WILL live IN THE WEST
ARTHUR L. ROBERTS, WHO HAS
INTEREST IN SAULPAUGH
Resigns Position As Genera
Manager Of the KahIer Cor.
poration, Rochester

Arthur l.. Roberts. general manager
of the Kahler- Roberts corporation
this monning rendered his resignation
to ]. II. Kahler, president of the same
organization, to take effect on July
says The Rochester Post and Record
This will come as surprise to his
many friends and CO workers in Ro-
chester.
Mr.. Roberts in an interview today
stated:
"My intentions are to spend sew
eral months with Mrs. Roberts in
Southern California, where she was
much benefited by her stay during
the past winter. 1t is probable that
| shall locate in that state in the
tourist hotel business. Interests re-
Gently acquired in Mankato will be
handled by T. j. Karp.
"While / regret leaving the biggest
little city in the world and believe
that Rochester has commanding fu-
ture, conditions make me feel thai
my interests are elsewhere"
Mr.. Roberts came to Rochester In
1902, and with the exception of ono
year spent in the west, has been here
continuously since. He started as
clerk at the Cook hotel under ]. H
Kahler, at that time landlord. In 1907
he entered the Kahler hotel on Second
avenue SW, as manager, which posi-
tion he held until May of 1917, wheT
he was elected general manager of the
Kahler- Roberts corporation. Mr.. Rob.
erts will still retain large interests In
the corporation and also in numerous
other local enterprises.
Known AS Live Wire.
Mr.. Roberts is known among pro.
gressive business men as olive
wire" He has at all times had the
interests of the community at hear
as can perhaps be best pointed out by
the magnificent work he did in the
various drives in the interests of pa
triotism. notably the Red Cross drive
for membership, the United Wal
Work, and the various Liberty ant
Victory loan drives. He was one O.
the commanding spirits in the Col
club, which, largely t ohis foresight
will in the near future, have one o.
the best links in Southern Minnesota
with commodious club house and 9th
er converiences which will make i
exceptionally attractive.
AS stated, he will not leave Roches
ter until after July first. That he ant
his estimable wife are to depart fol
other fields of endeavor is a matter O.
sincere regret to the scores who have
come to know them in social way
Those who have been associated witt
Mr. Roberts in a business way, or iI
loyalty moves, will feel that Rochester
is irdeed a loser by the decision
reached at this time by this energet
ic community building citizen.

INTEREST n! HOlsTE|NS
Cat,lemen Are Looking Over
Purebreds AT the Kato
Fair Grounds

Much interest is being shown in
the purebred Holsteins which are ar
irving at the fair grounds. The ship
ment from Chippewa Falls, Wis, ar
rived last night and the remainder OF
the lot is expected today.
The committee states that in some
of the sales attended heifer calves
few weeks old sold for one half
to two thirds Of the price of mature
cows. This indicates what the estab-
lishment of purebred stock, in this
section will mean in, bringing money
and buyers into this country. AS there
may be some who doubt the ability
of purebred Holsteins to pay their
way a communication recently re-
ceived by the secretary of the local
Holstein club is of interest. This is
from Farley Roby of Metropolis, ILL.,.
stating that his pufeIsred Holstein
cow Jennie Lyons DsKol produced in
ninety days 1922 pints of milk which
was sold for total of 1926. "a. The
! cost of feed for ninety days was
$76. 80 leaving net profit from her
milk of $219.74, AS the milk was
retailed in this crse this is higher
| return than the same cow would have
brought under ,er ordinary circum
stances. However, at ordinary market
prices she would still have yielded
a very good profit. -
With the present rapid growth in
interest in purebred livestock. Blue
| Earth county is very soon going tC
be one of the leading livestock cen
ters of Minnesota.

Baseball Battle Will Be Pulled OF
Next SUNDAY.


st. Peter, May 23.-There has been
a rival among the base ball fans of
st. Peter and Fat" Harris, manager
pro tenn, has corralled nine of the old
guards recently returned from over
seas and elsewhere, and will stage
his first match at the driving park,
Sunday afternoon. A team from
Mankato will form the negative side
Of the game, which is called at 2:30
p. m. The probable lineup as now
designated by Captain Lynn McGrath,

Miller, pitcher; H. Guertin, third
base; F. Wolfe, second base;
Schwartz, first base; Schwartz, right
field; R. Wolfe, center field; l.. Guer-
tin. left field; Tony Link, shortstop.
Miller, the pitcher made quite rec

notched him still higher. At any rate,
the fans look forward to good game
