"Hey there!"
That hailing sign, uttered by
police officer, furnished the opening
scene in one Of the last acts OF q
chicken drama today which had its
beginning on lonely Illinois road
five miles south of Warsaw.
Chief OF Police C. II. Hennemann
and Detective William Wilson. OF the
Keokuk police department, halted the
two men on the valley road some
where near the Des Moines river
bridge early today and placed them
under arrest
A half hour later they had confes.

stolen thirty-one chickens from
farrnyard in Hancock county The
prisoners are William F. Johnson,
alias Moon, and M. McCullom.
The police got their first tip that
the chicken thieves had entered Iowa

saw police department, tele7honed
that the men had crossed the river
at Alexandria.
Search Is Begun.
Then began a lively hunt for the
pair. Up hill and down dale drove
the police officers in a taxicab.
Inquiries put them on the trail OF
the men. and soon the two were seen
driving along with a wagon contain
ing two coops OF chickens.
Two of the fowls died because OF
the intense heat
Chief Hennemann said that the
men admitted they took the chickens
out of trees and off OF fences where
the springers perched. Then they
started for Iowa to peddle them,
presumably.
The men will be turned over to
the Warsaw police.

Creating New Business.
New business is being created
every day. Right here in Indiana
within 60 miles OF Chicago a move is
on for the completion of the drainage
of the Kankakee swamps which
means the bringing Of some 400, 900
acres under tillage. This land is adj
nirably fitted for growing corn and
the development of the dairy and
trucking lines. Chicago will be the
natural market place for the product.
similar action is being taken in
Illinois in respect to the Illinois river
swamp lands, several hundred thou
sand acres of which will soon come
under cultivation and support a
thriving grain and live stock industry

chicaso's Consested Terminals.
81 have stated that this plan looks
to the writer to be a common sense
one and my reasons are based upon
the following facts:
1.-THE condition of Chicago's ter
minals has become alarmingly seri-
Gus within the past few years and
more so now that crisis is on. At
no time within ten years have the
various lines ending in the lake
metropolis been blessed with ade-
quate terminals, notwithstanding the
additions to old and the many new
yards established. Chicago's growing
industries alone require almost con-
slant expansion of freight receiving
and distributing facilities. Then
there is the natural-and at this time
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of traffic caused
by the establishment of new indus
trial regions about Chicago-Gary,
Indiana Harbor, East Chicago, Michi-
gan City, Hammond and Whiting are
almost daily adding to their manu-
featuring Industries. Thousands of
tons of new freight must be handled
and moved out of the Chicago dis
trict. Ten years will in all likelihood
see one vast industrial region from
Michigan City on the east around the
foot of the lake, north to Milwaukee.
Take up a map of the United
States and you will readily note that
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
have vast undeveloped regions and
are not one-fourth settled. The two
Dakotas have scarcely a handful of
inhabitants compared with their pos
sible population a few years hence
