ply to have the classification made,
but this latter class should not apply
for the classification of a tract occu
pied by a pettier before that date,
otherwise, they might lose their pref
erence right.

from their headquarters, and so can
not be reached at all times with equal
certainty by all applicants. To avoid
any undue advantage of one applicant

plications under this act must be for
warded by mall to the forester, Wash
ington, D. C, by the applicants.

before the bill has become a law will
