HONEST FADING
Made EASIER
Change in the Homestead Law
Is a Great Help to
Montana.

The department Of the interior
has just modified the new home
stead law in a most important par
ticular. By order just issued by
the general land office and signed
by s. Y. Proudfit, assistant com.
missioner, the matter Of time OF
cultivation of homesJeads is modi.
fed so that it is practically ruled
that instead of homesteader
having to cultivate so much each
year, his final proof will be allowed
on his showing that his total culti-
walton shows the required average.
The circular. which is addressed to
the land offices, read as follows:
Your attention is directed to
the following provisions in the act
approved August "a, 1912, making
appropriation for sundry civil ex-
penses Of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1913.
That the failure of the home
stead entryman to give notice Of
intention of making final proof as
required by the act Of June 6, 1912,
being sections 1921 and o.007 Of
the revised statues of the United
States relating to homesteaders.
shall not in any wise prejudice his
rights to proceed in accordance
with the law under which entry
was made.
In view Of the foregoing para
graph 80, circular IN D. 10, soff - ully'
Is, 1912, is no longer in force.
In this connection you will OBJ
serve the following provisions of
paragraphs 18 and 10 of said cir
cular.
BY this section am authorized
under rules and regulations to be
prescribed by me, to reduce the
required area Of cultivation. Act
ing Hereunder, / have prescribed
the following rule to govern action
on where the homestead entry was
made prior to June 6, 1912, but
through failure Of election must be
adjudicated under the new law.
Respecting cultivation neces-
sary to be shown upon such entry,
in all cases where, the good faith
Of the entryman appears. the proof
will be acceptable if it shows culti-
vation Of at least one-sixteenth for
one year and at least one-eight for
the next year until final proof,
without regard to the particular
year of the homestead period in
which the cultivation of one-six-
teenth was performed.
The new law also requires that
the proof shall be made within five
years from the date of entry, and
if the entry is to be administered
under that law the department is
not authorized to extend the
period within which proof may be
made, but when submitted after
that time, in the absence Of ad-
verse claims, The entry may be
submitted to the board of equita-
BILE adjudication for confirmation.

tival is peculiarly an American
custom Of New England origin.
This is true in part only. The
general observance through many
years OF q set day on which to
give thanks to Almighty God for
his blessings has made the Gus
tom distinctively American; but
It's origin long antedates the set.

stock.
The larger private holdings contain
about seventeen hundred billion feet.
these holdings generally include the
best timber in the regions in which
they occur. since private capital al.
ways seeks the best possible invest
ment. They are the principal sources
of the lumber which is used today,
and upon the manner in which they
are managed depends In large degree

So far. true forestry has been prac.

methods will eventually be used In
handling them. The map given here

England Edward Winslow has given a brief
account OF the festivities. This letter bears the
date of Dec. II, 1921 and in it Winslow wrote:
Our harvest beinge gotten in our governor sent
four men on fowling that might after spe-
cial manner rejoice together after we had gath
cred the fruits Of labors. They four killed
as much fowl with little help beside served
the company about week. At which times.

among the rest their greatest king. Massasoyt,
with some ninety men. whom for three days we
entertained and feasted and they went out and
killed five deer, which they brought and be-
slowed governor and upon the captains
and others"
From other sources know that there were
athletic contests besides the exercises OF arms
which Winslow mentioned. No doubt they play
ed at "stoolball,' old form OF croquet, and
pitch we bar" which Bradford mentions In his
journal. There were no special religious services
at least there is evidence Of any. The pill
grlms had their daily prayers before breakfast.
In this service, and in the joyous spirit that
seems to have dominated the occasion well.
there was, doubt devout thanksgiving to
God for all the blessings he had vouchsafed them.
II has been repeatedly asserted that this
Thanksgiving festival was suggested to the pill
grms by the Jewish feast of ingathering." This
Is not probable. the differences between them
are more striking than the lkenesses They were
of the same duration, each lasting week; and
in common with all other harvest festivals they
had the same intent But in the Jewish festival
sacrifice and worship were the prevailing char
acteristics. while in that of the pilgrims they
were entirely wanting

with similar events in the past, IL has analogies
with the harvest home Of England which may
relate them. The pilgrims were familiar with the
English celebration and many of them, doubt.

rangement to accomplish the same
ends as the moth pots and the accom-
panying drawing shows the type of
globe which was finally adopted after
considerable experimenting. 1t Is
used on ~ volts, 71a ampere, series
alternating arc lamps, fitted with clear
glass inner globes. From the draw
ing the glass workers manufactured a
mold and from this Cos of the special
globes were cast. BY the terms of
the contract, the electric light COM
pany was to cart these globes to the
lamps, put them on, take away and
store the regular globes, empty the
globes daily, keep track of the quaint
ty caught and, at the end of the
moths fight, replace the old globes
and store the special globes until the
next year.
The globes were put on with the
cut away part up, so that the moths
fluttering around the light would fall
into the bowl. The first gathering
was made July s. The fight, which
usually continues about eight days,
this year lasted Is days. Between
July 8 and July %, there were collect
ed from the globes 107 5-16 bushels
within the city and IL ZIG bushels
from the globes placed at two of the
summer resorts.
