CHURCH BACKS
LUTHERAN HIGH
NEAR DESHLER
Correspondence School Estab
lished With Post Gradu
ate Course for Teachers
' v and Pastors.
Deshter, Neb., Aug. 20. (Special.)
In today's final session of the con
vention of the Nebraska district of
Lutheran Missouri synod, it was re
solved that the synod elect through
the respective boards a director for
the Lutheran High school at Desh
ler, and by such appointment evi
dence willingness to give full moral
support to -this institution and re
ceive a seat in the board of directors.
This school also aims to carry a full
normal course for young women, who
can accept positions offered by
church schools.
A committee on schools approved
of the plan to establish a correspond
ence school with a post-graduate
course for teachers and pastors, that
they may comply with all require
ments of the state and county boards
of education and the full prescribed
program of studies. This plan was
adopted by synod and is in the hands
of a committee and the faculty of the
normal school at Seward.
Not Teach German.
The committee further stated- "It
is our constant endeavor to bring
our schools to a high standard, be
lieving that we owe this to our chil
dren, our country and our church.
We earnestly endeavor to inculcate
loyalty and patriotism! not merely,
as a sentiment, but as a religious
duty which they owe to their coun
try and their God, according to Rom-
- ans XIII: 1-7. Not one of our schoojs
H maintained for hc teaching and
the propagation of the German lang
uage. Our people cannot be brought
to maintain schools for this purpose.
We ni-iitain our own schools for the
same reason for which Ave build our
on churphes1 and other religious de
nominations build theirs-as a matter
of conscience. We hold it to be our
duty to give our children a thorough
religious instruction and training,
'such as the Sunday school cannot
'give and the public school very prop
erly does not attempt to give."
Members of this committee were
Profs. George Weller and J. T. Link.
The mission board reported that the
last year's budget for state home mis
sions was $28,000. The same appro
priation was made for the next year.
The place and time for next year's
meeting was not definitely decided up
on; it was left to the president, Rev.
C. F. Brommer, Hampton, and the
conference advisers.
McPheely Says Liberty
. Bond Deduction Illegal
Lincoln, Aug. 20. (Special.) The
action of the state board of equali
zation jn refusing; to permit the deduc
tion of Liberty bonds from their cap
ital stock" assessment is backed up
by J. L. McPhely, prominent attor
ney at Minden, in a letter to State
Auditor Smith. He says such a de
duction is illegal and he has so advised
the two banks in which he is a stock
holder, and also the county loard,
while acting temporarily as county
attorney.
McPheely "has discovered a point to
substantiate his contention which has
not been raised heretofore. He says
that national "banks were always re
quired under the old financial sys
tem to carry a certain amount of gov
ernment bonds as the basis of their
circulation. However, no banks ever
claimed or were allowed deduction
on that account.
Lincoln, Traction Company
Applies for Higher Fare

thority to increase streea car fares The

out that the gross and net income
have decreased to such an extent that
not only will the company be unable
to pay preferred dividends, but it will
not have funds to meet this year's
taxes which become lue next Decem
ber, or to pay bond interest at the
time it falls due, Jan. 1, 1919
The commission on June 17 denied
the company's application for in
creased fares and an appeal from this
decision is pending ,before the su
' prerne, court.
