OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 10
More than one hundred reports have
been received by G. G. llammonds,
state fire marshal of inspections or
grain elevators, cotton gins, ware
houses and other buildings In pursu-
ance OF action taken by insurance
men some months ago to help in mi
tial work looking to the conservation
of food and food resources. Insurance
men proposed to give their services to
the inspection Of buildings so that
any precautions necessary for the
protection from fire waste might be
taken The state was divided into
districts and the insurance agents
were given authority to make any In
spections necessary and report to the
state fire marshal. This is what has
been done.
Was Prcycntablc.
In the last annual report OF the
state fire marshal attention was
called to an unusual condition. Nearly
100000 were represented in the fire
waste where food products had been
consumed by fire. 1t was this condi-
ton that appealed to the insurance
men because they knew how this
could have been prevented.
The report OF inspections that
have been made show that every pre-
caution is being taken to guard
against fire. At this time OF the year,
when the cotton ginning season IL
about to begin, 1t IL timely to urge
strictest preca Itions against fire In
the gins. which oftentimes means the
waste OF much cotton. This material
lis valuable now and will become much
more so. The reports that have been
received by the state fire marshal
show that the people of the state are
cheerful to give every sci !ice possible
In the interests of food conservation.

STENM0 FOR ToRR{NS
SYSTEM Of = TRANSFER
Of DAKOTA PROPERTY
Senator Will Prepare Bill Provid.
ing for Elimination of Red
Tape

Senator Albert Stenmo, successor
from the Seventh district to Harry A.
Bronson of Grand Forks, whom he re-
tired at the primaries last June, is a
grim believer in the Torrens system of
land Transfers. He has made very
thorough study of the subject, and no
doubt will introduce bill in the SEN
ate, after constitutional preparation
has been made.
Mr.. stenmo contends that under the
present abstract system, the abstract
fees on small lot which has chang
ed in Illinois in 1895, after Chicago
to more than the purchase price. He
believes that everyone would benefit
from more simple plan of perfecting
titles.
The Torrens system, now in opera
ton in several states, first was adopt
e din Illinois in 1895, after Chicago
had suffered for several years from
the confusion in property titles result
ing from the destruction of all rec
ords in the great fire Of the seventies.
The American Bar association at its
Salt Lake session in 1915, adopted a
uniform bill based on the Torrens
idea. Senator Stenmo expects to
adapt this bill to the conditions Pc
culiar to North Dakota. Before the
bill can flnally be enacted into law,
the Grand Forks senator is Of the opin-
ion that a constitutional amendment
will be required.

For the pa& two years or more

manufacturers would cooperate, he
believed. Cooperation with manu-
facturers and statesmen Is necessary.

are they going to get IL? Bq 10-hour
runs, watching the shows, or having
tractors built on race automobile
lines. 1T is possible 20 nave section
branch to make tests on anybody's

M. r. Bass of the Dunwoody insti-
tute, formerly active in automobile
tests and runs, favored something
similar to an endurance run of the
old sealed-bonnet type for the trac-
tor. which would be good for the
manufacturer of tractors, the engi-

lar machines instead OF special-built

After the salesmen's interest in
tractor demonstrations has been
brought into the discussion, Mr.. Men
