What It Cost to Clear Title to Land
There was case instituted in the Circuit Court
bere-on the equity side-some time ago which
illustrates to marked degree the trouble and
expense which often results in clearing up titles
to real estate which have become cl0uded and
carelessness in the execution of the necessary
deeds or other papers required by law to pass
good title upon change OF ownership In the
land.

80 acres died about 1920 interstate, leaving seven

sets of grandchildren, whose parents had pre-

heirs the late Isaiah s. Watkins purchased the

the validity of the deed were not properly COM

Some of these Guyton heirs, having left the
State, or died before confirmatOry deed could
be secured from them, it became necessary, in
order to remove the cloud upon the title, to file
within the Jurisdiction of the court, by an order
of publication, SO that their interests could be
legally bound by its decree, and to ask for the
sale OF the farm and a distribution of the pro-

Must Not Go So Fast-To Enforce the
Law.-At their meeting of Thursday the High.
ways Commissioners passed an order directing
Chief of Police STREET. to cause the arrest,
whenever practicable, of Automobiles using
the public highways for racing, or otherwise
running in reckless disregard of the rights OF
others using the county roads. The Chief was
further instructed to take the numbers of the
automobiles and report the same to the Board
in those cases where an arrest could not be
made. This action was brought about more
particularly by reason of complaints that some
automobilists coming from the city were in
the habit of using Park Heights avenue as
speedway and racing course, sometimes as
many as four of them running abreast, in
utter disregard of the rights of those using the
avenue for other purposes.
The Board expressed itself as rot being
opposed to the reasonable use of the county
highways by automobiles, but declares that
the law against racing and reckless driving
must be enforced, and that if the present warn
ing is not sufficient more drastic measures will
be taken.

AT the late Annual Conference of the M. e.
Church, held in Washington, Rev. Robert E.
Benson spoke about the proposition to es.
tablish home for homeless children in Ma.
ryland, and said that he now has an option
on a farm of 20 acres at Freeland, Baltimore
county. committee consisting of W. G.
Herbert G. e. Guthrie. J. F. Heisse, Alcaeus
HOOPER, James E. Ingram, Charles II. Benson
and Stephen Gemmill was appointed to see
what can be done in this direction and report
at the session next year. Mr.. Benson said that
the Methodist work is handicapped because it
cannot take care of homeless children like the
Catholics. He said that the farm in Maryland
could be bought for 81 500. where an ideal
home could be established. If the home is es-
tablished, children from two to ten years Of
age will be admitted, and it will be open to all
denominations.

Randallstown, I'd District.-Early on
Friday evening of last week fire broke out in
the woods on the Randall estate and burned
over q considerable area before it could be
checked. A number of young farmers hnr-
riedly assent led and, forming bucket brigade
worked like trojans until all danger was past.
1t was mainly due to their efforts that the
house, barn and other buildings on the prop
erty of DIR. H. ]. Hebb were saved. After the
fire colored man found in the burned section
a turkeys nest with seven eggs all nicely
roasted.
On Saturday, April LIST. the Randallstown
Gun Club paid visit to the Hebbville Gun
Club and participated in clay target shoot

tants for Randallstown were VIM. E. Shirley,

worthington Valley, 4th District.-Two
woods fires occurred on Monday causing some
damage. The first one was in Mr.. G. A. Coun-
cilman's woods, on the Dover road. and burn
ed over about is acres of young timber before
it could be checked. The other one was on
Mrs. Griffith's property. Both are supposed to
have been caused by traction engine that
passed along the county road just before the
fires broke out. The fire also spread to the
farm CT Col. D. G. Mcintosh, but by the prompt
action of Mr.. George Harris, who lives on the
place, it was prevented from spreading. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Churchman'S loss will be
$500, while that of Mrs. Griffith must be fully
double that. The men who fought the fire
from the time it broke out were almost over
come by their efforts.
Within the last few days Mr.. A. w. Fuss, of
this valley, has shipped several carloads of
fine fat steers to the Baltimore market
Mr.. Frank King, contractor, and force of
men is now at work on Mr.. Charles A. Coun-
