HO.Uh'STKAD KXTKY-MEX GRANTED LEAVE On the 20tli of December, last, congress passed au act authorizing the absence from their claims of 'homestead eiitrvmen during the period of the war for the purpose of allowing such ontrynien to assist in farm work. .'.' The Observer has received from Congressman N. J. Siiniott a summary of the important features of this act, as the same lias not yet been given any publicity as to the specific points of the new regulation. In order that such entrymen as may be in position to take advantage of the leave of absence thus granted and for the information of farmers who may be able to avail themselves of such work, the summary of this act is given herewith. ";; "-Regulations under the act ot December 20, 1917, vhih act is to remain in full force and effect only during the period of the present war, are now being prepared by the general land office and will probably be available for distribution in the near future. A person desiring to avail himself of the provisions of the act above mentioned, must file, within fifteen days after leaving his homestead, at the United States land office in which land is situated, jliotufe thb'he"h;wlcft the land -pursuant to the provisions of the act for the purpose of farm labor elsewhere. On or before February 1 of each year he must file in the land office a written statement under oath, corroborated by two witnesses, with regard to such absence or absences during the last current year. Said statement must give the date or dates when he left the land and the date or 'dates of his return thereto; names and places where he was engaged in farm work and the name of the party for Svhom the work was performed, otherwise the entrynian 'js not entitled to the benefits of the act." ; o Here's the latest type ot Brit ish recruiting officer a sergeant, she Is.

WOOD Avars and rumors of war Jt is a saying somewhat hackneyed and not intended to be sacrilegious that the Bible can be quoted in support of almost any proposition that may be named, if the deduc tion is to be applied either directly or only by inference. Hut the old, old declaration as to "rumors of war' is cer tainly seeing fulfillment in these times. The office phone rang this morning and the question came straight forth, "Have you received word that .Japan lias declared war against the United States ?" Upon as surance that no such report had come to The Observer office, the questioner, a lady, said. "Well. 1 am so greatly relieved to hear it. 1 thought if there was any truth in the report that you people would know something about it. J just heard it yesterday and I could not sleep any last night thinking about it." This is a fair sample of the war rumor that get into circulation. Hut this lady, who lives out in the eountrv. is no less susceptible of being led away by false reports than are the people in town. This morning there were frequent inquiries as to a reported clash on the western front of the most stupendous nature, in which 70,000 were reported killed. There is no truth in this report, which I is as far-fetched as the other one. On the contrary, the 'news reports todav indicate the belief that the (iermans ' fme a complete shut-down or I ... .

However, the business man do- uel clined to take his word for the dif ficulty, and began consulting motor truck authorities. He found none who cared to tackle the Job until he phoned C. S. Henshaw. Mr. Hen shaw was so confident of the ability of Dodge Brothers commercial car to go anywhere that he was willing to send out as many as were need ed. The cars readily made their way lo the wood lot.
