 London. May A tR-Diplomatic relations between Great Britain and soviet Russia will be broken subject to approval of the house of commons on Thursday, Prime Minister Baldwin announced today. The governments decision IS re- suit of the recent raid on Soviet house in London.
 Stating that the British govern ment proposed to terminate the present trade agreement and re- quire the withdrawal of the Rus sian trade delegation and the sov- jet mission from London. Prime Minister Baldwin declared that the British diplomatic representatives in Moscow also would be recalled.
 Ordinary Trade Continues
 The legitimate use of Arcos. the Russian commercial organization, will not be affected by the govern- ments decision. Mir. Baldwin avow- ed, adding that Great Britain was prepared, while terminating privi- leges conferred by certain articles of the trade agreement. to make all the arrangements necessary for ordinary trade facilities between the two countries.
 The governments decision. the premier said, was based on inyesti- gations regarding the propaganda and subversive" activities of the Russian trade delegation which ended in the recent raid of Soviet house and the seizure of various documents and files.
 Important Paper Taken
 Among these papers, the premier said. was one snatched from the hands of a man burning certain documents. the seized paper con- taining a list of secret addresses in- cluding some in the United States. This paper, he continued. showed means of communicating with the communist parties in the United States. Mexico, South America Canada. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
 The prime minister charged that Soviet house had been habituaiiy used as a clearing house for subver- sive correspondence, including hands off China" campaign, as we'll as military espionage and sub versive activities throughout the British empire and North and South America.
 Responsibility for the tactics of the trade delegation and for the abuse of the facilities afforded the trade delegation, could not be es- capped by the Soviet government, MT. Baldwin declared. It would be diff fcult to believe, he continued, that while one organ of the Soviet gov ernment thus was breaking it's sol emn undertakings, that the other organ of that government in Great Britain. namely the soviet mission and the Soviet government itself were not parties to these proceed ings."

NEW YORK, Feb. is (P).-Heavy
weekend realizing sales threatened
for a time to check operations for the
rise in today's stock market, but an
other lowering of the call money rate
from 4 to 81 per cent revived bullish
enthusiasm, with the result that some
of the best prices of the day were re-
corded in the last hour of trading.
Both the rails and industrials closed
higher on the day, the general average
of the former setting new high mark
since 1910 and the latter approaching
to within half point of the record
high for all time, established last De-
cember. Total sales again crossed the
two million share mark, bringing the
years sales to date equal to those of
the corresponding period last year
Disquieting Chinese developments
were discarded The weekly mercantile
reviews characterized business as fair,
with more activity noted in some of
the basic industries. Both bank clear
ings and bank debts showed an in
crease this week over the correspond
ing week last year. The annual divi-
dend on Laclede gas was raised from
So to $12 and there was talk of
higher dividends on a number of other
issues within the next month, particu-
larly in the oil group.
Despite intimations in brokerage
circles that the recent rapid advance in
many railroad issues had left them in
weakened technical condition, specu-
lation for the rise went on unabated in
that group. Another flock of new high
records was established, the list in
cluding Pennsylvania, Baltimore and
Ohio, Lehigh Valley, Atchison, Wabash
common, Canadian Pacific, the Erie is
sues and many others. A sudden burst
of activity in Chesapeake and Ohio
carried that stock up nearly points
to 1872, or within,a point of the years
high.

Every Beekeeper Should
Raise His Own Queens

It is not profitable for the beekeeper
to keep a queen for more than two
years. When she reaches that age
she has passed her prime and Will
soon become of little use to the col
ony. Often the colony will supersede
her by raising young queen. When
they do this, the old queen soon dis
appears, once the young queen has
settled down to laying. 1t is better,
however, for the colony to be re-
queened at two-year intervals and this
will leave very little supersedure
work for the bees to do.
Every beekeeper should do his own
requeening and raise his own queens.
The raising Of queens is fairly SIM
pie matter and profitable one. In
the first place, the queen to be used
as a breeder should be selected from
the best colony in the yard. 1t should
be first In honey production because

The queen should be from a colony
