DEMAND FOR TWINE.
Kansas Penitentiary Cannot Supply

pressing. The prison officials state tha I
they have information that the twine
trust was getting ready to take ad-
vantage of the big wheat crop and con

There is no raise in the price of pen

for large orders and 10 cents for small

of two million pounds This has been
