SUNSHINE AND CLEANLINESS
POULTRY REQUIREMENTS

Because chickens are confined to the
poultry houses for many weeks during
the Montana winter. the poultry h0sise
is an important element In keeping ny
the health OF the flock It Is believed
that most Of the common poultry dis
eases are caused directly or Indirectly
in Montana by the environment Of the
birds
The poultry house should be located
on dry, well drained soil and 50 placed
as to receive the direct rays Of the sun
during the greater part OF the day. Il
should be sheltered rs much as pos
slbIe from prevailing winds. Hills,
trees sud large farm buildings give
excellent protection, but II Is impor-
tnnt that they do not shut off the sun
light. Usually some shade is necessary
In the summer time, and where there
are no trees some boards on supports
a few feet above the ground VIII serve
as satisfactory shelters fr8m the sun.
A poultry house is never properly 10.

ness, sunshine and freedom from naols-
ture are essential for best results with
poultry. Ventilation h important

the comfort OF the birds There must
be a gradual but constant change Of air

French May Move
To Refund Their
Debt to u. S. Govt.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Reports that
the French government might initiate
proceedings before long looking to a
refunding of that nations debt to the
United States were revived here today.
although members of the American
debt commission declared they had no
definite information that Paris officials
were moving definitely toward such ne
gotiations.
Secretary Mellon. discussing this
possibility. said he believed the French
government would take such a step,
but he hesitated to suggest when their
action might be expected. Mr.. Mel
Ions view appeared to be based large
~ on the recent Qualification of the
European situation.
The French have made several ges-
lures toward opening funding negotia-
tions, but treasury officials hardly ex-
pect definite proposition until after
the new year. There are indications.
however. that they would not he sur
priscd if some suggestions should be
forthcoming from Paris before the life
of tho present commission expires in
February. .

JAPS AND BRITISH
CLASH OVER OPIUM
FARLEY At geneva

Geneva, Nov. 24-(By A. P.)-The
palace Of the league Of nations was
the scene today of sensational pub
lie meeting on the opium problem.
when the far eastern opium con- -
ence was revived. After discussion
which was accusative and almost
yitriolic in nature, between the Jap
anese, British and Indian delegates,
an agreement was reached in princi-
pie on the matter which was one OF
the causes for the collapse of the first
opium conference.
This matter concerns the freedom
of Japan to import opium and recog-
milton of import certificates by Brit
ish authorities when Japan trans
ships her opium at Hong Kong to be
sent in various directions.
Despite this accord. however. the
first conference is generally regarded
as virtually a complete failure be-
cause it provides no effective system
for putting an end to opium smoking
in the far east.
It was that object for which the
first conference was called. When
tOudE SGSSlOil opcllcu NIL houSh "a
of the Japanese delegation announced
that Japan would not sign the con-
venttion as drafted unless Japanese
certificates were approved. He con-
tinued his offensive so nard that the
British delegation finally gave In to
the extent of agreeing to recognize
the validity of all certificates vised
by a Japanese consul. This was con-
sidered a victory for Japan.
Sir Malcolm Delvigne of the Brit
ish delegation r~oudiated charges
that Great Britain was discriminating
against Japan. He insisted it was
unjust to bring such an accusation
against n friendly government. The
Indian delegate declared that all gov
ernments could not be placed on the
same level and hence the necessity
for selection in recognizing opimu
purchases as legitimate.
The delegates themselves admit
that the only effective clause in the
convention, which probably will be
concluded next week. Is that the far
eastern powers agree to meet in I'VE
years to re-examine into the problem
of opium smoking.

Sentences Held
Up in Salisbury
Beach Booze Case

Boston, Nov. 2f-Sentences of de-
PENDANTS in the so-called Salisbury
Beach liquor conspiracy case, which
We're to have been imposed in federal
court today, were deferred at the re-
quest of Washington, it became
known today. l.. S. Attorney Har-
riS received telegram from Attor-
ney General Stone requesting him to
take no further steps in the case I'M
til advised bv the CAPITOL.
Former Chief of Police Harold f.
Congdon of Salisbury ami Anthony
Caramagno. also of that town, were
to have appeared for sentence today.
They were notified of tn" postpone
ment. Judge James a. Lowell an
nounced n week ago that Congdon
would be given n Jail sentence OF
four months while Caramagno would
be fined $500. Congdon had pleaded
nolo to charges of conspiracy to
transport liquor. Caramagno was
tried and found guilty.
Others awaiting sentence are Sell
ectmen Rucl S. Getchell of Salisbury
and Albert s. Reynolds Of Ncwbury-
port. Judge Lowell said that in a
month he would sentence Reynolds
to two years imprisonment anil
Getchell to three months.

today's procedure was "unprecedent-
ed"
Assistant Attorney General Hen
derson came here from Washington
last week to review the case with
local federal attorneys. None OF the
cases had been officially acted upon

came today so that United States

Washington. Nov. Ex-senator
Curtis. OF Kansas. virtually was
agreed upon today by majority lead
ers of the Senate to succeed Senator
Lodge as Republican floor leader.
The key to the whole leadership
situation has been held by Senator
Warren, of Wyoming, who was in
line for the leadership under the
Violated by the Republican party
He withdrew his name from the list
of candidates today. however. al
though all factions of his party were
willing to accept him as leader.
In withdrawing, Senator Warren
took occasion to endorse Senator
Curtis for the post. 1t also was re-
ported in Senate circles that Senator
Wadsworth, OF New York and Sena-
tor Watson, Indiana, whose names
had been mentioned as candidates,
were prepared to withdraw in favor
of the Kansan. which would leave
the field clear for his selection at the
Republican conference next Friday.
The Kansas senator has borne the
ltrunt of many n Republican baltic
;ls party whip and assistant floor
leader, ard he is regarded by his
friends as we'll qualified and deser'-
hg of the honor. His ascension to
fhc Leadership would mean the pass
ing of another important Senate
position to the west, as several i'm
portant committee Chairmanships
which had been held for years '"
senators from New England and the
east will be assumed by westerners
Senator Warren said the only rea-
son he had given any consideration
to the leadership was for the sake
of party harmony. The chairman
ship of the powerful Senate appro-
priations committee and the de-
mands made upon him by his con-
stitucnts. he said. prevented his taxi
ing on additional burdens. He point
ed out that the duties of n senator
from Wyoming were unusually heavy
since the state has only one repre-
sentative in the house.
