claim that the Sunflower State Will
raise record breaking wheat crop
this wear, and places the figure at
$50. 100000 bushcis,i
While the Board OF Trade was
closed today to business because of
the primary election, there was a
large number of spectators to be
seen in the various private wire
houses as the New York stock market
was open Wheat corn and oats
were discussed, and there were two
sides to all OF these markets. with
more attention given TO the hrst
named grain The markets open to
business were not unlike ship
without rudder" with Chicago
closed and the volume of trade at
those points was necessarily small in
consequence Kansas city reported
cash house in the trade there as hav-
ing bought considerable May wheat
and that market. as well as other
points, reported eastern millers as
buying the best grades OF wheat for
immediate shipment
Argentina Is commencing 10 ship
oats in larger quantities; there IN an
increase in export from the United
States to Great Britain and those in
a position to know. there will be
sharp declines in these grains, al
though London was one point higher
on oats today.
Speculation In hog products has
been rather small of late and the
grain trade Is taking little interest
at the moment, awaiting n chance
to take on long lines at more salts
factory prices for them.

COOPERATION A WINNER

The three principal cities of Colo
RADIO are at last working for the COM
mon good of all. Denver is aiding
Pueblo to land the proposed ammuni-
tion and gun factories to be establish
ed in the center of the nation, and
Pueblo is supporting Denver for the
enlargement of Fort Logan and the
establishment of the Midwest Military
Training Acadamy at that point.
Fort Logan long ago would have
been recognized as the great central
army depot II Colorado's representa-
tives had been unit at the proper
time. and such things as these are
lessons the towns of Crowley county
may we'll heed. When any one town
In this county goes after thing, that
town should have the united support
of all the others to successfully ac-
complish the task or undertaking.
There is little. II any, jealousy and
there should be none. But on the
other hand there should be more Of
real cooperation.

COULD USE OLD PLANKs


In 1896 the following appeared as
one of the planks In the Republican
party's platform and could well be
adapted this year inasmuch as the
Turks are again staying the innocent:
''The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and Just
Indignation of the American people
and we believe tho United States
should exercise all the influence it
can properly exert to bring these
atrocities to an end. In Turkey,
American residents have been expos
ed to the gravest dangers and Ameri-
can property destroyed. There and
everywhere American citizens and
American property must be absolute
ly protected at all hazards and at any
cost"
