LITIGATION Of Abode That Lineers
in the Memory.

The difference between a home
and a camp is a blossom. Until
flowers were planted about the abode
Of men, until blooms we're cultivated,
there were no permanent homes, no
fixed places of abode. Tents were
struck and a new location sought.
Attachments were not formed for
localities. We we're a wandering,
shiftless, comfortless lot until a
woman trudged in from the thicket
and planted a vine or shrub or flower
about the tent and called it home.
1t was a woman, Of course. Man,
in his ~coarseness, never thought Of
sticking a stem into the earth and
having color and fragrance forever
in his presence. Only woman could
have thought of that,
And since the first good day when
the woman planted a flower and
loved it into poisoning the home
has been a ixity. 1t has been a cen
ter of the affections. The building
may be destroyed, the individual.
members of the family may be scat.

remains a fixture in the memory
and the blossoms do not fade o.

JOY IN CARING FOR CHICKS
Delight Of Incubator Mother Well Set

What incubator mother can regard
without emotion her downy and null

dependence-she who is to them the
Almighty, the author and preserver
of their being?
What a pleasure to deal out the
wholesome ration, to watch the little

mites steal away one by one to the
sunny corner, there to spread them
selves for an after-dinner nap Of alb

How comforting to nest them cos

WHO REALLY OWNS
MISSOURI LANDS?
Professor of Law at University
of Missouri Says Land Holder
Is Tenant of State.

Professor OF Law at University
of Missouri Says Land Holder
Is Tenant of State.
Does a Missouri farmer really
own his own land? If he holds
a clear title, does the law look
upon him as the owner of the
land, or does it look upon the
state as the owner and the far
mer as the tenant? These ques-
tions are treated in a recent
bulletin upon Land Tenure and
Conveyances in Missouri" by
Manley O. Hudson, professor of
law at the University of Mis-
souri, at Columbia. Professor
Hudson gives a history of land
ownership in Missouri, con-
Guiding that no land in Missouri
is really owned except by the
state, and that a person holding
a title to a farm is really a ten
ant of the state.
Several hundred years ago il
England, the king owned al
land, ownership of land being q
royal prerogative. The king
parceled out his land to his sub.
jects who held it by what was
known as tenure. The tenant
sometimes rendered military
service to the owner or lord, anC
sometimes only agriculture
service. This system of lane
holding still prevails in lega
theory in England.
A similar situation existed il
the American colonies unde
British dominion, and it is tn.
accepted view chat all land wa
held in tenure prior to the A
merican Revolution. This sys
tenn of landholding was no
changed by the Revolution ex
cept that the respective state
were substituted for the Brit
ish crown as overlords.
In the territory acquired b
the Louisiana Purchase thi
problem Of legal theory is nc
so easily solved. The territor
which is now Missouri was owl
ed by France prior to 1852, /
Spain between 1862 and 1870
again by France from 1902
1903, when it was coded to IL
United States. Professor HUI,
son concludes that during thel
various periods the land W;
held by the French and SPANS
crowns respectively. He tracI

Des Moines. Aug. 6.-The. presidential
preference primary which is to be held
in Iowa in accordance with the new law
on April 10, 1916. is beginning to excite
the interest of O number of public men,
but in general way but little concern
is manifested thus far in this new plan.
which is to be tried out for the first
time in 1916. It is believed there will
have to be quite a little agitation with
reference to this opportunity for the
people to express their choice for
president if there is to be anything like
a full expression of the people at that
first primary.
The date falls at time when farm
ers are apt to be rushed with spring
work and the roads are often uninvit-
ing. The general experience in getting
out a vote at a primary IS that there
must be some local issue if large vote
is expected.
Primary in Eleven States.
Eleven western states in all are to
have similar primaries next spring
where the people express their prefer
ence for president. Some of these states
had such a law in 1912 but the ma ;ority
of them will be tried out for the first
time next spring. In Iowa the people
will vote for the following. President
of the United States, vice president,
party national committeeman, district
delegates to the national convention.
delegates at large, alternate district
delegates and alternate delegates at
large. They will also vote on
delegates to the county convention.
They will vote also on the ques-
ton as the whether the district dele
gates to the national convention be in
structed by the vote at large or by TIE
vote of the congressional district.
