Unemployment Not Cause for Charity Claim in Omaha Now Unemployment as a cause for char- ity claims has practically disappeared in Omaha, according to J. M. Leidy, county administrator of charities. Requests for assistance have dropped almost three-quarters from those during the- winter months, and no increase is expected while busi- ness~ conditions remain good and warm weather continues. The high cost of living will result in a considerable increase in necessary expenditures next winter, however, Leidy claims. X Contracts let for supplies to be dis- tributed to the poor, recently made for the year ending June 31, 1917, are on the whole considerably higher than those of last season. Coal, for example, which cost last year $3.92 per ton, will cost $4.19 un- der the new contracts. Other staples have also advanced. The mothers’ pension law is indi- rectly causing a considerable increase in the number of claims made to the county charities' bureau, Mr. Leidy avers, “In many, cases where the judge finds that parties are hardly entitled to a pension the suggestion is made that they can apply here for aid in case of great necessity,” Mr. Leidy says. “I find that in at least 80 per cent of the cases"they do come to me, and I feel almost compelled to grant aid, although otherwise I might refuse it. “I am not attnckin{ the mothers’ pension system, for I believe it to be a good thing, but it has not decreased othier demands for county aid.” TRl e Congress to Push~ l Big Bills to Clear Deck for Campaign Washington, July 12—Democratic and republican leaders in the senate will hold a conference tomorrow to discuss means of expediting impor- tant legislative matters, so that con- gress may adjoutn for the political campaign. » Republican senators in conference today appointed a Special committee to confer with the democrats on the subject. The democratic steering committee also met, decided on a legislative program and voted to hold the senate in session nine hours daily until it is completed. The navy and army appropriation bills, the shipping, child labor and corrupt practices measures and the $200,000,000 revenue bill were listed as the imperative legislation on the program. Conser- vation measures will be laid -aside until next session and action on the pending immigration bill probably also will be deferred. Kountze Park People Form Improvement Club The Manderson Street Pleasant Time club, more than 100 strong, met Tuesday evening at their rooms, Six- teenth and Manderson streets, and or- ganized the Kountze Park Improve- ment club. J. E. Carmach, 1623 Maple street, was clected president; C. J. Taylor, 1625 Maple street, vice presi- dent, and R. M. Brown, 220 Evans street, treasurer. Several general committees were ap- pointed and the club adjourned to meet next Tuesday night at the Uni- versity of Omaha, Twenty-fourth and ratt streets. All those interested in the organization and in the neighbor- tiood which it represents are requested Automobile Speeders Served With Warnings J. ‘E. Phalon, special motorcycle cop employed by the Omaha Auto- mobile club, on his first day’s work, stopped and warned fifteen violators of, the traffic laws. He reports that most of them promised to do better in the future. That he made no as- rests does not mean that he will not make arrests in the future, he says, and automobile owners are warned to behave or take the chances. Secretary S. E. Smyth expressed his gratification and that of the club over the fifes which Judge Kubat handed out to speeders and other au- tomobile law brakers last week. Young South Side Man Is Killed Under Cars Eddie Curran, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Curran, 1702 W street, was killed at 5:30 o'clock last evening by a switch engine in the Burlington railroad yards between Gibson and Omaha. The lad, who was employed as a checker in the yards office, was crossing the rear end of the engine. He missed his footing on the board walk and fell under the wheels. Curran was_a graduate of St Agneg school of the South Side and a member of the Shubert club. There will probably be a coroner’s inquest. BREEF CITY NEWS |MORE ATTENTION T0 HORSE RAISING Dr. 0. W. McCampbell Dis- cusses Profitable Prodquction Before Veterinarians, FARMERS MUST “WAKE UP” “Wake up, farmers, and give as much attention to the cost of rais- ing a horse to the working age, as you do to the cost of raising a steer or a hog to the marketable age.” Not exactly In these words, but in words strong with this general senti- ment, did Dr. C. W. McCampbell dis- cuss profitable horse production be- fore the convention of the Missouri Valley Veterinary association, at the Hotel Castle, Dr. McCampbell is sec- retary of the Kansas Live Stock Registry board. . He declared that it costs $104.06, by actual statistics, to raise a horse up from colthood to the age of three years, or the proper age to begin working., “The average man who raises horses does not know this. This is a deplorable situation,” said the doctor. Continue in Haphazard Way. “We still continue in a haphazard way to raise horses, and in all the horse breeding that is done through- out the country only a very few are bred with a view to the production of a higher class of horses. “The average man does not know what size or class of horse is best adapted ta all round farm work, and ;he result is that he raises all kjnds of hor! ) e best horse for all round farm wortk is a sound, active, strong, heailhy horse weighing 1,500 pounds of more. The larger they are the bet- ter, if they combine size with general efficiency. “The farmer raises his hogs and his cattle with the idea of getting them fit for the market as soon as possible and he usually knows just about what it costs. With the horse it is different; he raises the horse to Ig: used to work, and, since he expects to_keep him indefinitely and is not raising him for the market, he too often pays little attention to the cost of producing the animal relative to the value he is to get out of him:” Last Day of Convention. The veterinarians and their wives attended a ba.quet at the Hotel Castle Tuesday evening. Music and informal talks on the lighter subjects furnished the entertainment of the evening. The veterinarians do not like the phraseology of a certain bill now pending in congress- which provides that none but veterinarians be allowed to conduct interstate inspection of stock. The association believes this wording is not sufficiently definite, and they want it changed to read, “None but registered, graduate vet- erin.rians.” The executive committee has been delegated to look after this matter, . Will ‘Register Protest. The veterinaries are to protest to congress against some of the activities of the county agricultural agents in the various states. The veterinarians maintain that these county agents go beyond their province in attempting to treat animals on the farms and in the administration of preventive med- icines and remedies of -various kinds. The resolution adopted makes use of the following phrase: “And we pro- test against what appears to be a misapplication of funds appropriated by the Smith-Lievers bill.” The bill referred to is the bill cre- ating a federal fund to aid in the es- tablishment of a system of county ag- ricultural agents in numerous counties in the country. These agents act in an advisory capacity to the farmers, particularly with regard to the crops and domestic animals. In some cases they vaccinate hogs and perform other work of this kind, which the veterinarians believe is prooerly and peculiarly in_the province of the li- censed veterinarian, R. C.'Moore of St. Joseph was elected president of the association for the ensuing year. C. C. Hall of Omaha was elected vice president, R. F. Bourne of Kansas (gity was re- elected secretary-treasurer. The fol- lowing were elected to the board of trustees: D, . Miller,” Council Bluffs; B. W. Conrad, Sabetha, Kan.; R. H. Norris, Omaha; J. H. Scott, Princeton, Mo.; Joseph Hughes, Chi- Cago. ~ The 1917 convention will again be held in Omaha. Important Ruling in Compensation Law Of special interest to employers operating under the workmen’s com- ensation law in Nebraska is a case just decided by District Judge Cos- grave in Lincoln in favor of the Ne- braska Manufacturers’ Casualty asso- ciation, which had insured the defend- ant. A demand had been made by an injured employe, Guy Ritter, for a lump sum indemnity of $11,477 despite the fact that the wage percentage and allowance for medical attention had been paid as required by law, the plaintiff insisting that he was entitled to compensation for permanent disa- bility. A large array of medical witnesses testified, including Drs. A. F. Tyler and' C. Al Hull of Omaha. Judge Cosgrave held that the case was pre- maturely brought and declared in open court that there was no excuse for litigation in such instances where the compensation law protects the rightg of all without court procedure. The casualty association was repre- sented by Attorneys Rosewater and Cotner. Seeks Damages from Woman Jitney Driver Edward R. Wilson has\ filed suit in district court asking $2,500 dam- ages from Margaret Strantz, woman jitney driver, and her bonding com- pany, the Georgia Casualty company. Wilgon charges that on January 7, 1916, "he was severely injured when his automobile was struck by the Strantz jitney. He sues for the full amount of lia- bility under the bond required by city ordinance, Don’t Disregard Your Cold.

Omaha Sweltering on Crest of Most Acute Heat Wave in Many Moons It's hot, friends. You may have noticed that yourself. Tuesday broke the season’s record, when the mercury girded up its loins and climbed to 99 degrees above zero. It hasn't been that hot in Omaha since the summer of 1914, Last summer's hottest day showed only 88 degrees above zero. It was “some” hot out in the state where the corn is growing. Nine out of twenty weather stations in Ne- braska reporing to the bureau here gave maximum temperatures of 100 or more, as follows: Auburn, Columbus, Holdrege and Lincoln, 100; Fairmont and Superior, 101;; Fairbury and Grand Island, 102; Ashland, 103, The highest temperature ever recorded in Omaha is 107 degrees. Nebraska continues to be about the hottest state in the Union. There was quite a bit of rain out in the west- ern part of the state. Holdrege got a drenching of 1.52 inches; Hartington, | 1.33; Oakdale, 1.23; North Loup, 1.06; Valentine, .76, and O'Neill, .36. il Heavy_-fiain Breaks : Heat Wave in West Half of Nebraska The dry spell was broken Tuesday night by a heavy rain that was general over the entire west half of Nebraska. The rain not only gave the soil a thorough wetting, but cooled off the atmosphere, breaking the hedt wave that had been sweeping over the state for the last three days. Along the Northwestern from Long Pine to Atchison, a distance of forty miles, the precipitation was around an inch, with still heavier rains nearly all night from Chadron west to Douglas and northwest to Deadwood. The rain was heavy and general along the South Dakota linc from Bonesteel to Winner. Along the Burlington’s northwest line there was heavy rain most of the distance from Broken Bow to Alli- ance. Up through the sandhill coun- try and on the Loup City branch the precipitation was from one-fourth of an inch to one and one-fourth inches. At Burwell and for a long distance west and northwest the agents report an inch or more of precipitation. On the Burlington’s southern line there were scattering showers all the way through the Republican river valley, with an inch_and one-half of rain in and around Holdrege. On the Union Pacific there was heavy rain throughout all of east- ern Wyoming, extending into Ne- braska tu Sidney. Temperatures out in the state this morning, according to the railroads, ranged from 60 to 70 this morning, as against 80 to 90 degrees above zerg at a corresponding hour Tuesday morning.

Wharton has so notified Miss Alice Cleator of East Claridon, O., who wrote for this information as the basis of a magazine article. There once was a tabby who occu- pied the position of rat and mouse catcher in the local postoffice. She received no pay, however, except morsels from the clerks' lunches and all the rats and mice she caught. Her name was Polly. One day| she disappeared. She left no word as to whether she had secured a bet- ter position, or had eloped. There was great rejoicing amon the rats and mice. They increased | and multiplied. They gnawed into parcel post packages of eatables and waxed fat and sassy. Then the department sent on a bunch of traps. When these were put to work the rodents ceased to| multiply and took up subtraction un- | til now, it is stated, they have almost | disappeared from the office.
