publicly saying what he believed
would promote his personal popular
lily and privately doing quite the con-

When asked to comment ON the ex-

he could not discuss current events
because he was determined to do
nothing which would embarrass Mr..
Wilson In any effort he might make
to protect American rights. Mr..
Hughes further elected Wild enthusi-

President for q Day.

If Robert Lansing remains secre
tary of state until the end of Presi-
dent Wilson's term, March 4, 1917,
he will be President of the United
States. But not for long; "a hours
is to be the limit of his term of office.
That is the way the curious ones at
Washington have arranged matters
in their minds. 1t is not certain that
they are right.
March 4th comes on Sunday. Ac-
cording to usage in such cases the
Inauguration of the newly elected
president, whoever he may be, will
take place at noon on Monday, March
5th But the present term legally
ends at noon on Sunday, March 5th.
There will be "a hours, therefore, in
which there will be no lawfully elect
ed and qualified president. Under
the law of succession, made to cover
such cases, the secretary of state
would then become president. Since
this law was made, March 4th has not
fallen on Sunday in any year when
an Inauguration was due.
There is however, nothing in the
law to prevent president taking the
oath of Office on Sunday. The taking
of the oath may be done in private
as well as in public.

Boys Fought Unions Battles.

The wisdom of universal military
Misunderstanding, mind you, not
service-usually is placed upon the
ground that it would give the boys
and young men physical development,
discipline and cooperative spirit that
could be gained in few other ways.
The opposition centers largely on
the sentimental view that the train
ing proposed would be given at the
most impressionable age of youth
and would develop an Objectionable
military view point in all our young
men. 1t would be all right, many
declare, to train men, but not boys.
The fact is, however, that it is the
boys who will fight our next war, as
they have fought our past wars. 1t is
boys-young men under 21-wh0 al
ways are the first at the front in ev-
cry war. -
The chances not only for their sue
cess, but for their lives, depend large

Study these figures. Perhaps they
will give you new viewpoint on who
it is that fight our wars, on who it is
that should be trained to protect

For the week ending May 2, 1916.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week continued too cool for
normal growth, but was, in most Sec
lions, favorable for farm work, which
progressed rapidly. Frost occurred on
April % and May 2, with freezing
temperatures in many localities on
the latter date. Moderate to heavy
rain fell in all parts of the state on
Saturday and Sunday and will be of
great benefit to meadows, pastures
and small grain and will put soil in
excellent condition for planting corn.
All small grain except winter wheat
is in fine condition. Reports vary as
to condition of winter wheat, but,
while there has been some winter kill
ing and some fields have been plowed
up for oats or corn reports from many
sections indicate a favorable condi-
ton Pastures afford sufficient feed
and much stock is now in grass and
doing we'll. Cherry, plum and pear
trees are in bloom over the southern
half of the state and apple trees are
beginning to blossom IN the southern
counties. The heavy to killing frosts
on the last morning of the week will
probably do much damage to fruit in
bloom. Geo. NJ. Chapel,

Death of Only Sister of the Late
Judge w. T. Kelley.

The following account of the death
of Mrs. S. B. futile, prominent
resident of Des Moines, is taken from
the Des Moines Capital of April 9th.
mrs. futile was the only sister of
the late Judge w. T. Kelley of this
county, and the only living aunt of
Mrs. A. M. Pryor of Leon, Mrs. J. H.
Morgan of Eden township, and Mrs.
A. Deck, of near Decatur City.
DesMOines lost another we'll known
pioneer woman yesterday when
the end came to Mrs. Samuel B. Tut
tie, of 1853 Woodland avenue. She
was 83 years old and had been res
ident of the city forty years. She
passed away shortly after 2 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon after an illness of
nine weeks duration. The unusual
feature of the occurrence was that
her death came exactly two years
after that of her husband.
Almyra Kelley was born in Put
nam county, New York. She was
twelve years old when with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Kelley, she
came to Iowa. The trip was made by
boat and wagon. The family settled
at Pennington. The daughter was
married there in 1860 to Samuel B.
Tuttle, who had also come west in
the early days. Mr.. futile had pre-
viously worked in Des Moines, so in
1876 with his family he returned to
this city. In 1910 the venerable
couple celebrated their golden we'd
ding anniversary surrounded by rel
atives and friends.
Mr.. futile was long a prominent
figure in the business life of Des
Moines. In another field Mrs. Tuttle
was equally active. AS a member Of
the board of managers of the Des
Moines Home for Friendless Children
she gave twenty-five years of service
to charity. n
Mrs. futile is survived by two
sons, L. J. futile of the IN. M. Stark
& Co. bridge contractors, and A. HI.
futile, real estate man, both of this
city. s.. II
Funeral services will be held at the
home, 1853 Woodland avenue, on
Thursday morning at 1880 O'clock,
with the Rev. ]. Edward KirbyeS in
charge. Interment will be private in

an ounce or two Of this liquid down

TITLE LAW REVISED.
TOrrens Land System to be Again
Urged Before Iowa Legislature.

Des Moines, April 20-That the
coming Iowa legislature will AGAR
consider the Torrens system of lane
registration is now Indicated by the
numerous inquiries which the state
law library is receiving with regard
to it and the growing interest which
Is apparent in many quarters. In re-
Spouse to this demand and antic1pat
ing the wants of the coming law max
ers, A. j. Small, state law librarian
has just compiled an extensive bibli
ography on the Torrens system.
Eleven states now use this system
and for many years it has been the
only method of land registration in
many of the foreign countries. Oul
neighboring states of both Illinois
and Minnesota have it, Illinois being
one of the first states to take it up
Other states where this system is the
law are as follows: California, Colo,
RADIO, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon
and Washington. 1t has come before
the Iowa legislature number OF
times but has failed of passage. AT
the last session bill providlng for
it's adoption was passed by the house
but died in the hands of the sitting
committee of the senate.
The Torrens system was first in
PRODUCED into South Australia
through the efforts of Robert r. Tor
rens in 1857. The feature of this
system is that it registers and de-
termines the condition and ownership
of the title to land instead of regis
tering deeds or other instruments as
evidence of title. This is done by
the state.
The principal objections to the in
PRODUCTION of the Torrens system in a
state like Iowa where the old system
of recording deeds has been in vogue
so long is that the state would have
to 60 to the expense of Investigating
the title to every piece of property
in Iowa in order to get it properly
registered. When this was once done,
however, it would not have to be
done over again, as is the case now
every time piece of property is sold.
There is no system Of abstracts under
the Torrens plan, for the state or
government itself investigates the
title to piece of property once and
for all. The oWnef holds a certifi-
cate of ownershipsgand the states
guarantee that the title is clear, is
all that is necessary.
The system is explained briefly in
the following paragraph in William
G. Niblack's book on the Torrens sys-
tenn:
THE scheme of the general Tor
rens system is that the state,
through the functions of registrar,
vests and certifies to an indefeasible
title to an interest or estate in land.
When a title is registered in the first
instance, or under transfer from the
last registered owner, the statute de-
clares the certificate to be evidence
of an indefeasible title to the inter-
est of estate registered and the effect
of this is that the issue of the certi-
ficate, ipso facto, divests any inter-
est or estate which may exist in any
other person and vests it in the per-
son registered as owner. There is,
therefore, on the part of an intend
ing purchaser, no necessity for a ret
respective examination of the title. :"
