IN KANSAS FIRST
Governor Hodges Gives Advice
to Grain Shippers.
Takes Stand Against Markets
In Kansas City.

Governor Hodges today took defi-
mite stand against the shipment of
Kansas wheat to Kansas City, Mo-, and
foreign markets, when he urged the
railroads and grain men in Wichita
to advocate the shipment OF grain to
Kansas markets in recognition Of the
state grain inspection laws. Under the
present system, Missouri markets do
not recognize the. Kansas inspection
and Governor Hodges would call upon
the grain dealers and shippers to pat
ronize local state markets to uphold
the state law.
It was impossible for Governor
Hodges to attend the Wichita meeting
to discuss plans for handling the Kan
sas wheat crop. This fact, however,
did not prevent his sending greetings
to the men attending the Wichita
gathering and to urge the upholding
OF Kansas grain inspection.
We appreciate more than you may
know the corporation of your board

Mr.. Sessions is out of the state and
