Have School Boards Overlooked This?
Either many Of the school boards
have overlooked the new law concern
ing distribution OF school books, or they
have failed to report their action to
their county superintendent or the
State School Book Commission.
The law of 1913 provides:
First. The school district, by ma
jority vote, may buy the school books
and furnish them to the pupils free.
Second. school district board Or
board Of education NAV set aside a re-
voIving fund from which the district
clerk shall purchase books, selling
them to pupils at cost and returning
the moneys received to the revolving
fund. Orders must be sent to the Sec
rotary of the School Book Commission.
The school district board or board OF
education may designate some dealer
or dealers to handle the books for that
district. in which case said dealer shall
| be allowed a commission of tn per
cent. All dealers so designated must
make application to the Secretary of
the School Book Commission, accom-
panied by an agreement endorsed by
the county superintendent of his coun-
tY. Blank applications may be had
from county superintendents.
These provisions for distribution OF
books apply to books printed By the
state only The adopted books, the
contracts for which have not expired,
are still handled in the same manner as
before.

Rushing Wheat to Early Market Is
Heavy Loss

Farming today is complicated pro-
cess. A general analysis of the farm
business gives rs three important spec
ialized branches.
/. The producing of good raw pro-
duct
2. Operations that convert this pro
duct into a marketable article.
8. Marketing or erations.
The farmers of Kansas and of Ellis
county especially, have been successful
in the first BRANCH. Perhaps never be-
fore has this portion Of Kansas raised
so much wheat.
The second branch includes harvest
ing and threshing, and no one knows
better how TO do this than the midas
.rious wheat grower If the weather is
favorable, the wheat will soon be in
stack. 1t is hoped it will be so well
stacked that no damage will result even
though threshing is indefinitely post
poned.
1t is the purpose of this article to
dwell upon the third branch Of the
farming operation, namely, marketing
