iujr Crapo of Longford It Started to
Hospital Too Late.
The life story of a promising young
Man reached its ending yesterday
when Guy Crapo, twenty-two years
old, died from the effect of an epllep
, 'tic fit in the automobile which was
bringing him from Longford to Abi
lene, where he was to have been put
aboard the noon train and sent to a
hospital for treatment. A younger
brother, ArdlneCrapo,, t)r. Jackson
of Longford and. two friends were
with the young man when he died.
Up to a little over a year ago Guy
Crapo worked at a sawmill near Rut
land, Vermont. While working near
the machinery one day he was caught
in a belt and thrown 36 or 40 feet,
lighting on his head. Medical aid was
summoned and an examination made,
but no injury of a serious nature
cauld be detected. 1 ( v ( ,.
. A little later young Crapo develop
ed symptoms of eplilepsy, but he grew
better, and won Beemed to have re-,
covered completely.. On the advice
of his physician -he came west, accom
panied by bis brother, Archie. The
brothers bought land in Texas. About
a year ago they came to Miltonvale,
. Kansas, and shortly afterwards they
found employment on a farm north
of Longford, where they have, been j

It has long been known that there
is gas in the vicinity of Herington
It has made Its appearance freaucntly
above ground In various places In
that town, and not long ago the may
or found some with the aid of
Vghte match In an empty oil tank
but that Is another story.
This time, however, members of
the Commercial (flub believto Ithey
is re on the trail of the real under
rrmind variety, and Prof. Haworth,
the state geologist, who has made
-an Investigation rather encourages
them in the belief. In a letter to
Secretary P. K. Emith, he' says In
rart:
In the oil and gas fields in toutN
Hf stern Kansas the rock strata are
almost level, dipping gently to the
west and having slight anticlines in
them. The oil and gas occurs in the
rocks of the coal measure age. The
indications near Herington are simi
lar in many respects.
.' Believing as I do so strongly In
the advantage of an anticlinal ridge,
An office constructed to as to give
a view of the first and second floors
of a building. ', 1 ':i
That IS the Idea C. W. Parker It
carrying out In hit new factory. The
office will occupy a floor tpaoe of
twenty-five by seventy-five feet In
the southwest corner of the building,
three and one-half feet below the
level of the second floor. It will
be so arranged that Mr. Parker can
see from hit office just what the
men are doing on the first and second
floors.-, ' ' : ' '' ' ', i
All of Mr. Parker's business will
be' conducted from ,the Leavenworth
offices, the managing of the shows,
the wholesale business and all the
business connected with the home
factory. Mr. Parker's desk will oc
cupy the extreme west portion of the
office. -.The reception room will
measure twenty-five by twenty-five
feet,. According .to Mr. Parker he
does not care for so much room for
hiniself but wants the office force
have plenty of space and also
enough light to work with.
The usual large force of men are
working on the forms, for the whole
of the first floor.'' They will be com
pleted in ten days time.' The prlncl
pie work at present is on the side
tracks and the erection of a new
building Just east of the main build
ing for the storing of the carnival
supplies. The foundation ifor the
structure, has been completed. It
wilt be a one story corrugated steel
structure with a sixty by, eighty feet
floor space.
Laying the steel rails In the con
crete of the first floor, which will
connect with the railroad switches is
completed. Three large, cars can be
run In the building at one time. 'I lie
large elevator Is next to the snitch
tracks so that the contents of the cars
can be unloaded on It. -
The forms were taken off the con
crete work of the basement Satur
day. All the concrete was found tJ
be in good condition. As soon as
the glass arrives the basement will
be enclosed.
"A month ago we began the work
on the factory," Mr. Parker said yes
terday. "I am surprised at the amount
of work we have done. I expect to
vave all tl e concrete poured for the
first and second floor by the first of
December. Then I am afraid the
work will lag for a time as the forms
cannot be pulled off the concrete until
the first of February. If good wea
ther continues the forms can be re
moved sooner.
It may seem to some when they
see how I have arranged the position
of 'my office that I do not trust my
workmen. I do and I would,' not
hire a man If I did not think when
first saw him that I could trust
him. My object is to have it arranged
so that I can tee what Is going on
from my office. I am Interested In
the work and like to tee how It Is
done. Merely a matter for my own
convenience."

But Ton Crop Is Cood for All That,
gay tlte Farmers. -
The dry fair weather of the last
two months may be responsible fir
a good corn crop, the means by which
the builders and paving contractors
have done to
and best of all for the healthy condi
tion of the people.
All these things can be credited to
the weather but there la a large group
of men wbo are ready for Just a little
damp weather. , They .are the corn
h ushers. Cornhuskert are the men
of the hour at this time of the season.
The corn crop brings as much money
Into rtrenlatlon a-any other raw pro
dnct of .the country. Aifd" lf It was
not for the cornhuskers the crop
would nerer get on the market.
But they complain.'' The quality
of corn la good. Urge c-op is rejort
ed and the weather-It fine for the
work of husking corn but they tay
the com it too dry. Much tine It
lost to getting the eorn toot from

' "Dickinson county bat an excep

"We need a little moisture. Then
with this frosty weather and the good
corn we ran get our corn out of the
fields and to market like we should.
"A number of the 'farmers are
complaining about low pricet. . We
are getting from 40 to 45 cents a
bushel for oar com. If thtt Is t
good prlft why do the farmers bold
their corn? - . ?: -

Then the farmers n3t-remember
that they bare not bad to pay any
taxes bt their corn .ye.tv , Certainly
after the Use t are paid .the pr.'ce of.
corn will go tp. j
