THE WORLDS WHEAT.

Other portions Of the world report
good wheat crops this year, as well
as the United States. So there
should be bread for all. Foreign ma
tons, whose acreage is large and
whose yield is often in keeping with
the acres, state that the crop in many
sections is extraordinary.
Bulgaria, one Of the Balkan states
much interested in war, has given
facts to show that a great deal of
wheat is grown in that country. The
latest report is that more than $1,000,
900 bushels of wheat Is to be harvest
ed by the people who stayed at home
and didn't go to war. This is some
larger than the normal yield in that
country. Italy claims she will have
1873, 00O, 900 bushels, ten per cent larg-
er than the average crop in that
kingdom. India, a great grower Of
wheat, is to have nearly S6O,OOO,OO0
bushels this year, not quite, but al
most up to the general average, and
Japan figures her yield will be 81
100000 bushels, five per cent more
than the general average, year by
year.
The large Russian provinces have
not yet reported detailed figures, but
advance tales are that the large
wheat area on the southern seas is
nearly certain to show a good yield.
It is the wrong season for Argentine
wheat and for the wheat of the South
ern Hemisphere, for it isn't harvest
ed until summer there, which is win
ter here. The last yield in Argen-
tine was large, however, and there is
much wheat now over the world left
from last years crop.
Big yields everywhere, to be sure,
have their effect on the value of the
crop in America. But it is good to
know that other parts of the world
are prosperous, as America is pros
porous, and that wheat, one of the
staples, is helping to make it so.

ELl's CAR.

He owned a handsome touring car,
To ride in it was Heaven;
He ran across a piece of glass

He took his friend out for a ride,
Twas good to be alive;
The carburetor sprung Leak
Bill 1896.
He started on little tour,
The finest kind of fun;
He stopped too quick and stripped his
gears
Bill $90.51.
He took his wife down town to shop,
To save care-fare was great;
He jammed into hitching post

He spent his little pile of cash,
And then in anguish cried:
I'll put a mortgage on my house
And take Just one more ride"

That was only one of the little acts

PLAN DEATH BLOW AGAINST
COTTON EXCHANGE.

The Democratic caucus Of the sen.
ate has written into the Wilson I'm
derwood tariff bill a provision that
may put every cotton exchange out
of business. A stamp tax Of one cent
a pound or fifty cents bale is to be
imposed upon every deal in cotton
futures or other speculative trans
actions in this commodity.
No tax is imposed when there is a
bona fide transfer of the product. The
machinery for enforcing this new
legislation is inserted as an item in
the tariff bill and drafted penalties
will be visited upon those who vio-
late this provision.
When an independent measure Of
this character recently was befOne
congress, representatives Of the New
York and New Orleans cotton ex-
changes testified that II deals in fu-
lures and hedging we've prohibited,
the exchanges would not continue to
do BUSINESS. These men also argued
that such legislation would be to the
disadvantage Of the cotton grower by
restricting his market and withhold
ing the means by which he knew the
daily price of his commodity.
All of the southern senators argued
at length for the amendment. It
finally was adopted by every vote but
those of the two Louisiana senators.
Senator Overman of North Carolina,
attempted to reduce the tax to TWEEN
ty-five cents a bale, but being defeat
ed, supported the amendment.
An amendment prohibiting the i'm
portation of any goods made wholly
Or in part by child labor or convicts,
is liable to be thrown out. This, it
is said, would have the effect of
keeping out the enormous imports of
jute, vagging and burlap made in In
dia through child labor. This ma
terial, it is said, is used in great
quantities in this country in the max.
ing of grain and all sorts of bags, an
as wrappers for furniture. If prohib-
tied, it would give the American man
ufacturers an absolute monopoly.
The caucus restored to the bill the
clause of the income tax section ex,
empting mutual life insurance com.
panies, surplus funds applied to the
benefit of policy holders.

MARKET REPORT.

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 30.
Receipts of cattle here last week
were 5000 head less than in the pre-

there was in the market. Heavy

Prices here opened steady to a
shade lower on steers, but later sales
were weak to 10 lower. Cows and
stock cattle soldd about steady. There
are large number Of choice to prime
steers here today, which sold at $3.50
to 1875, bulk of the native steers
$7.75 to $3.50. Fancy Missouri mixed
yearlings brought 1855 today, from
same feed lot that furnished 1915 an

from $5.75 to $775, feeders up to
$500. Top stockers a year ago
brought s6.75, top feeders $7.75. More
than two hundred quarantine cattle
came in today, the record supply for
this year, and sales in that division

Of the nation are fixed during these
Semi-centennial commemorative days,
bear the stamp of all the great, en-
during verities that make up the

Aeroism and tragedy, romance and

The battle itself was the great
drama Of the war, if not of all
American history. Gettysburg stretch
ed across the pathway Of Lee in his
onward march toward Harrisburg and
Philadelphia. Who knows what ter
Tibe havoc he would have wrought
had he won? European recognition
Of the Confederacy's status Of belig-
erency was one of the least of the
prizes for which he contended. His
hope of raising the siege of Vicks-
. burg was pOrved vain, but that en-
tered into his reasons for invading
the North. At any rate, the curtain
rose on the most stupendous drama
ever staged when by superhuman ef-
forts the Army Of the Potomac drew
itself across his road and forced the
appeal to arms. There was no turn
ing back save in cowardice or defeat.
There was no going around that
splendid obstacle in his way. There
was no going forward but at the cost
of struggle worthy Of the days
when gods battled. The immediate
tate of the North, the relief of the
. desperate state of the South, posi-
bly, the long postponement of the fl
nal triumph of the cause of liberty,
perhaps the very fate of the Union
itself, hung upon the issue. That
was drama.
The battle was on. For two days
Lee hurled the flower Of the South
against the flower of the North in
. the vain effort to turn the federal
TANKS. There was left only the GEN.
ter-and Pickett, to make his i'm
mortal charge, as heroic and as vain
as the charge of the Old Guard at

WORKING ON LIBRARY PLANS

Architect Rose of Kansas City, was
in Larned few hours Saturday in
consultation with the members of the
city council regarding the plans for
the new Cummins memorial building.
He took notes of suggestion made
by the council committee and is work
ing on a preliminary sketch which
will be submitted for their approval
probably the last of the week.
The plans now under consideration
contemplate a two story building 40
by 70 feet, to be built of brick. The
first or basement story will contain
the rooms for the city clerk and wa
ter department, and a council room
with partitions which may be raised,
and which, when thrown together,
will have seating capacity Of about
275, This room could be used for
both the council and the business
mems association.
The second story will be devoted
entirely to the library and will con-
tain the reading rooms, stack room,
etc. As now planned, the building
will face west with the long way on
Broadway. The architect believes
this building can be built fire-proof
construction within the $4,000. AS
soon as plans are approved by the
council, he will prepare plans and
specifications ready for the contract
ors to bid on.-Larned ChronoscOpe.

self the charge was ordered. When
the fatal order was received Long
street could not find voice to utter
the words of command. He bowed
his head and a long clasp Of Pickett:
hand were signal enough. In the
face of a frightful rain of shot and
shell the long gray line swept across
the plain and up the slope, stopping
midway to dress under fire''-su-
preme of human courage and disci-
pline. Moved down in awful swaths
of slaughter, the lines reformed and
kept on; on up the steep hills that
never before had grown such har-
vest as that which strewed their
sides; on through the orchard that
never grew such CHASTITY fruit as that
which fell beneath its trees; on and
over the wall at the bloody angle"
until the vanguard, the farthest
spume Of that terrific wave Of war,
died beside the guns they captured
On the ground wherein the men in
blue had knelt and shot few mo-
ments before, almost winning the fight
but losing by that heart-breaking
hair rs breadth. The Union and the
Confederacy hung by a thread. Al
most would another man have turned
the scale. That was Heroism and
Fate and God.
But the glamor Of Pickett's charge
has obscured to some extent the mag
nificence Of the equal valor that held
the long lines Of blue steadfast
against the three days Of fierce as
sault. It required supreme bravery,
almost superhuman endurance, Ger
tainly an exalted love for the Union
that trembled in the balance to with
stand the mighty onsets that beat
and hurled back the invading foe.
The Stars and Stripes must have
been supremely dear in those deSper-
ate hours when the Stars and Bars
were so deadly near. More men who
wore the blue than wore the gray fell
at Gettysburg and gave the last full
measure of devotion" to their coun4
try. That was Patriotism, and the
Victory that such patriotism always
deserves but does not always win.
Then the tide began to ebb and the
gray lines turned and went another
way, backs where faces filled with
fierce hate had been so short a time
before. The Confectionery had lost
and a few hours later Robert E. Lee
lifted the flap of his tent and passed
out of the moonlight into the sorrow
of Despair and Defeat. The echo of
the guns of Gettysburg was the
bugles that sounded Lees retreat,
and while they were sounding Grant
and Pemberton were discussing the
surrender of Vicksburg. That was
Tragedy in epic guise.
But General Pickett's war time
