Professor E. L. Potter, of the
animal husbandry department of

ers may choose. The service to
both buyer and seller is entirely
without fee.

IMPORTANT TO
H0MESTEADERS

A question Of particular impor-
tance to homesteaders has Just been
decided hy the secretary Of the inter-
Tor in the case of Neil w. Myers
against Richard Sherwood. both of
i Billings, and the point determined is
that for the purpose Of complying
with the regulations with reference
to residence. the abode Of the entry
man's family is not necessarily his
own, and that ii he sleeps OH the
i homestead, having complied with
/ other rules with reference to cultiva-
tion and improvement, his right to
1 ~ contest.
Sherwood entered u quarter section
Of land about four miles from this
city about three years ago and pro-
ceeded to cultivate it and made some
improvements. lie worked 1T the
plumbers trade in Billings and his
family resided here. He, however,
slept virtually every night in a cabin
on his claim. Myers instituted II
contest OH the ground that as Sher-
woods wife and children resided in
the city, his home WAS with them and
that for this reason he had failed to
fulfill the requirements Of the gov
ernment. The general land Office
held that SherwOOd's title to the land
was good and the decision was affirm
ed by the secretary Of the interior.

PRAY AT WORK
ON DESERT ACT

Representative Pray has taken up
with the interior department the
question Of rights of entrymen who
initiated entries under the desert
land act three and four years ago and
are now planning to make final proof
and whose rights are thought to be
jeopardized by reason Of the fact
that highlands adjoining those they
entered have been taken up subse.
quently under the homestead act and
are being cultivated. There are
many such entries now pending in
Montana, and fear prevails among
the desert land entrymen that the de-
partment intends to hold their entries
for cancellation OH the ground that
their lands are not of desert char;,ct-
er, since the joining lands are being
cultivated and produce crops, Mr..
Pray contends that inasmuch us the
lands were believed to be desert, FL
ings were made and, inasmuch as the
department accepted payments and
filings under the desert law, it cam
not cancel entries where entrymen
have shown full compliance with the
desert land act. The secretary Of the
interior has not yet rendered de-
cision on this question, but Mr.. Pray
is anxious to present the side of the
desert entrymen before a precedent
is established.

WISE IN. Her
OWN CONCEIT

Wise in her own conceit, Boston is
not so wise otherwise. The Boston
Traveller says that at 4 theater in
that city the other night between the
first and second acts the orchestra
began to play my Country 'Tis of
Thee" About half of the audience
Immediately rose. some hesitatingly,
and remained stending until the or
chestra had ceased. The other half
Of the audience looked Il little uncom-
Portable. but kept their seats. some
time later, during another intermis-
sion, the strains of "The Star Span
gled Banner" filled theair Without
moments hesitation, the part Of
the audience that had re mained seat
ed during the playing of my Coun-
try 'Tis of Thee" stood as one man
while the other half seemed glued to
their chairs.
And the result was that probably
the greater part of the audience went
home wondering which anthem was
the national air. and in doubt as to
which they should have paid their
respects TO by rising. Such ignor-
ance is deplorable. but what can you
expect in Il town that knows it all?
Out here in Montana people don't
know everything, but they do know
enough to rise as one man when 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" is played.
