The millers say that the meeting
If the Kansas millers at Kansas City
was misunderstood by nearly every
one. Many have the idea that it was
called for the purpose Of forming a
trust. They say this was not the
case. The millers simply desired to
select a selling agent to handle tteir
flour for export. Owing TO disadvan-
tageOus rates, Kansas millers have
been able TO send but little flour
ecross the water. The reason Of this
is that their individual shipments
are small and they cannot obtain as
good rates as the northwestern mil
lerS who have banded together and
sell their -four in 500 600 barrel lots.
While an agent was no. selected by
the association, on account Of a diSa-
greement, a number Of the mills did
60 together and decide upon a man tC
handle their product. The Kansas
mills grind fifty million bushels OF
wheat a year, aud it is well known
that when wheat is exported in the
form Of -four the mills pay from two
to three cents a bushel more for wheat
to grind than is paid by those who
buy it for export as grain, The ex-
port Of -four often amounts to 50 pei
cent. Thus the advantage TO the
farmer is plain. The man who raises
a thousand bushels Of wheat could
well afford TO have -four make a nat.
ural advance in price due to increased
exports. No trust is contemplated,
and none is possible. Wheatls raised
all over the country, and the amount
OF capital necessary to build -four
mill is small. But the situation
being such that the number OF mills
cannot be limited, the only hopes OF
the millers' association is to extend
their foreign trade, thus disposing OF
their surplus, and trusting to the
natural tendency to increase prices
hv an increased demand for their pro-
ducts. In speaking of the matter p

WRIGHT AND vANORSDOL.
Two Prominent Teachers Candidates
For County Superintendent.

The announcement of Mr. s. F.
Wright as candidate for the office of
county superintendent appears in the
column of announcements for this even
ing's Journal
Mr.. Wright is a thoroughly conscien-
tious and capable man, and has been
engaged in school work in Shawnee
county for the past ten years, five of
which he has been principal of Nickel
Plate school and has proved himself to
be a worthy and efficient teacher.
He has been recognized by the va
rious chairmen of the county central
committee as an active Republican.
He is an earnest and intelligent speaker
and will add strength to the ticket if
nominated.
Mr.. Win Vanorsdol who has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
county superintendent of public in
structiOn, is a home product, nearly all
of his life having been spent in Shaw
zee county. He attended the common
schools of this county after which he
entered Campbell University, of Hol-
ton, Kas., and graduated from the
teachers course in that institution. He
has taught school in Shawnee county
for Is years, all of which has been con-
fined to only three different schools,
situated in the mediate vicinity of his
home in Silver Lake township, and for
the past eight years he has been prin-
cipal of the Silver Lake city schools.
Mr.. Vanorsdol stands high in his pro-
1eSSlOn, hoIdlnS the respect and conf
dence of his fellow teachers, and having
spent his life in such close touch with
the schools of his county, he is thereby
well qualified for the position of super
intendent.
Mr.. Vanorsdol is we'll known through
out the county, having always inter-
ested himself in the upbuilding of his
home county along all lines. He was a
candidate in 1895 against the present
incumbent, Jno. W. Stout, and beaten
