MOTOR CAR IS BUSY.
Large Crowd Comes to Topeka Again
Today.

The motor car service between To-
peka and Emporia is growing in pop
ularity as is evidenced by the in
creasing patronage which the car is
receiving. This morning trip from
Emporia handled crowds that were
larger by twenty per cent than those
of the initial trip the day previous.
There were several passengers from
Emporia this morning. Larger crowds
were also brought from Burlingame
and Usage City.
The first trip from Topeka to EN-
poria last night showed patronage far
beyond expectations. The car was
literally packed. Passengers were
standing up. Towards the latter part
of the week. when the shopping sea-
son reaches its height, the popularity
of the car will be shown, in better
proportions than it rs at present. =

plant April Dist of this year. and work began on it's erection about ten days later. The power plant was finished in time to be used in pumping water Tor this year crop, and was run during all oi the pumping season. The mil was finished September 18th, and be- gan operations about four weeks ago. It Is estimated that with the supply of rough rice now in sight in the ter ritory tributary to the plant this years crop will be cleaned up about January lSt.
 The acreage of the territory tribu- tary to this plant actually planted in rice this year is about four thousand. twenty-five hundred acres of which are in this county. The acreage, how ever, IS expected to be doubled next year In fact, some of the more op- timistlc ones claim that it will be trebled, thus giving the plant a much longer run next season
 On the trip the writer had the pleasure to meet MT. ]. F. Watwood. of the Wheatley Realty Company. who is largely interested in this industry Mir. Watwood had charge of rice ex- hibit at the recent Tri-State Fair at Memphis. His exhibit consisted of a complete shock of rice from the fields and display of the finished product both taken from the rice fields ad ia. cent to Wheatley. Both exhibits took first prize blue ribbons. which are or display in the gentleman $ office. and of which he is justly proud.
 This industry has srevolutiouized the industrial conditions of the inhabi- tantS of the prairie land west of this city. and has caused q decided increase in the valuation of the lands Each year since its inauguration las seen a marked increase in the acreage. and next year promises to be no different
