"Beginning with thl morning firms using perry Hutchinson green trading stamps will hava to pn. cash for their orders from Jobbing firms, will have to send their own wagons for their orders and their trade Will not be solicited by the jobbing houses." This statement lias been made by Wil liam Kennedy, advertising manager ot the Bennett company. "The Jobbers have been forced by the Omaha Retail Grocers' association to sign a contract not to sotoclt orders from us," be said. "We do not care about paying cash (kith orders, we figure on doing that, but the Inconvenience lies In having to send our Wagons. .. But the Benpett company will tight It out.

They say that the stamps are pernicious, but we ask them how they are pernicious to the people of Omaha? They do not say.

We will fight this thing to the finish." SBC PROTEST AGAINST SALOON fletaoastraaee ea Graatlag Lteeasa Kallvens Meeting of Ceaaty Commissioners. .1 - " Monday's session of the county 'com missioners wss enlivened over a protest against granting a permit for a saloon to be located In Union township. The matter 'of the application first came before the board two weeks ago, but was met with a protest, and at that tim the board realised It would be necessary to hear both aides to the controversy. Ac cording to statements made by the assessor for Union township, there are 133 resident freeholders, and the claim Is made that the applicant for the permit has not a sufficient number of signatures. It was shown that when the petition was first filed before the commissioners It had a sufficient number, but that slnoe that time a number bad withdrawn and signed the protest. In view of these facts it la now up to the applicant to prove the sufficiency of his petition. The board also heard Lee Helsley briefly upon his proposition to 'ferret out the un- assessed land in the county, and when the assessmenta on such properties have been collected Helsley and Elmer Starr are to be given one-half the amount of the col lection. The matter will coma tip for passage at the next session ot the commis sioners. la Jes Moines and other western cities the tax ferrets have made thousands of dollars for themselves and the county. It la claimed that the amount of taxable property which is untaxed at present will aggregate several thousand dollars. BIGGEST AMOUNT. YET ASKED fifty Taeasar- ' Dollars Is What .
