They say that its provisions fit only the situation at Peru, and that for' all practical purposes it might well have been tabled, "An act to enable Peru to annex whatever ter ritory it pleases." The claim is made that the owners of the annexed property will get no benefit because of its detached char acter; that the land is used for agri cultural and residence purposes only; that it does not represent an actual growth of the village, but , Is land acquired simply because it is close to An attack on the law passed by the legislature of 1913, which pro vides power for a municipality to take in property in spite of the fact that the state may own land between the town proper and the part sought to be annexed, was made in supreme court Friday, when Wilson E. Majors and others filed a brief in support of their appeal from a district court order allowing their holdings to be taken in by the town. The greater part of the town of rem, as legally constituted, lies on the river bottoms. To the south and west of it Is a tract of seventy acres owned by the state, upon which is located what Is properly called a state teachers' college, but which is popularly known as the Peru normal. This is located on the hillside and also on the plateau above. To -the south of thi3 state property a consid erable number of residences have been built. . They are outside the NEBRASKA G.O.P.

The Key that Unlocks the Door to Long Living The men of eighty-live and ninety years of age are not the rotund, well fed, but thin, spare men, who live on a slender diet. Be as careful as he will, however, a man past middle town age will occasionally eat too much or limits and are not contiguous to of some article of food not suitbd to them because of the intervening: tract of state land. The town of Peru has annexed them under the" provisions of Section 5,088. They don't want to be annex ed, and their attorneys tell the su preme court that this law is a bad law because it is a special legisla tion. It was introduced in 1913 by E. E. Good, Peru banker and repre sentative In the lower house, and they say it was for the specific pur pose of enabling the town to reach his constitution, causing Indigestion or constipation and will need a dose of Chamberlain's Tablets to move his bowels and invigorate his stomach. When this is done, there is no reason why the average man should not live to a ripe old age. Weyrich & Hadraba.

No dele gates will be allowed, under the new rule from congressional districts which do not maintain a republican organization and do not cast at least 2,500 republican votes. This strips many southern districts entirely of representation, reducing South Caro lina's strength from 11 to 4, Mis sissippi 'from 12 to 4, Louisiana's from 12 to 9 and Georgia's from 17 to 9. The Florida delegation, how ever, is increased from 8 to 10, Ten nessee's from 20 to 26 and Virginia's from 15 to 16. ' Four delegates at large are allowed each state and two additional dele gates at large are called for on each representative at large. Poll records from several southern states have been difficult to obtain according to national committee leaders and later information may slightly change the tentative apportionment. Tulsa, OkJa., Sept. 14. A military censor took up his post in the edi torial rooms of the 'Tulsa Tribune, an afternoon paper, at noon today. He ordered "proofs" of all news mat ter relating to Governor Walton and 1 martial law In Tulsa county to be submitted to him for approval. ! The censor Is Major Roark of Ok lahoma City, a former newspaper man and an officer in the Oklahoma national guard contingent here to en force military rule. I The Tulsa Tribune announced earlier today it would apply for an injunction in United States district court to prevent Governor Walton from interfering with the publica tion of the paper if the executive carried out his threat to establish military censorship over its news columns. The Tribune denies Governor's Walton's allegation that the Tribune has "agitated against the state's military investigation of masked ac tivities in Tulsa county." Statement of Owner A signed statement issued later by Richard Lloyd Jones, owner and pub lisher of the Tribune, said in part: "The Tribune will defend its con stitutional rights for freedom of the press in the courts of the land, but meanwhile, we shall comply with the rules of the military censor. Unless the rights which have been sacred in America since the days of 1776 are now to be trampled upon, we may rightly expect to gain legal sanction to publish all the news about condi tions in Oklahoma without fear or favor.- "Governor Walton has the power and the duty to suppress mob law, and to see that men guilty of mob violence are brought to justice. The Tribune will continue, to support him earnestly in every lawful move to bring about that end." Legislature May Meet A movement to curb the powers being assumed by. Governor Walton has taken the form of seeking to bring the legislature into extraordi nary session. Authorities differ on the right of the lawmaking body to take such action without a call from the governor, although it is said the matter is not prohibited by the state constitution.

The su preme court is making no material progress in clearing its docket. When it meets October 1 to begin its next term it will find substantially as many cases awaiting consideration as a year ago. This condition is not due to lack of effort, for no matter how fast the court speeds up its disposition of cases the .accumulation upon its docket keeps pace. The real trouble in the opinion of attorneys practic ing before the court, is that the ap pelate jurisdiction of the gih ttrseh pelate jurisdiction of the highest tri bunal is sought by many litigants whose controversies do not present questions worthy of its consideration, and who should not be permitted to consume its time. Congress has from time to time at tempted to solve the problem by leg islation, but laws are slow in reform ing human nature. As long as the court is open to those who would use it to delay the execution of sentences or take a last desperate chance to have an adverse decision reversed, its dockets will be crowded with cases in which an appeal is asked merely to postpone the inevitable day when the prison doors must close on the peti tioner, or when a judgment must be paid. Owing to the congestion of busi ness a case filed today will not be reached by the court for argument within eighteen months unless it Is included in that comparatively small number advanced for hearing out of turn. Although substantially 100 more cases were disposed of last term than in 1918, the court docketed dur ing that period fifty more than in 1918, and had at the end of the term undisposed of only forty less cases than it had at a corresponding period five years ago. The comparative in significance of business is evident when it is known that the number of cases annually docketed is in excess of 1,000. Should the court be able to maintain the progress made dur ing the last five years, it will be forty-five years before its docket is cleared. ENJOY FINE PICNIC Yesterday afternoon the ladies of the Women's Relief Corps enjoyed a very fine picnic at Garfield park where for several hours in the pleas ant autumn sunshine they were bus ily engaged in sewing carpet rags and enjoying social conversation that served to pass the time most delight fully.

Mrs. William Baird and Miss Sar ah Rector departed this morning for Omaha to spend a few hours attend ing to some matters of business and visiting with friends. RATINGS OF SEEDS ARE MADE PUBLIC Farmers are Urged by State to be Aware of Poor Grades Seed Should Be Tested. Lincoln, Sept. 13. A few of the dangers facing the Nebraska farmer in purchasing seed are listed by Grant L. Shumway, state secretary of agriculture, as follows: Rye samples from Beatrice, tested 96 per cent pure and 21 per cent ger mination. Alfalfa samples from University Place, tested 94 per cent pure and 60 pr cent germination. Supposedly alfalfa samples from Clatonla tested ,11.08 pure alfalfa seed and 83.93 sweet clover seed. Sweet clover from University Place tested 97.4 pure and 28 per cent germination. "There is just one safeguard for the purchaser and that Is to send the seed in for testing and if it doesn't test correctly we'll order it off the market," Shumway said.
