moderate setback all around
oats sagged with corn. After
opening unchanged TO a shade high

market underwent a material drop.
Rallies in sterling exchange led
subsequently, to upurns IN the corn
market. Prices closed firm &c 10

sThe Kansas what growers feels
keen1y the manipulation of wheat
prices by the Board Of Trade and the
effect of millions of bushels of Cana
dian wheat coming into the United
States, as well as the cold indifference
of the Department of Justice at this
critical time relative to the farmers
interest," according to A. O. Miller,
Director of Publicity of the Repubi-
can State Committee.
Between the manipulation of the
wheat gamblers at Chicago, and the
flow of millions of bushels of Cana
dian wheat into this country free of
duty and the failure of the Attorney
Generals Department at Washing
ton TO act, conditions for wheat grow
ers have become SO serious, says Mr.
Miller, ssthat Governor Allen wired
President Wilson asking him to in
vestigate not only the importation
of Canadian wheat, but also to inves-
tigate the methods of the wheat gam
blers on the Chicago Board of Trade
Thus far no action on the part of
the government to relieve the situa-
ton has been Forthcoming"
fsThe Canadian wheat crop this
year is 225, oOO,O 900 bushels. The fl
nAnC1al SITUATION Win the BRUSH En-
pire makes tight money market in
both Canada and the British Isles.
The Canadian. bankers are urging the
farmers to convert their grain into
money to strengthen the financial stu
alton, with the result they are dump
ing it on to the American market, free
of duty, on account of the Democratic
Underwood free trade tariff law, at
price from five to fifteen cents below
the price in the United States. Under
the Republican tariff law duty of
Is cents bushel was placed on wheat.
Our mills at Detroit, Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Chicago, Buffalo, New York and
as far south as st. Louis have bought
Canadian wheat in large quantities,
the result of which is costing the Kan
sas farmers millions of dollars
One of the particularly pleasing
| things about Mr.. White as Congress
man is that any constituent in his dis
| trict may write or wire him at any
time for any assistance needed in
Washington and they can always rest
| assured that Mr.. White will take the
necessary steps to see that their bus
