WANTS ARMY SENT TO ITALY

can troops in limited number were
sent to Italy several months ago from

looking to the fixing of prices for stan
dard grades of raw cotton were taken

If Kansas and Midwest manufac-
turers in general do not get together
and go after war business they viii
be denied essentials, with the result
that scores of industries in this state
will be forced to close their doors.
This was the message brought back
by Earl Akers, cashier Of the Kansas
Reserve Bank of Topeka, from Wash
ington, where he had conference
with the officials in charge Of the
distribution of essentials to manufac-
turers. Akers was told if Western
manufacturers collectively would go
after war contracts they could get
enough to keep their factories rum
ming, but cooperation is considered
necessary because the contracts are
larger than the average Western man
ufacturer could take care of single
handed.

PLAN A STATE RESERVE BANK
Kansas Bankers Association to Ask
Legislature to Create Institution
Similar to Federal System.

A Kansas reserve bank similar in
many respects to the Federal Reserve
Bank system, but applicable only to
the state banks of Kansas, will be pro-
posed to the next legislature by the
Kansas State Bankers Association.
Walter Wilson, state bank commits
sioner, said recently that special COM
mittee had been named by the asso-
citation to work out the plans and
draft the law for the bank. There are
over seven hundred of the one thou
sand state banks in Kansas with a
capital so small that they cannot join
the federal reserve system and are
often handicapped in securing money
for local business or in providing in
vestments for their own funds. This
is especially true this year when East
ern Kansas banks have plenty OF
money, while Western Kansas banks
are big borrowers. The state reserve
bank will be purely bank for bank
ers, not doing a commercial business,
but handling the business of the small
state banks.

Influenza has appeared on the Pa

rotary J. c. Mohler of the state board
of agriculture that grain buyers in
certain localities are trying to take
advantage of the farmer because of
the grain embargo, established at
Kansas City by the railroad admins
tration. These complaints state that
farmers, upon bringing their wheat to
market, are told that there is prac-
tically no market for wheat because
it cannot be shipped to Kansas City.
But the dealers offer to take it at
a cut price. One farmer wrote Secre-
tary Mohler that rather than haul his
wheat back to the farm and unload
it he sold to a miller for $3.50 a
