I)y NOLAN SKIFF
Tlio present war begun aa to the

present CongrcsB, working In con
junction with the Department of the

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

the most important is the Act of July
2S, 11)17, ( I'ubllc No. 32), Military

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.

A FHIONCH RAILROAD CENTIOR
Hoc. 10. (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.

"Jt only remains for n.e to speak of tho

and their harmonious' and successful work in
the training camps.
"Cordially and sincerely,

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.

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
