More Suits Filed in Van Buren,
County, Michigan, to Remove
Clouds on Titles Than in Any
Other County in the United
States.
Land Sharks and Others So Bold In
Their Juggling Of Books and De.
scriptions That Uncle Sam
May Get Them.

There are more suits fled in the
courts of Van Buren, County, Michi.
gan, to remove CLOUDS from land titles
than there are filed for that purpose
in any other county in the United
States, including those containing the
largest cities in the country.
There have been more professional
land thieves at work in Van Buren,
County than In any other county In
the United States, and they are still
at work.
Men connected with certain lines
Of business and using officials elected
In some townships as their tools are
engaged all Of the time in clouding
the titles of honest and bona fide land
owners.
This fact has done more to keep the
county back than any other thing.
The bad name given to this part of
the State of Michigan by the land
crooks is becoming by.word through.
out the nation.
Many Of these crooks claim land
on the strength Of tax titles-ob.
tanned after the rightful owners had
paid the taxes-through juggling of
descriptions and tax books.
Efforts are to be made to reach
some OF them through Federal action.
as the peculiar hold they have on local
authorities precludes hope Of reform
In that direction.
Victims of these bands of crooks
are advised that II they live outside
of Michigan they can bring suit
against officials. hackers, brokers or
others who damage them or their In
terests in the U. s. courts.
The citizens Of Van Buren, County
should wake up to the situation and
retire these grafters to the peniten.
tiary or to some other place where
their public records cannot injure the
community.
Van Buren, County is naturally rich
in soil, delightful In climate and geo.
graphically ideal for success in every
line.
Its prospects have been blighted.
The testimony OF all outside people
who have invested there Is that they
have been skinned and bothered by
the land shark syndicate.

COULD BE SIMPLER ONE
Pope Has His Ideas of What League
Should Be.

Rome, March 1.-THE Ossavatore
Romano. the semi official organ of
the vatican prints an article on the
league of nations which is understood
to embody the viewpoint of the Holy
See. 1t says the league might have
been constituted in a simpler man
ner," and outlines the functions of the
league as follows:
The setting up of an arbitration
tribunal to solve international con-
flicts.
The formation of a society of all
civilized nations including those de-
feated in the war which will pledge
themselves to submit their differences
to a tribunal and accept its rulings.
The bringing about of an agreement
to declare an economic boycott against
any nation which refuses to submit
controversies to a tribunal or which
will not accept decisions on matters
which have been so submitted.
In conclusion the article recalls that
such a project was suggested in the
pope's appeal to belligerent nations
on August l, 1917.

POWER SHOWS INCREASE
Kansas Report for Electric Plants
Denotes Good Growth for State.

Washington, D. c.. March 12.-Pre-
liminary figures of the Forthcoming
quinquennial report on the central
electric light and power stations of
the state of Kansas have been given
out by Director Sam. L. Rogers, of
the Bureau of the Census, Department
of Commerce. They were prepared
under the supervision of Eugene F.
Hartley, chief statistician for manu-
features.
The statistics relate to the years
ending December 81. 1917. 1912, and
1907, and cover both commercial and
municipal plants. They do not how
ever, cover electric plants operated by
factories, hotels, etc, which generate
current for their own consumption;
those operated by the federal govern
ment and state institutions; and those
that were idle or in course of construc
ton.
Large increases are shown for sub
sfantially all items for both five-year
periods covered by the table, the
growth in the industry from 1912 to
1917 being greater in absolute
amounts than during the preceding
five years, altho some of the percen-
ia ges of increase are less for the later
period than for the earlier. The num-
Der of stations increased from Ill in
1907 to 176 in 1912 and to 500 in 1917.
The actual number of new esta blish-
ments added since 1912 was 1873. of
which 81 we're commercial and 81
municipal; but, as the result of a
number OF combinations in the COM
mercial systems, and various other
changes, a net increase of only 126
establishments % of which were
commercial and 104 municipal, is
shown by the figures. In 1917, the
total income, 96.S per cent of which
was for electric service, amounted to
$685., 51S, the percentage of increase
being 1903 and 99.4 for the two per-
iods, 19121917 and 19O7-1912 re-
spectively. The total expenses in 1917
were $6,O14,633, the percentage of in
crease for the later and earlier five
year periods being 129 and 1856, re-
spectively. The total horsepower in
1917 was 207,S54, an increase of lila
per cent as compared with 1912, and
during the preceding five years the
rate of increase was 1898 per cent
Steam supplied the greater part of the
horsepower at each of the three CEN
suses for which figures are given, the
being sos, S3.S, and 1876, respectively.
The total dynamo capacity, 143,274
kilowatts in 1917. shows an increase
of 10Y per cent as compared with
1912, the rate of increase during the
preceding five-year period being 1853
per cent The output of current gem
Grated in 1917 269, 9S3,64S kilowatt
hours, represents an increase of 102. 6
per cent over 1912; from 1907 to 1912
the rate OF increase was 1881 per
cent. The mum Der of arc street lamps
decreased from 1898 in 1912 to 2666
IN 1917, or 1922 per cent, while the in
candescents increased iE number from
l4,o13 to 1910, or 141.3 per cent
