Joe Manino, an Italian serving a

Plenty Seed Wheat

There need be no fear but that
there will be suficient seed whes t
avalla Bile in Kansas to seed the
state next fall. This was the
report today of W. M. Jardine
and J c. Mohler, mem Der of the
agricultural committee to the
counci! of defense at the meeting
called by Chairman Waters TO
lay plans for the big wheat drive
Some time ago the board of
agriculture began making in
quiries as to the probable acre.
age of wheat in each county of
the state. On Jnne 10 the board
also obtained.the full crop report
from each county. On the basis
Of these figures it was shown
what the probable acreage of
wheat would be in each county
and about what the yield of
wheat would be which would be
harvested this year.
There are forty counties in
the state for which seed wheat
must be imported this year.
These forty counties are all west
of Washington, Reno, and Har-
per counties. Each of these will
raise some wheat, but not enough
to fill the needs. On the reports
of the probable acreage to be
sown next fall in these counties
it is estimated that not less than
2, 500, 600 bushels must be brot
in from other parts of the state.
This is a much smaller amount
than was expected. AS a matter
of fact, the importations will be
considerable more than this as
much of the wheat which will be
harvested will not be used for

A Daylight Steal

Wednesday afternoon, while
passing the Schumacher resi-
dence, M. F. Martin noticed that
a man who appeared to be a
stranger, entered it. Knowing
that the family were not at home
and also observing that the man
remained in the house some little
time, Mr.. Martin became sus.
picious and stopped to see what
was detaining him. The eintrud
er showed signs of fight, but his
bluff availed him nothing, and
IN company with Mr.. Martin,
was soon moving in the direction
of the law" When questioned
by the Sheriff he said his name
was Gaylen Krewson, and that
his home was in Cincinnati, Iowa
and that he would soon be twenty
years old. When searched two
rings, watch, watch-fob, and
$2.0 were found; The rings he
said he drew on a punch board
and that his mother had given
him the watch. He was locked
up in jail and the incident was
closed for the day,
Bright and early the next
morning F. W. Curl appeared at
the County Attorneys Office and
stated that two of his wlfe's dia.
mond rings and a gold watch
we're missing. Then it was that
the truth the punch board"
rings came out. The Sheriff
was called and presented the ar
ticles taken from the man in Jail.
Mr.. Curl identified the rings,
and the watch, in all valued at
$400. About thattime Mr.. Sch
ubnacher appeared and identi-
ed the fob, V
Later KrVwson admitted the
theft and stated that he had TAX
en- the So OS out of a Red Cross
box at the Curl home. He will
be sentenced TO the State Re.
formatory. A dis honorable dis
charge from the army was also
found.
| Mr.. Martin is entitled to no
little amount of credit for the
part he played in the affair, for
had it not been for him, there is
little cha nee thatthe stolen prop
erty would have been recovered.

into the regulars or the National
Guard or into the reserve after full
war strength is reached. 1t is regard
ed as likely that the mobilization reg
ulations soon to be issued will show
that the surplus of drafted men is to
be used as a recruit reservoir and
that all the men will be put under
training as quickly as possible.
RECRUIT DEPOT
A recruit depot will be esta blishe cd
in France from which regiments at
the front will be kept filled up, drafts
of men from the main recruit depot
in this country being sent over TO
this distribution center as needed. In
the same way, sick or wounded men
Will be returned to the front when
recovered and a steady flow of re
cruits to maintain active regiments at
top fighting efficiency will be pro-
vided in this way.
The only hint of the proba BILE meth
Cd Of mobilization of drafted men lies
in a recent ruling by General Crowder
which shows that the adjutant general
may summon the quotas of the dis
tricts in increments. Division of each
quota into five equal parts is sug
gested, each part to be called up sep
arately as needed
Under this arrangement it would be
possible to call out at once the men
to form the new national army, and
to. summon later those who are to
compose the reserves for all elements
of the army. Men temporarily needed
in harvest fields or elsewhere could
be classified by local boards into these
later increments to meet emergency
situations in their districts without de-
laying organizat ton of new forces.
