Texas Lands and Duty of Surveyors.


The pubic domain of Texas have
long since been surveyed with the
exception of a few small strips of
what is known as scrap land, and ly-
ing between the block lines OF old
surveys, the lines and corners OF
which are well defined and estab-
lished on the ground, by which there
should be no controversies in the
courts over boundaries, nine times
out OF ten, surveyors are the cause
of land owners going into the courts
TO settle their disputes.
There is practically nothing left
for surveyors to do only to trace the
lines and recognize all the original
corners, as established by the locat-
ing. surveyor. 1t matters not how in
correct the work proves to be on the
ground.
A state surveyor cannot change the
lines and corners from their orig
inal position any more than deputy
county surveyor could. A county, dis
trict or independent surveyor can
do work anywhere in Texas, If the
owners of the land wants him
county or district surveyor can make
surveys on scrap or unsurveyed lands
existing in bodies up to 1850 acres
and return field notes to the Gener-
al land officer, which would be ac-
cepted by the Land Commissioner,
when they would not be If returned
by a state surveyor.
Wherever a corner is called for in
the field notes is found to be oblit-
Grated the surveyor should relocate
it II possible where it originally
stood, or If there is no evidence on
the ground It should be placed equi-
distant from and in line with the adj
jacent corners.
Respectfully.

FISCHER BAKERY.

The size of the loaf doesn't always
determine the quality of the bread nor
it's taste and wholesomeness. or
course, the reverse may be true and
then one should also consider the fact
that he is entitled to a certain weight
loaf of bread as fixed by law or city or
dinance. 1t is always possible to de-
termine just what is the proper size
and weight of bread for the amount
of money charged for it, but the
average citizen of Sauk Centre does
not like to be put to this trouble. He
finds it is much more simple and sat
isfactory, too, to make all his pur-
chases of bakery goods from the big
wholesome bakery of Mr.. F. Fischer.
1t has been demonstrated for some
time that Mr.. Fischer produces the
most appetizing breads, rolls. cakes,
pies and other dainty bakery goods
to be found in this vicinity. This is
possible because of his skill and ex-
perience in the bakery business and
because in all his baking operations
he purchases the best -four, shorten
ings and fruits and filters that money
can buy.

tiles and groceries is an uphill fight,
but one that has been and is still be-:
ing fought by Whitson and Whitson,
grocers. You have an opportunity to
DO your bit towards holding prices
down to the lowest possible level by
trading with Whitson & Whitson, for
by increasing their trade they will be
able to do a greater volume of bus
mess. This in turn is reflected in
still better prices, for they conduct
their business on the principle of
many sales and small profits. Over
head and operating expenses must al
ways be considered by a merchant.
There are certain fixed overhead
charges that must be met with which
if there is but small patronage mean
that large profits must be taken on
sales. However, if there are large
sales, the percentage of operating eX-
penses is lowered on each sale. The
rest is easy to figure out and the NOR
al is to trade with the merchant who
is trying to fight your battle. One
will always find high grade and first
class groceries at the Whitson &
Whitson store. and at prices that are
as low as such goods can be reason

G. n. VANDESTEEG.

Do you have headaches and do your
eyes pain you? If SO, these are gener-
ally considered infallible signs that
your eyes are affected or weak and
should be tested and examined by a
competent optometrist. If you squint
when you read or when you attempt
to look off, it is a sign that your eyes
are weak and that you need glasses to
correct and strengthen your vision.
You will find that G. H. Vendesteeg,
Sauk Centres we'll known optometrist
and eyesight specialist, is eminently
qualified to examine and test the most
difficult cases that may be taken to
him. His training has been obtained
in hospitals and from many years of
practice, all of which fit him to pre-
scribe the right kind of glasses for you
to wear. Toric lenses, such as are
made by Mr., Vandesteeg, will stop
your headaches and correct the de-
fects of your vision.

and besides always brings satisfaction
to the purchaser. 1t adds to the ap-

well made and will last life time if
given ordinary care. The June bride

clean, nothing except plenty of soap
lots of soft water and improved ma
chinery which washes the dirt from
them, and they are returned to you
white and clean and uninjured. If you
want them just dry washed you can
have them that way; if you want the
fiat work sent home ironed, you can

of personal wear, ironed by hand, you
can have them done also.
