fHE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. AUGUST 16. 1918. 7 ' Li f SOUTH- SIDE PRES. TAGG WIRES M'ADOO FARMERS NEED YEAR LOANS Says Decrease in Live Stock Will Follow Ji Longer Loans to Breeders Are Not Made. Utficers of the National Live Stock exchange, of which .W. B. Tagg of Omaha is president, held a special meeting m Chicago Saturday to dis cuss the situation which breeders and growers of cattle are in because of Hie present condition of the market. Ay a result, President Tagg has wired to :?ecretary McAdoo urging some lclaxation of financial restrictions on oanks and sufficient extension of credit to cattle growers to prevent excessive aim premature liquidation Representatives of the Omaha. Chi cago. St. Louis, Kansas City, St josepn anu Sioux city yards were present at the meeting. The message drawn up emphasizes the importance ot Helping the tarmer to raise breed ing herds by advancing him the money. His inability to get loans for a longer period than six months discourages raising of stock cattle, it is said. It is stated that unless spe cial attention is given to the matter there will be a big decrease in cattle production within the next two years. Copies of the message were sent to Secretary of Agriculture Houston, Food Administrator Hoover, and W. G. P. Harding, governor of the Fed eral Reserve board. Board of Three in Charge. The plan of aiding the farmers has not been definitely worked out. A board, of three with at least one ex perienced cattle man may be appoint ed to distribute government funds where they will do the most good. It is not thought that the money will be handled through any special gov ernment bank already organized such es the Federal Reserve bank. It will be loaned on good security for a year's time. Notice to Stock Shippers. Commission men of the Omaha Live Stock exchange have issued the following notice to their patrons who t chip live stock by auto trucks: Farmer who ship lle stock to market by wagon or motor truck will receive their returns from same much more quickly and safely If they will either by letter or In per son leave their names and addresses with their commission firms. Cattle, hogs and heep are worth a lot of money these days ,and carelessness in notifying of ownership frequently results In delaying for several days the sending of returns (or siock ship ped and sold here. .

The action ot the last legislature of Nebraska making the office of County Superintendent of Public Instruction a Non-partisan office, was long step in the rittht direction. Partisan politics should not play any part in the manage ment of our public schools. In counties .. like Douglas, a Superintendent of Schools j has very little to do with the schools : of the city, their duties sre almost en- t re v that of looking aner me scnoom r outside of the city limits of Omaha, whose schools are under separate man agement. One of the candidates for the Non-partisan nomination for Superintendent in Douirlas county at the coming primaries is Mabel C. Johnson of Waterloo, who is particularly adapted for this position. She was bom and raised in this county, and is a real Douglas county product She has been teacher in the schdWs of this eounty for fourteen years, having taught both in town and rural schools. She is thoroughly conversant with every phase, and requirement of the schools of the eounty. She is highly spoken of as an orgautier and a woman of strong executive ability. All down through the ages woman s in fluence hss done much to mold the char acter of the ehlld. Public opinion has come to consider that the office of Sup erintendent of Schools is largely m woman's sphere. As an evidence of this fact, it is only necessary to know that o-er aeventy-flve per cent of the County Superintendents in Nebraska are women. It will be well to bear this in mind and when yon come to east your ballot on Primary Day, no mistake will be made in placing your cross after the name of Mabel C. Johnson. assssssssss j Row in Yards Caused By Shipping Order x Issued Yesterday Quite a row has been raised in the live stock yards as a result Omaha of aiuorder issued yesterday, and to go in effect tday, compelling com mission men to leave their order's for cars at the office of the railroads be fore 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. This is two hours earlier than before the war and has been done, according to E. E, Grimes, joint agent at the yards for t lie railroads, to promote greater efficiency in shioping through out the state. The order affects all live stock centers. "It is not an arbitrary order," stated Mr. Grimes yesterday, "but will mean greater efficiency in trans portation throughout the state. When the trains leaving Omaha are delayed an hour or two because of tardiness in loading live stock, it means that freight 'trains through out the whole of Nebraska are de layed at least an hour. It is not a hardship, because 99 per cent of the men know by 10 o'clock in the morn-- ing how many cars they will need. Although commission men will, of course, have to accept-the order it is regarded as arbitrary and it is said that it will cause some teal hardship to dealers. After the roads were taken over by the government the original time was changed to one hour earlier. The order provides that the orders for cars must be- absolutely complete, including the pen and block number, actual number of cars wanted, actual number of head to be loaded, the destination, name 6f the railroad and other necessary details. No change in orders will be accepted after 2:30 o'clock, and orders not complete by that time will have to wait over for morning. Omaha will suffer less than other markets since it has a teputation for shipping earlier and has better train service. Selective Men Are Guests of Chamber of Commerce A party of 80 Omaha slcctive men took luncheon and were entertained at the Chamber of Commerce at noon Thursday. The party consisted of 64 men who will take special radio and sienal work at the University of Ne braska at Lincoln and of IS men who are going to Camps Dodge and Fun ston to replace men discharged from those cantonments. J. A. C. Kennedy was the Speaker at the luncheon. Music was furnished by a quartet. Comfort kits were given out to the men ty women ot the Red Cross Canteen service. At 12:45 the men marched to the Burlington station in parade forma tion, led by a band and by members of the Soldiers' Welfare committee and the draft boards.
