General Land Office Report
Reveals Day of Pioneer
Is Not Gone.
BY the Associated Press.


The day of the pioneering home
steader still is here.
Citizens of the United States, seeking
more room or urged on by the adven-
ture of wrestling with new land, filed
patents on 4,6l2,722 acres of public do
main during 1929.
The General Land Office revealed In
it's annual report yesterday that it does
a land Office business in fact as well
as in theory. Over 10000 persons filed
claims on land during the year. and in
addition the organization collected
over $4,000, 900 accruing to the Govern
ment from public land activities.
Total receipts under the mineral leas-
ing act, which included oil lands, ag-
gregated So, 1878. The low price OF
oil during the year cut this income
somewhat, but receipts from other
sources were increased.
Among the other outstanding accom-
plishments of the General Land Office
during the year was the cancellation of
8.906 permits to prospect for oil under
the Hoover oil conservation program.
Leases resulting from discovery of oil or
coal on the public domain were granted
to las persons.
Surveyors for the service surveyed
over 100000 acres during the year and
made field examinations in 1898 cases
to determine whether the leasing and
homesteading laws were being observed.

square our shoulders, and give us
something intimate and personal to
improve, protect and defend against
all comers. 1t is the seed which
terminates into that pride of pos

unitedly in solid phalanx against
anything and everything that may
happen to invade our national peace,
and thus interfere with those things
we hold most dear-our families and
or homes.

in borrowing whatever amount OF

Act As Guard
The home owner can do more to
guard against arguments, misunder-
standing and disappointments
through properly constructed speci-
fications than through aay othef
medium.
In dwelling construction, whcr"
ali architect is employed, he usually
acts as the owners agent in com
posing adequate specification, but
when the owner deals directly with
the building contractor, he must as
sumo responsibility for his inter
ests in the specifications
Specifications may be used in in
terpreting the intentions Of the
contracting parties, in ease of
law suit. They are also of general
advantage to banks and building
and lean companies, in financing
home. -
AS specifications are the technical
picture of what the owner expects
to get for his money, they deserve
his most careful attention and
every detail should be thought out
with such care, in advance, as To
make changes, which are often very
costly, unnecessary.

use OF PAINT
AS ANCIENT AS
HISTORY ITSELF

Old as history itself is the us,
OF paint and yarnish. Fundament
ally preservativcs, they have long
served many purposes. As far back
as the days of the cave dwcllers,
paint decorated the walls ~ mems
homes. The Egyptians, the ISLANDERS
OF Crete, the Pompeiians and other
peoples whose civilizations have left
their imprint on world history, bcalL
titled their dwellings and their teDi-
pIes with color. And in these early
days we also find record Of the use
of paint as "a preservative. AOah's
ark is described as "pitched within
and without" ARMED against invad-
irg floods. And the Urceks, too,
applied preservative to their ships,
boiled wax after which, writes
Pliny, "neitber the seq nor the wind
nor the sun can destroy the wood
thus protected"
Thus the primary uses Of paint
and sarnish-to preserve and 10
beautify-were well known to the
ancicnts. After these thousands OF
years these materials, as developed
today, are the best preservatives
known the foundation Of color and
beauty. In addition, they give Us
healthier and better lighted homes;
surroundings that arc more cheerful
as well as more artistic. M
AS prfservatives, paint, varnisli,
lacquer and enamel save US millions
of dollars yearly. For they prevent
r wood from weathering aud metal
from corroding. BY forming u

ment" plan for the purchase Of a
home has everything to recommend
it and nothing against it. The plan
has proved itself to be both con
venience and a blessing to the aver
age American.
Value Increase
Provided that a home is well
planned, well built and well kept,
it usually has a higher market value
by the time it is paid for than when
the "down" payment was made,
which is another good reason for
buying on credit when We have not
the necessary cash available. The
home if properly cared for, is not
truthfully made about most things
that are sold on time payments.
While endorsing without reserve
the act of going into debt for a
home, we cannot with anything like
the same enthusiasm, do tho same
thing for other forms of instailment
buying. a.
Credit is very useful servant,
but when we allow it to become our
master, we are acting quite unwiss-
ly. Credit in reason for necessities,
or for emergencies, has much to CON-
mend it, but we keep our credit in
the best condition when we are
careful to avoid placing any undue
strain upon it. Credit is easy to
lose and difficult to regain. The
same as any other treasure it should
te handled carefully and with due
regard for its worth. 1t is good
substitute for cash but never quite
its equal The cash customer always
has the advantage.

If You do, have you ever thought
about finishing the attic and using
it for guest bedroom or two, ii
chldren's playroom, or game room

sewing room for mother.
Today, you know, you can make
your attic suitable for any one of
these uses and others besides at
moderate cost. Thousands have done
it, thus adding at least one new and
delightful room to the house.
There are two disadvantages that
