who have been in and out of some of the best jails in the world. Police who lack a sense of humor are the favorite victims Of this pair of World-famous clowns who appear at the Coli scum Theatre on Sunday and Monday.
 Several stunts get the pair in to difficulties and if an officer is foolish enough to lose his tenn per and put the pair in jail, their
 day is a success, The principle difficulty is that they are never jailed twice in the same city. One such experience in a city and the police refuse to put them behind the bars.

Price of Sheep

John A. Simpson of Oklahoma last December told the Senate that seven sheep were sold Swift & Company for $330 but that of this $2.55 had been de- ducted for insurance inspection and commission. The owner of the sheep returned home with a check for 75 cents as the net price for the seven sheep.
 MT. Simpson further told the Committee that the ultimate consumer paid $83.7O for the sheep. "On the Pullman" said MT. Simpson, T was charged 65 cents for two lamb chops-10 cents more than the farmer re- ceived for seven sheep"
 LABOR" published by the Railway BrOthernoOo, washing ton, D. C., states that it has ori- ginal documents in it's possession showing that A. A. Blakely Com pany sold one Estes sheep for S3.30 and that $255 was de- ducted for insurance and other charges. It also has the Blakely Company's check made out to Estes for "Only 75 cents."
 This same company sold the hides from these same sheep, on the same day, to a fur company for $3 without taking any de- auctions. They got more than four times as much for five pelts as Estes got for seven sheep.

All Things to All
 Men

During the past several weeks the antics of some voters have been amazing to say the least. Before any active campaign took place, one voter was as siduously pressing the support Of George Grigsby for nomina- ton as delegate to Congress. A. H. ziegler came along and the support of this man went to MT. Ziegler. MT. Dimond made a brief and harmless speech, and this same voter was most en- thusiastic about Dimond's can didacy.
 The question that we ask now is Just who would such a voter support?

Halibut Prices

Fishermen have been express ing general dissatisfaction with the prices-not altogether with the prices they receive-but the prices at which their commodi ' ties are sold retail. The Pacific Fisherman in a lengthy article defends the system by declaring that storage, freezing, etc., adds to the cost and that profit On the fish to the wholesaler is very small and not out of pro portion to investment.
 All very good. The fishermen Go not quarrel about the cost of overhead and they do grant that the buyer is entitled to a fair return on his investment. But they do object when they sell their fish for three cents 2 pound and then have their friends go to the same buyers and have to pay 25 cents per pound for the article. There is no justification in such eXorbi- tant charges. This example was given by a citizen of Juneau from his experience, last June at the Juneau Cold Storage.

GERMANS PRODUCE TOBACCO WITHOUT
 TRACE OF NICOTINE

Tobacco minus nicotine is pro duced from the leaves of re- markable plant raised in Ger many. This botanical freak is the reward of experiments con- ducted under direction of the Ministry of National Economics at a research institute establish ed in midst of the tobacco growing fields of Pfalz. Altho an extract from the leaves $ virtually as harmless as drink ing water, the smokes" made from the plant are said to have all the flavor of ordinary tobac- co.
 An unexpected by-product of the experiment was the discoV- cry that the leaves could also be used to prepare a Succulent salad. As if that were not enough the salad may be favored with oil extracted from the same plant, according to Dr. Paul Konig, director of the institute.

"THE FORBIDDEN
 ADVENTURE"

King Comedy will again blow his trumpet tonight at the Coli scum Theatre. The occasion is the arrival of the celebrated comedy. "The Forbidden Ad- venture" This brilliant produc : tion makes laughs in so many ways that a mere reviewer IS befogged on the shores of per- pleXity trying to number them all.
 The play is from the pen of Sinclair Lewis, winner of the Noble Prize. The vitriolic author of Main Street" and Rabbit has produced this penetrating story of childhood, the story of q child screen star, which has amazed the critics at this de- parture from his lconoclastlc theme.
 The cast of the picture ir- cludes Edna May Oliver, Louise Fazenda, Mitzi Green and Jackie Searle. The story winds up with Q happy reunion of several fami- lies and the departure of several respective kings and queens to their own "kindoms."

 WILLIAM THOMAS SHAW-He is about 5 8" in height; has 2 slight limp due to childhood accident; last heard of him he was following the mechanics trade: is about 45 years of age.

Doles

President Hoover declares that T am opposed to any direct or indirect government dole"
 We quote him again: He sees nothing strange lin the idea that federal taxpayers are con- tributing to the direct support Of 10,000,OOO Americans-mostly officeholders.
 He favors a Department Of Education" with it's mass of jobholders. He favors the sales taX-with several bureaus to crisscross to collect it with seY- eral thousands of clerks. He signed bills giving doles to the banks and railroads and unde- serving industries.
 For instance! You pay six cents tax when you buy a pack of cigarettes which goes to con- tribute to the hundreds of thou sands of doles nurtured by the federal government by useless, wasteful duplication of effort through bureaus in the several departments.
 Smoke that one for awhile!

Congress has curtailed appro- priationS for Alaska by several hundred thousand dollars in the several departments. It has dis continued appropriations for the agricultural stations for the sake of economy.

 As between the two there is no question which appropriations would support. Nor do you have to guess which one it is.

SPREAD TRADERS
SALES CUT Value
OF CHICAGO WHEAT
Sellers Make Simultaneous
Equal Speculative Pur-
chases at Winnipeg

Chicago, Feb. 5.-lP)-Slashing of
wheat values resulted Friday from
sales here by spread traders who
were making simultaneous equal spe-
culative purchases at Winnipeg.
Much interest was shown In state
ments indicating that Great Britains
omission Of import duties on wheat
had been more or less offset by the
TACT that imports Of wheat were ex-
pected to be governed by q quota sys-
tenn. Seven-eighths of British Inn
ports Of breadstuffs from the United
States have been wheat and one
eighth flour.
Wheat closed unstable, "a to
below yesterdays finish, May So la
to Ia, July So IL to SD. Corn Ia
to 1-2 down, 80 1-8 to IA, July Al
1-S to Ia. Oats Ia to 80 off, and
provisions varying from 20 cents de-
cline to rise of 2 cents.
Tending TO- steady the wheat mar
ket after early declines were rumors
that Russia had dispatched $4,000
troops to Vladivostok near the Man
churian border. where Japan has
been taking control of railroad facil-
tiles to which Russia claims part
ownership. The rumors, however
were unconfirmed, and for the time
being failed to stimulate rallies.
Bears continued to stress advances
indicating damage to domestic winter
wheat promised to be unimportant
Corn and oats traders took their cue
largely from wheat action.
Provisions reflected firmness of hog
values.

Urging Republicans
To Adopt Wet Plank

Washington. Feb. 5.-(P)-Senator
w. Warren Barbour of New Jersey
announced Friday he would urge the
Republican national convention to
adopt a wet plank in its 1882 plat
form.
Barbour, who succeeded the late
Dwight w. Morrow in the senate,
made public his stand In telegram
addressed to Edgar A. Knapp Of Red
Bank, New Jersey, who had asked
for his position.
II believe" Barbour said, that
there is a majority sentiment against
the prohibition law as it now exists
and that the Republican party should
not, and cannot afford to longer
ignore the issue. The experiences Of
the last decade and q half have
shown conclusively the prohibition
law as now framed is impossible OF
enforcement, and that the evils that
have sprung up as a result are far
worse than the good it is claimed
could be accomplished"
He asserted he considered prohibi-
ton second in Importance only to the
economic situation and unemploy-
ment, and that he strongly favored
courageous anti-prohibition stand
by the party.

Coarse grain futures were very

Cash corn demand was quiet and

were supplies on arrive contracts.
Oats demand was quiet and offer

demand was fair and offerings very

Losses Are Heavy
CONTINUED from naoe Ono,

Continued from page One)
Chinese claimed not only to have
driven off the japanese airmen, but
to have brought down second plane.
japanese authorities denied the
battle had taken place.
Chinese civil authorities said thu
Chinese filters were nearby" and that
tomorrow would bring something
startling"
Far from being perturbed by the
terrific artillery and aerial lombard
ment to which they have been sub
jected during the last two days. the
Chinese armies seemed bit bored to-
day at the way things were going and
officers expressed the wish the Jap
ar.ese would offer the opportunity for
a Showdown"
This was the attitude presented by
General Tsai Ting Kai and 1t was
borne out by observations behind the
Chinese lines. General Tai received
the Associated Press correspondent at
his headquarters two miles behind the
Chapel front.
Shanghai or the international SET
Element or the Japanese troops need
have no fear Of a Chinese offensive
the general said with emphasis,
pointing out the Chinese are fighting
