' minister hns a lot to do with tho slzo ot tho congregation.
Thcro Is a certain deacon In Omaha who novor misses going
to church. But this summer It was duly announced In the church
paper that tho minister was going to tako a well earned vacation and
would bo absent all summer, and different ones would act as substitutes
Sunday mornings at this church. However, there was sickness in tho rev
crend's family and ho decided to stay homo, and ho continued his services
at tho church all during tho warm weather, but the church paper neglected
to state the chango of plans. Yesterday morning, when tho deacon at
tended church, tho minister shook hands with him and said, "Why, whore
haveyou been this summer? Wo have missed you from tho services."
And now he Is wondering Just how to regain his good record for attending
church; whether to place h'ls automobile at' the disposal of the minister or
buy a now window for tho church aro some of tho gdod deeds he Is think

PRESENT GARBAGE CONTRACT
How it Came to Be Made After An
other Unsatisfactory Experiment.
PUTS BIO BURDEN ON THE CITY
Coat nf Collection nnd Hanllns Is
Borne Ont of the l'nbllo Trenn
arr Gnrltaice Famished
Free to Hojr Feeders.
(Fifth Article of Series.)
Tho Interim of free-for-all garbage
hauling Immediately succeeding the fall
ure of the first McPhcrson deal, virtually
continued until July 17, 1911, when the
second McPherson contract became ef
fectivethat Is the contract with the
Omaha Rendering and Feed company,
under which we are now operating.
It la concldent that T, 11. McPhcrson
withdrew before tho expiration ot both
these contracts, In the first case because
obstructed by the council's action, and
In the latter because dissatisfied and sell.
Ing out his Interests to Ouy L. AxtelL
The lite of the second McPherson con
tract nbw In force Is to be three years,
expiring, therefore, July 17, 1311, before
which time tho city, it Is hoped, will
provide a new, modern and adequate sys
tem for collecting and disposing of all
garbage, Including dead animals.
Tho terms of the present contract cor
respond almost Identically with those In
the old City Garbage company agreement,
dating for ten years from January 1, 1134.
The essnntiat difference between the
present and rirst McPherson contracts Is
a very vital and decisive one and reflects
rather unfavorably on the city council of
1907 that vitiated- the former agreement
and substituted for It something much
less to the city's benefit.
Under the first McPhcrson contract the
garbage was colloctod and hauled abso
lutely, free of cost - to the city, whereas
under the present one the city pays ap
proximately 130,000 a .year for exactly the
same service And furnishes the boxes
and some other wagon appurtenances at
additional expense. As under the former,
so this one, tho dead animal disposition
Is a separate Item. The exqulslto right
ot carting off dead .animals belongs at
present to James' Whalen, who secured It
by submitting the most acceptable bid to
tho city.
Money In Dend Antninl.
The city does not pay Whalen a direct
amount for his services, but has the pay
arranged on this basts: he Is to receive
whatever he can get from the owner of
a dead horse, cow or other animal If
found on private premises, but It found
on public proporty, he looks to the city
for His pay. Of course, small animals.
such as cats and dogs, and sometimes
goats and sheep, seldom belong to anyone
in particular after death. Proprietorship
seem to vanish strangely with the last
fleeting breath of life and the city Is
usually "stuck" for the cost ot Inter-
ment. However good and faithful a serv.
ant or friend old puss or Rover may have
been, he Is generally forsaken in death
and left to the Ignominy ot a public
burial.
But Whalen has another source of In-
come, namely from tho hides ot the ani
mals he hauls, which is a considerable
Item. Ho skips the beast, buries the car
cass and. markets the hide. This burJat
of tho carcass, which affords a subject of
discussion, Itself Is another very unsatis
factory arrangement. Thus far no loca
tion has. been found which the adjaccht
resldFnUvarariloUB,to haVo converted
IntoVftK animal cemetery.
Whalen provides his own wagons for
hauling animals, so the city Is out vir
tually nothing for his equipment and ap
paratus.
Ono of the details of the present con.
tract with the Omaha nenrirlnr ..
Feed company Is the requirement that the
company supply the steam for cleaning
and keeping the wagons In as good a
condition as possible, and each wagon
must be cleaned at stated Intervals.
Lonir nnd Short llnul,
A serious defect In the present garbage
system Is the proximity on the one hand
and tho remoteness on the other of the
outlet stations. The garbage la hauled
to the company's hog farm In the east
river bottoms, Just across the Iowa line
Taking distance and character of roau
into consideration, this la remote tor
horse transportation. The dead animals
are burled on the northeast bottoms, on
this side of the line, and that also Is too
near a residential section of Omaha and
a, constant source of complaint.
When the city makes a new arrange
ment upon the expiration ot the pending
agreement, whatever it may be, it must
provide better facilities for the disposi
tion ot the matter. Ot course, the"bog
farm would not be too distant It reached
by rapid transit, train or auto; It prob.
ably then would he considered too close
at hand, as, In fact. It realty is.
In the winter or muddy weather the
roads In the bottoms are very bad, and
It Is then the present system assumes a
very archalo aspect as the wagons drag
wearily along tho heavy highways, con
sumlng time when time means money.
And, by the samo token of weather
caprices, It is maintained the hog farm
Is prevented from becoming a paying In
vestment It has no foliage for shade or
vegetation for green feed, and the hogs
suffer aa a consequence. They get noth
In gto eat but the garbage, cooked, of
course, to make It4 sanitary. And In wet
seasons their, grounds are usually sub
merged, so that they lose weight from
having to do more wading than Is good
for fattening htigs.
Those who profess to know say these
conditions so minute against them that
the contractors are not making big money
out of this venture, -which, however. Is
not of vital concern to the city It Is
commonly supposed that the company
was getting fat, Itsolf, in addition to fat
tenlng its hogs out ot a contract under
which the city pays, for the collection
and delivers free alt garbage to tho com
pany laid down at Its very door ready for
cooking and feeding' The company usu
ally keeps 8,000 head of hogs on It. farm
and has capacity f6r more.
