NEW RULING AFFECTS
 $40 ACRE HOMESTEADS

That additional entries under the 640-acre stock raising homestead laws cannot be made to land entered under the non-contiguous provision of the 320-acre homestead act is a recent decision handed down by the assistant commissioner of the general land of flee at Washington, D. C., to the local United States commissioner.
 After the 640-acre homestead law went into effect number of appli- cants who held additional entries more than twenty miles distant from their original tracts made applica- tions for a second additional under the stock-raising law. The commits sioner at Washington advises that a "person who has made and perfected homestead entry of 160 acres and thereafter makes an addional entry under Section 2 of the enlarged home. stead act for the same area of land more than twenty miles from that embraced in the original would not be qualified to make another addition al entry under the act of December 20, 1916, providing for an additional entry after proof upon an existing en- try"
 In making additional entry within 20 miles of the original it is inmate rial whether person applying for additional entries under the provision made, resides upon or owns the land first entered.

TRANSFERS IN THE
 NATIONAL FOREST

Albuquerque, N. M., May 9.-For- est Supervisor Don P. Johnston who has been in charge of the Chiricahua- Coronado National Forest for more than a year past with headquarters at Tucson, Arizona, is to be trans ferred about June 15 to the District Forester's office at Albuquerque, where he will be Assistant District Forester in charge of operation. Be- fore going to Tucson MT, Johnston had been Supervisor of the Santa Fe and Gila National Forests of New Mexico. He succeeds Assistant Dis trict Forester A. O. Waha, who after an experience of many years in the National Forests of the Southwest, has been transferred to the Forester's office in Washington, D. c.
 MT. Johnston will be succeeded at Tucson by Forest Supervisor Paul P. Pitchlynn of the Sitgreaves National Forest with headquarters at Snow flake, Arizona. Mir. Pitchlynn before being appointed Supervisor of the Sit greaves Forest had a wide experience in various branches of technical work throughout the National Forests of the Southwest. His successor on the Sitgreaves has not yet been chosen.

CLIPPED WESTERN LAMBS sl4.lo

A new record was made upon the Chicago market Wednesday for clip ped western lambs. The consignment in question, 123 head, averaging S6 lbs, sold at $14.40 per cwt, without any being thrown out, no other con- signment realizing this sensational price. They were bought by Swift X Co. The consignment was marketed by Charles Householder, one of the foremost sheep feeders of Audrian county, Mo. To MT. Householder can a great deal of credit be given for ac- companying this record basis of val ues, and the consignment plainly indi- cated his usual good conservative and substantial live stock for the market. This sale surpassed any previous rec ord by 15c per cwt.

TO THE CREDIT OF ARIZONA

Recruiting for the Arizona regi- ment is going on very satisfactorily and especially good progress is being made in the northern part of the state where it is said there is rather clearer realization that we are at war, than in other parts of Arizona. It is either that or else a clearer under standing that if Arizona's sons want to reflect credit upon the state they can do it better, in the First Arizona regiment than in any other organiza- tion. One thing is certain, that many hundred Arizonians are going to par ticipate in the war which is not going to be short one. Unless they go into it as members of an Arizona regi- ment, they will go into it either as volunteers or conscripts in an organ ization in which their membership will not be counted to the credit of Arizona.
 The First Arizona regiment is one to which any young man may be proud to belong. It was more highly complimented than any other for its work along the border. It is the only unit of the National guard that has now not been mustered out of the federal service, though it will be mustered out unless its numbers are quickly filled.
 The new recruits who have joined are of an extraordinarily high class of young men so that the already ex- cellent personel of the guard has been raised to still higher level. AS the recruiting goes on and the call upon the patriotism of the youth of the state grows louder the level will be further and further raised.

The Worst Is Over

Cattlemen in some sections say the worst part of the drouth is now over, even if it doesn't rain again soon, as the mesquite trees are putting out and this will furnish sufficient nour- ishment for the cattle, it is believed. That's one advantage this particular part of the southwest has over other cattle growing districts. The mes quite tree is not much for looks, and to a stranger in the community it seems hardly believable that enough nourishment could be obtained from them to keep cattle alive when late spring like the one this year, keeps back the native grasses, but such is the case. The value of the scrubby and ugly looking mesquite is thor oughly appreciated by cattlemen.-- Patagonian.

Pasture and Meadow Grasses

The carrying capacity, commercial value and duration of profitable use fitness of pastures could be material ly increased on most western farms at moderate expense. Whatever the cost, it would be trifle with the re- turns, for grass, cared for and used according to the best methods, is pre- eminently money crop.
 Pastures are the foundation of an- imal husbandry. The best systems of farming here and abroad include stockraising, which in turn requires the growing of hay and the mainten- ance of pastures. Grass has multiple virtues. Grass pays as a nutritious succulent for grazing stock, as con- server of fertility, as a protection from soil erosion and as an earth-de- eoration that is restful to the> eye, sweet to the nostrils and life-like un- der the foot of man.
 It is from this broad point of view that pastures should be considered. Numbering dozens of varieties, grass is adapted to every unshaded spot where soil and moisture abound. And there are dry-land as we'll as wet-land grasses. There are numerous species of immense practical value which have not even been heard of in dozens of regions and should be carefully considered by stock men as tss scar city of feed becomes more apparent.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

William J. Bryan comes to Chau- tauqua with patriotic message, sup porting the President and the Govern ment in every detail. He is distinctly and absolutely behind President Will son in the plans for war. He brings a message from the Government as to what each individual can best do in the present war; his subject being, "Funda mentals."
 The New York Sun prints the fol- lowing editorial relative to Mir. Bryan's patriotism.
 "Mr. Bryan, who is more than 57 years of age and looks it, has asked the President in a telegram from Tallahassee to enroll him" as a priv ate" whenever he may be needed. Mir. Bryan adds: Assign me to any work that l can do until called to the col ors." Far be it from The Sun to make light of any offer of service in the war now upon us, whether it come from ardent youth or a veteran paci- fist. Mir. Bryan is welcome.
 "When such volunteer hits the trail it is legimate, in fact duty, to capitalize his influence for the ad- vancement of the worldwide cause to which the United States is now de- voting its resources. MT. Bryan is now, as he has been for more than twenty years, the most eloquent man in the country. He has a very large personal following. The number of his friends is legion.
 "We say it with the utmost serious ness that Mir. Bryan would make the most successful recruiting officer in the country. The people would flock to his meetings. When we speak of MT. Bryan as recruiting officer our meaning is not limited to the organ ization of men to be soldiers. What Mir. Bryan can do perhaps better than any other public man, is to mobilize his fellow citizens in the West for service in the war, each according to his capacity and possessions. He breaches the gospel of unselfish pa. triotism.
 There is work to be done at the rear sa well as at the front, in the factory, in the mine and on the farm, as we'll as in the trenches. What theme MT. Bryan has. He is more eloquent than ever and worth a divi- sion in the field.
 Obviously MT. Bryan could not be private with the colors. That lis only figure of speech. Besides, he is far above the age limit. He held the rank of Colonel of Volunteers at Camp Cuba Libre, Florida, in 1898, and the government could now accept him for war only as an officer. But, like the enlisted men, he would have to submit himself to intensive train ing for six months of year. War is scientific today. It would be the worst possible use to make of Mir. Bryan. In the Spanish war he chafed at his inactivity. He can hardly went an- other experience of that sort. Col onel Bryan would be serving with the colors just as much on the platform. To rally his countrymen for war should be his contribution as a patriot"
 MT. Bryan comes here, under the auspices of the Redpath- Homer Chau- tauqua, the morning of May 16th.

Care of Young Goslings

There is very little that the owner
can do to hurry the Matching of goose
eggs, while under the mother, except
to see that she is properly supplied
with water and food in easily accessi-
bic channels, says the American Agri-
culturist. The period of incubation is
from twenty-eight to thirty-three days,
but averages thirty days Do not feed
the goslings until two days old, but
give them tender, finely cut grass and
water. They should not be allowed to
swim, however. until they grow older.
The first feed may be rolled oats or
stale bread slightly moistened with
water. Some poultrymen recommend
bran, cornbread or chick food. In any
event, the feeding should be light and
two-thirds or three-quarters should be
made up of tender green food. There
should be protected houses or coops
where the goslings may have adequate
shelter from the rain. After a week
or ten days they may be safely turned
out on good pasture. Fresh drinking
water is supplied at all times.

SERVICES ABSOLUTELY FREE
(The MAnufacturer.)

Many lines of business have been
eomplimented for the loyal work they
have done in aiding the government
in it's great plan of preparedness
Behind this all stands one indus
try, without which, little could have
been accomplished.
The newspapers have made it pos
sibie to spread broadcast over our
land in single day the appeals of
the government to it's citizens in all
walks of life.
The newspapers alone make it pos
sible to explain to the nation the
plans which permitted the registra-
ton of 100000 names in single
day.
On the newspapers fell the burden
of advising the public of the details
of the Liberty Bonds and educating
the citizens to purchase these securi-
ties.
On the newspapers falls the work
Of informing the people of the Red
Cross plans to raise 100000, 900 in
the U. s.
All of this work is done freely,
cheerfully and without pay
Publishers are probably the only
class of men who as whole are fur
nishing their services free to the gov
eminent.
Is there any other services free TO
the government?
Is there any other line of business
exhibiting the same class of patriot
ism? Now is the time to give the
publisher credit and not after he is
dead.
