jure the fair name of Kansas hard
wheat goods which, because of their su-
perior quality, are growing rapidly in
favor among users of hard wheat flour
in all the markets Of the world, there
fore, be it
Resolved, BY the Kansas State Mil
lers' association in session at Topeka on
October Is, 1900. That the action of the
northwestern millers in using our KAN
sas hard wheat in the production of
-four and selling the product as genu-
inc hard spring wheat goods, thereby
trying to discredit the splendid fiours
made by Kansas mills from the finest
hard wheat the world produces, is de-
ceptive and unbusinesslike; and merits
the severest condemnation of the milling
fraternity of Kansas as well as the pur-
chasers of hard wheat flour the world
over
Resolved. That the secretary of this
association be and he is hereby instruct
ed to send copy of these resolutions to
the secretary Of each board of trade
produce exchange or chamber of com
merce in the United States where hard
wheat -four is sold, and to each like or
ganization in Europe where the true
merits of the splendid Kansas hard
wheat hours are becoming known and
appreciated.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the Kansas Semi Centennial to be held
in 1904 and pledge the aid and influence
of the Kansas State AGillers' association
to its promotion and success.
Resolved, By the members of the
Kansas
sembled, That their thanks are due and
are hereby heartily given to the Topeka
Capital for its enterprising and mag
unanimous efforts to put Kansas wheat
products where they rightly belong-at
the head of the list in the markets of the
world.
Following the passing of the resolu-
ton the meeting was resolved into a
meeting for encouragement to the
finances of the Daily Capital Publishing
company.
The fact that the Sunday Capital Of
Sunday, October Is. was to be made a
special wheat edition and that advertise
ments from the millers were wanted was
brought out.
Mr.. Popenoe. on behalf of the Capital.
said that the paper felt deeply indebted
to the association for the kindly man
ner in which it had treated them. Con-
tInuing he said when asked concerning
the prices for advertising in the special
EDITION, that pages would be sold at the
rate of SIS per page and papers would
be mailed for SIS per 100.
A suggestion was made that the assO-
citation take one page and make it the
directory of the association, giving each
mill included in the association, it's loca-
ton, officers and capacity.
A. Fassler said that the milIers were
indebted to the Capital, and that they
should not hang back but should come
forward with a good stiff price for their
advertisements, and that the publishing
of the directory would not sufficiently
reimburse the Capital company.
The suggestion was then made that
each miller who felt so disposed could
outside of this take as much space as
he desired. This plan was not adopted
Some one asked the rate for small
spaces, and Mr. Popenoe, Mr.. Holman
and Mr. Babize left the room and a CON
sultation was held, which resulted in
Mr. Popenoe reporting to the meeting
would be sold for $40. Four of these ads
may be placed in two columns of the
Capital and twelve in six columns. The
seventh column may be divided into ads
of different shape than the rest on the
page but containing the same space as
one of the others, which gives a total
of fourteen advertisements to the page.
The total sum for the page being $40.
Every one present was urged to sign
a contract agreeing to take the $40 space,
which almost every one did within five
minutes. The secretary was instructed
to correspond with the other millers of
in for equal spaces.
