DESERT LANDS.

The rule for determining the
desert character of lands is sub
stantially as follows: Lands that
one year with another for series
of years will not without irriga'
ton produce reasonably renum-
erative crops are desert within
the meaning of the law.
A showing that crops, even re-
numerative ones have grown on
lands for a few seasons under
unusual conditions as to rainfall,
does not conclusively prove their
non-desert character. Citing
case of Peterson VS.. Parkinson

The sickness of an entryman
may be accepted as sufficient
excuse for occasional absences,
not unduly prolonged.
When leave of absence ID
granted a homesteader, a charge
of abandonment will not lie a
gainst the entry until the expir-
alton of 6 months after the time
for which leave of absence was
granted.

hopes that he would live thru the
night.

WILSON AND
THE TARIFF

President-elect Wilson is retlc-
ent in regard to what action on
the tariff is to be had when he
enters the White House on March
4th.
Those that are close to him
however are pretty we'll convinc-
ed that congress will be called in
extra session soon after inaugu-
ration in March and that the tar
iff will be speedily revised down.
ward. The Democrats have a
majority in the House, and of the
IS members in the Senate, the
Democrats are sure of SO and
possibly 81 which will give them
absolute control in that body thus
enabling them to shape legisla-
ture at their will.
The country seems to have I'M
limited confidence in the states
manship patriotism and ability Of
Woodrow Wilson and the assur-
ance that he has given the coun-
try that no honest and straight
forward business enterprise need
fear anything from him has had
very healthy effect on the busi-
ness activity throughout the coun-
try.
Woodrow Wilson is a native of
Virginia, and he is the eighth son
of old Va, that has occupied the
White House. The seven others
being Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, William Fl.
Harrison, Tyler and Zachry Tay-
lor; this is record that no state
in the union can boast of.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was born
in South Carolina and she will be
the first Southern Lady to occupy
the position of First Lady of the
Land" since Mrs. A. Johnson IN
1866 to 1869. The most famous
Lady who ever presided over the
White House was southerner,
Mrs. Dolly Madison whose tact
and grace has won for her a name
that has secured a permanent
place in history.
The amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for an Income Tax
has been ratified by 81 states,
and two others will ratify it in
the next thirty days which will
make the required 36 ratifcations
out of our 48 states thus congress
will have the right to tax incomes
as it sees fit.

Most men who own a watch
think they know all about it.
They have the number fixed in
their memory in case it is stolen.
They could probably pick it out
from fifty other watches with
their eyes shut. But how many
men know tha their watch is a
compass and will tell north from
south just as accurately as it will
tell the time of day? Stanley,
the explorer, did not know it un-
til he had groped his way through
a dark continent and met a Bel
gian sailor on the coast. Every
watch is a acompass. If you point
the hour hand to the sun the
south is exactly half way between
the hour and the figure XII on
the dial. Suppose, for instance,
it, is 4 o'clock. Point the hand in
dicating 4 to the sun and the *
on the watch is exactly south. If
it is 8so'clock point the hand in
dealings 8 to the sun and the fig
ure X on the dial is due south.
No man need get lost if he car
ries a watch.
