I ! Recruits arc still pouring into Fort Crook. These are put into the re- cruit company there at first and later assigned to fill vacant places in other companies. Tuesday fourteen men came in from York, Neb., Jo join the Fourth. Though fheir uniforms have not been given them, they went right to work and were soon drilling hard on the parade ground. The parade ground is a picturesque scene these days with its squads of men marching and maneuvering. Most of the companies are well trained by now and the friends who come out from the city never seem to tire of watching them. These spec tators begin to appear early in the day and often there is a large group of them lining the parade ground. One Man Handles Case Tractor and Harvestor One man sitting on a harvester can successfully operate the harvester and the Case Oil tractor pulling the har vester. This is a saving of man power toward which many of the trac tors would like to work. Just as a man used to sit on a harvester and crack" the whip over his mules, so that man can today sit on his harvester, not to crack the whip, but to operate the throttle and the stearing apparatus of the Case. Every movement of the tractor and the harvester is con trolled by the Jevers which are readily within reach of the operator. This Case tractor also features a short turning capacity which enables the man to cut all the grain instead of leaving come uncut at the corners. By means of a unique hitch attach ment, the guiding is accomplished automatically, so that the machine drawn behind follows properly at all times. The J, I, Case people' are making a very prominent exhibit at . the Frerront tractor show. Restaurant Man Seeks to Feed Garbage to Own Hogs John W. Welch, proprietor of a string of restaurants, has filed injunc tion proceedings in district court against the city of Omaha and Carl Sorensen seeking to restrain them from interfering with his places in the ' disposal of their own garbage.

The city council passed a resolution June 2$ providing for the removal of rarbage tinder the contract system.

Plowing Record is Made At Big Fremdnt Show So bad were conditions Tuesday that the committee in charge 'of the Fremont Tractor demonstration de cided it would be impossible to con duct plowing exhibitions. The one tractor on the grounds that braved the gumbo mud was the Cleveland. Undaunted by the wet, this machine successfully plowed a large stretch of land eighty rods in length, hauling two fourteen-inch plows. Its track enabled it to plow at an average speed of three miles an hour. A test furrow was made while the machine traveled at a rate of well over four miles to the hour. Not only was the plowing quickly and cleanly done, but it was deep plowing, the land being turned up to an average depth of eight inches. The test was exceedingly gratifying to the rriakers of the Cleveland, for it dem onstrated that a tractor properly, de signed and constructed can be worked under the most adverse circum stances. Which means that the farmer who uses such a tractor can work every day, irrespective of the elements. and when he swore out a search war rant to aid in the locating of the liquor, armed with this, the police Tuesday found five bottles of stuff in the basement of a house a few doors away. It is charged that a woman, who has not yet been arrested, passed the liquor out of the Ritchie base men to the men, and that they planted it in the house where it was found. Paving Contractors Sue , County Board on Contracts Baurer & Donald, paving contrac tors, have filed suit for injunction in district court against the county board and the W. E. Callahan Construction company in an attempt to prevent them from carrying out a contract for one mile of paving let recently. They also ask the court to compel the coun ty to award the contract for resur facing and repairing a five-mile stretch of the Dodge street road, which they say they are entitled to by virtue of being the lowest bidders. It is the out growth of a paving row between Bauer & Donald and the Callahan company. Boy Hurt When Bicycle And Motor Car Collide A collision between an automobile belonging to J. A. Edholm, 2403 North Twenty-fourth street, and a bicycle ridden .by Eugene Flcscher, 2623 Corby street, Tuesday afternoon, resulted in injuries to the latter.
