of the district court yesterday, when

was turned over TO tho county as Is
the usual custom, by tax certificate.
Between 1918 and 1918 no taxes were
paid by anyone as the tax title was in
Pueblo county.
Then along came J. X. Lumbar and
paid up all the taxes. amounting TO
s196.10. He received receipts for tho
taxes and certificate OF redemption,

due on the property: II was clear OF
taxes. Some time thereafter nc placed
his papers in tho hands OF an attorney
to take the proper steps to secure him

showed him that he had paid tho
original owners taxes without getting
any credit for it in his own name as
relates to title. Under these peculiar
conditions he could not secure tax
deed without going into court and hav-
ing the matter adjusted.
This caused the filing Of suit. tho

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Question About Vulcan

To the Editor of The Age Heraid
 The attached clipping brings to my mind q question I want some one to answer definitely for all time. Since Vulcan has been -.ected out at the fairgrounds, making a home for a hust1ing hive of bees, he bears upon his breast the simple figures, "57." on seeing those figures one day while at tending the fair, I asked about 50 people what the "57' meant Those who answered at all explained with smile of sympathy that it represented the "57 varieties" that every school child has been familiar with for q number of years.
 If that's the case, why? Did MT. Heinz make a substantial donation to the Vulcan fund?
 I don't think he wore that tag to St. Louis. Don't remember seeing it there. If it's for the pickle king, then why were not other national adver- tisers allowed a place to hang their tag?
 The question has been asked through the Dothan Eagle before, but no one in Jones valley saw it; if they did, they failed to tell us. Will The Age Herald look into this?

defeated. Carpenter was just as game in defeat as he was in battle. He acknowledged frankly and with out a trace of bitterness that he was no match for Dempsey. Des- camps said, Tt was, of course, an unfortunate thing that Carpentier broke his hand in that second round yesterday. However, the chances are that the result would have been the same, only it would have come later in the fight"
 That is spoken like a true sports man. Carpentier and Descamps have noNexcuses to make. During the remainder of their stay in America let us hope that Georges and his manager, whose devotion to the French champion is not alto gether mercenary and, therefore, should command respect, will be treated as well as they deserve, par ticularly by newspaper men.

POOR GEORGES,
From Forbes Magazine.

IT I Oiu oIDGS 1hdS
 ID ENEWED courage, determina- jNN ton to make go of things,
 confidence that envisions bet ter business after the depression shall have passed-al1 the mental bucking up that is generally described by the phrase Improving sentiment"-these ,things are essential to a real revival of manufacturing activity. But quite often when we are talking of better sentiment, if we would but look for it, we might find tangible evidence of better business. Here are some sta tistical data, which reveal pretty good gains for period wherein so many people imagined there was no real improvement in trade.
 From January to April this year there has been an increase of S1 per cent in our imports of crude materials for use in manufacturing. This is tity; so that. as prices have been go- ing rapidly downward, the gain in quantity is probably around 40 per cent. In brief, car loadings show that manufacturers have been shipping to dealers their surplus stocks of fin ished goods and buying more coal with which to produce more goods, and imports of crude materials make it plain that manufacturers have been enlarging their purchases of supplies.
 Mar is thiS all nf tha ia n orihla 1n.

MANUFACTURING REVIVAL

mistakable evidence of a general bet torment in the manufacturing indus try The labor department at Wash ington each month obtains returns from nearly 800 manufacturing plants scattered throughout the United' States, showing the numbers of per- sons employed and the amount of the pay roll These returns disclose the facts that manufacturing was at its minimum In January, and that it has been moderately improving ever since.
 We are warranted in concluding that the manufacturing revival is fact, and not merely a hope or a dream. It Is slow, and it is neither uniform nor universal. Some indus tries have not yet joined the march toward better times, but in due course they will. If ones own business is still on the downward trend. the best policy shouud be to take courage and> begin calculating when the inevitable revival will reach it, and how best to take advantage of the revival Faith and hope are not necessary, because all that is required to be convinced of the slow but steady recovery is open-eyed observation.
 e Producers and traders in goods for home consumption may expect almost immediate further improvement, and business In expansion materials prom ises faithfully to revive as soon as consumption grows enough to pretty fully utilize our existing capacity.

A RICH MANS GAME

Edwin A. Goewey, in Leslie's.
 Racing is a wealthy mans game. The owner who would possess a string of winners able to capture a considerable share of the awards in the really big events must have sources of supply other than the race track for replenishing his bank roll. For the financial piker to strive to compete for the capital prizes means a short shift, unless he enjoys phenomenal run of luck. To be sure, there are hundreds of small owners" who eke out an existence by raising, training and selling prom islng youngsters, and who win few limited purses at the various meets. usually against rather ordinary fields. But maintaining first-class stable is like staging great theat- rical enterprise and unlimited chances taken. Then, if success crowns the effort. the packer is happy. If fail- ure results, he must be prepared to smile and take his losses.
 The average owner of a large sta ble considers himself most fortunate if at the end of season of racing his winnings have been such as to make him come out even. There was one prominent New York state horse owner who, not so long ago, won Q total of s250, 900 in purses in a sin gle season, and yet he was a little out of pocket when he balanced his books.
 In the last few years the cost of everything has gone up for the horse owner as for others. Transportation for everything connected with his stable is a tremendous item. not to overlook feed, training expenses, en- try fees and forfeits, and the sal aries and maintenance of small army of employees.
 It is estimated that scarcely more than 10 per cent of the horses pur- chased and trained for racing pur- poses make good in a worth while way, and it is not uncommon for d runner WnlCnt mas cost US oWHch a cool s25,000 in purchase price, keep and training expenses, never to face the barrier. A price of s14,000 or $15, 900 for yearling of royal lineage is not out of the ordinary. though the purchaser knows that by the time the fateful second year rolls around his horse may disappoint his hopes utterly
 The manner in which new stables are springing up on all sides makes it appearas if most persons are anX- ious to become thoroughbred own CTS Every young animal that l5 from good stock or gives an indica- ton of talent is snapped up, and even platers are bringing fancy prices. Horses which a year ago couldn't be sold for $500 today are being purchased for as high as S2,500.

Ignorant Foreigners
 Who Assail America

~ PEAKING in historic Inde- |0 pendence Hall yesterday, Sen ator Knox warned the Amt4ican people against "insidious foes" who Uare seeking to undermine our insti- tutions.
 Senator Knox brought out one point that cannot be too often em- phasized in discussions of this kind. aThe people who are loudest in their denunciation of America are for eigners who have had no experience in self-government. To put it pain ly, they know nothing about it. They come here to preach fantastic doc trines, but are ignorant of what constitutes real liberty. Then the ories are untried. They are in truth the children of despotism." Having grown up in an alien envi- ronment, totally unlike that of America, thsy are striking at the Foundations of a social order which they cannot understand because many of theik have not been in the United States long enough to dis tinguish between the minor evils of our system of government and the wrongs endured under an old-world despotism. As Senator Knox said, "Bolshevism may be the heaven of the theorist crushed under the weight of cruel czarism, but it bears no relation to the incense quential defects of free govern ment."
 Men in public life and the press of the United States cannot do the nation a better service than to keep constantly before the American people the necessity of fighting against destructive radicalism.

Gadsden Wants Building
 anC Loan Association

17T7f1E Gadsden Journal makes a
 u business-like plea for the es- tablishment of building and loan association in that city. It points to the record of the association or ganized in Albany-Decatur nine years ago, which has led to the ac- quisition of more than 300 homes and is mailing out S12,O00 in divi- dends to it's stockholders.
 The Journal suggests that capi- tai is timid. That should have noth- ing to do with it, because the Sue cess of building and loan associa- tions in Birmingham, Albany-De- catur and wherever operated in the state has been uniform. They have not lost a penny of any stockhold- CTS money.
 The record of these associations is that of home building. Where they flourish most the greatest number of homes are built by home owners. They get down to the level of the citizen of moderate means and provide him with a monthly system, both for borrowing and in- vesting. -
 Gadsden cannot do better than or- ganize building and loan associa- ton. It will be good for the organ izers and good for Gadsden.
