for centuries as deer parks, shooting preserves, lands of the fox hunt, golf and fishing. Today they are a drug on the market.
 The current issue of a well known British real estate magazine today carries 19 solid pages of closely print ed advertisements asking purchasers or tenants for than 5OOoO acres of sporting estates and innumcrable country seats throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
 Real estate experts with an eye on the future declare the large estates, will in most cases fail of sale or lease; that they must be split into smaller tracts and sold for agricultur- al purposes. The fox hunt and the grouse moor will never again be so

popular as they were before the war, say the experts.
 Here is a sample ad of the proper ties now on the market:
 "Historic manor house in the West ern Highlands. Thirty bed and dress ing rooms, several reception rooms. Delightful matured old grounds. Ten thousand acres of shooting. For sale or moderate rental"
 The ad continues to explain that one seasons shoo.ing on the game preserves has been 1000 pheasants, 500 cartridges, 15O hares, 1900 rab- bits and many woodcocl1, duck and snipe.
 Any person in America who has garnered wealth making munitions, or otherwise, could lease a real castle on a long time contract at very mod crate terms.
 This castle, its ad. declares, is charmingly-located on a pretty Loeb and is surrounded by vast sporting estate of 14,OOO acres, 11OOO of which consists of one of the best grouse moOrs in Scotland. The best single bag of grouse thus far has been 75O brace. There also is excel lent salmon fishing and golf links.
 Tho ad. makes no mention of agr;- culture.
 With hundreds os thousands of men released from tEc army after demOt- iHzation, Britain must find a place for them
 Those who have lived in the open air will not return to desks in stuffy offices and indoor civilian occupations of the past. They will insist on con tinued open air, according to those who are now making a study of the situation.
 What were grouse moors and hunt ing estates of the pre-war period most probably will be the agricultural homes in the postwar era of thou sands of the men who have carried the guns
 That England, Scotland, and Wales will be much nearer the soil long be- fore the next five years is over is the firm and widespread conviction in England.

EDw. W. FOX, DEAD

Edw. w. Fox, for the past thirty
years one of the leading business
men of Union county, died Friday
morning at i:2O o'clock. Mr.. Fox
had been ailing for sometime and
while his death was a great shock
to the community, it was not un-
expected. He leaves a wife and lit
tie daughter.
He will be best remembered by
the people of Union county as reg
lister cf the Clayton land office, a
position he held for sixteen years,
going out Of Office about four years
ago, since when he has conducted a
land business of his own, giving
all the benefit Of his ripe experience
in land matters. Mr.. Fox, in part
nership with the late George Bush
nell, opened the first mercantile
establishment in Clayton in 1887,
and continued in that business in
Clayton for many years.
Mr. Fox was a man of strong
convictions and strong friendships.
We have heard it said, and believe
it. that he would go farther for a
friend than any other man in the
county. He was our friend and we
know this reputation was truly
earned.
The latest information is that the
funeral will be held Tuesday after
noon, next, giving time for Mrs.
G. Schroeder of Watsonville, Galifor-
mia, his mother-in-law, to reach
CLAYTON.

TRHEE PROUD MEN

Last Sunday afternoon, three of
the proudest men that we have
seen for a long time came into town
in a ird touring car, which was the
transportation for a big four prong
ed buck deer. The men in mind
were Ira L Pennington, Morgan p,
Harvey and Thomas E. Owens. Last
Saturday they left for the wllds
in quest of the antlered beauty and
they only got as far as some Of
Ira's relation, when they were il
1ited to stop, which they did and
the hunting party thought they
would try the hunting around that
part of the world. They had been
hunting only a short time when
the buck was aroused from his
slumbersb only to go down with
three bullets in his carcass. N
