KANT ATTEND GAME prom Saturday's Datlv The great "football game between Nebraska and Syracuse at Lincoln to day attracted the attention of a large number of the football fans of this locality and cars were early in their start for tbe capitol city, where the contest was staged at the memorial stadium of the university. This game is one of the important intersectional games of the season and should be a- real battle as the Syracuse team has a great record and their passing and aerial work is con- sidered among the best of any team in the country, while Nebraska is recognized by the football authori ties as having one of the top-notch football machines of the 1927 eeason, having smothered Grinnell by a lop sided, score st tfiiusa tw vekc New State Capitol to be Mecca for the Nation's Artists t Paintings in the New Building to Be Ready for Inspection by Thanksgiving Week. Lincoln, Nebr., Oct. 28. Nebras ka's new state capitol will be the Mecca fox Western artists during Thanksgiving week, when the first sectional convention of the Amer ican Federation of Arts will be held in Lincoln. For many years the federation has maintained a Western office at the University of Nebraska, and when this year an important step forward was taken in planning western sec tional conventions, Lincoln was hon ored by having the first meeting:. Some of the most important artists and critics in the country, and par ticularly those of the western terri tory, will come to Lincoln for tbe strsions on November 21, 22 and 22. Nebraska's new capitol, which has gained nation-wide prominence be cause of its artistic qualities, will be the chief interest of the visiting artists. By Thanksgiving week the paintings in the governor's rooms, by Augustus Vincent Tack, will be in place, and Mr. Tack has been in vited to talk on the decorative work he did for the new state house. Indeed, one session of the artists' convention will be held at the capitol, given over entirely to study and dis cussion of the building. There will be a paper read concerning the or iginal architects' competition, and another on the general art of the capitol. But there will be other interests for the visitors. Informal luncheons, two banquets, a reception at the Governor's Mansion, and other fes tivities are planned. In addition to this, some of the most important travelling exhibition of the American Federation will be shown at Morrill hall, the new home of the museum and School of Fine Arts made possible by gifts to the University by the Hon. Charles H. Morrill of Stomsburg. Western art will be emphasized at the convention. The most important exhibit to be shown in Morrill hall is a large display of western artists. An attempt is being made to make a demonstration of the Quality of the western output. "The eastern conventions have bf-en very notable gatherings." rep resentative of the wejstern office of the Art Federation, "and they have made it possible for artists, are pat rons, and teachers of art to meet in both formal and informal groups and to stimulate each other to higher activity. It is hoped to make this kind of influence active in the west ern territory."

Committee MEXICANS ARE DEPORTED Houston. Tex.. Oct. 2S. The Hous ton Post-Disnatch tomorrow will' quote advices from Mission, Tex., de claring numerous Mexicans, many of whom have lived in the United States for years, are being deported 1 to Mexico by immigration officers. The advices said there were various J reports that the Mexicans would be impressed into the army or be sent to colonize waste lands. "According to a report in this sec tion, members of the border patrol were recently requested to ascertain the number of aliens residing along the border," the Post-Dispatch in-! formant says. "This was miscon strued or served to stimulate the ac tivities of the immigration service in ascertaining these facts rnd they have been, according reports, mak ing wholesale deportations of Mex icans. Maes meetings have been held at many points, the newspaper will say, to quiet fears among thousands of Mexicans living along the border. G. H.

(Special o the Evening Journal) Memphis, 'Down in Dixie" is being given the "once oer" this week by J. Harlan Peterson, of Valley, Nebraska's cham pion dairy calf club member for 1927. Together with Btate dairy champions from sixteen other states, he is spending the week at the Na tional Dairy Show and Tri-State Fair as the guest of the Blue Valley reamery Institute. A big factor in winning the trip to Memphis for young Peterson was the record of his dairy calf club project for this year which is said by the state- club leaders to be the neatest and most accurate ever placed on file by a Nebraska dairy calf club mem ber. Back of this record, too, is a splendid piece of work as a dairy calf club member and as a young citizen in his community. Harlan started in dairy calf club work three years ago with a little white Holstein heifer. At the state fair this year she was the sensation of the show. Last year he started again with another purebred Kolstein heifer. He has shown his stock at the county fair every year and at the state fair twice, nev$r winniny anw thing sensational but always in the money. Showing' cattle teaches sportsmanship he has found, and es pecially is this true when a lad has to be content with seconds, thirds, etc. Harlan stands in high regard in his community, and in his high school, from which he graduated last spring. Last year he won the Amer ican Ltgion medal as the outstanding high school boy at Valley. He in tends to Ettc-iid the University of Ne braska agricultural college, where he expects to specialize in dairying. Through club work and the help of hir father, he is starting a purebred herd on the farm and he wants all the training he can get to make it a success. H0HE SEED WHEAT TREATED THIS YEAR A recent follow-up survey of re r,u!ts of the Burlington Wheat Smut special indicates that the practice of treating seed wheat to stop smut loss es has been greatly extended this year. This train which carried exhibits demonstrating methods of treating seed with copper carbonate dust for prevention of smut was operated by the Burlington and Colorado & Southern railways in Colorado, Ne braska and Kansas, in cooperation with the agricultural colleges of thene states and the Omaha Grain Exchange. F. L. Taylor of Denver, agricul tural agent for these railroads, re cently compiled information t from registration cards which were given out. to wheat farmers who visited this train. On these cards 81.99 per cent of the farmers who reported stated definitely that they would treat their seed to prevent smut this year, while last year only 4C.C per cent of these farmers treated their seed. Fifty-three and four-tenths per cent reported that they did not treat at all for smut last year, and Mr. Taylor states that 3G.8 per cent of those who did not treat reported that they had losses in 1S26. All those who reported that they had treated last year stated that practically no smut deeloped in their fields, fur nishing good proof that cmut can be eieminated by proper treatment of seed. "These figures wre secured from icports f nearly 2.000 farmrrs scat tered over a very wide are.?,," pdds Mr. Taylor, "and, since almost 82 per cfnt of these wheat grews now appreciate the value f treating seed, we feel that the campaign was very effective. This is further evidence, too. of the progress) veness of these farmers and of the business men in tliete eornniunities who also cooper ated with ' the Burlington in this campaign to induce farmers to adopt the practice of treating their seed to prevent losses from smut." SUPPRESS FOREIGN NEWS Bucharest, Rumania, Oct. 28. For eign newspapers containing Prince Card's interview in which he con firmed having sent letters to Ruman ian leaders, were not distributed when they arrived today since any article containing the name of the former crown prince of Rumania is declared contraband. Despite the flurry that followed p U1 - luauonestu ami nie eruuic at ins iiouie ui letters from Prince Carol, complete order and tranquility tonight prevailed throughout Rumania. Princess Helen, Carol's abandoned wife, remained in Bucharest with her young son, King Michael. Queen Marie, Princess Ileana and Prince Nicholas were at Sinaia, where the royal country palace is situated, preparing to celebrate the dowager queen's fifty-first birthday tomorrow. We are told that every state has a different school system, and what might go in one state will not go in another, even certificates of teach ers. One thing stands out clear, that the peoples are not receiving the es sential education they pay so much in taxes for. Oner-half of the taxes now goes to education Call No. 6 wjtn your order for Both Claimants to Duvall's Crown Assume Control Eeads Will Be Lopped Off by Poli tical Ax When New Executive Steps on Throne. Indianapolis, Ind. With two more or less complete staffs claiming con trol, the official business of this city nearly 400,000 inhabitants was at a standstill Friday night. Action in the Marion country su preme court Saturday on an injunc tion suit is expected to clear the way either for Claude E. Negley or Ira H. Holmes to become mayor. Meanwhile, John L. Duvall, who announced his formal resignation as mayor Friday, spent his time raking reaves in his yard after the city council had pronounced the office vacant because of Duvall's conviction September 22, for violating the cor rupt practices act. The council nam ed Negley its president, as tempor ary mayor pending selection of a permanent mayor November 8. Takes Office, Resigns. When Duvall resigned his wife. Mrs. Maude E. Duvall. claimed tbe office by virtue of being city con troller and next in line. Fifteen min utes after taking oath of office she reyierned in favor cf Holmes, who had in the meantime been appointed ju city controller. . ; Negley got the jump on Holm'P: Friday .by obtaining a temporary or der restraining Ins opponent from at-jfj' tempting the city's business. Holmes h countered by sending iiis wife 6wn to the city hail in the e:irly hours, f". of the morning to hold down the of- j ficial chair. ' i Pj When Negley arrived he f ound ; f, Mrs. Holmes in the executive ofiice. M Nonpulsed, he stood around until Holmes appeared. Mis. Holmes then arose. The two claimants each drew up chairs at the executive desk. The doors opened and a crowd gathered to watch the performance. Joke Over Affair. Negley and Holmes joked about th& whole affair, addressing rich other as "mayor" and otherwise f r ing the situation funny. To many city employes, however, it was a grim event for, regardless of which man finally wins, a few heads are due to 4be lopped off by the political ax. Cotirty and fity Treasurer Edward A Ramsey brought diet r to some rm rdoyes when he announced he would honor salary warrants issued under the Negley "administration." Wholesale firing and appointments in various city department was the order of the day for both Neeley and Holmes. Each announced the make up of a boavd of safety, board of works and ctber departments. Has No Plans, Political observers saw in the back ground of the whole situation a re sumption of the fractional fight for control of the republican party in Marion county between the forces of George V. Coffin an 3 O. D. Dodsm. Leaving behind them all the tur moil of which they were at one time the principals, both Duvall and his wife spent the day cuiftly.
