT. Roraback for its leader and the other has been a truce but it ended when the polls closed Tuesday.
 Both factions claim priority of com sideration for the same reason, name ly an early recognition of the political
 wisdom of nominating MT. Harding at the Republican national convention. The Roraback faction says that it was the timely decision of MT. Roraback that brought about the nomination of MT. Harding and that the vote of MT. King on the decisive ballot was against Harding. The Connecticut delegation stood 1S to 1 and that the solitary negative represented the at- titude of MT. King.

VOLSTEAD LIKELY
TO BE DEFEATED
Author of Enforcement Measure is
Strongly Opposed in Minnesota.
By GEORGE n. MANNING.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1e.-Repre-
sentative Andrew j. Volstead the
man who as chairman of the house ju-
dietary committee, wrote the prohibit
ton enforcement bill, appears to be
certain Of being defeated by a Demo-
crat in November, it was learned to.
day at the Democratic national con-
gressional committee headquarters
Volstead was defeated in the Re-
publican primary for the nomination
for congress from the seventh Mime
sofa district by the Rev. Kvale. The
decision of the voters was set aside a
few days later, however, by the courts
declaring that the minister's charges
made during tn campaign that Mr..
Volstead was an atheist disqualified
him as violation of the corrupt prac-
tees law. Kvale took the decision TO
the supreme court of the state.
Meanwhile the election officials in
some manner or another declared Miss
Volstead, daughter of the congressman,
to be the regular nominee.
Word has reached the Democratic
national congressional committee that
VoIstead and Kvale have both de-
clared they will run as an independent
II the other is declared by the courts
to be the Republican candidate.
This, it is said, will make the race
easy for James Mitchell OF Brooton,
Mimi, who is running on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mitchell, who is a man
of high standing. plans to go into the
campaign in favor of a material modi-
fication Of the Volstead prohibition en-
forcement law. With a wet platform
and Kvale and Volstead, and possibly
Miss Volstead, cutting each others
threats for the Republican vote. the
election of Mitchell on the Democratic
ticket appears almost certain.
