Hold Annual Meeting.
The Farmer's Elevator company
held their annual meeting a week
ago and elected a set of officers, with
one exception, the same that they
have had before. The inability of
the Missouri Pacific railroad on
whos tracks the elevator is located,
to furnish cars when needed, had
worked to the detriment of the busi
ness, and while all was dory? that
could be by the manager, the grain
could not be handled. As a result
there was a loss to the company dur
ing the past year. The following
have been selected as the officers for
the ensuing year: Henry Creamer,
president; C. D. Spang!er vice pres
ident; W. H. Puis, secretary; Charles
Herron. treasurer, and Fred Lutz,
C. R. Troop and W. G. Minford, the
board of directors.

arrangements from what has hereto
fore prevailed, the gentlemen from
Murray did not make a proposition.

MAY BE FIGHT ON
SCHOOL LAND SALE
Governor's Recommendation That
They Behold Will Meet
With Opposition.
Lincoln. Neb.. Jan. 9. Nebraska's
school lands, that part of the state
area set aside by the fathers to in
rare the education of their children,
and which have been kept sacredly
for that purpose ever since, may
prove the source of much strife dur
ng the coming week in the legisla
ture. Governor McKelvie has recom
mended that the school lands be told
and the proceeds invested in good se
curities to provide a fund from which
leans may be made to veterans of the
war to enable them to build homes
and establish themselves on home
steads. The state school lands arc
valued t over $25,000,00. It is con
tended by the governor that these
lands ar not now bringing in any
thing like the revenue they should
and would if the money, which could
be realized from their sale, were in
vested in gooel securities or farm or
home mortgages.
Many of the legislators are of the
same opinion.
But as the argument pro and con
goes at present, it looks as though
the proposition would not get suS
?ient approval to get by. Those who
oppose the measure are of the opin
ion that the school lands are sacred
property, t hat they represent the per
manent safeguard of the state
against illiteracy and that the pro
vision of the founders of the state
ought not to be interfered with.
They contcn dthat if the revenues
are not what they ought to be, the
appraisal values of the lands tshculd
be raised so that they will make a
proper return.
There is at present a fund of
$11,000,000 of school funds, the pro
ceeds of former sales of the land, in
the state treasury invested in bonds.
Even the loan of this fund, which
the governejr would like to negotiate,
is strongly opposed by many on the
ground that it would be inadvisable
to loan the state's money on any se
curity less sound than that which
any bank would require.
There will, in all probability, be
no distinct factional line in the pres
ent legislature. There will be no
such thing as McKelvIeism or anti
McKelvieism. strictly denned. There
are so many problems before the
body or about to come before it of
such a variety in character as to pre
clude the idea of any straight align
ment. There will be plenty of bat
tles, there will be pulling and tug
ging and scheming and plotting, but
the enemies of today will become
friends of tomorrow as new matters
come up for discussion.
George M. Hild and Frank Val
lery, the land agents, were among
those goiag to Oraaha this morning
to visit for the day attending to
some business matters if importance.
HARDING A SPONSOR
OF EFFICIENT NAVY
Leans to Fleet Construction Until a
Binding Disarmament Agreement
Can Be Eeached.
Marion. O., Jan. 8. A naval pol
icy to keep the United States one
of the strongest sea powers until a
binding disarmament agreement can
be reached, was discussed at a con
ference today between President
elect Harding and Representative
Butler of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the house naval committee. It was
indicated that although a final de
cision must await developments, the
attitude of Senator Harding pointed
tO a continuation of the fleet con
structor program not in progress.
Coupled with this program, bowevr,
would be a material curtailment in
civilian employes of the navy ie
partment and various economies in
the land situation under navy juris
diction. Mr. Harding long has fav
ored an efficient navy and he is un
derstood to feel a, big navy policy
might be continued practically if
steps are taken to curtail the
strength of the army along the lines
he approved yesterday in conference
with Chairman Kahn of the house
military committee.
He also favors strongly the re
serve system for both army and navy,
and is understood to have indicated
to Chairman Butler an adequate na
val reserve should be considered a
requisite to national defense.
The question of the navy hinges,
on what progress may be found pos
sible in the movement for a general
reduction of world armament. Mr.
Butler, who is inclined to place little
faith in the proposal, expects to de
velop in committee hearings next

"I am determined to know," h j
said in a statement, "what other na
