New Rates on Abstracts Af-
Testing Every Real Estate
Man and Property Owner
in Lake County Goes Into
Effect.

The Altman Gary Title company and
the Lake County Title and Guarantee
company have come to an understand
ing regarding the charge for chancery
work, the fling of mortgages and deeds
and the sale of certificates which ad-
vances the rate of charges from 33 to
100 per cent.
The reason given for increasing the
charges is that abstract work has be-
come so complicated and the cost of
maintaining offices and efficient office
help has increased to such an extent
that there is no money in the business
at the present rate of charge.
The new schedule of prices which
will go into effect next month are as
follows:
Approve New Schedule.
Chancery work increased from rs
cents to 81 per page
Mortgages and deeds increased from
so cents to 81.
Certificates increased from so cents
to 81.
Certificates on individual abstracts
increased from 81 to So.
1t is claimed that these charges are
s3 per cent less than they are in Cook
county.
Fred Mott of Hammond, the presi-
dent of the Lake County Title and
Guarantee company. today confirmed
the report that the cost of abstracting
work is to increase and that the All
man Gary company would put the same
increase into effect

TALKS TO COLLEGE GIRLS
President Points Out One Danger Of
Higher Education.

Philadelphia, June 3.-"There is
one danger of a college education and
four years life under college infiu-
ences that 1t seems to me wise to
warn against 1t Is the danger of dis
content with the surroundings OF the
home to which college girl goes
back after graduation and the yielding
to the feeling that her own town or
city does not offer to her the oppor-
tnnities to which she Is entitled to in
the use of the education which she
has acquired" said President Taft In
addressing the graduates Of Bryn
Mawr college on "Woman's College
Education" He continued:
ut gives her, after she is settled at
home again, mil admirari' spirit, .
longing for something she does not
have, spirit Of criticism toward ev-
erything which surrounds her and q
consequent inability to contribute to
the happiness Of those with whom she
lives or comes In contact. This In
not the right result Of the higher edu-
cation"

SHARP LANGUAGE IS USED
Members of Upper House of Congress
Show Anuer.

Washington, June 3.-During a dis
cussion with Senator Sutherland on
one of his amendments to the railroad
bill in the senate Senator La Toilette
told the Utah senator In sharp lam
guage that he would be called to ac-
count for his record.
In language just as sharp Suther-
land replied that he already had had
such experience and he was willing to
meet it again.
An amendment to the bill offered
by Senator Overman, regulating the
suspension of state laws by the issu-
ance of injunctions in interlocutory
proceedings in federal courts, was
adopted, 33 to 2S. 1t prohibits such a
course except after hearing by three
judges.
An amendment offered by Senator
Burton requiring the interstate com
merce commission to report concern
ing uniform classifications and an
other by La Toilette requiring rail.
roads to keep in Washington agents
who may accept service also were
adopted.
The Crawford amendment modify
ing the commodity clause of the Hep
burn act of 1906 was defeated by a
viva voce vote.
