The 640 Acre
Tract
J .'..The 640 acre bij!, providing for
the entry of that number of acres
of "stock raising lands," has
passed , the House of Represent
atives, and is now before the
Senate.' The land subject to such
entry must be chiefly valuable
for grazing "and ;. raising'of for
age crops; and mustnot contain
merchantable timber , nor be
susceptible of irrigation from
any known source of water sup
ply. The thought laying at the
foundation,- of this legislation is
. that it will reasonably require. 640
acres of this kind of land to sup
port a family. - : "
Persons who have already en
tered land of this character may
acquire additional acreage within
20 milts. The purchase of con
tiguous grazing land may be at
$1.25fpe'acrejby;those;who have
title to less than 640 acres under
the homestead law of the United
States. V The' Secretary of the In
life is the passion for more life
Doing and becoming this h the
tonic thin which fronts the sou
with t each new, morning.'the sil
ver dew , which iesupon the
highway grasses to refresh the
tircdjfeet of those who fare.
Man on his journey, is inspired
by song; for, this! thejlark was
given. His eyes are rested by a
panorama of color; for this invis-
able bras hesliue the trees in au
tumn. He? was, made. t for com
radeship; for this a friend with
shining jf ace comes and Walksjby
hia side. 1( For every need of his
spirit an answering meed is pro
vided, and ;every!birch by the
path waves its signal of cheer.
Therefore blessed is he who lives
tothe full.the passing hours and
hales , each dawn with 'courage
and gladness, saying, "Behold.to
me is givenlthisj day ; another
chance at life and Destiny!"
