UNITED STATES
LAND PATENTS
Names of Persons to Whom Titles
Land Have Been Issued
Other Information
to
The Herald has been requested to
publish information regarding the
Issuing of land patents to home
steaders by the United States, and
takes the opportunity to do so in
connection with a list of patents now
tn the Alliance land office ready for
delivery.
Some think that patents to l-tnd
are issued only at stated times, onto
r twice a year, but this is not the
case. Land patents are sent to the
local land offices by the department
f the interior, for delivery to entr;.
en. as the proofs of publication
have received final approval and the
patents prepared. Usually a con
siderable number are sent out at one
time.
Persons to whom land patents
have been issued should Becure them
from the U. S. land office as soon as
possible and have them placed on
record by the county clerk (recorder
f deeds) in the county in which the
land is located. Holding back pat
ents from record does not prevent
the land from being assessed, as the
patents, when issued, whether deliv
ered or not. are certified to the prop
er officers for assessment.
Patents which have been received
at the United States land office for
delivery to homesteaders may be se
cured by the persons to whom they
lave been issued upon surrender of
he "Register's Duplicate Certlfl
ate", which was issued when the
proof was allowed by the local land
efflce. This certificate may be de
livered in person at the land office
or sent by mail to the receiver. Many
have made the mistake of sendipg
the receiver's receipt back to the
land office to secure their patents.
This should not be done. See that
the paper you send in writing or
calling for your patent is stamped,
"Register's Duplicate Certificate."
Ip the event of the register's dup
licate certificate having been lost,
pepnrate affidavit must be made for
the tract embraced in the entry by
the present bona fide owner of the
land, accounting for the loss of the
certificate, and also showing owner
ship of the tracts, or a portion there
of, embraced in the patent, and that
the affidavit is made for the purpose
of obtaining the patent. If In doubt
as to what should be done in the
matter, or anything else pertaining
to their claims, homesteaders should
consult a reliable land attorney and
have the matter fixed up right, which
will be cheaper and better In the
long run than to take chances. In
this connection we wish to recom
mend as reliable those attorneys
whose professional cards are pub
lished in The Herald. We wish to
also urge upon homesteaders the im
portance of securing their patents
from the land office as soon as pos
sible and have them recorded.
Following is a list of the names of
persons to whom patents were issued
prior to January 1, 1914, and which
are yet in the Alliance land office
ready for delivery, the patents being

"I got that blade when I was a
soldier In the Steenth regiment in
the Philippines," Bald Bill. Our
regiment was on the Island of Kodo
punk, where resided the famous bead
hunters. We had been suffering for
days with the heat and were anxious
J for something to happen when one
! evening a shrill scream rose out of
! the wilderness of foliage near the
camp. Like one man we jumped to
I our feet, grabbed our muskits. ad
justed our bay-knots and with our
brave officers in the rear, headed for
the spot from whence came the cry
of terror. I, being one of the brav
est, was naturally In the lead. With
I a thousand men back of me I felt no
jfear and hastily rushing forward I
;came to a cleared space, lit up by the
j rays of the setting sun. There stood
! a native, black, brave and stiong. In
j whose uplifted hand was firmly held
' the "knife which you now see before
you. .Quickly raising my (t) rusty
gun I aimed with nerves of steel,
hoping that I might be in time to
save his victim upon whom the knife
was about to fall. My aim was true
and I struck him squarely in the cen
ter of the wrist. Rushing forward I
caught the knife before it fell.
"By this time my comrades were
crowding around me, anxious to
shake the hand of the bravest man
in the regiment. I was overwhelm
led with honors and It was not until
the next day that I learned I had
shot the native regiment butcher
I who had been butchering a bullock

beef. Since then I have kept the
knife as a memento of the time when
I first got my Ideas of how to suc
cessfully run the restaurant busi
ness." A sadder and wiser man we thank
ed Bill very kindly for his wonderful
TRUE tale, assuring him that never,
never under any circumstances wodld
we speak of it to anyone.

"To say that honesty is the best
policy to say in other words that
the more honest you are the richoi
you wil becomle that Is a silly and
self-evident lie."
The speaker, Harvey Woodruff,
the well-known G. A. R. historian of
Houston, had been discusdin? the
honesty of George Washington He
continued:
"To be virtuous meun& to : poor
and wretched. Take tlio c.aso of
Auntie Martha Washington Ciay.
"Auntie Martha vlslte I the ofllc
of a Nola Chucky lawyer und said:
" 'Ah wants a divorce from man
husband Cal.'
" 'Why, auntie, what has Cal been
doing?'
" 'He's done got religion, sah, an'
ah hain't tasted chicken lo tre
months.' "
Once upon a time a small boy,
about 3 years old, was taken to the
church to be baptized. As soon as
he caught sight of the bowl of water
in the minister's band he remember
ed bis antipathy for the bath tub,
and straightened himself up for the
attack.
When the minister approached
him, reverently dipping his hand In
the water, the little fello wsaid:
"If you put toap In my eyes I'll
bus you open."
A Chicago boy, who is in the
eighth grade at school, was speak
ing at the breakfast table the other
morning about the stupidity of an-;
other boy. "Gee," he said, "his
bean's solid ivory. I can hand bim
bull by the yard and he never gets
hep that he's be in' conned at all."
Some years ago a young woman

in this state. She desired baptism
in the river. Among the number
who saw the ceremony was little
Charlie, aged four. It was all new
to the child, who looked on In awe.
The next day this lady called at
Charlie's home and tried to have him
come to her. He shook his bead
and refused. "Don't you know who
I am?" she asked. "Yes, you're the
woman that went in swlmrain' with
the preacher on Sunday.

INTERNATIONAL Harvester ma
nure spreaders have a score of good
features in their construction. Each one is
the result of careful field experiment.
An 1 II C spreader is low enough for easy loading,
yet it has pleaty of clearance underneath. The rear
axle is well under the load, rear wheels have wide
rims and Z-shaped lugs, insuring good traction un
der all conditions. Frame, wtieok, and all driving
parts are of steel. Apron tension is adjusted by a
simple device. Winding of the beater is prevented
by large diameter, and beater teeth are strong, square
and chisel-pointed.
International manure spreaders are built in several
styles and sizes, low or high, endless or return aprou,
for small farms or large. Examination will show
sturdiness of construction in every detail. Repairs,
if ever needed, may always boha J of thelocs.1 dealer.
Examine International spreatVsrs at the dealer's.
We will tell you who sells thora, and we will send
you interesting catalogues.

Frank Palmer, a ranchman living
fourteen miles south of. Alliance,
came agar losing bis buildings ' , y
tire at 11 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. No one was at the house at the
time and. Mr. Palmer was In the
field working. On looking up he no
ticed that the hay stack, which was
only twenty feet from the barn, was
on fire. l':
Running to the stack he secured a
fork and kept the burning hay away
from the barn and sheds. ' If he had
not seen the fire, a few mlnntes more
would have resulted In the loss of his
entire set of farm buildings. No fire
was In the house and he is at a loss
to account for the origin of the
blaze.
