minors or guardians, but they will not
| be supplied in large quantities to at
torneys or other persons who desire
to use them for their own personal
gain. Such persons may have forms
printed in strict conformity to the
above directions.
Who May Act 40 Agent for Soldier.
Any person over sixteen years Of
age. whether married or single, regard
less of his or her qualifications to
meke homestead entry, may act as
agent in registering for one soldier or
sailor Tor his widow or minor orphan
children), for Fort Berthold lands, and
one soldier or sailor Tor his widow or
minor orphan children), for Pine Ridge
or Rosebud lands, but no person can
act as agent for more than one per-
son at either opening. Any person
who is qualified to make homestead
entry may register once for himself
or herself and once as agent for an
other at each opening.
Soldiers and other persons entitled
to register by agent must select their
own agent, as l can neither act as
agent nor select agents for them.
Soldiers or Sailors Discharge Papers.
Soldiers or sailors discharge papers
and other evidence of military or naval
service need not be furnished at the
time of registration and should not
be either sent or brought to me.
Evidence that Agents Have Registered
for Soldiers.
In order that soldiers, sailors, wild
ows, orphans or guardians, may have
evidence that their agents have ac-
tually registered for them will fur
nish all designated notaries. before
whom agents must take oath, with
blank certificates of registration which
will be filled out, signed and sealed
by the notaries and delivered by them
to the agents, Each of these certif-
Gates, when properly filled out,will be
evidence that the agent named therein
has sworn to his affidavit before a
designated notary. Each agent should
ask his notary for for certificate OF
this kind and at once mail it to the
person for whom he is acting. The
notaries will not make any charge for
furnishing this certificate.
False Swearing.
Each applicant will be required to
swear that he is qualified to make a
homestead entry and that he honestly
desires to enter public lands for a
home. for settlement and cultivation,
and not for speculation as an invest
ment, and that he presents his appli-
cation for that purpose only. Any
person who swears falsely to his app'i-
cation will have his entry cancelled,
all payments made by him will be
forfeited, and he may be prosecuted
criminally.
Persons Who Have Doubt as to Their
Qualifications.
All persons who have any doubt as
to their qualifications to register and
make homestead entry should satisfy
themselves by advising with some we'll
informed person who has read this
circular before they incur the expense
of a trip to one of the registration
points.
How Applications are to Be Mailed
and Presented.
The notaries before whom applica-
tions are sworn to will furnish each
applicant with a special, colored en-
velope, with my name and postoffice
address printed thereon. After the
applicant has carefully examined his
application and found it correct in
every respect, he must inclose in the
envelope which should then be care
fully sealed and placed in lie mail
with either two cent or two one cent
postage stamps attached thereto. No
applicant should place any other pa
per in the envelope with his APPLICATION
and if he registers both for himself
and a soldier. he should place his own
application in one envelope, and the
application of the person for whom he
registers as agent in another enve-
lope. Citizenship papers and SOL
dier's discharge papers should not be
