If the present plans of the Missis
sippi Valley Fanciers' association do
not miscarry the biggest poultry show
ever staged In the tri-cities will take
place during Thanksgiving week. At
the meeting of the executive commit
tee held last night it was decided to
carry on an extensive advertising cam
paign prior to the shoV and from re
ports, exhibitors are expected from all
over the country. It was decided lst
night to use the Empire coops for ex
hibition purposes and to make the in
terior of the exhibition room uniform
in appearance.
A committee will be appointed in the
near future to visit all the county
fairs and poultry shows taking place
in this section of the state and in
Iowa during the fall for the purpose
cf interesting fanciers in the local
show. The fact that, the shew Is to
be beld in the Trevor & Snyder garage
assures the owners of the birds that
their stock will be well cved for in
the warm, well lighted, fireproof build
ing which is an ideal place to stage
such an exhibition. A letter from a
Cambridge poultry raiser asking for
space for 15 coops was read last night
and other inquiries in regard to the
show have been received by the local
secretary. The next meeting of the
executive committee will be held
Thursday, July 31 and at that, time
the various committees will be appointed.

Opinion from Attorney
General P. J. Lucey.
"Beginning tomorrow employes from
the waterworks department will start
out to turn off the water of all delin
quent users." declared Commissioner
Jonas Bear this morning. "We have
been lenient too long. The result is
that fully l.Ooo patrons of the depirt
ment aro behind in their bills.
"These must be met at once," con
tinued Commissioner Bear. "We will
make no distinction among the delin
quents. All will be treated alike. The
city is tired waiting for its money and
unless the obligations are attended to
at once, the water will surely be dis
continued. All of the bil'.f in the de
linquent list are long past due. most
of them being for a period of six
months and due June 1. If patrons
wake up some morning to find the!
water shut off they will understand
the reason."
Mayor H. M. Schriver today receiv
ed from Attorney General P. J. Lucey
of Springfield a reply to his recent in
quiry relative to the right of foreign
born women to vote at the approaching
election in this city when the matter
of a number of bond issues will be up
for consideration.
Mayor Schriver asJ.ed three ques
tions: If foreign born women, married
to naturalized aliens, can vote; if un
married alien women, whose fathers
were naturalized after tney were 21,
can vote; if unmarried women born
in this country of foreign parents can
vote. The attorney general answers
yes to the first and third questions and
no to the second.. The official states
that a fis--ign born woman marryicg
a naturalized alien is automatically
given the right to vote. However, the
unmarried alien woman will have to
get out papers before voting.
