"If this bill is passed, and congress
wants to be consistent" he continued,
"it would have to forbid pub ic2tion Of
stock quotations and bank clcarings,
for pools are made on them as well as
on baseball news published in the
newspapers. What this comes to is an
attempt to Russianize and destroy the
American press"
One witness before the committee
frankly declal ed that there were a mill
lion people who bet on horse racing,
and that ne cid not in any way con-

authors of liberty in all ages.
"Who was it won liberty for Ameri-

the committee.

replied.

POULTRY SHOW
Veach Birds Capture Many
Awards; Owners Flock
Numbers 10000

One Of the features of the big poul-
trv show being held here this week by
the Great Falls Poultry and rabbit
association is the remarkable winning
that has been made by the string OF
81 birds entered by the j. ID. Neach
Poultry company Of Helena.
The Veach string dominated the SIN,
gle and Rose Comb Rhode Island Red

first. second, third, fourth and flfth
cockerel; first and second hen; fourth
and fifth pullet, and first old pen in
the Single Combs, and first and thlrd
cock and first, second, third, fourth
and fifth hen in the Rose Combs. In
the Light Barred Rocks the Neach
birds took first cock and second pen,
while in the Dark Barred Rocks, they
were awarded first cock, first puiiet,
second and third cockerel, second hen
and second young pen. The company
winnings in the Single Comb Whlte
Leghorns were second cock, second pull
let. second old pen and fourth young
pen.
Included in the Veach show string
this year are a number OF blfds thal
won blue ribbons at the last Chicago
Coliseum show, Americas premier
poultry exhibition. The birds are in
charge of Mrs. J. D. Veach, wife of the
proprietor of the company and one OF
the foremost poultry women of the
west.
The veach plant at Helena is the
largest poultry concern in Montana and
one of the largest in the northwest.
According to Mrs. Veach, the flock
numbers close to 10000 birds. Five
large brooder houses on the Feach
farm have a capacity of 10000 chicks,
while the electric incubators with which
the plant is equipped have a capacity
of 10000 chicks each season.
"While we do a large business in
Montana each season, our field is by
no means limited to this state" said
Mrs. Neach. Our winnings at Chicago
and at the other big shows have at
tracted nationwide interest and each
year we fill a great many orders from
states in all parts Of the country. This
fall a shipment valued at $500 was
made from the Veach farm to Buenos
Aires and present indications are that
we will build UP quite a business in
South America"
