HOMESTEADERS CAN
LEAVE HOMESTEADS
For the Sake of Working on Farms
and Have Time Credited.

Register Skinner of the Montrose
land office has received a letter from
Senator Shafroth calling his attention
to the provisions of the law passed
the goth of December last which pro-
vides that homesteaders can leave
their homesteads in the mountains to
work OH the farms in the valley and
have the time thus spent credited on
their homestead requirements. The
law applies only on condition that the
homesteadsr put in his time at ac-
tual- farming some place. The net
reads as follows:
"An act to authorize absence by
homestead settlers and entrymen, and
for other purposes.
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the Unit
ed States Of America in Congress- as
sembled, That during the pendency Of
the existing war any homestead set
tier or entryman shall be entitled to a
leave Of absence from his land for the
purpose Of performing farm labor, and
such absence, while actually engaged
In farm labor, shall, upon compliance
with the terms Of this act, be counted
as constructive residence: Provided,
That each settler or entryman within
fifteen days after leaving his claim for
the purpose herein provided shall file
notice thereof in the United States
Land Office, and at the expiration Of
the calendar year file in said land Of
fice Of the district wherein his claim is
situated written statement, under
oath and corroborated by two Witness
e.. giving the date or dates when he
left his claim, date or dates Of return
thereto, and where and for whom he
was engaged in farm labor during
such period or periods Of absence: Pro-
vided further, That nothing herein
shall excuse any Homestead settler or
entryman from making improvements
Of performing the cultivation required
by applicable law upon his claim or en-
try: Provided further, That the pro-
visions Of this Act shall apply only to
settlers and entrymen who
may. have Aled their application prior
to the passage ef this Act The Sec
retary Of the Interior il authorized to
provide rules and regulations for car
rying this Act into effect I'd ii.t 6.

The poor rich are having an awful
time Of it here in Denver since SO much
Of their splurging has been cut of at
the pockets. First, prohibition cut off
their hootch which has everything to
do with dampening the ardor Of their
spirits. Then came the war, don't you
know, to whittle down their extrava-
gances until now life is one long spasm
of inane nothingness which is such a
duced bore, don't you know, with all
kinds Of dough to spend and nowhere
to spend it. The little brothers of the

Take Advantage of the Best Growing
Season for Young Chickens-Get
Larger Returns from Poultry.

In its campaign to increase poultry
production, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture puts special en-
phasis upon the Importance of early
Matching, because that is the key to
the whole situation. While chickens
can be hatched at any time of the year
it is the chickens Matched early in the
spring that give best results. Unless
a special effort is made to hatch early
on the. farms throughout the country
the Matching season comedies too close
ly with the planting season, and hatch
ing operations are reduced on that ,ac-
count.
Early Hatching Gives Best Results
Early Matched chickens give the best
results, because they are, rs q rule, the
strongest and most vigorous. They
are produced from eggs laid while the
hens were in their best breeding con-
dition. After Q long period Of laying,
hens loose something Of their vitality
and their capacity 10 transmit vigor To
their offspring, and SO late-hatched
chickens are, on the whole, decidedly
inferior to the early-hatched in inheir-
tied vigor and constitution.
Because they are more thrifty and
eafly-hatehed chickens make
quicker, better, and cheaper growth
than late chickens. Thrifty chickens
getmore from given quantity Of feed
than do others. Weak and undersixed
chickens often eonsunbe - much feed
as DO much larger and better develop
ed fowls, and still make no pfeceptible
growth fs zattta is1eJfrIa 1901 q
Early Chicks Withstand Summer Heat
Early chickens develop before sum
mer to the stage. WHARF thay. can with
stand the heat and attacks Of parasites
which .are % numerous and tru0ble-
some In hot weather. Late chickens
are likely to be caught by severe heat
right 1t the stage of their growth,
when the heat Is more debilitating TO
them. In their weakened condition
they then easily become prey 70 lice
and mites, their growth il interrupted
and when the cold fall weather comes
in they are particularly susceptible to
it. Vigorous early chicks find the cool
ness stimulating and are not injured
by the dampness.
Reduce Hatching Risks.
Early Matching reduces the risks due
to the vicissitudes Of Matching. When
eggs do not hatch well early in the
season there is time to find the reason
for poor Matching and correct It be-
fore the season is too far advanced to
get reasonably early chicks in the
number desired. In that ease poultry
production may not be reduced ct al,
and egg production is retarded only .
few weeks. When late Matching Is not
the crop of poultry is
cut short and egg production fails.
Early-hatched cockrels are ready for
the market when prices are highest.
Early-hatched pullets lay when the
egg market is highest.

INTERESTING ITEMS FROM
THE OIL SHALE DISTRICT

MOntrOSe treSS:-
/ Many prominent men in close touch
with the industrial development Of
Colorado are Of the opinion that West
ern Colorado is destined to become q
great industrial center by means of the
development of its oil shale. Many
are heard to express the opinion that
the oil shale industry will soon rank
with the leading industrial enterprises
of the country.
James Doyle. Colorado's famous
mine operator and prospector, who is
associated with Werner 2. Reed, Col
orado capitalist, in the erection of q
large shale reduction plant near Drag
on, Utah, announces that the coming
TO spring will bring vast influx of
people into the oil shale districts, and
that hotels, boarding houses and room
ing houses should prepare to take
care of the rush.
Operations are suspended on most
of the valuable oil shale holdings at
present on account Of the snow. Large
numbers are waiting for the snow to
melt SO that they can begin operations.
Shale tests yielding more than 100
gallons to the ton are not by any
means uncommon. Scotland is max
ing satisfactory profit on a shale
averaging q yield Of 26 gallons to
ton.
The interest awakened in the oil
shale is causing numerous oil seeps
and springs in different sections of the
country. One company, with head
quarters st Grand Junction, has de-
veloped an oil shale seep until now it
is producing more than thirty barrels
q day. q very high-grade lubricating
oil. f
The American Shale Refining COM
pany at DeBeque will install its new
retort as soon - the weather moder-
ates sufficiently to premit it to do its
concrete work. The Richards and
Flynn interests are ready to erect their
big Henderson retort as soon as the
weather will permit. 49
The Mt. Logan people Of DeBeque
have about completed the assembling
of9their equipment for the installation
Of the new Galloupe fetort which they
are installing on their property. They
also have Ill the equipment on the
grounds for the big tram which will

erecting gigantic manufacturing en-
terprises. No money has to be spent
in the oil shale region IN trying to
locate the pay streak. That work has
all been done beforehand.

The season Of Investigations has

the light was turned upon the burear-
Gratis in Washington.
There may have been shortcomings
in the navy-the secretary himself
admits his department has not achiev-
ed perfection-but no fair-minded in
vestigator can deny that Mr.. Daniels
has made a record which at its very
worst Is so much better than Secre-
tary Bakers achievements that 1t is
unjust longer to bracket these two
cabinet officials when criticism is
voiced.
Mr. Daniels, rs far as the investiga-
ton has revealed. delayed preparation
for the war only so long as politics.
policy and other influences greater
than himself made delay Imperative.
His error, IL he can be charged with
one, seems to have been on the side Of
oyer-exertion rather than over-caution.
His orders for equipment were placed
in such abundance that when the
more deliberate officials undertook to
make war preparations they found a
shortage OF facilities. This condition
embarrassed the shipping board, Mr..
Hurley has testified. 1t did not en-
barrass the complacent staff in the
war department, although 1t contribut-
ed to the delay in eQuipping the army.

Deputy Cawley says: "The error
made in the past four years by per-
sons liable for income tax was largely
due to the fact that they acquainted
themselves with only a smattering Of
the law and drew their own concur
sions as to liability, many Of whom
thus assumed that no income tax or
report were required but later were
found to be delinquent for income tax
and suffered the penalties.

tervene before Ottumwa shall have an
other municipal campaign there is
ample time, but not too much. for the
organization by majority of the vot.
ers of a movement for good govern
ment and the election of candidates
for the mayoralty and commissioner
ships who will give the community
just that-good government.
The task of administering municipal
affairs properly Is not difficult one
If the right men are chosen. 1t is not
at all impossible to find the proper
men between campaigns. The off year
is the time to start the process, when
the air is free of campaign thunder.
1t is up to Ottumwa's citizenship.
The plan suggested here Is not new
nor revolutionary. It simply is an ap-
plication Of the town meeting" plan
which is as old as American civiliza-
ton and which is being revived with
success in many progressive and well
governed cities. It will afford an OPP
portunity to prove what is an unques-
tionable fact-that the majority of Of
tumwans are heartily in favor of law
and order and good government.
Let the line be drawn right there, be-
tween these institutions on the one
side, and vice, outlawry and official in
competence on the other. There Is no
question as to what the result will be
IL the issue is defined far enough In ad-
vance Of the election.
This should be Ottumwa's New Year
resolution.
