| Business
Slowing Down
In Land Office
By the Associated Press.

Dy tHe Associated PreSS.
A survey showed today that the
old American expression-"Doing a
land Office business isn't what
most folks think it is.
Meet a man whose trade is brisk
and ask him how things are, and
more times than not he'll reply
I'm doing land Office business"
But things are not so brisk at
the Federal Land Office, whence
the expression comes. In fact, it's
going to take the workers so years
more to complete the map of the
United States begun in 1882.
This doesn't mean the Land Office
is slow, but merely that the Nation
is big-roughly 5000 miles by 1000
miles.
The expression came into the ver-
nacular back in the days of West
ward-ho, when Americans were
stampeding to homestead. In those
days the Land ONCE was busy.
Now the map work has slowed
down to tedious calculation, check
ing. double checking and then re-
checking to turn out annually one
OF the most nearly perfect pieces of
Government printing.
