Representatives of Two AssOci-

Much Wheat Is Being Shipped

Alarmed by the possibility of mills
in Kansas being forced to shut down
because of government expectation of
wheat from the state, officials of the
two state grain dealers associations
and representatives of the milling in
dustry will meet tomorrow in Hutch

grain remaining in the state may be
milled by Kansas mills and the finish
ed product exported, it was announced
here today by E. j. Smiley, secretary
of the grain dealers association. The
program, should one be successfully
conceived, will be placed before Judas
H. Barnes, president of the United
States grain corporation. He will be
urged to approve it that the crisis
which Kansas millers say they are
facing, may be relieved.

Much Wheat Shipped Out.
Smiley declares that Under the gov
eminent policy of handling wheat and
furnishing it to mills a great amount
of the Kansas crop has been shipped
out of the state already. In some in
stances it has been shipped to c>e-
braska. He cites an instance where
Nebraska wheat was shipped to Kan
sas causing a duplication in cost of
transportation.

a capacity of 100000 bushels

was about 100000 bushels. Twelve
million bushels have been put back
in the ground for seed. About TO-
900, 900 bushels have been ground or
shipped out of the state. This leaves
only 20, 900, 900 remaining in the state.
THE wheat remaining is sufficient
to run all Kansas mills this winter if
the government will allow them to
use it.
Mills May Have to Close.
I Under the present method of the
Kansas City headquarters office it is
being shipped out before it is ground
and if this continues Kansas mills will
have to close.
What we are going to try to do in
Hutchinson tomorrow will be to for
mulate a scheme whereby this Kan
sas wheat may be ground by Kansas
mills and the finished product shipped
out. In this way transportation costs
will be lowered and Kansas mills will
continue to run. The mills are well

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is rot necessary TO shampoo your
hair so frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the
use of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving a teaspoonful of can
throx, which can be obtained from
any druggist, in a cup of hot water.
This makes a fun cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just the
top of the head. This when rubbed
into the scalp and onto every strand
of hair, chemically dissolves all i'm
purities. 1t is very soothing and cool
ing in its action, as we'll as beneficial
