found that there were yet three thous-
and seven hundred and fifty six
entries in the book and twenty-five
thousand acres yet unified on which
means about twenty-five hundred
quarters yet to be settled. This is
the direct result of the wires and let
ters of Congressman Hanna direct
to congress in an effort to have the
Homesteaders Three Year Bill be-
come law this session of congress-
It is expected that congress will ad-
journ about June Is and nothing will
be left undone by the friends of the
bill to have it become law this
summer.
If the bill becomes law homestead
ers will have five months in each year
of the three away from the homestead
and will lift heavy burden from the
shoulders of many in this section of
the state who have suffered from crop
failure the past two wears.

That is what you will see one

the ring for the pulpit.
Mccoy, the trickiest of all
boxers of all time, declares that
his 80 years of life have been
misspent and that the rest of his
days will be spent in ministering
to mankind, to helping others. In
short, Kid Mccoy proposes to be-
come an evangelist, a rival of
Billy Sunday, If you please.
In his new work Mccoy will
have an enthusiastic second In
his wife, the sixth woman, by the
way, to be known as Mrs. Kid

McCoy's ring battles have been
surpassed in interest only by his
matrimonial ventures. Eight
times he has gone to- the altar
and seven times he has appeared
In the divorce court. One of his
wives, Mrs. Julia Crosselman, he
wed and divorced three times.
From the others he likewise OBJ
