Connie Mack Only Man Dith NerUe
Enough to Ride With Bourgeois

Henry ]. Bourgeois. hacker OF the Bour-
gels team In the Greater Omaha league,
once lived In Milwaukee. He was well
known In Milwaukee. There's a reason,
as the late lamented Mr.. Post said on his
billboards.
For Bourgeois owned a trotting mare
that was about the frtskiest. wild. un-
ruly. untamed. turbulent. violent and un-
restrained steed that ever wore steel
shoes. Also Bourgeois was regarded by
the safety-first believing citiEens AZ the
most reckless. rash. needless. imprudent.
improvident and indiscreet driver ever
permitted TO roam at large.
Bourgeois chief delight In life Was to
hitch his mare to smart rig and pilot
her around the streets OF Milwaukee at
a clip that would make Ralph De Palma
turn green with envy and start the
peaceful pedestrians 20 scaling the near

Earl Caddock and
Hussane Matched to
Meet in the Bluffs

Earl Caddock. the Anita. Ia. grappler,
and Youslff Hussane, the terrible Turk.
have been matched TO wrestle mt Council
Bluffs on April II. While no official an
nouncement OF the match has been made
az yet. the news IL current in. local wrest-
ling circles and believed to be authentic.
Caddock and Hussane were matched
once before to meet in the Bluffs on
February I. but illness OF Caddock forced
a postponement of the event. Omaha
fans would like to see caddock and Hus,
sane tangle as such a match would give
a good line on Caddocks prowess.
Caddock. II 10 said. now weighs over 100

mean that Earl will not be handicapped

who makes a favorable impression IN tho
eyes OF Bourgeois will likely set a chance

one OF the best base bali boosters in the
country and he never misses a chance 10

SMITH BACK FROM MEETING
Secretary of Omaha Driving Club
Returns from Assembly of Great
Western Circuit Secretaries.
EVENTS WILL BE UNIFORM
ny RUSSELL PHELPS.

Horsemen and harness racing patrons
and devotees in this section Of the coun.
try are unanimously OF the opinion that
this will be the greatest year in the his
tory OF Nebraska for the sport OF
kings"
There Is no escaping the fact that pros.
poets never looked brighter for the har.
ness racing game, not only in the middle.
west. but in all sections of the country.
And there never was q season in the
annals of harness racing in the middle
west when the prospects loomed up so
favorably for Omaha to shine-and shine
brightly-in the armament of real, classy
horse racing.
In the parlance OF horsedon1. it looks
like "blue-ribbon yea-" for Omaha.
Cold. hard. logical facts are presented
by harness racing enthusiasts as to why
the game this year should "go big" as
never before.
For the first time in the history Of the
sport Nebraska win be represented with
a track on the Great Western circuit
Omaha
stake IL Higher.
Never before in this state has q harness
horse had the opportunity to race for a
5000 stake. The highest stake hung up
heretofore was $1,000.
There are more high class record horses
in training at the present time at the
East Omaha track tban at any other
point in the middle west.
The classy harness racing which
Omahans this season will have the op-
portunity to witness was brought home
with significant conviction by the recent
return OF Otis NJ. Smith. secretary OF the
Omaha Driving club. from the meeting
OF four Great Western circuit secretaries
and superintendents Of speed which was
held at Galesburg. Ill.

Track secretaries representing clubs at

TONIC QUALITY IN WINTER
GAMES

"Winter games and sports should ne
encouraged as a public-health measure
in every community, country as well
as city, says DR.. I. J. Murphy Of the
Minnesota Public Health association.
t'For all school children skating
Kinks should be provided, where no ma
tural Kinks exist. Few people are too
old to derive benefit from coasting,
and no one would fail to feel the tonic
effect of sleigh ride.
Exercise out-of-doors regularly
and you will ward off pneumonia, win
ter colds, grip and many other dis
eases. Exercise or even riding or uriv-
ing in the cool air increases the appe-
tite, insures sound sleep and builds up
the general resistance. We should re-
gard winter weather as an ally. not as
an enemy. Exercise should of course
be moderate and one should be clothed
comfortably. This exercise is best
taken in the form Of games, because
the pleasure derived therefrom is as
much q tonic as is the exercise in the
fresh air itself 81. = h iss

REDUCE EXPENSES; INCREASE
PROFITS

Reducing farm expense is the easi-
est way to increase farm profits on
many farms. Good crops and goot
live stock ;alone cannot make farming
;pnuftable. In closing up the leaks in
farm expenses the cost of horse labor
and machinery should be carefully
considered. Cost accounting records in
Minnesota show that the maintenance
cost of an average work horse is 500
annually, land that the maintenance
cost of machinery is Is per cent or
more.
Two 160-acre farms in southern Min
nesota forcibly illustrate how nhueh
higher horse labor and machinery costs
may be on one farm than on another.
The first of these farms had 1925
worth of machinery and five work
horses; the other $1,S40 worth Of ma
chinery and seven work horses. These
farms had equally good crops and each
raised one colt The annual cost Of
machinery and horse labor, calculated
on this basis, was 1864 for the first
farm and 1867 for the second. Zach
day the second farm paid SLIP more
than the first In horse labor and ma
chinery costs alone. No farmer can
afford to keep machinery and work
horses that are not used proftably. Can
such leak be found on your farm?-
