Under this law title to homestead
land can be obtained in three i instead
of five years under the old law. Act
ual resident of twenty-one months
during the three years of entry is re
quired, which allows homesteaders to
absent themselves five months each
year from the place. Congress has
been moved to thus liberalize the
homestead laws because of the many
people moving from the United States
to Canada where it has been much
easier to obtain government land. It
is generally regarded aa a good law
and is especially beneficial to home
steaden In the west.
An Emblem Suggestion.
This jingle, credited “Adod,” Is
found In the Kearney Ilub:
The rose may bloom for England,
The Illy for France unfold;
Ireland may honor the shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold—
But the shield of the great republic,
The glory of all the West,
Shall bear a stalk of tasscled corn,
Of all our wealth the best.
The arbutus and the goldeorod,
The heart of the north may cheer;
And the mountain laurel for Maryland,
Its royal clusters may rear,
And the jasmine and magnolia
The crest of the South adorn—
But the republlc’9 emblem
Is the bounteous golden corn.
(If It rains.)
