FULL SEVEN MONTHS
RESIDENCE REQUIRED
OF HOMESTEADERs

Hereafter all homsteaders or
government land who desire tc
prove up under the three year la "
must MAKE continuous residence up-
on their selection for full seven
months in the year. In recen,
decision by the secretary of the in
terror a ruling is made as follows:
proof submitted under the three
year homestead law must show ac-
tual residence upon the land en-
tered for at least seven months each
year for at least three years, and
the land department is without
power to extend the privilege OF
consecutive residence for absence
during the seven 4Aonths period.
"The requirement that the entry
man shall actually reside upon his
claim for seven months each year
does not, however, preclude short
absences for the purpose of going
to market or other brief absences
such as are ordinarily necessary and
incident to the conduct of farm.
"In the case of unavoidable caus-
alties rendering absence necessary
during the seven month period,
leaves of absence may be applied
for and granted under the general
provisions of the Act of March q,
1899"
Relating to the above ruling, The
Plaindealer is in receipt of the fol-
lowing explanatory letter:
elm this case the record shows
that the en1ryman is a stenogra pher
and during the time covered bv her
proof was employed as such 4,
a town about seven miles distant
from her homestead; that it was i'm
practicable for her to go to and
from her homestead to her work
daily, but that she did return to the
land every saturday and remained
until Monday. This proof was sub
mitted under the Act of June g.,
1912, Commonly known as the
threc-year homestead law Under
the provisions of this act the set
tier is required to show at the time
of final proof that he or she has
actually resided upon and cult
waited the same for the term of
three years." the law providing,
however, that upon filing in the
local land office notice of the begin
ming of such absence the entryman
shall be entitled to continuous
leave of absence from the land for
a period not exceeding five months
in each year after establishing resi-
dence and upon the termination of
such absence the entryman shall
file a notice of such termination in
the local land Office, but in case of
Communication the fourteen months
of actual residence as now required
by law, must be shown"
"The law further requires the
cultivation of a specific area upon
the entry during each year. It will
be noted that in dealing with the
question of residence the statute
permits leave of absence from the
land for not exceeding five months
each year, and that as to the re-
naming portion of the year, or
seven months, the entryman is re-
quired to show that he has actually
resided upon and cultivated the

UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH.

The services of last Sunday were
we'll attended. The Rally Day effort
brought good results. The Sunday
school is planning for larger things
during the fall and winter months.
The Union picnic was a success.
The good women of Malta brought
an abundance of good things to eat
and the children had a jolly time.
The prizes given by the business
men was an appreciated feature and
made the occasion more interesting
for the children.
The pastor arrived in Malta one
year ago this week. The year came
to close with increasing brightness
and We begin the new year with
larger plans and brighter hopes
than We had for the year gone by.
The people of Malta and the country
about have been very kind to us for
which we are deeply grateful.
Our class of boys with Mrs.
Barnes as teacher, is growing nicely
Boys can always make the Sunday
school a success and we are glad
to see them. We never knew a
Sunday school to lack in interest
if it had lots of boys.
Miss Ada Mercer, who has organ
lied and taught one of our classes of
girls during the summer, will soon
return to Minnesota for a few
months. We greatly regret to see
her go and will rejoice when she
returns. The prayers and good
wishes of the church will follow her

requirements Of the homestead law
in the matter of the total amount of
residence required, namely, to re-
duce the period of residence re-
quired from five to three years and
to permit of an absence of not ex-
ceeu.ng five months during any one
year, without loss to the entryman
OF such period of absence in COM
putting the total amount of residence
required; but, on the other hand, to
impose, in view of the more liberal
provisions cited, more stringent re-
quirements as to the matter of cul-
tivatiOn. To this end they required
the entryman to construct habit
able house upon the land and to
actually reside thereupon for seven
months of each year for three years
in the case of ordinary proof, or to
actually reside thereupon for four
teen months in the case of commu-
tation.
"This statuatory requirement of
actual residence upon the land en-
tered for at least seven months a
year for three years, precludes the
land office from extending in such
cases the privilege of constructive
residence during absence in the
seven months periods, when actual
residence is required by the statute.
True, this statute does not prevent
a homestead entryman from leaving
his land for the purpose of going to
market or for such short absences
as would be necessary in the case
of an ordinary farmer residing upon
a tract of land, but it does not per-
NIT of. the maintenance of actual
residence in town for six days of
the week and a visit to the claim on
Saturdays or Sundays, or both. The
department is without discretion in
this matter and must conform with
express requirements of the statute.
AS already pointed out, the law
specifically permits of absence for
five months during the year, and
should unavoidable casualties rem
der the absence necessary, during
the remaining portion of the year
this is met and covered by the pro-
visions of the Act of March 2, 1889.
ut will thus appear that Con-
gress has endeavored to provide for
all such conditions as will permit of
leave of absence under the provis-
ions OF the Act of March 2, 1889,
therefore it is incumbent upon this
department to exact in the case of
entries made or proofs submitted
under the socalled three-year home
steau law, seven months actual
residence per year for three years
or continuous actual residence for
fourteen months in communication, or
final proof, as the case may be-
This decision is one of far reach
ing Importance and of great interest
to all homestead entrymen. Re-
garding the five months leave of
absence this need not be taken at
one time but may be taken in two
different periods, during the same
year; but can not be continued from
one residential year into another.
The residential year in each case
begins with the date of the estab-
fishing Of actual residence upon the
land, and not from the date of entry
