The Torrsns System is Not an Ex-
pertinent.

Don't get the idea that the
'Torrens system of land title reg
istration is an experiment. 1t is
not. 1t is a thoroughly tested
and established system. 1t has
been adopted in one form or
another by fourteen states, is in
force in Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines, in Australia,
New Zealand and Tasmania. in
parts of Canada and in a modified
form in England. 1t has been
upheld by the courts of every
state in which it has been ques-
toned.
There is nothing visionary, i'm
practical or risky about it. 1t is
simply an up-to-date business
like method of recording and
transferring land titles. The
only people who can reasonably
oppose it are the ones who profit
by uncertainties of title and land
litigation and that class of ultra
conservatives of whom it has been

sweep down the cobwebs lest the

an engineer TO make the
necessary surveys. 1t is the experience
of the state office that engineers who
are capable of doing that class OF work
are rather hard to find at the present
time because, construction work has
started up in earnest all over the coun-
try and engineers in general are all
employed.
For the past two years the work In
most Of the counties has not been be-
gun soon enough to insure its compile
tion during the working season, and 1t
Is strongly recommended that surveys
for the 1917 road work be done in the
winter months. These can be approved
blue printed, ETC., and contracts let
before the road season opens. Sucn q
procedure will allow contractors 10
more or less group their work ana
make definite plans early in the sea-
son. and will in the end insure much
cheaper work and also insure its COM
pletion at time when 1t will be most
beneficial to the travelling public.
Photographs of several bridges and
culverts and various types of roads
which have been built under the state
aid plan are shown so as to enable the
public to see in a general way the
class of work which has been done.
The state-aid law provides that the
various counties shall maintain the
roads which have been and are being
improved under state aid. To date
only few counties are paying any at
tention to this phase OF the work,
which 10 beyond doubt one Of the most
important features. Where no atten-
ton is paid to maintenance, the roads
will have to be resurfaced at the end
Of three or four yeaSs, which will in
volve a considerable expenditure Of
money. II Is suggested that county
can make no better investment than
to inaugurste the patrol system. A
\ few loads of stone and screening can
be dumped along the road at intervals
| of about an eighth of q mile and one
man designated to handle five or six
miles OF road. He should be equipped
\ with all small tools in order that he
may be able to keep the bitches ant
culverts clean and to cut the weeds
along the road, as we'll as patch tht
holes, etc, that develop. This system
should be inausurated immediatel!
after the road is built, for 1t is at tina
time that the road needs perhaps NOR
maintenance than at any other time
A good time to patch holes Is imme
diately after a rain, because at sue
times they can be easily found, as Wa
ter will usually be standing in them.
Quite a few disputes have arise
over the designation Of inter-count
seat roads, and it Is to be hoped thI
the iscal courts and citizens OF Il
various counties win cooperate In Il
selection OF these various routes al
! see that. the best routes are selecte
. regardless of the fact that they do I
do not benefit few citizens to Il
! exclusion OF the general public. tt
, people of county should kLow beyoI
! a reasonable doubt what route shou
: be selected. and only by laying asit
; selfish motives and thoroughly coo
Grating with county and state officia
can road work ever be made q succe
or the county receive the benefits
which II In entitled.

totaIed s13.99e.000. against s54s.000 for
the same period in 1914. This merely is
one concrete example of what becomes
of our supplies.
"Similar figures can be given in the
case of Denmark and Sweden. 1t
is. therefore. our duty to ourselves and
as step toward the ending Of the war
that we supply no foodstuffs to neutral
nations" M
BY curtailing the menu at the annual
banquet last night, the association was
enabled to donate $1,000 to the Red
Cross fund. The customary charge of
SIS plate was made and by cutting
down the outlay for food the substan-
tial donation to the Red Cross became
possible.

President Wilson is closely allied. and
that it is ordered because Wall street

liberty BONDS GOOD
IN RED CROSS DRIVE

Liberty bonds are going to
swell the Red Cross war relief
fund.
The movement was started in
Was hington by Mrs. Amos G..
Draper, prominent in the D. A.
r.
Mrs. Draper telephoned yes
terday to the headquarters of
the Red Cross war council Of
fering to contribute several lib
ertv bonds she had bought last
week. The offer was promptly
accepted.
A message was flashed by
telegraph to all centers through
out the country stating that in
the big drive for SlO0,OO0,OOO
liberty bonds are good" and
all day messages have been
coming in reporting that many
liberty bonds have been dropped
into the Red Cross war fund
chest.
While the liberty bonds rep
resent a loan to the govern
ment they are already selling
at par in the New York stock
market. With such fnancier
as Henry P. Dawson of the ].
P Morgan Company as its
chairman the war council has
no doubt of being able to real
ize on the liberty bonds just as
soon as the money for relief
work is needed.
