Kansas Flour.
Kansas Industrialist:
l2-23-2t

Kansas lndustrialist:
Thirty-two percent Of all wheat
grown in Kansas is shipped out Of
the state to be ground into -four!
Think of it! For the season of
10000 the Kansas wheat crop
was=80, $685. 40 bushels. Of this
amount only 1914 1926 bushels
we're milled in Kansas. The re-
mainder or 80 percent, went out
of the state, benefitting other
states at the expense of Kansas.
Every sack or Darrell of Kan
sas -four" says Henry j. Waters,
president of the Kansas state agri-
cultural college, should bear the
word Kansas stamped upon it,"
Kansas produces more winter
wheat than any other state. Why
is it milled in other states9 Can't
Kansas mills handle the big crop9
Of course they can, and here are
the figures: There are over 245
mills in Kansas, with total capa
city of more than SO m Hon
bushels. The crop of 10000 was
80 million bushels. The mills are
more than capable of handling the
output of the Kansas wheat fields.
In 10000 the Kansas mills ran
only 81 percent of their total
capacity.
If the cause is not the inability
of the mills to handle the crop,
what then is the reason that Kan
sas wheat is ground outside the
state9 Simply because Kansas
flour is not advertised as it should
be. The proper demand that Kan
sas flour deserves has not been
created. People do not hear
enough about it,

LITTLE KNOWN BLACK RACE
American Consul at Lorenzo Marques
Tells Interesting story About
People OF An0ochc.

An interesting story is told by the
American consul at Lorenzo Mar
Sques about the little known people in
the Angoche, East Africa, who were
recently visited for the first time by
Europeans, The Europeans visited
"a village, where the tents were sur
rounded by hundreds Of blacks
many Of whom had never seen q
white man. When a chief was pre-
scented, the white strangers were in
formed that a drink might be Of
fered him. This being done, the
glass was quietly handed to, the court
faster, who, blandly taking the risk
of poison, promptly drained it.
whereupon the chief took the bottle.
Among the women Of Angoche, it is
customary to paint the face with a
peculiar paste that stays cold on the
face for hours, and that, when dry,
turns a dazzling white. As the ex-
petition was about to start from a
Village, the women and sightseerS
crowded in closer and closer, and a
baby, seeing white man for the
first time, burst into shrieks Of ter
ror. A penny was thrown to the
baby, and Immediately every mother
started pinching her offspring to
make it cry.
