Stockyards company has found it nee
essary to Immediately make large

HERE'S A
GOOD One

In dictionary published in 1854,
we find this definition of fountain
pen: "a pen made of silver or BRASS
contrived to contain a considerable
quantity of ink and let it flow out by
degrees. To use the pen, the cover
must be taken off, and the pen little
shaken, to make the ink run more
freely"
All of which goes to prove that
some fountain pen manufacturers have
made small progress in 160 years,
for their pens still have to be a
Little shaken" before the ink will
begin to flow.
You never see a Conklin user Jig
ging and bouncing his pen to get the
ink started. A Conklin writes the
instant it touches the paper.
That's one of a dozen good reasons
why we handle the Conklin pen ex-
clusively.

EXTEND THE WHEAT
EMBARGO TO AUGUST .

No more Kansas wheat will be ac
cepted by the Santa Fe for shipment
to Galveston for export until mid
night of August Z. The embargo on
the gulf port, scheduled to have
been raised Saturday night, was or
dered continued until next Friday
night. The following announcement
was made officially from the Santa
Fe offices, following a conference of
railroad officials:
"The extreme uncertainty existing
among steamship companies on ac-
count of the threatened European
war; the unwillingness of marine in
surers to take over risks; the fail
ure to clean up at the port as quick
ly as anticipated, and the threaten
ed trouble attending operation as a
possible result of the threatened
strike of locomotive engineers and
'iremen, the embargo on export
wheat to Galveston has been cont!n-
led until midnight August e."
The wheat market conditions in
Kansas seem to be as incoherent as
he political conditions are said to
e in the Sunflower state at times.
here is record breaking crop.
What is to become of It? Kansas
ouldn't use 1t all in some several j
ears. Even the entire United States I
an use it all only at such low prices I
8 to drive the word profit out of {
le farmers vocabulary.
Now the European war, which g
rst threatened to drive wheat to a
e dollar mark, may aid in cutting
q price to pieces. The unde"writ- u
s have refused to write insurance :
