REGISTERING LAND TITLES

Land Titles have always been
prolific source of ligitation.
Much fraud has been practced,
expenses borne and property
lost because of THE numerous
teehnicalities and irregularities
in our system of land titles.
Land is the basis of wealth
in this country. It was in the
beginning of civilization and it
will be in centuries to come
Man occupies the land for pro-
duction during his lifetime,
then it is passed on to the next
generation. In other words ab-
stracts of title show various
and sundry transactions, many
of which under the present sys-
tenn of transfers may involve
considerable expenses with dam
ger of loss of ownership.
The courts are always crowd
ed with suits both in law and
in equity involving land titlse.
Lawyers have employed tecni-
calities resorted to pevious
court decisions and as a result
millions of dollars are lost ev-
cry year because of our resent
ystem of transfers.
The time has come for the
peoples interest to be regard
ed in such important matter as
titles. What we need is some
uniform method of registering
as the Torrens system. Not
only should there be such a
uniform safe and economical
system in eacvh state but the
country as a whole should
have some such registrations
as the Torrens system.
A national rural credits sys-
tenn is likely soon to be passed.
This will make farm mort
cages far more numerous and
important than they have ever
been. To get the benefits of
rural credits some modification
of land IT'LL will be necessary
in some of the states. Why
not introduce the Torrens sys-
tenn or a modification of it in
this country? There will al
ways be enough igitation for
lawyers without continuing our
present methods of land trans
fers. Safety. economy and
business require a change

MAIL ORDER HOUSES GAIN

A merchant of Swifton, in
the northern part of Jackson
county, in a statement to the
Newport Independent, says
that more than $1,000 worth
of goods had been sold in
Swifton, which has a population
of 500, during the past II
months by mail order houses.
Most of this money he states
has gone to st. Louis and Chi
sage, and the business was Sc
cured by sending out printed
catalogs of wares offered for
sale IL that territory The ar
ticlss sold ranged al the way

in most instances could have
been supplied by local dealers
and in many cases at far less

A BANK ACCOUNT

The Extension Division of
the University of Arkansas has
a sincere wish that every farm
er in this old state may open
the New Year with bank ac-
count, no matter how small.
The extension forces of the
state and the Departments of
Agriculture are working hard
to help farmes make money
and they are honest in the be-
lief that a bank is better than a
SOCK or 2 dish in the cup
board for the savings. We
want farmers. the small farm
ers, the forty acre farmers. and
he renters and share troopers
to get on friendly relation with
the bankers and establish
confidence and do business
with them. The bankers and
the county agents are about the
best advisers the farmers of
Arkansas can have for 1916.
Try them both.

Wool
j. A. RICKART,
Market Correspondent

Sales this week at Boston are estim-
ated at 100000 to 100000 pounds,
and the effect of the better demand
and increasing firmness in foreign
primary markets is seen in the dispo-
stion of holders to mark up asking
prices. High prices are being paid in
Australia and South America, and do
mestic wool Of similar grades looks
cheap to manufacturers. All grades
and classes of wool are selling, and
wooden and worsted mills, large and
small, are buying. Speculation is
rampant in South America, and the
fever is beginning to appear in Aus
trala and in New Zealand also Con-
tracing on the sleeps back is being
done by Boston buyers in the latter
colony at very high prices, and at
Melbourne and Sydney values have
run above a parity with this market.
London has shown surprising strength
in both merinos and crossbreds, and
American manufacturers have been
obliged to constantly increase buying
limits in order to obtain the desirable
woods. Underlying all the strength in
wool markets at home and abroad, is
the extent to which the mills of the
country are employed on home and
foreign orders.--Bradstreets.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, November
8, 1915.--The whole cattle list went
onto a lower plane last week, the
leading influence being a break of 30
to so cents on beef steers. Western
beef cattle, selling at $3.50 and down
ward did not lose more than 25 cents.
Stockers and feeders declined Is to
30 cents, in sympathy, except the
choicest kinds of yearlings and twos
Cows have been in rather light sup
ply, and are holding up about steady.
Cattle supply today was 81 900, prices
steady on an average. Panhandle
yearlings at $3.50 to S765 were the
best here today, not nearly as good as
the $3.50 yearlings last Monday. Mid
die kinds of range yearlings and twos
sell at $3.50 to SIPS, good Colorado
yearlings today at $685. to $T.35.
Feeders weighing $50 to 1850 lbs. sell
at S6.75 to $3.50, and fleshy steers for
short feed up to $3.50 in few cases.
Iowa and Illinois have some soft corn
to dispose of, which is making a bet
ter outlet for feeders than has existed
heretofore, though prices are mater
tally lower than ten days ago. Colo
RADIO fat cows sold around $500 today,
and some horned steers weighing 100
lbs. sold to killers at $500. Nothing
is here today from Montana, or the
Idaho-Oregon region. Country demand
took $4,000 cattle last week, and is
ample to absorb the supply, and the
lower prices prevailing are the result
of lower prices on beef cattle at all
the markets. Hogs sold steady at the
start today, in the same notch they
have been selling in since last Thurs
day, but the close was to 10 lower.
Receipts were 10000 head top $40,
bulk S6.70 to $500. Order buyers paid
the top price, as usual, packers stop
ping at $7.05. Hog prices are about
so cents lower than a year ago, and
So cents below two years ago. There
is big demand for fresh pork, but
receipts are increasing, and prices, will
probably work lower. Sheep and lamb
receipts were $4,000 today, market
steady on fat stock, weak on feeders.
Offerings from the range are not as
good quality as formerly, and the fat
grades are not well finished. Fed
western lambs from Missouri sold at
the top today, $50 and $S.75, one lot
of Colorado lambs SS.75, feeding
lambs S7.75 to $50, Colorado fat
yearlings S6.70, wethers $6.10, best fat
ewes worth $5.75, breeding ewes $3.50
to $500, feeding ewes $500 to $500.
The season for the fed western lambs
is just opening, and the tendency is
toward stronger prices. The market
probably will soon get up to 50 for
finished lambs, paying basis for
lambs bought early, and a price that
will stimulate the market on feeding
lambs.
