DESIGNS IN DRAPERIES
STYLES OFFERED GIVE HOUSE.
WIVES A WIDE CHOICE.
For Summer Curtains, Goodness ano
Fresh Appearance Is All Import
ant-Cretonne or Chlntz Sash
Are the Present Favorltes.

The city housekeeper who must stay
In town all summer does not bother
with draperies. Her sole need is air
and If she be sensible she sticks to
undraped windows and doors. For
the suburban and country house, how
ever, curtaining Is all important.
Never has the choice of these been
wider or more artistic than this sea-
son, and the woman who must recur-
tain her house or furnish a new one
Is to be envied.
In selecting summer curtains two
things are important: The fabrics
chosen must be cool and fresh looking
and they must be washable Heavy
draperies are inartistic, because they
are inappropriate. This eliminates
brocades, silks and satins, velvets and
wool.
In curtaining a summer house
choose nothing that will be ruined by
open windows. Where double cur.
tains are used they should be easily
manipulated on the rods.
OnieSs bedroom mas plenty OF WIN
dows double curtains should not be
used. Some housekeepers prefer the
cretonne or chintz sash curtains.
These hang to the sill and work loose
ly on rods. While they shut out more
air than the net or lace curtain they
darken room better, and If properly
hung can be pushed into small COM
pass at night.
There Is fancy now for the val
ance across the top Of the window.
This may be ten-inch rufile run on a
rod; but the shaped and stiffened val
ance Is enjoying quite revival.
In treating any window or door, re-
member the simpler the effect and the
straighter the lines the better taste.
Pulled and much draped hangings are
bad form.
For these heavy curtains or dra-
peries are shown a variety Of printed
chintzes, taffetas-linen and cotton.
and cretonnes of foreign and domes-
tic make. The coloring Of even the
cheaper grades Is artistic and one
can find flowers, foliage and birds in
any desired color. The English glazed
chintz is especially effective and
washes well. Its chief objection Is
easy wrinkling.

THE TORRENS LAND SYSTEM
WHICH JUDGE JONES FAvORS

Judge Ira b. Jones has endorsed the
Torrens system of land registration.
For two years bill of this kind has
been before the Legislature and did
not get through. We hope that, when
Judge Jones gets comfortably seat
ed In the governors office, he will
take this matter up with the legisla-
ture and push 1t through.
The Torrens system proposes once
and for all to look up title-to
settle the questions of the past and
to assure the present owner that his
title is good. 1t will save lawyers fees
and will guarantee the title. No law
yer will do that now.
AS matters now stand, every time
a piece of land is sold or mortgaged
a lawyer has to go over the same
ground that was gone over the last
time the land was sold or mortgaged.
And every lawyer so doing gets his
fee.

This Is the momentous question of
today; and which appeals to the seri-
Gus consideration of every citizen of
Laurens County. Every good man
ought to look out for the future well
fare OF self and family. If he were
moving into new community, would
he not first look into the religious and
educational advantages of that sec
tion? If it had none would he risk
the rearing of his family in such
section? No! Since the days of Mos
es, who has ever stood between the
wrath of the Lord and the sins of his
people? In all sacred and profane
history, who has been the advocate of
all reformation in church and State?
The Preachers! Do you candidly think
they would stand for cause that
was hurtful to their church and coun-
try? In this present campaign who
should the members of churches vote
for? Our ministers most to man
are for Judge Jones. Do you think
they are on the wrong side? If not,
then follow them! If you get into Sc
rious trouble and affiiction, who Is the

was mortgaged. Some attorney did
then just what L did last week. Year
before that, this land was purchased
by another man. Again a lawyer had
to go over the same ground. Every
time 1t was mortgaged some lawyer
went over the same ground. l sup
pose Investigations OF the title to this
lot had cost all told about 5000 and
20 days time. The tax valuation of
the lot was less than $1,000. In 9TH
er words, probably one-fifth of the
tax value OF the land had been spent
In title Investigations.
What the Torrens system pro-
poses Is to close up the past; to go
over the title once for ali, and to
put an end to the expense and waste
OF time required by this eternal pro-
cession OF lawyers going over the
same beaten path, each taking a fee
for his work. One lawyer will not
and should not take another's state
ment OF title; but any lawyer will
take the states or county's judicial
assurance Of title.
so the sum Of the proposition is
that the state or county shall employ
lawyer to look up titles, and SO far
as possible clear. them of question
(by judicial process, of course) and
have the land owners pay the state
once and forever for "tho saryican

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-04-01

Marie Bovard, 7-year-old refu-
gee, recently returned from Mex
ico. She was very much attach
ed to the canary perched on her
shoulder, and carried the little
pet throughout the entire fight
to this country.
Little Miss Marie .Bovard has
encountered exciting experiences
at the age of I that are seldom
met with during a lifetime. She
rode, 80 miles to the, railroad in
Mexico for. her life on the back of
a mule. +
On the night of March 10, DR..
P. S. sBovard, his wife and daugh-
ter were forced to flee from Tor
reon, the capital of the state of
Coahhuila, while the town was
being stormed by rebels swept
by hail of rifle fire and the Bo-
wards were compelled to sneak
out the back way, making their
escape in a wagon drawn by four

miles, distant, and the nearest
railroad station on route lead,
ing into the United States. The
entire journey was through a
country swarming with rebels
and bandits, and had it not been
for Pablo LAWN, a rebel chieftain
who befriended the party, they
would never have come through
alive. - y
LAWN halted them just out of
Torreon and discovered that
Bovard and he had gone to the
University of California togeth-
er four years ago, so, with a
guard of picked men he escorted
the party to the outskirts of San
Pedro, where he left them, be-
cause there is a price upon the
head of every rebel chief.
A short distance out of Tor
reon, the road became impossible
on account of violent rains, and
they were forced to abandon the
wagon and ride bareback on the
mules.
Il shall never forget the ex-
perience," said Bovard. Every
few miles we would meet body
of men, sometimes but a hand
full, but at other times there
would be over a score. LAWN was
kept busy explaining away OBJ
jections made to our proceedings
by the outlaws.
From San Pedro we contin-
ued on by train and after innum-
cradle delays on account of
