To any whom is may concern:

damage to the roads and bridges

our utmost to at least get all the

taking them away to do your thresh-

bridges are not back in position IN

GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
English oandies Played for High
Stakes In the Latter Part Of
Eighteenth Century.

Almack's was one of the famous old
gambling clubs OF London. 1t was at
its height in the latter part Of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. Ii was not uncommon
for the losses in a single night to
amount to upwards Of 100000.
The young men, dandies all, who in
tended to play set about the matter
with a great deal of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brims,
flower and ribbon trimmed the brims
intended to keep the light from their
eyes, and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took off their
ruffies and silk or satin coats and wore
In their place a rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about their
arms to protect the delicate lace and
hues Of their coats from the soil of the
table.
At each players side was a small
table that held their tea, wine cakes
and rolls Of rouleaus or chips. Most
of the players wore long curls, eye
glasses mounted on long sticks. were
p%erfumed. powdered and painted like
court ladies, and ONE of them even
affected a mlncing ladylike walk. But
those who made the error of thinking
them ladylike in their fighting ability
made a mistake that often cost a life,
for the gay young sparks would draw
swords at the drop OF a hat and meet
death with a laugh.

HOW LEGION MEN GET LAND
Applicants for Homestead Entries
Should First Make Personal In
spection of District.

In response to many inquiries from
garding government land grants, Irwin
/. Femrite, secretary of Argonne post
of the American Legion in Des Moines,
Ia. has made on inves igation of the
situation.
persons desiring to make homestead
entries" said Mr.. Femrite. should
first fully inform themselves as to the
character and quality of lands they
desire to enter and should in no case
apply to enter until they have ex-
amined each legal subdivision for
which they make application. Salts
factory information concerning the
lands may be obtained from a personal
visit to the district I'm which one
wishes to take out land.
Each applicant is required to swear
that he is well acquainted with the
character of the land described in
his application and the only way that
he can assure himself that prior
settlers have no claim is to make a
personal inspection of same.
An ex-service man is required to
establish residence on the land in
volved after his entry is allowed, I'M
less an extension of time is granted
on account of sickness, climatic
reasons or similar excuses. Credit is
given for service in the Army. Navy
or Marines, providing the applicant
has had eighteen months of service. II
such is the case, the applicant is re-
quired to live on the land only seven
months, If he obtains so much credit
for military service that there is re-
quired only one years residence, he
must prove only such moun or
cultivation as will prove his good faith
as a homestead claimant. If his
credit for service requires more than
n years residence, he must show
cultivation to the extent of One-six-
teenth of the area of the land be-
ginning with the second year. Regard
less of credit for service, all appli-
cants must prove that there is a
habitable house on the land.

country where land may be obtained
without the requirement of a home
stead. At Sentinel, AriZ., there are
10000 acres open. for which no home
stead is required, but which necessi-
tates the payment of seventy-five
dollars for three hundred and twenty
acres and an expenditure of one
dollar per acre for Improvement. This
is arid land which may be used for
cotton raising If irrigated. When
irrigated, it sells for from two to
three hundred dollars an acre. 1t
is estimated that the cost of irriga-
tion IN three hundred and twenty
acres is about $1,000.
approximately l32,OOO,OOO acres of
land are open, including every state
west of the Mississippi river except
Iowa and Texas. The first thing to
do is to decide on the state. Then,

that state. All blank forms Of atiida-
Wits and other papers may be obtained

land lies.
taking out a homestead Is not a
speculative proposition. IL the appli-
cant can afford to establish himself
for the period required under the
homestead laws. taking advantage of
the credit allowed him for service In
the World war, he will be well repaid
