Greek Consul Gets Basy.
A Greek consul hss been sent to Mason
City from Minneapolis to protect the
, Greeks who are accused by the state labor
commissioners of. Iowa and Minnesota with
fraud In connection with the employment
agenoy business. The labor commissioners
are making war on a number of these em

Hearing- Up State Herds.
The state veterinarian reports that In
the last few years the dairy herds of the
stats at the various state Institutions have
been practically cleared of all traces of
bovine tubercukils. This has bean at
treat expense, but the state veterinarian
and the Board of Control have insisted
that it should be done, no matter what the
cost At Independence the entire herd
was slaughtered twice. The state has
adopted the policy of not buying any cat
tle from eastern states, but either raising
Hhe dairy animals or buying them in Iowa,
as It Is evident that most of the tuber
culosis was Imported. -
Coaatr Seat War ImaUaeat.
A county seat war In O'Brien county
has just been started on behalf of Sheldon
as against Prlmghar. The Sheldon people
filed a petition with l.85 names and the
Prlmghar remonstrance had the names of
1.394 Dersona. Th ..,. ii .

fight
Will Teach Aa-rlcaltare.
In preparation for the work of giving
the teachers of the rural schools of Iowa
some Insight Into the teaching of agricul
ture, the county superintendents of the
state will meet at (the State College of
inumuirt at Ames and go over the work
with the faculty there the first week In
June. The last legislature passed a law
requiring agriculture as one of the
branches on which there shall bs instruc-
Wot ladrr Caraegto Foundation.
The fact has Just been made public that
although the name of the State normal
school was changed to State Teachers' col
lege for the purpose of enabling that In
stitution to come under the Carnegie
foundation. It will not be able to do so
' 1U. th fact tnat onl' on. state
tostltuUon In a stat. can be r.cognlsed.
This will also cut out the state college at
Ames. There are a number of professors
at Cedar Falls who could secure th. h..

the rule adopted of recognising only one
. state Institution.
Assessors Are alack Pass led.
The inquiries continue to come Into
th. office of th. attorney general in regard
to the manner of assessing money and
bank stock and that office is preparing
an exhaustive discussion of the entire new
law to oover all mooted points. The assess
ors have In many cases allowed the usual
deductions from the vain. i .....
but the law contemplates that only deduc
tions for vslue of real estate ran be made
Aa for the assessment of money "in com
petition with bank stock." it is probsble
there will be very little so assessed. The
new law la reported as causing more
trouble than any ether of th. new ones.

Many Think Standard
Will Ask Rehearing
Closing Honrs of Supreme Court's
Term Watched for Some Move by
Company's Attorneys.
WASHINGTON, May 28 The closing
hours of the present term of the supreme
court of the United States are being
watched for some move by the Standard
Oil attorneys to stay the dissolution of the
company In accordance with the court's
decision. v.
In practically every hlg case Sn years a
motion has been made by the losing side
for a rehearing and many expect the
Standard Oil company will pursue the
usual course. As th. court adjourns Mon
day until next October, the effect of such
a motion, even If not granted, might be
far-reaching. The pendency of a motion
during the summer would stay the issuance
of the court's mandate directing the United
States circuit court for the eastern division
of Missouri to dissolve the combination.
Already the supreme court has given the
corporation six months after the mandate
reaches the lower court In which to dis
solve. If the Issuance of the "mandate Is delayed
until next October the dissolution need not
become effective until probably April, 1913.
Ptesldent Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham have not taken up the ques
tion of criminal proceedings against Stand
ard Oil officials. It is probable future
proceedings will be contingent upon the
way In which the Standard obeys the su
preme court's orders.

Make Your Money Earn 15rc
An unusual opportunity to benefit by Omaha's growth is offered bv the Oakridire
Investment company, a firm organized to build apartment houses on the profit sharing
plnn.
A beautiful site, located on south side of Vinton street, between 14th and 15th nnd
consisting of three acres, has been secured by this company.
Fourteen apartment houses of brick, with pressed brick fronts, three stories high,
will be erected here. They will be only two apartments wide, making all outside
rooms with plenty of light and ventilation. .

The plan of operation will be moat economical.
The bouaei will all be supplied with hot water and
heat from one central plant. Excellent Janitor
service will be furnished. Each apartment will
bring in from 120 to $23 per month, thus placing
them within reach of working people. Rents In
Omaha are high now. This new plan will give first
class modern apartment house accommodations at
low rentals.
$20,000 worth of stock can
be purchased by Omaha peo
ple within the next few days.
This is absolutely the best
stock proposition that has
ever been placed before you.
Where will you find an in
vestment or bond or mort
gage that will bring you a
return of 5 on your in
vestment? When completed
the buildings will bring in
at least $41,000 in annual
rent. Expenses and loss in
rentals will not be more than
$11,000. Prospective earnings
will be, $30,000, a 20 net
profit on $150,000 invested.
It is an excellent investment.
Think it over.
No investment in Omaha offers such rntiirna.
The plan Is absolutely safe, for the buildings will
be tire-proof and substantially constructed. When
you offer people an opportunity to live in a house
that is modern in every respect for 125 a month,
or less, you can readily see the economy of such
apartments as against the wear and tear, upkeep,
fuel, water and taxes of a single piece of property.
