Mendelssohn was born in 1809

he did not have poverty to contend
with. His father was a wealthy

He holds him tightly, he holds him

"The almost total absence of new

said H. G
Wellensiek, attorney and banker of
Harvard, Neb., addressing the Wav

Mr. Wellensiek declared that al
though there were 500 people in
church that morning, none of them
had come in an automobile or car
riage, everyone having walked ex
cept two men who had brought bi
cycles. The people are so poor, said Mr.
Wellensiek, that their farms averaged
from seven to ten acres in size, the
farm work being done with hand
tools, most of which are home made.
Wheat, averaging from forty to sixty
bushels to the acre is cradled and
bound by hand, and the field is care
fully gleaned after the cutting to
save the head3 of grain that had es
caped. After this, poultry is herd
ed on the field to pick the shattered
grains.
"Their farm buildings," said the
speaker, "are all under one roof. In
one part of the building lives the
family, on one side are the cows,
and on the other are the hogs and
chickens. In the mow above the

QUESTION OF
SELLING STATE
LANDS AGAIN UP
Old Issue, Often Debated, is Before
Legislature Million and a
Half Acres at Stake.
Senator Sturdevant of Holt coun
ty is said to have fallen heir to the
bill for the sale of state school lands.
He has introduced such a bill at this
session. It was one his democratic
predecessor, John Robinson of Joy,
Holt county, labored for In past ses
sions. The bill offered by Sturdevant
has some conditions surrounding the
proposed sale, but the main question
is whether or not the state shall keep
or sell its lands.
Mr. Studevant proposes to sell to
the highest bidder, but he would
limit the sale of farm or hay land
to 320 acres and 640 acres of graz
ing land to any person. This condi
tion is not considered important be
cause it is recognized that the state
cannot prevent the accumulation of
land by any individual in any
amount if he goes about it in the
right way after the land is contract
ed for or sold by the state.
His bill also fixes $7 an acre as
the minimum price. It was not
generally known, but the constitu
tional convention cut out the mini
mum price cf state land, and the
amendment was adopted by a vote
of the people. It was stricken out
when Junkin's amendment requiring
all state land to be sold at public
auction if it is to be sold, was passed.
State Land Withdrawn
The legislature of 1897 withdrew
all state land from sale. That act
still stands, but it does not affect
sale contracts then in existence.
There is still 196,869 acres of state
lands under sale contract. The pol
icy of the state board of educational
lands and funds in extending sale
contracts when this is deemed neces
sary', has kept many sale contracts
alive. Such contracts draw 5 per
cent on the principal.
The legislature of 1921 passed an
act to sell isolated and small irregu
lar tracts of state lands, but went no
further. Land Commissioner Dan
Swanson reports only a few small
tracts sold. He has made no spec
ial effort to sell these small tracts,
because he considers the market price
of land too low at this time.
"This is not the time to sell state
lands," said Commissioner Swanson
when informed of the provisions of
Senator Studevant's bill. This bill
would become effective July 1, 1923,
If it passes.

OBREGON ORDERS
PRIEST EXPELLED
FOR BREAKING LAW
Action is Eegarded as Move Against
Alleged Bcman Catholic Ag
gressiveness in Mexico.
Mexico City, Jan. 14. The execu
tive order issued Saturday night di
recting the expulsion from Mexico
within three days of Monsignor Er
nesto Filippi, the apostolic delegate
to Mexico, for participating In re
ligious ceremonies contrary to fed
eral law. was interpreted in many
quarters here today as President Ob
regon's first important move against
alleged Catholic aggressiveness.
The instructions contained in Ar
ticle 33 of the constitution are to be
applied to Monsignor Filippi, and he
must leave the republic within 72
hours. The officials at Guanajuato
described the apostolic delegate as
having been the head of huge out
door services near Silao on the occa
sion of the dedication of a monu
ment to Christ last Thursday. Al
though President Obregon on Satur
day told the newspaper correspond
ents that expulsion of the delegate
was possible, it was not believed the
drastic order would be issued. How
ever, the constitution is specific in
its prohibition of open air religious
processions or services. The presi
dent's order of expulsion is declared
to be supported ry the members of
the cabinet.
Laws Are Liberal
Senor de la Huerta, minister of
the treasury, said that Mexico's laws
were liberal as regards religion and
that their violation could not be over
looked by the government.
Churchmen in Mexico City insist
that there was no intentional viola
tion or any attempt to contravent the
Mexican laws on the part of Monsig
nor Filippi. They say the ceremonies
near Silao were held in private
ground and for private purposes.
On the other hand, the laying of
the cornerstone for the monument is
held by the government as having
been a direct and definite violation
of the federal laws. Inasmuch as
Monsignor Filippi is an Italian, he
and all other foreign clergymen con
nected with the ceremonies are to be
expelled as pernicious foreigners.
Hervey E. Smith and wife of Om
aha were guests here over night at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Wes
cott, departing this morning for
Weeping Water where they will
spend a short time.
