Title
Insurance

Whichever way you
look at it, the price Of
\ title insurance Is mod
crate.
Often it costs actu-
ally less in money than
the old method of
bringing the abstract
down to date and get
ting a legal opinion on
the title.
And then, however
competent and careful
the lawyer, his report
remains an opinion
no doubt a good opin-
ion, but ONLY an
opinion.
In title insurance
you also get a legal
opinion - the opinion
of lawyers who spe-
cialize in land law
And a $500, 900 cor
poration guarantee that
the opinion is correct;
that it will pay all costs
Of defending your title
if attacked-and reim-
burse you if you lose.

DOC PHILLIPS ONCE
RESIDED IN NEWARK

Doc Phillips is said to have
resided in Newark for several
months a few years ago. He
came from nowhere in parti-
cular, was a visionary sort of
fellow, claimed to be a "me-
dunn" or "spiritualist," and
claimed to possess power for
locating hidden treasures. He
said his home was in Dallas.
Tex, and after working here
for some time, he went to
Fort Smith. Parties who knew
Phillips when he worked in
Newark say they are conf
dent he is the same Phillips
who was killed at Hot Springs
Monday.

MEASURE GIVEN OTHERS
WILL RETURN TO YOU

The following splendid
poem was recited by Miss Eth
ell Fitch at the recent Child
ren's Day services held at the
Mount Carmel church.
Another year of life has fled,
With all its joys and cares,
And time is still Fastening on
Into its vale of years.
And as you now the past re-
view,
Have you each promise kept?
Have you done what you
know is right,
Or has your conscience slept?
But it will wake perhaps too
late,
The truth will come to you,
That what you now to others
do
VIII soon come home to you
And will that truth bring JOY
or pain,
To soothe declining years?
Or will the reeollections bring
But only cause for tears?
Do not look for wrong OF

You will find them if you do
AS you measure for YOU

THE INTELLIGENT
MANAGEMENT OF
A PUBLIC INDUSTRY
Thousands of Dollars Saved
Annually by Introduction
of Modern Methods in the
Post Office Department

Washington, July 10.-The
interest of people in public
affairs is considerably height
ened when they learn that the
revenues of the Government
are wisely and judiciously
managed. A statement of eco
nomical expenditure which is
susceptible of proof will al
ways attract attention and
please the thoughtful reader.
Among the varied Industrial
enterprises of the Post Office
Department in Washington is
an establishment devoted en-
tirely to the manufacture of
mail locks and the bag at
tachments used in mail trans
portation. When this admins
tration came into power, the
Department sorely needed an
improved type of mail lock.
The shop was Immediately re-
organized, placed on a bust
ness basis, and its activities
enlarged so as to meet the
imperative demand. Within a
very short time a new and
greatly improved lock had
been devised and its produc-
ton begun.
The lock in use weighs 81
ounces; the new one weighs
2 As ounces. AS 100000 of
this new product have been
put into service. the differ
ence in weight (the Govern
ment paying as much for the
weight of equipment as itdoes
for the mail ITSELF can be
easily calculated. The locks
replaced by this new and bet
ter style costs q cents each to
make; those now being man.
ufaetured cost 812 cents, di-
rect and indirect charges con-
sidered, the saving thus shown
on original cost of production
to date amounting to $53,750.
Of the old style, $4,000 were
annually returned for repair
at cost of about 9 cents
each. Of the new style, out of
the great number sent into
service, but 906 have been re-
turned, and as these new style
locks can be repaired at a cost
OF 3 cents each, the annual
saving on this item will
amount to over $2,1O0.
The Department has in this
administration encouraged its
employees to give their best
service to the government and
many instances have recently
come to notice wherein the
Deartment has greatly profit
ed by this wise public policy.
In the lock shop recent
achievement in this direction
is an improved cord fastener
the work of three of its en-
ployees, for use on bags ;also
one designed for lockinglarg-
er quantities of parcel post
matter, which has heretofore
been without this protection.

GARLAND COUNTY
SHERIFF IS SLAIN
IN GUN BATTLE
Doc Phillips Who Once Resid-
ed in Newark Kills Officer
and is Then Slain by Citi-
zens at Hot Springs

Hot Springs, July TO-
Sheriff Charles c. Webb was
shot and instantly killed, and
Deputy Sheriffs Dave Young
and Henry Houpt were wound
/ ed early tonight by 'Doc"
Phillips, IS years old, of Dal-
las, Tex, a self-styled ''treas-
ure hunter, . who turned mani
&C when an effort was made
/ to arrest him in a rooming
house. A posse of officers and
residents who gathered outside
fired Is shots into the house.
Phillips was riddled with bull
lets and was dead when the
officers Ventured into the
house.
The effort to arrest Phillips
followed complaints that he
was armed and was threaten
ing pedestrians who passed
the home Of Mrs. Elizabeth
Sylvester, 905 East Grand ave-
nue., where he roemed. Sheriff
Webb and his deputies went
to the house, accompanied by
Constable DoWnen. They saw
Phillips partly dressed, stand
ing at a window. A revolver
was strapped to his left side.
None of the officers was arm
ed and Sheriff Webb asked
Phillips to put up his gun and
surrender.
Phillips fired upon the sher-
if when he entered his room,
the bullet entering his head
and killing him instantly.
Deputy Sheriff Young, who
was behind the sheriff, was
shot in the groin, but he en-
piled his automatic gun at
Phillips.
Thinking Phillips had been
killed, Deputy Sheriff Houpt
entered the house and a shot
from Phillips struck him in the
Ifleshy part of the thigh.
Reinforcements were sent
for, and as news of the shoot
ing reached the downtown sec
ton, hundreds of people gath
cred. Silence in the house led
the officers to believe that
Phillips had been shot or prob
ably killed. The sheriff's body
still was in the front room with
his slayer. Suddenly an auto
passed, and as suddenly a shot
from Phillips revolver follow
ed it.
The result was instantaneous.
More than score of guns
flashed into hands of officers
and civilians and at least rs
bullets sped at the room from
whence came the shot. The
house was surrounded. After
long period of silence, Dep
uty Sheriff Brown, Deputy
Sheriff Walz and James Row
les entered the house by a rear
door, and crept toward the
death room. The sheriff lay
dead upon the floor and Phil
lips lay dead across a daven-
port. He was hit half dozen
times with revolver bullets and
part of charge from shot
gun.
Phillips came here 10 weeks
ago from Dallas, according to
Mrs. Sylvester. He had money
but did odd jobs at homes near
by.

ANY COUNTY MAY GET ROAD AID
BY Spending Sum Equal to That
Sought from U. s.

Any county in Kansas may procure
q share of the federal appropriation
for surfaced roads If the road to be
built is of real benefit to the county
or township through which 1t runs.
This is the gist Of letter from s. N.
Hawkes., assistant attorney general,
to C. NJ. Harger, concerning the OPP
Grafton of the federal road appropria-
ton.
The counties and townships deter
mine the roads that are to be built
and make the levies for them. Be-
cause there is no state highway de-
partment in Kansas the secretary of
agriculture in Washington, probably
will make rules requiring the pay
ment of the governments proportion
OF the funds to the governor Of this
state and the expenditure Of the mon
ey by Governor Capper.
After the plans and specifications
for surfaced roads are made by the
township or county they will be sent
to Governor Capper who has the final
decision in the matter. In turn Gov
ernor Capper sends the plans to the
secretary OF agriculture in Washing
ton. II they are approved there, the
government pays half of the cost of
building the road. Under the act, no
funds can be furnished state until
levies have been made in various
counties that aggregate the amount
that has been apportioned that state
by the government. The mere max
ing Of the levies, however, does not
entitle the township or the county to
share in the federal apportionment.
The approval of the state highway de-
partment--or II there Is none, then
the governor-and the final approval
of the secretary of agriculture must
be had before a road may be built.
Dickinson county made no road
levy, the commissioners figuring that
the money on hand and the automo-
bile tax will furnish enough.
