GETTING EARLY START
AUGURS FOR SUCCESS

Begin early" is the advice
Of Cora Cooke, poultry specialist
at University Farm, to those
planning to engage in poultry
raising this year. Breeding
stock and chicks should be or.
dered early-the earlier the
better. Many flock owners
have poor male birds because
they neglect to select them early
enough" says Miss Cooke. "The
same thing applies to chicks; if
the orders are late the chicks
will be Matched late because the
hatchery operator usually places
the eggs in the machines after
the orders are received. More
over, the demand for chicks is
increasing to such extent that
only those ordering well in adj
vance of the season can feel GER
tain of having the birds at the
desired time"

QUEEN MARIE VISITS
CANADA PARLIAMENT:
GIVEN BIG RECEPTION

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. %. = Up = The
halls of parliament echoed to the un-
familiar strain of the eRumanian ma
tional anthem in welcome today to the
first queen who ever trod Canada's hall
of fame. Queen Marie of Rumania, her
son, Prince Nicolas, and daughter,
Princess Ileana, were ushered into the
parliament buildings late this after
noon by the Governor General and
Lady Willingdon. 1t was one of the
most impressive scenes witnessed in
the new house. The great building,
deserted for months, was filled with a
fashionable thrOng.
The royal and vice regal party were
welcomed by the speaker of the house,
Rodolphe Lemieux, the acting prime
minister, j. A. Robb, in the absence of
Premier Mckenzie King, now in Eng
land Hugh Guthrie, leader of the op-
position, and several members of the
cabinet After a brief and informal
reception under the vaulted arches of
the main hall, the royal visitors stroll
ed through the building. Later they
took tea with the speaker and Mrs.
Liemeux in the speakers chambers,
where several hundred persons from
Ottawa and elsewhere were presented
to the queen.

RUM RUNNING GANGS
REST ON ARMS WITH
FEAR OF HARD WAR

MARION, Ill, Oct 2S.-(R-The Bir-
ger and Shelton gangs, engaged in a
fierce blood feud for domination of the
southern, Illinois coal belt liquor busi-
ness, remained on their arms tonight,
with citizens of Franklin, Williamson
and Saline counties fearful of a new
outbreak.
The latest flareup was early today
when IA alleged Sheltonites attacked
and riddled with bullets a deserted
road house eight miles north of here,
formerly operated by Birgerites, later
burning it to the ground.
The first action taken by officials in
any of the three counties was that of
Sheriff Henry Dorres and States At
torney r. c. Martin of Franklin coun-
ty, who went to the roadhouse oper-
ated by Sheltonites near West City
and told them they must leave the
county at once. The gangsters- COM
piled with their request leaving in the
direction of the Williamson county line
to the south.
Charles Birger, leader of one of the
factions, remained defiant and reiter-
ated that his men were out to get"
the Sheltonites.
Carl Shelton, leader of the opposing
faction insisted to newspaper reporters
in East st. Louis, however that he had
not been in the trouble zone for sew
eral weeks and denied that any of his
men were responsible for the killing of
Birger men.
Friction between the Birger and
Shelton gangs arose over insistence of
the Sheltons in engaging in bank and
highway robberies, Charles Birger,
leader of the former faction, said to-
day. The split, he said, assumed seri-
Gus aspects about two months ago.
Birger said he was content for his
men to confine their activities to liquor
running and gambling.

MAJ. GEN. GEORGE BELL
DIES In CHICAGO AT
THE AGE OF 81 YEARS

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-Maj. Gen. George
Bell U. S. A., retired, died in a hospital
here tonight at 7:15 o'clock
Major General Bell, who was 81
years old, had been unconscious dur
ing the day at intervals from the eff
fects of pernicious anemia as a result
of the infection for which he had been
receiving treatment.
With him at the bedside when he died
were his wife and several army friends
whom he had known for years. A
daughter, Mrs. William Scott Wood,
wife of Col. William Scott Wood, is
en- route here from California.
After more than 40 years of army
service, Major General Bell refused to
accept retirement in the strict sense of
the word. Army regulations forced his
retirement when he reached GA years,
three years ago, and he became presi-
dent of the Kill State bank of Chicago,
post he held at death.
Major General Bell was born in the
army. He first saw the light of day at
Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Md, and his
father was Brig. Gen. George Bell. At
21 he had been graduated from the
military academy at West Point and
commissioned second lieutenant.
