Following is the first of a series of
letters which will appear in this col
umn from the third and fourth grade
pupils of the Lincoln school. The let
ters will describe the writer's recent
visit to the Kaw mills:
1872 Monroe street. Topeka, Kan,
November 8, 1910.
Dear State Journal Editor:
We went to the Kaw mill Tuesday.
They clean the wheat at first. Then
they wet the wheat in tanks. They
hull from the kernel. Next they grind
the wheat by machinery. For white
-four they separate the shorts from the
white of the kernel If they want
whole wheat flour they leave them IN.
They sift the -four in large sifters.
Then they sack it and send it all over
the world. The flour is called Perfec-
ton flour.
The Kaw mill has the largest grain
elevator in Kansas and has the clean
est mill in the west.
Above all the people at the mill gave
each one of US a postcard of the mill
and the elvator. They gave US hour
and wheat to eat. They were more
be. The flour was all over our clothes.
The children's faces looked as If they
had fallen into the flour barrel Yours
truly, RUSSELL F1NCH,
