WATCH YOUR BABY CHICKS "To keen babv chicks alive and make them grow one must watch the little things." says the Baby Chick Number of the Purina Poultryman. "First of all. man for early cnicKs. Chicks hatched in March and April will be laying in August, SeptemDer and October when egg prices are high. "Then don't forget to have clean premises. , Before the chicks arrive drench the walls, ceiling, and floors of the brooder houses with a strong coal tar disinfectant. That along with a general program of cleanli ness will keep down disease. "After the chicks come, don t over crowd them in the brooder house. Allow one square foot of floor space for every three chicks. "Be sure and run the brooder stove several days in advance of the chicks' arrival to make sure it is oneratiner in cood shape. A temper ature of from 95 to 97 degrees should be maintained during the first week. "When chicks are forty-eight hours old give a drink of water with the chill removed. At that time they may be started on chick starting mash. Begin feeding chick scratch grain the afternoon of the fifth day. You'll be money ahead by following these simple suggestions, concludes the Purina Poultryman. FOB BENT For Rent 100-acre farm, about half farm land and half pasture land. Fair house and barn.

MOSLEMS OPPOSE CBUSADE London Dispatches to the Daily Mail from Bombay Thursday said that hp villnsrprs nf Rnreia showed only a faint interest in the pilgrim age of Gandhi and his seventy-nine volunteers when they passed thru the village. According to the Daily Mail correspondent, most of the nen Rants in the district round about paid no attention to Gandhi's march of civil disobedience and continueu unconcernedly at work. Messages from other parts of In dia indicate that general celebrations in connection with the campaign, have been checked by the influence of the Moslems and other non-Brah min groups. The Moslem influence which is largely predominant in northern India, is said to be dead against Ganhri's crusade. BABY CHICKS Why not try Wild's certified brown leghorn baby chicks.

HOY GREGG, Owner Van Sweringens Form Rail Link Coast to Coast Qleveland Men Are Credited With Railroad Coup of Magnitude; No Mo. Pacifio Comment. Cleveland O. P. and M. J. Van Swedingen, Cleveland brothers, who entered the railroad industry as nov ices only fourteen years ago, Friday night were In control of a network of railroads, which, according to fi nancial leaders here, are intended to become America's first transcontin ental railroad system. Only one line is lacking to give the Van Swerig en's a complete coast to coast route and the line needed is believed avail able. It is the Western Pacific from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. Many great railroaders, including such men as Collis P. Huntington, Jay Gould and E. H. Harriman, tried in years gone by to build a trans continental system, but the Van Sweringens are closer to attainment of that fond hope than Was reached by any of the others. The present position of the Van Sweringens was reached, it was re vealed Friday by recent quiet buying of sufficient stock and convertible bonds to give them or their holding companies a working control of the big system of the Missouri Pacific. Lines to Be Used. Already in control of several east ern and central railroad systems, the Van Sweringens, by taking control of the Western Pacific could establish a thru coastto coast route. Railroad men said it probably would connect the following: Deleware, Lakawana and Western, Buffalo to New York; Nickel Tlate, Buffalo to St. Louis; Missouri Pacific, St. Louis to Pueblo; Denver, Rio Grande and Western; Pueblo to Salt Lake City, and West ern Pacific from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. The financial connection of the Van Sweringens with the Denver Rio Grande &. Western is thru the Mis souri Pacific, which owns half of its stock. The same roads give the Cleve land magnates a "friendly contact" with the Western Pacific, for it also is half owner of the Denver Rio Grande & Western. Other Van Swer ingen roads which are available for the system in the east are the Erie and the Chesapeake & Ohio. No Missouri Pacific Comment. Officials of the Missouri Pacific re fused to make any statement of th reported new stock control of their road. Under management of L. W. Baldwin, president .since 1923, the Missouri Pacific has made unusual ly .successful and. large expansions, and with more than 15,500 miles of lines in the middlewest and south west, claims to be the longest rail road system in the United States. According to financiers the Van Sweringens, thru its holding com pany, the Allegheny corporation, have obtained at least a third of the Missouri Pacific common stock. The Missouri Pacific has outstand ing 82S,395 shares of common and 718.001 shares of 5 per cent cumu lative preferred, t has applied to the Interstate Commerce commission to issue approximately $35,000,000 of common stock to fund the $48.25 a share accumulated dividends on its preferred. It was announced this week that the holding company would borrow $37,500,000 on its Missouri Pacific holdings. At the Van Sweringen of fices here confirmation or denial that they had gained control of the Mis souri Pacific was refused. State Journal. OPPOSED TO STEEL MEBGEB Youngstown, O. Cyrus S. Eaton, Cleveland financier and commander-in-chief of the opposition toward the purchase of the Young3town Sheet and Tube company by the Bethle hem Steel corporation declared here tonight that the "deal will not go thru." This is the first time he has broken his silence since the merger fight. He arrived here in the after noon to take eprsonal charge of the fight to prevent the merger. His first attention was toward re pairing the breach opened on the op position's proxy committee by the re signation from the committee of Ju lius Kahn, president of the Truscon Steel company of Youngstown. The purpose of the committee is to con trol the proxies at a meeting of Sheet and Tube stockholders next month to vote on the merger which was ap proved by the sheet and tube direc tors this week. "This sale will not go thru." Eaton said. "A good deal more than enough stock has been pledged against it and always has been. The terms are un satisfactory and public sentiment is opposed to it." During the opposition's battle for proxies Friday James A. Campbell, chairman of the Sheet and Tube board, and Frank Purnell, president of the company, were preparing a statement setting forth their views on why the sale should be made.

AMERICAN LEGIOM Plattsmouth Wednesday, Mar. 19 GINGER BLUES ORCHESTRA Testimony of Stagg Criticized on Campus Student Editors Reply Is Problemt Chicago University; Ideals Arc Amusing. Chicago, 111., March 15. Alonzo A. Stagg's statement that prohibition is not a problem at the University of Chicago elicited flat contradiction tonight from three authoritative sources the university campus, the commanders of police precincts ad joining the university, and prohibi tion headquarters. Of all Mr. Stagg's critics, the students were most out spoken. In a statement before the house judiciary committee in Washington today, Stagg devoted but one sen tence to conditions at the univer sity: "I can state with absolute confi dence that it (liquor) is not a prob lem at the University of Chicago, that onl3- a very small percentage of the students drink at all." Miss Marjorie Cahill, woman's edi tor of the campus newspaper, the Daily Maroon, said Stagg's opinions had been a source of amusement cn the campus for some time. "Certainly, prohibition is a prob lem." she declared. "Almost all the fraternity men drink. Stagg's puri ty ideals are a source of amusement to the campus at large. He apparent ly doesn't know a thing about anyone on the campus excepting his own Boy Scout troop. Stagg is a fool." Louis Engel, jr., editor-in-chief of the Maroon, was more restrained but no less contradictory regarding Stagg's statement. "It is apparent that prohibition has been no more effective here than elsewhere." Off campus comment included tlie recollections of Alexander Jamie, chief special agent of the prohibition bureau. Mr. Jamie recalled that in 1927 the university authorities had complained that liquor was too easily procurable in the vicinity of the university, and that these complaints had resulted in raids which closed three drug stores near the midway and a speakeasy restaurant in the vicinity.
