FRIDAY. ZGUST t, r THE BEE: AY. KJST 9, 1918. THE 'Hk-UHA t ; SO UTH SIDE f OMAHA PUSHES TOWARD TOP AS STOCITCENTER In Receipts City Now Surpasses Kansas City and 'Attracts Notice of Government, -Bureaus. Omaha is pushing steadily to the fore as a live stock center. Records of all kinds are broken - weekly to such" an extent that trader-journals and government bureaus are regard ing the Gate City as the one which soon will surpass Kansas City as a center of trade and 'distribution. In live stock receipts it has already sur passed its southern competitor. More cattle, hogs and sheep reached This market during July this year than during July of any year since the yards were opened. Ke ceipts included 135,493 cattle, 287,672 hogs and 198,571 sheep as compared with 89,400 cattle, 269.536 hogs and 147,621 sheep received during July, 117. It was the first time that more than 100,000 cattle have arrived here during July. Not only were hog re ceipts increased more than 10 per cent over a year ago, but the average . weight, of 261 pounds was the heav' iest for any single month since Au gust; 1915, atid was Jhe heaviest for i..t.. iom ' juiy amic jo?. The fall run of cattle continues to . come heavily with indications that - all previous records in that line soon will be surpassed, s Patriotic live stock men have boosted production of live stock, ac cording to a report of the govern' ment bureau of markets, which shows a good per cent of increase in cattle, sheep and hogs sold during the last month as compared with the same month a year ago. Cattle receipts at the Omaha market were about 47,000 head more than last year, while Kan sas City figures show a decrease. Ihe increase in sheep shipments to Omaha was about 50,000. The following figures show how the stockmen are helping to win the war: Receipts. , Cattle. Hogs. Sheep.

This is the decision arrived at by Gen eral Manager Smith. Mr. Smith is of the opinion that women would be just as efficient as motormen and conduc tors, but contends that there are so 3iany other places where women en render valuable services at this time that it would not be advisable to put them in charge of the operation of the street cars Owing to more men entering the government service,' it is becoming .much more difficult to obtain help in the operation of cars. As a result, it is likely that within a short time the age limit of 18 to 45 years will be eliminated and that such men as can pass the required physical examina tion will be accepted as conductors and motormen.N 'Native. .of. Poland One of Omaha Men Entering tArmy . The happiest man in Omaha Wednesday was Louis Perlmuter, na tive of Poland, who entrained with a draft army contingent bound for Ber lin via a trainim? camp in California. Slay Pictured Kaiser. "To H with the Kaiser" seems to have expressed the, sentiments of a group of youngsters when they beheld a large poster at 24th and N street which bore an advertisement of a show by that name booked for Omaha soon. Not content with tear ing off the words on the poster, the boys climbed on top and tore off the head of a picture of the German ruler who was represented as in conference with the keeper of the lower regions. The entire full length picture of the Prussian monarch was destroyed-be-fore the group of spirited kids dis persed. . 1 V South Side Brevities Mrs. Pan!
