TO BUILD AT 911.
Another South Kansas Avenue
Improvement Announced.
David Page Purchases the Neal
/ Feed Store Near Ninth.

David Page, Topeka miller and capi-
talist, has purchased the Neal Feed
store property at 911 Kansas avenue
and will erect modern new building
on the site. The present one-story
brick structure will be razed soon.
Plans for a new building-probably a
new mercantile house and offices
will be completed at an early date.
Page admitted today that he had
increased his already extensive hold
ings on South Kansas avenue and
planned another new building in the
district. He said it would tbe impos-
sible at this time to estimate probab Bile
cost of a building as no definite plan
had been seriously considered. He is
determined, however, to build on the
site at a very early date. 1t is likely,
tho, that the main floor of the struc-
ture will be constructed largely to
conform with lease plans with upper
floors devoted to offices.
The property recently acquired by
the well known Topeka capitalist has
25-foot frontage on. Kansas avenue
and extends so feet west to the alley
way at the rear of the Santa Fe gem
eral office. The location is two num-
bers south of the Mills building. Plans
were announced Friday for a three
story addition to this structure which
will materially increase, office space.
Page is one of the largest stockhold
which owns the present office build
ing and home of the Pelletier's Stores
company. Page also owns the Trefry
Motor company building, a three
story structure at 912-14 Kansas
avenue.
In the final financing of the new
100000 Hotel Kansan at Ninth and
Kansas avenue David Page was one of
the most active and influential char
acters. He is extensively interested in
the new hotel project in a financial
way and in the last few days again
demonstrated his faith in the future
development of the South Kansas ave-
nue. section thru purchase of the
property at Oil Kansas avenue.
Definite plans for the new Page
building will likely be announced in
the next week or ten days.
It is likely that the new Page build
ing will be erected while. the new

There is now another hero in
Topeka The name of the man, who
was responsible for the quick action
in gathering the reserve force of the
fire department Wednesday afternooa
when the Church of the Assumption
caught fire, was not learned until to-
day. He is E. E. Hickerson, colored
fireman at station No. 8.
A general alarm was turned in
Wednesday when the church fire was
reported but the forty reserve men
of the fire companies who were off
duty could not be located. Many OF
the men were at the Kansas Free
Fair grounds. but there was no ap-
parent way to locate them immediate-
ly. Hickerson was reached at the
grounds and told to notify the other
men. He rushed to the Bell loud
speaker and the fire was announced.
The majority of the firemen caught
the message and were busy fighting
fire in few minutes. The addition

possess a navy they control a swarm

MANY AUTOS VISIT FAIR
Total of $4,000 Cars Were In Topeka
on Thursday.

on thursday.
Some idea as to the number of
motor car. visits to the Kansas Free
Fair in Topeka is given in reports
filed with L. ]. Pettijohn. secretary of
state. Two inspectors for the auto
mobile department in the secretary of
states office reported $4,000 cars
were in Topeka Thursday.
Inspectors from the state depart
ment were investigating tag regis
trations- One car was rolaad which
carried a 1921 license tag. There was
a comparatively excessive number of
lost tag applications shown.
It is probably a safe guess that an
average of three persons came to the
fair, in each motor car. Estimating
10000 of the cars were from outside
the city of Topeka, the number Of Wis
itors who came to the fair by motor
car Thursday would probably be con-
servatively placed at $4,000.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The Ameri-

Saloniki with 500 refugees from
Smyrna, Consul Morris reported to the
state department. Morris said the To-

gees are expected at Saloniki within
the next few days.
The American government will be

famine stricken refugees of the Near
East on any large scale unless con-
gress takes some action to provide the
funds, it appeared today.

waiting for dispatches from Rear Ad-
miral Bristol at Constantinople, said
they had no funds Immediately avail
abe to und dertake relief. The depart
ment requested the Red Cross and the
Near East relief organization for in
formation as to what they would do.

In the absence of definite inforrna-

FROM BEING SLAVE
FARMER is MASTER
Results Of Cooperative Marketing Do Not Require
Years, But Are Almost Immediately Apparent.
Some Remarkable Results Have Been Achieved in
various Sections First Year of Operation.

Queer to consumer, the elimination
of speculative waste, and cheaper
money.
Proper Merchandising
All but the last may be called the
direct results OF proper merchan-
dising. The last is the fruit of these
results together with the fruit of or
ganization in a form that can APP
proach sources of credit unavailable
to the individual farmer, and APP
proach them with a security for loans
of much higher value than the indi-
vidual farmer can offer. The value
of the crop is not greater than when
1T is in the hands of the individual
farmer, but that value remains
steadier and Is backed by the valu-
alton of succeeding crops when II is
being handled by cooperative organ
izations. Some of the co-operatives
are today borrowing 4iz per cent
money for their farmers, and the
same machinery which thus makes
safer distribution credits will event
ually prove the means of changing
the production credits system of the
country to meet the farmers needs
without strain upon our banking in
terests.
But, more again, Of this in the
subs equent articles. Here we have,
to summarize, a great boon for the
farmer. solution of his problems.
1t is powerful solution, a solution
dealing with the distribution of prod
ucts that are a life necessity to every
man, woman and child, and therefore,
solution In which the consumer is
as vitality interested as the producer.
The succeeding articles OF this series
will deal with the effect of this CO.
operative marketing process from the
ron farmers viewpoint.
