Hog Program is
of Interest to
Stale Farmers

Reports from outstate indicate in-
creating interest on the part of farm
ers in the federal corn-hog program.

ers is causing interest to pick up in
the corn-hcg situation. Information
indicates that more than $400,000
her: alieady been distributed to grow
ers in egiht strtes under the wheat
program.
In the case of the corn-hog pro
gram, however, farmers in Nebraska
have Leon expressing the cpir.ion that
heme slaughtering of l.cgs will in
crease materially soon. Under the
provisions cf the adjustment pro
cram, a farmer may kill his own hogs
for home consumption without pay
ing the processing tax, which i3 to be
?2 per 100 pounds by February.
Those who cannot do their own butch
ering may hire it done without pay
ing the tax.
Peisons who slaughter hogs and
deliver the meat directly to the con
sumers will pay the required tax to
the internal revenue collector with
in thirty days. After that time, fail
ure to pay puts the individual in the
LUir.e class as the income tux dodger,
whowho commits felony punishable
by c fine ar.d federal imprisonment.
In anticipation of the home slaugh
tering increase. Director Brckaw of
the agricultural extension service has
called the attention of the county
agents and emergency agricultural
assistants in Nebraska to extension
circular 22S, which farmers have
found useiul in past j-ears in slaugh
tering. Prof. William J. Loeffc-1 is the

The frightfully mutilated body of Brooke Hjut, slain San Jcse, Calif., kidnap victim, found
Sunday a few hours before a mob of infuriated Californians lynched the two self-confessed merci
less murderers of this young man. The body was discovered by two duck hunters, flotiig in shal
low waters one mile scuth of the San Mateo-Alameda bridge. Man-eating sharks and giant crabs that
infest the waters of the lower bay had eaten away the bands and feet of the youthful victim and
identification was only possible by means of a pearl-handled penknife in the trcuser pockets of the
skeleton. This graphic picture taken by Central Press Association, shows the dismembered body of
yourg Eart, his skeleton covered witd a blanket. In the background can be seen the point on
the bridge where the young Santa CSlara graduate was clubbed to near death and his still liring
body tossed to final destruction. Gazing at the body are, left to right: Coroner Grant D. Miller of
Alameda county and the deputy coroner, both of when declared the victim had been murdered. The
skull had been crusded in. On the extreme right is Harold E. Stephens who, with Leonard Dalve,
discovered the body, in the bay and who will claim the $500 reward posted by Alex J. Hart, father
cf the dead youth. Kote the absence of the boy's left foot, snapped off by sharks, while the right
foot has been eaten away. From the waistline up nothing is left of the body but a skeleton.
Pinal preparations are being com
pleted for the presentation of
"Spooks," the three-act mystery play
.vhich the Junior class will cfi'er as
its annual dramatic production at
the high school auditorium, Monday
night, December S.
The ticket sales.? epensored by
members of the class, will get under
way next week. Prices cf admission
will be 15c and ZZc, with no seats
reserved. The cast ha3 been woiking
hard on the difficult scenes of this
mystery thriller, and Mr. Figley ex
pects to have them ready for the
opening curtain by Friday.
A mystery play is always entreat
ing, and those who anticipate having
a few thrills, and having cold chilis
?ent up and down their spine, will
not be disappointed in "Spooks."
From the time the first word is spoken
until the curtain, you will be kept
busy guessing the outcome.
The play is so cleverly contrived
and so startling in its developments,
that it is hard to keep from scream
ing out loud. It is impossible to fig
ure what is going to happen next.
However, the excitement is relieved
at frequent intervals by the injunc
tion of splended comedy.
But the entire play Is surrounded
with an atmosphere of mystery and
uncanniness. Out of the blackest
darkness, intensive and faint light
ing of the ghostly scene, comes the
?harp slam of a door, along with a
piercing shriek. These are instances
which will make you Hang tight to
your chair.
"Spooks" brings to the Plattsmouth
high school stage one of the finest
mystery plays of the last few seasons,
and it is hoped that a packed audi
torium will greet the efforts of the
cast.
