KANSAS G0N6RESSMEN ESPECIALLY ACTIVE

IROMANTIC Olg^ON^WEL^A^

Legislation Beneficial to Agriculture Being Pushed by Each - of the Ten Members. Knnsas state farm bureau has been keeping in touch with Kansas congressmen and letting them know the wishes of Kansas farmers with regard to agricultural legislation. A close check shows that each of the ten Kansas members has been on hand to push any legislation that was beneficial to agriculture. Senator Arthur Capper, who is now leader of the farm bloc in the senate, has been especially active in behalf of agriculture. J. G. Strong, representative from the Fifth district, which includes Manhattan, the headquarters of the state bureau, has ’also been active in the interests of the farmer. It was he who put in the resolution asking for the joint comrhission of agricultural inquiry. Later he fought for a farmer on the federal reserve board and has finally seen, a law passed giving agriculture a representative on the board. J. N. (Poly) Tincher, representative from the Seventh district, has also been active in the interest of the farmer. He was co-author with Sen-

Since portions of that law have been declared unconstitutional he and, Senator Capper are introducing another measure intended to perform the functions covered in the first bill. They have taken pains to see that this measure will stand the test of constitutionality. \ Hays B. White of the Sixth Kansas district is the real dirt farmer of the Kansas delegation. He has never had any business except farming and can always be relied upon to stand with agriculture. Homer Hoch of the Fourth district is another Kansan who has been especially active in the Interest of agriculture. ^ l Senator Charles Curtis, Representative D. R. Anthony of the First district, and P. P. Campbell of the Third district are the only Kansas represensatives which have been in any way evasive in telling where they stood on agricultural legislation. Ralph Snyder, president of the Kansas bureau, is a member of the executive committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation and member of that body’s legislative committee. He keeps in close touch at all times with what is going on in congress.

JOIN IN MARKETING APPLES Ohio Co-operative Fruit Associations Made Arrangements for Handling 1922 Crop. About six local co-operative fruit marketing associations, have joined together to market apples, according to an announcement made by C. W. Waid, of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. The North American Fruit exchange has been chosen as the sales agency for handling this year’s crop. At a recent meeting of the trustees of the Ohio Fruit Growers’ Co-opera-tive association “Buckeye” was chosen as the brand name under which the fruit from these eo-operatlves will be sold. The fruit will be graded, and sold on the basis of standard quality and pack. Provisions are already being made to put Ohio apples before the buying public in as good shape as certain other sections which have come into prominence by putting out good fruit with a guarantee of quality. A special sales office will be opened at Huntingtin. W. Ya., as soon as this year’s crop of Ohio apples starts coming on the market.

Old Virginia, land. of romance, famous in song and story, is this year welcoming thousands of vistors within her hospitable borders. A special excursion of 2,8^j persons left New York City in the latter part of April, following the picturesque valley of the Shenando.'.h over the Norfolk & Western railway to the famous Luray Cpve’ns.

mountains of Virginia. .

The iourney is a marvelous introduction to the New South. For hundreds of miles every hilltop and valley is crowded with thrilling memories of the civil war, from Jackson in ’61 to Sheridan’s victory in ’05. After crossing the Potomac, the railway follows the rivers along the Western base of the majestic

tennis courts. Here came the aristocracy of the South in the antebellum days. And here today they

still come.

Near Roanoke is Blue Ridge Springs, a favorite resort foi Virginia people, wnose mineral waters are known throughout the country. Christiansburg is another such. Near the crest of the Alleghany mountains, SV 2 miles distant, is Yellow Sulphur Springs, famed for its h t and cold mineral baths.

In the Automobile World

Adaptation of Wireless

People who drive their own cars might be tempted to take touring trips of no mean distance were it not ioi the fact that there is always one bogie tha.t looms up, when such a project is contemplated—and that bogie is the same that often worries men drivers, too—the tear of making a false turn, or running past a sign post, so that nightfall will find the traveler lost on a strange

road in an unknown region.

Of course, road markings, sign posts> road maps, and guide books, have been, and still are,, like chat is and lighthouses are to the sea-faring manner, but eternal vigilance is necessary if one is to make certain of leaching the chosen destination. Then there is the human equation, and, take it all in all, even the experienced automobue driver goes astray. Once off the beaten course, any combination of misadventures is possible, with scarcely a chance of timely assistance. Punctures and blow-outs, the exhaustion of the gasoline supply, ignition and engine troubles—these are misfortunes not to be lightly borne on a lonely road with night coming on. . | However, we may soon expect all this to be a thing of the past, for Invention, fertile-minded and neverresting, has found a way, like a chivalrous knight of old, to save all fair ladies in distress. Indeed, Invention is playing the role of a veritable St. George for he is going to slap the dragon, once and for all, the terrible dragon, Going Astray, that lurks along every motor route. You know what a wonderfpl fellow Invention is, with his self-starters, miraculously operating jacks, wire wheels and detachable rims. You know that he nas given woman her full liberty, her rights, even more than has the ballot, for he has enabled her^ to move freely where she will, because of that perfected wonderful mechanism—the modern motor car, which, if intelligently treated, requires very little attention. Well, Invention has allied, himseif with the good-roads movement, and he has thought out a method of guiding you automatically over every improved highway in the length and breadth of our broad land. Invention proposes to place another little, instrument

i the country, each highway being indicated by a certain ; number of dots and dashes.—Motor A , ■ - An automobile speedway is to be constructed in Kansas City, Mo. . „ , , Dust caps for the tires valves of automobiles are now made of rubber. ... , Automobiles are operated by a visiting nurses association in Massachusetts.

7,000 are in the city of Tokio. .

Motor buses are operated by thirty-six electric traption companies in various sections of the United btates. Pennsylvania realized $1,057,767 from gasolene taxes during the first six months of enforcement of the law. Motor cars and motor trucks are used by many colleges for extension courses and for general purposes. The total possible production capacity of all automobile factories in the United States is 2,750,000 per year. Sixty-three different methods of construction are applied on the experimental road tests by the Illinois Divi-

sion of Highways. , .

Motion pictures of highways and the building of highways in the United States are being used in a good roads campaign in the Argentine. ^ £ . inoo During the year from July 1, 1921, to July 1, 192~, more than 200,000 persons in New York City will have

In order to “pick up” these electrical emissions, a mechanism, known in electrical parlance as a “coil,” is placed on the hood of the motor car. . Then in order to increase the strength of the current so picked up, there is also an amplifer. This connects with a relay, and lastly with a little box-like instrument on the dash of the car, and this last is the directometer itself. On the face of this directometer—which is covered with glass—there are a series of perforations—on one side are dots, on the other dashes. Suppose our car is on the Lincoln Highway, which we have chosen to represent with three dots and seven dashes. So long as we are on this route, this combination of dots and dashes will show in brilliant red on the instrument. But if we by chance take the wrong turn, thus coming to another road, an alarm is at once sounded. A bell rings and does not cease until we have corrected our error. In the event .that a detoiir is to be made, a warning is also given by one of two arrows that point to the right and left. The course of the detour is indicated by the proper arrow lighting up. This is brought about by placing at detour points a special transmitter, which acts upon a mechanism behind the arrow. Nothing is left to chance, and therefore nothing can go wrong.
