Simplicity of operation is the watchword of the Accounting Department. The accounting system has been built so as to show, at all times, the details of the business and yet the costs of keeping the accounts are held at the minimum by the use of calculating machines. The accountant has at his fingers end any information that may be called foo by the-Sales or Traffic departmets; by the directors or by any regarding the plumber of busels sold and amount received, the amount in storage at terminal or country points the number of bushels of wheat received, from tach member, its and value and the amount, advanced to him. The ifirst three payments to members are made on the basis of the grade of wheat, only. It is on the final settlement when the protein content is taken ito cosideration, and adjustment made on' that basis.

Regular forms are provided for additional" payments to.member's, which are mailed out from the Headquarters as fast as sales and collections warrant. One payment in acldi'fioh to the advance payment was made the 1st of December by.the Kansas Association. The large majority of the, Assso-; ciation. the jp'ast year was delivered 1 when wheat was selling from 68c to 78c per bushel for No, 1 wheat nt country stations. Members of the association already have received 05c per bushtil and they have two payments yet to come.

Proper terminals- the of grain to be in each -0 it can reach its final destination without a back are determined by nco between the toaffic manager and the sivlos manager. Sufficient storage space is leased so that country are- not asked to store wheat unless. they desire to do so. Cars are obtained and distributed to allow country elevators to ship out at their convenience so that bin -room is practically always available at country points to receive wheat from the Frequently local elevators have trouble in securing care and the traffic department, because of its immense business, lean often overcome the and secure cars at a moment's-notice.

The Sales Department It has by the old line: grain trade that any such association cannot handle wheat more it is "hand i I der the old system. According to information given out by the ment, wheat under the old system is consigned and. re-consigned, sold and 're-sold, about from city to city until an average of about four cars have been required eventually to get the wheat to the miller. Under the 1 pooling system, over ninety per cent of the wheat is sold direct to the millers and shipped directly from the country station to the flour mill. The economy alone will in a year the thousands and thousands of dollars.

I How the Wheat is Financed The.wheat! of the pooling organization is financed by local banks and by the intermediate credit banks conducted by the Federal Government, Many Kansas banks were reluctant, dne year ago, to loan money to tne association. Just as soon, however, as the War Finance Board at Washington, after a thorough and complete investigation, offered to loan the association two and one-half million dollars, banks of Kansas offered to make any loans loans are made at from five to six per cent interest, most of them being short-term loans with payments made from day to day just as the wheat is sold, and interest stopping on the amounts thus paid. The association issues Terminal Warehouse receipts for security on its loans. The association can borrow from 60 to 80 per cent of "the value of the wheat at the Terminals. The advance to growers is slightly less than the amount which can be borrowed because the association must "play safe" at all times and must also have on hand enough money to' handle the "wheat from the time it is delivered' to the local elevator unitl it is in the Terminals at Wichita or Kansas City.

Loans cannot satisfactorily be secured in local elevators. Storage on the Farm It is the general rule of the wheat pooling organization to pay the farmers for storage on the farms. The directors set a specific date on which storage will start. During the past two years the Kansas Association has paid the grower 1 l-5c per bushel for each'month that he held his wheat beyond August 1st. If he held' his wheat from August to January 1st he would have, 6c coming to him per bushel for storage alone.

The association realizes that there is always enough "distressed" wheat which will be delivered at threshing time to fill all probable orders from millers and by paying this storage to the farmers, they save the storage which they otherwise would pay the terminals, and also are saved the interest on the advance payment and also the insurance on the grain. The Attitude of the Mills The attitude of the flour mills has changed considerably during the past year. When the association first started many mills believed that it was a "heading" proposition and strongly opposed such an organization. They have learned that the purpose of the organization is to sell its wheat in an yeruL just as the mills require the is in no sense a holding "proposition. Just recently the manager of one of th-? largest mills in Kansas told 13.

E. Corporon, General Kansas Wheat Growers advantageous the order Ailed on whatever day'orr days I specify." The mills also is indicated by the manner in which they ipermit their elevators to handle the wheat for members of the During the first year of its operation, no mill would permit its elevators to handle the association wheat. practically every mill in Kansas has offered to handle the association wheat at any point ifiPthe state where they have elevators. Terms of Contract The contract provides that each member shall sell all his wheat through the association for a period of five years. The only exception is that "he need the wheat he wishes for seed or feed for himself or any seed that he may sell direct to other growers.

He does not bind himself to raise wheat each or any one year. If he raises no wheat ear, of obligation. The 'association offers to the farmers not only a business-like manner of selling his wheat but also offers to the country elevator an opportunity to handle wheat on a basis which will in. sure the financial success of the un; dertaking. By handling association wheat, the country elevator is spared that risk which so often has spelled 'bankruptcy in handling speculative wheat and gives the elevator an opportunity 1 of handling wheat at so much a bushel.

While the elevator can never make an exhorbitant profit, which is only rarely experienced by any co-operative elevator, there is certainly much more satisfaction to be secured from handling wheat in this manner when each stockholder knows that he can assured of a reasonable rate of return on his investment each year in place of con stantly' worrying about a tremenduous loss. To the banker it means the coming in of new capital thi'oughout the year, without the heavy drain and. strain which is necessary under the old system at threshing time. It. means, when the association has secured enough wheat to.

become a dominant factor in the marketing of this great cereal, that the price can be placed on a basis, to compare with other commodities. HAS UNUSUAL PHOTOGRAPH J. W. Smith, a Minneapolis Kansas man, has an unusual photograph. It shows "Chub" McCarthy hanging to Geison's bridge.

But I have another duty Constitutional, and even more important, or securing the enforcement of, the law. In, that duty I do not intend to fail. At the revelation of greed making its vsubtle approaches to public, officers, of the vate profit, we are filled with scorn and indignation. We have a deep sense of humiliation at such gross betrayal of trust, and we lament the undermining of the public confidence in official integrity.

But we cannot rest with righteous wrath; still less can we permit ourselves to give away to cynicism. heart of the American people is sound. Their officers with rare exception are faithful and high- minded. For us, we propose to follow the clear, open path of justice. There will be immediate adequate, unshrinking prosecution, criminal and civil, to punish the guilty and to protect every National interest.
