"If we want to turn Nebraska in to an experiment station, Norris would be the man to vote for," said Representative E. P. Bailey of Car leton, Thayer county, one of the floor leaders of the republican majority in the recent legislature who visited the cnpitol Friday. He does not admit that Coolidge Is out of the race. "It appears that the republicans are split three ways in Nebraska," lie said. "Some are for Norris, some for Lowden and others for Coolidge. I am certain three presidential can didates will be placed on the primary ballot as preferential candidates nxt April. The names on the ballot will be Coolidge, Norris and Liowden. They can be placed there by petition and I believe .that will be done. "As for farm relief I very much doubt if the legislation recently be fore congress will be what the farm ers themselves want. There is a way to solve the farm relief problem and President Coolidge is now being edu cated along that line and in the end he may be able to solve it better than any cue eb?e. If we have the immense crops that are now promised there will be no need of farm relief I never saw the people so well sat isfied with conditions as tney are now. The attendance at our county fair increased one-third this year, and this is an indication of the pros perity of the people." Secretary of State Marsh, when questioned regarding the primary election law he would place the name cf Coolidge upon the ballot, as a presi dential preference candidate if a petition containing 100 names from each congressional district is present ed to him. He pointed out that the law states that presidential candi dates shall be printed on the ballot "solely upon the petition of their political supporters in Nebraska" and "without such persons themselves signing the petition or .acceptance." Mr. Marsh said if. a petition candi date should submit to him a state ment that he did not desire his name to appear on the ballot it might be different, as it would seem, unreason able to make, a man run against his will. e . . Acceptance by the presidential candidate is not required by law. Roosevelt once caused a letter to be written to the secretary of state of Nebraska expressing a desire not to have his name on the ballot, and his name was omitted, tho a petition placing it there was on file. The ob ject of the law is to instruct dele gations to national conventions to vote in convention for the candidate of his party who received the most votes of his party in the state pri mary. Norris supporters are circulat ing petitions. Lowden and Coolidge supporters have made no official an nouncement as to whether they will do the same.

KAISER STILL HAS EYES ON THRONE Berlin, Sept. 6. First hand proof that the former kaiser has not given up hope of restoring the throne ap peared Monday with the publication of a telegram in wheih Wiihelm calls upon "the faithful" to work for the restoration of the monarcb3. : Wiihelm telegraphed to Field Mar shal Mackensen, commaddtng the re union of the "129th Old Veterans" as follows: "Happy thanks for the oath of fealty from the 129th Potsdam Old Veterans. That which was glorious ly established and then treacherous ly destroyed, ycu Biu&t ence more strive to establish. God be with us." Red Cloud. Neb., Sept. 2. From records kept for the past year, Perry Peterson, young Webster county farmer, figures a profit of twelve cents a bushel from a field of seven added ?549.09 to the cost of produc tion along with $69. SO paid out for hauling the grain to the elevator, making a total of $1,490.70. He real ized $1.1S per bushel or J1.647.2S gross, and after subtracting his ex pense he found he had left $158.58, which he could figure as net profit. , After plowing four of five inches deep last July, the field was harrowed three times prior to planting with Kanred wheat. This particular piece of ground has been under cultivation for thirty three years and has been in corn for the lat four years. Mr. Peterson says from 50 to 100 loads of manure have been spread on it each year that it has been under cultivation, ty-four acres of wheat on his place, just recently threshed, which yielded IS. 4 2 bushels to the acre and for which he was paid $1.1S a bushel, close to the top price paid here this year. According to his data, jotted down in a little note book he has carried with him continuously since starting the record, it coats him $1.06 a bush el to produce wheat in Webster vuu.iiv. mi. i-eierson s uooks snow a total of 592 hours of man labor was spent on the field, which he figured at 35 cents an hour, and 2,145 horse hours, figure at 20 cents an hour, making a total of $636.20 for labor. He used $26.25 worth of twine and paid out $111.69 for thrashing the grain: His seed cost him $97.68. A bushel of seed, treated with copper carbonate, was planted to the acre. Two ounces of copper carbonate was used to the bushel and Mr. Peterson reports his wheat absolutely free from smut. Figuring: out one third of the gross income off .the farm a rent which he would be able to get off the place bid someone else been farming it, he
