J13-4tw. Murdock, Neb. COAST LASHED BY WAVES Brest, France Extremely heavy seas washed the coast of Brittany Thursday night from Brest to Lor ient, the visitation coming in the wake of earthquakes which lasted from three to sixteen seconds. The phenemona shook the morale of the population, inured tho the people are to freaks of the ocean. What dls turged them was that there was no wind to account for the waves. Many fishermen, recently return ed from the Newfoundland banks where there were seismic disturb ances a few months ago, averred that the Atlantic has "gone crazy." No loss of life was reported from airy place along the coast. Several house collapsed when the earth quivered under the seismic shocks. Compara tive little damage was done by the waves. Fears Wheat Oversupply in the Next Crop McKelvie Warns Fanners $1.25 Price Is Temporary; Glad His Term Is to End Kansas City. Jan. 10. The Kansas City Star Fridav quotes Samuel R. McKelvie, wheat member of the fed eral farm board, as warning farmers who contemplate increasing their wheat acreage that prices set recent ly by the farm board for wheat are only for the present crop. In view of prospects for a big crop next summer, McKelvie was quoted as saying he was glad he had accepted the place on the farm board only until Jur.e. In warning that the present price would hold rv.rd merrlv fcr the pres ent crop. McKelvie said: "What price shall bp established cn the coming crop will be decided when th-"1 crop comes on. "I gave up a' trip to Africa with Martin Johnson when I accepted this post. I've met plenty of lions right here on the jcb. When I look at the prospects for a Kansas wheat crop, never better, with a 4 per cent increase in the acreage in Kansas and a 2 per cent increase fcr the whole winter wheat belt. I'm glad I told President Hoover I would serve on the farm board oniy until June. "With your prospects out here and a big ncreasre in the northwest, with the possibility cf a 900,000.000-bus-hel crop next summer, it won't be a very good thing to be a member of the farm board then." The former Nebraska governor said he had been informed that farm ers cf the northwest, cheered by the $1.23 price established by the board at Minneapolis, planned to put in even more spring wheat this coming season. Bee-News. STATION TO EE WATCHED Washington Whether station KWKH at Shrevepcrt. La., has broad cast profanity, as charged by Senator Dill, is to be investigated by the radio commission.

It is the third time in as many days that the contraver.-y over KWKH. which is operated by W. K. Henderson, had been the subject of senatorial comment.

Friday he called upon Robinson to tell why the com mission had not .assumed the initia tive. Robinson explained that Hender son had been "on tho carpet" with in the last year but that he had proved an audience of 160,001 want ed to continue to listen to him. He also said two sfnators and several representatives had testified that no rrofanity had been used.
