Governor Explains Civil
Code Bill to ROtarianS

Governor S. R, McKelvie ex-
planned the benefits of the civil code
bill, which he had introduced in the
legislature, at luncheon of the Ro-
tary club in the Fontenelle hotel
Wednesday. "The civil administra-
ton code is a business administra-
tion of public business" he said.
Tits a cabinet form of govern
inent with six different departments.
A man is appointed by the governor
as head of each department and he is
responsible to the governor for that
department.. So it is in civil bust
ness. What would happen to bust
ness If there were not men who were
responsible to one head?
when America first entered the
war it appeared as though they had
a task before them that could not be
accomplished. Men we're needed,
munitions and many other things
America accomplished a thing that
has never been done before.
How was this done?--men were
appointed as heads of various things
and they had men who were respon-
sible to them and themselves were
responsible to one head. Now the
same method must be applied in the
time of peace. The many lessons
Of health and sanitation must also
be applied.
'If anything at ali has been
learned from the war it is service
and that is to be given to the people
through the Public welfare depart

Commercial Course
Proves Popular With
South High Students

The commercial course is the
most popular at the South High
school. There are 221 pupils taking
this course. Five teachers devote
their time exclusively to teaching
commercial subjects, and other
teachers devote a part of their time
to teaching subjects pertaining to
the commercial branch.
The commercial department has
made the boast that not one of
their graduates has failed in the
business world, and business men
state that South High commercial
students are very efficient. Few
South Side people attend other
Omaha commercial schools.
Next in popularity is the Normal
training course with So students.
Following the Normal training
course are the foreign language
with 4o registrants, the scientific,
with %; the history with % and
household arts with 10.
The registration in these courses
is not a fair estimate of the de-
mand for the course, however, &C
cording to Principal Mars, as the
foregoing figures apply only to
those who have specified their in
tentions of meeting the require
ments of the particular course, and
excludes many students doing work
in classes of the course mentioned.

STEPDAUGHTER
BRINGS SUIT FOR
SHARE OF ESTATE
Question of CommOn-LaW
Marriage Involved; Family
Skeletons Barred During
Hearing in District Court.

The family skeletons OF the late
Ralph H. Hall of Ralston are being
placed on review in Judge Leslie's
court where an estate case is being
contested by Mrs. Elizabeth Malm-
steam, stepdaughter.
The principal issue involved in the
case is whether the domestic rela-
tons of Hall and the late Mrs.
Nancy ]. Pollock, during a period of
nearly Is years, constituted a COM
mon-law marriage.
Burt Hutchinson lived for many
wears with Hall and Mrs. Pollock
and he was introduced as witness
who had intimate knowledge of their
affairs. The witness testified that
when he mentioned the subject of
formal marriage to Hall, the latter
replied that it was nobody's bust
ness how he lived
Called Her "His Woman"
"He called her his woman on some
occasions, and sometimes he referr-
ed TO her as Mrs. Pollock, but do
HuI lCCOllCNt that llG GdllCu llCI MS
wife" the witness testified. "They
went together frequently to Omaha
and attended old settlers picnic to-
gether and sometimes they went to
Omaha on Sundays where she at
tended church and he went to other
places --.... .-.-
Hutchinson added that Hall was
in six runaways, but that those af-
fairs did not deter him from driving
his favorite buckskin pony to within
year before his death during
March, 1916"
Farm Involved.
The property in litigation includes
500 acres OF farm land near Ralston.
Mrs. Malmstean was an adopted
daughter OF Mrs. Nancy J. Pollock
before the latters common-law mar
riage to Hall. The defendants are
contending that Mrs. Pollock was
only housekeeper in the Hall
household.

And as the delegates TO the Meth.
odist convention daily sang this
song in Omaha, there was one man
to whom the "little church in the
wildwood" heralded by song and
sentiment to international fame,
was more than a church of song.
That man was Rev. H. D. Green
of Nashua. Ia, the town where the
same brown church now stands and
from where the song has sung its
way round the world, in church and
out, finding its demand equally in
sistent in the trenches Somewhere

singers, as in conventions; in little

heartfelt than harmonious,-in the
famous Church Just Round the

Green often breaches in the church.
Church of Song.
"The reality is only the church
Of the song" said Rev. Mr.. Green
Gust an ordinary little brown
church, kept brown by tradition, in
the sequestered vale of two twisted
streams-Missouri and the Cedar. It
was built back in 81 and gradually
as the railroads brought business,
and eommercialism to Bancroft.
Nashua was deserted and the little
brown church left high and dry"
The song was first written by DR..
William Pitts, then Singing master"
of the country church, for Friday
night choir rehearsal
There was no effort of publication
it sung its way like the folk songs
of old, and as time went on came
into song books until without doubt
there is no equal in popularity for
one comparatively modern hymn.
"oh come, come, come to the church in
the Wildwood
oh, come to the church IN the vale

was answered until the tourists form
actual congregations themselves.
Oftentimes they bring theiT
