HEAD TO
MAKE VISIT HERE
State Executive Will Confer
With County Leaders--May
Name BergdoII Committee
POST PLANS FOR FIELD DAY

Commander David J. Davis. Of
Scranton. of the department Of Pennsyl
vania, American Legion is scheduled
to pay his first official visit to Phila
delphia today
IIc will confer with Legion leaders in
this county. 1t is anticipated that
he will take this occasion to name the
Bergdoll prosecuting committee, au-
thorized by resolution of the delegates
IN the Allentown cantonment.
It is possible that a department ad
jutant will be appointed. William G.
Murdock, of Milton, has been acting in
this capacity for more than a year and
is continuing in the position pending the
announcement of his successor. He
was the opponent of Commander Davis
for the leadership Of the Iegion in the
state and was defeated by a small ma :
jority.
There are two other important cues
tions confronting the new commander
the naming Of twenty four deputy
commanders and the selection Of the
location Of state headquarters. The
Philadelphia contingent at Allentown
was interested in retaining the head 4.
quarters here, but it is not assured that
the commander will heed this sentiment.
There is a feeling on the part of some
up state Legion posts that the head :
quarters should be in Harrisburg.
Walter NJ. Gearty Post No. 315.
headed by David B. Simpson. the newly
elected vice commander of the depart
ment of Pennsylvania. is planning for
a field day at the Fox Chase Club in
July. The band of fifty pieces in this
post enjoyed moonlight excursion up
the Delaware last night.
This post is interesting itself in the
organization Of a marching club at the
next state cantonment. which will be
held in Pittsburgh. Such demonstra
ton would add n spectacular feature to
the cantonments and would arouse
greater interest. in the judgment of the
post. 1t would also insure the attend
ance of tremendous number of lc-
gionaries. since posts would be urged
to have their entire membership turn
out for the parade.

POLICE RELEASE SUSPECT

Federal postal inspectors have been
put on the trail Of the kidnappers OF
Blakely Coughlin. of Norristown, and
the man who blackmailed the father out
of $4,000.
Chief Postal Inspector George A.
Leonard, of the Philadelphia district,
directing the search, says 1t is the
first time postal inspectors have been
employed in kidnapping case.
The initial move of the inspectors
was to send out to every home in the
Philadelphia -Norristown district a
postal card showing likeness of the
missing baby and giving a good de-
scription Of Blakely, along with q re-
ward offy of $4,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. George II. Coughlin,
parents of the kidnapped baby, have
all but given up hope Of his safe re-
turn. During the three weeks since he
has been missing they held up ad-
mirably, but lack Of news of him and
the fact that the father paid S12 900
to a man who did not return the child
is breaking through their fortitude.

Tt IS common failing among us mortals,' said W. F. Fetterly, head of the poultry department of the Arizona State fair, who is now on the coast interesting California bird fanciers in the exhibits here" to think that we have something just a little better than anyone else has. Maybe we have Let's prove it.
 Apply the above to Chickens. Don't leave your birds at home and then come to the fair, and standing before a handsome fowl say. 'Aw, I have better one than that at home Bring 1t to the exhibit. Prove it. No bird the woodpile, or roasting on d mes quite tree"
 MT. Fetterly believes that all those who intend entering poultry in the contests should begin now to get them in good condition. Birds do not fat ten or grow to any extent during hot weather. and now that the worst heat of the summer is over, with proper care, they should be in splendid con- dition for the fair. November 8-13
 We want to have all entries judged by noon of the first day" said MT Petterly." One of the chief functions of such an exhibit is to advertise the product ion it's owner, and we believe that visitors on the first day should know who won prizes as we'll as those who come the last of the week For this reason the judge in the poultry department will begin to make selec- tions on the Saturday and Sunday before the fair opens.

He told them that they should not miss the capital city and the great agricul- tural empire surrounding Phoenix.
 Governor Campbell stopped here to welcome the convoy on his way to Bis bee to open his campaign. Col. John F. Franklin, commanding the convoy responded Following the formal ad- dress Governor Campbell had half hours conference with Col. Franklin and the officers of the convoy He urged them to go by way of Phoenix if this seemed at all justified by the report of the scouts.
