FARMERS HOLD WHEAT
Expect HigheF Price Later-Women
Object to Probe and Boycotts.

Jewell City, Kan, jan IA large
amount of wheat is still i'll the hands
of farmers in this section of the state.
Several have not parted even with a
single load, and they expect better
prices soon Many will hold their
grain until next year
The women in this district do not
take kindly to boycotts and probes
which the people in the cities are adj
vocating so ardently. The women
who deal in farm produce think it is
high time they were having an inn
ing, and they are getting what is COM
ing to them in the present high prices.
They justify their objection to pro-
posed reduction by holding up the
advanced prices on city made prod
ucts.
Fred Beeler, farmer in this vicinity,
is the biggest taxpayer in the county.
His taxes amount to nearly $1,000. He
made his money on his farm, and he
clings to the old place. The best baby
in this section is a farm baby, too.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Appleby, who are the parents of six
children.
