''TlTLE TALKS" GIVES EDuCA-
TIONAL CAMPAIGN ABOUT
TITLES AND ABSTRACTS

For several months past the Free
mont County Abstract company of
which Mr.. A. c. Dickinson is the sec
rotary, has been publishing in both
the Daily and Weekly Record series
of educational stories in reference 10
the protection, advantage and wisdom
OF getting abstracts and the proper
knowledge in reference to the title
to real estate.
The series have been written by
experience in handling the necessary
procedure relative to passing title to
land The different chapters have
been dealing with every possible
phase concerning an abstract of title
and have been followed closely by
many people who are willing to learn
about things of which they know lit
tie.
AS an instance, in Title Talk No.
Mr.. Dickinson says:
A few years age the site where the
Lincoln school building now stands
in District No. l was purchased by
the school board without an abstract
of title
Several years later they found
there was a mortgage on the land
and the school district had to pay
the purchase price second time.
This transaction was made with
out the safety clutch'-an abstract.
Had an abstract been demanded
the tax payers would have been saved
this extra expense
again, a few years ago, lincoln
Park man wanted to borrow some
money on his home; he had an abb
stract, and when it was examined he
found his title very imperfect.
1T was fortunate that this was
found out while the people interested
still lived.
mo person should purchase prop
erty or take mortgage without first
having an abstract"
This talk has much food for
thought INIT and it was the means
of making many land holders investi-
gate tEeir titles and get on the safe
side.
Again in talk No. Mr.. Dickinson
says:
1t often happens that a man dies
owning real estate without having
made his will.
THE title to such land passes by
force of law to the heirs of the de-
ceased. They each then hold an un-
divided interest. If there are five the
deed Of four will not hold a perfect
title.
"Such an incomplete conveyance is
often the source of endless trouble.
Should the purchaser not happen
to know of the fifth heir, he may be
unconscious of the 6aw in his title
and may be evicted years afterwards.
though no fault of his own. or be
compelled to pay an exhorbitant sum
for this interest.
Take no such chances. Demand
an abstract"

reason why the work of searching
out the title should be given to the
Title Man. 1t states:
You would not undertake to fix
your telephone when it gets out of
order; nor would you risk your own
hands to mending the broken plumb
ing.
1T takes an expert to do an ex-
pert's work
''The work of searching title takes
a special knowledge as well as a
special skill; a clerk cannot safely
undertake it. There are so many lit
tie technical points to be noticed; SO
many knots to untangle in compli-
Gated title that the work has deyel-
oped special talent-the title man.
He is an expert in his line just
as an electrician or the plumber"
The series is changed each week in
the Weekly and every Thursday in
the Daily. The space can be found
next to the want ads and is invalu-
able in its instruction and enlighten-
ing paragraphs.
