t __ Farmers Not in Debt, Survey by J ' U. S. Bank Shows More Than Half of “Typical Section” Free of Encum brance — Discounts Propaganda. Farm lands in the mlddleweet are not heavily encumbered with debt, a survey of 80 sections of land In a typical mldwestern farming district Juet completed by the Federal Land bank of Omaha proves, and discounts i political propaganda which recently -has lamented the dire financial straits lrtto which the farmer waa supposed to have fallen. For the purpose of getting at the facta as to the average mortgage In debtedness of farms in the district served by the Federal Land bank of Omaha, its investigators chose *0 sections of land surrounding Palmer, in Pocahontas county, Iowa. The only reason for picking this particu lar district Is that It is typical in value and farm operations to the middle western farming section in which the bank transacts most of Its business. This land Is valued at $200 an acre. As a result of the survey the bank reports that 68.3 per cent of this 80 sections is free from debt. Of the remaining 41.7 per cent of the 61,200 acres but 6.6 per cent are encumbered more than $100 an acre, 10.6 per cent carry a debt of $100 or less an acre; 13 per cent are encumbered for $76 an acre or less, and 12.6 per cent for $60 an acre or less. The survey further substantiates the opinion of economists and finan cial experts that whatever difficulties the farmer may have suffered, the remedy Is in his own hands, and that agriculture of the mlddlewest Is work ing out Its own solution to the prob lem without interference from the administration of any so-called politi cal "cure-alls.” McCook Clansmen Parade; Large Class Initiated Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

Blue-jay O BAB itlt Husband Charges Wife Threw Dirt on His First Mate’s Grave Hans Sieck of Millard, middle-aged, acted ag hla own lawyer In the eult of hi* wife, Johanna Sieck, for di vorce, heard Friday In domestic rela tions court. Mrs. Sleek said that soon after their marriage In 1919 he told her she had only "half a set of brains." She said he spent_ $6,000 of her money, never earned a dollar for her, left her, saying he didn’t want to live with her. She said she was afraid of him. Sleek had several buky objects In his pockets and Judge Day ordered a deputy sheriff to search him. They proved not to be dangeous weapons, but only pocketbooks full of papers which Sleek said were "his wit nesses.” "Ask her,” said Sleek on cross-ex amlnatlon, "whether ehe was afraid of me the time ahe broke In a window In the Blackstone hotel in Millard and piled In on top of me In the folding bed and grabbed my fur coat and run. Ask her." Mrs. Sleek denied that she ever did any such thing. Mr. Sleek’s progress as an attor ney was rapid. He soon learned to cry "I object" at certain questions of his wife’s attorney. He summoned Bailiff Brown and ordered a glass of water brought to him, which was done. He testified that Mrs. Sleek “threw dirt on my first wife’s grave.” "Do you want to live with this wo man again?” asked the judge. "Under no circumstances,” said Sleek. "I would get whipped every day.” Two Couples Celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary Norfolk, Neb., July 25.—Mr. and Mrs. James L.

A man, found guilty of assault with intent to wound, has pinned his hopes of freedom on the success of the appeal. Under the constitution of Nebraska no woman may serve as a Juror. Un der the constitution of the United States a woman may serve in any ca pacity on a Jury. Steve Boras was tried and con victed in Judge Charlee Leslie's court for shooting and wounding W. L. Tin dell. The Jury which heard the evi dence was composed entirely of men. Attorneys John O. Teiser, ar., John O. Teiser, Jr., Joseph Lovely and Lawrence Fredrickson appealed the case on this ground. They contend that the defendant was not given a fair trial since the federal constitu tion definitely declares "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The right to vote, the attorneys point out, carries with it the right to serve on any Jury for which one *s fitted. The Jury commissioner, the attorneys declare, purposely struck the names of all women from the Jury panel for that term of court under the state statute. “The Jury commissioner in leaving women off the list of 3,000 names, purposely discriminated against, fez because of past servitude and prdfc tlces of subordlntlon,” says the ap peal.” The 19th, loth and 14th amend ments to the constitution of the United States are cited as grounds for the appeal. Should the appeal be upheld the women of Nebraska will be called on for service on Juries and the sections of the constitution and statutes of the state which now govern Jury duty will have to be changed.

Another Fight in Chicago Court Means Jail Cell Judge Threatens to Incarcer ate Belligerent Attorneys If Last Week's Battle Repeated. Chicago, July 25—If-there's any more fighting In Judge John J. Sulli van's courtroom both—or all—par ticipant* will go to Jail. The great Saal divorce ault le still on. It was during a session last week when 100 pound Attorney Charles Erbstein won the heavyweight championship of the court when he blammed 200-pound Attorney Albert Fink on the nose.

Roberta, erstwhile friend of Saal and now a witness for Violet Fiel Saal. 23. was testifying today, Erbstein suddenly asked: "Did you say you knocked a quart of blood from my nose?" "I did,” replied Roberts, "and will yet.” as he half started from his chair. Roberts is a big man. Erb stein Jumped to his feet. "When?" belligerently retorted the pugnacious attorney. "Another fight in this court, and the participants will go to Jail.” thun dered Judge Sullivan. It was the usual day's thrill. Quiet reigned thereafter. Roads in Good Condition. York, Neb..
