Always located in the heart of the busl nea section so a to be accessible to the grcateat number, they usually have two entrance, one for men alone and the other for women or gentlemen accompanied by women. The front part of the loom is devoted to comfortable chalra, a library and periodlcala, where one may reat and read. Beyond theae are neat tables, where coffee, tea, chocolate or milk is served. Here one can get a cup of coffee, choco late, a pot of tea or a glass of milk with a aandwlch, a couple of snails, doughnuts, buns or bread and butter, all for b cents. For a small additional cost fruits. Ice cream, plea, baked beana or salads are added. Here the shop girl or school children may bring their lunch and have It rein forced by aome warm. nourlKhing soup or drink at a nominal coat. Here, too the family may drop In for lunch and the tired ahopper finds it a delightful resting place. The women' section cloaea at 9, but the men's department Is kept open until 11 p. m. In order to accommodate men and boys mho work at night. In San Joae, a city of 26,000 inhabitants, the average number fed In a day was from 1.100 to 1.5CC. Some months there were as many as 75,000 served by one club alone. There waa a two-fold object In establish ing tbese clubs. One was to serve the peo ple with good, wholesome food at a mini mum cost, but the paramount purpose was to keep men out of the saloon, to protect the boyhood of the country, to furnish a high-class, respectable place where one could get good food and a nourishing drink aa cheaply aa he could a glaes of beer. Tha plan was very successful and Im mensely popular. The management waa able to pay good wagea to ita employee and to meet all bills at the schedule of prices I have Indicated. I am surprised that Omaha, In view of Its ever progressive spirit, has not adopted something of the kind. It seems, on the eve of closing the night saloon, that this would be the psychological moment to In augurate the movement here and furnish to the state an object lesson a high-class. respectable, Inexpensive place of reat and refreshment.

Tlie leaolution poatponlng action for two weeks Mate explicitly that thla will be the laat postponement and that the affected rompanlea undoubtedly will be given no more time for argument after that date. Argument wna offered Thursday morning before tho city council on the occupation tax ordlnancea affecting water and electric light companies. In the argument Thursday the Omaha Water company was represented by E. M. Fairfield, local manager, and the Omaha Electric Light and Power company by F. A. Nash, president. These officials argued agalnat the ordinance. Harry B. Zimman, former councilman, speaking for the meas ures. Representatives of other public service fianchleed corporationa were prea ent at the aesalon. We Don't Care, Say a Fairfield. "Toil can do aa you chooae with these ordinances," Manager Fairfield of the water company told the council. "We do not care much one way or the other whether you paas them or not, as we will not pay the tax anyway." He aald that the company Is now paying he city about 12 per cent per annum In the way of free water furnished; that It takea many yeara for publio service eor- poi aliens to earn profits and that In thir teen year the company had paid In divi dends "only" $300,000. Following tha argument of Mr. Nash and the reply of Mr. Zimman to both com panies. Councilman McOovern called Mr. Fairfield back for further questioning. One of the questions the councilman asked was If the manager did not think that his company ought to pay the city something for the use of the streets for the mains used in carrying water to South Omaha, but Mr. Fairfield thought not, saying that the company was paying for the streets by furnishing water free to drinking fountains. How many of these free drinking foun tain have you shut the water off from," asked Mr. McGovern. "About sixty," replied the manager. "And still you think you are paying the city In water all it ought to receive in re turn for the use of the streets?" "I most certainly do," said Mr. Fair field. "The quantity of water furnished Is entirely immaterial. The fact la, the company is not making any money above expenses and Improvements." "Well," said Mr. McOovern, "you are not paying out any money In Omaha In the way of Improvements." And the argument waa closed. Nash Injerta Politics Into It. President Nash ot the electric light com pany told the councllmen that It would do them no good to pasa the ordlnancea, as they would get no credit for It.' " "Thla occupation tax theory ha been proclaimed and threshed over In the pa pera for a matter of aix months, but the people do not seem to be greatly Interested In It, as there Is not a single representa tive taxpayer at the hearing," said Mr. Nash. "The truth Is that the occupation tax discussion was started by Harry Zlm man. 'I have been acused of owning Harry Zimman," continued Mr. Naah, "but I want to proclaim right here and now that I do not. never have and never want to own or control him." Mr. Nash a Id that In the ten years he has been with the company he has not drawn SI In dividends. Mr. Zimman spoke briefly and replied to the water and light companies at the same time. "As long as the Omaha Water company and not the city, haa the key to the cash drawer. It is no more than fair that the company should pay the city a royalty. he aald. "The water company has not paid $1 to the city, its franchise has expired. and it should be compelled to pay this tax." Valao . of a Franchise. "The value of a franchise Is true with all companies, and If It Is true that the electric light company makes no money In street lighting, its street lighting contract Is valuable nevertheless, as It keeps out competition." In answering President Nash, who In- Jected politics Into the discussion, Mr. Zlm. man said he would announce for the par tlcular benefit of the prealdent of the elec trie light company that he will not be candidate for any office this fall or In the city campaign three years from now and that aa far aa he knows he never expects to be a candidate for public office as long as he lives "The absence of taxpayers at this meet lng does not signify lack of Interest, Mr. Zimman. "They want the occupation tax. both political parties declared for it, and they are not here at this meeting simply for the reason that it la a council meeting to settle the amount of the tax " Big- Wheat Harvest is About to Be gin and Labor Problem Bobs Up. A scarcity of men for harvesting the wheat crop again threatens Kansas, ac cording to the statement of W. E. Ptevena, aaslstant claim agent fur the Mlaaourl Pacific, In Kansas they have started the harv est of their wheat," aald Mr. gtevena, "but find they cannot get enough men to handle the big crop. Kansas haa trouble nearly every year getting hands for the wheat fields, and this year, with a bigger crop than laat season, the farmer are direly perplexed a how to get men. "Some of the farmers In eastern Kanva are thinking of making an appeal to the railroads to get them to bring In harvest hand from other state. This ha been done In paat year, and aeema- to be the only solution lo the problem now. "I found both the corn and wheat In fine condition In eaatern Kana, ' but a little leaa better off In the westrn part of the state, whera there has not been so much rain. "The wheat crop In the Jayhawker state will be larger than last season, but not as large as It haa been in some years be fore 1908." YOUNGER MEN HONOR ELDERS WITH DINNER AT FIELD CLUB General C. F.
