THE HANDMADE" SPIRIT

THE HANDMADE" SPIRIT
WHEN all paper was made by hand Crane papers
were made by hand. When paper>making ma
chinery was invented the Crane Mills adopted
it. Indeed, some of the early Cranes helped to
invent it.
The Crane Mills is one of the few paper
making houses in this country which have had
experience with both methods 1t has been able
to carry the spirit of handmade paper into the
age of machinery. Machinery gave the oppor'
tunity of applying on large scale the careful
thoroughness which is the qualitywe still asso'
ciate with the words "hand>made." Today the
Crane Mills make better paper with the aid Of
machinery than they did in the days of hand
work because the spirit of the hand work is ap'
piled to the product of machinery.

LET'S HELP!

The Free Fair needs help.
It needs the assistance of Topeka
organizations to care for the thou
sands of motor cars that come to this
city fair week.
The grounds will hold several hum
dred-but not enough. A big camp
ing site has been established to care
for more Still not enough.
The Topeka Kiwanians solved their
problem yesterday and today when
they established free parking space on
Quincy for their guests.
Why not mark off Tyler and Polk
streets between 18th and 14th for
free parking spaces Why not appoint
committees from the Rotary, Kiwanis,
Cooperative and other clubs to act as
guards for these parking spaces?
1t would be real service to To-
peka visitors. It would be a real ser
vice. to the Free Fair. 1t would solve
situation that must be faced if To-
peka is to be a real host to her thous-
ands of Kansas visitors fair week
Think it over and report your plan
to Phil Eastman, secretary, before
Monday morning.
Let's work for this fair.

THIRTEEN NOW UNDER ARREST
Interest at Marion Now Centered on
Attempt of Accused to Give Bond.
(By the Associated Press.)
(By The Associated Pressl

Marion, Sept. 9.-The number of
persons in Jail today, as a result of
their Indictment in connection with
the Herrin massacre, in which % per-
sons were killed June 81 and %, was
brought to thirteen by the surrender
of viii Travelstead, one of the 58 in
dicted.
Marion, Sept. a.-Thirteen William
son county men are now in the county
Jail at Marion charged with murder
in connection with the Herrin mas
sacre and others are surrendering or
being arrested every hour.
Fred McGough of Marion, married
and 27 years old, a coal miner, woke
Sheriff Melvin Thaxton up this morn
ing to surrender himself. McGough
heard late Friday night that he had
been indicted, so slept one more night
at home before giving up to the au-
thorities.
Interest locally is centered upon the
action of the U.M.W.A. attorneys to
learn their next move and to find out
whether they intend to push their Pc
tition for bail for Otis Clark during
this week of recess. Action in CIark's 5
case is expected to be a precedent
for all of the. other cases. The state
will oppose any attempt to obtain bail,
but the miners attorneys quoting
numerous precedents believe that they
can obtain bail, because, they say,
these murders were not premeditated
but occurred under the stress of ex-
citement during a riot.

At o'clock Monday morning will
occur the official opening of the 1922
Kansas Free Fair-the biggest fair in
the state and the greatest free exposi-
ton of its kind between the two
oceans.
The Free Fair grounds at present
time are the scenes of feverish ac-
tivity Sunday and Sunday night the
last touches will be added and every
thing placed in readiness for the OPEN
ing Monday morning
The tremendous number of entries
in practically every department have
exceeded the fondest hopes of the
management. despite rail strikes and
mine strikes, Kansas is prosperous and
the success of her farmers and manu-
facturers is reflected in the quality
and quantity of exhibits that will lie
before the public eye next week.
Cattle Pavilions Filled
And still the ~entires are coming in.
The horse show next week will be
twice as large as last year. with breed
ers from outside states exhibiting here
for the first time. While the cattle
show is always a big one, the man
agen1ent this week has given up hope
of ssheltering all the animals brought
here for exhibit and is now accepting
entries only on condition that the ex-
hibitors supply their own tents and
take a chance on stall room in the
big pavilion.
In the swine barns the AIT pens
have been gobbled up by exhibitors
who will have more than 1,500 hogs
on display and extra pens are being
constructed to care for the additional
animals whose owners are clamoring
to enter them in the show. The ex-
hibit of sheep will be three times as
large as in 1921 and feverish efforts
are being made to house them.
No state in the middle west boasts
a finer livestock show than that held
each year in Topeka. The best quail
ity herds from Kansas and adjoining
states are brought here for exhibit
and the breeders seem to have a
particular craving for the Kansas Free
fair ribbons. The dairy cow exhibit
year.
More Fruit This Year.
One of the most noticeable features
will be the horticultural displays. For
once Kansas has had a very good
fruit crop and this time every bit of
space in the horticultural section will
be occupied. Several varieties of fruit
which have been lacking during the
last few years will be seen in profusion

In the agricultural department the.
exhibits of corn. wheat millet, rye,
sorghum, potatoes, sweet potatoes,

The educational and entertainment
program of the Free Fair this year is
undoubtedly the biggest in its history.
An immense amount of time, money
and effort has been expended to bring
to Topeka the very best in amuse-
ments, while the educational facilities
are to be met on every hand.
If favorable weather prevails it is
expected that the 1920 attendance rec
ord of 100000 will be exceeded. More
people own cars now than two years
ago; there is more interest in the fair;
the roads are good and the railroads
have declared a rate of fare and one
third for all round-trip tickets Dur
ing all next week a steam train will
be substituted for the motor car on
the Topeka -Marysville branch of the
Union Pacific and the train will be
held in Topeka until $50 O'Clock each
afternoon to permit visitors from that
section of the state to get back home
in the evening All railroads entering
Topeka are putting on extra equip
ment in order to handle the crowds.
Many Fast Races.
The attractions of the Free Fair this
year are manifold. Not only are the
exhibits the most extensive ever
known, but the amusements will be
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fri
day. it is predicted, will be the best
in the state and the fastest ever seen
on the Topeka track. Wednesday and
Saturday there will be programs of
thrilling auto races with many widely
known dirt track speed kings COM
peting. The death-defying auto polo
contests which aroused so much in
terest last year will be held every af-
ternoon and evening. Each night a
large program of big time circus and
hippodrome acts will be given in front
of the grandstand, followed by an i'm
.pressive pyrotechnical display. There
will be band concerts morning. after
noon and night, and AL Sweets Sing
ing Hussars from New York will add
to the musical attractions.
In the Peoples pavilion there will
be programs of an educational and en-
tertaining nature every day. The
Kansas horse shoe pitchers tourna-
ment to decide the state title will be
held Tuesday morning. Ed Hollings-
worth Of Quenemo, is the present
champion. There will also be a milk

RALLY FOR BETTER
Improvement is Noted in Con-
ditiOn of Mrs. Harding.
Passed Comfortable Night, But
Crisis Still Exists.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The condi-
ton of Mrs. Harding, wife of the
president, continued today a source
of anxiety to those in attendance at
her bedside, altho it was stated Of
ficially that the complication noted
yesterday was less threatening.
A rise in the patients temperature
was recorded during the forenoon but
this was not unexpected on the part
of the physicians VIII did not view it
as necessarily dangerous symptom.
Brig. Gen. Sawyer informed news
paper men at noon that the staten ent
issued from the White House this
morning would be the last until s
o'clock unless there was a radical
change.
1t was emphasized at the White
House that both President and Mrs.
Harding hold every confidence in Doc
tor Sawyer, especially in view of his
personal attendance upon Mrs. Hard
ing on the occasion of similar attacks
in the past. AS a matter of precau-
ton, however, specialists have been
called in for consultation and others
are en- route to the White House to-
day.
Operation Waits on DIR. Mayo.
DIR. John Finney, of Baltimore who
is already on the scene, DIR. Charles H.
Mayo, of Rochester. Mimi, and other
PAAS SASlduS are S&peCl6Q TO make an
examination on the arrival of Doctor
Mayo at 7:43 a. m. tomorrow, when n
decision will be reached as to the
necessity of an operation. Failure of
Mrs. Harding's condition to respond
to the treatment which had proven ef-
ficacious in the past, was the basis of
much of the anxiety evidenced around
the White House. The treatment in
cluded frequent applications of hot
cloths in an endeayor to induce eIimi-
nation of possible uremic poison thru
the pores.
A bulletin issued by Brig. Gen. c. E.
Sawyer, physician in attendance said
Mrs. Harding had a fairly good
night and that complications of yes
terday were less threatening this
morning. .
sawyer's statement follows: Mrs.
Harding had a fairly good night. The
complications of yesterday are less
threatening this morning. On the
whole her condition is as fayora BILE
as can be expected at this time"
For the first time since the Hard
ings entered the White House visitors
were barred today from the historic
mansion. The gates to the. grounds
were thrown open a few hours after
Harding was inaugurated. and from
that time. within reasonable hours.
