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

The Kansas Agricultural college
has announced that it will furnish the
weather forecasts to every Kansas
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-
ceive the powerful messages OF the
big plants. Tie forecasts are to be
sent out at 9:S5 each morning under
q standard code and on the wave
length of 375 meters. short enough for
any amateur set to 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 1S words
minute and then repeated at 10 words
minute. The service is to be given
free to every farmer. high school,
or to any other person or institu-
tion having 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 Inn
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.

KANSAS At CHICAGO
Morchouse Says Convention Headquar-
tiers Lacking.


To The State Journal:
For four or five times past It has
been my privilege to attend the Re
publican national convention at Chi
cago. Kansas is always represented
at these great events by goodly num-
Der Of her people, but they are al
ways cha grined because the headquar-
tiers are not in keeping with the repu-
tation Of our well known western
commonwealth.
This year. especially. when our
state and several of its leading men
and women at the convention were so
prominent in the public eye, II was
unfortunate that the headquarters at
the Auditorium were so lily kept and
inadequate for the uses of kansa rs,
former Kansans and the many visitors
from other states. The small. un--
decorated room, wedged il between
and eclipsed by the better equipped
welcoming spots of Iowa and other
states was q positive discredit to our
state and not all suitable FOR the visit
ing throngs.
Present and former Kausans want
ed to meet each other; visitors from
all over the union wanted to see the
folks from the state Of the industrial
court and meet our Governor Aiken
and other sponsors Of that much talk
ed OF measure, but there were no IA
ciIities of comfort or room While
the place was central enough, the
average person would never see the
narrow and unattractive entrance IN
less run into the place by a guide
These national conventions are
splendid places for a lot of first class
advertising and the opportunity
should not be lost; and then We
should not let Kansas be obscured
at these places by less important
states.
There should be a large general re-
ception room. well managed and suit
ably decorated. something as good or
better as Iowa always maintains.
Convenient writing. registration and
directory facilities should be main
tanned for all Kansans and visiting
friends.
And now that the women are in
politics and attend these national con-
venuons in such numbers. there
should be well kept separate rest
rooms and facilities for them with
proper attendants-which omission on
the part of Kansas was often noticed
and mentioned
The kansas headquarters should be
large and attractive. well appointed
and managed and somewhat in har-
mony with its standing as a noted
state. If the expense Of maintaining
such IS too much for the officials and
politicians to bear. let them call upon
other patriotic Kansas TO help out
Kansas is so prominent as the great
central state of the nation; is always
attracting so much attention because
of the Importance of its advanced pub
| lie measures and the reputation of its
public men, that it is a serious mistake
for It to worry along with third class
headquarters at these great political
events
