Kansas Has Possibilities for
Power Production.
Fuel Consumption Figures
Compiled for State.

Kansas depends largely on her min
eral resources for power production,
standing fourth in thepsuse of Pc
troleum and derivitives, seventh in the
use of natural gas and fifteenth in the
use of coal. according to the report
of w. B. Heroy, of the division of
power resources of the United States
geological survey. Water power de-

oped water powers
Gives Power Figures.
Heroy's report covers the produc-
ton of electric power generated dur
ing the month of February for the
entire United States and gives these
significant returns for Kansas: Power
output by water power 1861 900 kilo-
watt hours; power output by fuels,
29.203,000 kilowatt hours. The fuel
consumption to generate electric power
required 46,9S7 tons of coal, 4O,543
barrels of petroleum and derivitives
and 67,937,000 cubic feet of natural
gas.
The surveys report shows that the
total output of electric power during
the month of February for the entire
United States was 3,1O0,O 900, 900 kilo-
watt hours, of which 40 per cent was
produced by water power and 60 per

DOCTOR RIDES IN AIR
He Comes From Nebraska in Plane
To Visit Kansas Patient.

Eldorado, Kan, May 31.-W. D.
Sidey formerly of Eldorado, but who
has been working near Herndon, De-
catur county, for the past few weeks,
helping drill an oil well and who was
seriously injured by a spudding shoe
striking him in the head, is probably
the first Kansas man to be attended
by a physician who made the trip to
his bedside in an airplane.
At the time Sidey was injured the
closest physician was at Beaver City,
Neb.. eighty miles away. He was i'm
mediately informed of the mans con-
dition and made the cah to Herndon
in his machine, a distance of eighty
miles. in fifty minutes. Upon arriving
in Herndon he found Sidey had a
crushed skull and that part of the
bone was sticking in his brain. He
operated on him at once in the small
hotel in Herndon without any accom-
moda lions and with no assistance.
In the operation 1t was found neces-
sary to insert a silver plate in Sidey's
skull.

so YEARS IN BUSINESS
Oscar Krauss Started Activities In
Topeka June 1, 1869.

A long stretch of fifty years in which
he has been in business on Kansas
avenue will close for Oscar Krauss,
of the firm of o. Krauss & Sons, 224-
222 Kansas avenue. on June 1, 1919.
In 1869 on June the firm Of Bisch-
off and Krauss was established. The
two men came to Topeka from Hamil-
ton, Ohio. They located on the site
now occupied by the south twenty
five feet of Crosby Brothers store.
Their store was the last firm on
Kansas avenue at that time. No other
stores were any farther south. The
business blocks running on south have
all been built up since that day in
1869. The firm of Bischoff and krausS
was dissolved in 1881.
Krauss went to North Topeka and
built another building at 531-553
North Kansas. He then set up his
business on this site. A few years
later he erected another building at
the present location, 224-222 Kansas
avenue, on the south side of river
again His business house has re-
manned located on the south side of
the river since that time. His building
projects have consisted of the erection
of four business Establishments and
two dwelling houses.
On February 1, 1901, Krauss took
George Krauss, into the firm and the
name of the establishment was
changed to o. Krauss & Sons. They
are dealers in wholesale leather, find
ings. shoe store supplies. harm ess and
saddlery hardware.
Oscar Krauss was born August 10.
1S47, at Rodach by Coburg, Germany.
He attended the University of Coburg.
Krauss was like many other young
Germans who could not reconcile
themselves to the restrictions and i'm
positions of the German government.
He left Germany when he was II years
old for the same reason other young
men left, to escape the forced mill
tary service in the armies of the
Kaiser.
He arrived in New York in the sum-
mer of 1865. Later, in 1869, he ar
rived in Topeka. where he has re-
manned ever since. In 1893 and 1894
Krauss was a Democratic member OF
the board of metropolitan police COM

G. A. R. GAVE UP PROGRAM
Old Veterans Turned Memorial Day
Over to Young Heroes.

The memorial services of the C. A.
F. scheduled to have been held at
the auditorium Friday evening were
called off. After spending the day
waiting for the 353rd infantry and
welcoming the famous "all-Ka nsas''
regiment when it arrived. the veterans
considered it best to call it a day
and cancel the ceremonies at the au-
ditorium. The suggestion that the
meeting be Cancelled was made by
Gen. Clarendon E. Adams, of Omaha,
Communicated chief of the G. A r.,
who had come here to deliver the
principal address
The most impressive scenes of the
day were those of mutual respect and
honor accorded each other by the
veterans of the Civil and world wars.
The former seemed to enjoy them
selves immensely and were thoroly
tired out, so that none seemed to re-
greet that the auditorium meeting had
been called off. General Adams seemed
nightly pleased with Topeka and told
the local G. A. r. veterans they were
the ost congenial bunch he had ever
seen.

WOMEN WORKERS

In almost every line of war activities
the women of this country have done
well and have taken front rank for
doing work that released thousands of
men for service overseas. Some wo-
men have been over-ambitious. and,
at the expense of their health. have
filled places once occupied by men.
Every woman who. because of over
work. has brought on some ailment
peculiar to her sex, should depend
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to restore her health and
strength. as this remedy is now recog-
nized as the standard and has restored
multitudes.-Adv.

100000 Garden School Students
in This District.
Kansas Is in the Southwestern
States Division.

Washington. May 31.-An increase
of so per cent in the 1919 enlistment
in the southwestern states division of
the United States school garden army
is recorded. as the states comprised
in the southwestern division, includ
ing Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky,
Kansas. Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkan-
sas, louisiana Texas and New Mex
leo, report 100000 enlistments. Not
only is there a huge increase in the
enrolment, but the school and home
gardens of the young gardeners of
the L. S. S. G. army promise to double
in value when harvested this summer
and fall.
Each of the ten states included in
the southwestern states division has
subject in the curriculum of the
schools of the state. This has been
done by the formal action of the state
department of education. Most of the
larger cities and many of the smaller
ones have introduced gardening in the
fourth. fifth and sixth grades and are
giving credits for the work, just as is
done in other subjects.
Many Cities Have Courses.
The number of cities that have con-
Quoted gardening operations under
the plan outlined by the United States
school garden army is $40, and repre-
sents the largest number of cities do
ing garden work in any region in the
United States. All of the larger cities
have paid supervisors, and assistants,
and in instances where the finances of
the city boards of education have not
permitted of an appropriation, many
teachers have volunteered to super
wise the work.
A large percentage of the popula-
ton of the southwestern states is rural
and not reached by the school garden
army activities, but practically all
towns with a population in excess of
$500 have taken an interest in the
plans of the garden army.
1911 Enrolled in Kansas.
Arkansas has an enrolment of
1896 students in the army today and
has $40 teachers and supervisors in
the work. Kansas has 1871 enrolled
with S44 supervisors. Louisiana.
which is a distinctly agricultural state.
has an enrolment of 4O,512 garden
workers and S63 supervisors. The re-
turns from Missouri are not yet COM
plete but to date the state has 1920

Tennessee and Kentucky are the most
eastern states in this section and they

den work started but at present Ken
lucky has some $4,000 young gar
deners. Tennessee about $4,000 and
both of these states will 'Je making

K. C. TEACHERS GET RAISE
Topekans Point Out That All Other
Cities Are Giving Increases.

The day is drawing near when the
teachers of the Topeka schools and
the board of education will have their
little fracas regarding salaries. The
teachers are insistent in their state
ment that they are greatly underpaid.
and all they ask is to receive a little
more in accord with the important
work they are doing.
Emporia, Atchison and Wichita
have recently raised salaries for the
next year, and the teachers in those
cities are all a great deal higher paid
than those in Topeka. Kansas City.
Mo, this week has announced a sub
stdrt1al raise. The local educators
point out that cities all over the coun-
try are beginning to appreciate the
value of their work, and are meeting
the demands generously.
The next meeting of the school
board will be held early in June, and
this question will probably be taken
up at this time.
