HOMESTEAD
RESIDENCE
Settlers May Obtain Leave of
Absence, But Cannot Get Credit
for Time so Granted Nor for
Prior Time on Claim.

A question that is uppermost in the
minds Of thousands of homesteaders in
North Dakota today is: How can l get
q living and hold down my homestead
this winter? The fact of u crop shortage
in nearly all sections outside Of Stark.
Dunn. Billings, Hettinser and Bowman
counties and q complete failure in some
sections. places many newcomers in
straitened circumstances until the next
crop season.
As q matter OF fact. however, the
government does not expect the impos-
sible Of the homeateader and has provided
for such EMERGENCIES. As will be e
by the new law quoted below, nearly if
not quite all the homesteaders of the
state may obtain leave of absence for
the coming winter under that clause of
the law which permits of the granting
of a leave of absence for total or par
tial destruction or failure of crops" etc.
Following are the rules under which
leave of absence may be obtained.
/. Applications for leave of absence
may be sworn to before the register or
receiver or before any officer using a
seal and authorized to administer oathe.
2. The law authorizes registers and
receivers to grant leaves of absence for a
period not exceeding n year at any
one time, subject to the approval of the
commissioners Of the general land Office.
whenever it shall be made to appear
that the settler lis unable. by reason of
q total OF partial destruction or failure
of crops, sickness, or other unavoidable
casualty, to secure 9 support for him
self. herself, or those dependent upon
him or her, upon the lands settled
upcns = ."
3. In each case full particulars should
be given in the application. which
should state The failure or destruction of
crops, if the crops have failed or been
destroyed, to what extent, and cause
thereof. In case Of sickness. what
disease OF injury and to what extent
claimant is prevented thereby from con-
tinuing N the land, and certificate from
the physician in attendance setting
forth the facts should also be furnished.
In the case of ''other unavoidable casu-
atty. the character, cause, and extent
thereof and its effect upon The land or
the claimant should be stated.
A. Residence must be established upon
the land within six months after date
of entry. and additional time can not
be granted within which to establish
such residence. nor will the leave of
absence be granted unless first estab-
lished upon the land.
S. The time of actual residence under
such leave cannot be considered as con-
structive residence or be deducted from
the period of actual residence by law.
Under recent decision of the Secretary
of Interior, a leave of absence breaks
the continuity of claimants residence.
so that credit can not be given for resi-
dence or the land prior to leave and
residence on the land subsequent there
to in a committed proof, IA months,
continuous residence must be shown to
make satisfactory Communication proof.
All absence under leave of absence
must be made up before proof can be
made either s year or communication.

LIVE A LITTLE LONGER

From Which II Seems II Can
Not Be Separated.

The fountain of youth is the dream
OF the young At thirty the springtime
OF life is all but gone. Lines come
upon the face, scored by cares man
has not yet the wisdom to throw on;
the girth becomes matter of consid-
GRAFTON. the feet begin to lag. the
stairs grow long Then comes the re-
greet for the quick years. 1t cannot
have been a mere dream which came
to Ponce de Leon in Porto Rico and
lured him to Florida In search OF the
magical island OF Bimini and the foun-
tain whose waters gave youth forever
to the hardy voyager.
No longer do we. seek immortality
in remote geography. No longer do
we look to the philosopher to give us
length of years. We have had revealed
to us the uselessness and the iniQuity
of the colon. all too late to risk Its
excelsior. We have been Informed
that we do not really grow old: we
yield to arterio-sclerosis. Still we
have the hope that aging humanity
has always had. The years OF man
are the years of his colon and his
aorta.
Now comes from Paris our latest
hope for the years declining. Modest

thinks only that he Is nearer finding

comes to us In the newer 1argOn. un.

to a considerable extent. II Is to dis
solve germs which In their activity
might wreck us; II Is to give new
strength to the phagocytes which are
the devourers OF our inner Ills. In q
barbarous phrase II Is to decuplize. to
multiply by ten. the power OF our re-
sisting agents.
AS we look back we can spare with
out regret the fountain Of youth. Al
ways>to be callow might not be an un-
mixed blessing. Put to keep forever

these adult centuries as II had In the

Belding Team Won

There was fair sized crowd in at
tendance at the football last Saturday
TO witness the defeat of the 'crack"
Grand Rapids boys by the home team
in score of IA to 5.
1t was well fought battle, but our
boys out-played their opponents.
Grand Rapids scored in the second
quarter on a well executed forward
pass. They failed to kick goal. In the
third quarter Malone made ten-yard
run for touch down, but failed to
kick goal. Score TO 5. In the last
quarter with but a few minutes TO
play Capt Price kicked difficult field
goal, putting Bedding in the lead, and
ON the next kickoff Altenburg scored
on tumble by Crawford. Price
kicked goal.
Belding showed great improvement
over their previous games, and in the
last half completely outplayed and
out generated the "Gee Raps,n whose
trick plays and forward passes were
then OF no avail. Malone and Foster
starred for Bedding.

struck with the way he discussed
literature that he asked him if he
ever did any writing himself, and
that if 20 would he allow him to
