made by different councllmcn that They

With money tightness Increasing and
cold weather coming on, the packing

The work gangs have been gradually

to be paucity of cattle shipped In for can

News from the Insurance Field
Cramer and Byrne
Attend Important
Chicago Meeting
Guy M. Cramer and llarrv 8. Uyrae
left Omaha on t-'aturday evening for
Chicago to attend the most Important
casualty Insurance conference ever held
In this countr.. Todav the executives
of nil the biggest casualty companies In
the country, tho Insurance commissioners
ot all the states, officers of the National
Association of Casualty and Surety
agents and Its lending members through
cut the country will bo present at a
meeting called by Insurance Superin
tendent Kmmctl of Now York.
Mr. Emmctt recently made a very rad
ical order reducing the commissions on
liability Insurance to S) per cent for
general agents. This was resisted by
the llablllay agents, who quickly formej
a national association, which ha become
nn Important factor In the reduction ot
acquisition expense. It was In response
to the application of the officers of the
National Association of Casualty and
Surety agents that Mr. Emmett called
the meeting In Chicago.
It is reported that Mr. Emmett had
prepared an order reducing commissions
on personal accident business which was
to bo followed by similar action with
regard to surety bonds and other cas
ualty lines. It Is tho contention of tho
agents that'll Is unfair, to them to bo
forced to bear the jtntlro burden of re
duced expenses and that there should
be a reduction In tho expenses of the
home offices, particularly In the way of
salaries of officers, and If necessary an
Increase In rates.

who are in the kindergarten and the first

be asked to sing Christmas carols and

singing of the choirs. Each choir Is to
sing but one timo.

that the voices of thousands of Omaha s
Inhabitants can proclaim the crrlvnl of
Christmas day as the evening Is con
cluded at midnight by singing the familiar
strains of "My Country 'TIs of Thee." '
Unless the night Is cold and uncomfort

the radiance of the lights from tho
Christmas tree may bn enjoyed, but It
the evening Is chilly, the singing will be

Joseph B. Hummel, park commissioner,
has ordered the city park department to
reufse to give geraniums and other blo.
soms to the Omaha Klower mission,
whose members have for twenty years
carried flowers to the beds of patients In
Omaha hospitals. Mrs. W. W. Hoagland,
who established the mission over twenty
years ago next April In memory of her
daughter, Kin ma, called Mr. Hummel by
telephone for an explanation, according
tn her daughter-in-law, , Ethel Tukey,
and then went to the park commissioner's
office, where she waa told the question
would be brought up before the city couu
oil next Monday.
Mr. Hummel asserts that the flowers
are for the' public and that the public re
ceives no benefits when the girls ot the I
mission pick them, while the mission
girls say they only pick the geraniums,
and that these will die Jf not plucked.
The patient treasure the (lowers highly.
