beon having good use of it. for they

four wrecked cars in their shop for
repairs at one time. When people
do not use care in driving they must
abide the consequences.
Travelers Obey the Law.
There has been installed two stop
signals .oil. the highway, .passing
through Greenwood which calls for
the stopping of cars going through
town. There has been a tendency for
many not to know that the city i:
here and make the thorofare at v
sixty mile clip. The danger to the
pedestrains. and the liability of some
one getting hurt, or killed has caused
the city dads of Greenwood to call a
halt fln some of the fast driving
which has enrlangertMi the welfare of
the village. Better keep in line witl
this ruling and save the expense?
which a violation of the rule will
cost you.
PAID FOR HER LESSON
Mrs. Smith wanted a new fiat iron.
She wrote to a mail order house for
a catalog. It was a week 11 coming.
It took another week to decide and
write the order. She had to pay in
advance and went to the postoffice
after a moneyorder. It war too late,
the widow was closed, so she had to
go the next morning. A week later
she had to go to the postoffice for
the package. It did not suit her and
another two weeks was wasted in
correspondence, all to no purpose.
Then she telephoned to the local com
pany for an iron to be sent out. It
was delivered in an hour, was satis
factory, charged to her bill and she
learned a lesson for which she paid
full price.

Citizens of Ashland vicinity were
shocked Tuesday afternoon when the
news was given out that Hon J. B.
La Chapelle was dead. His illness
was of short duration as he had been
confined to his bed only ten days,
heart trouble being the cause of his
illness and death.
Mr. La Chappelle was a useful citi
zen of this city, and for many years
took an active interest in city, county
and state politics. For nineteen years
he was city clerk and also held the
office of police magistrate and jus
tice of the peace for a number of
years. During tne last session or tne
state legislature he had the honor of
being representative from this dis
trict. He was a member of the I. O. O.
F.. the A. O. U., and the K. of P.
lodges, going through all the chairs
of these organizations and the high
er degrees offered by the state. For
twenty years or more he held the
office of secretary of the Knights of
Phythias lodge and he was also secre
tary of the library board of this city.
He was an active and ardent member
of these lodges and for several years
edited a column in the Gazette cover
ing the activities of the secret or
ganizations of this city.
Joseph B. La Chappelle was born
at St. Albans, Vt Dec. 30. 1S60. and
was educated at Bristol, R. I. Upon
reaching his majority he left home
and gave his attention to newspaper
work. On coming west he was em
ployed on the Omaha Bee and World
Ilcrald for five years. He then went
to Glenwood. Iowa, and purchased a
newspaper and later had papers at
Tabor, Randolph and Sidney, la. In
December 1S96. he came to Ashland
khere he published the Saunders
County Journal for ten years. He
lost his plant in 1907 by fire and did
not engage in that business again
but gave his attention to the real es
tate and insurance business.
July 2nd, 18S5, Mr. La Chapelle
was united in marriage with Miss
Rose Lyon, of Glenwood, la. This
union was blessed with two sons
Robert Lyon, born Nov. 16. 188 6
who 13 now superintendent of print
ing and binding at the Men's Re
formatory at Anamosa, la., and Har
old L.. who was born Nov. 11, 1887
and is now equipment engineer for
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company and is located at St.
Loute.
Mr. La Chapelle was not a mem
ber of any church, but since residing
in Ashland has attended the Congre
gational church.
In carrying out the duties of the
various city offices that he held, in
meeting the hundreds of members of
the secret organizations to which he
belonged and in his larger acquaint
ance which he acquired as member of
the state legislature, Mr. La Chapelle
was a man widely and favorably
known, and being a man of even
temperament, with a good word for
everyone, he made many warm
friends, who are deeply grieved at his
passing. Ashland Gazette.

Corn Crop of
Cass County
Seems Assured
Reports From All Sections of the
County Are That Yield Will Be
Large and Out of Danger.
From Saturday's Dall t
The general condition of the corn
crop over Cass county seems the best
that could be desired and with
larger part of the crop out of danger
of serious injury from frost should it
come at this time and with the pros
pect of at least a week more of the
summer weather prevailing, the
whole crop with a few Isolated ex
ceptions seems to give promise of be
ing one of the greatest in the last
few years.
The lateness of the planting of
the corn in the spring caused a great
deal of nervousness to the farming
interests but the conditions have
been such in the late summer and
the first weeks of September that
seems to assure the crop.
Those who have been out over the
county report the corn ears as large
and in fine shape and each day hard
ening and getting in shape for mar
ket and those who have investigated
the crops feel that the larger part of
the crop now is safe from frost
danger.

CHILD TAKEN FROM SCHOOL
From Saturday's Daily
The kidnaped child, Mary Louise
Spies, who disappeared in Kansas
City a few days ago, was lured from
the St. Vincent's Catholic school at
that place where she had been a stu
dent since being taken by her aunt,
Mrs. Marie Cline of the Missouri city
several weeks ago.
A woman who i3 thought possibly
to have been the divorced wife of
Elmer Spies, and mother of the child,
had accompanied Mary Louise tc
school on Wednesday and obtained
permission of the school authorities
to take the child downtown and since
which time the child or the woman
have not been seen.
Mr. Spies has been in the habit of
meeting his little daughter at noon
at the school and accompanying her
on home and on Wednesday when he
called, for her he asked one of the
teachers as to Mary Louise and the
teacher confusing her with another
child of the same name informed him
that she had gone on home and it
was not until sometime later that the
fact that the child had disappeared
was learned.
The description of the woman seen
with the child does not closely fol
low that of the mother. Spies told
Kansas City authorities, but he ad
mitted that the child had often re
ceived presents from the mother.
Get your school supplies at the
Bates Book and Stationery Store,
where you will find the complete line
at all times.
Mrs. E. Schubeck and two grand
children departed this morning for
Omaha where they will enjoy a visit
over Sunday with relatives and
friends.

Corn Crop
is Increasing
in the West
Acreage Decreasing in East and
What Pays Best in South
western States.
Washington Farm history shows
that wherever there is corn there are
hogs, which explains, market special
ists say, why swine production has
doubled since 1914 in the northwest i
corn belt Iowa, Nebraska, Minne
sota and the Dakotas.
Government charts tracing the
pheonomenal increase also show that
hog receipts have fallen off in the i
eastern corn belt Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, Wisconsin and Michigan and
in the southwestern corn belt Kan
sas and Missouri.
Substantiating the rule that hogs
follow corn, other charts show that
the northwest has led In acreage
since 1912, and in production since
1918.
Market experts say the tendency
toward corn expansion In the north
west and the tendency of hog pro
duction to follow it closely is in har
mony with the general western pro
gress of corn culture that made Cin
cinnati, and then Chicago, the pork
packing center of the nation. While
Chicago stil lretains its supremacy;
and is expected to keep first place
for many years, it has not been able
recently to obtain the business that
it once had.
For the present, corn acreage in
the eastern belt is believed to have
reached a maximum, due to invasion)
by the European borer. The south-!
west is not expected to expand its
corn acreage because other crops.
notably wheat in Kansas, offer great
er profits. In the northwest, how
ever .expansion is said to be both
possible and probable. As a rule corn
and lovestock in this area are more
profitable than small grain, which is
the only possible substitute.
Consequently swine production is
expected to increase in the north
west, because, federal data shows.
corn has a fmaii commercial vaiue
there than in the east and is worth
more when fed to hogs.
By a study of hog reecipts at the
leading markets of each region Chi
cago, Cincinnati, Cleveland. East St.
Louis and Indianapolis in the eastern
heit; Kansas uuy, c. josepn unu
Wichita in the southwest; and Oma
ha, Sioux City and St. Paul in the
northwest it is 6een that pork fol
lows the general trend of corn acre
age. Two or tnre good corn crops in
succession usually are followed by
ncreased hog receipts, especially if
corn is cheap as compared to hogs.

State Fair is
Record Breaker
with 355,196
Surpasses Goal Set by Fair Manage
ment by 21,963 Next Year
Thought Even Greater.
When Nebraska's greatest state
fair came to a close Friday nignt
it was found that the lair Doara s
attendance goal for the week of 333,
333 had been surpassed by 21,9bJ
The total was 355,169.
Friday, the attendance was 42,
973. This number does not inciuae
the many hundreds who entered the
grounds after 7 p. m., when no ad
mission was charged. It had Deen
estimated that the mark might go to
fiO.000. but cate keepers doubted if
it would go over that.
Friday was the only day that did
noj; set a record over the correspond
ing day in 1926. Last year the last
day attendance was slightly over 50,
000. Every other day of this year's
exposition has set a new mark over
last year. Monday, of course, was
the greatest of them all when more
than 101,000 sought admission to the
fair ground entertainment.
The 1926 fair attendance figure
was 47.364 less than the 1927 exhibit
In 1920 the attendance was 270,684
the third largest state fair crowd on
record.'
The 1927 show drew record crowds
on three days. Sunday, Monday and
Thursday were better attended this
year than during any other fair. The
record Tuesday and Wednesday
crowds were in 1919 while the rec
ord closing day attendance was in
1926.
Monday of 1927, with 101,348 ad
mitted at the gates, was the record
breaking day over the entire period
during which the fair has been held
The second largest day in fair his
tory was on Monday. 1926. when a
figure of 75.250 was attained. Wed
nesday. 1919. drew 71.744 the third
largest crowds in a 6ingle day on the
records.
Fair officials were jubilant Friday
night over the showing made this
year and the first thing in the mind
of President Wake of the fair board
was the possibility of securing more
room for the fair next year.
"We certainly need more build
ings." he declared. "It was all we
could do to handle the crowds this
ear. The fair is growing too fast
to be cared for in the limited space
we have at present. No definite plans
for Increasing facilities have been
made as yet."
Nebraska Never Backs up
He uttered something that is in a
way toward becoming a classic.
"Nebraska never backs up."
That was his reply to a question
as to whetner tne raxr next, year
would be planned on as large a scale
as was the 1927 show.
He said that Secretary Jackson
would have a financial report ready
soon, probably early next week.
A feature inaugurated this year

PLAN SAVING DAMAGED C0B3
Lincoln Three possible solutiol
have been offered the farmer whcf
corn has been hailed out. In a n
cent statement on the subject t
agricultural department of the ui
versity here said disposition of t
hailed corn crop depends almost e
tirely on the extent to which the en
is damaged. After a beating stor
of hail that does more than 50 p
cent damage to a corn field it is r
commended that the best move is
turn stock onto the crop to get wh
food value there is left. In the evej
the crop is not more than half ruin
by the storm the best solution is 1c
mediate harvest of the remains of tl
crop and its disposition in a silo. Tl
statement said little food value is lo
in this manner and it was point
to as by far the most practical soli
tion.
