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.
THRILLING RESCUE
IS MADE IN MIDAIR
Girl Aerial Stunt Performer Saved
by Joint Efforts of Pilots of
Planes a Mile High.
Houston, Tex., Feb. 17. A thrill
ing rescue iu midair saved Miss Ros
r.lia Gordon, Houston chorus girl,
irom death while more than 5.00'J
horrified spectators gazed skyward
at Ellington field, near here, this af
lernoon. 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.

DENOUNCES PRAC
TICE OF FEE SPLITS
"Traffic in Human Life, Depreda
tions of Quacks to be Elimi
nated," Says Ochsner.
"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.

surgeons came together in Washing
