A soldier, sailor, or his widow OF
minor orphan children, to whom a

claratory statement, either in person
or by agent, on the day assigned for
that purpose, or make entry at that
time if he prefers. If declaratory
statement is filed fee of 50 must be
paid at that time; but the first pay
ment Of the purchase price will not be
required then. Within six months
from that day he must begin his actu-
al residence on the land and make en-
try. At the time soldiers entry is
made the payments required of other
entrymen must be made.
After soldiers, sailors, their widows
or minor children have actually re-
sided on the land for twelve months

such service amounted to four years,
only one years residence will be re-
quired; if it amounted to three years,
two years residence will be required
and SO on; but there must be one
years actual residence, regardless of
the length of the military service.

time of peace and did not serve dur
ing any of the wars mentioned above
can not register by agents or claim
the rights given by the law to soldiers
