Unemployment Not
Cause for Charity
Claim in Omaha Now
Unemployment as a cause for char
ity claims has practically disappeared
in Omaha, according to J. M. L'eidy,
county administrator of charities. .
Requests for assistance have
dropped almost three-quarters from
those during the winter months, and
no increase is expected while busi
ness' conditions remain good and
warm weather continues.
The high cost of living will result
in a considerable increase in necessary
expenditures next winter, however,
Leidy claims.
Contracts let for supplies to be dis
tributed to Jhe poor, recently made
for the year ending June 31, 1917, are
on the whole considerably higher
than those of last season.
Coal, for example, which cost last
year $3.92 per ton, will cost $4.19 "
ier the new contracts.
Other staples have also advanced.
The mothers' pension law is indi
rectly causing a considerable increase
in the number of claims made to the
county charities' bureau, Mr. Leidy
ivers.
"In many, cases where the judge
finds that parties are hardly entitled
to a pension the suggestion is made
that they can apply here for aid in
sase of great necessity," Mr. Leidy
says. "I find that in at least 80 per
cent of the cases'they do come to
me, and I feel almost compelled to
grant aid, although otherwise I might
refuse it.
"I am not attacking the mothers
pension system, for I believe it to be
a good thing, but it has not decreased
other demands for county aid."
Congress toPush
Big Bills to Clear
Deck for Campaign
Washington, July 12. Democratic
and republican leaders in the senate
will hold a conference tomorrow to
discuss means of expediting impor
tant legislative matters, so that con
gress may adjoufn for the political
campaign.
Republican senators in conference
today appointed a special committee
to confer with the democrats on the
. subject. The democratic steering
committee also met, decided on - a
legislative program and voted to hold
the senate in session nine hours daily
until it is completed. The navy and
army appropriation bills, the shipping,
child labor and corrupt practices
measures and the $200,000,000 revenue
bill were listed as the imperative
legislation on the program. Conser
vation measures will be laid -aside
until next session and action on the
pending immigration bill probably
also will be deferred.
Kountze Park People
Form Improvement' Club
The Manderson ' Street Pleasant
Time club, more than 100 strong, met
Tuesday evening at their rooms, Six
teenth and Manderson streets, and or
ganized the Kountxe Park Improve
ment club. J. E. Carmach, 1623 Maple
street, was elected president; C. J.
Taylor, 162S Maple street, vice presi
dent, and K. m. crown, ai. cvans
street, treasurer.
Several general committees were ap
pointed and the club adjourned to
meet next Tuesday night at the Uni
versity of Omaha, Twenty-fourth and
S-att streets. All those interested in
e organization and in the neighbor
hood which it represents are requested
Automobile Speeders
Served With Warnings
"J. E. Phalon, special motorcycle
cop employed b the Omaha Auto
mobile club, on his first day's work,
stopped and warned fifteen violators
o(, the traffic laws. He reports that
most of them promised to do better
in the future. That he made no ar
rests does not mean that he will not
make arrests in the future, he says,
and automobile owners are warned
to behave or take the chances.
Secretary S. E. Smyth expressed
bis gratification and that of the club
over the fiftes which Judge Kubat
handed out to, speeders and other au
tomobile law brakers last week.
Young South Side Man
Is Killed Under Cars
Eddie Curran, 20, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Curran, 1702 W street,
was killed at 5:30 o'clock last evening
by a switch engine in the Burlington
railroad yards between Gibson and
Omaha. The lad, who was employed
as a checker in the yards office, was
crossing the rear end oi the engine.
He missed his footing on the board
nalk and fell under the wheels.
- Curran was. a graduate of St.
Agneai school of the South Side and
a member of the Shubert club. There
will probably be a coroner's inquest.
FARMERS MUST "WAKE UP"
"Wake up, farmers, and give as
much attention to the cost of rais
ing a horse to the working age, as you
do to the cost of raising a steer or a
hog to the marketable age,"
Not exactly In these words, but in
words strong with this general senti
ment, did Dr. C. W. McCampbell dis
cuss profitable horse production be
fore the convention of the Missouri
Valley Veterinary association, at the
Hotel Castle. Dr. McCampbell is sec
retary of the Kansas Live Stock
Registry board.
He declared that it costs $104.06,
by actual statistics, to raise a horse
up from cotthood to the age of three
years, or the proper age to begin
working. "The average man who
raises horses does not know this. This
is a deplorable situation," said the
doctor. '
Continue in Haphazard Way.
"We still c6ntinue in a haphazard
way to raise horses, and in all the
horse breeding that is done through
out the country only a very few are
bred with a view to the production of
a higher class of horses.
"The average man does not know
what size or class of horse is best
adapted to all round farm work, and
the result is that he raises all kinds of
horsta., ' ,
"The best horse for all round farm
work is a sound, active, strong,
healthy horse weighing 1,500 pounds
or more. The larger they, are the bet
ter, if they combine size with general
efficiency.
"The farmer raises his hogs and
his cattle with the idea of getting
them fit for the market as soon as
possible and he usually knows just
about what h costs. With the horse
it is different; he raises the horse to
be Used to work, and, since he expects
to keep him indefinitely and is not
raising him for the market, he too
often pays little attention to the cost
of producing the animal relative to
the value he is to get'out of him:"
, Last Day of Convention. -
The veterinarians and their wives
attended a bai.quet at the Hotel Castle
Tuesday evening. Music and informal
talks on the lighter subjects furnished
the entertainment of the evening.
The veterinarians do not like the
phraseology of a certain bill now
pending in congress-which provides
that none but veterinarians be allowed
to conduct Interstate, inspection of
stock. The association believes this
wording is not sufficiently definite,
and they want it changed to read,
"None but registered, graduate vet-erin-rians."
The executive committee
has been delegated to look after this
matter.
Will Register Protest
The veterinaries are to protest' to
congress against some of the activities
of the county agricultural agents in
the various states. The veterinarians
maintain that these county agents go
beyond their province in attempting
to treat animals on the farms and in
the administration of preventive med
icines and remedies of -various kinds.
The resolution adopted makes use of
the following phrase: "And we pro
test against what appears to be a
misapplication of funds appropriated
by the Smith-Lievers bill."
. The bill referred to is the bill cre
ating a federal fund to aid in the es
tablishment of a system of county ag
ricultural agents in numerous counties
in the country. These agents act in
an advisory capacity to the farmers,
particularly with regard to the crops
and domestic animals. In some
cases they vaccinate hogs and perform
other work o.f this kind, which the
veterinarians believe is proDerly and
peculiarly in the province of the li
censed veterinarian.
R. C. ' Moore of St. Joseph was
elected president of the association
for the ensuing year. C. C. Hall of
Omaha was elected vice president. R.
F. Bourne of Kansas City was re
elected secretary-treasurer. The fol
lowing were elected to the board of
trustees: D. H. Miller,' Council
Bluffs; B. W. Conrad, Sabetha, Kan.;
R. H. Norrisf Omaha; J. H. Scott,
Princeton, Mo.; Joseph Hughe3, Chi
cago. The 1917 convention will again be
held in Omaha.
Important Ruling in
Compensation Law
Of special interest to employers
operating under the workmen's com-
kensation law in Nebraska is a case
JUSl ucciucu uy 11311 111 juugc wja-
grave in Lincoln in favor of the Ne
braska Manufacturers' Casualty asso
ciation, which had insured the defend
ant. A demand had been made by
an injured employe, Guy Ritter, for a
lump sum indemnity of $11,477 despite
the fact that the wage percentage and
allowance for medical attention had
been paid as required by law, the
plaintiff insisting that he was entitled
to compensation for permanent disa
bility. ' A large array of medical witnesses
testified, including Drs. A. F. Tyler
and- C. A; Hull of Omaha. Judge
Cosgrave held that the case was pre
maturely brought and declared in
open court that there was no excuse
for litigation in such instances where
the compensation law protects the
right.1 of all without court procedure.
The casualty association was repre
sented by Attorneys Rosewater and
Cotner.
Seeks Damages from
Woman Jitney Driver
Edward R. Wilson hasl filed suit
in district court asking $2,500 dam
ages from Margaret Strantz, woman
jitney driver, and her bonding com
pany, the Georgia Casualty company.
Wilson charges that on January
7, 1916, 'he was severely injured
when his automobile was struck by
the Strantz jitney.
He sues for the full amount of lia
bility under the bond required by city
ordinance.

an inch to one and one-fourth inches.
At Burwell and for. a long distance
west and northwest the agents report
an inch or more, of precipitation.
On the Burlington's southern line
there were scattering showers all the
way through the Republican river
valley, with an inch and one-half of
rain in and around Holdrege.

heavy rain throughout all of east
ern Wyoming, extending into Ne
braska tu Sidney.

Mouse Traps Take
Place of Tabby m
Omaha Postoffice
There are no cats on the nav-rolt
of the Omaha pdstoffice. Postmaster
John C. Wharton has so notified Miss
Alice Cleator of East Claridon, O.,
who wrote for this information as the
basis of a magazine article.
There once was a tabby who occu
pied the position of rat and mouse
catcher in the local postoffice. She
received no pay, however, except
morsels from the clerks' lunches and
all the rats and mice she caught.
Her name was Polly. One day
she disappeared. She left no word
as to whether she had secured a bet
ter position, or had eloped.
There was great rejoicing among
the rats and mice. They increased
and multiplied. They gnawed into
parcel post packages of eatables and
waxed fat and sassy.
Then the department sent on a
bunch of traps. When these were
out to work the rodents ceased to
multiply and took up subtraction un
til now, it is stated, tney nave almost
disappeared from the office.
