DHOMESTEADPROOF

The following letter from the
General Land Office in Washing
ton will be found of much value.
1t was received by Mr.. j. E.
Dibble of Obar, and is published
by his permission.
Mr.. Dibble filed in 1906 and
later took an additional quarter.
He intends to prove up this fall,
and desiring to know just where
he stood, he wrote a letter to Del
egate Andrews stating his exact
situation and asking him to as
certain the rulings of the land
office in such cases
The letter received III reply is
given below:
MIR. Dibble may make proof
on his original entry when he can
show compliance with the general
homestead law, but proof can not
be made on the additional entry
until the requirement of the en-
larged homestead act as to cult
vation have been fully met, but
this cultivation may be on the
original entry or on the addi-
tional entry, or partly on both
entries.
Proof may be made on the adj
ditional entry by showing that
one-eighth of the area of such adj
ditional entry has been continu-
ously cultivated for four years,
and one-fourth of the area for
three years, but in such case the
cultivation must be of land EN-
braced in the original entry.
IF, in making proof on the
additional entry, the party relies

Notice to the Ladies

President r. w. Boulware of
the Roy District Fair Association,
requests us to announce a call for
a meeting of the ladies of Roy
and vicinity at the /. O. 0. F.
Hall in Roy next Saturday after
noon at two o'clock for the pur-
pose of organizing for the work
of aiding the association and Sc
lecting and classifying the ex-
hibits they wish to enter for
prizes. All the ladies of the town
and vicinity are cordially invited
to be present and take an active
part in this meeting. Remember
the date, Saturday, August 18th,
and plan to come.

area of the two entries has been
continuously cultivated for four
years, and one-fourth of such
area for three years.
Should he make proof on his
original entry at the expiration
of five years, and not be able to
show the cultivation necessary to
meet the requirements of the law
as to both entries, it would be
necessary for him to maze new
proof on the additional entry at
the proper time.
Very respectfully,
S. V. Proud6t,
Assistant Commissioner. y
The last paragraph tells what
the 'five-year people who have
made second filings want to know.
That is, can they prove up on the
old claim now and on the new
claim later on? 1t is clear that
they can.
By the second paragraph it is
also clear that when proof is sep
arately, the law is satisfied with
the cultivation of 90 and 40 acres
(if on the new iling), instead of
40 and so when both claims are
proved up together as stated in
the third paragraph.
We may add here that the old
makes residence the prime re-
quirement, while the prime re
quirement of the new law is cul-
tivation.
The five year loan" who has
complied with the old law by res
idence, can comply with the new
law by cultivation regardless Of
residence. The law nowhere re
quires residence on the seconC
filing. -Obar Progress.

He Was Cured.

A chap once consulted famous physician about his dyspepsia. The patient was very deaf The dialogue between the physician and he ran like this:
 "What do you usually breakfast on?'
 "Oh. no! At least two miles in the morning and a motor ride after lunch" !"
 "How many hours do you sleep?"
 "Well. doctor, I was fifty-nine my last birthday"
 "Are you married?"
 "Thirst" M
 With a gesture of inlpatience, the physician turned and wrote out sim pie remedy for dyspepsia. The pa- ient as he departed. shouted in the loud, harsh tones of the very deaf.
 Doctor. can you cure deafness"
 The other shook his head in the neg ative.
 "Well," said the patient, you've been very kind, and therefore Pm going to make you a present of this prescrip- tion." He took a folded paper. from his pocket. Tt cured me."-New York Tribune.

seilino Papers on the Roof.

SSiiin9 FaperS on the hoof.
 Not all enterprising newsboys are in the United States The small street merchants of Paris. when forbidden to enter tramcars and omnibuses, got over the difficulty in real Yankee fash ion. It was easy. of course, to sell papers through the windows to passen- gers seated in the vehicles, but how was it possible to reach would-be GUS toners perched on the seats provided on the roof? A youth promptly solved the problem. He procured a. stick sev- en or eight feet long, with wire clamps fastened to the sides. Papers were put in the clamps. On top of the stick there was a small cup with hole in the bottom. The hole was an inn portant part of the apparatus, for it reached all the way down. and through 1t came the copper coins of one or two sous, according to the price of the paper. the patron selected when the bay held up the stick.-Chicago Rec rd-Herald.

Louis Compliment to Condo.

Louis Compliment to Condo.
 One need not overlook the enormous shortcomings of Louis XIV as man and as a king to admit that in some important respects he tried to do his duty" He was hardworking sover- eign both in the sphere of administra- ton and in that social sphere which was. to his mind. no less important. So courteous that he never passed the poorest woman about the palace with out lifting his hat. he carried polite consideration to the level of fine art. In the way of courteous speech there are few things nobler than his remark to the great Condo as the old hero was slowly ascending the great marble staircase at Versailles. Condo apolo- gized for being so long in mounting the steps, at the top of which the king stood waiting :.Ah. cousin" Louis re- piled. lone moves slowly when one is laden with laurels.'

Special to The Farmer)
 Stratford, Oct. 27-The work of mov- ing the machinery of the Baird Ma chine Company from Oakville to the new factory buildings in Stratford avenue will begin next week. The new buildings have been arranged to accommodate the special machines which are used in the manufacture of the wire working inventions which have made the reputation of the com pany. The question of sewage dis posal is one that will immediately be called to the attention of the town. A survey made by the Fletcher Engin- eering Company shows a fall of 20 feet from the factory on Stratford avenue to the Housatonic river, No body in the town believed that any such opportunities existed for drain age in Stratford. It is the first time that accurate figures have been ob- tained on the situation. With T fail of. these dimensions there is no reason why the town cannot adopt a perfect system of sewers without the aid of any of the so-called experts. With the data already obtained the work can go on at any time.
 ONLY FOUR DAYS z-
 Taxpayers have been tardy this year in filing their lists with the assessors of the town, There are only four days left for the filing of tax lists. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week the assessors will hold evening sessions to accommodate tax payers. After Wednesday night the assessors will fill up the assessment. There is a prospect Of large increase in the grand list this year., It is of course well known that the small homes which are rapidly going up in the town will not make as large a showing in the grand list as factories and enterprises where a large amount of money is invested, but the real gain to the town from the large amount of number of homes which have been built here. It is incum- bent on the taxpayers to submit their lists. Those who fail to take this precaution will have no reasonable ex- cuse if their assessment is unSatfSfac- forx9
