ers Throughout Ne
braska.

Hastings, Neb.--Officers OF the win.
ter wheat growers branch of the
American society of equity, whose
headquarters for the state OF Ne.
braska Kansas and Oklahoma are 10.
Gated here, declare that the decision
of the federal court in Kansas City, i'm.
posing a penalty for the organization
of live stock pool, will not affect the
wheat pool which they have promoted
here.
Farmers are immune from prosecu.
ton under the antitrust law because
they are actual producers" said Ma.
tional Director Davis. THE differ.
ence between the live stock pool and
the wheat pool Is that the live stock
pool was made by comm ssion men or
brokers while the wheat pool is ex.
clusively the work of producers. There
is a decision by the supreme court of
the United States declaring expressly
that farmers may pool their own pro-
ducts"
The penalty imposed on the Kansas
City organization is $5S,000.

Air Ship Has a Mishap.

MISUNDERSTANDING great
bird swooping down upon its prey, the
Wright aeroplane. after the motor
which propels it had come suddenly
to a standstill, glided gracefully TO
earth Friday after having made two
successful flights.
The machine was on its way around
the Fort Myer drill grounds for the
ninth time in its second flight when
the motor stopped, sixty feet above
the earth and exactly in the same
place where the propeller blade broke
last September, which resulted in the
fatal accident which terminated the
trials at that time. In gliding to the
earth, the machine struck a tree. and
was swerved around with such force
that the skid was broken and the
right wing badly ripped. Mr.. Wright
was not hurt.
