HOMESTEAD RIGHTS.
The Veteran Must Live Specified Term
Upon the Land That He Pre-Empts.

Statements have been made to vet
Grams concerning homestead entries
that are SO misleading that a good
deal of confusion has arisen as to what
their rights really are. In the first
place. there is no law upon the statute
books which permits a soldier to file
upon land and secure title and not live
upon 1t. He may file through an attor-
ney, but within six months he must
commence his settlement and improve
ments. Unless he appears on that land
at the end Of that six months after To-
eating his homestead his claim Is la
BILE to be Jumped and he will find
himself without recourse so far as that
particular piece Of land Is concerned.
All Union soldiers. sailors and ma
rines will have deducted from the five
years between entry and final proof
on a homestead the years of service in
the war of the rebellion. II the claim
ant served four years, he will have to
live on this homestead but one year.
If he served but one year, he will have
to live on the land four years. II he
served nine months, then he will have
