LOO Watch Polls
Seventeen hundred poll watchers
were deputized by Judge Jarecki and
were concentrated in five wards
where contests were particularly
sharp-in its essence today's elec-

Series HOG RAISER
MEETINGS OPENED
AT REGAIN, WILTON
Two Communities Show Keen.
est interest Of 81 lnsti.
tutes, Says Expert

The series Of hog raising institutes
being held In several counties OF
southern North Dakota opened with
q good meeting at Regan, Monday
afternoon. and was followed by an
other at Wilton in the evening.
\ Opening Of country roads permitted
q. good attendance from . country
where hog raising Is just average. But
the interest displayed and the ques-
tions asked indicated possibility Of an
expansion Of pork production In that
section.
Gordon Randlett. the agricultural
college expert, said the meetings
evinoed the sharpest interest Of 81
He hos attended g speaker on hog
subjects. y
A. r. Miesen. Birleigh county
agent, attended both meetings and
this morning set out for Wing. where
another is being held this afternoon.
He also spoke at Mondays meetings.
At the Regan meeting. Axel Lund-
berg, Q farmer Of the community,
presided as chairman, and at the VIII
ton meeting. In the evening. the chair
man was Jacob Schmidt. A lunch
was served at this latter meeting.
Disease prevention and sanitation
were the main phases Of hog raising
stressed by Mr.. Randlett. He recon-
mends that anyone raising hogs
maintain q pig pasture. preferably Of
alfalfa. Then crop should be planted
of Canadian field peas or
hulless barley, to be used as q hog
ging loft crop following pasturing and
the maturing Of the corn
crop. When the latter crop comes in.
he advises, the hogs should be turned
into this and allowed to hog 1t off.
Victor Anderson, wilton. said he
had raised litter Of II pigs last year
on q plan somewhat similar and In
five months and ten days had . ton
Of pork.
Due to the fact, said Mr.. Randlett.
that hogs are most always infected
with worms, 1t Is very desirable that
the sows be washed with soap and
water before farrowing, and that the
farrowing pens also be washed, with
lye water, II possible. This tends to
safeguard the little pigs from infec-
ton.
Then, II the pigs be moved to .
clean patch Of alfalfa as soon as the
pasture Is ready. it will be possible to
raise . larger percentage Of the litter
and have pigs that make gains much
more rapidly, said Mr.. Randlett.
This system Is nothing more or less
than the Mclean county system used
extensively In hog raising In all hog
producing areas.
A supply Of bulletins describing hos
raising IN detail, has been received BY
County Agent Miesen, and any farm
ers desiring copies will receive them
on notifying the agents Office.

ONE KEY MAN TO MASSACRE

Chicago, Feb. 26-(AP)-An or
der for the arrest Of II men was is
sued by Deputy Police Commission
er John Siege today in the gang
massacre investigation.
Several of the men in his list, he
said, may have been the actual kill
ers. Others are believed to have def
mite and important knowledge con-
cerning the seven-fold murder.
Photographs Of some Of the II
have been identified, he said, by wit
nesses whose identities have been
kept secret for their own protection.
The arrests were ordered after Siege
had spent several hours Of study
over the police "blue book" Of GRIM
inals, and had re-questioned wit
neSSeS.
The II who are sought are:
Claude Maddox, arrested . short
time ago when . machine gun was
found at "The Circus" cafe of which
he is part owner.
Tony Capezia (Tough Tony)

murder two years ago, and partner

pert and friend Of Scarface AL Ca

/ Maddox is a major hope Of the in
vestigators. He lives near the pri-
vate garage in which the slayers'
car was found last week. His pre-
vious possession Of . machine gun
was another factor influencing po-
lice in their suspicion that he may
be able to give valuable information.
Schultz Deadly Gunner
Schultz is known ~ one who is
deadly with small firearms. He is
reputcd to be . master Of the use Of
springs, concealed in his sleeves, by
which he is able to drop IN auto

LONDON, July Is. U.H-A minor
operation was performed upon the
right chest of King George at
Buckingham Palace today in an ef-
fort to relieve the congestion, and
to facilitate the draining of an alb
cess which had formed there some
time ago and which brought about
the serious illness of last winter.
1t was understood that the opera.
tiOn was successful.
The British empire breathed
freely again after a tense period
when the monarch's physicians an
nounced that he withstood the Or
deal remarkably well.
Portions of two ribs in his right
chest were removed, it was an
nounced, in order to drain an alb
scess an inch and half across. The
abcess had formed beneath the
scar Of his original operation last
winter to drain the infected pleur-
al cavity. A second operation was
performed some months ago when
his recovery was not as speedy as
his doctors had hoped.
One of the two ribs operated
upon today was the same which

SWIM IN CANAL
IS FATAL FOR
OREGON YOUTH

The body of Paul Garfield, II, of
Home Garden, Ore, who was
drowned Saturday afternoon in the
highline canal east of Holtville,
was recovered this morning at !
O'Clock by irrigation district EN-
ployees, it was reported today by
Coroner b. +. Lemons.
An inquest was held this after
noon and a verdict of accidental
death by drowning brought in by
the coroner's jury.
Reginald Elliott, IS, of Portland
Ore, who was with Garfield when
he was drowned, was the only eve
witness. He stated the two had been
liking from Oregon to Phoenix,
Ariz., to visit some of his relatives.
They stopped at the bridge ove'
the canal Saturday afternoon and
decided to take swim to cool off.
Elliott said he jumped in first
and the water seemed very cold. He
came out on the bank and then
Garfield went IN feet first. The
youngster did not come up right
away, SIdteu Eluoil, anu He pre-
pared to go in after him when Can
field appeared on the surface so
yards or more down stream.
Elliott then jumped in and tried
to drag Garfield to shore but the
latter, evidently attacked by
cramps, fought and almost pulled
Elliott under.
Elliott Immediately got in touch
with some passing motorists and
the tragedy was reported to the
coroner's office. Attempts to
locate the body by Bert Underwood,
coroner's Investigator, failed, but
employees of the irrigation distr;c,
were finally successful early this
morning.
A telegram from the dead boys
father, A. A. Garfield, a small
rancher, today, advised that the
body be shipped home at the earliest
possible moment. Young Elliott will
accompany his chum.
