I nmarned women, widows, ;
maidens and deserted wives, who .
are over the age of twenty-one
years, are entitled to all the
rights, privileges and benefits
under the homestead laws that
can be enjoyed by men.
The mother ot a living child
or children, whether widow, des
erted wife or unfortunate single
person, may acquire title to land
as the head of a family, though
""der tho of twenty-one.
Widows of deceased entrymen

of their
husbands and -mav
make final
proof an(1 tlkl. title in their own
names, it is not aosoiuieiy nec
essary that they should reside
upon the land after the death of
the husband, as residence and
cultivation for the prescribed
time is all that is demanded of
Widows and minor heirs.

I an entry the same as her hus
j band, if living, might do. and in
making final proof receive credit
in lieu of residence on the land
for the period of the husband's
service, not to exceed four years.
The deserted wife of a home- j
stead entrymair may mane nnai
proof as his agent and have pat
ent issue in the name of her hus
band or she may contest his en
try on the ground of abandon
ment oi the claim and after can
cellation, enter the land in her

wiser course, for many reasons.
