The present CongrcsB, working In con junction with the Department of the Interior, has passed legislation re lieving homestead claimants who have entered tho military service. In discussing the acts. It is difficult to fully explain the meaning of var ious portions thereof in a limited space. Of nets recently passed by CongreBS, benrlng upon this Biibjeet, the most important is the Act of July 2S, 11)17, ( I'ubllc No. 32), Military Service by HonicHtcadcrs During War, which provides, In part, as ."ol lows: Tho benefits of tho act aro con ferred upon a person who, before 0 ing Into tho servico, bad actually made a homestead entry, had effect ed and maintained a valid settle ment upon n tract properly subjnrt to entry by him, or had filed nn Al lowance application upon the land. This last includes one who had filed a petition for designation tinder Mr enlarged homestead act or the nteclf. raising homestead law, accompanied by an application to enter, provided his entry bo allowed pursuant to u designa tion mnde while the war las! and credit will bo given for the serv ice of such soldier had after the dr.to of tho designation. The act doe., not. protect any entry from cancella tion on account of defaults of the homesteader occurring before h went into tho service. I'orlod of Credit Allowed liosidcucc lteirulred A soldier Is entitled to credit on the residence and cultivation pre scribed by tho homestead law for tin timo of his service during tho war; hut one whoso discharge is on ac count of wounds received or dis ability Incurred In the line of duty is entitled to credit for tho owK? term of his enlistment, without- ref erence to time of actual service. However, the homosteader will bo in quired to show at least one year's residonce and cultivation in connec tion with his entry, regardless of the length of his set vice or the fact that bo has been discharged on one of the grounds Indicated. During each year's residence which he may bo required to show ho Is entitled to the five month's absence privilege liko other homesteaders. No Credit Where Claim Initialed After Servico Neither this act nor any olhev legislation contains a provision by which a person who initiates a home stead claim, by filing application or by making settlement on public land, after entering the army, navy or ma rine corps, or other organization !n tlio present war, may obtain credit In connection therewith on ncco inl of his servico. Notice to Land Department of Enter ing .Military Service. While the lr.w thun protects ci'tiv men engaged In military service from contest nguinst their entries on the ground of abandonment and it is not obligatory upnn them to i.d vise the Land Dpcurtment as to I heir reasons for leaving their claims, it is advisable that each shall notify the local United States Land Orfiee or the facts in that regiud. Cireu lare are procurable at the local office showing specifically who ii; en titled to credit for military servlee, period of credit, allowed, realden.'c required, and the rights of widow.-., minor children, heirs or devisees. The act of October B, 1 ! 1 7 . re'a' ive to soldiers making necessary afii- luvils, In connection with their pen ile laud claims, is so conct.se in it.-, J lunmine.e that we (iiiute It lite-aily. lie It enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congr .-.: assembled. That during the continu ance of tho present war with lier iiiany, and until his discharge fioui the service, any man serving in tin armed forces of the United Slates who prior to the beginning of his ser vices, was n settler, an applicant, or entrymnn under the lain! laws of the United States, or who has. prior to enlistment, filed a contest with the view of exercising preference rk'.hl of entry therefor, mil' make any t.r fldav.lt required by law or regula tion of the department, affeetin:: such application, entry, or centcst, m;- necessary to the making of ent:y in the ease of the siirccs.'.f ill termini. - tlou of such contest awarding him n preference right of entry, beforo IiIb commanding officer as provided in section twenty-two hundred anil ninety-three of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which affidav its shall be as binding In law an,! with like penalties as if taken be foro an official of tho United States Land Office. The officials of the land office will be very glad to furnish interest ed parlies information or literature in connection with the subjects above referred to, as well as any other matter having reference to the dis position of public lands within their jurisdiction.

(By Mail.) What an Am erican union labor man can do when Us for hla country and not a corpora tion he's serving is demonstrated here. Working in tho. big railway shops here is a unit of the U. S. Army Eng ineers, recruited principally from one of the best known railroads running Into New York. Tho men came from the Eastern railroad sliops where the repair work Is done. Every man wan a member of the union at home. His union prescribed bow many hours a day he should work, bis wages and holidays. Here In Franco today these ex pert shopmen aro repairing loco motives from C:30 A. M. until 7 1'. M., with an hour ofr for dinner. Working beside the American shopmen are French civilian shop men. The French' shopmen work leisurely and talk a great deal, tak ing in ndditlon scvoral breathing spells along with eating spells. At eight o'clock ho has breakfast, us ually bread and wine. Thla follows the little breakfast ho ate at home early In the morning. At noon be lakes an hour off to eat bread and cheese with red wine. The American shopmen work at the usual American pressure without rest periods and with n single meal at noon. t J i J i i '! S 1 1 1 iS !;i President Wilson Says: , "Jt only remains for n.e to speak of tho sincere gratification with which I have learned of the co-operation of the Youiif; Men's Chris tian Association and the Knights of Columbus and their harmonious' and successful work in the training camps. "Cordially and sincerely, "WOODUOW WILSON." ' We heartily endorse the President on this, Newlin Book & Stationery Company i The result of American luhor in tho locnl shops lias been that broken down locomotives aro getting scarce on this part of the French railway system. On the other hand rail road officials aro busy trying to keep the shops supplied with frayed loco motives needing mending. Men who would vote for a strike at the first effort of a corporation to infringe the union's rules in America aro working for army pay here today without a grumble. In fact they are satisfied. "What do tho men think of the work and tho hours," I asked a young lieutenant who used to be foreman in tho Pennsylvania fdiops at Jeisey City. "Well, it was pi city hard until wo got used to it," be said. "Now it isn't so bad. The hours remind tho men of how easy wo were hav ing It back home with tho old eight hour day. Wo wouldn't do it for tho Pennsylvania railroad. But this Is another matter. All of us realize that its for I'ncle :;in and we're nil satisfied to work liny hours to beat the Germans. I hope the peopio at home realize what most of us hnve given up to come over hero and work. Flint, most everyone of us had a good eight hour job. Second, in my case and its the samo with some others I know, I'vo got a motli er and wife and child back in Jersey City, who've been me every day with out a miss. I'm kind of homesick nnd I suppose they would like to see 1110 hut a fellow has to put all that aside when Its his country." Within a tow weeks, the Americ an shopmen duartered hero will leave to take over brand new shops, exclusively American, in another part of Franco. O . Soon Over His Cold. Everyone speaks weir ot Chamber lain's Cough Remedy nftor having tired' it. Mrs. George Lewis, Piltn field, N. Y., has this to say ragarding ,11: "Last winter my littlo boy, five years old, was sick with a cold for two or three weeks. I doctored hlni nud used various cough medicines hut nothing did him much good un til I began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Ho then improved rapidly and in a few days, was over his cold." Adr.
