be filed to little above the surface

The fact that nearly all commercial
orchardists use this method proves
that it pays in reduced first year loss,
earlier fruiting and larger and better
yields.

IDREXEL PLANS TO
STOP JAYWALKING
Has White Marks Painted on Street
Crossings for the Pedestrians
to Follow.
HAS A PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT

The business Of educating the dear
public is a tedious undertaking, as
any seller of gold bricks or some
thing will tell you. The latest at
tempt to work upon the collective
mind of Omaha is being put forth by
the city in the interest Of better traf-
fic regulation.
Painters appeared on busy downtown
corners and produced glazing white lines
several inches wide and about ten feet
apart. on every intersection. The object
is to make a sort of imaginary pen. or
coop. for hayward feet and thus prevent
cutting the street catti-corner. or Jay
walking" as II Is more popularity known.
OF course there IL nothing to prevent
the maynard feet from strayins out of
the bounds except the traffic policeman
in the middle of the street. but he's gem
orally so busy that the pedestrian Is
nearly across before noticed.
Traffic officer Charley Chapman at
Sixteenth and Howard was standing on
the sidewalk watching the painters mark
out the paths, when would-be wag APP
preached.
Hey, Charley, what is this-have they
got you here to keep folks in the
straight and narrow path?'
Nope" answered Chapman. I'm here
to answer foolish questions
Commissioner Drexel said THE lines
extend from sidewalk to sidewalk and are
so glaring that when one steps out Of
bounds he will instantly notice II, and
remember the traffic rule about jay
walking. There's an explanation of the
working of the human mind which will
show you why these lines will be a great
preventer of jaywalking. and I'd tell you
what the explanation Is. only l forgot IL.
However. the lines work out we'll in other
cities. and It won't take long TO educate
the public not to Jaywalk' downtown"

Fleharty Says the
Jitney Bond Law is
Reasonable in Scope

City Solicitor F1eharty. who drew the
new jitney ordinance. believes the jitney
men would secure quicker and better re-
suits by taking the erdinancs into the
district court. rather than invoking the
initiative and referendum law. ~Ts
Mr.. F1eharty makes this statement re-
garding tho situationi "The jitney men
claim the ordinance would throw 100 mon
out Of employment. They have told us
that jitneys earn about u each day. On
that basis their annual receipts would
be about tssH.0oo. which revenue other
wise would so 10 the street car company
and would Yield the city s11.s0o a year
occupation tar. II has been proposed
TO asssss the jitneys a minimum OF $50
a year occupation tax which would
amount TO about 5000 a year IN the ag-
gregate. IL would seem that the jltney
men defeat their own case II their fig
urss may be accepted. As TO the bond
requirements. would say the 1900 maxi
mum for one death and a maximum liza
biiity OF $4,000 for any one accident. is
quite reasonable. II the protection OF the
