    ASSERTED WILL
WAS ARBITRARY
Mortgage Holder Seekr
Payment Though Instru
ment Gave Instructions
LINCOLN, NEB. — Attorneys f:
the Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance company tells the supreme
court, in a printed argument Just
filed in support of a Stanton coun
ty district court decree that their
$12,500 mortgage Is valid, that the
other party to the action, John Hilli
ard Peters, is attempting the im
possible of trying to have his cake
after he had eaten it.
In the will of his father, John
Peters, who died in 1915, there was
a provision that none of the land
left to his children should be sold
for 10 years. John Hilliard, however
got tangled financially, and at one
time owed the Stanton National
bank in excess of $36,000. The bank
pressed for payment, and he gave a
mortgage on the 200 acres he had
inherited and upon which he lived
Later, in settlement of all claims
back and forth, he deeded the land
to Andrew Spence, president of the
bank, who borrowed the $12,500 rep
resented by the mortgage of the life
insurance company, and later sold
the land to William F. Schulz, now
in possession, for $40,000.
Now comes Peters and asks for a
finding that he is the owner of the
title because during the time all of
these transactions occurred, which
Included his deed to the bank, the
title could not be alienated because
of the provision in the will of his
father. Hence he had not conveyed
any fee simple title, and the mort
gage was given by a person without
any title to the land.
Attorneys for the insurance com
l>any say that while the courts per
mit reasonable restraint on aliena
tion of a life estate, but it must be
for a reasonable time and for a good
reason. A court will not, they say, be
put in the position of recognizing
whims and hobbies as reasonable
and thus be required to determine
whether the time the whim is to en
dure is reasonable. A reasonable
period, they say, must have some
ihmg by which to be measured, a.'
until a drunkard reforms, until a
flapper daughter gets married, oi
until a sppnd thrift reaches a cer
tain age. No reason is given in the
will why the land should not be sold
for 10 years, and being arbitrary it
is against public policy and unen
forclble, they argue.

TRAIN, BUT NOT KIDNAPED
ALLIANCE — (Special) — Mrs.
Hugh Brown of Miles City, Mont.,
had a bad half hour here when she
thought her red-hatred, freckle
faced son. 11 years old, had been
kidnaped from the train. With the
boy and baby, 1 >i years old, she was
on her way to Lincoln.
The train halted here and the lad
climbed out. When It was time for
the train to start, the boy could not
be found. She feared he had headed

boy spread over the city, as rail
road officials and employes hunted
for him.
The train then left and Mrs
Brown remained. Fifteen minutes
later two small boys ran into the

was walking down the street. He
was unconcerned over the excite
ment he had caused by his disap
pearance.

PAYS 40-YEAR OLD DEBT
AND ACCUMULATED INTEREST
AURORA—A debt 40 years old,
Incurred for a spool of barbed wire,
was recently paid to R. L. Laurie,
then one of the Laurie brothers
hardware store.
The debt was one by a Menonite
farmer. He was then worried by
debts, lor most of which his lather
had gone as security.
For the barbed wire, $6.35, he gave
a note without security. Hard
pressed by other obligations, he did
not pay. and the debt was outlawed.
Later he did other business with
Laurie, but the barbed wire debt re
mained nearly forgotten and un
paid.
A few days ago the farmer spoke
to Laurie, and asked if the old note
was still In existence. Laurie said
the amount was $6.35, though he
thought he could find the note.
Toews insisted on paying Interest,
and Laurie figured it at 6 per cent
simple interest, and the old note
was settled for $21.15.
Laurie Is now 65 years old. The
farmer is 70.
COMBAT HORDES
OF ARMY WORMS
Farmers of Thurston Coun
ty Successful in Battling
Pests
WALT HILL, NEB—(Special)—
Army worms, millions of them, at
tacked fields of small grain and
corn In different parts of the coun
ty last week. For a while it looked
as though destruction by the invad
ing hosts would be complete. All of
the damage done was in the dis
tricts that had been hit by hail dur
ing June. Some fields of oats were
completely taken but the corn was
only slightly damaged.
Three methods of combat were
used by the farmers. Poison bait
along the line of march of the pests
proved quite effective Plowing of
a furrow with the soil thrown to
ward the oncoming worms proved
to be very effective. The army
would fall into the furrow and would
be unable to climb the steel wall
left by the coulter wheel. When the
furrow became well filled with
worms a log was dragged through
it to crush the worms. Spraying
grass and foliage along the line of
march with arsenate of lead proved
to be partially effective.
Hot weather played an Important
role in checking the advance of the
army and by Friday evening the
county agent and O. 8. Bare, en
tomologist from the college of agri
culture discovered an insect enemy
of the worm present in great num
bers. When this parasite was found
the men concluded that the battle
was over and that the army worm
was going to come out of the battle
second best.
The parasite is called “Wlnthemla
quadripustulata” but in spite of its
name it is much feared by the army
wormc.
Army worms have been damaging
crops in Cumming. Pierce and
Thurston counties in Nebraska and
in several northwestern Iowa coun
ties. There Is no record of army
worms working in the same neigh
borhood two years in succession.
LIFE INSURANCE MAN
TURNS DOWN STATE JOB
LINCOLN—M. L. Palmer, Lincoln
life Insurance general agent, from
whom a reluctant consent to allow
his name to be submitted as a can
didate for state Insurance commis
sioner was wrung by a group of rep
resentative insurance men, has writ
ten the governor that under no cir
cumstances will he accept the place.
The governor had asked him if he
would take It, and he had said that
he would. This was a month ago,
and all efforts of insurance men to
induce the governor to act since then
have been truitless. Mr. Palmer, who
was taking a Job that pays less than
his general agency, discovered that
the mutuals and a group of compan
ies who are charged by competitors
wUh unfair practices wore bringing
pressure to bear on the governor not
to name him, and he promptly wrote
the governor that If he felt any re
sponsibility for the half offer made
him that he could consider him
self free to name anybody he
wanted.
In the letter he said that suffi
cient time has elapsed for consid
eration of his name, and he wanted
to withdraw any inference that he
would accept even £ tendered the
position now.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
The Courage of Faith
Text: Daniel 6:10. 11, 16-23
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into
his home; and, his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusa
lem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave
thanks before his Gcd, as he did aforetime.
Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making
supplication before his God.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him
into the den of liens. Now the king spake andsaid unto Daniel, Thy
Gcd whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
And stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth at the den; and
the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signature of his
lords, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting;
neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep
went from him.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto
the dens of liens.
And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice un
to Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of
the living Gcd. is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliv
er thee lrom the lions?
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the Hons’ mouths, that
they have not hurt me: foreasmuch as before him innocency was found
in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that
they should take Danel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out
of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he be
lieved in his God.

The Courage of Faith. Daniel 6:11),
11, 16-23.
BV WM. E. GILROY, D. D.
Editor of The t'ongrr(rationalist.
What we have heretofore said
concerning the Book of Daihel ap
plies, also, to this lesson. Whether
the book be an apocalypse like the
Book of Revelations, or a transcript
of literal history, the character of
the man who stands forth in these
pages and in this incident is clear.
Daniel is the type of man who
knows no fear where duty is in
volved.
So far as actual life Is concerned
It was never, perhaps, altogether a
right teaching that the arm who
does right will never suffo for It,
or will always be miraculously de
livered from the persecutions of his
enemies even though his danger be
that of a den of lions. The New
Testament at some points, especial
ly in its story of Jesus Christ, cor
rects some of the philosophies that
have been too readily based upon
the prosperity and happiness of
those who follow the way of truth.
The story of Calvary reminds us
that there are real crosses in life
and that there is such a thing as
suffering for conscience sake.
Willing to Suffer
The real point about this story
is not Daniels deliverance, but
Daniel’s willingness to suffer and
die, if need be. for the sake of his
conscience. On the whole it is
amazing in life what deliverance
comes to such men. Sometimes the
cross which they are willing to bear
is spared them, but there would be
no meaning in the deliverance if
Daniel had been fearful of the re
sult or had hesitated for a moment
in the performance of his duty.
The teaching of the New Testa
ment re-enforced by the experi
ence of Jesus and the experience
of has early disciples is that, no
matter what befalls a man, God i?
with him and right is triumphant.
Here in the lesson we have set
before us the things that may sus
tain a man in his purpose to do
right and in his attitude of courage.
Daniel’s life was founded in real re
ligion. He found a helpful disc.p
line in prayer and in the reverence
for sacred things. His windows
were open toward Jerusalem—that
is, there was the love of spiritual
Zion in his soul.
A man cannot ever rise very high
In whose soul there is no sense of
holiness. Nor did Daniel merely
kneel in the prayer of petition and
reouest. Like Paul at a later tune,
he'mingled thanksgiving with pray
er. There is strength in the man
who can alwavs find something in
life for which to be thankful.
This religious faith and attitude
lifted Daniel above convention and
in a sense above law. It is one
thing to b? lawless and quite an
other thing to live above law. Dan
iel dared to disobey a command
that impinged upon hi;, religion; but

his religion led him to practice the
sort of life that could not be de
scribed as lawless.
There are many people who do
not make that distinction today.
It is one thing to disobey a law
simply because one does not hap
pen to like it, and altogether an
other thing to live a life of such
holiness in relationship to God and
man that one’s course of conduct
cannot in any way injure another.
There will never be much danger to
society from men who disobey a law
for conscience sake if they have the
same sort of conscience that Daniel
had.
The King’s Weakness
Perhaps one of the most interest
ing portions of the lesson is in the
reference to the king. He appears
before us as anxious for the safety
of Daniel and with a sort of faith
that Daniel’s God will deliver him,
and yet he had been weak and un
holy enough to allow Daniel to be
cast to the lions. Is not that some
what like men and women who are
always hoping that God will bring
things out differently from their
own plan?
In reality the king ttiaads before
us as a despicable fellow, well dis
posed toward Daniel and hopeful
for his safety, but utterly lacking
in the courage that Daniel had for
himself and therefore unwilling to
risk anything for the safety of the
youthful hero. Here also is that ele
ment of contrast to which we have
referred. We take our stand in the
modern world with the weakness of
the king or with the strength and
resourcefulness of Daniel. It is rauen
better to be Daniel than to be ruler
of an empire. “He that ruleth his
own soul is better than he that tak
eth a city.”

Sparkler on Customer’s
Finger and G^t It
OMAHA, NEB. — (UP) — Mrj.
Kathleen Randolph, pretty waitress,

FRANCHISE TAX
IS BIG QUESTION
Public Utilities in Nebraska
Seek to Evade Law
Fixing Values
LINCOLN, NEB — (UP) —While
the state board of equalization Wed
nesday was hearing protests of utili
ties to the proposal to collect a
franchise tax, Attorney General C.
A. Sorensen In an opinion given
Governor Arthur Weaver, declared
the board has power to levy such a
tax.
Although the law providing for
the taxation of franchise value of
companies engaged in street rail
ways, water works, electric lights,
gas works, natural gas. mining, ex
press, telegraph, telephone business
in the state, was passed in 1921, it
appears that only the Western
Union Telegraph company and the
express company have paid the
franchise tax, Sorensen said.
The attorney general expressed
the opinion that millions of dollars
wmrth of franchise values of power
and telephone companies had ap
parently escaped taxation.
The hearing was partly che re
sult of the request of companies
which had stated that if the board
fixed franchise values, they desired
a hearing on the amount and meth
od of arriving at franchise values.
Thorne A. Browne, of Lincoln, was
at the meeting to represent John F.
Cordeal, of McCook, a representa
tive of the Nebraska Light and Pow
er company, of McCook, who said
the notice of the meeting reached
him too late to permit his coming
to Lincoln.
Among other companies represent
ed were the Central Power company
of Grand Island, represented by
William Suhr; the Nebraska Power
company, of Omaha, by Roy Page;
the Iowa-Nebraska Power company,
of Lincoln, by George A. Lee.

TO ORGANIZE FIGHT
ON M. W. A. RATES
BEATRICE — (UP) — The next
step in the fight to prevent the
Modern Woodmen of America in
creasing rates to members as
planned by the head camp in Chi

state wide conventions, it is pointed
out here.
Conventions are to be held in
about a dozen states and it is ex*
pected that resolutions will be
adopted at each of these, backing
the Beatrice camp in its fight, it

is scheduled for August 7 at Des
Mo nes, to be followed immediately
by a Kansas convention at Topeka.
Later, a convention will be called
for Illinois camps, to be held prob
ably at Walnut. Similar meetings
are being planned to Missouri, Wis
consin, Minnesota and South Da
kota.
Plans for these conventions are
being worked out by O. B. Hatch of
Lincoln and several others in the
employ of the Beatrice camp. It is
their purpose to have ertry state
form an organization to function
under the direction of the Beatrice
committees.
The Woodman office here re
ceives large stacks of mail daily,
many letters containing money con
tributions to the fight and others
assuring moral support. Illinois, es
pecially, is enthusiastic in its sup
port.
