WHEAT RECEIPTS ARE LOW
Kansas Farmer Are Holding Tight
to Grain

Grain dealers at Junction City
declare that the falling OF Of wheat
movements. presumably from the
wheat strike" engaged In at this
time by producers, has become very
noticeable there and elsewhere thru
out this part Of the state. On one
day recently but five loads Of wheat
were marketed in Junction City. At
Plainville, in a big wheat country,
the record Of wheat receipts show
only one-third as much wheat was
marketed in October, according to re-
ports received here, despite the fact
that the wheat crop in that district
was three times as large as that Of a
year ago. This month, the Plainville
report said. practically no wheat at
all has been delivered to market.
A grain company reports that as
per cent Of the grain elevators on the
main line and branch lines Of the
Union Pacific, west Of Salina, have
less than one car Of wheat in them,
and farmers are hauling absolutely
no wheat" The report continues: "We
find this same condition exists in the
territorities tributary to Hutchinson
and Wichita"
Two large Touring mills at juno
ton City have shut down their mills
Indefinitely, due to the generally I'M
favorable marketing conditions con-
fronting the Kansas -four manufac-
turers. The millers said they would
start up on part time capacity as
soon as orders absorbed the product
now on hand. They complain that
the Kansas millers are at disadvan-
tage in marketing their flour because
the miIlers of the northwest, who are
using Canadian wheat, bought at
price lower than that Of Kansas
wheat, can undersell the Kansas pro-
duct.

"rhe form Of illegal combination

FLU PASSES US BY
No Epidemic in Sight For Coming
Winter

Winter
Kansas probably will not suffer
from new Influenza epidemic this
winter. That is the statement of DR.
r. d. futile, epidemiologist Of the
State Board of Health.
IF the theory of an eastern
scientist that the flu moves in cycles
of thirty three weeks is correct, Kan
sas need not fear recurrence before
May L." said, Doctor futile. "The
history Of influenza epidemics since
they first broke out in the fall Of
1918 indicate that there is definite
cycle. The peak Of the last epidemic
coming about February /, 1920,
would make the next peak come about
October l.. But it did not material
lie. For several months the number
Of cases reported has been on the de-
cline"
Not only is the state practically
free from flu at this time but no
other serious epidemics prevail at this
time, according to Doctor futile.
Diphtheria is prevalent in the south
eastern part of the state and the to-
tai number Of cases in the state Is
more than year ago, but the situa-
tion seems well under control, he
said. "Whooping cough we have
with us always. The seasonal In

LEGION PLANS Bio YEAR
Officers Elected For 1921 and Plans
Discussed

At the regular meeting of the
American Legion last night Officers
were elected for the year 1921 and
plans were started whereby james
X. Cutler post of the American
Legion will be put nj The head OF the
list Of state posts. A fair repre-
sentati0n Of the post membership was
present and every man was on his
toes and working hard for every Le-
gion interest. The James X. Cutler
post has a paid membership. every
man In good standing, OF PIT ex-ser-
vice men. This number includes q
large majority Of the ex.service men
In the county.
The work accomplished by the post
during the year Just closing was re-
viewed and was very complimentary
TO the post officers who gave their
time to make the first and hardest
year Of the posts existence a big sue
cess.
The newly elected officers are as
follows: Post commander, Frank H.
Grigg: vice post commander. Carr
Foltz: post adjutant. Howard Seip;
finance officer. Lane Latimer; post
historian, Everett Bowen: master at
arms. John Machen: post chaplain.
Clyde Kaufman; post service officer,

Rodgers.
Two new officers were added to
the star this year. They are post
service officer who looks after all
claims Of any ex-service man such as
insurance, allotments, lost or moor
rect discharges, vocational training,
etc. This should be one OF the most
helpful departments Of the post both
to the community and to all ex.ser-
vice men members believe. Mr..
Motter, Of the Redman Motor Co.
has charge Of this department and
will give It very competent attention.
A news reporting department was
also added. the duties Of this depart
ment IL to keep the Legion and its In
terests before the public both locally
and nationally.

ONE OF FIVE RECEIVE THEM


Ex.Soadiers Not Applying Fast Fcs
Victory Medals
About one out Of every Eve World
War veterans in Kansas and Mis-
souri, has applied for his Victory
medal, according to army officers in
Kansas City in charge Of distribu-
ton Of the medals.
The medal is the official emblem
given by the government to every
participant Of the World War and Is
mailed free to every man entitled TO
it. It rs a bronze disk bearing q fg-
ure Of a. winged victory suspended
from width Of heavy silk ribbon.
In case a soldier died the medal
is given to his wife, parent, brother
or sister.
Applicants are asked to send appli-
cations to the Victory Medal Officer,
U. s.. Army, 203 East 18th street,
Kansas City, Mo. The application
should. be accompanied by the dis
charge certificate but to those unwill-
ing to send in their discharges, forms
will be forwarded on which copies
may be made. Field clerks have been
sent out in this territory to aid ap-
plicants in securing their medals but
many ex-service men have missed
the visits Of these clerks. The War
Department, according to local Off
GERS, is making every effort to see
that every man gets his medal but
this has been handicapped by the
slowness of former soldiers in apply
ing. 1t is pointed out that no fee OF
any kind is required and the medal
ordinarily should reach the applicant
within ten days after his application
is sent in.
