To Reduce Homestead Requirements

:. Washington, Jan pa senate bill
modifying homestead laws to shorten
the period of residence required of
settlers in mountainous regions of the

amendment. The present law requires
seven months residence a year for
three years, but the bill would permit
land office registers to require six
months for four years, or five months
for five years in. regions where ch-
matte conditions make the longer pc.
riod impractical.

Greatest Progress in History
of Country Ahead of Us

NEW YORK, July 30.--If the peo-
pie OF this country have sense
enough 70 take advantage of their
opportunity. there is no question
that the greatest progress in the his
tory of any country is ahead of us.
Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel corporation, was
quoted as saying in an interview to-
day.
Regarding reports that the Euro
pean financial situation is critical,
Gary said:
IF bankers say so, I will subordi-
nate my opinion to theirs. The ques-
ton of rates of exchange is serious,
possibly. but would not character
lie 1t as dangerous. 1t seems to me
that difficulty ought to be over

Increase in the corporations earn

pared with the previous three
months, was accepted today as indl-
eating revival of the steel trade is
well under way. and that this i'm

SOv|ETS
NOT new FAD
Have Existed for Years,
Says Robbins

The soviets in Russia will continue
to be the controlling influence in
Russian political life. in the opinion
Of Colonel Raymond Robbins. repre-
sentative Of the American Red Cross
in Russia, who spoke at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church Tuesday
night. Col. Robbins has recently re-
turned from Russia, where he saw
the fighting in that country and
studied the political situation from
every angle.
The soviets. according to Col. Rob
bins, have really existed in Russia for
generations. They are the town meet
ings. and have a major influence In
the life of the Russians.
81 believe" said Col. Robbins. that
the soviets will remain permanent
institutions in Russia. They are like
neighborhood get-together meetings.
and for this reason / believe they
will survive.
1.-THE Bolsheviks will never remain
in power. They cannot handle the
situation, and the people will soon
learn 1t. The Bolsheviks are politi-
cal power and economically they are
unsound."
The cause OF the revolution In Rus
STA, said Col. Robbins. was that the
principal Industries were owned by
Germans, who left for Germany at
the outbreak of the war. The Rus
slams were incapable of handling the
industries and Russia suffered an
economic breakdown.
There is little probability Of Boil
shevism sweeping this country, be-
cause Of the political formation, Rob
bins believes. II the people do not
like the existing form Of government
they NAV change 1t thru the polls.

Bailey said guards were placed
about the 'pyres" to prevent pho

were curious about this destruction,
he said but could not ascertain
why II was ordered, or who ordered
1t.
Today's investigation was in
charge OF Congressman Bland, Ind.

man johnson, South Dakota.
Bland said the committee also
proposed to inquire into alleged
enormous expenditures thru destruc.
ton OF trees in various parts OF
France and bills presented by lie
French for deprecated land values
resulting from digging trenches. He
said inquiry would also be made

The committee was particularly
anxious to determine the identity
of officers alleged TO be responsible
for the ''million-dollar" fire and
similar incidents. Bland said this
phase OF the investigation resulted
from General March's request for
such information from General

Bland. replied there had been nc
useless destruction.
The committee will complete its
work here in a day or two and will

Blood-Iron Phosphate
Makes on Stronger

If you are weak, thin and nervous;
IL you are lacking in that vim, vigor
and vitality which makes work a
pleasure and life worth living; It's al
most a certainty that you are lacking
in nerve force and that your blood is
shy millions of those red oxygen
carrying cells on which health and
even life itself depends. In cases like
this the great French discovery
known among druggists here as
BloodIron Phosphate is invaluable;
because 1t not only increases the oXy-
gen carrying power of the blood, but
also supplies to the system that form
of phosphate which eminent scientists
claim is converted directly into living
nerve tissue. Get enough pure Blood
Iron Phosphate from George A. Cor
gas or any other good druggist for a
three weeks treatment-it costs only
SO cents a week-and take as directed.
If at the end of three weeks you don't
feel stronger and better than you
have for months; If your eyes aren't
brighter, and your nerves steadier; if
you don't sleep better. and your vim,
vigor and vitality aren't more than
doubled. you can have your money
back for the asking and Blood-Iron
Phosphate will cost you nothing.
