came interested in airships as well
as automobiles, moving to Topeka,
little more than a year ago. He
got financial assistance and in the
capital city, quietly, without osten-
tation, and without the knowledge of
friends, in an upstairs room he be-
gan the construction of an air ship.
His idea was to make bigger and
better biplane than he had ever seen.
He brought to his command all his
inventive genius and for months la
bored upon his airship. Finally 1t
was completed and ready to fly.
But who would fly it? The nearest
Mr.. Longren was to flying lay in
driving an auto beyond the speed
limit. But he had ambition backed by
courage and he quietly loaded his
biplane upon a wogon and houled
it to an open field or meadow south
of Topeka. For several days he ex
perimented, first running the ma
chine at high speed upon the ground,
then lifting it off the earth for a
short distance, then finally making
a short circle of the field. After a
few days experimenting, when he
thought he had sufficient control
Of his machine much to the sur
prise of the people of Topeka, one
morning they heard and saw an air.
ship sailing complacently above the
capital city, without any previous
announcement. 1t was Mr.. Longren
giving free exhibition with his
bipIane. He circled the dome OF
the state capital and returned to his
experiment station south of Topeka.
The people of Republic county who
attended the county fair had the
privilege Of seeing Mr.. Longren fly
the machine which he built in To-
peka little more than year ago.

CORN YIELD MUST INCREASE.
Rock Island Aggie Commissioners
breaches Sermon in West.

The yield of corn per acre must
be increased or the ownership OF
farms will pass to wealthy corpor-
ations, says Professor H. M. Cottrell,
agricultural commissioner of the
Rock Island lines, in an editorial In
the Southwest Trail for September.
Only corporations will be able to
work land on low returns, he thinks.
He points out that, while land In
corn states has been increasing rap
idly in selling values, the productive
ity Of much of 1t has been decreas-
ing rapidly. The result is that high
priced land in the most fertile parts
of the west is barely giving a net
annual return of 4 per cent.

AUTO POLO THIS MONTH.
First Exhibition Of This Sport in
Central Kansas.

The date for the game of auto
polo in SaIina has been set. 1t

mobiles instead Of horses are used.
The machipes have to make thrilling
dashes and lightning turns and
curves SO the men inside can get a
chance at the ball. A very large
field will be necessary to play the
game.
It has been decided to stage
game at Junction City on Sunday,
september 20. Horse polo is played
q great deal by the officers at Fort
Riley and they have asked for q
game Of automobile polo. The same
cars used at salina will be entered
in the game at junction City.

PLANTED TO
WHEAT INCREASED.
Bumper Crop Leads Farmers ia
Plant Early.

Many farmers are now busily en-
gagged in planting their 1913 crop
of wheat. The local implement deal
ers say that the sale of drills this
year far exceeds the output In for
mer years. The international Har-
vester company has shipped over 600
drills to the counties west Of here
this season.
Dickinson county, as whole, and
certain sections of the county in
particular Will increase the acreage
OF wheat for the 1918 harvest by
from one-quarter to one-third. The
bumper crop of this year and the
fact that the price has been fairly
good and that 1t probably is as safe
and sure a crop as the Dickinson
county farmer can plant, Is given
as the reason for the increased
acreage. The. farmers of this county
made good money on their wheat
crop this year and with as staple
crop as this there 10 no, reason
why they should not try and repeat
next year. A very few have already
sown, and practically all the land
that Is to be sown to this cereal has
been titled, and the next few days
will see 1t all in the ground.
