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

MABEL C. JOHNSON.
Superintendent School.
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.

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

ston to replace men discharged from

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
