RAISING KANRAD WHEAT
|. p. McEIroy Refers To Success
He Has Had With Grain.

H. P. McElroy living in Mankato
township has been growing kanred
wheat, and this year thirteen acres
yielded 38 IL bushels to the acre.
Kanred wheat is the product of a
single head selected from the Grim
can variety, which was introduced
into the United States from Russia
in 1900 by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The selection
from which it descended was one of
554 head selections made in 1906
by Professor H. F. Roberts, of the
botany department of the Kansas
Agricultural Experimental Station.
In 1916. its rust resistance was
discovered and about the same time
it's greater winter hardness. 1t was
named kanred at the time its was
widely distributed by the Kansas
Agricultural Experimental Station
in the fall of 1917.
If this wheat is proven to be quite
rust resistent, and if it can stand
our severe winters, it would be a
very good wheat for this locality.

AUTO BANDITS AT LARGE
They Are Said To Have Been Act
i've In City of Rochester


They Are Said To Have Been Act
i've In City of Rochester
Rochester, August 5.-Auto band
its held up tourist car which was
turning into the road leading to the
Park Avenue pavilion, OF Second
Street SW, last evening, according
to a report telephoned into police
headquarters after ten O'Clock.
Three policemen were rushed to
the place where the robbery was
supposed to have taken place. but
were unable to find any trace Of the
transients who claimed to being
robbed. ....-
Riding on up the road to the
brightly lighted dance pavilion, they
found that the report of the robbery
had reached that place. Dance au-
thorities confirmed the report and
dancers seemed greatly agftated
about the affair. One party claimed
that their car had turned into the
Park Avenue road just after the
robbery had taken place and dis
covered the large car belonging to
the transients by the side Of the
claiming they had been robbed.
They gave the same story that had
been given to the police over the
telephone. A car containing three
or more men had barred their pas
sage into the Park Avenue road and
one man had leaped out threaten
ing them with a revolver. The other
two men with drawn guns searched
them and took a large sum of
money.
Today none Of these transients
showed UP at police headquarters to
report the robbery and so the affair
seems to be a mystery. Police state
there must be an element of truth
in it, but that, there is something
very suspicious in the action of the
transients.

ANDERSON HOME
 FIRE TOTAL LOSS

Fire at noon today destroyed q seven-room frame residence on the corner of Front and Mill streets, oc- cuped by Seaton F. Anderson and family, causing a loss estimated at about $5,000. The blaze is thought to have originated from flue near the center of the house and it spread so rapidly that by the time the fire department arrived practically the whole ton of the budding was m flames. Only a small part of the furniture in two front rooms was saved.
 The building, which was owned hv Frank F. Robins. was valued at about S2.o00 and was insured for q 800. The value of the contents was estimated h.- MT. Anderson at about s2.000 and only $500 insurance WIS carried.
 Mrs. Anderson and her daughter. Nrs Walter Brooks. were alone at the house and were working in the kitch en. They had left the room over which the fire started only a few minutes before, but when they return. ed to it, it was a mass of flames.
 Adjoining residences were seriously threatened with destruction by the flames, but good work by the fire department prevented further spread.

"PECK'S BAD BOY" GETS
 IRWIN COBR'S PRAISE

Irwin S. Cobb wrote the sub-titles for "Pecks Bad Boy" which will be shown at the White Grand tomorrow and Friday, and after viewing the pie ture, said the following about Jackie" Coogan, the boy actor who has the lead:
 Now that I have "fallen" for the movies, as my many friends have in timated, I personally verify their statements. I have fallen and fallen hard My first duty was of official caption writer for a picture featur- ing very little boy. Strictly speak ing, I didn't write the captions for "Peck's Bad Boy" (1921 modeD. They just naturally wrote themselves.
 We met-the "bad boy" and I. And we had some lunch. And we spent the whole afternoon together-Jackie Coogan and I. And then, stimulated by the contact with the wonderful six year-older, who is half a baby and half genius, and altogether a per feet gentleman, sat down and the lines came-such lines, fondly hope, as Jackie himself might speak.
 To be sure, Jackie has had the ad- vantage of serving his screen appren- ticeship under the greatest genius the talkless drama has yet provided Charles Chaplin-but I, with all re- gard for Mir. Chaplin's skill, neverthe- less decline to believe that he is all together responsible for his pupils marvellous artistry.
 I don't believe that anybody ever taught Jackie how to act. I am sure he was born with it-perhaps the kindly angels were his teachers. If they were, I'll say they did a good job.

JOHNSON CLUE BY

Unwilling to discard any clue in the search for Roy Johnson, wanted tor the murder of George w. Hop- klns and wife, Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers left early this morning to investigate a statement given him Tn an anonymous letter received last night, purporting to tell where Johnson might be found. The off cers said he had little confidence in the truth of the unsigned letter. but thought better to investigate, as there was possibility that some one who feared Johnson wanted him to be jailed might know his where abouts.
 The sheriff is preparing to have printed a quantity of circulars con- talnlng prison pictures taken of Johnson when he was a convict and an official description of him. The circulars will also state the amount of reward offered for his cabtuure. Only small sum, however, has as yet been subscribed on the list left at the Greeson Drug Companv's store

They miscued, however, and were in the rear of the procession when once the Normals opened up.
