THRIFT IN THE HOME

Thrift Is good management
and nowhere is good manage
ment more manifest than in the
home. You can soon tell what
manner Of housekeeper the wife
is, for the impress of her ideals
and ideas is on every hand. She
can waste all the husband earns,
or she can save the major part.
Housekeeping is the most COM
plicated work in the world, and
she who can keep a house well is
a good business woman. She can
make her work drudgery or she
can make it a pleasure. Men fail
in business and the world knows
it; but how many home failures
there are of which the world
never hears! u-.
1t is easy to detect the woman
who fails as a housekeeper. Ii
YOU see the dishes unwashed, the
children unkempt, clothes strung
all over the house, the bath lit
tered, the corners dirty and a
general air Of neglect, You may
depend upon it she has failed as
business housekeeper. She does
not know how.
Writing in the Ladies Home
journal, one women tells how
she succeeds as a home-maker
and as "a business woman in the
home. She aims at simplicity. She
has simple furnishings, but good.
She has no ''parlor that abom-
ination of olden time, but liv-

AN OPINION ON THE
ToRRENs SYSTEM OF
REGISTRATION

To the Askov American:
The benefits Of the Torrens Sys-
tenn are self-evident ard V d e
known.
Twelve states, California Color
ado, Illinois, Massachusetts,, Min
nesota, Mississippi, Nebraska.
New York, North Carol ma, Oh o,
Oregon, and WASHINGTON have
adopted the Torrens System.
In each state, registration Is
more or less optional and the act-
ual adoption is slow, owing 70 rte
ract that there is Int little & ner-
al conception of the great advan-
tages to be obtained.
1t seems to be a human failing
to prefer to accept a proportion,
ally large expenditure at the
present to a great saving spread
over the future.
There Is very good provision
in the Torrens law that few peo-
nle seem to be aware of and that
Is that adverse possession cannot
be built upon property registered
under the Torrens System.
In city property especially, but
also on farms, are these cases
brought up where sheds and
fences overlap on adjoining prop
erty and the question of adverse
nossession for such over apning Is
becoming more pronounced every
day.
" "aoes whera loans are ne.
gotiated upon property registered
under the Torrens System yon
will find the same to work out
vorv satisfactorily, as it is very
| simple and much quicker and
cheaper method than with an alb
stract Of title.
In questioning a large real es-
tate holder as to the satisfaction
| of the Torrens System he stated
"In connection with the handling
of property we have found the
Torrens System to work very sat.
isfactorilv. y
The purchasers seem to appre-
ciate the fact that they are getting
simple form Of evidence Of title
and it also saves rs considerable
amount of trouble in trying to sat.
.sfy the whims and technical OBJ.
mctions of inexperienced attor-
news. ..
The Torrcns System is good in
many other eases. especially In
such eases where there is a slight
defect in the title. When the prop.
erty have been registered under
| the Torrens System and thereby
assuranced by the state from the
Assurance funds there will be nc
trouble experienced in satisfying
the purchaser as to title.
That the Torrens System Is
much above the old system is un,
