OPPORTUNITIES LOST.

But thy lost opportunity That cometh back no more to
 thee
 So mourns the poet. There are hundreds of opportunities that many miss until they watch the daily classified want ads. Each days issue brings into every home. business. profes- sional, industrial and domestic circle many opportunities various needs of life are catered to in the classified want col umns.
 He is the loser who has some thing to sell and fails to adver- tise it-and the householder who needs something and fails to look in the want columns to find it is likewise the loser.
 Opportunities for you may appear under one of the score or more of headings in the Wants-make it a point to keep n close touch with the Repub- lican Wants and see if they enumerate something that is of interest to you.
 Each day brings added oppor- tunities that are we'll worth the necessary time for their con sideration.

AspEsoN And HALE
WIN CONTEST CASES

Decisions were rendered recently by
the Secretary of Interior in two contest
cases of interest to New England people.
One case that has caused considerable
speculation as to who was entitled to
homestead the land, upon which three
parties have either established homes
or improved the land during the past
three years. concerns quarter section
of land a few miles east of town.
Carl N. Gartner was first ON the land
but gave up the fight some time ago.
The contesting has been carried ON
by John Polchow and John B. Ander-
son. Both parties claimed to have es-
tablished residence before the land was
open for filing. 1t is fact that both
Mr.. Polchow and Mr.. Anderson did i'm
prove the land and both put up houses.
Mr.. Polchow did some breaking and
hauled rock for house before Mr.. An
derson established his residence. Mr..
Anderson had his house built first and
was first to really reside on the land.
The Secretary of the Interior decided
that Mr.. Anderson was entitled to the
filing.
Most Herald readers are acquainted
with the other case in which Ole Brat
ten was contestant and John Hale con-
testee. II seems that A. S. Norman
filed OH quarter section of land west
of New England and later sold his i'm
..nvements and relinQuished the land
back to the government. Ole Bratten
filed on the land and as security for the
payment on Improvements signed re-
linquishment and gave it to Mr.. Nor
man. Bratten failed to pay Mr.. Nor
man as agreed and the latter sold the
relinquishment to John Hale. Mr.. Hale
filed Mr.. Bratten's REIMBURSEMENT at
the u. S. land Office in Dickinson and
on the same day filed on the land.
Later Mr.. Bratten instituted contest
AGAINST Mr.. Hale. claiming that he did
not know he was signing away his right
to the land when ne signed his relin-
| quishment. However. it was decided
| last week that Mr.. Hale was rightfully
entitled to homestead the land. H. A.
Bureeson of Dickinson was attorney for
Mr.. Anderson in the first case and for
Mr.. Hale in the second case.-Herald.
