In the cold months.
Rake the leaves and add them to
the manure pile.
Take out rocks by blasting.
In the early spring don't forget that

Red Tape Costs Ten Millions Year

From Farm and FlreSlue
 Transferring farm ownership from seller to buyer should not be the occasion for a hold-up but too often this is exactly what occurs in two senses. From five to ten million dollars is not too great an estimate of the needless expense involved in the transfer of American farms an- nually.
 In certain states and parts of states, among which are Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Massachusetts and Washington, the transference of a farm from seller to buyer is merely the matter of minutes after the transaction is brought to the attention of the registrar of the county. The certificate of the registrar thereafter settles the matter There is no going back of his certificate. Lawyers and ab- straters' fees are no longer necessary. the certificate of title is transferred to the owner.
 This ne wplan, which makes possible the quick, safe and sane changing of land ownership is known as the Torrens system of keeping the record of land titles All that is required under the Tor rens system is for the owner of the land to take his abstract to the registrar of titles of the county. If the deed is found good a certificate of title is issued by the registrar.
 Then why not make use of this system the country over? All farmers are keen for this new system as soon as they real ize it's advantages but efforts to adopt it are met by strong opposition from law yers and abstracters, and the makers ot our laws, be it remembered, are practi- cally all lawyers

Adventures in Parenthood
Marion Brantlett Powell in the Jl

Marion Brantlett Powell in the July
 Mothers Magazine.
 I would warn the prospective foster parent against one factor that can mili- tate seriously against child coming into his heritage. It is the sympathetic neigh bor.
 Until child is in a normal home atmos- phere where he is unconscious of himself and immersed in the interests his eX- perience demands, his instincts and inn pulses are constantly inhibited. The sym pathetic neighbor cannot help telling the foster mother-usually in the presence of the child-what a perfectly grand thing she is doing; she must hear the story of the little ones misfortunes. eXclaimng over him and bringing back to him all the wretchedness of his troublous times; her great warm hear aches for him, when it would be in better business aching for some poor little yet unfriended orphan She usually ends by mourning because a woman of heart big enough to take in the orphan should not have chill dren of her very very own but she is charitably sure the child will turn out excellently, considering She departs leaving mother and child with queer alien feeling between them.
 I had few such experiences. After the first I explained to my child that the fact that she had not found life through my body was something we had to face, she and l. It was carrying on the mother business according to the best rules knew and I was sure she believed it. I told her what her coming had meant to mellow I had hoped in the long days before her daddy and I lived in the same house, even, that I would have a little girl who would be just her age now; how I had bought her first clothes in a perfect asorption of joy how I nearly died of pride when took her on a vis- itation among my friends. She under stood, as children do when they are trust ed with the exact truth.

not viewed the opening episode of this
 million dollar film serial it is booked again for today with the second and
 third chapters in order that the admirers
 of Miss Billie Burke might have the
 opportunity of seeing their favorite In
 this picture that peerless ingenue of screenland-that muchly toasted concen-
 tration of all that's lovely in woman,
 namely, Miss Billie Burke, is the star.
 She is Gloria-and glorious, on the screen
 and in the flesh.
 "Glorias Romance is by Rupert
 Hughes, who wrote a novelette, called
 What Will People Say?" and got his
 name in the papers and on magazine
 covers. Gloria, he has made a hoydenish
 and altogether lovable creature, whose
 romance is one continuous thrill after another
 Spain, by keeping out of the present European conflict, is not only keeping her men and country intact but has also earned the distinction of furnishing the world the last word on all that is fash ionable in clothes. No longer are French frocks the mode. Anything Spanish is now the rage. And Billie Burke, $4OOO per week star of "Gloria's Romance" who is wearing Lucille, Henri Bendel and Balcom gowns that are not only up to
 the minute, but little ahead of it. is
 adopting the Spanish fashions with vengeance.
 In an early cha pter of the new Rupert
 Hughes motion picture novel Miss Burke
 will wear one of the most striking long capes that you can possibly imagine. It is cerise as to color, and torredor-y as to shape. Ina zine long. straight cape that hangs from the shoulders in soft velvety folds-the material is Bolivia. You haven't heard of it? Well it is the latest thing, and soon will be quite popular. The richness of the cerise is softened by the creamy white silk that lines it. Darts over the shoulder makes it fit the wearer without any suggestion of bulSiness, de- spite the four and one-half yards that 1t measures around the hem.
 1 But the most distinguishing note is the straight band-about five inches in width l that goes around the neck and onto which the cape is attached, forming the | collar. The ends, continuing on. are | thrown around the wearer's neck in the manner of a scarf. When the cape is off, l the scarf -colar-there is no other way to describe it-is as long on each side as the cape itself. and save for one very | long cerise button, the shape and size of | a woman's little finger, there is no means
 of keeping it on.
 1 With this stunning wrap is worn a 1 pearl gray chip straw hat of the new l Spanish shape-which is to say rather broad brmmed sailor, turned up slightly on one side. The only trimming on this ] Lucille hat is narrow band of gray rib 1 bon and the under side of the brim is faced with white georgette crepe. The 1 whole costume is one of the most striking l that Miss Burke has yet worn, so be sure 1 and watch for it in an early chapter of | the "Gloria's Romance film.

StupendOus Surnames

From the London Chronicle.
 The bearers of some of the surnames which appear in mediaeval documents must have been glad of an excuse to change them. Apparently this was done, for the more grotesque nave either van ished or been modified out of recogni- tion. Among the former are such names as Alice Thepundersstepdoghtr Mazelina Stabwourchman, F'rethesanccia Del Coun- tynghouse, Godisman Attestretesende and Thomas Wrangwisshe, which certainly have no claimants nowadays.
 Many surnames derived from trade or service have been contracted, such as Le Lindraper into Draper, Le Chaplin and Le Gresuenour (gros veneur) into Gros- venor.
