Makes Excellent Showing Last Saturday at the Nehawka rale pavillion otherwise known as Heck's livery stable, occurred the sale of that wonderful strain of hogs the Hampshires, which are bred anu raised by Harry Knabe. The roads and weather were ooth against the sale stil much interest was manifest ed an more than half of all the hogs were bought. The wonder being that ill but three of the sales made were home people, demonstrating that the neighboring farmers knew to a cer tainty that the bred sows are well worth more than the prices paid. The average price which was paid was 41 and 100 per cent more than orne hogs would have brought had they been marketed at any receiving tation. Mr. Harry Knabe' is one of the best judges ot hogs and his suc- ess makes him as an astute business man for he has been able to make the herd pay from the beginning and keeps them paying all the time.

REPORT ON COST OF WHEAT AND FLOUR Tariff Commission Concludes Hear ing on Production Expense To Announce Result. Washington, Feb. 18. The tariff commission today concluded its hear ing on the cost of producing wheat in the United States and in Canada and tomorrow will make public the results of its investigation into the cost of producing wheat products, particularly flour, and receive any testimony on that subject. The commission will conclude its investi gation and report to President Cool idge probably within two weeks, lay ing before the president information upon which he can determine wheth er the cost of production justifies an increase in the present duty on wheat and wheat products. The in vestigation has been made by the commission upno the application of i he wheat council of the United States. The formal hearing today on wheat cost production brought forth iittle information additonal to that alreatlv before the commission. For mer Senator P. J. McCumber of ! North Dakota, counsel for the wheat council, presented the result of an investigation made by him in North Dakota and in Canada which placed j nroduction costs much higher than the preliminary costs found by the commission's experts. He also pre rented a report of an investigation made by the American wheat grow ers' association, whose figures like '.vise were somewhat higher than the commission's. Prof. Rex E. Willard of the North Dakota college of agriculture, dis- ussed what prices in their relation to the price of other commodities r.nd said the present tariff on wheat was effective to the extent of about 20. cents a bushel.

Miss Gordon, who formerly was an aerial stuut performer, was attempting to make a parachute leap from a mile high time when the huge umbrella became entangled in equipment on the plane. Diavalo, acrobatic airman, who was in the plane, climbed out of the fuselage and down to the landing r;ears, but was unable to drag her back to safety. Meanwhile C. E. Hanghorn, the pilot, kept the plane in the air, realizing that an attempt to Jand would have meant instant death to the girl. Freddy Leon, Houston aviator, went up in another machine piloted by Tommy Thompson. A mile from the ground he climbed from Thomp son's plane to Hankhorn's. He then worked his way to the landing gear, but even he and Diavala proved un able to withdraw the helpless girl back into the machine. Leon then mounted to the passen ger's seat, and using the auxiliary controls drove the plane while Hang horn climbed down to the landing gear and between them they drew the girl to safety.

"The buying and selling of human life, the depredations of quacks, the inhuman practices of fee-splitting are going to be largely eliminated through the work of the American College of Surgeons," declared Dr. A. J. Ochsner, of Chicago, president of the American College of Surgeons, attending the clinical congress of the Nebraska section of the college at the Hotel Fontenelle Monday and today. "Some fifteen or twenty years ago the country was full of medical schools that turned out so-called physicians and surgeons much as did the 'diploma factories' of St. Louis, of which we have read so much late ly," he declared. "The public had no way of telling who was educated and experienced, and as a result was largely the vic tim of malpractice. City dostors from these schools formed alliances with doctors in the country, and pa tients were sent in on commission. Operations were performed needlessly and fees split with those who had any part in securing the victim. "Many country physicians sent pa tients to the city doctors and sur geons who paid them the largest commissions. Even ministers were won't to occasionally come in for a rake-off. "In 1914 a group of representative surgeons came together in Washing ton and formed the college of which Custom With dependable equipment. Reserve space for 1 50 or 300 eggs.
