sion of Ad Convention.
MORE BUSINESS IS TRANSACTED
8im thnt Convention la 'orr at n
More Serlona Xntttre Tlinn Was
Formerly the Cnae nt the
Annnnl Meetlnira.
'Newspaper advertising brings home
the bacon." That was tho concensus of
opinion of tho delegates to tho national
convention of the Advertising Clubs of
America at Baltimore, Victor White told
the Omaha Ad" club at a meeting at the
Puxton hotel. "Wo went over the whole
field of advertising," he said, "maga
zine, bllboard, mail and all the rest and
finally met tho fact that tho most ef
fective medium in a general advertising
campaign Is. the newspaper."
White made a comprehensive roport of
the doings of the Omaha delegates at
the Baltimore convention. He said the
small delegation from this city was as
conspicuous as any of the larger club
delegations.
The national conventions aro becoming
more and more serious, he said, and the
change In the policy of tho national as
sociation In conducting conventions had
been changed from pleasure propositions
to Btrlct business by the precedent estab
lished when Omaha entertained the na
tional body. There was little boosting
of Individual cities at tho convention, he
declared, and probably henceforth the
boisterous advertising of individual lo
calities at tho conventions would grow
steadily Into bad form.
The Omaha Ad club elected tho follow
ing officers and directors at tho meeting:
President, Robert Manley; vice president,
Harry E. Mahaffcy; -secretary. Charles It.
Docherty; treasurer, O. T. Eastman.:, re

''When is Humane
Officer Humane?"
Asks an Old Cabby
"When is a humane officer humane?"
Iisks R. Tucker, one hackman who has
survived the tide of taxis and "autos fop
hire." Tucker says he turned his team
facing uphill on Farnam street and along
came a humane officer and informed him
that he was facing tho wrong way.
"Go on," said Tucker.
Then the humane officer flashed a
'big star" and Tucker turned hla team
facing down httl.
. "Some human officer," said Tucker,
'making these poor horses stand with
their heads down hill. Huh!"
A city commissioner who was pasting
told Tucker to turn the horses the other
-way, but the hackman, thinking of the
humane officer's star, refused. The com
missioner explained to the hackman that
the humane officers were also trafflo
officers and suggested that perhaps the
Federal Officials
Start Fight Against
Hog Cholera in Iowa
DES MOINES, Juno 17.-(Speclal.)
First serious effort to make a complete
eradication of hog cholera from any one
county is to be made by the federal and
state authorities In Dallas county, com
mencing next month. Dr. James I. Gib
son, state veterinarian, today announced
the first work will be In Dallas county
and gave out the following formal state
ment In regard to tho plans:
Under a special appropriation of $75,000
made by congress "for demonstrating
the best method of preventing and eradi
cating hog cholera," the United States
Department of Agriculture has under
taken' practical experiments In combating
this -disease. The appropriation becomes
available July 1, and worK will be begun
first In Dallas county, Iowa, and will be
taken up later In Indiana -and one or
two other states. In Iowa the work will
be done in co-operatlou with the state
veterinarian and the Iowa state college.
A few years ago the bureau of animal
Industry of the Department of Agricul
ture,, after years of experimentation, de
veloped a nerum which has been demon
strated by repeated tests to be very ef
fective in preventing hog cholera. In
many states this serum has been pre
pared and distributed to farmers with
the result mat large sums oi money nave
been saved to the farmers, but thus far
no systematic effort has been made to
eradicate hog cnolera. in tne work
which Is now begun the control and
eradication of the disease will be the
main object, tho Berum being used In
connection with the necessary quaran
tine and educational measures.
In the work in Dallas "county reDre-
scntatives of the state college and the
bureau of animal Industry will make a
survey of the county, estimating as
closely as possible tho losses from hog
cholera during the previous yearB, and
securing the names and addresses of the
owners. Through lectures and demon
strations at farmers' meetings and by
nnrannnl Interview thev will also explain
to tho farmers the object and nature of
the work.
The state veterinarian win issue ana
onfnrcn such restrictive regulations as
may be deemed necessary, after confer
ence with federal officials, to prevent
tho en rend nf the disease. The bureau
of animal Industry will prepare and apply
the serum and will undertake to control
each outbreak of hog cholera existing
in tho county at the time the work be
gins, and also fcucli subsequent outbreaks
as may arise during the year. Tho serum
treatment is preventive rather than cura
tive, and will be administered on Infected
farms and on neighboring farms with
h view to checking and preventing the
spread of the mtection. ,
DEATH RECORD.
As tho result of Illegal proceedings, two
restraining orders were issued against the
mayor and city council of Florence Mon
day by Judge Day. The enforcement
of two ordinances recently passed Is for
bidden until a hearing tn the case has
been held.
Elijah P. Davis asks that the council
be prohibited from passing any ordinance
appropriating any sum of money in ex
cess of the amount that can be reallxed
upon the taxable property for general
purposes, or for current expenses for the
year 1913. He asserts that the city coun
cil during the fiscal year of 1912 and up
to May, 1913, has expended and drawn
warrants on the general fund In the sum
of $4,752, and that the total amount that
can be collected and applied for general
purposes does not exceed tho aunt ot
$3,500. Therefore he asserts that the coun
cil cannot call for another tax levy.
Contention of Petitioner.
Mr. Davis In his petition says that $1,000
was used for Judgment purposes and
that the city council purposes to levy a
tax to pay the $1,000, which should be
paid out of the general fund.
Will H. Thompson assns that the
mayor and city council ordered five miles
of concrete sidewalk and asks that the
council bo restrained from laying It. Ac
cording to his petition two members of
the council were In favor of letting the
contract for the laying of the sidewalk.
and two opposed, and the mayor cast the
deciding vote in favor of letting the con
tract, which proceeddre he asserts is It
legal.

LIMIT NUMBER OF SALOONS
Charter Builders Will Place an Ab
solute Hark for Licenses.
PROVIDE FOR A MERGED CITY
Stutter Is. to tie Stronsjlr Urged In
Spite of the Fire that It Mar
UrT front Those Op
posed to rian.
An absolute limit to the number of
saloons which may operate in Omaha r
nny merged city will be fixed by the city
charter writers, judging from a provision
embodied In the "consolidation chapter"
of the new charter, This chapter hns
been reported by the general committee
ot five and Is being considered by tho
entire convention.
It is provided in this chapter that the
number of liquor licenses In the city of
Omaha "the maximum number aa herein
fixed" shall be increased by the number
In the merged city, but the number In the
city so merged shall not be Increased,
the excise board being specifically denied
tho power to Issue additional licenses tor
new locations.
Members ot tho convention Intimate
that another chapter Is coming to fulfill
the prophesy ot the phrase "the maximum
number as herein fixed" and that this
chapter will establish the maximum limit
for the number ot saloons in Omaha,
most likely with the number now holding
licenses.
One of the first questions to come be
fore the charter makers was that of tho
extension or restriction of tho liquor
traffic. Elaborate and detailed plans !
have been worked out by those most In- ,
teretted and the method emploied In ,
handling the business in several rltles ,
nas ueen citen.
While the action ot the charter com
missioner In fixing a limit to the num
ber of saloons In Omaha or any city
which may be Inter merged with It is
expected to draw fire It will bo strongly
urged as the sanest solution ot the
problem.
