RED CROSS IN FOURTH "ROLL CALL CAMPAIGN Day The Department of Home Service which last year helped the families of -32,535 needy soldiers and sailors. ~ These men crossed the seas for you. The Department of Disaster Pre- ~ paredness. Three times in less than one year this department showed its ability for quick action. When in- . cendiary fires back of the yards drove 603 people into the streets, the Red Cross furnished 1,079 garments and ~ adminstered food and money to start anew. After the race riots, when 20,000 colored men were tem- porarily idle, the packers offered to underwrite expenses, if the Red Cross would distribute supplies. The quick relief given not only kept many from starvation, but did much to quiet unrest of 20,000 idle men. When a tornado struck Melrose Park and vicinity, the Red Cross ap- | 'propriated $10,000 for first relief, opened stations and co-operated with the local committees in the furnish- ing of food, clothing and shelter, and later helped in the distribution of $243,683.87. Through this co-opera- tion many homes were rebuilt which otherwise would haye been lost. In case of fire, flood or any other dis- aster this department is ready to serve your city. Through the Teaching Center de- partment thousands of Chicago and Cook County women have learned 'how to care for their sick, in an 'emergency. The Department of First Aid with its Sanitary training de- partment and classes in water first aid may save the live of one near to you. The Bureau of Junior activ- ities aim is to train children for | citizenship through service. Your ~~ dollar membership will help in all this work. Vote to Re-Elect =P.J.CARR Democratic Candidate for Trustee Sanitary District of Chicago Election Day - Nov. 2, 1920 Public sentiment should be arous- ed in the interest of P. J. Carr, | Democratic candidate for Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago, inasmuch as he was one of the 'I'staunchest supporters; of all pro- jects in which our community was 1 vitally interest ed, especially in the building of the Lake Front Park and the turning »f same over to our vil- lage. Improve- ments in the Wilmette Har- bor, also con- struction of the North Shore In- tercepting sewer from Glencoe to connect with the channel at Wil- mette. : Mr. Carr has visited our community many times "during his term of office, and has taken a keen interest in our wel- fare. This should entitle him to the support of all the citizens in our immediate locality, irrespective of partisan politics. Some of the accomplishments of Mr. Carr during his six year 'term as Trustee of the District include: Reduction of typhoid rate to 1.4 per hundred thousand. 3 Reduction of lighting cost $95.00 per arc light. Closed Bubbly creek and opened 39th street. Passed 'ordinance for bridges at California, Crawford, Cicero and 72nd avenues. Built sewage plant at Calumet, Morton Grove and Des Plaines. Reduced Sanitary District tax levy.. Championed ordinance compelling 'packers to pay their share for sew- age disposal. ~~ Advocated sewers in 111 Chicago suburbs. Mr. Carr's platform for re-election "contains, among other things, a pledge that if elected he will not vote for the issuance of bonds by the Sanitary District without first § submitting same to the people for ~ § a referendum vote; further that «he § will continue to work in the inter- est of better street lighting, good drinking water and a reduction of the tax levy of the District to a minimum: : ; ~ SIX YEARS OF HONEST, EFFI- § CIENT AND ENERGETIC SERVICE | WELL PERFORMED SHOULD EN- | TITLE TO RE 10D ROAD IS OBSCURED BY BURNING LEAVES; TWO AUTOS COLLIDE Six Northwestern university stu- dents escaped with only a few minor injuries from what might have been a serious accident when the auto- mobiles® in which they were riding collided in Sheridan road, near Fos- ter street, Evanston. L. P. Couffer, together with Marie Fisher and Duncan Rockhold, were driving south on Sheridan road be- tween Library place and Foster street. - Elizabeth Cutler, Edith Huey and Henrietta Calkins were driving north, There was considerable traf- fic on the street and at that point there was a heavy smoke from the burning of leaves along the side. Both drivers were apparently blinded by the smoke and a héad-on collision resulted. There were no serious accidents Torrens Facts Things You Ought to Know About the Torrens System WHY JOSEPH F. HAA SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED RECORDER OF DEEDS AND REGISTRAR OF TITLES Soon after Josepn F. Haas was elected Recorder of Deeds and Re- gistrar of Titles, he found that the Torrens system was being conduct- ed for the benefit of a small coterie of men who were the recipients -of rank favoritism. They claimed to be friends of the Torrens system, but their friend- ship was based what they what they could it. = That men are to spend thousands of dol- lars in trying to defeat Joseph F. Haas for re-elec- tion only brings up the query "How much more do they expect to gain for themselves by his defeat?" These men who pose as "friends" of the Torrens system in 1918 went before the County Board and asked that no appropriation be made for the newspaper advertising there- fore considered essential for ex- tending and promoting the Torrens system. A private monopoly could ask for no better friends than these men who have made it possible for it to advertise in the daily papers every day, while the Torrens sys- tem cannot spend one penny upon such advertisement. The only ad- vertisement which the system re- ceives today is the ability to deliver the goods. The boom years of the last demo- cratic administration were from 1913 to 1916. Taking the six months period ending June 1, 1913, as a starting point and the six months period ending May 31, 1920, for com- parison, it will be found that the number of documents filed during those six months periods has jumped from 4276 to 8983, the number of certificates issued has jumped from 2626 to 4882, the num- ber of transfers from 1902 to 3308, the consideration for those trans- fers from $3,034,624.97 to $5,023,- 782.00 the number of trust deeds fil- ed from 1444 to 2567, the amount se- cured by those trust deeds from $3,- 070,960.81 to $8,863,414. In other words the work of the office is near- ly double, while it has been handled in a manner that has secured the commendation of the Chicago Bureau of Public Efficiency. If work is done carelessly or negligently it will be reflected in payments from the indemnity fund. $1,285.67 has actually been paid out of the indemnity fund for errorsdur- ing the last administration, as com- pared with $52.75 paid out for er- rors during the administration of Mr. Haas. In addition thereto there are - claims aggregating several thousands of dollars now pending for errors made during the last ad- ministration, on which payments will have to be made. Compare this with the $52.75 paid out during this administration. During the seventeen years and eight months in which the Torrens system was in existence prier to this administration 67,672 docu- ments were registered. During the three years and ten months of the administration of Mr. Haas 54,896 documents have been registered. In addition 2544 decrees have been en- tered. In only eight cases have the rulings of examiners of title under Mr. Haas ever been disturbed by court order. In the opinions rendered by the Supreme Court of Illinois at the June, 1920, term, the 'Supreme Court either allowed re- hearings or modified its own opinions in nearly one-third of the cases decided by it. In view of this the record of Mr. Haas and his assistants is a remarkable one. He is proud of his record and justly so. What Joseph F. Haas stands Wor is for security of the registered owners and the indemnity fund of | the county of Cook. He does not stand for carelessness "and neg- ligence merely to allow certain real | estate brokers to earn fat com- 'missions. 2 : a to any of the occupants of the cars, but both cars were badly damaged. "You ought to read the newspapers and get a different opinion." "Opin- ion! Good Lord, man, I have three already." Save Cook County! Michael IL. Igoe, candidate for State's Attorney, will drive crim- inals from Cook county, and there- by diminish erime. He will smash organized vice and root out neigh- borhood temptations which are a menace to our boys and girls. Chicago is facing a very grave moral cris- is. Our men and women must decide by their ballot whether crime shall be sup- pressed, criminals . punished, and wastrels in public office held to strict accountability for their acts. Do you want the forces of evil that are responsible for the appall- ing vice and crime conditions in Cook county to seize control of the machinery of the criminal law? That is exactly what they propose to do if they should be successful in electing their candidate for State's Attorney. Your sole reliance for the main- tenance of law and order, during the next four years, will be your State's Attorney. If he should be the creature of the forces that are responsible for our existing mis- fortunes, then, indeed, our situation will be hopeless. Is it not a matter of enlightened self interest, therefore, that. you vote for the candidate who is free from evil alliances, and who is pledged to employ all of the great powers of the office for the safe- guarding of the loved ones in your homes and the protection of your civil rights and property. Let us save Chicago by voting for Michael L. Igoe for State's Attorney. How 1t Grows HEN fifteen telephones are added on a street on which there are 100 telephone users, an additional distribution cable may be necessary. When the same thing hap- pens on six or eight nearby streets, served from the same cable terminal, there must be new main cables from terminal boxes to the exchange. Such increases from several | localities soon call for additions to switchboard and terminal room facilities. Finally a new exchange, with its costly equipment, must be built, and extensive re-distribution made of the outside plant. These are some of the elements which enter into the cost of supply- ing telephone service to growing communities. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY C. H.
