Who Pays the Tent Assistant Attorney General Rowe re- celved a message today that a $10 check which he had endorsed for a friend had been returned ‘‘Not payable for want of funds.” On the Fourth of July Mr. Rowe was working off some of his surplus energy at the office, when a man walked in and asked him if he knew where he could find Fire Commissioner Ridgell. He said he had run short of funds and as Rideell was an old friend of his at Alllance hal‘ thought perhaps he would fix things for | him. Being a good democrat and unwiil- | ing that a fellow democrat and espe-| clally a friend of the firse commissioner should be without funds properly to ceic- ! brate the Fourth In true democratic | fashion, Rowe promptly told the gentle- man to draw his check for what he wanted and he would endorse it so he could get the cash at the Lindell hotel. The man did so and thanking the as- | sistant attorney general very profusely | for his kindness walked out, went to the | Lindell and got his money. Now the | Alllance bank on which the check was | drawn refuses to honor it and Rowe was hunting for Ridgeil this morning in an effort to see if Ridgell would make good for his friend. Settling Chase Problem. State Superintendent Thomas is finging some difficulty in carrying out his con- solidation scheme in Chase county for the reason that the people there are so taken up with the idea that they want to go too fast. Sixteen distriots in that county dsired to consolidate into one dis- Ariot. However, this would cause & hard- -ship on.some of the town schools in that locality and so Dr. Thomas believes he has arranged things so that eight dis- tricts will consolidate and bufld a school house of three rooms near Lamar, while the other districts will locate one near Champion. This will be taken up at another meet- ing to be held in about three weels. Crops in that section of the country, according to Dr. Thomas, are looking fine. “I never saw anything better,” sald he this morning, “‘and that section of the state is going to enjoy great prosperity in the next few years if present condi- tions continue. McGinley Resigns Job. F. 8. McGinley of the state treasurer’s office resigned his position this morning and quit the job. It is understood that Mr. MciGnley was not satisfied with the saiary he was receiving. It is said that he was doing tho work of the second bookkeeper and drawing the salary of a rtenographer. This did not met with his idea of things and he threw up the job. Requisition Issmed. A requisition was lssued this morning by Governor Morehead asking the gov- ernor of lowa to turn over to the Dou county authorities James Taylor and W. Howard, two men held by the Council Bluffs police who are wanted in Omaha for robbing Philip Buysse of §120 and a gold watch. The men refuse to return to Nebraska without requisition papers. Salaries from Fees, The state auditor has discovered a law passed by the last legislature which will allow the state board of nurses and the dental examiners to draw their expenses and salaries from the fees collected by the examiners. It has been discovred that an act appropriated the fees for the pay- ment of expenses, The auditor has held up the vouchers of several boards, which leave the fire commission, health de- partment, osteopath board, pharmacy board and certain fees in the food de- partment exempt from onslaughts by the ealary brigade.

Has Way to Locate The Diseased Hogs Fiftéen years ago Burton R. Rodgers, now dean and general manager of the 8t, Joseph Veterinary college, was at the stock yards in Omaha as a veterinary meat inspector. Out of his experience here at that time he evolved a plan for automatically locating and controlling tuberculosis in animals. This plan he brought to Omaha with him the other day apd presented it to the veterinarians at their convention at the Rome hotel. Dr. Rodgers years ago soliloquized as the hogs filed past him in the yards: “If 1 knew where you came from, and when and where and how you got tuber- culosis, I couid tell the farmer something of value to him. But he could not tell where the hogs came from, until one day a tubercular hog with a tin tag in its ear staggered past him. The doctor found the tag carried the name and address of the farmer that bred and raised the ani- mal. That gave Dr. Rodgers an idea, and since that time he has been advo- cating tags with names and addresses of breeders In the ears of every hog, so that certain areas or zones of tuberculosis could be located and the spread checked, South Siders Excel as Book Readers The monthly reports for the Omaha and South Omaha library show that the South Slde readers utilize oftener than do those of the north.
