One of the objects of the home
stead laws is to grant home to cv-
cry head OF family from public
lands. In determining this question,
ihe iald department is not exp. essly
cnarged with duty to make Judicial in
inquiry into facts antecedent to breach
of family bond whether one party or
the other was at fault. That jurisdic-
ton properly belongs to the courts
having authority to regulate family
relations. Thus, if an entryman die
and two claim succession as widow,
the land department will not try the
facts going to fix the right but will
recognize her who had the status OF
wife during the entry and helped the
entryman to earn the land.
TIE right to file declaratory
statement is a privilege only in the
matter of giving the applicant power
to hold his claim for six months az
ter selc ton. Upon making entry OF
the lari. the law as to residence must
be complied with the same as if no
dcclaratory statement had been filed.
While the department does not re-
quire any specific amount OF cultiva-
ton when the entry is made under
the general homestead laws, thcra
must be disclosed in all cases such
aciual cultivation of tie entry as will
show the good faith of the entryma...

cannot be transferred to another.
Sec. of the act of May 18th, 1880
contemplates that the notice of pref

land is subject to entry, since the time
begins to run against the contestant
from date of such notice. Preference
right notice cannot be given bv pub
lication, nor will the giving of notice
that the land will become subject to
entry at some future day be regarded
by the Department as the proper per-

in the premises. especially where the
contestant has made payment OF a
fee OF one dollar for special notice.

BASKET BALL
Exciting Class DANES Open Season
for Local ,fiIgh School


After much delay. for want of an ade-
quate hall in which to play. the basket
ball season for 1923 opened with
double header on Monday evening. Dec.
27.
The contestants were Sophomore VS.
Freshman Qirls-which was won by the
latter-and Junior VS.. Senior boys-in
which the former carried off the honors.
Both games were slow but exceedingly
good, considering the time put in practice.
In quick succession came the game on
Monday afternoon. when the High School
attacked the Colorado College stars. The
game was won by the college stars. but
not until after fighting every minute OF
play. The victory was due to the bril-
liant individual work of the college men.
Although the high school boys lost they
exhibited a speed that was wonderful,
considering that they have practiced but
one week. The difficulty in throwing
baskets, which lost the game for the high
school. was mainly due to this lack OF
practice. The game was intensely ex-
citing and greatly enjoyed by the support
ers of both teams.
The High School team was again de-
feated. by score Of 4 to 10. Wednes-
day evening when they ran up against
the Alumni. The game. which was a
good mixture Of foot ball and basket bali
on basket ball floor. nevertheless was
well played End full Of interest.
The object of the games thus far played
was principally to get the local team in
oordition for the first league game of the
season, which will take place tonight
friday with Wiley. This is tine first
year Wiley has been in the league and re-
ports from down the valley say they have
an exceptionally good team, SO a good
game is expected. and all supporters Of
the local athletics and those interested in
good clean basket bail should not fail to
come out to the game tonight at 1880

Some Big Sugar Bects.

Points For the Thinking Farmer.

Now is an excellent time to lay that
concrete walk that you promised your
wife to make last winter, when the
mud was ankle deep. These are ex-
cellent months for odd jobs on the
farm.
No kind of manure, either animal ex-
crement or fertilizers, will take the
place Of good. thorough tillage. Plow
the land at the right time and to the
right depth. then work 1t down to
mellow seed bed with disk and roller,
and harrow.
A brick wall or foundation. while
substantial enough, looks rather old
fashioned now. The concrete or ce-
ment block foundation is the modern
type and. like most modern things. is
an improvement over that which pre-
ceded It, A great thing about concrete
!s Its permanence and cheapnesk.

Ex-MAYoR DEAD.
Or. II. VanBusklrk Passed Away
nondaY Night.

Though not unexpected. news of the
demise of DR.. H. VanBuskirk. which oc-
Cured at 9 o'clock on Monday night, was
received with deep sorrow by the entire
community where he is so well known.
About a month ago DR.. VanBuskirk
was taken down with what appeared to
his physicians to be incipient Brght's
disease. but the trouble rapidly became
acute and developed into brain oonges-
ton that specialists as well as local prac-
titioners were unable to counteract. and
for over two weeks but slight hope was
entertained of his recovery.
Hibsrnia VanBuskirk was a native of
1853. In early manhood he left his
native state and settled in eastern South
Dakota. where he practiced medicine un-
til 1898. in which year he came to Rocky
Ford and established the Farmers and
Merchants Bank. which institution he
successfully conducted until his death,
In addition to his banking business, DR..
VanBuskirk had IN recent years built up
large and fiourishing seed business and
he was also one of the members of the
Fair Mercantile Co.. as well as being the
owner Of many business blocks in this city
and considerable real estate in THE vieini-
ty. which is evidence Of his industry and
business ability.
Amongst his fellowmen he occupied
position of confidence and esteem. as is
attested BY the fact that he had most
acceptably filled the office Of mayor Of
this city. and was member Of the Elks
and Masonic orders.
To mourn his demise he leaves widow
and a sister, Miss Flossie VanBuskirk Of
Shelburne, Ind. and three brothers. to
whom the sympathy Of the community is
extended in their bereavement.
Funeral services were held from the
residence at 2oz South Eighth street. at
Q o'clock yesterday afternoon by DR.. J.L.
Weaver. and large concourse of friends
were present to pay the last mark Of
respee. for our esteemed fellow citizen.

The County Sunday School board met
in this city on Sunday afternoon, there
being present with the local members Mr..
and Mrs. Wesley Vandiver of La Junta
and Messrs Maxey and Neal Of Fowler.
1t was decided to hold series ofral lies
throughout the county. beginning at Rocky
Ford on the afternoon and evening of Jan.

TWAS also voted that this city should
have the next County Sunday School con-
yention. which will be held on Feb. 81
and 26. and arrangements were made to
have Rev. John Alexander, the interna-
tional secondary division superintendent
and one of the foremos. Sunday School

happy homes. but this caused no ap-
prehcnsion or worry because the next
day the wind would change and blow
them back. The settlers provided
themselves with large nets attached
to poles. When flock of women and
children were blowing over the set
tier would deftly catch the members
of his own family in his net and let
the others blow on. Many men be-
came expert netters. 1t was that year
the expression 4 don't know where
m going, but I'm on my way orig
mated. Persons who were blown
across the country would thus pleas
antly salute their neighbors as they
passed"
Another Kansan also got in few
good words for his native state, as
follows:
THE stories about the pumpkins
are chestnuts. They did not origin
ate in Kansas and we repudiate them.
To begin with no vine is strong
enough to drag Kansas pumpkin.
The great difficulty in raising pump
kins in Kansas is to keep the pump
kins from pulling the vines out of
the ground. 1t is true that Kansas
alfalfa probably beats any in the
world. both tor yield and sweetness.
A Kansas bee keeper says that one
trouble about raising bees near an al
falfa field is that they gather too
much honey. He had large swarm
OF bees located mile from an alfal-
ia field. One day he watched the
workers go out to gather honey, but
didn't see any coming back. He
didn't understand it and went over
toward the alfalfa field to see what
was the trouble. About half way over
he met the bees walking back to the
hive. They had loaded up with hon
ey till they could not fly and had to
walk and carry the load. He said
that he had to use over two quarts of
glycerine on the blistered feet OF
those bees. The intelligent insects
soon became accustomed to the treat
ment and would lie on. their backs
while he rubbed glycerine on their
sore feet. This took So much time
that it ruined the business"

friends and neighbors were invited in to
givs the happy couples fitting sendoff.
