that those who had already made
homestead entry would not be affect
ed by the new law provided that they
do within one hundred twenty days

land office that they desire to prove
up under the old law. This Office has
sent notices and blank forms to all
entrymen, and great many of the
letters containing such notices have
been returned unclaimed. This is no

ing filed the homestead application,

subsequent changes of address.
Homestead entrymen are therefore
advised that if they have not received
these notices and blank forms of
election under said, that unless they
secure and execute the necessary

June 9th, 1912, they will after that
date be subject to the requirements
of the new three year homestead law.

Let People Know About 1t.

A merchant may lave an ideal
s.o'k Of goods, selected with good
! Idgment, offered at low profits, but
ii he dies not take pains to tell the
D ,ople about it, few will remember
that he is doing business when they
have anything to buy.
On the other hand, a merchant
may select his stock with poor judy
ment and he may ask for an nordi-
nate profit for himself. But ii he
talks about his goods persistently he
will interest people in them, and his
store will be thronged with buye's.
This is no day for hiding your light
under the bushel of business retic-
ence. People don't seek out things
that hide away out OF sight. They
have to be sought out. The initl-
alive must always be taken by the
man who has goods to sell.
An advertisement giving your name
p'are of business and a few general
facts about your line will be useful.
1t will remind people OF your exist
ence, and the impression will turn
the footsteps of a good mary TO your
store.
The advertisement can be made
infinitely more effective, however, by
taking a few definite leaders and con-
centrating attention on them.
Describe them Just as you would to a
buyer in your store, and name the
price, You can't fail to interest the
people. Exchange.
