was all that was allowed him. He was entitled to 160 acres, but if he filed on a lesser acreage his rights were ex- hausted just as completely as if he had taken the full amount of 16O acres to which he was entitled to under the law.
 Such a condition was manifestly un- fair to large number of entrymen and the law was accordingly modified to permit the filing of additional home stead entires to the limit allowed by law.
 In recent years the policy of the gov ernment has been to encourage the settling of the public lands and the building of homes upon them, and in accordance with this policy congress has enacted many laws gradually ex- tending the acreage and the scope of the entries for the public lands and making the requirements easier for homesteaderS.
 1 The additional Homestead law was : one of the first then a number of laws permitting second entries, leaves of absences. and later the enlarged home stead and the stock grazing homestead laws We have already discussed the Enlarged Homestead laws in these columns.
 The Stock Grazing Homestead Law l is in one respect similar to the En- | larged Homestead Law, i. e., that the land enterable hereunder must be de- signated under that law by the secre- | tary of the interior
 Lands subject to entry are those designated by the secretary of the in terior as chiefly valuable for grazing and raising forage crops which do not contain merchantable timber, are not susceptible of irrigation from any known source of water supply, and are of such character that GAO acres are reasonably necessary to support 1 family.
 l The next article will treat further on the Stock Grazing Homestead law.

By A. Mandl

The Stock Grazing Homestead Law enacted by congress on December 70 1916. is the most radical change Tn the homestead law made for many years While the feature common to all home stead entries, to-wit, residence, is re- tained in the Stock Grazing Homestead Law. in no wise else are it's provisions similar to the laws permitting other kinds of homesteads.
 In the early stages of our pubic land laws they, especially the home stead laws, were simple and inflexibla A man could enter under the homestead laws not exceeding 160 acres and one entry, regardless of the acreage taken

A PhiIoIoqicaI Inquiry

We are about to receive aa official definition of the word "Boche" applied by the soldiers to the German soldiers. When the definition has been given it will only be phloogically authorita- tive but official in Germany. The fate of a young German girl depends upon the decision of a German university regarding it's meaning.
 Not long ago she file of Russian prisoners being taken along the street, and approaching them she dropped note alongside the marching prisoners on which she had written "The Boches have been defeated" in a certain engagement The note was detected and the young girl arrested and con- demned to prison. In appeal it urged that the word "Boche' used by her had only descrip- tive and not derisve meaning. sThat appeal led to an inquiry to what the word really means and tho matter was submitted to university It appears not to be German word, rather to be provincialism with different meanings in different localities The
