Plans for the extension of the city
limits of South Sioux City so as to
include the railroad bridge and thV
new Burlington shops were left in
balance last night at the meeting of
the city council. Resolutions were
passed favoring the plan because of
the added income it would bring to
the city, but no definate action was
taken, according to Henry Crane, a
member of the council. A resolution
was passed requesting the Sioux
City Service company to move the
switch on the street car line now
placed between Eighth and Ninth
streets, a, block further up, so as to
relieve the congestion at that point
and also to give better service.
Sioux City Journal, 9th; Nadine
V. Shepardson and Olive A. Learner,
of Homer, Neb., visited in Sioux
City yesterday A search of the
premises of William Robertson in
South Sioux City yesterday after
noon resulted in the seizing of a
largo quantity of home canned goods
and tools alleged to have been stolon
from the home of W. M. Duckson.
Robertson was arrested in Sioux
City and turned over to Sheriff
George Cain, of Dakota county.
The goods seized by tho sheriff in
cluded many cans of preserves and
canned fruits and vegetables 'which
had been stored in tho tho basement
of the Duckson home. It is believed
that they were stolen last month
while the Duckson family was visit
ing at Storm Lake. The goods were
identified yesterday by Mr. Duck
son. Robertson and his wife, who
was arrested wnen the Beizuro was
made, will be arraigned for prelimi
nary hearing today before Judge S.
W. McKinley, of Dakota City. Rob
ertson is employed as a driver by
the Dougherty & Bryant Storage
company, of Sioux City ... . Mrs. Ma
rie Herman yesterday was granted
an absolute divorce from her hus
aby Bonds
band, Fred Herman, wealthy Dako
ta county, JNeb., tarmer, by Judge
Guy T. Graves at Dakota City. Mrs.
Herman, who alleged cruelty and
asked for a division of the estate es
timated as worth $100,000 and the
custody of their 15-year-old daugh
ter, Helen Herman, was allowed
$15,000 alimony, and she was given
the child. The sensation of the
trial, which had been in progress
for the past two days, was sprung
yesterday morning when Mr. Her-
.man'took the witness stand and de
clared that Charley Sierk, of Sioux
City, his wife's brother-in-law, was
interested in the case. Ho said Mr:
Sierk insisted on paying his atten
tions to his wife, in spite of his pro-
testa tioas. He asserted, also, that
his wife's relatives were conspiring
to rob him of his property. A half
dozen other witnesses testified du
ring the afternoon, but none of them
had anything to say concerning the
alleged intimacy of Mrs. Herma'n
and her brother-in-law. All of the
evidence produced after Mr. Her
man abandoned (lie stand related to
valuation of the estate.
Farm Notes.
Issued by the University of Nebraska
College of Agriculture.
LAST CALL FOR SEED CORN
This is probably the last appeal
that the state council of defense,
agrictltural college, or other author
ities will make to urge farmers to
secure their supply of seed corn.
At the present tipie the state coun
cil of defense is maintaining an em
bargo preventing the shipping of Ne
braska seed corn outside of the state.
So many appeals have come from
other states, however, asking for as
sistance in meeting the seed corn sit
uation that it seems probable that
the embargo will have to be lifted
soon. But before this is done, the
agricultural college and the state
council of defense want to make
sure that there is an adequate
supply for Nebraska's own
needs. There remain just a few
days for every farmer to make sure
that he has a sufficient supply. In
case he has not yet secured enough
seed corn, or in case he has not the
supply tested, he should call on his
county agent, the college of agricul
ture or the state council of defense
at once.
EXEMPTION OF FARM LABORERS
Under the selective draft rules lo
cal boards make clasifications only
on the basis of dependents, and then
recommend deferred clasifications on
tho basis of skill in farming. The
actual classification of skilled farm
laborers is left to the district boards.
A skilled farm laborer is a man
skilled in the ordinary work of the
farm, and need not bo a college grad
uate. The assistant secretary of ag
riculture recently pointed out that
it was up to the people in each com
munity to make proper representa
tions to the district boards when it
is desired to have farm laborers ex
empted. BEAN GROWERS MUST HURRY
To date tho food administration
has received contracts from growers
for less than 15.000,000 pounds of
ninto beans. This is far below the
resnonso that was anticipated when
it was announced that the food ad
ministration would find a market for
the beans and take the entire output
at eight cents a pound. Unless sign
ed contracts from growers are iro
ceived for several times this amount
of beans within the next few days
the plan will not be successful, and
growers and shippers will lose the
benefit of the food administration
publicity and introductory campaign
for pinto beans. The beans have
proved a splendid crop for western
Nebraska and success indisposing of
tho present crop means much to the
developing of the industry in that
section. Growers should got con
tracts at once from their county
agents or send to tho Bean Section,
U. S. Foood Administration, Denver,
Colo.
