Tips On
Titles
A MAN

- u AS1SS
A MAN
came rushing into our office and
wanted an Abstract in hurry. He
seemed TO think we kept them on
hand and could pass the one he
wanted right over TO him. 1t was the
first time he had ever required an
Abstract. He had an opportunity to
make an investment which gave
promise of rich returns. 1t was an
unusual chance. He had no ready
money so had gone to his bank to get
1t by placing a mortgage upon his
land. The bank, according to its Gus
tom, demanded an Abstract and re-
terred him TO us. Now the man had
lived on this land. He had paid good
money for it. He held a Warranty
Deed. He thought it was his. 1t
was, but there was a "Cloud upon the
Title" which had to be cleared be-
fore he could obtain any money upon
his land. There were defects in the
instruments as recorded which could
be remedied only by decree of the
Court. This required time. Mean
while the opportunity for the promls-
ing investment had passed.
This is not fiction. 1t is not even
exceptional. 1t is the sort of thing
that is occurring repeatedly.
You own land in Hood River
County. You intend, some day, to
have it covered by an Abstract.
Why Not Now1 There is nothing
to be gained by delay and may be
much to lose. 1t matters not what
you think about your land, your
title Is only as good as the records
show. The business of the Alb
stracter is to give you the record of
your title.
Some people seem afraid to enquire
into the title to their land. They
prefer to play ostrich" and try to
think there can be nothing the trouble
with it. When the day comes, as it
surely will, that they must have an
Abstract they are disappointed that
they have to wait for the Abstracter
to do his work But they can't blame
the abstracter. 1t takes time to pre-
pare correct and complete Abstract.
Besides there are always other hurry
orders ahead which must be finished
before new work is begun. 1t is even
more annoying to learn that the title
you thought good is imperfect. The
trouble may be slight and of nature
which could be readily removed, but
still sufficient to cause an exasperat-
ing delay at time when one wishes
to make quick sale or raise monev
upon mortgage.
Be wise enough to have your Alb.
stract made NOW, while there is no
urgent need for prompt action.
Come in and talk to us about it, we
may be able to make few sugges-
tions OF benefit to you.
We have been searching Hood
River Titles since 1885, and il there
is flaw in the Title we can find it.

ROUMANIAN JEWS
GIVEN CITIZENSHIP

Berlin, Aug. 20.-The Roumanian
government which promised to confer
citizenship on Jews who served in the
army in the recent campaign against
Bulgaria seems bent, according to the
Tageblatt on restricting its action to
the narrowest limit.
The Roumanian war Office has just
served notice on several Jews that
they were illegally mustered and Will
be sent home. The governments
favor, therefore, if limited to actual
soldiers, will affect only fifteen thou
sand regulars of the 100000 Jewish
population.

In The RELIGIOUS World;

Attempting to exchange dependence
for independence. slavery for freedom
the very depths of the souls of these
Jews would be searched Their leader
had the problem Of fitting them fol
self-sovereignty. They were in the con
dition of the debased type of citizen
of whisky, a dollar or job. Of course
they we're poor stuff, and we scarcely
marvel that even meek Moses lost his
temper over them. Now he had them
in the wilderness where they were to
be kept in training for forty long
years, to get the slavespirit and the
reek of Egypt out of their system;
just as infected persons are kept in
quarantine for a prescribed period.
The process was at times hard on the
Jews. but it was for their health. They
were what is termed in athletics
"soft,' and they needed to go into
training.
The Grumbiers.
These Israelites wanted Canaan -
by the parlor car route. They resem-
bled the host Of young men with vague
dreams of success who are unwilling
to pay the price Of toll and self-denial.
The emancipated Jews thought to
reach their goal without hardship.
When trouble came, they grumbled at
Moses. But, then, one Of the principal
uses of leader is to take the blame
of his followers for their own short
comings.
BY the Bitter Springs.
The first loud growl OF the 1sraelites
arose when the found the spring at
Marah bitter. They wanted all the
comforts of home In the wilderness.
Their protest was childish and un-
reasoning. But the patient leader
sweetened the water for them. The
incident has come to stand for the bit
ter waters Of grief, of which we all
mus: drink. It suggests these observa-
tons:
Marah was on the way to Canaan.
We should be grateful for every land
mark that Is on the way home.
Better far to have drunk at Marah
than to have died thirsting for life.
We come to the sweet by way of
the bitter.
Bitter experiences Outlines sweet
en- life; while wholly sweet expert
ences may embitter It.
1t is easy to sing over the crossing
of the Red Sea; 1t takes faith to be
glad for the bitter experiences.
There are no bitter springs of ex-
perience that God cannot make sweet

son for August ~ is 1.-THE Bread
From Heaven."- Elk. IS: 27.16:36.
(By William T. Ellis.)

Today finds the message for to-
morrow in yesterday. What has
been is the guide for what is to be.
The chief function Of history is to
serve as a sign-board. This west
ern nation, setting out on untried
ways, confronted by many perplexities,
may we'll go to school to the Hebrew
nation at it's beginnings, more than
three thousand years ago. For there
are great patriotic and social lessons
bound up in that experience, even as
there are admonitions for the in
dividual life.
1t was all question Of the wisdom
of going forward in new and untr1ed
ways. Is such q national experiment
wise; or is it not better to endure the
Ills we know, than to fly to those We
know not Of? Shall we adhere to the
old conditions, even though evil,
rather than risk the hardships that
are involved In the attainment of the
new? Have we the courage to throw
off the old Jokes, and dare the untried
ways? Before they were month out
Of Egypt the Jews were beVailing
their folly in having left the certain
comforts Of slavery.
Although they knew it not-any
more than we know it today-the chill
dren of Israel were being tested. Their
fitness for the blessings of liberty and
self-government was being probed.
They thought they were Judging Moses
and Jehovah, although all the while
they were being judged themselves.
Judgments Judge the judgers. What q
man says about another is often chief.
iy Illuminating for what 1t reveals
about himself
tsoftened by Slavery.
Let US 60 gently here, and not pour
the Walls of our condemnation upon
these whimpering exiles. They we're
only a month out Of slavery. Their
condition had robbed them Of yirile
manhood. The worst thing about
slavery is that it gives people the souls
of slaves. Now the Jews would have
to pay the price of having had some
body else do their thinking and plan
ming and providing for them during
the long generations under the lash.
This is the factor in the negro ques-
ton which Is too often ignored.
