WIRELESS SCHOOL AT AMES
Radio Convention and Short Course
to Be Held at Ames.

A statewide convention of amateur
radio operators and a radio short
course will be held at Iowa State
College, April % and 20. The Cam
pus Radio Club of the college, the
president of which is Arson Marston,
Jr., son of the dean of the engineer
ing division, is sponsoring the con-
vention and the short course will be
in charge of the engineering extern
sion department.
Several wireless equipment manu-
featuring companies will send IN
their latest types of outfits for ex-
hibit. One of the unique things to
be shown will be a Hull recording
relay" machine that records sig
nails too faint to be detected by the
human ear, thus limiting all posi-
bility of error in receiving and
transmitting messages and furnish
ing the station with a positive re-
cord of calls.
A resolution will be proposed dur
ing the convention crystallizing senti-
ment against the sending of mess
ages by amateurs of the state be-
tween and $3.50 p. m. The pur-
pose of this is to permit all sta
tons to receive full benefit of broad

hour. At present it is almost i'm

phone, due to interference by near
by stations.
Plans are being made to take care

New York Meat" Saws Haugen


The need of protecting farm pro-
ducts came to our mind the other
day. Four or five Iowa members were
lunching together on corned beef and
cabbage. The corned beef looked like
chips. We all wondered what was the
matter with it until Mr.. Haugen of
the Fourth district, chairman of the
agricultural committee, said that it
was New York meat" and this New
York meat is imported from the Ar
gentine and sold for less than Ameri-
can meat in the eastern markets. 1t
is worth less, too. We deemed it
worthless in fact, and sent it back.
| could liken it only to a dish of
horse meat that they tried to palm
off on me in Brussels, Belgium, about
ten years ago, when l made tour of
that country.
The cheapening of meats through
imports is quite movement at pres
ent. Some pretend to see what they
call "relief" of the situation by inn
porting reindeer meat from Arctic
ranches. They do not seem to realize
that the best meat in the world, that
is, American meat, has been produced
on the farms and ranches at loss
during the last few years. But they
want it still cheaper. What do they
expect the meat producers to do for
them?
Another food monstrosity that one
runs up against is called filled
milk" which is sold in all the eastern
markets, and it may be sold in the
middle west also. To provide this
article of commerce they take cows
milk, extract the butter fat and sub
stitute cocoanut fat. This is not a
fair exchange and it is robbery.
Children fed on filled milk deterior-
ate, for the elements of growth have
been removed from it. The profit is
good for the cocoanut fat is worth
only 12c a pound while the butter
fat is worth 40c-Cyrenus Cole in

Eighty Nine Drown in Iowa in 1921

Eighty nine persons were drowned
in Iowa during the summer of 1921,
according to the Des Moines Register.
This is an average of one a day
during the months of June, July
and August.
Sixty-four persons were drowned
while bathing.
Fifteen were drowned through
other unclassifed accidents. The
causes of ten drownings were not
given.
Eighty per cent of all Iowa
drownings for last year occurred IN

20 per cent occurred in lakes and

New Job For Our Firemen

Residents of country towns Will
learn with interest that fire loss OF
the United States for the year 1921
exceeded that of any previous year
in the history Of the country, total
ing more than a half billion dollars.
The National Fire Protection Asso-
citation calls attention to the fact that
of the conflagrations responsible for
this disastrous condition fully seventy
five per cent were preventable. 1t
is interesting, too, to know that the
country which must depend on the
services of volunteer firemen has a
smaller fire loss than the cities with
fighters.
There is no local activity deserving
their highly paid and well skilled fire
of greater encouragement than the
activity of the local fire department.
II is amazing to find throughout the
country so many men, without
thought of fee or reward, ready to
endanger their health and their lives
at the call of their neighbors. Surely
there is no nobler, no more unseltlsh
service. The men gain no reward
ave perhaps the thrill that comes to
.very red blooded man when he ans
wers an alarm. Yet we find the vol
hnteer fremen always on the job.
There is, however, room for I'M
Iprovement-not in the way these lads
attack their task of fire eXtinguish-
ing, but in the more constructive
work to be sure, but if the fire chiefs
would appoint shifts Of men, say
two each week, to spend an hour
back of the stores to see that boxes
and other inflammable trash are not
kent there as a menace, if they VIII
nav an occasional visit to the locaI
motion picture theatre to see that the
doors of exit open outward and that
slim bolts are used, many a nome
many a dollar and many a lie VIII
be saved. The boys may not get
credit for the work thus done, put
they will lay up treasurers where
they will not rust and reputatiohs
where the moths of criticism cannon
hurt them.

Ready For New York Farm RJo.


The national farm bloc conceived
ana organized by the American Farm
bureau Federation in Washington
seems to be growing inspiration to
the state where similar blocs are
forming, perhaps unconsciously, but
none the less certainly. Broad
NSioned men have come to see that
the operations of the farm bloc in
washington have had much to do
with the rising tide of returning
prosperity, and so they see the posi-
blllty OF beneficial effect if the states
come to follow the national example.
There is distinct trend toward the
farm bloc idea in the state of New
York where it is thought such a
move might have the effect of off
setting the line of cleavage between
the country district and the great
metropolis. New York City for
years has contended it has been ruled
from Albany by country legislators
who know nothing of the require
ments of city life. The friction has
been so intense that there have
sprung up movements even looking
to the forming of the separate State
of Manhatten. The New Yorker pays
the major proportion of the taxes of
the state and yet he feels he has
little, if any voice, in legislation even
considering the broad city charter
granted by the state. The city man,
however, is not blind to the needs of
agriculture and stands ready to fur
Their the welfare of the farmer. The
farm bloc idea in the Empire state
is likely to bring about mutually
beneficial compromise. When all is
said and done, the spirit of tolerance
operates for the benefit OF
the people.
