The publication of the basic facts in regard to the market ing of these products should lessen the risks assumed by those dealing in them and eliminate waste motion in their market distribution. This in turn should aid in reducing marketing ex- penses to the benefit of producers, deal CTS, and consumers.
 In general the news service for dairy and poultry products will be closely com parable to the market news service for shippers of perishable fruits and vege- tables, and live stock and meats, which has been developed within the last two years and in effect it will be an ex- tension of that service The aim will be to furnish accurate reports as to the total quantities of commercial stocks on hand in consuming centers, the quanti- ties in storage, and the quantities im- ported and exported, which will permit comparisons to be made of the stocks available at any time with those avail able at previous periods.
 The information will be gathered by field agents located in a number of im- portant markets and from cheese fac tories and oreameres and car-lot ship pers of eggs and poultry in many parts of the country The information will be distributed from Washington and from various branch offices

REPORT GRAIN, HAY AND SEEDS

Information which should assist in bringing together with minimum of ex pense and trouble producers of grain, hay and seeds and consumers of these products, such as millers, feeders of cat tie and planters, will be gathered by the bureau through an extension of it's market news service. At present con- siderable proportion of the supplies of these products pass to large central mar kets to be reshipped, in many cases to consuming points situated near the points of production. The furnishing of accurate information in regard to the supplies of grain, hay and seeds, their location, and the location of the demand for them, should eliminate much useless transportation and make for less expen- sive and more timely distribution
 The service for grain, hay and seeds will be conducted through agents of the bureau of markets in the 10 districts into which the country will be divided, and a large staff of volunteer reporters in the various producing and consuming sections. Reports summarizing the in formation will be published in Washing ton and at the branch offices. The bureau of crop estimates will cooperate in the work and will continue to esti- mate grain, hay and seed production and stocks on farms. The news service will deal with the supplies when they are about to enter and after they have en- tered commerce. In the main, especial attention will be given to producing areas and small markets not covered by dependable commercial reports Im- portation and exportation will be taken into account as well as movements, stocks and demand within the United States

 A Stenosrapher's Story.
 J. B. Ryan, the stenographer who had been in an adjoining room in the Gadsden hotel with Manager Dowell and Detective Refs of the Thiel agency and David BenshimOl while H. H. Hart was telling William Holther, another detective, how he and Pearson had manipulated the ballots in Douglas Precinct No. l. resumed the stand. He was examined in the same manner Holther had been the day before and identified the notes he had taken of the conversation in the other room. He said on cross examination that he was sitting next the connecting door but he could not hear all that had been said. He could not be shaken and then MT. Ives made an assault upon his competency as a stenographer Ryan acquitted himself on that point, whereupon the attorney asked that he be submitted to a test under the con- ditlons under which he had taken that versation-thrOugh door, It was at first proposed that the questions should be asked from the open cor ridor back of the court room. But it was shown that the conditions were not the same. There was a lack of reverDeration in the corridor with the wind sweeping across it. It was agreed that later in the day the conversation should take place between two rooms. but when court convened after noon no further allusiOn was made to the test
 The next witness was former United States Marshal Charles A. Overlook of Douglas who, with Detective Carr. was in the bath room of Holther's room at the Gadsden while the Holther- Hart conversation was in progress. Mr. Overlook was examined in the same manner as Holther and Ryan had been He had heard less of the conversation, but he had heard enough of it to cor roborate all the self-incriminating statements made by Hart.
 The memory Of the witness was at tackled on cross examination when MT Overlook explained something that had not before been mentioned That was that the notes from which Judge Sloan had been asking the questions did not set forth the conversation in the order Tn which the statements it contained had been made. He did not he said, pretend to remember the language of Holther and Hart. But when it was repeated to him he could identify it

 The WoodsNewman sheriffs con- test instituted by the democratic can dldate and which rested entirely on the vote in Snowflake precinct was abandoned three days ago. It will be remembered also that a gubernatorial contest was instituted in Navajo coun- " about the time the contest was start ed here. Some time thereafter some sort of stipulation was entered into by the attorneys here for the disposi- ton of that contest and when the mat ter was brought up here, it was uncer- tain whether it had been discontinued or had been consolidated with the pres ent contest. It was later agreed. since nothing of it could be found in the pleadlngs, that it had been dropped.

consideration of house appropriation bills, amending some of them with out debate. The house was engaged in sharp debate of the bone dry" prohibition measure, passed today by the senate. The principal phase dis cussed was whether the measure pro- hihits importation Of liquor for sac ramental or medicinal purposes. Con- struction of the law, it was said, did not permit importation of any kind. but it also was said the measure did not affect statutes passed in 1915 which expressly permit such inn portations
 The house declined to concur in senate reductions in the long appro- priation bill and the question of nam ing q conference committee on the measure was under consideration when the prohibition bill was re- ceived from the senate. The house dropped everything to consider this.
 Earlier in the day the house killed the senate bill amending the indus trial relations act, so that the stat utes governing the industrial ccm- mission remain unchanged.
