Trial of Kanred
Wheat Is Urged

Brookings, Aug. GA dozen or so
inquiries regarding Kanred wheat
have been received by Manley
Champlin, extension agronomist at
State college, but SO far not enough
interest has been manifested to war
rant ordering a carload.
1t was hoped that enough farmers
in this state' would try out from five
to 10 bushels each to make up a car
load shipment to Mitchell, but If that
is to be done it will be necessary to
act very quickly.
Local shipments will not be as sat
isfactory as a corload would have
been, but few paintings will be bet
ter than none.
1t is hoped that at least few will
try out a five or 10 acre plot of Kan
red. 1t is rust resistant, does not
lodge easily, produces well and so fan
during the past three years has
proved hardy in South Dakota.
Inquiries regarding Kanred should
be directed to the extension agrono
mist, State college, Brookings.

FORMER MADISON
R. R. MAN DIES
JAS. J. WRIGHT PASSES AWAY IN
Ids ANGELES, CAL.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 6.-Many friends
in Sioux Falls of Joe j. Wright, for
many years a Milwaukee railroad
conductor running out of this city,
will learn with regret of his passing
at Los Angeles in June. Word of the
demise just reached Sioux Falls
Tuesday.
Mr.. Wright with his family left
Sioux Falls about IL years ago and
went to Mexico. He was through
many of the tumultous scenes of the
revolutionary periods in that repub-
lie and remained until about three
years ago when rebels dynamited his
train, killing his engineer. He went
TO Los Angeles to make his home.
Last June Mr.. Wright was about
to step on board a train for Portland,
Ore, to join the Shriners, when he
was stricken with heart failure and
passed away a half hour later. His
daughter, Mrs. Ashley, of Portland
who has been in Los Angeles attend
ing to his affairs, writes Sioux Falls

Mr.. Wright was man of about 7C
years of age.

REV. OLSON DIES
At RAPID CITY
PASTOR OF MADISON'S METHO-
DIST CHURCH SUCCUMBS FROM
SERIOUS OPERATION.

TNn members of the local Metho-
dist congregation were astoundingly
shocked this morning when a tele-
gram from Rapid City announced the
death there early today of Rev. A. l..
Olson, who with his family left by
auto only three weeks ago for a vaca-
tiOn drive through the Black Hills.
A day or two ago Mrs. Olson no
titled friends here that her husband
was then in a hospital ready to un~
dergO an operation, though no men
tiOn was made to the effect that it
might be a serious one. Since the
operation was performed all have
been hoping that Rev. Olson's cOndi-
ton might improve steadily The
message today telling of his death
has awakened sympathetic sorrow for
the wife and little daughter, who are
thus untimely deprived of the strong
protection and support that was al
ways generously theirs during the life
and activity of the devoted husband
and father
Rev. Olson came to Madison not
quite a year ago and he and his fam
lily have won their way into the
hearts of many people who are now
distressed that they are forced by
death to lose a pastor they greatly
admired. The deceased minister was
formerly in charge of the work at the
point where his demise so suddenly
occurred.
The funeral services are TO be held
in the Methodist church next Mon
day, at which time DR.. j. p Jenkins
now located at Mitchell, will be pres
ent to deliver the sermon for his for
mer friend and co-laborer in the
Masters work The hour for the
service has not yet been arranged
and it is not known as yet where the
remains are to be buried.

n T " YORK
DEMOCRATS WET
MOIST PLANK INSERTED IN
THE PLATFORM.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. g.
A ticket of state officers suggested"
for the guidance of the electors was
agreed upon by party leaders at the
final session of the unofficial demo
cratic state convention here today.
Among the candidates suggested
was Gov. Alfred E. Smith for renomi-
nation.
The only serious objection to the
program prepared by the leaders OF
Tammany Hall and the upstate Or
ganization came from Mayor G. r
Lunn. of Schnectady, candidate fol
senator, who left the convention be-
fore it had finished it's business. I'm
daunted by his defeat last night wher
the convention voted, 434 to 16
against his motion that no suggestion
of candidates be permitted, he sough
vainly to eliminate from the platform
plank declaring for modification o
the Volstead prohibition enforcement
act which would permit traffic fl
beer of 2.75 per cent alcoholic con
tent. The vote was 406 to "a agains
the proposal.

S. ID. Republicans
Meet Monday

Mitchell, Aug. 6.-South Dakota
republicans will form plans for the
coming fall campaign at meeting to
be held at Huron next Monday. w.
H. King, state republican chairman,
issued a call today to all the county
chairmen in the state and all the
state committeeman to meet at Hur-
on on that day Mr.. King declared
he had nothing further to say to the
petition of Lewis Benson, former
speaker of the house, that he resign
from the office of state chairman
and declared that the matter would
not come up at the Huron nesting
He asserted that he was confident ne
could bring about harmony in the
state and easily elect the entire state
republican ticket as well as put South
Dakota solidly into the national re-
publican ranks.

ton in calling the roll of counties for
an expression of sentiment against
candidates, on the ground such action
violated the spirit of the direct pTi-
mary law. He was supported by
Thomas F. Rogers, who charged that
the ticket that would be presented
had meen hand picked" The con-
vention plainly showed it's hostility to
their arguments and when Schnec-
tady was reached on the roll call of
the counties there was no response,
as Mayor Lunn and his colleagues
had left.
The platform adopted today does
not mention the league of nations
although there was a blanket in
dorsement of the platform adopted by
the national convention at San Fran
cisco which contains a plank declar-
ing for the league favored by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Besides favoring a mod fication OF
the Volstead act the platform recon-
mended recognition without inter
vention in all cases where the peoples
of a nation, as in ireland, have by
free vote of the people set up a re-
public" 1t indorsed the Wilson and
Smith administrations.

Travellers Must Make
Up Increased Rate

Washington, Aug. G. Return
tickets and mileage books bought be-
fore higher railroad fares become ef-
fective will not be valid when the
new schedules go into effect, 1t was
said today at the interstate COM
merce commission.
How the commission will handle
the problem of tickets purchased be-
fore the new fares are made opera
tive for use after their effective date,
is being worked out, it is said.
1t is expected that an order will
be issued permitting the roads to re-
fund the amount paid for return cou-
pons or unused mileage and commu-
tation books, or that passengers will
be allowed to use them on payment
of the additional charges.

the two interests have not come to an
agreement as yet, and in the Rosebud
country, after joint meeting, the
farmers announced flatly that they
would not accept the threshers' rate,
but would take their time and do
their threshing with their own ma
chimes.
Up to the present the situation is
at a standstill unless it is in the Or
dering of new machines by the farm
ers.

wounds in the right shoulder re-
ceived at an early hour this morning

Young Pearson with another COM
panion from Michigan arrived at
Canton Tuesday and not finding any
work in that vicinity got as far as
Harrisburg where they secured work
with farmer a few miles in the
country. They went back to Canton
yesterday for their baggage and re
turned to Harrisburg on the late

about IL o'clock. The two young

before going to their place of en-
ployment. Seeing a box car with the
| door open on a side tarck in front
of the bank building the two young
| men crawled into the car and dis
| covered that it was partially loaded
with sand or gravel. After burying 6
their pocketbooks in the gravel they
went to sleep.
1t was about 2 o'clock when the
two youths were awakened by a
flashlight in their faces. Pearson got
up from the bed of sand to investi-
gate and was tackled by some one
| in the dark. His companion was also
soon engaged in struggle with a
stranger being beaten over the head
with a gun or club. Finally -four
pistol shots rang out. Two were
fired into the body of Pearson when
