Wilson Tariff would justify itself. He
touched upon the Primary as being
one of the worst laws of the State
and mentioned the fact that all can
didates should openly state their prin-
ciples. AS to President Wilson's at

Pattangall said he was willing to leave

teners to get together and work.
Chairman {. T Reed of the state
Democratic Committee did not make
a speech but expressed his gratitude
at seeing such a large attendance at
the gathering and urged the gentlemen
to clean up in Maine.

! That those in Idaho who have made
/ homestead or desert land entries and,
through no fault of their own, lost,
] forfeited or abandoned them, or who
may hereafter lose, forfeit or aba L
don them, are still entitled to the
benefits of the homestead or desert
land laws as though their former en-
try or entries had never been made,
here through an act granting the
right passed by congress, but which
comparatively few people seem to
know exists. 1t will therefore be of
a great deal of interest to e1trymen
who are under the impression that
through no fault of their own they.
lost homesteads or desert entries,
having made filings on hands, 10 know
their rights are still intact and they
can make their entries.
The act giving this right was ap-
proved by the president September o
of this year. In full the act is as fol-
lows:
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States assembled, That any per-
son otherwise duly qualified to make
entries of public lands under the
homestead or desert land laws, who
has heretofore made or may hereafter
make entry under said laws, and who
through no fault of his own, may
have lost, forfeited, or abandoned the
same or who may hereafter lose, for
felt or abandon same, shall be entitl-
ed to the benefits of the homestead
or desert land laws as though such
former entry or entries have never
been made; Provided, that such APP
plicant shall show to the satisfaction
of the secretary of the interior that
the prior entry or entries were made
in good faith. were lost, forfeited, or
abandoned because of matters be-
yond his control, and that he has no
speculated on his right nor commit
ed fraud or attempted fraud in con-
nection with such prior entry or en-
tries"

Maybe the reason why q woman is
never contented is because content.
ment makes people fat.
Lots Of married couples imagine
they are living together when thay
are merely putting up with ca b
other.
The female whose family ccnSs.s
'of a poodle and fern never fcrgets
the date of Mothers Day. But about
the only date the mother Of five or
six children can remember is Wash
Day.
After man takes a day off and
tries to follow his own advice he
isn't surprised that other people new

The sort of woman who has to
carry revolver to protect her Per-

protect.
