"A person who has obtained patent

one hundred and sixty acres can en-
ter such area of these lands as will,
when added to the land embraced IN
his former entry amount, in the ag-
gregate, to one hundred and sixty
acres. 1t will be necessary for a per-
son who intends to make second or
additional entry to mention that fact
III his application for registration.
but at the time he applies to make Sec
ond or additional entry, he must fur
nish the description and date of his
former entry, the number Of the en-
try, and the land Office at which the.
entry was made, In the manner pre-

ton for registration must swear that
he is qualified to, make homestead

the sole purpose of securing lands for
his own use as a home, and for i'm
provement and cultivation; that he
does not expect or intend to make
entry in the interests Of any other
persoS or for speculative purposes.
From this, 1t follows that any person
who intends to make entry for the
purpose of speculation by selling his
REIMBURSEMENT or by disposing of the
lands at the earliest possible date,
Must be guilty of false swearing be-
fore he can obtain registration. N
These lands embrace eight hundred

left subject to homestead entry can
not be determined until these allot-
ments have been approved These
lands are said to be desirable for
farming and grazing and similar lands
