the United States court of appeals hers today.
 The order was issued on the promise of the United States Shoe. Machinery Company to give s100. 900 bond to se- cure the public against injury as result of the suspension of the injunc- ton.
 The order of suspension will hold until January 25, when the court will hear arguments on a motion to set aside the injunction.
 The injunction, or the order sus- pending it, do not affect the merits of the antitrust suit. which may not be finally decided for two years.
 The injunction suspended was di- rected particularly against the clause in the leases on shoe machinery which gives the United Shoe Machinery Go. authority to terminate any lease if the leasing shoe manufacturer violates any provision of the lease. One provision, the government con- 1 tends, prohibits a manufacturer who leases machines from the United Shoe | Machinery company from using Q competing machine. The temporary | injunction was issued in the federal | district court here on November 10, | 1915.

 Salvation Army Kettle Beginning to

 A few bills were noticed as included on Monday in the sums dropped into the kettle of the Salvation Army workers, who have stood without fiinching through the storms and cold of the past week by their kettle near the bank building to secure the neces- sary funds with which to buy Christ mas dinners for the poor of the city. The devotion of the army workers to their self-imposed task of patiently soliciting the money so badly needed for such splendid cause is being re- warded in some degree, but four times as much money as they have received would not be too generous a return for the courage they have shown and the sacrifices they have made to get some- thing for others who are in dire need

Under temporary injunction issued by Judge Joseph c. Futile of the su- perior court, George W. Eastment as treasurer of thetown of Brooklyn. was restrained Monday from paying out any money of the town or any notes or other claim against the town with out an order drawn upon him as such treasurer by the selectmen of the town of Brooklyn or by other proper authority for such payment. Service of the writ and notice of the temporary order was by Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Aver. >
 , The action taken is another step in the interesting proceedings to deter mine whether the selemtcen or the treasurer. of the town has the authori- ty as to paying out money of the town without orders or notes being countersigned by the selectmen. Briefs from counsel representing the select men and the town treasurer are now in the hands of Judge Gardiner Greene of Norwich and the tsep taken Monday is an addition to the matter as al- ready developed.
 The information sets forth that on the second of November the treas- urer had in his possession $3,025.83 of

the funds or money of the town and that on that day, without a proper or der the proper authorities or without an adjustment and settlement by the selectmen of the town claims later described and without an order drawn on the defendant as such treasurer by the selectmen for the payment Of the said claims did illegally pay the sum of $3.025.93 to the Brooklyn Savings bank of Danielson to retire and pay two demand promissory notes for $1,- 800, and $1.200 respectively, with the interest. although the notes and inter- est had not been demanded by the Brooklyn Savings bank; and 1t is further set fort that the sum paid was needed to meet the running ex- penses of the town about to become due.
 It is also alleged that on November 15, the town. through a majority of it's selectmen drew an order upon the de- fndant as treasurer of the town to pay another note of the town and the treasurer refused to accept 1t and stat ed the selectmen were without an- thority to order him to pay the notes

"To,rsns" Lands Ttanfsr..

The United States inherited its
land laws from England, says an
exchange. They were good laws
in their time, but they are now
antiquated, cumbersome, an d
costly. At long intervals, and in
most cases after prolonged agita-
ton and earnest opposition, thir-
teen of the states of the Union
have adopted a reform so simple
and effectual that it is strange
that more of the states have not
followed their example.
Under the old system a man
who bargains for a piece of land,
whether farm or city lot, must,
if he is cautious, hire a convey
ANGER to examine the title, for
in no other way can he be sure
whether the holder of the land
has a right to sell it. If he does
not hire conveyancer, he runs
the risk of sooner or later find
ing his own right to the proper
ty attacked. If he has a quit
claim deed he must himself de-
fend his right; if he has a war
ranty deed he can throw the de-
Tense back upon the seller; but
even then he runs the risk that
the seller is not responsible, or
not solvent.
Sixty years ago Sir Robert Tor
rens, an Australian statesman,
devised the system of land regis
tration that bears his name. I'm
der it an owner registers his title
to land by state authority, and
the state guarantees the validity
of it. Thus the purchaser is re-
lieved of doubts and of a large
part of the expense of convey
ancing. 1t is a reform peculiar
ly necessary and useful in the
United States, where land chang
es hands frequently, although |
not quite so necessary in Eng
land, where leases rather than
sales are the usual method of |
transferring the right to occupy |
land.
Many persons interested in
land conveyancing have opposed
the Torrens system, and have
even Strenously contested its con-
stitutionality; but the courts
have upheld it, and it is sure ul-
timately to be adopted by all the
states.

It is a good time to take a leck.

1t is a good time to take ieck-

1t is a good time to cast up ac-

production of the crops, and
count the proceeds from the

1t is a good time to plan for the
