rated affidavit of the applicant In
duplicate, showing that the land APP
piled for is of the character contem-
plated by the enlarged homestead act.
The application will be received by
the register and receiver of the land
district in which the land is located
and action thereon suspended until
1t shall have been determined by the
secretary of the interior whether the
land, entry of which Is applied for,
is of the character contemplated by
the act. During such suspension the
land described In said application
will be segregated and not subject to
entry until the case Is disposed of.
If 1t is found that the land Is of the
character contemplated by the act,
then the application shall be allowed;
otherwise IL shall be rejected, SUBJ
ject to appeal.
The original homestead act and
acts amendatory thereof permitted
an additional entry only in cases
where final proof had not been made
upon the original entry, but Public
No. 279 changes the law In this re-
spect and permits any person who
has submitted proof and who still
owns and occupies the land entered
to make an additional entry of land
contiguous to his first enry, which,
with his first entry, shall not exceed
800 acres. 1t will therefore be pos
sible for a number of homesteaders
within the state on lands of the char
acter described in the enlarged home
stead act and who have already
proved up. but are still living on
their original entry, to make entry
of contiguous land to the extent of
an additional 160 acres.
Regulations under these acts have
not yet been issued by the interior
department, but it may be advisable
for anyone who contemplates making
either an original entry OF 800 acres
or an additional entry to make the
necessary application to the register
and receiver In the district in which
the land is located at the earliest OPP
%portunity.
These acts do not apply to Indian
reservation lands, which, under ex-
listing law relating TO the disposal OF
such lands, have been or are disposed
of at appraised prices. but only to
lands subject TO entry under the
general homestead law.

BUILT UP BUSINESS
REMARKABLE GENIUS FOR BUSI-
NESS SHOWN BY INNATE OF
STATE INSANE ASYLUM.

Yankton, March 24.-A SIS bill was
the nucleus of a comfortable fortune
for Bodine, the merchant at the state
insane asylum. With that money,
sent him a few years ago, this pa
tient of the state hospital built up a
business that was recently valued In
stock alone at nearly $4,000.
Now discharged and permitted to
join his wife In North Dakota, Bodine
has sold his stock at the invoice fig
ures and O cooperative store here
after will be managed in behalf of
the institution and for the pleasure
and comfort of the inmates among
whom Bodine spent twelve years of
his life.
That little store which has pros
pered under the magic touch of an
insane man will long testify to b.
dimes genius. The first SIS, sent him
from an unknown source, he invest
ed In cigars and chewing gum. There
was a demand for such commodities.
He added a stock of candy.
The business grew. Its profits
o o enabled him to buy cases for
the cigars, the gum and the candy,
and from that time on Bodine felt as
If he were a merchant with many re-
sponsibilities. He took great pride in
the little place that was set aside for
him in the basement Of the admins
tration building. Every day he was
on the job, courteous to his custom
ers and prompt in waiting on them.
Pretty 500 he installed a phono-
graph, and then came decorations of
ornaments and signs to hide the bare
ness of the walls. Bodine's store was
voted a palace by the inmates and all
visitors to Yankton included IL in
their itineraries.
The institution has 1000 inmates
and $50 employees. There are hun
dreds of visitors in the summer time
and Bodine added soft drinks to his
stock. No wonder he prospered. He
knew what the people wanted. His
mind might not have been normal,
but he certainly understood the law
of supply and demand.
Not long ago his wife and adult
son moved to North Dakota. They
wanted Bodine TO come to them. DR.
