The valorization scheme included
the idea that none Of the valorization
coffee should be sold on the New York
coffee exchange. The organization
fixes the price of coffee every day.
There are nine grades of coffee COM
ing into the New York market, all cof-
fee being graded by a set Of experts,
according to standardized samples.
The basis price Is on what Is known as
No. coffee, all the other per centages
being reckoned from that. But the
prices fixed by the exchange committee
are determined largely by the quantity
of coffee on the market in the ex-
change. Knowing this, the valorization
people do not offer their coffee on the
exchange, but sell 1t at auction and at
private sales away from New York.
That maintains the proper degree Of
scarcity on the exchange and the con-
comitant high price.
II one charges up the entire rise In
coffee prices to the valorization scheme
can coffee drinker. 1t is true that 1t
has meant a small increase in the cost
Of a cup Of coffee-some one has esti-
mated that 1t has amounted to one cent
for each 1000 cups Of coffee drunk in
the United States-but in the aggre-
gate it Is estimated that our annual
coffee bill has been increased nearly
00,0O0,O00 as a result Of the valoriza-
tion plans Of the Brazilian government.
Not only the government Of Brazil
and the bankers who financed the VAL
orization scheme, but the Brazilian
coffee planter as well, has made huge
sums out Of the scheme. The worlds
production of coffee amounts to more
than 2,250,000,000 pounds year. The
increase of eight cents a pound that
has taken place since Brazil undertook
the valorization scheme now amounts
to an additional wholesale value In the
worlds coffee crop of nearly $200,000,-
900 a year.
One Is safe In assuming that the
Brazilian coffee planter Is an euthusl-
astic advocate of valorization. It has
so enhanced the value of his product
that he now is able to realize profit Of
something like 200 per cent on the cof-
fee he grows, after paying all the ex-
penses of production and shipment
to the markets Of the world.
The world never has seen such
remarkably successful effort to create
artificial conditions and artificial prices
in any commodity of worldwide use.

A Coiner of Words.-There used to
be war veteran in Owen county, Ken
lucky who was always running for
office and never getting 1t. He was
candidate by profession, breeding
and instinct He also had the gift
of tongues, says the Saturday Even
ing Post. When he needed a word
and couldn't find it he made up one
out of his head and went right on.
Once i'm delivering an impromptu eu-
logy over a dead resident Of his town,
he said to them:
And, finally, our friend was above
all, man of great migosity and gen.
eral understanding throughout the
neighborhood."
At another time he was making the
race for county judge. He and his
opponent were holding a joint debate.
He thought some of the other mans
statements rather reflected on him.

THE ToRRENs SYSTEM.
Constitutional Amendment Under Dis
cussion in Ohio.

Constitutional Amendment Under LIS
eussion in Ohio.
The sixteenth proposal on the con-
stitutional ballot has been common
ly called the Torrens amendment.
The word Torrens, however, does
not appear in the text. The amend
ment in full follows:
Laws may be passed providing for
| insuring and guaranteeing land titles
by the state or by the counties
thereof, and for settling and de-
termining adverse or other claims
to and interests in, lands the titles
guaranteed, and for the creation and
collection of guaranty funds by fees
to be assessed against lands, the IT,
ties to which are registered and ju-
| dicial powers with right Of appeal
may by law be conferred upon coun-
ty recorders or other officers In
matters arising under the operation
of such system.
It has been called the Torrens
amendment probably because the Tor
rens system of land registration Is
the only one generally recognized.
Yet the field Is not limited, and II
in the future any system Is found to
compete with the Torrens it will be
entitled to a hearing.
Were the amendment indorsed, the
details Of the plan would, of course
remain for the legislature to work
out. There is, however, a general
procedure under the Torrens system
which has become virtually stand
ard.
| AS many know, the Torrens system
was devised by Sir Robert Rich
ard Torrens, premier Of South Aus
tralia in 1857, for the judicial regis
tration of titles to land. The idea
received a quick acceptance in many
parts of the world. Ohio had Tor
rens law at one time, but the supreme
court declared it invalid.
In general, procedure under Tor
rens law, the enactment of which
would be possible under the proposed
i SOlloioto III Gil oPPAS~
ton to the designated court by per-
son interested for the registration OF
his title to some property. The title
is examined and certified by an off,
cial examiner The state is then made
a defendant in any suit involving the
validity Of that title.
The result claimed for the Torrens
system Is that a new and indefeasible
title in land Is created by the state.
| Only one search Of title Is required,
the present multiplication Of searches
with successive transfers being abol-
ished
| This amendment Is permissive. 1t
obviates the difficulty which caused
the loss Of the other Torrens law in
Ohio. Some. six or eight states. as
we'll as a number of foreign nations,
have Torrens laws. Under the amend
ment, it would remain for the legis-
lature to prepare law to meet the
will of its state wide constituency.
It would probably be years before
the whole system could be put into
| operation.
| Proposal No. 16 should be adopted.

stands out spectacularly among the
wonders of a century of invention.
Wilbur Wright, with his brother,
Orville, dreamed of building a craft
that would dart through the air with
the speed of hawk, that would defy
the storm, that would transform the
art of warfare and revolutionize meth
DDS of transportation. In the nine
years that followed their first success
full test at Kittyhawk, NC, they have
seen their aeroplane driven more than
two miles up into space, have heard
the purr of their machines as they
whirled on their way across the tonti-
nent and have watched great crowds
stand aghast in anticipation as a grace
full biplane scared threateningly over
the fighting mast of giant warship
which might have been sent careening
to destruction by bomb from the
tiny machine lowering above it.
When death smote Wilbur, he and
his brother still were dreaming of fur
Their achievements, their chief interest
being centered in the making of a ma
chine that would possess more stability
and increased carrying power.
1t was while Wilbur was in high
school at Richmond, Ind, and Day
ton, o., that the brothers began max
ing definite plans for an aeroplane. A
few years later they embarked in the
bicycle selling and repairing business
at Dayton. In their shops they found
plenty of opportunity for experiments
and when gasoline engine was per-
fected in the automobiles rapid strides
they saw a dawEing light. In 1902 the
brothers had built their first air ma
chine and in 1903 they went to re-
mote section near Kittyhawk, n. c.,
where they could try out their inven-
ton. With Orville Wright in the BIZ
plane, Wilbur and his mechanics wit
messed the first successful fight of
heayier-than-ai machine. The story
reached the world, but the brothers,
characteristically silent, kent mum
until two years later when at Dayton,
o., Orville Wright made the first long
distance fight.
This was the beginning of the end of
their struggles. The machine was
patented throughout Europe and both
brothers were forced to tour The CONT

WILBUR WRIGHT
DIES OF FEVER
Father of the Birdmen Dies a
Natural Death at His
Home.

Dayton, O.. May 30.-Following
grim battle against hopeless odds,
Wilbur Wright, Dayton's noted bird
man, died at $685. this morning of ty-
phoid fever. Death came after the
distinguished patient had fingered for
days and nights in the throes of
burning fever.
Taken ill with typhoid fever several
weeks ago, Wright had been lingering
on the border for many days, and
though his condition from time to
time gave some hopes to members of
his family, the attending physicians
maintained throughout the latter part
of his illness that he could not recover.
Mr.. Wright was taken ill May 4,
while on business trip to the East.
On that day he returned to Dayton
from Boston and consulted Or. Conk-
lin, the family physician. He went to
bed Immediately but it was several
days before his case was definitely di-
agnosed as typhoid. Throughout the
early part OF his illness Mr.. Wright
believed he was suffering as result of
some fish he had eaten at a Boston
hotel.

reer is the story of man who followed
