Besides statewide prohibition ref

substantially the same information as
would be given by referendums, the
wet and dry issue will figure in mum

There will be wet and dry candida

STATION WORKERS TO BROAD
CAST THROUGH KDKA

Members of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station staff and others of
the faculty of the College of Agri-
culture at Morgantown are soon to
begin a series of lecturers by radio
through the National Stockman and
Farmer studio of KDKA. This was
definitely decided at meeting OF
the experiment station staff a few
days ago. An invitation had been ex-
tended to the college, station, and ex-
tension workers by E. S. Bayard, edi-
or of the Stockman and Farmer, some
weeks ago to appear on the agricul-
al programs of KDKA at regular in
tervals, but it had been held under
advisement.
The matter of accepting Mr.. Bay
ards invitation was discussed at
some length by the members of the
staff in their meeting, and it was
agreed to accept it and work out a
schedule covering from six months
assigned turns of definite times at
which to appear on the program.
A committee was appointed with
Director Henry G, Knight as chair
man towork up the schedule.
The only restrictions placed on the
lectures are that they are not to ex-
coed ten minutes in length, must be
,yY;ftor ont IN full and c11bn1 III od tp
the Stockman and Farmer studio foE
approval before they are given, and
must be delivered by the author in
person.
1t has not been definitely decided
just when the series of lectures will
begin, but it will probably be some
time in March or about the first OF
April.

JAMES CLERK MAXWELL

The beginnings of radio may be
traced back to the scientific work
of James Clerk Maxwell, the cell
ebrated British physicist. Maxwell
was born at Edinburgh, Scotland,
and conducted his brilliant re-
searches at a comparatively young
age, dying at Cambridge, England,
when but forty-eight years old.
He believed that light was due
to waves in an invisible medium
which scientists call the "ether."
He believed further that light was
some kind of an electromagnetic
phenomenon. 1t was these ideas
of Maxwell's that lead Hertz later
to the discoveries that made radio
possible.
If Maxwell were right in his
assumption that light was both
wave motion and electromagnetic
in nature, then scientists would
expect any vibrating electric cur
rent to send out waves of some
kind, just as vibrating violin
string sends out sound waves.
Maxwells work was first published
in 1873, but it remained for
Hertz to establish experimental
proof of his theories some fifteen
years later.
Maxwell is honored among
physicists as the mathematical
wizard Of his times. His theoret-
ical work is the basis upon which
much Of modern physical science
rests. Especially is this true in
the realm of electrical theory,
where his work is constantly re-
ferred to as the great authority
which has inspired modern ideas of
electricity. Radio scientists have
Maxwell to thank for first having
opened the door to the develop
ments that have led-to the modern
science and art Of radio.

REV. ]. F. COST DIES

1t is with sorrow that we chron-
icle the death of Rev. J. F. Cost, a
former pastor of the local Baptist
church. He was useful minister
and had served number of churches
in the state. About a year ago, he
married Miss Isabelle Vannoy, who
made her home at Philippi for some
time. She survives him.
Rev. Cost was well known in this
and surrounding territory and had a
host of friends who will be very sorry
to learn of his death.
