KANSAS CROP GAINING
From Saturdays Daily.
Wheat Yield In State ls Showing
Great Increase.


topeka, Kan, May 22.-(By The
Associated Pressl-Kansas, wheat
crop Is staging a phenomenal come
back according to reports of agricul-
tural bureaus, both state and federal
Revived by an abundance of rains af-
ter the driest winter ever recorded in
the states great central wheat belt,
wheat is now declared to be In ex-
cellent condition in nearly all parts
of tfN state. Based on conditions on
May 1, the Kansas agent of the Uni
ted States department of agriculture
recently estimated the crop this year
will be 92,082,000 bushels. Last year
kansas produced approximately $780,
600, 900 bushels.
The present prospect, in relation to
the national output, is that Kansas
will produce 1872 per cent of the
country's crop of winter wheat, as
compared with 3O.6 per cent last
year. The unfavorable winter season
took heavy toll on the acreage of
9,193 900 planted last fall. The feder-
al report says sixteen per cent has
been abandoned, leaving a present
acreage OF 7,725,000. In some coun-
tries, ordinarily among the most
heavy wheat producers, the abandon
ment exceeds half the number of the
acres planted. q
The report stated that asa rule
farmers took little chance of having
to harvest a thin crop. because of the
scarcity and high price of labor and
thresh1ng. A convention Of farmers
recently set seventy cents an hour as
fair wage for harvest labor. The
harvest this year will start late in
June in the extreme southern coun-
tries.

Frcm Saturdays Daily.
The Two Publications At Springfield
Will Be Combined.


Will BE Combined.
Although not announced merger
of The Springfield Free Press and
The Springfield Advance has been
effected during the past week, says
The New Ulm Journal. Attorney
August G. Erickson of The Free
Press made overtures to William f.
Mailer, owner of the Advance, for its
purchase and arrangements for the
consolidation were perfected in a
short time to become effective June
Editor Mailer has been at the
helm of The Advance for eighteen
years, while Attorney Erickson OF
The Free Press is later entry into
the newspaper field in that village.
Mr.. Mailer has desired to dispose
of The Advance for some time and
Mr.. Erickson considered a merger of
the two papers would be more sat-
isfactory than to continue competi-
ton in so limited field.
It is understood that the merger
will be incorporated and that the two
principal spirits will be Mr.. Erick-
son and Fremont Schmidt, who has
been associated with him in the
publication of The Free Press for the
past year. 1t is also proposed to in
terest the business men by having
them subscribe for a block of stock.
Mr. N 'hler has no definite plans,
but expects to take a well-earned
rest. He will tour the state via the
auto route with his family during
the summer.

NABBED TWO SUSPECTS
POLICE AT PETER MADE
HAUL IN THE NIGHT
MEN TAKEN IN CUSTODY
Auto Theft May Be the Charge;
Other Man Was Found In
Garage
xMHK
From Mondays Daily.


Especial to the Free Press.1 .
st. Peter, Mimi. May 24-.Two
Inspected automobile thieves were
arrested in st. Peter Saturday night
by Officer William Wakefield. One
of the men IS alleged to have made
an attempt to steal a new Oakland
Six at the Garage of ]. N. Dondeling-
er, and the other was arrested while
passing through the city from ST.
Paul.
The st. Paul man stopped at the
Dondelinger garage about nine a. m.
having run out of gas. He was broke
and was therefor turned down at
the filling station. He then ran the
car into the garage and borrowed
some money from the proprietor to
get back to St. Paul. During the
course of the evening Officer Wake
field noticed the strange car, and
made inquiries concerning the driver.
on the car, a Dodge, had been re-
moved, and that only one license re-
NAMED. At the garage, the man
gave his name as Ed. Smith. Later
the policeman found that he had gone
to the Nicollet Hotel and registered
as N. H. Mathewson. This was found
to be the name OF the man who own
ed the license on the car.
Was Placed Under Arrest.
Early yesterday morning, the man
was accosted by the policeman, and
asked if his name was Smith: He
stated yes, and when asked why he
had registered as Mathewson, he said
he did not know. Officer Wakefield
placed him under arrest,
and proceeded to question him fur
Their. The man said he was from South
Dakota at first, but later admitted he
was from st. Paul. He was then ask
ed whom could be called in that city
to identify him, but he would give no
names, nor allow the officer to get In
touch with his family which he said
lived there.
Sheriff Norman Left this morning to
endeavor to locate the true owner OF
the car who lives in st. Paul.
The other supsect is Earl MacWil-
liams, a former employe at the state
hospital, who was discharged and ar
rested a month ago for beating up an
inmate. Officer Wakefield saw the
man leave the hotel where he was
rooming, about four a. m. Saturday
morning, and mistrusting his actions,
he followed him to the Dondelinger
garage.
Pried Open Door.
MacWilliams walked to the rear OF
the garage and pried open one Of the
rear doors, gaining entrance. The
night officer, who carried the key To
the garage, entered the front way and
arrested the man as he attempted TO
start the car When searched, 1t was
found that the man had made key
which would open any of the doors
in the garage. The policeman had
seen the man hanging around the
garage for several days, and It was
the mans actions that aroused his
suspicion.
When questioned, MacWilliams
stated that his real name was George
Simerly, and that his home is in
Texas. He is an soldier, having
served in the aviation corps as dis
charge papers in his pockets signifed.
He is charged with an attempt to
steal an automobile and his hearing
will be held today.
Had it not been for the efficient
work of Officer Wakefield, both men
may have escaped.

German Officials From Poland Are In
Sore Plight.

Berlin, May 5.-[By The Associat-
ed Pressl-Twenty five thousand
German civilian functionaries who
occupied positions in Poland and have
been deprived of their posts owing
to transfers of territory, are in sore
plight. The government. which sud-
denly recalled them gave no thought,
apparently, to housing such a multi
tude with their wives and families,
assigning them to old concentration
camps. and barracks.
In these quarters, according to
statements made by some Of them
now in Berlin, they have to endure
all manner of hardships and discom-
forts, among the least of which is the
deprivation of their accustomed
household belongings.
The German Civil Servants Union
has taken the matter up on their be-
half 1t has memorialized the govern
ment, demanding a fullfillment of
earlier promises that evicted officials
should receive preferential treatment.
1t protests against what it terms
the base ingratitude now shown by
the Fatherland" to faithful servants
who have now been deprived of their
means of livelihood. t.F

YOUNG MAN 4SKIEtED
VICTIM OF LIGHTNING
Jerry Stevens Was Struck While
Working On Farm Near
Mapleton
From Mondays Daily.

Especial to The Free Press.1
Mapleton, May 22.-During the
storm Saturday afternoon, Jerry
Stevens, son of Mrs. Minnie Stevens
Of Sterling. was instantly killed by
tightening. The young man was
about twenty one years of age. He
was using the quack digger in the
field near the house when the storm
broke. The team was badly fright
ened and ran to the house. Mr.. Ste
vens' mother went to see why he did
not return with the team and found
his blackened scared body in the
rain where he had fallen. His clothes
were torn and his shoes were entire
ly removed from his feet. This Is
particularly sad because of the fact
that Jerry was the support of his
mother, taking complete charge Of
the farm since his fathers death,
three years ago in May. The family
have the sincere sympathy of the
whole community. Funeral services
were held today at two o'clock in
the Sterling church, Rev. v. N Rob-
