Congrewnan Keavis was atked by
Senator Johnon to apeak for the
delegation ami he presented the name
of Mr. Harrison aa one eminently
qualified for the position which was
recently created by coimress in vot
ing fl.OOO.iWO for a I'nited Statei
exihibit and providing for three com
misisonrrs for one year, at a salary
of $7,500 each.
Has Good Chance.
While the president would not
commit himself, it is believed Har
rison stands a good chance for ap
pointment. Colonel Collier of California, who
was the head of the San Diego ex
nosition which was conceived and
carried out under the greatest diffi
culties, it is thought, will be ap
pointed by the president as director
general of the United States com
mission. In view of the fact that
the exposition is to. be held next
year it is necessary that the appoint
ment of the commissioner be made
right away as an official of the Bra
zilian government is in Washington
with a view of vjsiting boards of
trade, chambers of commerce, state
legislatures wherever in session to
create interest in the forthcoming
exposition.
Harrison Well Qualified.
Mr. Harrison is especially equip
ped for this position having been tn
Spanish American countries more
than 10 times and has lectured upon
hundreds of occasions to commercial
and educational bodies on the grow
ing importance of trade between
Spanish-American countries and the
United States.
Supplementing the presentation of
Mr. Harrison's name yesterday Mr.
Keavis today started a petition among
the members of the Nebraska dele
gation. It is understood that Sen
ators Kenyon of Iowa, Capper of
Kansas and Representative Riddick
of Montana and Kahn of California
are also pulling for Harrison's ap
pointment. .

Mr. and Mrs. Roland Kohlfi.
Roland Rohlfs is in Omaha for the
air meet. He and his wife motored
in from California unnounccd Tues
day and are at the Fontenclle.
A year ago his name ecnoea rouna
the world when he crashed in the
"Texas Wildcat" at Etamps, France,
while flying for the Gordon Bennett
cup. Two years ago- his name
echoed round the world when he
broke the world's airplane altitude
record at nearly 35,000 feet. His
mother is Ann Kathenne Green, a
novelist.
But Rohlfs won't fly any more.
He can fly. But well his wife
won't let him. That's the whole
story, he admits. .
"He came near enough to 'going
west when he crashed in the 'Texas
Wildcat' in France," said Mrs. Rohlfs
yesterday. "I don't intend to take
any chances on losing my husband.
I'm rather fond of him. He may
ride in automobiles and trains and
trolley cars, but not in the air."
So that settles it.

men to accept them during the

"Many men made our office a
loafing place and refused jobs that
they could have had at wages from
35 cents to 50 cents an hour, the
objection being that the work was
too dirty, too hard or did not last
long enough."
Becker told of Gage county farm
ers who advertised for two or three
weeks for men to shuck corn and
declared that Nebraska farmers could
use. 2,000 corn shuckers at the pres
ent time.

This Winter.
Lincoln, Kov. 2. (Special.)
Burning corn in place of coal may
be s very good plan.
Dut t lot of the boys out through
the state know a much better way
to meet the economic problem of
17 to 20-cent com, says State Sher
iff Gut. Hyers.
It's very pimple. There stands the
corn in the field. You shuck it and
crib it and shell it and haul it to the
elevator in town and get only 17 to
in cents a bushel (or it. Thrre's no
demand.
Rut hane the corn into some
thing for which there i a demand
corn whisky, for instance. Ahal
You grasp the idea which it per.
meating the craniums of some of
the worried boys who have worked
hard to raise the corn, and now sre
it almost worthless while the winter 1
looms and the mortgage shark
knocks at the door.
1'lrnty of demand for corn whiaky
at $2 to J 10 a quart t Even if a
bushel of corn onty makes a quart
of corn whisky, that's all right.
"Moat of our noble-minded farm
ers will spurn this thought," says
Gus. They'd starve before they
would do so dishonorable a thins;.
Rut, then attain, there are manv
others, 1 fear, who will yield to the
