EMPLOYES ASK
SCHOOL BOARD
TO PAY IN CASH
9 1
Finance Chairman Obtains
Tentative Promise From
Banks to Cash War
rants at Par.
Janitors and others on the pay
roll of the board of education
flocked to the county treasurer's of
fice Thursday morning, demanding
payment of their salaries in cash.
County and City Treasurer Endres
had announced Wednesday that
there was no money in the school
fund with which to pay salaries and
that they must be paid by warrants,
which probably would have to be
discounted if cashed immediately.
When the rush began Thursday,
Endres and C. O. Talmadge, chair
man of the finance committee of
the school board, called a hurried
conference with Walter W. Head,
president of the Omaha National
fank, and Fred Davis, president of
the Clearing House association, and
a tentative agreement was reaclvd
to. cash at par the small number
of warrants now being issued.
Members to Retire.
Endres told Talmadge that the
school board must shoulder its own
burden, after the startling condi
tion of the school finances had been
. revealed ;at the conference.
Talmadge said it would be only
a short time until all members of
the school board, except himself.
; would retire, and that under pres
ent conditions it was unreasonable
to expect men to carry the burden of
school board membership for any
great length of time. Their terms
expire in November this year. Not
one of the nine members - of the
board is likely to be' a candidate for
re-election, Talmadge said.
' F. A. Drogan, a member of the
school board for the last four years,
resigned Tuesday.
Bonds In Doubt.
To complicate matters, Endres
says, the $6,000,000 bonds voted for
the new High School of Commerce
building and several grade schools
can not be disposed of because of the
present money stringency. 1 he law
provides that the bonds can not be;
sold for less than par and can not
bear more than 5 per cent interest,
which makes them undesirable as an
investment at the present time, En
dres says.
Salaries of Omaha teachers oiv the
summer payroll total about $60,000,
which Mr. Talmadge says he be
lieves he can arrange with Omaha
banks to handle. "But what is to
be done next fall and winter, I am
sure I don't know," he said.
! ia taitYf1 - frt fife imui
standing registered warrants total
ing approximately $1,000,000, which
are to be paid out of taxes collected
this month. It was recalled that the
schools have been in financial trouble
ever since the revenue from saloon
, licenses was discontinued.

Onions Are
Cheap!
Buy Onions ! . The one food product
on the market today that can, be bought
at retail for less than if cost to produce.
The large crop this year has placed on
the market more onions than a normal de
mand can consume. Growers have al
ready lost hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, and will be discouraged in replant
ing unless the public comes to the rescue.
Onions bought now will supply the
home with' food of great value at a great
reduction in price, and will help keep the
price normal next year. '
Onions are healthful and nutritious. They
can be prepared in various appetizing ways
creamed, fried, baked, and thouldtbe used in soups
and salads. As a pickle they supply to the winter
diet many needed elements of value.
Save money buy onions now and
help reduce the high cost of living.

A "funeral home" ur.der that 6r
any other name is a nuisance. Dis
trict Judge Sears declared yester
day, in ruling on the injunction
asked by residents in the vicinity
ff 2118 California street, -(gainst
Willis G. Crosby, undertaker, re
straining him from opening an un
dertaking establishment at that ad
dress. Crosby earlier had planned to
move his business to 2018 Wirt
street, but residents of that 'neigh
borhood also protested.
"An undertatking estanlij-hmeht
by any name is undesirable in a resi

Scars.
Witnesses declared the undertaker
moved into the house O'l California
street at night and opened for busi
ness the next day, Sundy, when no
legal action could be commenced
immediately.
