The police also say that the miss

jaunts here.
II was for this reason that the
search was centered in Seattle.
Trains. and steamship lines were
also being watched and all cities in

the lookout for De Jacoby.

affair. still maintains that her hus.

Iobred Wheat Is Again
Ready for Distribution

Iobred wheat is again ready for dis
tribution in lots of sufficient size to
seed one acre in comparison with some
homegrown variety. This wheat is
being distributed by the Iowa Agricul-
tural Experiment association this year
for charge of $3.50 for IL bushels.
Reports received from a number Of
those receiving this wheat last fall in
dictate that 1t came through the win
ter In fine shape in all parts of the
state. Its record at the experiment
station during the past several years
would indicate that it is an unusually
hardy strain as well as good yielder.
Iobred is variety which can quite
readily be distinguished from other
varieties as it has very plump berry
and also very distinct bronze-col-
ored chaff which makes it rather dis
tinct from the average variety Of win
ter wheat.
Those interested in securing enough
of this seed to try one acre Of it should
write to the Iowa Agricultural Expert
'ment association. Ames, Iowa, sending
$3.50 to cover cost of seed before the
limited supply is exhausted. It is now
ready for distribution.
