there was discovered n fatal defect that prevented
successful proof as surely as though it involved the
spirit 81 the Law. rather than n peculiar exception
70 the letter Of it. The commissioner, in a letter
dated March "a, 1921. was advised as follows.
Respectfully returned to the commissioner Of
the gneral land office with the information that
in the case of Miles Jordan Davis. Sec. b. 5. A

was taken sick en- route to Moscow. and died before
induction too kplace, October "a. 1915
In other words, Davis actually died while on
his way to become a soldier. just nine days after
he had filed on the homestead, and his mother stood
to lose the homestead because he had not actually
been indicted into the service at the time Of his
death. 1t was so correct this peculiar situation.
unprovided for in the general law, that MondeI
urged drafting of the special bill upol the com
missioner The bill is forwarded by the COM
missioner with a strong recommendation that il
be passed.
A similar situation arose in connection with
the collection Of war risk insurance. In order
10 obtain this Insurance for the mother, it was
necessary for Mondell to secure incorporation of a
special clause in the Sweet bill. But for this the
mother. whose son was her sole support would
have lost both the insurance and the homestead.
1t was the insurance that enabled her to place
on the homestead improvements necessary TO proof.
This new bill, now ready for presentation should
clear up the last obstacle in the way Of proof.

The Coue Method.

In the discussion heard on every
side. OF DR.. Coue's method there seem
to be but two points OF view ex-
pressed. Those who are not obsessed
by the idea jeer at II. But the flaw
In the system. 1. e.. the dethrone-
ment OF the will is hardly ever
brought up or seen to be disastrous
TO the whole moral nature. Before
We are ~captivated' by results in hyp-
motto suggestion let us examine prem
Uses and see whore they lead. Or.
Coue argues that 1t is the magma
ton and not the will which is the
real ruler in man; ergo. though ths
will To be well has little or no eft
feet upon a sick body. n self-hyp-
notism that imagines and pictures
oneself as in fact becoming quite
wei will do the trick.
That DIR. Cuue's assumption so very
largely correct constitutes the trag.
ody of the souli II is why we are
where we are: bound % our lower ma
ture in spite Of vision beyond 1t and
lacking a freedom In ourselves which
no state enactment can give us. Shall
We. then. deliberately cater to this
fundamental weakness OF spiritual
evolution? Every time that hypno-
tism Is usedt the will is weakened
and Put in subsection to a quality ms
unstable as water.
The imagination as ruler runs riot
with normal impulses n knocks
discrimination a sense OF proper
ton endways. Wherever and when.
ever II is entirely enthroned there
Will be found a selfish and unbal-
anced outlook, often leading TO de.
cadence, for 1t lives upon change. and
quick change at that.
The will is creative and in its high
est and most detached aspect god
like. The IMAGINATION is creative
also Of Illusion. as its realm is the
transitory and evanescent. devoid OF
n sense of moral values. When II
forces the will to do its bidding, as
per DR.. Coue's system. It achieves
substantial results tthe will being the
tool and the imagination .he hand
that wields III: it is the old story of
the god put into the service of not
the plain brute, but a little dancing.
masquerading devil. which under
the guise of minis.ering to his bod
lily well being Will lead the man likt

Sdping the Homestead.

AN ECHO of the world war, presenting some un.
n usual features from the technical standpoint
and that broader one of human interest, is con-
tanned in q bill by Floor Leader Mondell and in
behalf of Mrs. May aDvis of Gillette.
The bill is intended to save to the widowed moth
err of the late Miles Davis the 640-acre homestead
for which Davis had asked designation shortly
before his death while en- route in the early
stages of the war to the training camp at the
University of Idaho. Because of the peculiar cir
cumstances involved, special legislation was neces-
STATED.
There is a general law under which the heirs of
a homestead entryman who dies in the military
service of the United States are privileged to per
feet the entry. After the death of her son, Mrs.
Davis proceeded therefore to perfect his entry on
the theory that the law applied in his case. She
expended $500 on a dam and $500 for fencing, sub
mitted proof OF the strength of these improvements
and her proof was accepted in the Buffalo land of
flee and forwarded to the general land office at
Washington.
