W. +. Langford on Saturday placed
on the Advertiser desk as large specl
men of the asteraceous plant. cogno
minated sunfower, as ever nodded
and bended in the breezes" in the
''Sunfower State, Kansas. 1t meas
ured Is inches in diameter and was an
ordinary sample of his yield. He put
one quarter of an acre in Russian
White Sunfiower seed on medium land
and garnered two heavy wagon loads,
which he will feed and fatten his hogs
with. In Russia they raise the sun
flower for oil, and there is no valid
reason why it should not become a
paying commercial product here, too.
Mr.. Langford as an experimenter in
that line is doing valuable service to
the diversifcation movement, and his
demonstration that hogs will thrive
and grow fat on sunfowers will be a
valuable suggestion to those who de-
sire to emerge from the one crop rut
While operating only small farm
forty acres-Mr. Langford is well sa-
tisfed with results. He has large
sorghum crop. He has three acres in
peanuts that have yielded abundantly.
Fifteen sleek and fat hogs grunt and
sun themselves on his premises and
attain more avoirudpois every day from
products raised exclusively on his
place. His cotton crop is the best on
record. He has a magnificent pea crop.
His corn yield is large enough to meet
hissneeds, and in a pinch he might have
some to spare. His acreage in Nancy
Hall sweet potatoes was very prolific
and satisfactory. Forty acres, in Miss
issippi, when judciously and intensive
ly cultivated is enough to afford any
family comfortable and easy living.

The Lexington Advertiser very per-
tinently says: "A town or city cannot
grow without commerce, and COM
merce, like water, follows the lines of
least resistance" This has proven
true everywhere, and the Leader has
urged it upon the attention of the peo-
pie of West Point, from away back.
A town or city can no more grow into
larger proportions dependent on its
internal and immediate surrounding
trade, than physical body can grow
and take on flesh without nourishing
food. If the body is not furnished
good, rich blood, provided by nutritious
food,it will either gradually pine away
or may for years drag out miserable
existence until the end comes. So ii
is with a town or city that has not life
andsenergy enough to reach out along
the lines of commerce, for both export
alton and importation. If it does not
gradually go down before the persist
ence of its neighbors, it will pull along
with vacillating value of holdings, al
ways some empty store and dwelling
houses, and heavy taxation. If man
gets business and makes money in these
pushing times, he must do some hust-
ling; and so with community. A
concert of action ana unanimity of
sentiment on the part of the people,
backed by good common business
sense. will win out along the line of
prosperity every time, and the better
the natural conditions and surround
ings the more rapidly will success
come. West Point Leader.

ARepubllcan was elected to congress

of 553 votes over his Democratic op.

a result of treachery in the Democratic

However. the Democratic vote was
highly gratifying in normally Repub.

ABOUT LAND TITLES

The other day a Canon City man
who has lived on his place for several
years and naturally supposed that he
owned II found out that 4 tax deed
had been given for the place before
he bought II and that in fact the title
was in another name
This man did not require an ab-
stract when he bought the place and
I'D no, consult lawyer until be f~=:..c
the trouble.
A few years ago a Lincoln Park
man wanted to borrow some money
on his orchard home. He had an ah-
s,ract. but when II was examined py
the attorney for the .oan company II
vas found that the title WAS very
Imperfect. and that Il required another
deed and other papers to max. the
title good. II was fortunate that tins
was found out while the people inter
esd still lived.
In, this case the man supposed be-
cause he had an abstract that nis title
must be sood-so he cid not consult
lawyer about the matter until he got
into trouble.
When school district No. rur-
chased the site where the Lincoln
school building no~ stands no ab-
stract was required. probably because
members OF the board. who ~ess prom
iuent business men OF the. town. had
known the line OF title SO loaE they
supposed II to be all right. several
years ia.er they found mortsaso ON
the land and the school district acsn-
ally had TO pay the purchase price a
second time. This happened man,

ABOUT CLOTHES
Lots Of men talk about The foolish

Lots of men talk about the foolish
ness of vomen's dress.
But look at the men.
Nearly every man in town is wear
ing his winter clothes-and Kicking
about the heat
Nearly every man In town has
enough sense to know that light
weight and light colorcd clothes are
much cooler.
But men are towards. Each man is
afraid to come out alone In a white
suit Suppose DR.. Little or Grant
Dickinson walked down the street In
a pair OF white duck trousers and a
light weight coat-what would the
people say. That is what keeps them
and everybody else from dressing

But suppose all the clerks. BARRIERS

would permit should put on white
ducks. or white fianneis, or light stu1

either. They could save those high
priced. heavy winter suits for winter
time and would save as much as they
spend.
We admire the women--and their
good sense IN dress. Those white
funny. light atuns look mighty good
and cool. We wish the men had half

I have found out too late the value o.
an abstract and of a lawyer at n.
right time.
No person should ever purchase 4
property or take n mortgage on n
piece OF property without first hav-
ing an abstract brought up to date.
That is necessary TO be safe. but
that is not all.
An abstract shows merely al. TIE
Instruments that have been recorded
against given piece of property The
average individual Is not competent
to pass on an abstract. The writer
Of this story handles more abstracts
than most real estate men eve- but
he does not feel competent to pass
on an abstract.
The safest thing to do is TO take thr
abstract to n competent lawyer ana
have him look into the abstract. lie
makes this business and knows what
to look for. He will tell you what the
abstract shows.
The time to nx up a title. Il any
thing Is wrong. Is before YOU have
paid the money over.
The time to consult a lawyer Il be-
fore you get into trouble. 1t is eooi
deal cheaper and often saves great
deal OF trouble. In the few cases me's-
toned above the lawyers we're paid
more money probably to get the peo-
pie out OF trouble than these people
will ever need to pay ont to have all
the abstracts examined they ever
come in contact with In the future.
Most people know very little about
titles. The only sass way in acquir-
ing titles or making icaas Is to have
good abstract and good lawyer,
ITS the chsapess in the lens run.
