Land Commissioner. The offi cer who is authorised to take land proofs and filings is a United States Commissioner, the appointed by Judge of the federal court, and hi is an officer of the federal court and under the Department of Justice, not the Interior Department, or Land Department as it is called in the west. A United States Commissioner is primarily a court commissioner, ap pointed to transact court business, but congress has provided that people who wish to make out land pa pers may go before a United States Commissioner and swear to such pa pers Instead of going before the reg ister or receiver of the district lan office. This is merely a convenience to the public, for otherwise every entryman would have to go, and usual ly take two witnesses, before the register and receiver whenever he had any land papers to' make out. A United States Commissioner Is land office. He is not an agent for the land office and does not pass on any papers he executes. In taking final proofs he inusf see that the pro ceedings are regular and that the answers t othe Questions bring out all the pertinent facts; also that the witnesses are examined separately, and are each duly sworn, and he must transmit final proof testimony to the land office, although he does not have to collect and transmit the fees in connection with final proofs unless he wishes to. In executing the entries and other papers he is not In any way responsible for the correctness of the papers he executes, but merely for the fact that they were duly subscribed and sworn to before him, as set forth in his certificate. He may. If he chooses, and the entryman desires him to, prepare any and all papers. and may charge any reasonable fee for so doing, but when he is prepaj; ing papers, other than final proof testimony, he is acting as agent for the entryman. and not In nny official capacity. States Commissioner's office work is similar In land place to a notary public's work in connec tion with conveyancing. If one takes deed to a notary public for acknowledgement, the notary does not need to know whetehr the person who makes the teed owns the land or not. whether there are prlar mort gages ornot. or whetehr the deed Is properly drawu. The notsry merely satisfies himself that the person who signs the deed Is the one who ap pears before hom and acknowledges it and that is at far as his respons htllf roes. If the purchaser finds that the property was mortgaged Ik cannot hold the notary responsible. So it Is with United States Commisto sioner. He cannot be expected in Government any represent the sense, and as su official of the Unit i States Court ho is not responflble for the preparation of land pep" any craore than he le for carpenter work or any other services which he may oerform for th public. He is not paid any salary and Is not furnished with any msps, plots. records, blank forms', or other sup piles. He must buy all blank forms be uses, and If he wants copies of land office plots" bVmust make them ' himself, or hire somebody else to make the, the aame as any other In dividual. The land office does not furnish him with records of filings made in his neighborhood, or recognlxe him in any way.

The measure of confidence reposed in the American Red Cross by the United States Government was evidenced, in the prompt action taken by President Coolidge, directing that the organization take the burden of responsibility for handling of the five million dollar relief fund pledged for stricken Japan, immediately after news of the gigantic disaster reached1 this country. The characteristic readiness of the Red Cross to serve was at once manifest in the mode of procedure taken by Red Cross Division offices, contracting all chapters.
