STANTON.
(By p. o. Derthick.)

J. S. Even and ID. r.. Clark were
at Rosslyn Tuesday on business.
Mrs. Cora Gamboe made busi-
ness and pleasure trip to l.. 4 +.
Junction one day last week.
J. w. Feltner, of London, Ky,
was here this past week in the in
terest of club work for the boys
and girls of Stanton.
Master Marion Atkinson was in
the hospital at Lexington the past
week where he was operated on for
tonsilitis. His father, Clarence At
kinson, reports him as doing fine.
Clarence Atkinson has piped gas
from the well drilled on j. ID. At
kinson's place to his home and is
cooking with it. We hope enough
gas can be found so we can all have
it in our homes.
DR.. j. Z. Lemming returned home
Sunday night from Jacksonville,
Florida. The Doctor spent the lat
ter part of the winter in the sunny
southland and says he had a fine
time, and grew fat. It's interesting
to hear him tell of the country and
his visit.
These news items are being writ
ten from Pine Ridge, in Wolfe coun-
ty, where the writer accompanied
II. III. Harrison and James Feltner,
of London, both Agricultural State
Agents, who held "A meeting Tues
day night in the Pine Ridge College
building.
Rev. j. heiy Giffen accompanied
by A. b. hamilton, of Pennsylva-
MIA, are in Tennessee this week
looking over some school buildings
in view of the new dormltory to be
built here. They will be gone over
a week ending this trip with visit
to Berea College on the 18th.
Rev. Joe Kincaid, who has been
preaching at the Christian Church,
was taken with a hemorrhage at
his home in st. Helens and ordered
by his Doctor to seek a western
climate for his health. So Bro.
Kincaid has left for some place IN
the west and will not be able to
preach here any more.
A second oil well was drilled in
on John w. Williams farm Satur-
day. 1t is reported to be a ten bar
rel well. The people of Stanton are
quite excited over this new well,
and well they might be. 1t looks
as though Stanton is situated in the
oil belt after all. Oil men are going
to thoroughly test out the field and
see what there is in it.
Jouett Boone left Tuesday for
Louisville whore - will try to enter
the Aviation corp. One by one our
fine young men are leaving for the
battle fields and may God speed
the day when this awful war will
be over. But we must crush the
foe that is menace to the whole
world. The world will never be safe
till Germany has been thoroughly
beaten and her militarism crushed
to earth. The safety of the world
lies with the great battle being
taught, but we believe the victory
will be on the side Of the Allies.

1000 CITY DEEDS
ARE REGISTERED
UNDER NEW LAW
Movement Started to Have
Safety Vault Built For
Valuable Records

Approximately 1000 deeds of city
properties have been presented at
the office of City Engineer NJ. b.
Cowden for registration he annornc-
ed. The majority of these are from
the Tenth and Fourteenth wards.
where owners were notified to bring
the instruments showing title to
properties so that they could be reg
istered Mr.. Cowden said that al
though these are the only two wards
or which calls for deeds have been
made. that hundreds of owners of
buildings and unseated ground in
other districts are bringing in deeds
also. Ninth ward residents are in
the lead having almost 1000 on rec
ord although Mr.. Cowden does not
expect to reach this ward for many
weeks yet.
A recent act of the Legislature re-
quires all cities of the third class
TO register all deeds showing title to
properties within the city. Harris
burg councilmen a few months ago
passed am ordinance embodying the
requirements of the state law and
providing a penalty of S5 for failure
TO comply with the provisions.
City Engineer Cowden was then
directed together with City Assessor
James c. Thompson and other Off
cials, to investigate the methods used
After weeks of study a form was
adopted for Harrisburg. Property
owners when they bring deeds for
registration are required to furnish n
TO the city engineer an exact copy
of the description of the property
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-09-27

which they own as recited in the
deed they hold. This copy is kept
on file in the engineers office and the
deed is stamped registered" and
given back to the property owner.
The copy which is retained is mark
ed according to the lot location of
the property as shown on the city
official maps.
Need Protection
Because of the expense and time
required to complete this work a
number of city officials are again
calling attention to the lack of fire
which is being collected. At pres
ent. all the maps and records of the
deeds as recorded are on file in the
city engineers office but not in a
fireproof vault.
y suggestion was made that city
officials should take some immediate
action to provide vault in which
valuable city records could be kept
so that in case of fire they would
not be damaged. The copies of deeds
as filed at the engineers office are
placed on wooden shelves with no
protection. Should a blaze start in
the room in a few minutes the docu-
ments would be greatly damaged or
probably totally destroyed it was
pointed out.
According to City Engineer Cow
den the registration system used in
Harrisburg is equal to the best in
the country and gives the city a conf
plete Official record of all property
owners preventing a possibility of
duplicate assessment of not assess
ing an owner because of exact record
of who holds title to the property
is available. All deeds for transfers
of real estate in the city which are
presented now at the Office of the
county recorder must bear the stamp
of the city engineers office also.
\ number of real estate dealers.
attorneys and others interested in
realty business are advertising that
they will make copies of the deeds
and have the instruments recorded
saving owners any further concern
about the new city law. Small fees
are charged and city officials said
that this plan is largely responsible
for the large number of deeds being
received from wards other than the
ITenth and Fourteenth.

the hope that he might forget. Then
he was called in the draft and sent
to Camp Meade.
When he was given a furlough he
went home to say good-by to his

of New Troops to War

Washington, d. c., Sept. 27.-Be-
cause of epidemics OF Spanish in
tiuenza in Army camps, Provost Mar
shall General Crowder last night can
celed calls for the entrainment be-
tween October and IL of 900
draft registrants. rN
During the twenty-four hours end
ing at noon to-day, 6,139 new cases
of influenza III Army camps had been
reported to the office of the surgeon
general of the Army. One hundred
and seventy deaths, resulting chiefly
from pneumonia following influenza,
and 72S new cases of pneumonia also
were reported.
Two camps, Kearney. Cal. and
Eustis, Va, were added to-day to the
list of those where influenza has
made its appearance, leaving only
thirteen camps free from the disease,
The total number of cases of ;n-
fiueDza in all camps was placed al
SO, ,146, with 3,036 cases of pneumo-
MIA. One out of every four men al
Camp Devens, Mass, has contracted
influenza, it was announced, and ten
per cent. OF the cases have develop
ed into pneumonia.
In canceling the call for the en-
trainment OF the draft registrants
early next month, General Crowder
acted upon instructions from General
March, chief of staff. Every state
and the District of Columbia had
been assigned quotas, and the men
were to have gone to practically all
of the camps in the country. The
men probably will not be entrained
until after the Influenza epidemic
has been checked.
1t was said at the office of the sur
geon general of the Army last night
that every possible precaution is be
ing taken in all camps to check the
spread of the disease, but that des-
pite all measures it is believed tho
disease will run its course and prob
ably spread to still other camps. Ad-
ditional physicians and nurses have
been sent to camps where the cpl
demic is most severe.

WILSON THINKS
WHEAT CHANGE
IS BENEFICIAL

A. W. Wilson, federal food adminis-
traitor for Minnesota, was in Moor
head today in conference with the
County Food Administrator Edgar S.
Sharp, and officers of the Clay county
Food Dealers association. MIR. Wilson
arranged to come to Moorhead next
Sunday evening to deliver an address
at a public meeting on Food Conser-
walton" The meeting will probably
be held at the Normal School audi
forum, and all food dealers of the
county, as well as the general pub
lie, win be invited to attend.
Speaking of the food situation, Mr..
Wilson said: with all the things we
have to eat, there would be no suffer-
ing IL the people were compelled to
go without bread for four weeks" In
regard to notifications of the ma
tional food order, Mr.. Wilson said it
would be fairer. to suspend the modi-
f1catton for three miles from the bor-
der in states where changes have been
made than to modify them i'm adjoin-
ing states where the regulations are
unchanged.
Il am glad Pres. Wilson fixed the
price Of wheat for it settles the Ques-
ton for the farmer and will have
tendency to stabilize prices of other
grains. We assume that the farmers
have good. horse sense and will plant
wheat, the price Of which is regulated,
instead OF seeding other grains that
will be unstable in price," said Mr..
Wilson. The Btate food administra-
tor said the fact that the 1917 corn
crop was not fully mature was an inn
portant factor in the advance in
prices Of -four substitutes as 1T com
PEELED the use of oats and barley in
stead Of corn.

BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS
GREAT HELP TO men

Camp Library Service. saws
Burton e. Stevenson at Camp Sher-
man recently, has been established
for just one purpose, that is to help
win the war, and there are three
ways in which it can help; first by
helping to maintain the morale OF
the men by providing them with
interesting and entertaining reading
matter to help tide them over the
moments Of loneliness and depression
which comes to every one; second, by
helping Ito educate them as to the
causes of the war and make them
realize that they are not lighting
Frances fight, England's fight or
Italy's fight, but Americas fight
that IL is not Belgium or France or
England that Germany is seeking to
destroy, but the ideals and principles
which form the very foundation
stones Of this republic; third, by
providing the men with special
technical books along their several
lines and so making them better and
more efficient soldiers"
Surely those reasons mentioned are
enough to make US all want to help
the boys in training. VIII all per-
sons who have books, good novels,
travel or any books that are Of inter-
est that they wish to donate, call the
public library and the books viii be
called for The library has been
requested to ship the books at once,
so please call 1472-J if you have
books that you want to give to these
camp libraries.

The Germans took shelter in a dug
out rooted with rails and sand bags.
A French shell made a direct hit and
the enemy scattered about the
trench. At the same moment the
Americans and French jumped in.
There was some hand-to- hand
fighting but the entire enemy party
at this point was captured. The
raiders chased the enemy out Of other
shelters and along communicating
trenches without catching any. There
was some criticism Of the fact that
the Americans were so enthusiastic
that they went beyond their Objee-
tives.
The raiders and prisoners started
back across No Mans Land on sched-
ule time, but were caught in a Ger
man counter barFage. One enemy
shell wounded five Germans and six
Frenchmen but no Americans. The
prisoners were from 16 to 30 years
old. All apparently were undernour-
ished, but said that food was plenti-
full in the trenches. The similarity
Of their stories, however, aroused
suspicious. Most Of the prisoners
formerly worked in factories or on
farms.
