To enable the growers of wheat to
prosecute more thoroughly the cam
paign to withhold wheat from market
until the price reaches So a bushel,
farmers are actually picketing towns
in Southern Kansas. Reports to this
effect were received recently by the
national headquarters of the Wheat
Growers Association of the United
States at Wichita. The practice of
picketing apparently is well organized
in the vicinity of Harper, county seat
of Harper County, southeast of WITCH
tia. When one farmer drove into Har-
per recently, h was met by his neigh
bors, who finally persuaded him to
join them in their wheat embargo
and refuse to sell. The reports indi-
cate that the picketing is proceeding
in much the same way in which rep
resentatives OF organized labor picket
theaters or shops in cities. w. H.
McGreevy. secretary Of the associa-
ton, said if farmers will cooperate
with each other for a short time they
are certain to obtain enough more for
their wheat to pay them for so doing
The case of the farmer who is in need
OF money and has no other way than
to sell wheat to obtain cash is being
taken up in some instances, and it
was said plans are, being outlined for
the relief OF these farmers.

1.-THE members of the wheat grow

Of the Saline County association, said
recently. 1.-The farmers are not on a
strike, but are putting in another crop
and preparing to furnish the world
with wheat" Mr.. Muir asserted that
some OF the farmers would not be
able to hole their wheat, as they need
the money, while others believe they
will be able to force the price up by
withholding their crop from the mar
ket. Mr.. Muir said the association
has eighty thousand members and it
still is growing. Some of the Saline
County townships have a 100 per cent
membership in the wheat growers
association, Mr. Muir said.

HALF MILLION FOR HIGHWAYS
Road Projects Now Under Way in
State viii Bring Large Sum From
the Federal Government.

The state highway commission has
received from James c. Wonders,
United States district engineer at
Omaha, a summary of federal aid
work in the Fifth federal aid district,
comprising Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska, and covering the en-
tire federal aid situation up to Sep
TENDER 80, 1920.
This report shows that the Kansas
counties have received in cash from
the federal treasury $521, 087.01. This
money has gone to pay for the work
completed on federal aid projects, and
has been received in Allen, Atchison
Bourbon, Dickinson, Douglas, Geary
Leavenworth. Mitchell, Montgomery
Reno, Rice, Sedgwick, Labette, Shaw
nee, Sumner and Wyandotte counties
Kansas ranks second in this federal
district in the amount of money thai
has been actually paid out to the coun
ties from the federal treasury, Nebras
ka being first, but on the value Of
projects approved by the secretary OF
agriculture and project agreements ex
ecuted between the state and govern
ment, Kansas leads all the Other
states.
These figures should somewhat dis
count the statements of few of the
opponents of road work who claimed
that no federal aid would ever be
paid to the Kansas counties. There
are actually under construction il
Kansas forty-four projects, the tota
of which will amount to S9,674,885.22
and upon which federal aid will BIZ
received to the amount of $3,743, 736.

brought by Richard J. Hopkins, attor-
ney general, alleging official miscon-
| duet Wilson's attorneys also filed a
motion that the court appoint a com.
missioner to hear testimony in the
suit In the answer it is alleged that
Hopkins and L. ]. PettijOhn, secretary
of state, who with Wilson are ex-of
/ ficio members of the state charter
board, October % granted the bank
holding corporation permission to sell
its stock without requiring certain
documents to be furnished with the
application, as provided by law. One
of the 5everaI allegations brought by
Hopkins in the custer suit was that
Wilson, who then was an officer Of
the bank holding corporation, voted
to grant a charter to the company
which had not furnished all the re
quired papers. The answer also al
leges that Hopkins and Pettijohn by
issuing the permit to sell stock have
ratified Wilson's action in voting tC
grant the charter. Wilson admits thai
he voted for the charter, but categor
ically denies all other allegations
against him.
