The United States Geological Sur
vey is placing even greater emphasis
this year upon its work of classifying
and valuing public coal lands. The
national policy of promoting the
most advantageous disposal of the
public lands li rnntlniml nn.W
Secretary Balllnger and by his in
structions the director of the survey
is transmitting to the commissioner
of the general land office land classi
fications based uion the reports of
findings of the field geologists. To
the fullest extent poaMble under the
law the effort is to secure the wisest
utilization of the resources of the
public domain. -
Recently enacted legislation gives
to the agricultural entryman, whose
entry was made prior to the passage
of the act, the privilege of electing
to take the surface rights, while the
coal rights ate reserved for future and
separate disposition. The chief of the
Denver field division of the general
land office reports that from informa
tion received in his office 90 per cent
of the Colorado entrymen in areas
supposed to contain coal will elect
to take title to the surface, reserving
to the I'nited States ha coal right.
This alone indicates the value and
wisdom of this legislation, which Is
the first important amendment of the
cosi land act along the lines urged
by Mr. Halllnger in lirt7, when com
missioner of the general land office.
If the entryman, on the other hand,
chooses to contest, then the issue be
comes one of rlative worth between
agricultural anl coal values.
Is spent in bed What did you pay for the mattress?
In bed we laugh, in bed we cry;
And born in bed, in bed we die;
The near approach a bed may show
Of human bliss or hun an woe. .
Do you recognize the importance of the mattress?
Do you select it with the same care you do the other
comforts of home? Have you ever stopped to consider
that in this age of advancement it has recieved little
attention little improvement was made until the re
nowned Sealy Mattress was invented? This marked
the entry of a new era in mattress making.
The Sealy Mattress is different! Features that
stand out in bold contrast: First successful and only
Non-Tuffed Mattress; First mattress made along
tcientific lines, Constructed of one single bat of long
staple cotton, Without Tuft or Binding. See this won
derful mattress now on exhibition at our store. The
success of the century. Let. us explain its merits.
