Eureka Is Unperturbed By Babson's College; They Didn't Know He Was Coming
Eurecka. (UP)—The 4,000 residents of this Kansas town are taking in their stride the plans of Roger Babson to establish here a mid-west haven of culture, which he hopes will be perpetually free from the threat of atomic bomb attack. The business prophet stepped from the one-a-day southbound train from Emporia last Oct. 13. His coming was quiet and unannounced. When he left town 24 hours later he held deeds to 160 acres of land, as well as a red brick structure on Main street. place bought it," said one custom-
Most folk here didn't know who Babson is, but now they do. They have learned that he is vice president and director of half a dozen big corporations and that his statistical organization furnishes information to bankers, business men and investors throughout the world.
He predicted the 1929 financial crash and has been trying to figure out a method of predicting earthquakes in nature.
The open acreage on the edge of town, under Babson's plans, will become Utopia College. The red brick building, it was reported, will become a vault in which Babson will store important papers.

The newspapers, meanwhile, have hailed the event as the most important in the town's history. The chamber of commerce has burned the civic shield by sending an honorary membership to Babson. It's forgotten and forgiven the fact that it didn't know Babson was coming until Babson got there.
A tavern is located on the first door of the rickety red brick building that Babson bought.
Business there is about as usual—sometimes a little more so—and the patrons have heard there's been a change of ownership.

The proprietor is Mrs. J. L. Thompson, a widow—and she knows a little more. She has heard the new owner's name is Babson.
She says they haven't thought about moving.
"We have a lease until May and I won't worry my head about it until then."
The building reportedly sold for $7,000. Mrs. Thompson's daughter took a slightly different view of the sale.
"We could have gotten $14,000," she said. "We didn't know who he was."
