$4,000 bushels of wheat loaded for
Italian ports. The big electric car
riers pushed over bushel in front of
every slat on the immense endless
carrier, and shutes quickly loaded it
in every part of the vessel. A letter

it came from the Ellis county fields
shipped from ToulOn, Victoria and
Gorham elevators under the charge
of Mr.. Hager of the Wichita and Hoff-
