WHITE WYANDCTTES OUT
 FOR NEW RECORD.
They Hold First and Second Places
 In Contest at Stoors.

White Wyandottes were the first to reach a pen production of 5000 eggs in the laying contest at Storrs. Obed G. Knights pen from Bridgeton, R. l., passed this mark last week and now have a score of 2014, an average of little over POI eggs for each hen in the pen. It now seems certain that these hens will establish a new high pen record for all American competi- tions in which ten birds have been required for entry. Knights pen and the Agricultural College pen of Ore gons'' from Corvallis, Ore, tied for first place for the week with 49 eggs each. A. w. Rumery's Rhode Island Reds from Danville, x. H., were in second place with 47 eggs. Rose Rock Farms Barred Rocks from Ka- tonah. N. Y, Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks from Attleboro, Mass, and F. ". Backus White Wyandottes from Chatham Ont, ali tied for third place for the week with 46 eggs eacn. It will be noted that there are no Leghorns mentioned among the week ly winners. Such Q thing, however, has not happened before for nineteen weeks.
 The best pens are listSL below by breeds. If, however, ons considers the entire contest as the unit it is first and second places, White Leg horns third and fourth, Oregons fifth, Barred Rocks sixth White Wyan- dottes seventh, White Rocks eighth, Rhode Island Reds ninth and White Leghorns tenth. These ten best pens. meaning one hundred hens. have av- eraged to lay 1855 eggs each as com pared with 110 eggs each for the one hundred hens in the ten poorest pens. Local breeders will be interested to know that Will Barron's pen of Eng fish LegI1orns which have been lead IT1CT OIo x-iy, + December have finally been forced in- to second place by Francis F. Lin coln's birds from Mt. Carmel, Conn, that are now leading by a margin of four eggs.

 How It Helps Coughs and Colds


 Buy your bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar notr, and quickly stop tho coughs and colds of early fall.
 Early fall brings croup,- bronchitis, esthmatic breathing, troublesome night coughs, whooping cough, and tickling, irri- table throat.
 It aggra7ates tho distressing cough of weak lungs, and the chronic coughs of elderly people,
 It gives ''snuffles" to infants and children and proVokes adenoids and sore infamed throats.
 Give Fo1ey's Honey and Tar freely. It is so soothing and curative, relieves hoarseness and puts a healing coating on the infaued mucous lining of the throat. Itstops cough- ing easily and quickly and relieves croup be- fore this dreaded thing has chance to really harm the children or scare the parents. The last dose is just as good as the first, and less amount ia needed than of any other cough syrup.
 So see to it that you get only the original FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR, for it is the only geasi1e, and contains no opiates. Lee & Osgood Co.,

kIMMEL'S SISTER
IS Entitled TO
INSURANCE MONEY
Missouri Supreme Court
Upholds Decision in
Noted Controversy.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 1.-The
Missouri supreme court today sus-
tanned the verdict of the jury III the
lower court, in the long drawn out G.
A.. Kimmel insurance case, holding
that the man at the trial was not
Kimmell, who disappeared in 1898.
The curt reduced the judgment
against the New York Life Insurance
company from $4,000 to $6,98o.e7,
because the policy provided for pay
ment Of $500 annually until the en-
tire sum was paid. The court decid-
ed that Edna X. Bonslett, formerly
Edna K. Kimmel, was entitled to sue
for other payments as they como due.
The kimmel case has been before
the public since July 80, 1898, when
George A. Kimmel, bank president
at Arkansas City, Kan, disappeared.
His insurance policies named his
sister Mrs. Bonslett as beneficiary.
The insurance companies resisted
payment, on the claim that kimmel
was not dead, and that a. man found
in an asylum at MatteWan, N. Y, was
in fact Kimmel. When the man was
released he went to Niles, Mich,
where. by a few persons, he was
recognized as kimmel. The ma
jority of the people there declared he
was an imposter and the jury. at the
trial. found that the man was not
Kimmel, but it could not find that
kimmel was dead. The kimmel
claimant was arrested at st. Charles,
Mo-, in July 1914, on a charge OF
burglary, pleaded guilty. served a
thirty day sentence and disappeared.
since which time there is no trace OF
his movements.

rens title has to pay for it. The fee,
however, need not be large, not much
larger than the cost now Of an ex-
animation of records and the making
of an abstract. Laws establishing the
system usually provide that the title
fee shall be certain per cent of the
the charges on a small tract becoming
too great.
If the Torrens system should be
enacted into law, it is not likely that
many people would go to the expense
of getting Torrens title unless there
was some claim against their land
which they felt would be set aside by
a competent examiner. Men buying
land would be likely, however, to in
sst on Torrens titles. Certainly they
would if wise. Thus one after anoth-
er the land titles of the state would
definitely be determined for all time
and disputes about boundaries, over
tapping claims and disputed rights be
done away with.
Certainly, this is consummation
devoutly to be desired.
There is a chance, too, that the sys-
tenn will be absolutely necessary to
the successful working of the new
farm loan law in this state. Certainly
there are thousand of land titles now
SO clouded by uncertainty that the
chance of getting money on it through
The farm loan associations until the
titles are cleared up. The new law
is just one more reason why we should
have the Torrens system.
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1916-12-02
WHAT THE TORRENS SYSTEM Is

The Torrens system is a system of
land title registration. Under it land
titles are examined by duly appoint
ed and bonded official, who certifles
to the court that they are good i
found so. The title is then entered of
record and a copy given the owner of
the land. After that all questions
about the validity of the title, all look
ing up titles and old claims, all fear
of unpaid notes or taxes, are done
away with. Any claims against the
land are entered of record alongside
the title record where any man can
see them. Sales are also recorded
there. A transfer Of land is made by
the simple process of writing it on
the back Of the Torrens deed or GER
tificate of ownership and turning that
over to the purchaser.
If the Torrens system should be
adopted in this state, it would be in
voluntary form says the Southern
Agriculturist of Nashville, Tenn, in
explaining the system. That >s.y the
man who wishes Torrens title could
get it and the man who did not wish
to go to the expense of getting one
could let it alone. The man wishing
such title would apply to the court
for one, submitting his old deeds. The
official examiner of titles would then
look up the title record and make an
abstract Of its just as lawyers do now
when a piece of land is transferred.
If he found the title clear, he would
so certify. If he found anything
against it that could be cleared up by
the owner he would notify him of it.
If he found the title doubtful, it would
have to be determined by suit as now,
or in some cases by the publication of
notice to any possible claimants who
would be given certain length of
time in which to present their claims.
After all claims had been settled and
the title pronounced good, the court
would scrutinize the work of the title
examiner If his work was found cor
rect, and the title good, the land would
be surveyed and the corners durably
marked. Then guaranteed title would
be issued to the land owner and his
title 10 the land would be good against
all parties, and he could transfer it, as
described above, just as easily as he
could transfer stock certificate or
a bond, and with little more expense.
Even if it should be found that the en-
aminer made mistake and gave him
a title to which he was not entitled,
he would still hold the land. The state
would have to satisfy the injured par
ties and, in turn, collect from the eX-
aminer and his bondsmen.
The purpose of the Torrens system
is to make land titles certain and easy
of transfer-to do away with land title
litigation and the eternal and expen-
sive searching of records and making
of abstracts WHICH now cost land
owners SO much.
OF course, the man getting Tor

The average woman cares but little

effects of the war will soon be felt at
every fireside, as now the great manu-
featuring interests in the east are send
ing out notices that the color of hosiery
is not guaranteed, regardless of price.
And following these notices to the local
merchants, came the advice few days
ago that no colors whatever, even the
finest silks. are guaranteed. Dye stuffs
were made in Germany, and even school
children know that ships from Germany
are not coming this way. Therefore,
milady in shopping need not inquire as
to whether the colors of her hosiery or
silk dress are guaranteed. They are
not, not only not in Salem, but Port
land as well and in fact, there is not
any such thing as guaranteed colors
