Three Important
Considerations

| In buying Life Insurance there are
three important considerations thai
should have great weight with the in
diyidual who seeks to safeguard his
| family, estate or his own old age.
First. The record and history Of the
company. He should inquire as to
how long the company has been In
business and as to whether or not 1t
has always been absolutely square In
its dealings with policyholders on
principle, and not because forced to
be SO by law. If q company Is without
ace and a clean record-a record above
reproach-it should not receive the
same consideration as one that has
both, any more than young medical
student should or does receive the
same consideration as the veteran
physician who has established HIM
self in the confidence of the public by
a long, honorable and successful ca
reer.
Second. The terms Of the contract
issued. There are some features about
the contracts Of all reputable compa-
nies that to the layman look alike, y
but in reality are often very different.
Be sure that you understand every i'm
portant provision in a contract you
are considering. Study it before you
buy.
Third. Remember that the policy
bought today may remain In force 25
to SO years and that you will pay hard
cash for it and therefore should in
sure in a company that you can feel
sure, by reason Of its past record and
present financial strength, will be on
hand to deliver the goods when pay
day comes.
II you are guided by the foregoing
suggestions you will not go far wrong,
and If you fail to insure in the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Co., Of Newark,
N. J., it will either be because you al
lowed yourself to become convinced
that another agent represented "just
as good" company, or were unable to
pass a satisfactory medical examina-
ton.

Uncle Remus and His Rival.-"Joel
Chandler Harris" said an Albanian
used to write comic newspaper edi-
torials. Sometimes he made fun OF
rival editors in them, too.
Simon Simpson, a rival editor in
Mobile, having been made fun of, wrote
angrily in his rag:
Joel Harris has been getting of
some cheap wit at our expense"
Joel, on reading this, grabbed his
pen and dashed off quick as flash fol

Commuters" May Lose Land, Even
After Living Upon It. Don't Try
Unless You Want a Home.

A most important decision has
been handed down by the interior
departments decision OF intense
interest to thousands of men who
expect to take a chance in Uncle
Sans big land lottery of August g..
If you're trying to get home
stead for real home, 60 ahead.
If you're holding to draw land,
live on it IA months, commute as
quickly as possible, and then move
away-don't do it.
When the time is up you may
find you have lost the land.
Even though proof offered shows
technical compliance with respect
to inhabitancy of the land entered
for the period ordinarily required
in Communication cases, it most
further be shown that the entryman
went to the land with the intention
of making it his permanent res
idence this is the meat of q ruling
that as been handed down by the
secretary of the interior. In other
words, those who propose to
make entry Of Uncle Sans domain
must remember that if he goes to
the land with the intention of COM
muting after he has made his
entay, and this can be shown, proof
may be rejected by officers.
IT'S HOME, Nor A CAMP.
Residence within the meaning
of the homestead law must be es-
tablished and maintained with the
intent to make permanent home
upon the land to the exclusion OF
a home elsewhere. 1t can not be
acquired by mere occupancy with
a view solely to acquiring title by
a colorado compliance with the
law, by actual residence must bt
maintained in good faith with thu
intent to make it permanent. Such
intent be must present at the initia
ton of every entry, whether The
title is acquired after the full pericd
of residence prescribed by law, o.
at the expiration of the shorter
period under the Communication

provisions of the act. There is but
one character of evidence applioa-
BILE to every homestead, and that
means residence having the char
acter Of permancy, and established
and maintained with such intent.
CIRCUMSTANCES DIFFER
THE intent of the Communication
provision is Individually deceivable
from tina act itself, An onerous
task was imposed of five years
residence and cultivation as con-
dition to the title. In the mutua-
bility of human affairs it was evil
dent that some who accepted the
proposal in utmost good faith with
intent to comply strictly, would be
unable to do. 80, and others could
not without unreasonable incon-
venience and loss. With some such
provisions they would be compelled
to lose all expenditure for improve
ment and all time served on the
entry period, as well as the loss OF
the homestead right.
WOULD DEFEAT OBJECT.
ITO construe the Communication
provisions of the homestead law as
meaning that person hs wing the
proper qualifications may make en-
try with view to the purchase Of
the land after a short period Of oc-
cupancy, but with no intention Of
occupying the land after submission
of final proof or after he shall have
acquired the title as home, would
defeat the very purpose of congress
as expressed in the act Of March 2
1889, withdrawing from private en-
try all public lands except in the
state OF Missouri, and as declared
in the act Of March 8. 1891, that n,
public lands, except abandoned mil
itaty lands and other reservations
isolated and disconnected tracts
and mineral and other lands, tn,
sale of which has been authorized
by law, shall be sold at public sale.
This decision is rendered in {
case appealed from the UniteC
States land Office at Dickinson
North Dakota.

DIAMOND DUST

The opening game between the
Dreadnaughts and the much-touted
team from Moyie, B. c., on the
home grounds last Sunday was ra-
Their dry and uninteresting.
Old Sol beat down with logged
persistency from clear sky and
made things generally uncomfort-
able for players and spectators
alike. With the wind lulled to re-
pose until nary tree top waved ever
so slightly, and with the sky per-
fectly clear of clouds, Sol sure made
things sizzle.
Having heard so much about the
utter unbeatability of the Moyie
-tossers, the Dreadnaughts, who
went to bat first, decided not to
fool away any time, and started in
) to clean up the Canucks in the first
inning.
Somewhere about the sixth in
ming. we think it was, with the
Dreadnaughts toying with Moyie
even as your grandmother's tabby
cat doth toy with the captive mouse,
and the score stood to /, Left
Fielder Jones was benched for some
slight breach Of diamond etiquette.
This brought a howl fIom the
crowd and made an awful hole in
the ranks of the Dreadnaughts,
nearly costing them the game when
Moyie showed in couple scores on
a bad error in left garden, making
the game stand 3 to A. But here
Jacks boys frightened up and put
stop to any further monkey shines
on the part of the Canadians, al
though the fierce heat beating down
upon him caused Pitcher Hart to
perspire so freely that he was soon
wallowing in mud hole where the
slab had ought to be.
On Monday, the Glorious Fifth
of July, the weather conditions
were some different. Moyie batted
first and drew blank. The Dread
naughts came in and started their
half of the first with tally. Cal
lahan got hit, DeWolf and Kelly
fell down and Tim scored when
Jones got against the leather coated
pill for clean two-sacker, but was
nailed at third trying to make il
three. This run, made so early in
the game and so dead easily, caused
Cleary to sit Oh a bat and look over
the visiting crowd with saucy
half-smile on his face, Callahan
grinned, DeWol's tace was as un
readable as ever, and the greai
Hart rolled a pill.
Moyie failed to cross the rubber
in their half Of the second, and tn,
Dreadnaughts once again rompeC
in, from the field. Then the storm
broke The closing feature of tn
game was the wild scramble of ev
erybody to get back to town befor'
being overtaken by the elements
Oh, it was beautiful
When Tuesday morning dawned
cold and gray, the heavens wer
just drying their eyes after an al
night cry, and the diamond-poo
thing-looked like anything else
so the Moyie boys liked back t.
Canada and here we are
Tomorrow, the Plantations, W
think they call themselves, VIII
hail from Spok ahe, will try conclu
sions with the pride of Ferryvill
here. AS the Dreadnaughts hav
promised not to run away with tn
game in the first inning, but wi
try to make it as close as possible
it had ought to be good game.

NTANAGUA. Nicaragua, Dec. 20
h The Nicaragua congress met in
A1- extraordinary session today and
appointed a committee to consider the
message of Minister General Baca,
who has asked the government to
grant him power to exact war contri-
buttons at his own discretion.
President Mddriz appointed an In
vestigating committee of five, which
is charged with the responsibility of
examining accounts OF the Zelaya ad-
ministration.
The finance minister is made chair
man of the committee, whose duties
include working out a new system ol
finance, revision of various concessions
of the government, and determination
of the legality of the recent act of the
president in reyoking grants of alco-
hol, tobacco and other monopolies.
The governments of Honduras and
Costa Rica today made formal ac-
acknowledgement of the presidency of
Madriz, expressing confidence in the
stability of his administration, and
renewed the protestations of friend
ship for the republic of Nicaragua.
ZeIaya Is Correct
Zelaya, who, since his arrival in
Mexico, has announced himself as still
head Of the Nicaraguan government, is
technically correct.
He surrendered his Office for the rest
Of his term, but was permitted to re-
tain the title of president that he
might enjoy the immunity that the
office provides.
When this arrangement was made
Zelaya had in mind rumors that the
United States government would hold
him individually responsible for the
deaths of the two Americans, Groce
and Cannon.
There was lively debate in con-
gress before the committee was ap-
pointed TO consider the message of
Minister General Baca. Deputv Lu-
ciano Gomez, a notorious Zelayist, was
hooted in a speech in which he op-
posed authorization of further war
taxes, Deputy Matus, replying, de-
clared that on occasions of two pre-
vious forced loans certain intimates of
Zelaya had not been assessed, and he
suggested that they should now be
made to pay their proportion of the
expenses of the war.
This covert reference to the earlier
speaker was met with shouts of ap-
plause and encouraged a member to
cry:
Gomez did not pay. We can soak
him now for a Million"
Congress promoted Generals Toledo,
Castrillo and Carlos algeria to the
rank Of generals of the division.
