HOW USE THE
TORRENS LAW.

The Torrens system of registering land
is a plan whereby the title to the property
is passed upon by the examiner appointed
by the Chancery court, and if found to be
valid is recorded by the register and the
owner is given certificate OF title which
is guaranteed by the state and which pro-
tects the owner forever against any and all
claims.
The process of having real estate re-
corded under the Torrens law is as follows:
The owner files an application in writing
with the Clerk and Master in the county in
which the land is situated The applica-
ton should be addressed to the court and
should preferably be filled out on a regular
blank from which may be secured from
the Clerk and Master. The court will
order an examination of the title by the
examiner, an officer who has been appoint
ed by the court to do this work, and will
order notice of the proposed action be
published in a local paper in the county SO
that any person or persons who might
have any claims upon the property in qucs-
ton may have chance to defend their
claims. In this way the court satisfies it
self that the petitioner has valid claim to
the property, then instructs the register to
record the title in his Torrens registry
book and issues certificates Of guarantee
to the owner.

The Human Factors
I'm Good Service

There are three parties to every tele.
phone conversation-the party calling,
the trained operator, and the party who
answers All three share alike the respon-
sbility for quick and accurate telephone
service.
The calling party should give the cor
rect number in distinct voice. speak
ing directly into the transmitter. and
wait at the telephone until the party an
swers or the operator reports. The called
party should answer promptly.
Patience on the part of the telephone
user and the telephone operator is also es-
sential to good service.
