FIX UP GRADES OF WHEAT.
Meeting for This Purpose VIII Be
Held July s.

George ". Click. chairman of the
state grain grading commission, has
called a meeting of the commission for
July at Topeka. J. T. White of Ada
Ottawa county, and J. NJ. Coyey of
Harper county are the other members
of the board. This board meets after
every wheat harvest to fix up the
grades to be used by the state grain in
spector in judging the quality of
wheat.
In speaking of the fight of the kan
sas City elevators on the state grain
inspection law, Ex-Governor Click
says:
IF the courts hold that this law is
invalid in the case now on trial in
Wyandotte county it will mean that
the farmers are at the mercy of the
board of trade. The mixing of rye
with wheat and the mixing of inferior
grades with good grades would go on
with nobody to restrain the robbers
AS it is the board of trade is not re-
strained as it should be- 1t has been
the custom for the dealers to buy
Kansas No. 2 wheat and after mixing
it with inferior qualities until the
grade is about No. send it to eastern
customers as Kansas No. 2 wheat. This
gives the state a bad reputation and
we ought to have law prohibiting it

HIT BY An AUTO.
c. a. NIagaw's Buggy Smashed by I'm
known Driver.

c. A. Magaw had a narrow escape
from being rautocuted' last night.
While driving toward the city on the
taH park road, between the creek and
railroad. he was. overtaken, and partial
ly overrun, by an automobile containing
three passengers. all men. They had no
headlights on their machine, and COM
ing along at rapid clip, tried to go
around him. The driver of the machine
was very stingy with his steering wheel,
and did not allow sufficient margin.
The wheel of the Judges buggy took
up part of the space the autoist had de-
cided to utilize. so he passed merrily
onward, with a portion of the Magaw
vehicle hanging to his starboard bow.
Magaw desired to chase the machine on
foot and tell the driver what he thought
of him. but as he had a lady with him,
and the horse seemed to be rather upset
by the incident, he had to stand by the
haWser The autoists stopped d short
distance ahead, carefully examined their
machine to see if it had been injured in
it's contact with the buggy, and then
went on their way without coming back
to apologize or see how many people
they had killed. AS there were no lights
on the machine or in the vicinity, Ma
CAV had no means Of discovering SIS
number. He describes it as a short
sawed-off, ugly auto, which made d
noise like a switch engine. BY thus in
su1ting the machine, he hopes to induce
the proud and greatly offended owner
to come around and declare himself.

OPTIMISTIC KANsAN.
Says the Prolonged Drouth Has Ben
Gifted the Peach Crop.

Marysville. Kas.. June 28zP. ].
Eychaner, of Oketo. a peach raiser in
Marshall county. said here that the
prolonged douth had benefited rather
than hurt the peach crop.
At the beginning of the season the
trees were overloaded with fruit and
the drouth caused a considerable
amount of it to dry up and fall to the
ground This left the trees in better
condition to nurture the fruit that was
left on the trees. The extremely wet
seasons of the last five years had so
thoroughly soaked the ground that
there was plenty of moisture a little
way down and the roots of the trees
penetrated the ground to a sufficient
depth to reach this moisture.
