However politics may or may not

politics have not been adjourned in
the court house.
In addition to passing the hat in
ll.- treasurer's office, the shake
down of slifke!shas been extended
to the entire personnel of those
who may owe allegiance to demo
cratic favor.
The schedule of assessment which
is being imposed even down to the
humblest cmpfoye, is this: Those
who receive "less sthan $100 per
north, $5: those receiving $100 per
month, $10; and all who are being
paid- more than, $100 per month, an
increasing assessment as high as
$50 for the top-notchers. The only
!.ceptions are the scrub women.
. Hard Times for Demos.
..Those in charge of this drive for
the campaign dollars explain that
these are perilous times for demo
crats .hereabouts; that if any demo
cratic nominees expect to win on
November 5, they must have am
munition in the form of money, and

'hack those at the front" by con

The United States Department
of Agriculture, Bureau of Grain and
Markets, held a hearing at the Fon

which the proposed official stand
ards of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for the graduation of
oats were discussed.
George Livingston, who has
ci.arge of the federal grain super
vision presided.at the meeting. Oth
ers of his party who were present
were E. G. Boerner, G. L. Barton,
Chester Morrell.
The proposed schedule for grada

present, but in one or two points
there was considerable dissention.

quently class 3. which is the center
of the local market, dovn to class 4,
it was claimed would disturb the en
tire commercial market for oats and
cause an endless amount of confu
sion without any justification for it
other than to satisfy a very slight
technicality of the milljng interess.
Other minor discussions as to the
proposed amounts of moisture, dam
aged grain, foreign material and
other mixtures which shoifld be per
mitted in the various grades and
standards were indulged in to some
extent, but the proposed changes
differed but slightly from the pro
posed schedule and were of minor
importance.
Among the local parties who par
ticipated in the discussions were
Geo. B. Powell, chief inspector and
weighmaster of the "Omaha Grain
Exchange, J. W. Holmquist of the
Holmquist Elevator company, S. P.
Mason of the Nye-Schneider-Fowl-er
Grain company and Walter Fowl

A new treaty between the United
States and Italy provides that Ital
ians who are registered for service
in the United States army ami who
claim exemption because of their
nationality, may be reclassified from
class S, F. to class No. 1. This new
ruling will go into effect early in
November and many Italians, with
wives and families in the old coun
try, are returning to fight in the
Italian army.
This emmigration will make still
further inroads on the laborers of
Omaha. The men have been work
ing at the Union Pacific shops, the
smelter, and for the street railway
company.
If these men are drafted into the
United States army they will be paid
a dollar a day; in the Italian army
the pay is something like two cents
