Postponement Of the sale Of govern

Coal and Oil
Make Hot FueL

Researchers are experimenting with
a new liquid fuel which Is so percent
coal, 40 percent oil. The oil helps with
the hquefaction and increases the
heat. The resulting fire hotter than
Is possible with either coal or oil alone.
Coal is dissolved by using furfural,
a low-cost chemical derived from farm
waste. Acid treatment removes ash
and other matter before the liquid
coal Is mixed with oil.
Many uses Of the product are fore
seen. Research men say the fuel viii
increase the cruising range Of ships
and reduce fire risks, since the fuel
can be stored under water seal. 9th
ers predict the liquid can be utilized
in making resins and plastics.

DOOdGds Make
Wildcats Tame

Today's oil drilling devices stump
old-timers. They call them "doodads"
but admit they have their points.
In their day, old-timers say, every
sand that looked promising was
cored- Wildcatters didn't think the job
was done right unless they shifted
every cutting that looked as though
it might carry oil or gas.
But today An operator tells the
driller the depth he wants the hole
to go, and flies away In his airplanel
The hole is drilled straight down and
drillers never look up until the correct
depth is reached. Then they bring In
an electric doodad They run it up
and down the hole and If it has the
jimmies they set line Of casing. per-
forate it and bring In the well.
It's too easy, they think, but folks
who know, say the doodad is better
than the old plan of testing the sand

When you buy a home, or any
other real estate, you should know
that the title Cthe right Of posses
sion and ownership is good. In
order to determine this, every in
strument and proceeding in the
public records affecting the title
to the particular property, from
the United States Patent down to
the date Of your purchase. must
be examined and its legal effect
determined.
The records are voluminous and
consist Of deeds, mortgages, con-
tracts, releases, judgments, suits
foreclosing mortgages and other
liens, bankruptcy. insanity and
probate proceedings, other suits Of
various character, tax and assess
ment records, and many others.
In Pierce county the auditors
records contain more than 800, 900
instruments, the office Of the coun-
ty clerk more than one hundred
thousand law suits, more than 40
thousand probates Of deceased and
incompetent persons and many
thousands OF judgments. Numer-
Gus other public offices contain
records vital to real estate titles.
From this mass of records must
be selected those items which con-
Germ the title to the particular
piece Of real estate you are buy
ing.

where all this material is catalogu-
ed and indexed in such manner
that the skilled workers Of the

When assembled, experts. who
are skilled in real estate law, ex-
anime these items and an under

The company then issues its
