1917. there were 24s cases pending

that number was reduced to 24t. Re-
gardless of the speed made the court
ia atill 244 cases behind. There were

The records OF the court show that
In 1917 the opinions written we're a.

Will. therefore. not be much larger

cial plea for the utilization Of the labor
OF high school boys. He said the boys
should be worked in groups under the
direction Of leaders and paid by the

Fully half of the thirty or more farm,

Edward F. Colladay, chairman Of the

man. He called on practically all the
growers for statements as to their
plans for trucking this season and
found that a majority Of them intend
to plant reduced acreages because Of .

women GET APPEAL To
: Join IN EARLY SHOPPING
Secretary Of Merchants Association
Points to Opportunity and
Duty In Matter.

Washington women who heed the ap-
peal to shop in the early morning hours
will be serving their own best inter-
ests and will aid in distributing the
crowds that now flock to the depart
ment stores in the afternoon, Charles ].
Columbus, secretary Of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association. point
ed out last night.
Mr.. Columbus said he believed the
average woman would realize that
when the stores are crowded the sales
women must give less time to each
customer in order that all may be
served. Because SO few start out early
in the morning, Mr.. Columbus con-
tinued, the statesmen and saleSwomen
stand idle from until II o'clock. fol-
lowed by a rush in the afternoon which
they find difficulty in serving.
TT is a logical sequence, said the
merchants secretary. that those who
buy in the morning hours are given
more attention and have freer and bet
ter opportunity for selection and de-
cisfon.
TT is, therefore. eminently worth
while that the public should realize not
only their responsibility. but their op-
portunity, in the matter Of meeting
their personal requirements in the
morning hours, and I am sure that
those who try 1t will not do their buy
ing at any other time"

Wheat Still Unthrashed.

(, C., G. Bohreo of Bethesda said that
he had about 200 bushels OF wheat from
last year that he had been unable to
get thrashed, and E. w. Chick Of the

OF his corn had been ruined because he
couldn't get the labor with which to
harvest It, Mr.. Chick said he had nf-,
teen, acres in truck last season, but
would not plant a single acre this year,
on account of the labor problem.
Mrs e; w. Sheriff Of Bennins told Of
the difficulty her husband was ex-t
perfencing to get his fifteen-acre truck
