The mills of the state require about fifty million bushels of wheat for grinding into flour.

According to the millers, not to exceed one-third of the Join Tlie Band Wagon Kansas crop this year will make flour 1 that will meet the demands of the American trade. This does not mean that the remainder of this wheat is unmarketable. Wheat can be sold for mmmmmmmA i'iiiil'ii'iiitiilm export that cannot be used for the home flour trade at all. It means, however, that Kansas millers will have to import from the North about twenty million bushels of such wheat "According to the best estimates the cost of the first year of Europe's war is $46,000,000,000. By the close of the second year of war it will have cost $120,000,000,000.

The vastness of these sums can only be grasped by comparison. One hundred and twenty billion dollars equals three-fourths of the entire wealth of the United States: It is one and one-half times the wealth of England and Germany. It is two and one-half times the wealth of France, three times the wealth of Eussia and six times the wealth of Italy. If Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherland, Spain, Italy, Aus-tra-Hungary and France were sold at auction it would take the combined price of all of them to pay for the first two years of the European war at its present rate of expenditure. If the average laborer, after paying for his living out of his work, lays by $200 a year it would take an army of laborers working perpetually to pay the interest on Europe's first two years war debt.

This is the heritage that is to be bequeathed to future generations. as they require to produce the kind of flour their trade demands. A year ago the conditions were reversed and the wheat of Minnesota and the Da-kotas was so badly off grade that the big mills of the North had to buy Kansas wheat in large quantities. Kansas Farmer. The old man of this shop will leave this week for Washington, where he will in all probability, be all of the winter and perhaps into late spring or early summer.

He expects to send back some of his impressions from Washington for the "columns of the Press. Strange as it may sound, a congressman at the capital, who looks after the interests of two hundred thousand people and does his best to be of some use tp his people, is a very busy man. We will not have time to -write to many of the readers of the paper, but will always be glad to liear from them and have the benefit of their counsel. We will find a couple of hours each week to jot down a few thoughts for these columns and when we do this we feel that we are rather writing a general letter to the folks at home and the folks of the district. We expect to vote every vote that we cast in Washington just as we would cast it were every constituent that we have sitting in the gallery looking on.

It will be little short of a miracle if some times we do not vote wrong, but it shall not be our intention to do so. Our one ambition shall be, when we shall surrender the Commission the people have given us to represent them at Washington, whether it be surrendered voluntarily or otherwise, that we can hand it back to them free from any mark or stain and with a consciousness of having done our best all of the time we held it. It is with this feeling that we start to Washington at this time, feeling we shall have the prayers and the support of our friends and that even those who in many things hold different opinions from ours, will continue to exercise a good deal of that charity which they have extended to us in times gone by. John Connelly in Colby Free Press. There was an old geezer and he had a lot of sense; He started up in business on adollar-eighty-cents The dollar for stock and the eighty for an ad Brought him three lovely dollars in a day, by dad! Well, he bought more goods and a little more space And he played that system with a smile on his face.

The customers flocked to his two-by-four And soon he had to hustle for a regular store. Up on the square, where the people pass, He gobbled up a store that was all plate glass. He fixed up the windows with the best that he had And he told 'em about it in a half-page ad. He soon had 'em coming and he never, never quit. And he wouldn't cut down on his ads one jit.

Well, he's kept things humping in the town ever since. And everybody calls him the Merchant Prince. Some say it's luck, but that's all bunk Why, he was doing business when the times were punk. People have to purchase and the geezer was wise For he knew the way to get 'em was to advertise. E.

We get mighty tired of an insurance department run by the insurance companies and a board of public utilities controlled by the rail roads. Mankato Advocate.

The photograph of the likeness of Otis L. Benton is again showing up in the columns of our many republican exchanges over the Sixth congressional district. "Money is what talks" is being very aptly demonstrated in the case of Otis, and as long as he shells out twenty dollar gold certificates he will find his republican brethern great boosters. But Benton is a banker by instinct, and many years practice, and he may have a way of his own all figured out how to meet the expense if elected to The national corn crop this year is estimated by the government 3,090,000,000 bushels, only 34 million bushels less than the record crop of 1912, but worth more almost two billion dollars. The wheat crop is estimated at 1,002,029,000 bushels, the largest crop ever grown by this or any other nation.
