DESERT ENTRY ACT
 MOST BENEFICIAL

Longer extensions of time may be granted holders of desert claim en- tries under the recent act Of con gress. according to the interpreta- ton which is placed upon the pro vision by United States Commission eI iiihson Thomas. These regu- iations are ones that are Of vital i'm portanoc to the holders of such tracts. and are of interest to those contemplating such applications. IL IS confidently predicted that the new law will bring about the reclamation of much land that is now lying idle.
 The secretary of the interior. may. in his discretion extend he time within which final proof Is required 10 be submitted upon any lawful. pending desert land entry made prior 10 July 1. 1914. such extensions ire not to exceed three years from the date of allowance.
 The entryman or his assignee must have complied in good faith with the requirements as to yearly expendi- lures and proof. and must show un- der rules which will be described by he secretary, that there is a reason able prospect that if the extension
 granted he will be able to make tinal proof of reclamation, irrigation and cultivation. This ruling applies only to those cases where a further extension of time may not be grant ed under the existing statutes.
 Where it shall be made to appear 70 the satisfaction of the secretary, that an entryman has expended the sum of 8 per acre in an attempt to effect the reclamation of tract of land and that there is no reasonable prospect that if the extension Is sranted. he would be able to secure water sufficient to effect the reclama-
 ion of the irrigable land. an ex- tension of five years may be allowed
 rhin which to perfeect the entry.
 Any entryman entitled to benefit under these provisions may, if be shall elect within 60 days from the date of notice 10 do so. pay 70 the re ceiver of the local land office, the sum of 30 cents per acre for each acre embraced. in the entry. after which he may perfect such entry and upon proof tha, he has upon the tract permanent improvements con ducive to agricultural development of the value of not less than sl 25 per acre, and that he has used the land for agricultural purposes for three years. At the time Of the submission of final proof he shall pay 10 the land receiver the sum of 75 cents per acre. providing the proof | is made within five years. In the event of failure to comply with the law. all moneys previously paid shall be forfeited and the entry cancelled

JACK PORCUPINE AND
JIMMY SKUNK
(By Thornton Burgess of the
Vigilantes).

(By Thornton Burgess of the
Vigilantes).
The first law of Old Mother Ma
ture ever has been, is, and ever will
be, self-preservation. To this end she
has devised countless expedents for
protection and defense. She is the
original exponent of preparedness.
In every phase of life you will find
it. 1t is one of the most impressive
manifestations Of life in what we
are pleased to term the lower orders.
Last summer l encountered por-
cupine in the depths of the woods
blocked his path. Did he meekly turn
aside? Not a bit of it. He was in
his own domain wherein he had de-
finite rights. There was no manifes-
tation of anger. merely a slight lift
ing and rustling Of me barbed quilts
with which he was armed 1t wasn't
a threat; it was warning. He was
prepared. not for offence, but for
Gefeas. I decided not to ,eed1:n
with his affairs and stepped aside.
He went his way calmly and UNI
afraid.
On several occasions l have met
Jimmy Skunk. We always parted
friends. trust we always shall. /
cannot recall single occasion on
which he manifested the least fear
He was peacefully inclined, with no
desire to interfere with me and SUI
preme confidence that l would not
interfere with him. At suggestion
of an overt act on my part which
might be constructed as unfriendly
there was polite lifting of his ban
ner. Nor was this a threat. 1t was a
courteous hint that he was prepared.
He is the most perfect example of
the efficiency of preparedness OF
which l know. He is powerfully
armed, but the sole use he makes of
his armament is in defense of his
rights.
We as a nation may learn much
from Mother Nature and her provi-
sions for the safeguarding Of the in
iividual and the race. The only
of peace is the absolute
conviction that we are fully prepar-
