STORM BLIGHTS WHEAT BELT IN > WEST; KILLS 5 Sand and Dust Gales Work Havoc in Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas. DHMWrR, Colo., March 19.—Five are known dead today and nearly a score more o <r less seriously Injured as a result of the worst wind and sand storm experienced in Wyoming and Colorado in twenty years. Property damage will reach a high figure and the uprooting of growing crop in the wheat fields of eastern Colorado may result in a loss that will run into the millions. KANSAS CROPS HARD HIT KANSAS CITY, March 19.—Reports from scattered sections of western Kansas today brought the prediction that ►the greatest crop failure In the wheat belt in ten years may result from the great dust storm which for twenty-four hours has raged unabated through four states. Business has teen practically suspended throughout western Kansas for the last twenty-four hours. The dust, driven by a high wind, turned daylight into darkness and impeded traffic everywhere. Camp Funstoa and Ft. Riley were threatened by fire during the night, but it was controlled by the camp fire department. Reports from all over the wheat area said that not only had the soil been blown from tbe young roots, but in many places the roots were torn up and carried off by the wind. REALTORS BACK ‘AD’ CAMPAIGN Harry G. Templeton, executive secretary of the Indianapolis real estate board, announced today that the board v.-as assured of the proposed co-operative advertising campaign. The first discussion of the campaign was at the weekly Inncheon of the board this week at which Merle Sldener, a local advertising expert, told the board members of the many advantages to be derived from a campaign of this kind. After the meeting a short discussion among the members was followed by the realtors pledging their proportionate share toward the fund. This advertising campaign will run for one year in the local newspapers, boosting the real estate board and the members. This advertising will also be used to acquaint the public with the code of ethics of the real estate board and to home ownership. The method used *>y the board in appraising property will be explained to the public. More than fifty of the members had signed the roster up to this morning. An office to office canvass is being made by members of the advertising and publicity committees for the purpose of securing the signatures of the rest of the board. It is thought that by tomorrow or Monday at the latest all of the members of the board will have signed. C. B Durham, chairman of these committees, said in explaining the purpose of this campaign: "This proposition is an investment instead of a subscription. From the manner in .which other co-oper-ative advertising campaigns have paid, there is no question that such a campaign here by the realtors would pay big dividends on such an investment."
