Cannot Fire Bad Policemen
, Police Commissioner Ringer
spoke before the church Federation
at the First Presbyterian church
Monday night.
"We have some good policemen
on the force who try to enforce the
laws, and some bad ones who try
not to enforce them," he said. "The
bad ones have been appointed in
years past,, by the powers which
worked for the harm of the city.
And now they cannot be discharged
except by a majority vote of the
city council, no matter how ineffi
cient or worthless they may be."
Speaking of the hospital for wo
men suffering with social disease,
he declared it is'one of the greatest
reforms ever inaugurated in Omaha.
"And we expect soon to reach the
men also who are victims of this
disease," he said:

CO-OPERATIVE
GRAIN MEN MEET
IN CONVENTION
Expect 600 Delegates to Ab
' .tend. Meeting of Farmers'
Co-Operative Grain and
Live Stock Ass'n. ,
Many delegates are arriving in
Omaha to attend the 16th annual
convention of the Farmers' Co
Operative Grain and Live Stock as
sociation, yhich is being held at the
Hotel Rome. The session is to last
three days, November 19, 20 and 21.
Delegates represent the various
farmers' co-ooerative associations of ;
the state, ana J. vv. anormiu, w
ha, secretary of the association, said
that he expected an attendance ot
over 600 delegates, as they feel that
this is one of the most important
conventions ever held on account of
the conditions brought about by the
war.
Mr. Shorthill said: "There is go
ing to be a very decided readjust
ment of pur grain markets because
of war time restrictions, and those
restrictions must be removed, and
we must in some way get back to
normal business basis of market
ing grain. Another thing to be con
sidered is the readjustment or the
transportation proposition." Mr.
Shorthill said he diduiot refer to
government control of Jhe railroads
particularly, but to price conditions
confronting the 'middle western
markets who are subjected to the
long rail haul, in competition with
the South American producers, for
European business, and 'who employ
nearly entirely water transportation.
A program has been arranged to
cover the three days' period. Tues
day afternoon Mayor Smith deliv
ered an address of welcome, and
Walter W. Head of the Omaha Na
tional bank spoke on "The Future
Outlook." Tuesday evening the re
construction program is in order.
Wednesday morning the manag
ers and directors hold their session,
and in the afternoon Dr. Stanley
Krebs of Philadelphia and H. - C.
Filley of the College of Agriculture
at Lincoln will speak. In the eve
ning a banquet will be tendered the
delegates by the Omaha Grain ex
change.
Thursday morning Millard R.
Myers of the American Co-Onera-
tive Journal will speak, and the con
vention will end with a trip to the
South Omaha stock yards.
Fear of "Flu" Keeping
Many Children Out
of the Public Schools
Far causf s more, absences from
school than flu, according to reports
by the school nurses, who are now
investigating causes of absence and
turning in reports to Miss Charlotte
Townsend, superintendent.
There are about 1.000 more daily
absences than normal. Some influ
enza cases are reported, some plain
truancv cases, many cold, for which
the children are sent home; a few
cases of lack of suitable clothes
(these last greatly lessened by the
operation of -The Bee shoe fund)
and a large part of the absences are
caused byj fear. "I am afraid Jimmie
will, get the flu," say the mothers
when questioned.
The investigation is being rapidly
pursued and reports will be tabu-
j lated shortly.

from a safe "outdoor sport" in Oma
ha, as it was last summer, to one of
the most dangerous forms of crime.

automobiles were stolen in Omaha rwew discharged and five cases are v

auto thieves were arrested. Of these
five were bound over to the district
court and six to the juvenile court
and six to outside courts; two werei
convicted of misdemeanors, nina j
pending.
In the firs! 18 days of November
the record Is even more excellent.
Forty-two cars were stolen in Oma
ha and 39 were recovered.
