Mississippi Valley Lumbermen, and other defendants, involving the ques- uon whether merely conveying in formation" to the reail dealers about 'unethical' dealers can be a con- spiracy in restraint of trade De cision is expected soon, and it is possible that the case will be carried to a higher court whichever way it is decided
 Following more than three years Of taking testimony, arguments were made here on December II. There is little controversy between the gov ernment and the lumbermen over the fact involved. The issue is whether lumbermen are violating the law by merely getting information aboG, manufacturers and wholesalers WbC sell lumber direct to consumers and giving it out to the retail trade I He natural effect of this is that retail dealers quit buying their lum- Der from wholesalers who are help ing their enemies The government maintains that this is a continuing conspiracy and a combination in restraint of trade"

 English officers with more than a knowledge of restaurant French are not common, while the enlisted men who have been abhe to pick up Him dustanee of various jargons in the Bri- tish colonies find themselves lost as far as French is concerned. Neither the French nor the English can pro- nounce the others language in an un- derstandablc way when they do pick up words. on account of spies among the civilians who have often been used as interpreters on the front, it Was felt necessary to have a corps vouched for by the French government.

 The parcel post wagons were slosh ing around all day. By nightfall the undistributed mail remaining in the postoffice consisted only of that for which no address except general de- livery could be found, or for which the addressees would call. In other words, the mail possible to be de- livered under the circumstances, what ever, was delivered before the office closed

 The delay in the arrival of parcels though they may have been mailed at the same time as letters, is ex- plained by the terminal system, by which the postoffice department con ducts it's parcel post. In all cases where there is short mail at any
 
 a sort of collecting office, there to be remailed. For instance, mail from Needles comes direct to Phoenix. But parcels must go to the terminal at Los Angeles, and there undergo several processes of distribution, be- fore finally arriving in the Phoenix car.
 Delays beyond regular mail, may be one day, two days or in some extreme cases q whole week Post master Wood said last night
