Makes A startling Illustration

Forty cars of wheat were received
at Topeka one day this week for
the Derby Grain Company. To cover
the purchase. s65.00O was deposited
with bank by c. l.. Parker, score
tary Of the company.
BY an odd coincidence. a year ago
the same day, the Derby Grain Com
pany received similar shipment of
40 cars Of grain. The amount then
necessary to carry the transaction
was $165,00O.
Which means that in July OF this
year Kansas farmers received $780,
900 less for 40 cars of wheat than
they did for the same amount OF
grain last year.-Capper's Weekly.
