United States Commis sioner Mary Mullen promised a de cision within a week, following argu ments in a test case seeking to es tablish constitutionality of the $1,000 federal excise tax as applied to li quor dealers in a dry state. John Mullen, attorney for E. E. Barker, Omaha whisky retailer, cited a recent opinion of federal circuit court in New Orleans in support of his contention that the excise tax provision died with -repeal of the eighteenth amendment. More than 100 Omaha sellers of hard liquor ar rested in governmental raids will be affected by the decision. Mullen asked for dismissal in view of the New Orleans high court ruling that the tax is not a tax at all, but a penalty, and that its en forcement is not uniform. Fred Hawxby, assistant United States attorney, asserted Federal Judge Donohoe recently ruled in fa vor of the government in a some what similar case, setting the pre cedent as far as Nebraska federal jurisdiction is concerned. Should the decision favor Barker, it may mean a loss to the govern ment of several hundred thousand dollars in Omaha alone, federal raid ers estimating there 'are now 300 persons selling liquor here. TOLD TO RECALL RANGERS Corpus Christi, Tex. The mayor, district attorney and sheriff here wired Adjutant General Nesbitt there would be bloodshed here Tuesday if Nesbitt did not recall Texas rangers who are investigating absentee vot ing. Corpus Christi will hold a city election Tuesday. AND VEGTMKl A small fire and a strong wind may cause a lot of trouble and a heavy loss!

Nebraska farmers who atttend the twenty-third annual feeders day at the college of agriculture April 18 are going to hear a number of out state speakers and be able to view more than 150 head of experiment cattle, says Prof. R. R. Thalman. With livestock feeding conditions largely unsettled in many areas, due to lack of roughage, experimental tests on varying rations are bound to attract particular attention. The animals will be on exhibition and experiment station workers will describe in detail the results of the tests. A test comparing dry lot against grass fattening is expected to attract the most attention, as a great in crease on fattening while on grass is probable in Nebraska during the coming months, especially in sections where roughages are lacking. W. W. Derrick, extension animal husbandry- man at the college, will summarize experimental work done at the Ne braska-station and other stations in the midwest. Three years work has been completed here. Prof. M. A. Alexander of the ani mal husbandry department is to dis cuss some new feeding methods for sheep. A comparison of cottonseed cake, tankage and meat scraps for lambs as protein supplements is in cluded in one test. In another, straw and alfalfa are compared as rough ages for sheep. .Another test where six- lots of steer calves, heifer calves and year ling heifers have been fed varying rations will also be discussed by Professor Thalman. On test 150 days, the experiment will show how heif ers and steers do on a limited corn ration with silage and cottonseed cake as supplements. Three lots of steer calves are in eluded in the test. All received a, full feed of silage. The first lot was fed one pound of cottonseed cake while the second received three fourth of a pound of tankage and the third one pound of commercial cubes daily. The two lots of heifer calves were fed silage. One received one pound of cottonseed cake in addition while the second was fed five pounds of corn and one pound of cake. One lot of yearling heifers received silage, seven pounds of corn and one pound of cake while the second got silage and only one pound of cake daily. The silage fed in all lots contained no corn. Another experiment, recently com pleted, concerns two lots of yearling steers given straw as a substitute for alfalfa in the fattening ration. Both lots were on full feed with one and one-half pounds of cake and some limestone. The first lot, however, re ceived in addition as roughage half alfalfa and half wheat straw. The second was fed only wheat straw. Low Interest Rates Offered to Agriculture Alvo National Parm Loan Associa tion Announces Lowest Rates in Many Years. The lowest interest rate ever of fered agriculture on mortgage credit is now available to farmers obtaining Federal Land bank loans through the Alvo National Farm Loan association of Alvo, Nebraska, according to Carl D. Ganz, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Ganz has just been notified of the permanent reduction of the in terest rate from 5 to 4 per cent, effective on all land bank loans closed after April 1. Informing the secretary-treasurer of the new permanent rate, D. P. Hogan, president of the Federal Land Bank of Omaha, declared: "As in the past, the Federal Land banks again have taken the lead in reducing interest charges. This new rate marks a milestone in the pro gress farmers are making by conduct ing their credit affairs cooperatively The reduction will mean a saving of thousands of dollars to the land bank's future borrowers In your com munity." Commissioner loans, also made by the land bank on either first or sec ond mortgage security, will continue to bear 5 per cent interest.

Moeur denied he ever intended to send an "ambas sador" from Arizona to Washington. "There has been a lot of capital made out of it without any ground to stand on," he asserted. "All of these moves are belittling Arizona in the eyes of the federal government and I fear it will impair our relief status. It wasn't my idea but the plea of various interests in the state who requested me for representation in Washington when matters affect ing Arizona come up." He expressed resentment of the name "ambassador," declaring it was tagged on a bill by the legislators in providing $7,500 for a representa tive to the national capital.
