WESTOVER ORDERS
CHARTER TO CENTRAL
Judge Westover at Lincoln
Issues Mandamus Writ
Against Board.
CASE TO SUPREME COURT

u Sidlt SoEEespVHheh'J
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 26.-(Special
Telegram )-District Judge w. H.
Westover, sitting for Judge Albert J.
Cornish in the Lancaster county dis
trict court, today granted a writ Of
mandamus ordering the Nebraska
banking board to grant charter to
the Central State bank of Omaha,
which the board had refused on the
ground that it was empowered to use
its discretion, taking into considera-
ton the banking situation and the ma
ture of the application. y
The hearing occupied two days, in
which the bank brought out the fact
that it had refused to pay large fee
to Democratic National Committee
man Arthur Mullen to act as its at
torney when advised that it might be
to its advantage to employ him in the
case. .s
The case will be appealed, but the
court imposed such conditions, it is
understood, as will bring it up at an
early date in the supreme court.
Mullen On Stand.
Arthur Mullen of Omaha was the
star witness yesterday, being charged
with using his political prestige with
the banking board to keep the bank
from being chartered.
Arthur S. White, president of the
proposed bank, stated on the stand
that he had talked with Judge Hunter
of the Omaha municipal court after
he had become convinced that the
board intended to refuse atcharter
and had been advised to retain Null
len. They visited Mullen, but he
wanted $500 to take the case. He
finally came down to $1,000, but Mr.,
White considered this too much.
Considered Mullen's "Pull."
Judge Hunter stated that after that
time Mullen had agreed to take the
case for $1,000 as retaining fee and
an additional 81 900 if he put the case
through. Hunter was asked by At
torney Lambert if he had not told
White that he knew a man who was
czar in democratic politics Who
could obtain the charter for him with
out the expense of law suit, but
Hunter denied the statement, however
admitting that he might have con-
sidered Mr.. Mullen's standing in the
democratic party as a help along the
line of getting the charter.
Mr.. White believed that Secretary
Royse had it in for him and that he
had been told after he had refused
to retain Mr.. Mullen in the case that
Governor Morehead and Attorney
General Reed had decided not to
grant the charter.
Royse Gives Reason.
Today the examination was resumed
with Secretary Royse of the banking
board on witness stand. Mr..
Royse said that the rule passed by
the board that certain percentage
of the stock should be held by par
ties in or adjacent to town in which
bank was to, be located had been
carried out in this case, for only about
half the required amount was held
in Omaha and vicinity. This with
other minor matters had been the
reason for the board refusing the
charter.

"UncIo SAM

The application of the term Uncle
Sam to the United States had it's be-
ginning In Troy, N. Y, during the war
of 1872. A commission contractor Of
Troy, named Ebert Anderson, had a
shop in which the stocks were always
examined and passed by government
inspector called Samuel Wilson, who
was generally known as Uncle Sam"
When the boxes were passed they
were always marked with the initials
OF the contractor and the nation, "EA-
U.s." One day the man who was doing
the marking was asked what the mi
tails stood for, and replied, jokingly,
that they were the initials of the con-
tractor and Of Uncle Sam" The joke
spread among the men, got into print,
and long before the end of the war
had become known all over the coun-
try. Mr.. Wilson, the original Uncle
SAM" died in Troy in 1854.

HOW NERVES CONTROL HABIT
System Must Be Trained to Follow
CaIIed-For Motions Along a
Certain Path.

Those who think a habit is just,
something you remember-that Is, il
purely mental proposition, are mis-
taken. Habit Is question Of mechan-,
les as much as the smooth drawing
of piston rod.
Habit Is the action OF nerve mo-
tons along beaten path. A muscle
somewhere in the body contracts and
a nerve moves because 1t cannot help
1t, and SO on until the process is
complete, and the thing we call habit
is done.
There are as many of these paths
In the nervous system as there are
habits. The impression which one
nerve center receives awakens another
and the whole path Of the action Isl
travelled over.
The first time the action Is per-
formed the nerve centers do not awak-
en- their successors readily. For
this reason some things are hard to
learn. Everything that employs q
great many nerve centers is hard to
learn, because the path must be worn,
the nerve centers trained to act in
sequence. Once they are trained the
habit Is formed. The second call upon
them Is easier than the first, the third
easier than the second, etc.

it is vivid crimson, but it has a

THE POULTRY YARD
cAPoNs AND cAPoNlzlNo
BY ED WEBER

Few people realize what it means TO
have a few chickens. One must not
think that one can take common mixed
breeds and make anything or even gain
experience as chicken breeder. The
first requirement is to select the breed
one likes best, then get three or four
dozen hens and cock of that breed
and study their habits, find out which
hens are the best layers, save their
eggs, and set them. Mark their chicks
and try to build up their laying quail
ties and hold shape and color.
After you have had at least one
years experience and have raised your
flock to sixty or eighty hens, you will
be able to figure on the income which
will be permanent. Do not look TO the
hens to hustle for their own feed and
at the same time expect them to do
their best. They must be cared for
with the feed, as well as housed.
caponziing Pays.
For to the mode Of dispensing or
disposing Of your product to the best
advantage cockerels will bring more
money as capons. Birds must be ex-
ceptionally fine in form and feathers II
they escape the knife, for they bring
better returns as capons than as
cocks.
The first general law in raising
chickens is to keep them growing. At
the age Of or 10 weeks, or at the
weight of two pounds, one can capon-
ize all cockerels. After the operation
they eat very ravenously for month,
then it takes less for them than for
any other chicken, for they do nothing
but lounge around and take life easy
and grow and develop fat. Now as to
cost. Springers are worth 18 cents per
pound and they weigh two pounds
That would be SO cents at months or
when caponized. If you do not know
how to caponize you will have to pay
10 cents each or 81 per dozen to have
the work done. That would bring
each bird up to As cents. We must
now consider what it will cost ITO feed
him for eight or nine months. Seven
ty-six cents will do it, but if it costs
IS cents that brings him up to $1.3D
Well you say that is good price for
him: yes, but just remember you have
a good chicken, and the finest table
foul that money can buy. Now he
should weight at least eight pounds,
that is the least he ought to weigh
with proper care. At eight pounds at
80 cents per pound he would bring
$2.40. Do you still think $1.30 is
good price. or that a profit Of s1.10 is
better than Is cents as your profit on
a two-pound springer could not exceed
IS cents.
Larger Breeds Best.
1t is best to use only the larger
breeds for capons, but any bird will in
crease in weight from two and a half
to four pounds over the average weight
of that breed. or cocks, at full growth,
one cross makes very fast growing
healthy chickens for capons. Use
your off-color and shape cockerels for
capons. This makes them bring you
as much as some of your good cokerels,
which are sold for breeders.
