Important Ruling in
y Compensation Law

OF special interest to employers
operating under the workmen's COM
pensation law in Nebraska is a case
just decided by District Judge Cos
grave in Lincoln in favor of the Ne
braska Manufacturers Casualty asso-
citation, which had insured the defend
ant. A demand had been made by
an injured employee, Guy Ritter, for a
lump sum indemnity of $l1,477 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. A. 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
rights of all without court procedure.
The casualty association was repre-
sented by Attorneys Rosewater and
Cotner.

Heavy Rain Breaks
Heat Wave in West
Half of Nebraska

The dry spell was broken Tuesday

and northwest to Deadwood. The
rain was heavy and general along the
South Dakota line from Bonesteel to
Winner.
Along the Burlington's northwest
line there was heavy rain most of the
distance from Broken Bow to Ali
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 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

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 BUSH
ness conditions remain good and
warm weather continues.
The high cost of living will result
in considerable increase in necessary
expenditures next winter, however,
Leidy claims. ...
Contracts let for supplies TO be dis
tributed to the poor, recently made
for the year ending June 81, 1917, are
on the whole considerably higher
than those OF last season.
Coal, for example. which cost last
year 1892 per ton, will cost $4.lo I'M
der the new contracts.
Other staples have also advanced.
The mothers pension law is indi-
rectly causing considerable increase
in the number of claims made to the
county charities bureau, Mr.. Leidy

Mouse Traps Take
Place Of Tabby in
Omaha Postoffice

There are no cats on the payroll
of the Omaha postoffice. Postmaster
John c. Wharton has so notified Miss
Alice Cleator of East Claridon, o.,

basis OF a magazine article.
There once was 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 bet
ter position, or had eloped.
There was great rejoicing among
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 I'M
til now, it is stated, they have almost
disappeared from the office.

The Worst Thing For Good Roads.

Perhaps the worst thing which could
happen to the cause Of good roads
would be the building Of all those now
needed with no provision for keeping
them up after their completion, says
the Farm and Fireside. No "perma-
nent" road Is permanent In the sense Of
not needing repairs and upkeep.
Some charge for maintenance there
surely will be on every permanent
road. When issues Of bonds for better
roads are voted on this matter of main
tenance should be provided for.
In many cases the permanent road
will be far easier to maintain by the
ordinary tax levy than were the old
unimproved highways. In such cases
the new road instead Of adding to the
local burden will tighten it.
