al levantarle, no Sc le %encOntro mas
oue una Igera herida, con dos o
tres gotitas de metal cuajadas entire

Entonces Ie entraba a! chico mu-
enc miedo de que 10 sobasen, y vol
via a jugar solo. sin decir una pa!a-
bra, a~rrastrandose pesadamente de
una habitaci6n a otra. Hasta los
dieciocho amos no lie. revelaron sus
padres ell tesoro monstruoso con que

brado con las rioueZas que llevaba en-
Ia cabeza, poseido de locos deseoS,

Por el tren reg!o de vida que lie

THIEVES IN AUTO
ESCAPE PURSUERS
Men Break Mount Airy Garage
Window and Gather Six
Tires Worth $500
PEDESTRIANS IN DANGER

Two thieves won a dramatic auto
mobile race last night with a patrol
man and garage owner after they had
broken a garage display window and
stolen six tires worth $500.
At 915 o'clock Ray Bracken, joint
owner, with his brother, Andrew
Bracken, Of the Mount Airy garage,
Germantown and Gowen avenues, was
working in the rear of the building.
Bracken heard crash and thought
two motorcars had collided in front of
the garage. A minute later. when he
walked forward, he saw a man throw
ing tires into the tonneau of a motor
car. Another man was at the wheel.
The engine was throbbing.
About the same moment that Bracken
ran to the sidewalk, Frank Xinn. a
patrolman, of the Germantown station,
started toward the thieves. Inn is a
son Of Lieutenant Zinn, of the Ger
mantown station.
The thief on the curb leaped into the
motorcar and he and his companion
shot down Germantown avenue at high

voluntary. The statute would have pro
visions that viii appeal to owners OF
land, especially in the larger counties.
In order that the rights of possible
claimants may be safeguardcd, and ade-
quate assurance fund should be pro-
vided by the state.
Present Plan Too Costly
Mr.. Siegert pointed out that thou
sands of dollars are paid out annually
IN this city to get opinions upon the
titles to pieces of real estate under the
present system of land transfer.
From our own experiences in Phila
delphia," continued Mr.. Siegert, 1--WE
all know that questionable titles may
be refused insurance by one title com
pany upon the opinion of the proper
officer of that company, and yet will be
insured by another title company on ac-
count of different opinion or the pay
ment of higher premium by the proper
officer of that company.
1--WE must further realize that the
title company 'insuring such a title as
sumes its responsibility only to the per-
son or corporation insured. Should the
insured sell the property and the new
purchaser fail to have his title insured
by the company his insurance ceases
and the new purchaser has no better
title than il the property had never
been insured.
Under the Torrcns system the ex-
animation would be official against the
whole world, because of an official ex
animation and decree of the land regis
tration court. This will of necessity be q
greater protection to any property own

Cresco Wins Two Games.

Cresco has good ball team, one that
is bringing out the crowds. The game
last Sunday played with Elma brought
out probably the largest crowd ever on
that grounds. and while they saw .
good game it was too one-sided to be
interesting. Elma being shut out while
Cresco pi|eu up nine runs and could
have made more out Cresco's pitcher
made things as easy ss possible for the
Elma bunch so as to make as good a
game as possible for the spectators. g
But if the Sunday game was some
what disappointing. the Monday game
made up for it as it, took ten innings
to give Gees o . 8 to 2 victory over the
M:Intire team. 1t wasa good clean
game closely played By both teams.
Miner, the young McIntire pitcher
plsyed's veterans game and earned
the admiration Of the fans no matter
from what town they hailed.

FARM DEPARTMENT.
Conducted by the Farm Bureau.

The State Veterinarian Association
at their recent meeting invited E. H.
Cunningham, Secretary Of the Iowa
Farm Bureau Federation to confer
with them on the matter of a uni
form price for hog cnolera serum. AS
a result of the conference the veter-
inarians passed resolution to the
effect that in no case shall the serum
be sold at more than Is per cent a.
bove cost price. -, .5 J. : .n' -,
There has been considerable lack
of uniformity in the matter of selling
hog cholera serum and 1t is estimated
that the conference will mean saw
ing of 100000 to Iowa farmers.

address to a large picnic crowd at
Vernon Springs Park last Monday.
He then told of the Farm Bureau
movement and clearly showed that
it has been conducted along sane and
conservative lines. -
Mr.. Hunt was followed by his team
mate, E. H. Cunningham. Secretary
of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation,
who gave splendid address. Mr.. Cum
ningham showed how the Iowa FARM
Bureau Federation backed up by 49,
900 members is getting some definite
results.
In spite of the rain the farm bur-
eau program of speaking, music, and
a baseball game were carried out as
planned but considerable disappoint-
ment exists over the lack of amuse-
ments in the park. A movement is
to be put under way to change the
grounds into state park. A,~s.~--.. -.~r
