HOW NOT TO. ENTERTAIN

with feeling that they had received

CATION put 1t definitely this way as
reported by the Gazette: A..
There was baseball game-the
Legionnaires visited the ball park
and were charged the full price OF
admission; there was a Rodeo--
where the process was repeated, at a
somewhat increased rate; there was
a pavement dance in the evening,
where Ell Doradoans mOnopolized
the space and crowded the visitors
into the background. Whenever a
Buddy, by exerting little physical
strength, managed to get inside the
ropes and invited girl to dance
with him, he was told, sniftily Il
don't care to dance with soldiers" "
FL Dorado may have plenty OF oil,
but her manners are dripping with
grease. In an old Book which her citi-
gems have evidently not read, there
is an explicit injunction to offer the
strangers "a drink Of cold water,

there would be 5000 expended OF

Ia solved.
/ "Abilene Is again frontier, and
gain has the opportunity and the
responsibility, Of pushing that' from
tier westward"
| 1t IN probable that Mr.. Watson
has been misquoted by some entbu-
siastic press agent. lie Is not only
high class engineer and thor
oughly competent official but he Is
entirely familiar with the condi-
tions In this county. Building Of
roads is not up to the business men,
except that they are taxpayers and
have a right to their opinions as
such. The Solomon Abilene road
has been petitioned for by the dis
trict and the petition approved
nothing more Is needed except for
the commissioners to let the contract,
II the district demands 1t that ac-
ton will be taken and the present
condition OF the road ought to make
most anybody demand 1t.
It is likewise nonsense to say that
"good dirt road" can be kept up west
of Solomon. The Solomon -Salina
road is not, never was and cannot
be made q good dirt r0ad--it is pre- +,
cisely the same bottomland soil as
all down the Smoky Hill river. West
of Brookville comes the hills and
there are good dirt roads but from
Brook vile east the road Is disgrace
and always has been since the heavy
motor and truck traffic began.
The frontier" is not at Abilene
1t Is in Riley. Pottawatomie and Wa
baunsee counties where ruts, rocks,
mudholes and badly maintained
roads intervene bet ween the 45 miles
of paving east Of Abilene and the
rs miles west from Kansas City. II
Mr.. Watson and the State Journal
want to do some missionary work !
getting n paved road from
central Kansas TO New York by 1928
which will be completed except for
the counties mentioned--let them
get In their work on Saline, Riley,
Potta watomie and Waub baunsee
counties. They are the counties that
have shown no pride In good roads.
Dickinson has done its part. 1t is
not up to Abilene in any sense or in
any form--and no westward road
building will help while 40 miles OF
mud remains east OF Camp Funston.

BETTER TITLES NEEDED


Some day Kansas Is going to have
some Legislation. along the line Of
titles. There are no titles to proper
ty anymore. All there IL according
to the lawyers who examine the alb
stracts are flaws and technicalities.
The average transaction In real
property requires anywhere from
three to six months or even years to
straighten out. Kansas needs law
that will clean up the slate. After
a person outside Of minors and In
sane, has let u fine piece Of proper
ty drift for 8 years without assert
ing any claim he ought to be totally
barred from claiming any right, title
interest, estate or equity In or to any
part or parcel thereof, as the lawyers
say. In many cases Il five year per-
iod would clean up many of the
technicalities that now hold up titles
Often niispelied names, failure OF
Notary to state when Commission
expires, or failure to properly affi1
dates, or errors In recording, al
thirty-five or forty years ago come
up as a cloud on title and 1t takes
anywhere from 0 months to a yea
to settle the matter. We believe
Kansans have sense enough to in
vent some system that will make
the transfer or the title to property
as easily accomplished as any othe
negotiable paper. Bless your hear
we haven't remedy, but It is some
thing for some Of the smart fellow
to think about and it would work al
incalculable benefit to the people o
