STRANGE FEELINGS.

(A poem which appeared in The
 Farmer of Nov. Is, 1815.) Near wonder cot upon the Moor whose gray smoke winds in many Knitting beside the cottage door, I met this morn a lovely girl. With many a modish damsel oft I've squandered foolishly my tln1e' Play'd with their hands and cheeks so Or hitch them up in many rhyme. But when I turn'd to go away, My bosom felt no ticking pall' And scarcely did I hear them say ! I'd thank you. sir, to call agaln. But whenSI saw this lass so fair, Her floating eyes so blue and round, It's lustre I could no more bear But bashful look'd upon the ground: NV jealous pride then took alarm Face her, it whisper,d o'er and Q err Look up.e she cannot do thee harm Didn'st thou ne'er see girl oefore! Rous,d from. the dream. rais'd d my
 hat,
 And thought some civil thing to say z I look, d-rnSy heart went pit-a-pat, And glad was I to get away yet, tho I hurried from her sight, Foam whereso,e CT my footsteps will, That full blue eye. that face so wins haunt haunt my walking visions still,

The presentation of the opera Pin afore'' by the Bridgeport Opera Co.,. at the Park City was warmly received last evening and on the whole was a creditable production.

Automobile Accident.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. o. Baker,
Miss Olive Baker, and Miss Dolly
Hopka, all of Eneampment, ar
rived here Monday morning from
that city in the Baker car, and
left here a little after 10 o'clock
bound for Rawlins to take in the
circus. Just past the old light
plant and across the ditch a little
ways, Mr.. Baker undertook to
raise the windshield, and running
at an ordinary rate of speed the
car took the wheel away from him
and turned over the grade upside
down, where, fortunately, ID. E
Winsor, proprietor of the light
company, found them a few min
utes later, both Mr.. and Mrs. Bak-
er pinned under the Ear. Before
Mr., Winsor could get the car over,
several others arrived on the scene
and helped turn the car up right.
Mrs. Baker escaped with a
bruised shoulder and a severe
shaking up and Mr.. Baker being
caught by the steering-wheel
across the stomach, was severely
bruised in several places, but
both are not serious and FORUM
ately neither of the young ladies
with them were hardly scratched.
They came back to town and DR..
Price made an examination of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Baker and
found no bones broken. The car
was hauled in and is undergoing
repairs in the Carey shop.

The Rattle Of the Ford.

Some time ago two prominent
ranchman of this vicinity went to
Rawlins together for the purpose
of each purchasing an automobile.
One was under the impression
that a car costing between $500
and $1,000 was about his class,
and consequently bought a fine
car at $500 and was very proud
of it. The other had decided that
a Ford was exactly what he want
ed, 80 bought one.
The man with the Ford had oc-
casion to stay in Rawlins a few
minutes after the man with the
big a had left, but when he did
get started he tested it's speed a
little and passed the other man on
the way back. The Ford man, in
the lobby of the hottl that even
ing, enlightened the other fellow
ON the fact that he had overtaken
him 80 easily, to which the other
man retorted: Eyes, you passed
me all right, but 1 heard a rattle

Additional
H~OlmesteadS

The' act of congress of March 3,
1915, amended the enlarged or 800
acre homestead act, may be used
by the settlers of this county and
the entire state to great advantage.
1t permits all of those who have
made proof on their original home
steads and who still own and &C.
eupy their Original claims to make
an additional entry of 160 acres
of contiguous land.
The act confers the right of en-
try only upon one who "still owns
and occupies the land" first en-
tered; it is not required that the
claimant be residing on said tract,
and the occupancy thereof may be
by agent or through a tenant. "A
statement showing continued own
ership and occupancy must be
made in case of applications under
this act. 1t should be observed
that no change has been made in
the requirement of law that the
tracts be contiguous; and that this
would not be fulfilled by the fact
that they corner on each other
The claimant is allowed credit
for residence on the original tract
and cannot, in any event, be re-
quired to show residence continued
for a greater period than is pre-
scribed by section 1921 of the Re-
vised Statutes. In other words, il

three years.
The law regarding cultivation,
with reference to additional entries
made before submission of proofs
on the originals, has no applica-
ton to the entries allowed under
this act. The claimant is required
to show cultivation of the addition
al tract itself, to the extent and
for the period required by the act
of June 6, 1919, that is only six
teenth of its area during the sec
ond year of the entry, and one
eigth during the third and until
submission of proof, which must
occur within five years after the
date of the additional entry.
In most of Albany county and
in a very large proportion of the
state it will be necessary for ap.
plicants under this act to petition
the department to designate the
land under the 320-acre act. In
doing this care must be taken to
embrace the original entry as we'll
as the additional, as the law pro-
vides that both entries must be of
the character contemplated by the
32O-acre act. Unless this is done,
the additional application will be
rejected and additional trouble and
expense entalled.
Those who desire to take advan-
tage of this act must also pay par
ticular attention to the provision
making it necessary to have the
lands designated. Application for
resignation must be filed in dupli-
cate at the time the homestead ap-
plicstion is made, and this appli-
cation gives to the homestead ap-
plicant a preference right of entry.
Action on the homestead applica-
ton is suspended in the land Office
till the department takes action on
the character of the land, and if it
is found to be of the character
contemplated by the 32O-acre
act, then the land is 80 designated
by the department and the addi-
tional homestead application is al
lowed.

Bic Meeting.

Saturday hitei uooH suOIbiy III
,ef | o'clock, the Platte Valley
Stock Association meeting was
called to order in the city hall
with about rs of the members
present. The first thing consid.
cred was the forming Of an organ
nation that would include all OF
the stock men of the entire terri.
tory over which the stock inter.
ests of this valley cover and to
that end the Saratoga Valley
Stock Association was formed,
with Winthrop Condict president,
W. d Sowder vice-president. w.
E. Tilton, secretary, and Fred
Healy treasurer. A committee on
bylaws and constitution was ap.
pointed, Ira B. Casteel, M. Nj
Cushing and W. e. Tilton.
A resolution was passed to offer
a reward of $500 for the appre-
tension and conviction of any
person or persons illegally killing
or handling, using, stealing any
stock of any Of the members of
the association. General provis-
ions we're made to make it attrac-
tive to the members of the old as
ISOLATION, as we'll as the upper
Cow and Spring creek cattle as
ISOLATION to join the new organi-
cation and make it cover the
whole stock territory, as we'll as
transact all of the business. This
is an excellent idea, as one large
organization a do many things
that a half-dozen smaller ones
can't, and this would bring all
under one roof where all difficult
ties could be arranged and adjust
ed.
On June 5th the new organiza-
ton will give a big banquet in
Saratoga to all the stock men and
their wives of the valley, and at
which time also the next meeting
will be held. 1t is the intention
Of the new organization to extend
it's work to cover all conditions
pertaining to the stock business,
and invites membership to any
and all from surrounding territory
and to cooperate with other asso-
Citations for the aid of the stock
business.
At the meeting the larger part
Of the stock interests of the valley
were represented and looks like a
bright future for the organization.
We are very much in hopes that
all the stockmen in this section
will become members, as much
can be accomplished that will be
of deep interest to growers of live
stock.
