KANSAS FARMERS NEED AID
Wichita Grain Dealers Urge Food Con-
troll Committee TO Look After
Rural Interests.

Wichita grain dealers have started
a movement that VIII likely create
something of a stir in official Wash
iDgton. They are calling attention to
the need of the food control commit
tee to look after the interests of the
farmer if they expect the farmer to
sow an added acreage of wheat A
letter has been sent to every elevator
man in Kansas and Oklahoma request
ing him to get in touch with the farm
ers and ask them to urge senators and
congressman to look after their in
terests.
This action on the part of the mem
bers of the board of trade was prompt
ed partly by the receipt of letter by
S. P. Wallingford, president of the
board, from DR.. E. Wilson Of Alva,
Ok, saying that it is matter of bust
ness and existence as we'll as patriot
ism with the farmers. He says that
he has decided to sow only half as
much wheat this year as he sowed
last year, because of the high cost Of
production and the good prices which
other crops are bringing.
Mr.. Wallingford called a special
meeting of the board of trade which
not only decided on the above action,
but appointed a committee to go to
Kansas City and meet the food con-
troll committee of the Southwest and
urge upon them the need to protect
the interest of the farmers so that the
wheat acreage can be maintained.
The committee consists of L. H.
Powell, Charles Smith, Clark Burdg,
W. F. Mccullough and Edward Kelly

youthful looking. All its advantages
may be summed up in the declaration
that it is a f1attering mode.
Although satin and wool have been
chosen for the greater number OF the
new models, our old friend taffeta is
we'll represented among them. Its tex
ture makes it desirable where certain
effects IN draperies are sought, as In
the frock shown in the picture Here
the straight line appears in the front
and back of the dress, but Is broken at
the sides with drapery that widens the
figure and falls from the waist line.

The "canniness" of the Scottish
