Temporary Absence No Bar

Temporary absence from a homestead
is not abandonment. This is the ruling
laid down by the supreme court in pIac-
ing construction on sections 1852 1855.
The issue came up in the ease of w. r.
and Maude +. Goldensmith versus the
Snowstorm Mining company, on an sp-
peal from the first judicial district for
ShoshOne county. The SnOwstOrm Min
ing company was in possession of GER
tain land the Goldensmiths had Occu-
pied as hOmesteads. They brought suit
to quiet title to them, claiming they had
left the property but temporarily. The
SnowStorm Mining company cOntended
they had abandoned the homestead for
period of five years. 1t seems the
Gol'lensmiths were poor and had to leave
the homesteads for long periods in order
to support themselves. The supreme
court held they had the right to do this
and still retain title to the property.
The opinion was written by Justice Al
fred Bulge and Judgment given in the
'ower court for the plaintiffs is affirmed.

WHAT DO WE GET?

According to press dispatch from
Washington, Congress, the state govern
ments, counties and townships will ex-
five years on the Improvement and
maintenance of the roads of the country.
That statement in itself is of absorb
ing interest to every citizen of these
United States.
But question of still more vital in
terest to us locally and personally is:
How much do we get.'
The people of our community of
course can decide what we ourselves
are to expend on good roads. but when
it comes to the expenditure by the fed
eral and state governments, we are
much of the opinion that the early bird
will get the biggest worm.
In other and palmer words, the fed
eral government allots certain amount
of money to each state for improving
its roads. Then comes the question of
where and how that money is to be
spent.
We do not know just what policy will
be pursued i'll this state. but we do
know that it will be clearly to our in
terest to get out in force and hustle for
a good slice of this amount for road
Improvement in our own territory.
The Lord knows we need road i'm
prOvement, but He will not aid us in
the getting thereof if we are not alive
to our own opportunities.
Every body hereabouts wants good
roads and is quite willing to profit per-

HEADWORK IN THE SHADE

When the scorching sun of summer
days sends us scampering for the shade
we think only of the comfort that is
to greet us when we reach the goal
Our brains relax, our minds become
drowsy, and the hours pass into history
without anything of value being accom-
plished.
And that is where we fail to grasp
one of our golden opportunities-wher
opportunity passes us by without a
reckoning hand from us.
We reach the shade and it feels good,
and our thoughts refuse to wander into
other and more profitable fields. We
are killing time, and time once dead
is never revived.
The relaxation we need and should
have. but the hours spent in the shade
might be turned to good advantage by
devoting at least portion of the time
to the working out of some of the many
complex problems of business that pre-
sent themselves in the journey of life.
When we are at work our minds
should be centered wholly upon that
work if it is to be successfully accom-
plished There is no room for other
thought or action.
But while in the shade in the summer
time there. is abundant opportunity for
devisng ways and means of putting
the coming hours to more profitable use.
He who wastes his time squanders
the greatest substance of life, but the
man who devotes his idle moments ia
planning for the busy ones to come is
like unto the honey bee that boards his
sustenance against the day when there
is none to be found.
