PASS BIG GRAIN BILL
Senator Culp's Measure Ready for the
Governors Signature.

Governors signature.
Probably the most important piece
of legislation for farmers at this ses-
sion has found its way thru the two
houses and has gone to Governor Allen
for his signature. The bill, which was
introduced by Senator Bert Culp of
Mitchell county. provides authority for
issuance of warehouse receipts by local
elevators and is expected to double
the present public grain storage ca
pacity OF 22,000.o00 bus,-els.
The new measure leaves the former
public warehouse law unchanged as to
terminal elevators. 1t gives to the
local elevators. tho the right to store
grain and insure receipts These re-
ceipts may be used. in carrying on local
business and will lift a big financial
burden off the crop growing districts.
The receipts woul be accepted as gilt
edge collateral at reserve banks and
relieve scores of situations such as con-
fronted local elevator men and crop
growers during the last year
If the storage capacity of a local eie-
vator becomes congested, the law per-
mits removal of grain to any terminal
elevator within the state All eleva-
tors are made available for storage of
grain and issuance OF warehouse re-
! ceipts under the new law.
The present storage capacity of
public warehouses as defined und er
the old law is 22.0o0.000 bushels. The
new law will at least double this
capacity. In addition to increasing
this available capacity for storage and
credit purposes, local banks will De
able to handle promptly all paper on
grain stored in local elevators. The
new law was framed to fit Kansas con-
ditions and by farmer and wheat
grower members of the legislature Is
regarded as the most beneficial bit OF
agricultural legislation enacted during
the present session.

This explosion Tridon explained,

'The greatest cause of insanity is
repression" Tridon said. Every per-
son is endowed with the GRAZING for
self-expression. This may take the
form of music, art. oratory or what
not. The American people, particular
ly the Anglo-Saxon element have
been taught to repress these natural
desires. A drink or two enabled him
to slough off their natural reserve,
and they sang, or Grated, or did what
they most longed for.
People who did not seek an outlet
for these things through the tenn
perate use Of alcohol, or the intern
perate use Of drugs, often became in
sane-and their insanity took the
form of doing to an extreme the
thing they had repressed
