Says Sentence Was Not Valid New Question Is Raised In Case Brought From Otoe County. the With the appeal of Art Boyd from 'th 5 vear sentence recently imposed lirinri him bv District Judge James T. x 1 ;n nna ojmv nistnet Begley in the Otoe county District court, me supreme com i ua utxu called upon to consiuer a new pnse of the indeterminate sentence law. Boyd was convicted In 1924 on charge of entering and robbing a Missouri Pacific depot at Talmage. At that time he was sentenced to serve from 3 to 10 years in the peni- tentiary. lie nas served tne umu- mum sentence and recently his at torney, Dale P. Stough, instituted an action in which it was contended that the original sentence was voiu since Boyd was not eligible for an indeterminate sentence, i The law provides that .indeter minate sentences may only be given to first offenders. It wras pointed out to the District court that Ecyd had previously served time in Iowa and was therefore a second offender. District Judge Begley admitted the error in tne original sentence nux instead of releasing Boyd, he pro nounced a new flat sentence of five . years. It is from this sentence that an appeal has been taken. A rather similar question was re cently brought up in a habeas cor pus action in which the same conten tion was made, the applicant having been given an indeterminate sentence when in reality he was a second of fender. That action was begun by another prisoner, but Stough was also his attorney. Judge Begley in his ruling in the Boyd case said that there had been no evidence presented prior to the previous sentence which could have acquainted him with the fact that Boyd had been a previous offender. WE ALWAYS KNOW WHERE TO FIND JOHN H. M0REHEAD John H. Morehead. has been serv ing the people of the state and of the First District for many years. He has served them well and faithfully. As governor of the State of Nebras ka, he conducted this oiiice in a strictly business-like manner and with economy to the people whom he served. He is a successful business man, and believes in, conducting governmental offices in a business like way and with the same economy that a good business man conducts his business. As congressman there has never been a time that the voters of his district did not know where to find him on the issues that came be fore Congress. He supported every measure that meant for the good of the district he represented and be cause of this fact the people have learned to trust him and know that he is sincere and stands at all times for the benefit of the people whom he represents. He has always been present at every roll call, and has never sidestepped any important duty or any measure, believing that his time belongs to the people by whose votes he was given this trust. Mr. Morehead is the kind of a man that the people want to represent them and the people of the First Dis trict can do no better than to see to it that he is returned to Congress from the First District as he has al ways represented them strongly and ably. Mr. Morehead has often addressed the people of Elmwood and commun ity and they know how he stands on the important issues. No doubt a.- has always been hia custom the vo ters will have an opportunity to hear him as the campaign progresses. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Erosion is Halted by Dams By Strategic Use cf Brush and Wire Ilany Farmers Are Able to Save Valuable Acres fou erosion is a nig prohicm i:i the rolling land of the state. When ditches fcegin ' t'd" form In a field, the trouble begins. Not only is much fertile soil washed away but many pieces ot machinery are broken r-r much time is lost in farming small irregular patches. "Dam the gulleys," is a good sug gestion before the machinery i broken, not afterward. Brush dam? have been successfully used by many farmers of the state who have con strutted them according to sugges tions of the agricultural college en gineers. Three inch hedge posts driven far into the ground about eighteen inches apart across a ditch up to three feet in depth will generally serve ,is the anchor of the dam. fnrs posts should be set in larger ditches. Brush should be piled i:i the ditch upstream and hookej around or tied to the anchor posts. A man should tramp the brush down a.-? it is piled in and every effort should he used to make the brush firm and tight. Another important point is thai the center of the dam is left lowe:1 than the side:-;. This is to let. th.? water spill over t he middle of th dam instead of washing- a tipw ditch around "the sides. Two cross piece? wired securely to the posts .should hold the brush in place and down in the center. Such a dam only checks the rush of the water and causes it to drop a large part of the soil it is carry ing. As dams fill up the ditche: above them, new dams nicy be put in to completely fill the ditch. Stopp ing small ditches will prevent many of the larger ones from forming. DIVORCES SHOW INCREASE Tho reports of the marriages and divorces in the state of Nebraska foi the year 1927, released in the report of the department of commerce of the U. S. government, shows a very large percentage of increase in the divorces that were granted in the state as against the marriages. In the marriages in the state there were 9.S00 marriages performed in tho state in 1927 as against 9.C22 in 1926 representing an increase of 138 or 1.4 percent. During the past year there were 1.G20 divorces granted in the stale as compared with 1,395 in 1926. re presenting an increase of 225 or a percentage of gain of 16.1 percent There were 57 marriages annulled in 1927 as against 39 in 1926. The estimate population of the state of Nebraska on July 1, 1927, was 1.396,000, and on July 1, 1926 1.385.000. On the basis of those es timates, the number of marriages per 1,000 of the population was 7.02 in 1927, as against 6.93 in 1926: and the number of divorces per 1.000 of this population was 1.1G in 1927, as against x.vi in l'JZb. i ne numoer ! or marriages annulled per l.uuu ot the population was 0.011 In 1927, as compared with 0.02S in 1926.

Control j of Battle Zone Three Field Batteries Shell City; Heavy Slaughter Is Believed to Have Resulted. Shanghai. May 11. Japanese sol diers had cleared the last nationalist forces from Tsinan, capital of Shan tung province, Thursday night, and were in complete control of the city in the attempted capture of which the southerners bad expended the en tire force of their drive toward Pekin. Reports of casualties involved in the expulsion of the southerners from the city are indefinite, but loss of life is believed to be heavy for both Japanese and Chinese with the probability that many Tsinan civil ians will be numbered among the dead. Three field batteeries which the Japs had placed in the foreign set tlement, one near the American con sulate, started to shell the city with sharpnel early in the day. Most of the population of 400,000 were caught unawares, and a heavy slaughter is believed to have resulted. Five Americans Remain. Resistance by the nationalists in the main amounted to no more than sniping, although occasionally small hands put up desperate fights to avoid disarming and expulsion from the city by the Japanese. According to nationalist reports to this? city the Japanese row have com plete control not only of Tsinan, but cf the entire: Shantung railway, and the south end of the bridge across the Yellow liver, and the city of Kotieu, situated 3 5 miles east of Tsinan. So far as is known only five Am ericans remained Thursday night at Tainan. Th se included the two Am erican consuls Edwin F. Stanton and Ernest B. Price of Foorchow. Drastic Measures. The Japanese papers at Tsing-Tao published the military proclamation of General Fukuda, issued on the expiration of the ultimatum to the nationalists on May 8., in which he stated his regret at inability to ar range a pacific settlement of differ ences. It concludes: "In view of th belli gerent attitude of the nationalist sol diers and in order to maintain the prestige of the Japanese empire. I intend to take drastic measures against the southerners and to pun ish the troops who have committed the outrages against the Japanese." In Shanghai an increasing anti foreign sentiment among the Chinese could be sensed and such were its manifestations that it was regarded as unwise for any foreigners to risk entering Chinese territory. Japanese marines were patroling the Japanese section of the foreign city. Omaha Bee-News. IOWA CHOP REPORT IS GENERALLY FAVORABLE Des Moines. la., May 0.
