THE BEE OPEN SESSION ON | SALOON LICENSES Joe Hammel is the Middle Man and Throws Wit and Humor Into the Meeting. SOME SIGNS MUST COME DOWN The city commissioners tried the in- novation of sitting in open session ! while passing upon twenty saloon ap- | plications which were granted. The | idea of throwing the doors open to| the world and his brother proved | successful, so much so that it may be tried again during the week. Harry Z. Rosenfeld, 1024 Douglas street, and the Otto Liquor company at 1123 Douglag street, were granted licenses upon conditions that they remove all ob- jectionable signs from thelr bulldings Commissioner Hummel took egceptions to one large sign which referfed to lowa. “Every time we fellows go to Council Bluffs we are pinched. Why cater to Councll Bluffs?’ asked Mr. Hummel Joe Hummel a Wit Commissioner Hummel was interlocutor of the meeting and was equal to the task., He passed upon points of law and injected flashes of bumor which seintil- lated and reverberated llke sparks from the anvil of a village blacksmith. A leense was granted to Chris Paul- sen, 1119 Douglas street, two doors east of the Otto Liquor company's bottle | goods station. Applications of Carl Hansen, 224 North & Bixteenth street, and Frank Berg, 702 North Sixteenth street, were held up on accounts of compiaints received by Com- missioner Kugel, Hearing on the protest against the ap- plication of Rome Miller, Sixteenth and Jackson streets, was set for next Tuos | day morning at 10 o'clock.

Postoffice Force Will Work Overtime for the Xmas Rush| Postmaster Wharton has decided to avold a Christmas jam in the Omaha postoffice this year. Fe says there is no sense in having Christmas packages and Christmas cards delayed three or was | “We will work the postoffice clerks trom twelve to fourteen hours & dey all mext week,” he sald, “Instead of their usual elght. I have arranged for the automobile delivery trucks used in the parcel post service to work till 10 o'clock every night instead of quitting at 4 p. m. as they do mow, ““However,” concluded the postmaster, “we shall not work on Sunday. 1 think everything will be right up to time so that clerks and carriers can be free that day to attend divine services,” The extra work Is welcomed by practi- cally all the workers, because it means & substantial bit of extra Christinas money in their pay envelopes. “The Christmas mail this year much heavier already than at this time last yeur," sald Mr. Wharton, “though there is o marked falling off in forelgn The great Increase in the parcel Post business more than . the loss in the forelgn mail” .4 In this connection it is notewerthy that, while parcel post packages are not taken at parcel post rates to Germany, Aus- |tria, Hungary, Turkey, Belglum and (northern France, packages can be sent (to all these countries at letter rates, & Cents for the first ounce and 2 for each additional ounce.

MARKET Omaha is soon to have a real hay market. The Commercial club has definitely thrown its support to such a move- ment, and has decided to appoint a committee to work out the details of starting such an institution. This is to mean a system of track- age where hay can be handled in Omaha. It is to mean a traffic de- partment that will look after the interests of the hay people in the matter of freight rates, claims, and many other details of this kind. 1t is to mean further, the establishment of & system of regular inspection and grading of hay that comes in. Thus hay will be sold as No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on, according to the way It survives the in- spection and grading. In short, the hay market ia to hold the same relation to the hay Industry of the state as the grain exchange holds to the grain business of this state and this agricultural section. Center of Hay Territary. Millions of tons of hay are ralsed in the trade territory or territory tributary hay is sold directly on the Omaha mar- ket, This is because there has never producers could expect to get the kind of treatment they are entitied to in a big hay market. The result is that hundreds of thous- ands of tons of hay is annually shipped right through Omaha to Kansas City and Chlcago, while Omaha consumers of hay have to go to onme of these markets for | their hay. # Thus, for example, the Stock Yards| company buys much of its hay from the Kansas Gity mi for consumption in the yards in Omaha, The absurdity of paying this extra frelght fér the haul | to Kansas City and back, and paying the extra middieman for the extra num- ber of times the hay is handled through this ‘bunglesome system is apparent. | e o—— i A Room for the Roomer, or & Rogmer for the Room.
