Big Drive Begun
By the Coyotes
And Jack Rabbits
Rival Member Getting Teams
Propose to Add 700 to Ak
Sar-Ben's Roster by 1
P. M. Saturday
They're off!
The Coyotes and Jack Rabbits,
. rival member-getting teams which
are to add 700 to Ak-Sar-Ben's ros
ter by 1 p. tn. Saturday, stalked forth
from the Hotel Conant yesterday
t afternoon in search of prey.
When the smoke cleared away
late yesterday afternoon the score
stood thus:
Coyotes 36 members
Rabbits . 7 members
Chicken Dinner.
The Rabbits plan to stage a big
Vvmeback today, however. During
his well-known period of financial re
trenchment the Rabbits have no de
sire to shell forth the necessary lucre
to buy the Coyotes a chicken dinner.
But this they must do if they
lose. lor by agreement the Coy
otes must buy the Rabbits a' dinner
if the Rabbits bring in the most new
members, and the Ribbits, in turn,
must provide food for their rivals,
should the rivals be the most suc
cessful.
The dinner is to be given at the
South Side stock exchange next
week, and neither team expects to
pay for it.
Early reports of the drive indicate
that Omaha business men are re
sponding splendidly to efforts of the
membership hustlers and that King
Ak's membership will greatly exceed
that of last year, as a result of this
drive, according to Secretary Gard-
secretary is ouiguuic.
Indeed Mr. Gardner predicts that
the Coyotes will be a howling suc
cess, and that the Jack Rabbits will
be er, well, at least a running suc-
cess.
L Membership in the rival teams is
r-as follows:
Co votes: Doc Frye, captain; War
ren Blackwell. Elmer Roseneren. A,
F. Rasp, William VonKrug, G. W.
Elrod, Art Rpgers, Porter Allan,

Omaha Is Using
More Water This
Year Than Last
Daily Consumption Increased
Three Gallons for Each
Person Improvements
In Gas Plant Planned.
Increase of city water consumption
in Omaha this year amounts approx
imately to three gallons a day for
each person more than the average
daily consumption ot last year.
This was deduced - from figures
submitted by General Manager R. B
Howell to the Metropolitan Utilities
board yesterday afternoon. Mr,
Howells report showed that lor tne
year ended June JO, Wil, the aver
aee daily consumption was 24,866,
667 gallons, as against an average of
24,270,000 for the year ending June
30, 1920. This is an increase of
about 600,000 gallons a day for the
city.
Gas Send-Out Increased.
The daily average of gas send-out
for the year ending June 30, 1921,
was 3,882,124, as against an average
of 3.659,600 for the year ended June
30, 1920, which shows a substantial
increase.
Mr. Howell presented to the board
a report from C. D. Robison, operat
ing engineer of the municipal gas
works, recommending improvements
which will cost $115,300, estimated.
The matter was referred to the com
mittee on construction for investiga
tion and report.
The principal item of the proposed
gas plant improvements is a new 11
foot carburetted water gas set of
modern design, to cost about $70,000.
The improvements as outlined would
give the plant a capacity of 6,000,00
cubic feet per 24 hours.
., Week's Ice Sales $9,343.
During the week ended July 12.
the municipal ice plant yielded 1,020
tons of ice. Total ice sales for the

Tractor Fails to
Cut Demand for
Veterinarians
Work Has Spread to Care of
Cattle, Swine and Sheep as
Well as Horses, Conven
tion Speaker Says.
The motor car and tractor have not
reduced the demand for the services
of veterinary surgeons, David S.
White of Columbus, O., pointed out
to the Missouri Valley Veterinary as
sociation at the Hotel Rome yester
day afternoon. Whereas once only
horses were considered worthy of
medical treatment, now the work of
prevention and cure of disease nas
spread to cattle, swine, sheep and
even chickens.
Animals are worth more now and
scientific knowledge also has in
creased so that great savings can be
accomplished by proper care, it was
explained. Prof. H. R. Smith, an ex
pert in animal husbandry from the
University of Nebraska, showed mo
tion pictures of work he has been
doiiid in Chicago in connection with
the nation-wide fight on tuberculosis
among farm animals.
75,000 Herds Under Inspection.
There are now 75,000 herds of
cattle under inspection for this dis
ease, and those that are found to be
infected are killed. Federal and
state appropriations amounting to
more than $4,000,000 are used to re
imburse farmers for part ot tneir
loss.
One-tenth of the hogs in Ameri
ca are infected with tuberculosis,
Professor Smith stated, which they
acquire from drinking milk from
tubercular cows. The disease is be
ing fought among cattle as this is
considered the source from which it
spreads. Strict inspection of dairy
herds is saving many human lives, he
said, as tuberculosis is sometimes
conveyed to children through poor
milk. He predicted that within 10
years this danger would be almost
eliminated.
