on which the Omaha Public library atanda.
The notice waa sent In by W. W. Glabaugh
and John W. Battln a attorneya for Au

Omaha; that he Is the aole heir to the
Interest of his parents In the library lots;
that one of said lots waa held by the
father through adverse possession, and that

ranty deed in 1877; that In Uf4, Mrs. Behr
ena gave a quit claim deed to the lot held

Report -on Street Car Strike.
Councllmen Kugel, Brldgea, Schroeder,
Huramcl and Liavls, the special committee
appointed to examine Into and report on the
ciusf-t of tho streot car strike, and how
to prevent such strikes In future, sub
mitted a report. They found that the
company waa not giving the best service
ut the time' of the strike, and that the
service at present Is unsatisfactory; also
that it would be idle to go into causes and
possible remedies at this time. The com
mittee recommended that ordinances be
prepared and put through to compel the
company to Increase its service during the
busy hours morning and evening. And the
council received the report and placed It
carefully on file.
i Snlt on Garbage Contract.
A resolution was passed, on motion of
Councilman Berka, Instructing the city at
torney to Investigate the garbage contraot
held by Guy L,. Axtell, and If a ault at .aw
will lie to compel the carrying out of Us
tor roe, then suoh suit to be Instituted. This
action waa taken after a communication
had been read from Axtell offering to sur
render the contract and hold the city
blameless for failure to live up to Its terma.
If the city would also consent to hold him
blameless for any failure to carry out his
agreement. Mr. Axtell Insisted the city has
not properly protected him, and that the
existing situation Is deplorable and dan
gerous. A communication ' from- Health
Commissioner Connell - alao dwelt on ihe
failure to gather any garbage at this time.
Protest ' is Withdrawn. .
A communication waa read from Casper
E. Tost, president of the (Nebraska Tele
phone' company, which - Stated: "Having
gone through the courts on the question of
tax on gross receipts, and having been
beaten at every point In the courts, I wish.
on behalf of the company, to withdraw the
protest." Thla letter referred to a pretest
filed by W. A. Plxley, auditor of the co'm
pany, last Saturday.
The withdrawal of the Telephone com
pany'! protest will have the effect of releas
Ing for use by the council all the money thus
far paid in under the operation of the oc
cupation tax ordinance, all other protests
having been already withdrawn.
The city engineer will proceed to paint
the . names of streets on poles adjacent to
all corner's, the council putting through an
ordinance to that effect Ty unanimous vote
By a formal vote of record, I to i all
the ordinances having In view lower street

How To Save $2 On Cough
Medicine by Making it at Home
Cough medicines, as a rule, are mostly
syrup. To make the beat syrup, take a
pint of Granulated tfuar, add H pint
warm water, and stir about 2 minutes.
Get two and one-half ounces of Plnex
(60 cent worth), put It In a clean pint
bottle, and . fill up with the Granulated
Sugar Syrup. This make a full pint of
unequaled cough syrup, for about (4 cents.
Keeps perfeotly. You couldn't buy aa much
ready-made cough syrup for 2.60.
This home-made remedy Is pleasant to
take, and usually stops even the most
obstinate cough in twenty-four hours. It
Is splendid, also, for colds, whooprng
oough, bronchial ailments, etc. Take a
teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
The Sugar Syrup Is an excellent sad.
atlve. The Plnex Is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway White
Pine Extract, rich In all Ihe healing ele
ments of Norwegian pine. Be sure to use
the real Plnex Itself. Your druggist has
It or can cattily get It for you.
Strained honey can be ned Instead of
the syrup, and makes a very fine honey
and pine tar cough syrup. Adv.
How to Make Good Bread
One day a piece In a paper I read;
It was telling how to make good bread,
And this was the whole of Its secret

On all the border of the west,
In north or south or east.
It would crown a goodly feast
And would plea a poet, peasant, king,
And e'en the mighty Shah;
But wouldst thou know of what I sing?
"l is "Pride of Omaha."
Mrs H. M. Mllburn,

Santa Glaus Will Fill 'Em
The "Pride of Omaha" comas around
Each Wednesday to our door;
We hall Its coming with delight
And always wish for more.
It gives us health. It gives us wealth.
And sweetest comfort, too.
If ever its supply should cease,
I don't know what we'd do.
Old Santa Claus will be here soon;
We'll dust each sack out clean
And hang It by the fireplace
Just where It can be seen.
Old Nick will turn his glasses.
And with a smiling face.
Say. "11a! Ha! this is right,
1 rn sure this Is the place;
I'll refill the 'Pride of Omalia'
To prove their Judgment true.
And tie a ribbon 'round the top
To prove that it's true blue."

Mrs John. Austin,

If one win take the. trouble to ask the
next ten men he sees what grain crop
gives the greatest yield of grain In bush
els, five of them probably will answer In
stantly, "Corn." . Two of the others will
guess "Wheat" and two will say "Rice."
The tenth will be in doubt, but he will
say It Is one or the other of those three
crops. Tet every one of them will be
wrong. Premiership In world production

leads that of corn by 260,000,000 bushels, ex
ceeds the production of wheat , by near.'r
400.000,000 bushels. Is nearly throe times as
great as the production of barley and more
than double the yield of 'rye. Even Hoe,
the principal diet of Asiatic millions, does
not show as gTeat a bushel yield a oats
by 800,000,000 bushels. Oats, king of grain
crope. showed a world yield of more than
1,600,000,000 bushels In 1908.
r. Samuel Johnson said oats were eaten
by men In Scotland and horses In England,
"Yes," replied a canny Scot, "and have
you observed that England Is famous for
ita horses and Scotland for Its men?" What
wheat Is to the American, rice to the Japa-
nese and Chinese, that Is oats to the ta
bles of millions of Eropean families. In
deed, Europe, which produces only an
eighth of the world's corn and half of its
wheat, produces two-thirds of Its oata.
Crop concentration Is one of the most
Interesting things that relates to the
world's food supply. While North America
reduces nearly SO per cent of the, world's
corn, Europe grows 66 per cent of J -4 oats
and Asia W per cent of its rloe. North
America furnishes eleven out of every
nineteen bales of the world s cotton, while
urope yields nine out of ten bushels of
Its potatoes. While oats furnishes the big
gest grain crop, cotton the biggest fiber
crop and cattle the biggest meat crop. It
remains for potatoes to furnish the big-
gebt of .all crops which enter into the diet
of man. Nearly o.COO.000.000 bushels were
grown In 1907, and, while the potato Is
distinctly a plant of American ancestry,
the Americans produce less than one
bushel of potatoes where Europe produces
a hundred.
In point of quantity oats Is the second
grain crop grown In the United , States,
although wheat outranks It In weight and
in value. It Is first among the grain cropa
of Canada. The leld of oats In the latter
country Is practically equal to that of
corn, wheat and barley together. In 1908 It
was equal to all these, with all the smaller
grain crops thrown In for good measure,
lta prestige in Canada Is due mainly to the
fact that It Is one of the hardiest of crops',
and will start In northern climates late
enough In the spring to escape the ending
winter, and mature early enough In the
fall to escape the cold and frost of the be-
ginning winter. It Is also one of the most
Imirune of all the crops from diseases and
pests, thus assuring a good average yield.
Likewise, Its straw is much more palatable
to cattle, and other live stock than Is that
of any other of the grain crops. .
It has been estimated , that the demands'
of the American people, for cereals - as
breakfast fpods has multiplied a hunrded
fold In a single generation, and that while
oata was first on the ground aa a claim-
.... v.. a..u iiH om nara pressea
by the vast advertising campaigns con-
uuoiea in me interest or corn and wheal
preparations, lu atJU holds first place as
the cereal of ihe breakfast table. It used
to be believed that oats contained a stim-
ulant principle like cafflene In coffee. It
was named "avenln.", But the, most dill-
gent search In the chemical ' laboratory
has failed to Isolate ' It from the - other
properties of the oat grain.
Liberty Hyde Bailey, the great agrlcul-
tural expert, who has written a long list
of books on the farm and the farmer,, and
who . headed the Roosevelt Country Life
commission, is authority for the statement
that the domestic speoles of oats may
have aprung from the wild oata of Europe
Many botanists believe that it has come
down unhybrldiied for generations from' a
Tartarian species now lost and extinct.
That Its native heath la eastern Europe is
generally believed. There is said to be no
Hummel ordinance, and the city engineer
and councllmen regard them as In many
respects superior to the old specfcatlons.
What CoaarrOTO learned.
City Comptroller Lobeck submitted a long
detailed report from Deputy Comptroller
Fred H. Cosgrove of his recent trip of in
vestigation to other cities to examine Into
their systems of accounting, with special
relation to collection of occupation taxes
and royalties. Mr. Cosgrove reports that
Des Moines has many very attractive feat
ures embodied In Its accounting system,
and that : Its physical features have been
greatly Improved in recent years. He says
further that hia Investigations have put
him In a position to present a system of
municipal accounting for the city ot
Omaha, in a concise manner, and on the
lines adopted by the United States census
bureau. He further says that "the bun
gled charter under which the. city of
Omaha operates Its . several functions of
municipal administration has developed a
system of aocounta peculiarly Its own.'
and proceeda to illustrate by comparison
with other systems. He finds that money
paid to the treasurer of Omaha oannot be
gotten out for any crokked purpose without
a Jimmy, but suggests that in many de
tails the local system Is not the best.
Mr. Cosgrove's conclusion Is that for the
coming year each ciA department be re
quired to make request for apportionment
of fynds on blanks to be furnished by the
comptrollers offloe, as a start toward a
more complete and up to date method of
transacting olty business.
GYPSY VOLUNTARILY GOES TO
COURT, FIRST CASE IN STATE
Milan Merlao Ask Jat Leslie to
Name Onardlan for Hts Two
Children.
For the first time In the history of Ne
braska, and. perhaps, of the middle west,
a gypsy has come voluntarily Into court.
The Romanytea prefer to adjudicate their
own differences of whatever kind.
Milo Merino, an "Egyptian" of the tribe
encamped near Florence, has appeared In
county court asking that Judge Leslie
name a guardian for his two youngest
children.
Merino says In his petition that his wife
Is Insane and confined in an asylum from
which she can never emerge oured. Merino
declares he has three older children of
whom he can and will take care, but that
he Is a poor man at best and wtahss the
court to r.ama John Marks guardian of
Angellno Merino, aged I years, and John
Merino, 11 months. Hla three older chil
dren are called Mario, Sarltla and Drag
Merino.
R. H. Olmsted, who prepared the peti
tion tor Merino, asserts that the gypsy will
acknowledge so far as the guardianship
and the children are coaoerned the sov
ereignty of the state, a concession gypsies
are loth aa a rule to make.
John Marks Is declared In the petition
to be a fit and proper person, "all parties
reference to oats In the Jitersture of China,
India, or any other part of southern Asia.
Some think It originated In Persia, or
Mesopotamia, where It waa found growing
as a volunteer crop on the banks of the
Euphrates. It Is not mentioned In the
Bible, though barley and wheat are.
Though the word "corn" Is seldom used
as meaning bats, It Is applied to nearly
all of the other grain eropa of the world.
An America It means malse, to the Scotch
It means oats,; to the Englishman wheat,
and to the Scandinavian a "corn field"
means a field of rye. "Corn" is a word
that applied to all grain crops, but It is
,
usually by a people to designate their
principal crop. The Englishman would no
more think of calling malse corn than the
American would. think of speaking of wheat
as corn. When the Savior spoke of the
"corn of wheat" He meant the same that
we mean by a "head of wheat," and the
Englishman by an "ear of wheat."
To "Scotland the world owes Its first ac-
qualntance with oata aa a food for the
human race. In generations gone by thoti-
sands of people lived for years with oats
and milk aa the principal article of diet.
As rice converts the Japanesa Into fight
ing machines with an endurance far be
yond that of the European and American
meat eater, so oata produces a race of
strong people able to endure much, and
gives point to the declaration of the Scotch
that England Is famoua for lta horses and
Scotland for Its men.
The tables of the world's production of
oaU and tner a-ralna reveal some wondor-
fully Impressive and significant facta.
Europe and North America, with a land
aiea only one-fourth as great aa the re-
mlnlnK continents, produce four times as
many bushels of grain. Including rice, aa
all the other continents together. Reckon
ing on the basis of population It will be
found that one-fllth of the human race
grows four-fifths of the cereal cropa of the
world. Europe and North America grow
12,0uO,OU0,0u0 bushela that represent a normal
world crop of gathered grain; of which
crop oata consti'.ute nearly 24 per cent. It
Is difficult for the human mind to conceive
tho immensity of this yield of grain. It
would fill a bin a -mile long and a mile
wide, with a height of about 430 feet, or 100
average city blocks piled over 400 feet high,
There are some seventy different varieties
of oata grown In America, That the yield
may be Increased to a remarkable extent
by the seleotion of setd Is shown by the
experiments of Prof. Zavlty of the Ontario
Agricultural college. One part of a plat
of ground was sowed with oats each grain
of which waa selected by hand, and only
018 Plumpest chosen. From these seeds he
fathered a harvest of oats which showed a
"eld nt 77 "h" acre. Using light
'rhna tor 8eed on the other part of tho
lfia.i ne louna mi ine yieia was uiiy-eigiu
bushels per acre. He believes that th
average farmer can, by selecting his seed.
Increase bis yield at least 15 per cent. This
would, he concludes, mean a gain of per
haps 160,000,000 on the American crop.
The Department of Agriculture has been
Interested In the Introduction of new varle
ties of oats from Europe, . One of them Is
the sixty-day variety,'- which is supposed
tn reach maturitv In that lenirth of time.
Tne Swedish Select and the Tobsk are two
other ' varieties which have demonstrated
their-great advantage vr many .of the
home varieties. Smut Is the worst enemy
of the oat crop, and the plant disease ex
perts estimate the loss caused by It at
14,600,000 a year.. It Is also a serious disease
of wheat, the annual damage bill being
placed at (14,000.000. These experts estimate
that plant diseases as a whole cost the
PP1 ot tn" United States hundreds of
nuiions ot aonars.

" City Gossip. -. "
Judging from the record of the South
Pmaha postofflca, the city hem every reason
to be satisfied with its degree of prosper
ity. . The, postal receipts of 1909 show an
increase of 50.7 per cent over 1908. . To get
this rate eight months were compared, be
ginning with April and Including Novem
ber.'1 Such an Increase will mean a sub
stantial addition to the salary of the post
master. The month of November showed In actual
cash received $14,976.71, as compared with
19,136 71 last year. This la an Increase of
68.6 per cent. One reason for the large
increase is that the Cudahy Packing com
pany, whioh has had its general offices In
South Omaha since April,, has bought all
Its supply of stamps at the local office.
The postage for this company alone
amounts to $2,000 or more each month.
The postmaster Is well pleased with the
showing of the local office.
The Christmas mailing seaaon for pack
ages is at hand and the postmaster wishes
to call to the attention of patrons that
only the registered packages are likely to
reach their destination promptly and safely.
The other mail packages are subject to the
decays of the crowded season. A hand
receipt will be given each purchaser of
the registry privilege. A duplicate receipt
from the parties receiving the package
will show that It has arrived safely.
Lee Pike Injured by u. Pike.
Lee Pike, Thirtieth and V streets, was
seriously Injured by the thrust of a pike
pole in the hands of a fellow workman at
the Cudahy Ice houses yesterday evening.
He and several others In the gang were
using pike poles to drive the floating Ice
along the run, when one of the workmen
slipped and his pole with a sharp barb
plunged into Pike's leg, tearing the flesh
and splintering the bones of the shin. The
Injury waa painful and the wound bled
seriously. The man waa taken to the
South Omaha hospital In an ambulance.
After examination the doctors thought
that the wound would cause little more
than a temporary disability.
, Ice Harvest I'nder Way.
The Cudahy Packing company has begun
the annual harvest of Ice at Seymour lake.
The men have been cutting slnoe Mon
day morning on an Ice field of the finest
quality of ten and eleven-Inch. ice. The
weather conditions have been exception
ally good for so early a point In the winter
season. The Ice houses were made read"
before the first suggestion of winter. Many
men are now employed and It la estimated
that over half the crop can be harvested
In two weeks. The first cutting of the
available Ice at Seymour lake does not
usually fill the houses. It will come near
doing it this year on account of its good
thickness.

The Big Horn Basin now furnishes the greatest, opportunities in the world for farmers, and
especially farm- renters to secure fine irrigated farms at the mere cost of the water cheaper
than paying rent in any locality. Crops are certain, and often a single crop can be made to
pay for the farm.
The Big Horn Basin has more water power than the state of Massachusetts; plenty of timber
for the settlers; enough coal to supply the needs of the west for' generations, and this mostly
underlying government lands that may be bought at the government price. It has an almost
unlimited supply of sulphur, mica, asphalt and cement materials; also copper mines, silver, gold
and lead mines, oil wells producing the highest grade oil produced in the United States, and
