limit on the school tax levy in Omaha from 30

That looks like a pretty big boost. but It may
be taken for granted that the legal limit would
not be raised unless q corresponding increase OF

FLORENCE, Neb April 6.-To the

is a big question TO solve. and note only

plank in his platform on this subject

II the writer Of this article was TO be-
come a candidate for the city commits

plank for a large municipal farm near

best plan to solve this garbage question.

could be led TO hogs and all other. such
as dead animals, etc. could be rendered
out and the by-products Sold distrbut-
ing the fertilizer on the farm. In con-
necuon with this municipal farm. al
falfa. corn. etc. could be raised also. a
dairy herd would be profitable Along
with the hogs. steers could be fed and
fattened.

TRIP DRAYMAN ARRESTED
FOR "IMPORTING" WOMEN

Trip, S. D., Dec. 15.-The arrest of
Jacob Knodel, a drayman of Trip, on
the charge of violating the Mann white
slave law, grew out of a recent event"
here. 1t is alleged that he induced
three women from Sioux City to come
to Trip for unlawful purposes.
The matter created a great scandal,
and it was intimated at the time that
arrests under the Mann act were like
ly to be made. Several of the men in
voIved were given the third degree,
ard it was said that two OF them con-
fessed. The federal authorities believe
they have evidence that Knodel was
responsible for the Sioux CITY girls be-
ing brought to Trip.
The defendant had a preliminary
hearing before a federal commission
er and, as the result of the hearing. he
has been held under a bond of $1,000
for appearance before a United States
grand jury, which will convene in
Sioux Falls in April. Knodel is about
35 years OF age and has wife and two
children. FL.

Participate In Distribution
This Week.

Pierre S. D., Dec. 15.-The state
makes a special appropriation of $l5,-
900 per year, to be apportioned to the
schools of counties in which there are
state lands, due to the fact that no
taxes are received from the state lands
as upon other property, and thus the
general income Is reduced that much.
This sum Is distributed about De-
cember Is and is based upon the num-
Der of acres of state land in those
counties. No district can receive more
than $500, and no single school can
receive more than $3.50. Not all the
counties are represented in the list, be-
cause not all have this class Of state
land.
The basis OF apportionment Is about
2 cents per acre, and the following
counties receive aid this year: Ben
nett, $471.2S; Brookings, "a cents;
Brown, $30.74; Butte, $193.58; Camp
bell, $225.44; Clark, $153.42; Codington.

MUCH ADO AT YANkTON
OVER GASOLINE PUMPS

Yankton. s. D., Dec 13.-This city
has suddenly become the location of
extensive discord. owing to gas pumps.
Two years ago the city granted the
gasoline and oil dealers of the city
permission to install modern pumps
along the curb lines, for the use of
automobile owners. A few months ago
an Improvement wave struck Yankton
and the pumps were ordered removed.
They had been installed at considerable
expense and the dealers stood pat. A
test case in court resulted in a dis
move the pumps apparently was
blocked. Then the city played its trump
card, forcibly removing the pumps.
Now the affected oil merchants declare
the city has numerous damage suits on
its hands.
