As oil poultry is susceptible to many

birds become sick 1t Is often the best
plan to kill them. The greater the
number Of birds kept upon any farm

testimony has made a very favor
able impression and the country
is now ready to tackle other prob
lens as big as radical unionism,
whose solution will be easier be-
cause of the winning over of the
public opinion in the steel contro-
versy. 1t is quite natural that the
market should display -reactionary
tendency along with improved news
and outlook. Much protective buy
ing has to be done, but under
these conditions the reactions will
not go very far. Steel stocks, it
appears should be let alone for the
present, particularly Bethlehem.
Judge Gary's statement before
the senate committee will plainly
indicate that the steel corporation
will not be defeated in the present
strike, which is further basis foT
constructive activity in U. S. Steel.
We also feel that some Of the spe-
cialties such as rubbers, Baldwin,
should continue their pool opera

corn crop is now 81. an improve

Later the market rallied sharply
in view of brisk industrial and
shipping demand together with in
dications of reluctance to sell on
the part of growers. Prices closed
unsettled, 4 to SIC net higher,
with December. $1.27A to S1.279s,
and May $1.245s to $124%.
Oats declined with corn, but raj
lied owing to word that seaboard

Chicago, Oct. Corn and oats
rallied on light trade and firmness
o4 cash corn, sale of 300, 900 oats
aid 250, 900 rye for export. Other
reasons look second hand. Most
locals take a short distance view.
TQ6ay, if higher to II a. m, a late
Zip should be in order. For the
long pull the talk of a % per cent
increase in freight rates and higher
sugar prices is bullish on corn.
The continued bull market in stocks
is also calculated to excite the
farmer. If stocks are booming on
big earnings wheat about farm
earnings. After a big row in food
prices, some other things are boost
ing. Chicago food controller says
sugar will not advance seriously.
Gary utters a paradox. Says labor
has right to organize but must not
be contracted with as an organiza-
ton. The Iron Age thinks the
strike will be long drawn out. Corn
products men say price of sugar
will not boom price of corn syrup.
Cash corn was unchanged to 5
cents higher There are a few
signs that locals have become I'M
willing sellers on dips and are not
sure of December corn to re-
main below 125 or even $50.

TO OBSERVE FIRE
PREVENTION DAY

A week from today. Oct. o. Is FIRE
prevention day. It will be observed
in Aledo, that is, TO some extent,
according 10 Fire Chief d. p. Farr
Mayor c. A. Beers has signified
his intention to issue a proclama-
ton along similar lines to that OF
Governor Lowden's. Citizens hav-
ing fire extinguishers may get them
refilled between the hours of 8 and
IL in the morning at the fire sta
ton in the city hall.
Chief Farr urges all residents TO
go carefully over their homes and
premises and make needed repairs
that will lessen the possibility OF
FIRE, also to see that all city FIRE
ordinances are observed in the ar
rangement and construction OF
buildings.
The fire whistle will be blown at
8 O'Clock in the morning as a re-
hinder of the occasion, and it Is
possible that the fire department
may be induced to try a trial spin
in the motor truck. The day will
be celebrated in the schools by fire
drills and instruction relative to
what should be done in case OF fire.
Chief Farr stated this morning
that the new Brockaway chassis
upon which are mounted the old
tanks belonging to the city. will he
shipped from the American Ia
France company within the next
few days.

Total Booty Of Robbery at Little

Convict Is Suspected.

No traces were left by the yegg-
men who broke into the First State
bank Of Little York, about fourteen
miles south of Aledo in Warren
county, during the early hours OF
Tuesday morning, and escaped with
what is checking up to aggregate
nearly $4,000 in Liberty bonds,
stock certificates and cash.

Monmouth rushed bloodhounds 10.
the scene. Due TO the heavy rain
which fell between the hours Of 2
and 4, however, all traces left by
the bank robbers we're obliterated.
Approximately $175 in cash was
secured, while TO date about $500
in registered and coupon bonds
have been checked up by owners
of safety deposit boxes as missing
The report is not complete and this
total is expected to be swelled TO
$4,000 before nightfall.
Although no explosives we're
used in forcing entrance into the
vault, Sheriff Hicks stated that
there was evidence to indicate that
the robbers we're prepared to use
soup" Il am convinced that the
Job was the work of expert yeggs,'
declared Sheriff Hicks to an Argus
representative. Every indication
was that the burglary was effected
quickly and with little noise, with
a total absence of discriminating
clues to work upon"
Entrance TO the bank was gained
by using a jimmy on rear win
dow. The vault was forced after
the lock had been knocked off with
a sledge and the bolts sprung with
crowbar. The safety deposit
boxes were broken open by smash
ing with a heavy sharp instrument,
and their contents rifed and streWn
about the vault floor.
Visits Rock Island.
Authorities of surrounding towns
and counties have been notified and
are giving fullest cooperation in
running to earth the bandits. Sher-
if Hicks, with several deputies,
was in Rock Island Tuesday on the
trail of a suspect, an eX-coHvict,
who was paroled TO Rock Island
Tuesday and had settled there aft
er taking a wife. This man, it is
said, frequently mysteriously dis
appears from town, remaining
away for a night or nights at a
time. Strangely enough coincident
with his absences come reports of
various Jobs" pulled in this sec
ton Of the state. Whether or not
this man is implicated in the Little
York burglary is being investigat-
ed by Rock Island police. Although
only paroled there a few short
months ago. the suspect drives a
large touring car of expensive make
and seems TO always have an album
dance of money.

BOX CAR THIEVES
ACTIVE AT NORTH
HENDERSON ESCAPE

Box car thieves were active in
North Henderson a few days ago.
Sheriff John P. Fleming was no
tilted and Deputy ]. j. Stallings
dispatched to the seat of trouble.
North Henderson authorities had
discovered that approximately $50
worth of foodstuffs and other goods
had been pilfered from a car on
which the seal had been broken.
Investigation by Deputy Stall
ings in cooperation with the local
officials resulted in the arrest Of
two strangers who had been loiter-
ing about North Henderson several
days previous. At a hearing the
pair was released, however. due to
lack of evidence.
That the real perpetrators of the
theft will soon be in custody is the
prediction of Deputy Stallings and
Sheriff Fleming.
