 TAX APPORT|ONED
TOTAL IS NEARLY ,OOO
COUNTY CLERK APPORTIONS FUNDS TO SCHOOL AND
 ROAD DISTRICTS.

County Clerk J. H. Bailey has just completed the apportionment of the school and road district funds just collected in Faulkner county, total of nearly $40,000 being apportioned to the respective districts in the county.
 The district school tax is the larg- est single fund collected in the coun- ty, a total of $23,852.57 being due from the sheriff. After deducting the treasurer's commission of $477.05 and $lIS.S1 placed in the general school fund, $23, ,226.7l was divided among the school districts in accordance with the rate of tax voted and the amount of valuation. From this fund the Conway school district will receive $7,543.77. The next largest district is No. 78, which will receive $67711. School strict No. 79 is the only one in the county which will receive noth- lrg from this source, the school tax having been voted down in that dis trict last year.
 The poll taxes and school fund pen alties for failure to assess personal property also go to the school dis tricts, being apportioned in accord ance With the school population of each district as shown by the last enumeration. The total collected from this source was &4,419.47, and the net amount apportioned is $4,27140, or 45 cents per capita, there being a to- tai of 9,l92 children in the county. The Conway district, with 1,2l9 per sons of school age, will receive from this fund S54S.55.
 The total amount collected from the three-mill county road tax was Sl1.- 286.63, from the treasurer's comm:s- sion of $220.23 and $1S1.57 transfer rcd to the general road fund has been deducted, leaving $l0,609.44 to be ap- portioned to the districts. The Cad ron township district revenue is now divided into two funds, of which $933.27 is to be expended in the city of Conway and $3,893.95 on the roads of the township outside of the city. The district having the smallest reve- nue is No.22 (Mountain township which will receive only $12419.
 The apportionment as made up by the clerk, will be presented to the county court for approval when it convenes the first Monday in July

Piled with the homestead law and

TO cure a default of reclamation

COURAGE

When luck is dead against you
and everything looks black, it does
no good to falter or turn upon
your track; it does no good bewail-
ing the errors you have made, or
counting all the byways in which
your. feet have strayed; it does no
good insisting that others were at
fault, for he who blames his COM
rades is hardly worth his salt; and
weeping never helps you, or makes
the way less rough, for tears are
only water, and waters washy
stuff. Brace up, o weary pilgrim,
brace up aud be a man! Though
fortune sorely swats you, do still
the best you can! Dame Fortune
often tests US, to see how high we
stack, and if she sees us weeping
or turning on the track, she sadly
says:
These pilgrims are bargain
counter goods; it's not worth while
to show them the pathway from
the woods!" But if we meet Attic
ton with courage bold and high,
she guides us to the valleys where
her possessions lie. So do not
weep or languish when life seems
void of hope, for tears are only
water, and waters aimsy dope

Saratoga Brass Band

Responding to the suggestion
made by the Sun a few weeks ago
the men and boys in town who
own horns and musical instru-
ments, have gotten together and
formed a brass band with Mr..
Burnett for leader. There are in
struments enough and talent
enough here to make a band
and we hope the organization just
perfected will stick together and
give US a good band. Mr.. Burnett
is an experienced leader, has a
thorough knowledge of music and
is able to play upon almost any
instrument ever invented. He
will make a most competent in
structor and one that will take
pride in the work of such an Or
ganization. There will be moth
ing lacking on his part if the men
and boys will show commendable
enterprise in trying to become
proficient and in following his
instructions to the letter. A
little adhssiveness and a little
stick-to-it-iveness and we can
have a band that we will all be
proud of.

The Elders of the Presbyterian
Church have issued a call for a
Congregation Meeting of the
church to be held at the church,
Sunday night, at eight O'Clock,
May 18th, for the purpose of con-
sideriag extending a call for q
pastor. All members of the con.
gregation, whether members OF
the church or not, are asked to at
tend.
The call is made for the reason
that Rev. Clair of Colby, Kansas
who was called last October, and
at that time was unable to obtain
a relase from his p~astorate in
Kansas, is now free, and will be
glad to serve the people of the

MOTHERS DAY PROGRAM
A Splendid Program which was Listen
cd to by well-Alled House-whits
Carnations for Each Mother

uo ~
oaye a most excellent program in
the Presbyterian church Sunday
evening, the event being the cele-
bration of "Mother's Day." the
numbers of the entertainment
having been given in last weeks
Sun. The singing by both the
choir and the congregation was
GOOD and we'll worth hearing.
Mrs. Kirlin opened the exercises
with the reading of some scriptur-
. al texts and a prayer. She also
announced the numbers in their
order.
Mrs. Fanny 81. Lee read q
paper on the origin of Mothers
Day" which was inaugurated thru
the devotion of a daughter, a Miss
Jarvis, to the memory of her
mother. To that tender devotion
and daughter love we are indebt-
cd for one of the sweetest and best
Of all our memorial days. Mrs.
Lee is a good writer and every
ONE enjoyed her paper very much.
The recitation of Vada Lyons,
"The lesson of a trgedy," was fol-
lowed by a beautiful solo. "Rock
me to sleep, Mother, by Miss
Martha Burnett, in which the
choir assisted in singing the re-
frsin. Miss Brunett has a sweet
voice and she sang unusually we'll
that evening.
Mrs. Pearson's paper, "Mother
and children" was Listened to
with marked attention. 1t was
full of good thots and showed
that the writer had pondered deep
ly on the close and mysterious
bond which unites the mother
and child. The paper, "Father
and Son." by Mrs. Winsor, was
of equal value and made a deep
on all. She handled
her subject in such a way that
every one felt the force of her ar
guments. The Sun regrets that
it is not able to print all three of
the excellent papers read that
evening.
Bessie WEIGH recited "The Sur
render" after which the choir
sang "Mater az and then all join.
ed in singing "A charge to keep l
have" when Mrs. Kirlin thanked
the people for their attendance
and pronounced a benediction.
A collection had been taken up in
order to raise funds to pay what
expenses had been contracted.
The women had procured a box
of white carnations, the flower de-
dicated to mothers and Mothers
Day." and every mother in the
congregation was presented with
one. They filed the room with
their delicious fragrance and
were indeed an incense Offering
to motherhood and made every
one feel that they were a most
charming emblem of mother love
and tenderness.

MEDICINE bow FOREST
Will Insugurats erasing Reconnaissance
June LIT to Determine Possibilities
Of the Same

ing ready to start it's second sea
son OF "grazing reconnaissance
work on the Medicine Bow Nat.
ional Forest. This work is moth
ing more or less than a systematic
taking stock of the forage resource,
OF the Forest, and is carried on In
much the same manner as timbe,
cruising. Its object is to secure
an accurate map showing the loca.
ton and extent If the areas suit.
able for grazing; the kind of for.
age they support; the condition oil
the forage growth; and natural
features such as water holes
springs, etc, which contribute to.
ward the value of the range. This
map is supplemented by a written
report which describes in detail
the different classes of range; the
carrying capacity of each class
that is, the number of stock it will
run during the season; the condi-
ton of the forage with reference
to too heavy or too light cropping
by stock; the kinds and location
of poisonous plant areas, and what
may be done to eradicate the mon
ious vegetation. The report also
deals fully with the economic
value of the various forage plants
al stock food, and suggests meth
DDS of improving the class of for
age where necessary.
The data to be thus gathered
will serve as the basis for a system
attic plan of handling the Nat
ional Forest range to insure its
permanency, fullest use by the
class of stock to which it is best
suited, and steady improvement
of the forage crop. The carrying
capacity of each type of range
will be determined, not by a the
oretical estimate, but by actually
grazing stock on representative
areas to find out how long a GER
tain number of stock can support
themselves on a given acreage.
1t will thus be possible to say
with considerable accuracy just
how many herds of sheep, cattle
and horses can profitably Craze on
the National Forest each year and
will add to the stability of that
portion of the local stock industry
which is dependent to a greater
or less degree on the National
Forest range for summer feed.
The seasons work will begin
on June l with a party of four
men and a cook and packer with
an outfit of five pack animals.
The party will be in charge of an
expert fitted by education and field
experience to direct such work,
and will include two men from the
University of Wyoming who have
specialized in the economic fora
of the local region. The Service
feels that these local men are bet
ter fitted to carry on the work in
this region where they are familiar
with conditions than men from
localities where different
conditions obtain.
The party will be in the field
from June | to about October ],
and will cover the whole National
Forest area, beginning operations
along the foothills east of Sara
toga, where the ground is usually
bare of snow earlier than else
where on the Forest. 1t will pro-
badly require three months Office
work to compile their notes and
prepare the maps. The Medicine
Bow National Forest will be the
first in the Rocky Mountain re-
gion to complete its inventory o.
grazing resources.

APRIL LAND DIGEST
Tho Following Important Law Points
Fave Recently Been Decided by the
Secretary Of the Interior

the Department to issue patent to
the heirs generally of a deceased
entryman, if there be no widow,
or minor children entitled to claim
under section 1892 r. s. Or if it
be shown in the record prior to
issue of patent that the entryman
has made a will purporting to de-
wise his interest in the entry, then
the patent is issued to the heirs or
devisees of the deceased entryman
when there is no widow, or minor
children to claim under section
1892 R. s. It is left to the local
courts to determine in such cases
who the heirs are and what their
individual interests may be.
Upon the death of an entryman
leaving no widow, his heirs have
the right to make additional home
stead entry under the provisions
of section 3 of the "enlarg ed
homestead act"
The term entry means that act
by which an individual acquires
an inceptire right to a portion of
the unappropriated soil of the
country by filing his claim in the
land Office. 1t is that record in
the land Office which reserves land
from other appropriation.
1t is the land office record which
is in effect an executory contract
between the entryman and the
Government that it will convex
the land to him when he shall
have performed the acts and done
the things that the law requires
in that particular mode of entry.
1t is then at AN end, existing
only until, and no longer than, the
inceptive right becomes consum-
mate and a patent issues or other
evidence of passing title. The
entry merges into a patent or other
evidence of title.
BY final decree of cancella-
tion of patent, land once patented
becomes part of the public domain,
subject to settlement, like unsur.
veyed or surveyed public lands,
if unappropristed, but dose not
become subject to entry until
opened to entry by the General
Land Office.
Desert Lands
The allowance of amendments
rests largely in the discretion of
the land department and may be
allowed for land not originally
applied for where there is mani
fest good faith aud the reasons for
not embracing the land in the ORR
ginal entry was because of ignor-
ance or transformation of existing
conditions that no prudent man
could have foreseen.
This rule is especially applicable
to entries of desert lands where
the purpose is TO increase the
duty of the water in the reclama-
ton of lsnds.
The federal statute does not
provide for the succession to the
rights of a desert land entryman
in the event of his death. Such
succession is, therefore. controll-
ed by the laws of the state in
which the land embraced in the
entry is situated and the land de-
partment will dispose OF the case
accordingly.
The provisions of the act of
February 18th, 1911 (36 stat. 917),
relating to REIMBURSEMENT of en-
tries and subsequent settlement
and entry, has reference solely to
lands withdrawn as lands suscep-
tible of irrigation and subject to
homestead entry at the time of
the application to make entry and
not to lands that have been with
