MUCH MINERAL LAND
OPEN TO SETTLEMENT
NEW LAW IN EFFECT OPENS TO
AGRICULTURE VAST AREAS
OF NEW LAND.

Large areas of public lands hereto
fore withheld from all forms of entry
because Of the possible presence OF
mineral deposits are now open to ag-
ricuitural settlement under law that
went into effect July II, 1914. Entry
under the new act involves the re-
tention by the government of title to
certain specified minerals believed to
underlie the lands. This sort of agri-
cultural entry of coal land has been
allowed since June %, 1910, and of oil
land in Utah since August "a, 1912.
The present law extends this right OF
non mineral entry to all public lands
withdrawn, classified or valuable for
phosphate, nitrate potash, oil, gas or
asphaltic minerals. Any form of nom
mineral filing may be made-home-
stead, desert land, timber and stone,
state selection or any other-the gov
eminent reserving the mineral depos=
it's for which the lands are believed to
be valuable and the right to prospect
for and mine them. If, for example, a
man should make entry in one of the
great phosphate fields of Florida, Ida
no, Utah, wyoming or Montana his
surface and to all minerals which
might thereafter be found except
phosphate. Or if his homestead should
be in one of the oil fields Of California,
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, or Louis
lana, he would receive a patent to
everything but oil and gas. Before the
government or its assignee comes on
his land to prospect for phosphate or
for oil, the entryman is secured
against any damages which he may
sustain in the course of the prospect
ing or mining.
Will Open Up Dry Farming Areas.
Inasmuch as large Withdrawals of
mineral lands have been made in the
arid and semiarid western states
where entries may be made under the
enlarged homestead acts, the recent
law will considerably extend the area
open to dry farming homesteads. Many
applications for the designation of the
lands as subject to enlarged home
stead entry have in the past been re-
fused because the lands were with
drawn, but these applications may
now be granted, and those whose APP
plications have been refused on this
ground should resubmit them to the
director Of the geological survey. In
this connection the director reiterates
a former statesmen to the effect that
no definite form of petition is required,
and that there is no necessity for en-
ploying the services Of an attorney to
draw up petitions. He suggests, how
ever, that the following rules be OBJ
served:

BALL WILL ANSWER
At FORT WORTH
is Deeply Grateful and IL rendered
the Nomination viii Then
Give His Reply.
ON THE CORNER

Colonel Thomas H. Ball stated to
the Post Thursday afternoon, relative
TO the withdrawal of w. P. Lane from
the race for the Governorship of Texas
and regarding his attitude towards his
own proposed candidacy for that Of
fee, as follows:
Until the reception of the letter
from Mr.. Lane which was published
in the morning papers, / was not ad-
vised as to the position he would take
in the Fort Worth conference Satur-
day.
Il knew of his personal friendship
for and confidence in me and felt sure
that he would follow and be guided
alone by his duty as be saw ii. and
that no personal ambition of his
would affect his loyalty to whatever
he deemed best for the principles for
which he stands.
TO me II is of course gratifying
that our warm personal relations have
remained undisturbed. in spite of sug-
gestions that have come from some
quarters not especially interested in
the political welfare of either of us.
Should the Fort Worth conference
tender me its endorsement, l will
make an answer then.
All l can say now Is that would
be less than human not to appreciate
beyond expression the tribute paid me
by so many counties in the State" -

Drama Pleased Large Audience.

The dramatized version Of Harold
Bell Wright's beautiful story, THE
Shepherd of the Hills" was presented
to fair sized audience at the Colonial
Theatre last evening by most capa-
Bile company. The book, OF course, is
familiar to all and an outline of the
plot is unnecessary. The stage story
runs close to the lines of the author.
The scene is laid in the Hill Coun-
try the Ozark Mountains of Missouri.
and their representation in the back
ground Of every scene OF the play add
ed much to its beauty. The story has
to do with the lives of the "hill peo-
ple," plain, rugged dwellers in the
mountains. but honest and absolutely
sincere Each character was grandly
portrayed by finished actors and
actresses, and so true was the delinea-
ton of each character that the comic
situations produced genuine laughter
while the tragedy and pathos was re
sponded to with tears While each
was splendid in his or her part, espe-
cial mention should be made Of Mr..
Montgomery Holland as Grant Mat
thews, Mr.. Van Murrell as Daniel
Howett the Shepherd of the Hills"
Mr.. Harry Schroeder as Grant Mat
thews Jr., Young Matt. Mr.. Lon Sill
vers as Preachin' Bill. Miss Margaret

GOOD ROADS AND THEIR RE-
lATlON TO RURAL SCHOOLS

Washington, Feb. 20.-The rural
population is more willing to support
better schools today than at any pre-
vious time. 1t is being realized that
all educational activities or agencies
must be more or less correlated, and,
more than all else, that they must
be made accessible to the children
In many counties where bad roads
prevail, most of the schools are of the
antiquated one-room variety. They
are usually located along bad roads
which, during the winter, when the
schools are usually in session, become
so nearly impossible as TO make il
difficult for the children to reach
them. This condition causes irregular
attendance and restricts the educa-
tional opportunities of the child Not
only this, but ii often impedes the
economic consolidation OF these small
er schools into larger, stronger graded
schools, with high school courses, d.
rected by competent principal and
corps of teachers, according to the
Office of Public Roads. United States
Department of Agriculture.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads, the
schools are easily reached, the av-
erage attendance greater, the effcien-
cy largely increased and economic con-
solidation made possible. Regular at
tendance at school means consistent
and regular growth of both school and
pupil, and consolidation of schools
means maximum of efficiency at a
minimum of cost. II is also note
worthy that there is a marked ten
dency for the consolidated school to
become the social and intellectual CEN
ter of the community. Most modern
rural school houses are so constructed
as to serve the community. as gather
ing places for various kinds of public
meetings, and where vans are used
to convey the children TO school dur
ing the day they are frequently press
ed into service to haul the farmers
and their wives to institute work, lee
lures on entertainments at the school
house. The consolidated school be-
comes a sort of community center to
which all educational and social ac-
tivities converge, and in order that
it may properly perform that function
all of the highways leading to il
should be so improved as to render
II readily accessible throughout the
year 4

SHAMS.

Simple was the life of Jesus,
Free from all deceptions snares,
More to Him a meek petition
Than were loud, pretentious prayers
Hypocrites to Him were sinners,
Though their prayers were often
heard.
In the streets and public places
Doing forth in ritual word
All our actions should be guarded
From a heart that's pure within,
Lest the fruits of life be blighted
By our own presumptious sin.
More to Christ, heart of kindness,
Than the sacrifice of rams,
Made with ritualistic blindness
On an altar cloaked with shams.
Simple then should be our service,
This well pleasing to our Lord,
He will wisely Judge the purpose,
Openly will He reward.
