A Law of Benefit
to Home eaders
War Measure Still in Force Relieves
Entrymen Of Residence if Engag-
ed in Farm Labor Elsewhere.

After we entered the great war with
would need all the. man-powere we
could muster, both for fighting the
enemy in the field and for manufact-
uring ships and munitions in this
country. and Congress passed a num-
Der of laws intended to release for
other purposes mel who were employed
ut Unnecessary labor. Among these laws
was one relieving the homesteader from
living upon his land if instead he would
&c elsewhere and perform farm labor.
While the law was intended as a war
measure. to be in force only during
the war. Congress did not foresee that
our President might so manipulate af-
fairs as to keep us technically at war
with Germany for years after fighting
ceased, and so the law was worded in
peace is actually declared.
The law in question was passed De
cember 20. 1917, and applies only to en-
tries which We're initiated before that
date. This does not necessarily mean
that he entry must nave been allowed
before that date. or ever that an appli-
cation must have been submitted. but
in cases where an application for en-
try was pending on that late the law
applies as though the entry had been
allowed. Also in cases where settle
ment II been made on unsurveyed
lands, or n contest had beer initiated
against Il former entry. but no applica-
ton had been made on December 20.
1917, yet such settlement or contest is
considered as the initiation of an en-
try within the terms of the law. and
Il entrymen are entitled to its bene-
fits.
This law is peculiarly broad in its
scope and subject to few limitations.
The entryman may leave his land rs
often as he chooses and remain away as
long as he chooses and his residence is
credited the same as if he We're actually
on the land, providing he is employed
at farm labor elsewhere during tine
time he is absent. Such absences do
not tax the place of the five months

SOME ENCOURAGEMENT.

The proposition to be made by the
of the S. 4 Il. Railroad. as reproduced
elsewhere in this issue. is encouraging.
but it is not thought likely that 1t will
be accepted by the Morse Brothers
Company, although 1t may lead to
some comter-proposition that may be
found suitable to both parties.
The terms asked for sale or lease of
the road by the owners heretofore
have been eXorbitantly high and gem
orally considered unreasonable, and it
Pacific will not pay any exorbitant
prices for the property or for a lease
on the same. However, the willing
ness of the Union Pacific people to ac-
cept the management and operation
of h road for "A ~three-year period,
with the excellent chance for deficits
in its operation during that period, is
evidence that the appeals made t. them
by local people are having their effect.
The local committees will not relax
their efforts in the least, however. as
n result of this development, and all
preparations for resisting the applica-
ton for abandonment viii be gone
ahead with. While this latest develop
ment is encouraging. il should o lead
anyone to lie down on the job for it
may he that nothing whatever will re-
suit from it.
