cial club will endeavor to entertain
all who attend the meeting. In addi
tion to a largo number of appointive

Corporations Behind With Tax.
Employes of the Bccretary of state's
offico have completed) a list of the. cor
porations which have not yet paid
their state occupation tax and most of
which will therefore bo placed upon
tho delinquent list. There aro nearly
1.000 names on tho list. The tax Is
jclue July 1, and becomes delinquent
September 20. If tho tax Is not paid
by November 30, tho state can with
draw tho corporation permits to do
business in tho state. Two hundred
companies havo paid their taxes sinco
September 1, and 500 more are ox.
pectcd to pay between now and Sep
tember 30.
County Attorney Mutt Be Lawyer.
No statutory provision cxiBts in Ne
braska which specifically requires the
county attorney of a county to bo a
duly admitted practitioner, but Attor
ney General Martin construes tho law
to mean that a county attorney must
bo a legally qualified practitioner at
tho bar. This is the answer tho at
tornoy general has given to Amos E.
Cantt, county attorney of Richardson
county. Some states havo statutes
specifically providing that county at
torneys must bo duly admitted prac
titioners. Will Exhibit Nebraska Products.
Nebraska Is to bo well represented
Jn the exhibit of agricultural products
to bo placed on tho ground floor of
tho Burlington's new general head
quarters building in Chicago. A repre
sentative of tho road Is now traveling
through western Nebraska with a car
which is being loaded with Nebraska
products. Tho car will eventually be
1 shipped to Chicago, where tho con
tents will bo displayed before the oyea
of prospective western settlers.
Seed Corn Selection Week.
Tho movement for tho early selec
tion and proper care or seed corn In
( Nebraska has been glvon official rec
ognition through a proclamation H-
, sued by tho governor, setting nsldo
September 30 to October 6 as "Seed,
1 Corn Selection Week." Tho early bo-
J flection or seed corn will rncan a big
.saving to tho stato in general and
rwlll obviate tho necessity or sending
for seed corn outside the state.
Clash of Authority.
Commander Joe Teeter of the Mil
ford homo for soldiers reports that
tho member of tho home who refused
to leave the Institution when given an
enforced forlough, did finally leave
tho home. Tho soldier was John Full
bright of Lincoln. Commandant
Teeter and ho disagreed over tbo au
thority of tho formor to order inmates
or tho homo to wash windows.
Stato fair rccolpts for tho first tlmo
In the history of that Institution ex
ceeded $100,000 this year. Tho exact
total Is now known at present, but will
be announced Just ns soon as tho
board of managers has bod time to
check oVer tho reports.
Railroad Rates Cut a Figure.
Attendance at tho fair was slightly
larger than last year, but It would
havo fallen off considerably but for a
big Increase in tho attendance from
territory within a radius of 100 miles
of Lincoln. Railroad statistics show
that traffic from eastern Nebraska in
creased markedly, while that from the
western counties fell off to a very
noticeable degree. This Is believed to
be because of tho higher rates, which
naturally affected most those who live
at a dlstanco from Lincoln.
Change at 8tate Normal.
Dr. A. C. Fleishman of DoPauw uni
versity has been selected to take the
position vacated by Dr. W. A. Clark
of tho Kearney stato normal. Prof.
II. R. Snodgrnss cf tho state normal
faculty was promoted to bo dean ot
tho department of education, taking
tho place of tho roslgned dootor.
