oAKMAN AFTER DEBT DODGERS.
Dcvises Plan For Making County
Building Employees Settle.

A new plan for forcing the county
employees to pay their debts has been
devised by County Auditor Milton
Oakman. In the last Legislature ne
attempted to have a bill passed max
ing county officials liable to garnish-
ment but IL was defeated. According
to Mr. Oakman, he has each employe
who Is in debt, deposit certain
amount OF his wages twice month
with him and this Is paid TO the per-
son holding the account. So far, the
plan has worked splendidly, Mr.. Oak
man says.
Sometime ago, the wife of one ct
the employees in the county building
reported to Mr.. Oakman that her hus-
band spent all of his money each
pay day for drink. Now. Mr.. Oakman
has the employe come to his Office
each pay day, indorse the check and
give II TO his wife. The wife then
gives him SIS every two weeks for
spending money.

lFdf Cattle Drug, but Demand for all
Grades of Killing Kind Continues ACtiUe

nand in this department. The expert
demand for lard continues undated,
making certain that summer
ceipts OF corn-fed "mammies" will be
welcome in all markets. Lard Is to
the provision trade what gold Is to
the money market and the more ac-
tive the demand for this particular
product the more active will be the
trade in all of the commodities on the
list. While the domestic demand for
lard is dependable and one OF the main
props OF the commodity market, this
outlet, alone, Is not large enough TO
provide for the great volume OF lard
which results from the packing oper-
ations of an active season.
II will be seen, then, that IL Is an
active foreign demand for lard that
rounds out the provision trade and
enables the American packer 10 forge
ahead with the assurance that no
over-supply will result from working
his plant to its full capacity.
The weather is hot and sultry and
great care should be taken by ship

In overloaded cars. Nearly i50 hogs
went TO the rendering tanks at the

OF this depiorable waste might have
been prevented by the exercise OF
more cars IN loading.

HUR[BUT SAYS HE'S

Will Welcome Investigation, But Al
dermen Don't Take Lynch's
Move Seriously.

Aid. Thomas Lynch's resolution
calling for an investigation of depart
ment of parks and boulevards is not
taken seriously by Lynch's colleagues
in the council. The alderman has had
several squabbIes with Commissioner
Hurlbut, and IL is thought that he Is
partially actuated by personal feel
ings.
Il don't see how we can do any
thing about the matter, said Ala.
John Thompson. chairman OF inc

to which the Lynch resolution was
referred. such a resolution ought 10
carry specific charges, and this does
not. No one has seemed to be aple
to get any specfflc grounds from Aid.
Lynch. understand he says that the
boulevards have not been attended 20
in time. and that the Belle Isle bath
house has not been opened. We cant
go ahead and recommend inyestiga-
ton or Impeachment on any such
grounds as those We shall take the
matter under consideration, OF course,
because il has been referred TO US,
but | don't see what we can do"
I'VE allowed the boulevard to so
dusty one Sunday, because the dry
weather came earlier than usual, and
our material was net here" said Com
missioner Hurlbut. AS matter OF
fact we had no funds for this years
oiling of the boulevards, but we man
aged to get transfer, and had the
work done before the second dusty
Sunday. AS for the bath house, the
water yesterday was sc degrees temp
erature at four feet depth, and SO in
deep water. This is not warm enough
for bathing. and We had not funds TO
run the bath house from May till July
1. We shall open II June l-oa-beF-
rowed funds, which is the best that
can be done. But IL the committee
wants to recommend an investigation,
we shall welcome 1t. II can't come too
soon for u.s."

Rec. CROSS SEAL
PLANS ANNOUNCED.

New York. Nov. 16. PLANS thar are
expected to interest thousands OF
school children in the small villages
in this state in the anti-tubercn'osis
movement are announced today by the
State Charities Aid Association, agent
for the sale Of Red Cross Seals in this
State outside Of Greater New York.
In an effort to sell Red Cross Christ
mas seals this year in practically
every village Of the State, the State
agent has sent out an appeal to school
principals in five hundred villages to
organize local committees for the sale
of the seals.
The State Charities Aid Association
says that with this plan the seals will
be sold in three times as many VII
lagos as were reached last year. the
school principal in the small village is
believed to be freer from political,
social and religious bias than almost
any other public worker and for that
reason are considered about the best
person to organize such committee
in villages that have not been reached
thus far by the Anti-Tuberculosis
Movement.
It Is suggested that the pupils. espe-
cially in the rural districts. be organ
lied into Junior Auxiliaries OF the
Anti-Tuberculosis Movement and in.
terested in the sale as organizations
and not as individuals. The State
Agent points out that although the
Christmas Seals sell for only penny,
the sale last year in this state outside
Of New York City. amounted to near
