TORRENS SYSTEM WILL LOWER

Joe Connery, county recorder,
asked a Day Book reporter to repeat.
So the reporter said:
'"The city council harbors COM
mittee has ordered the city surveyor
to make borings in land adjoining
Lake Calumet. By means of the dirt
brought up from these bOrings they
expect to determine whether the land
is natural and God-made or whether
it's artificial, fiIed-in land. This data
is then to be used in ascertaining
who owns title to the land"
ct sounds interesting" said Con-
merry. ct looks like one more Of those
tangles in Cook county real estate
which would not exist under proper
public organization of the title bust
ness of the country. AS the TOTrens
system is increased in use 1 believe
land title disputes will decrease in
number. In this case, which is a
dispute between the Pullman Co. and
the City of Chicago, autobiography
loses is able to stand the loss. But
a title dispute where a worHngman
has a city, lot or small suburban
farm taken away from him because
of clouded title is a serious matter.
That's where the TOrTens system is
the friend of the little fellow who
wants an absolute cinch, an undis-
puted title, to the land he buys with
savings from his day wages"

An ancient palace of about 1870 feet long
and 100 feet wide, containing some 20
rooms, was unearthed few months ago in
Egypt by American archaeologists. The
palace is large and deliberately decorated.

In the throne room were found many YES

belong to the stone Age. These included
knives, sickles, razors and arrow heads. The

is thought by many to be the Pharaoh

Sunday Oct l, 1916.

The first business taken up was the cleo

Mr.. J. T. for our new Vice President.
Mr.. F, S. was reelected for Secretary.

address of good cheer and counsel brought
forth message of triumph to the members.
stating in part that he had received state
ments both verbal and written from people
that know what the character of literary and
chautauqua work stands for, and that the Cir
Gle had done splendid during the past season
and made great progress, having reached a
high standard; that it was the duty Of. every
member to strive to retain that standard,
not to be a knocker, but booster-and if
possible to increase it.
1t was further decided to pass out the
Chautauqua books among the members at
the next regular meeting, and general dis
cusSion as to the course of reading to be
taken up. These books are at the present
time in the School Library and were pur-
chased for the interest of the Chautauqua
members. They are by the best authors
and cover wide range of studies and be-
sides these the Library Department has just
received large quantity of new books, and
another shipment is expected soon. AT no
time in the history of this institution has
there been such an ample supply of good,
interesting, and instructive material to draw
upon. The meeting was great success.
The general spirit and interest of the men,
bers for betterment was plainly indicated,
for every member will strive to give his
best ideas and put forth his every effort to
gain and impart knowledge and education
and thus help build still higher standard
for our Chautauqua.-S. Sec'y.

The Fly

How many times our most sincere efforts
result only in painful blunder that gets US
nowhere; or possibly in worse than before.
Perhaps not, but we wonder if you ever
survey some particularly beautiful visions
of efforts repaid and hopes fulfilled only to
have them vanish and leave you digging
away right where you started.
How does this fit
Upon sheet of Tanglefoot the trusting
fly had lit,
And now with plucky heart he fought
toward freedom, bit by Bit
He stood on tiptoe in the mess and beat
his gauzy wings,
He dragged himself with frantic jerks and
jumps and leaps aud swings.
He wrestled with sticky leg with all his
might and main,
He pulled and hauled and tugged and
logged, and pulled and hauled again.
Across his fallen comrades he his painful
progress took,
And inch by inch he won his way by
many hook or crook,
Until at last he sank to rest upon the
paper edge;
1t was nine days wonder that he reached
the narrow ledge;
With feeble gasps he licked his feet and
rearranged his coat,
And tried each tired wing again with
low and timd note.
Then up into the air he leaped, his joyou
course he bore,
Straight to that sheet of tang lefoot and
waded in once more.
A fly is just an insect and his part in life
is small,
Yet how exactly like a man he does
things after all.

Hearten

We had friend who was superintendent
of schools in one of our large cities. Upon
his desk was the placard with the word
"Hearten" printed in large red lett RS. That
was his own daily motto, and that was a
lesson he tried to impress on all the teachers.
Many discouraged pupil gives up trying
to solve problem, where little hearten-
ing, word of cheerfuIness, helpful sug-
gestion from his teacher would give him
the needed inspiration to master the diff

In the larger school of life, we all ought
to be hearteners. We need to he encouraged
ourselves, and we daily meet others who
would be much helped with our smiles,
our Interest, our appreciation our commen-
dation. 1t is much better to add wings
than weight to the LOT of our fellowmen, to
help him rise above the conditions that
threaten to envelope him in gloom and dis
couragement. There are too many people
who think only of their own happiness, and
see not the shadows which have fallen upon
their unfortunate neigh5ors. Self is the
most important word in their vocabulary.
They are shadow makers and make life
harder to live for everyone else.
There is no one who does not need en-
victorious life. Things will 60 wrong in
spite of all we can do. We have our moods
when doubt and disappointment and per-
plexity seem to possess our Utmost souls.
Trouble comes which tends to make man
give up the battle in despair. Loved ones
return cold indifference fer unselhsh devo-
ton. Friends are disloyal. We get into
tho shadows and fail to see any sunlt paths.
At such time, how beautiful is the friend
ship that rouses us from dreary forebodings,
that points to an escape from our grief and
loneliness, that throws a rainbow of hope
across the dark clouds of our mental sky,
and assures us of the victory soon to come.
This is the kind of friendship we all
ought to give our fellows. We can hearten
one another in our pilgrimage through lite,
and SO add to the happiness of the world
We can give encouragement and make
somebody's life less burdensome. We can
express sympathy and help stricken soul
bear in triumph its sorrow. We can go
about day by day, dispensing joy, and hope,

The Letter e"

Some one has advanced the opinion that
the letter ''e'' is the most unfortunate letter
in the English alphabet because it is always
out of cash, forever in debt. never out of
danger and in hadeS all the time.
For some reason he overlooked the
fortunates CT the letter, so we will call his
attention to the fact -''e'' is never in war
and always In peace. 1t is the beginning
of existence, the commencement of ease and
the end of trouble. Without it there would
be no meat, no life and no heaven.
Ii is the center of honesty makes love

And its genealogical tree is old;
For ever since Adam and Eve began
To build up the curious race of man
Has existed the House of "They.'

Horrid people whom all despise!
And yet the best of us now and then

And spread their villainous tales about.
