THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1917. 3 FARMERS WASTE - SPUDS, IS CHARGE i Executive in Western Part of State Reports Carelessness in Harvest Results in Huge Waste. Nebraska is the most wasteful state in the union in its method of han dling its potafd crop, in the opinion of E. P. Miller, who is in charge of potato distribution in Nebraska. Mr. Miller wrote State Food Ad ministrator Wattles that in the west n, em part of the state the potato crop is badly handled, that wagons are backed up to a pile of potatoes and the potatoes are shoveled into the wagon, thus being badly cut, gashed and bruised. So much . is this care lessnes practiced, according to wr. Miller, that in the eastern markets the Nebraska potato has a reputation as being always of inferior grade by reason of being cut and bruised. Mr. Wattles will look into the mat ter. A. a!bisr potato growers' con vention to be held at Alliance Novem ber 15 Mr. Wattles will speak teethe farmers. ' R. M. McGinnis, secretary of the Dairymen's Association of Nebraska, has written Mr. Wattles to say that too many calves are slaughtered in Nebraska. He urges that something be done to conserve this baby beef and that particularly the female beef be conserved, in order that the supply may be increased. The communica tion will go to the live stock commit tee. Mr. Wattles is scheduled to speak to the bakers of Omaha this evening at a meeting in the New England bak ery, North Sixteenth street. Woman's Assailant Spurns Valuables; Rings May Be Clue Miss Kate Hartwell, 2227 North Twentieth street, was awakened at 3 o'clock Thursday morning by an in truder standing over her bed with his hands about her throat Her .screams aroused her sister, Mrs. Al cott, in the next room, who rushed to the scene and found the man gone. A large butcher knife, taken from the Alcott pantry, was found on the bed. Nothing was taken, and a sum of money in one of the dresser drawers in the room was not touched. M. R- Alcott, at whose home Miss Hartwell lives, is a night engineer at the electric light plant and had gone to work at 12 p. m., leaving the back door unlocked. The only description Miss Hartwell can give of the man is that he had two rings on his hand, other particu lars being lacking because the room at the time of the attack was in dark ness. , - - Alleges Renter Stole ' - Furnishings From House "Mrs. v Frances Jacobs. 709 Georgia avenue, appeared in ponce court this morning against Mrs. M. McNaugh "Son, charged with petit larceny. Mrs. Jacobs alleges she leased her v rooming house (to Mrs. McNaughton, and when the tenant moved found linens of various kinds missing and other items, ranging from a black hat to an iron skillet, gone. Mrs. McNaughton, through her counsel, asked for a continuance of " the case to permit her to get wit nesses who are now in Schuyler, Neb. The trial will come up in police court Saturday morning. ' Cigar Sign Falls From . Effects of Its Old Age A heavy metal cigar sign infront of the Beselin & Son cigar store at Fourteenth and Douglas fell to the sidewalk at noon. Tne iron pole which supported the sign had rusted at the base and broke off even with the sidewalk. The street at this time of day is usually crowded, but no one was struck by the sign. A figure of "Cupid," which was a part of the sign, with an escutcheon, "Whatafools these mortals be," was lying beneath the sign and at first was thought to be the body of an un fortunate pedestrian. 4 Connell Favors Hog Lot I In Every Back Yard ' Health Commissioner Connell be lieves every backyard could support at least one hog., ; ' This official favors revoking during the period of the war a city ordinance which prohibits keeping hogs within the city limits.

INFECTION FROM VACCINE NQT BAD No Serious Case Develops Among Pupils of the Madi son School on the South Side. "There is not a serious case among the thirty-five children suffering from if infection' of arms at Madison school. Health Commissioner Connell. The doctor, accompanied by his as sistant, Dr. Louis A. Dermody, and Superintendent J. H. Beveridge of the public schools, visited Madison school this morning and investigated the vaccine situation. The health commissioner made the following report: jno oaa results win iciiow m any case, rive ot tne attectea children are from the same family, and in these cases the vaccination did not take. The vaccine used on the arms of 200 children at Madison school two weeks ago was taken from the ime supply which was used to vac .iate ) children at franklin school and 700 children at other schools, and we heard of no complaints from those cases. The vaccine was all right. I attribute the trouble to improper care of arms after vaccination. I observed several arm shields out of place. I believe same of the children scratched their arms and caused infection in that manner. In other instances in fection was caused by contact with, clothing. I observed no inflamma tion of arm in any case. All except one child is in school and that child might just as well be at school." Omaha Police to Get Eaise in Pay '". After January 1 Mayor Dalhman and the city com missioners this afternoon agreed to include in the budget for 1918 an addi tional sum of $13,000 to the police de partment fund, to cover an increase of $10 per month for all policemen now MA il. receiving $w a monin. 'jThe prospective increase will give the patrolmen ' the maximum of $100 a month as authorized in a legislative enactment .of 1915. The recent victory of ,the firemen who took their case to the state su preme court heartened the policemen to ask for their raise. H. Ulmer, S. E. Brown. T. Dworack. Joe Patach, E. J. Delehanty and T. J. O Connor called on the city officials in behalf of the policemen Commissioner Kugel will offer a resolution and he will be supported by other members of the city council.
