Linda,
I think you will find your grandfather indexed as G William Pringle.  He is in Berlinn Precinct Harper Co Kansas.  They are the last entry on image 6,
The ink is badly smudged, but ages place of birth and Carrie is legible.

  This is not exactly an Oregon problem -- because we came to Oregon in 1947 -- and my problem
  is in 1920. 

  My father, Harold Kenneth Umpleby was born in Harper Co., KS, 17 Sep 1908

  His father was William Grant Umpleby, born in Ohlman, Montgomery Co., IL, 28 May 1868
  married 29 Sep 1892 to
  Caroline "Carrie" Barnstable, b. near Ohlman, Montgomery Co., IL, 2 Apr 1870

  I can not find this family in the 1920 U.S. Census. They should be in Kansas, probably Harper Co.
  I have searched two townships in Harper County, page by page.
  I just scrolled through Ancestry.com's Soundex for 1920 -- 1,515 names 
      all without success.

  In 1910 they were in Berlin Twp., Harper Co., KS
  In 1930 they were in Berlin Twp., Harper Co., KS

  There are some creative misspellings of the name out there, but nothing seems to work. I do not have access to Heritage Quest to see if they have indexed it differently.

  I know there are some extremely good researchers in this group who love nothing more than to solve
  a good mystery. Well, here is one!
