Notice to HOmeStedderS

Little Rock, June %, 1912.
To the Editor:
By act of Congress, on june 9th,
1912, the Homestead laws of the
United States we're changed in two
very important particulars. The
time of residence required has been
changed to three years, instead of
five years, and during each year
entrymen will be permitted five
months continuous leave of absence
by making formal request. How
ever, the law now requires that the
entrymen shall cultivate not less
than one sixteenth of the area of
his entry beginning with the Sec
ond year of his entry and not less
than one eighth, beginning with
the third year of the entry, and un-
til final proof. 1t Is also provided
that an entryman having failed to
establish residence within six months
after date of entry or having aban-
doned the land Tor more than six
months at any time the Register of
the Land Office may order same to
revert to the government. The
three years period of residence shall
date from the time of establishing
actual residence upon the land.
The above information, it is pre-
sumed, will be of the greatest inter-
est to the readers of your paper,
and we respectfully request you to
give this the widest publicity pos,
slble to you as a news item.
Very Respectfully,

WASHINGTON, July ls.-The calling of

Of Roosevelt electors and pro- Roosevelt
candidates to remain on State Republican
tickets is the solution OF the political
mixup suggested by Representative Nor

1T is claimed that because I have re-
fused to admit and denounced the alleged
denomination OF President Taft I should
withdraw from the ticket as one Of the
Republican candidates.. said MIR. Norris
in letter to John l.. Kennedy Of Omaha,
chairman OF the Nebraska Republican
State committee
He says he refuses to acceds to demands
for his withdrawal IA the Republican SEN
atorial nominee at the behest OF "few
self constituted and self-appointed leaders
when most OF these censors Of Republican,
ism are Federal officeholders.
He then declares he holds his nomina
ton from the rank and file Of Republicans
and suggests holding a new statewide
primary for all Republican nominees Of
Nebraska to ascertain IL the voters wish
to recall those nominated for refusing
to support Taft
