According to a letter of Secretary
Of State Thomas Hall, to Governor
Frazier, under date of March 16, not
flying him of the filing of the initia-
tive petitions, there was an average
Of 1s,449 signers to these petitions.
Actual count Of the number Of signers
reveals. however, that the number was
only 1908. This is in accordance with
a list furnished by the Secretary Of
State at the request of Attorney Cen
eral Lemke. The impression had some
how gone forth from sources in the
office of the Secretary of State that
the signers totaled around sixty
thousand and only about one-third Of
the number had been made public.
When asked for the lists that had not
been made public, however, Maurice
Duffy, deputy to Tom Hall admitted
that there were not any more names
and Mr.. Hall himself made the state
ment that one or two additional lists
had come in but they did not amount
to anything. T.
Adams, Billings, Hettinger and
Mercer counties have the distinction
of having contributed no names 70
the initiative petitions. Bowman coun-
ty came across with the magnified to-
tai of 8 signers. Barnes county, with
one of the largest towns of the state,
Valley City, contributed only % sign
ers all coming from one of the smaller
towns of the county. Cass, Richland,
Cavalier and Grand Forks counties
take, high rank in the order named
for contributing to the rank petitions.
Very few, probably not 10 than s
per cent Of the signatures, originated
in the country precincts. In most Of
the counties no attempt had been
made to circulate the petitions in the
farming communities. The list Of
counties, togethers with the signers in
each is given below. .

CUSTOMERS SECURED
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Persons at Summer Resorts Buy
Produce in Winter.
City People Have Inspected Producers
Farm and Know Under What Con-
ditions Foodstuffs Are Raised
One case Cited.

Many producers living near summer
resorts supply produce in the summer
months to the persons at the resorts,
and during the other months Of the
year ship produce to these persons
while they are in the city. This, say
marketing specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, Is
one Of the best methods Of obtaining
customers for direct marketing, as the
producer and consumer have some ac-
quaintance. In most instances the GUS
toners have been at the producers
farm and know under what conditions
the articles are produced.
One man who lives near a summer
resort in Indiana is about twelve miles
from the nearest town of any size. He.
does not desire to drive to this town to
dispose of his farm produce and IS not
satisfied with the prices. that the huck-
sters pay. Consequently he built up a
business of supplying products to re
sorters in the summer and Of shipping
produce by parcel post and express to
these persons at their city homes In
the winter.
The principal products shipped are
butter, eggs and dressed poultry. This
producer uses good shipping containers
and produce attractively. AS he
is acquainted with his customers, he
renders statements Of accounts only
once q month. In this way the matter
OF making payments Is simplified for
the customers.
This producer has had no trouble In
establishing his business nor IN retain
Ing customers. He states that his only
trouble has been In getting enough
high-grade produce to supply all of his
customers.

NAVAJO COUNTY WROUGHT

Lake City, it would look as though Arizona had been isolated as far as transcontinental motor traffic was con- cerned. The building or improving of the road across Apache county to con- meet with the road which New Mexico has built and is building from Albu- querque west with the aid of the fed eral government, was built through written assurance of the Arizona high way department to the state highway commission of New Mexico, expecting they would be met at the state line with appropriations by Arizona to make the National Old Trails the greatest and best transcontinental highway of the nation. This was a necessity and vital to the National Old Trails road and to the people of north- ern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. New Mexico has seemingly misplaced her confidence. The people of Arizona are in bad repute Both New Mexico and Arizona are the suf- ferers.
 With lapse of two years without improvements upon this particular section of road, the imense motor traf- fic of the National Old Trails will have departed for other roads and instead of carrying 60 to 70 per cent of the transcontinental traffic, it will be car rying 20>per cent or less. With an es- timated average of 30,000 automobiles yearly over this road, or 90,0O0 to 100000 people visiting Arizona annu- ally by motors, this number will have dropped to a trifle. Arizona is the loser. Northern Arizona has right to feel that it has been neglected, pork barrel or no pork barrel, and nothing of swinish nature to put in it, if it had it.

NEW ATTACK ON
 DRY LAW MADE

WASHINGTON.-An entirely new attack on the validity of the prohibit tion amendment, based upon the re- quirement that it be ratified within seven years was made Monday in the supreme court.
 The attack was made in brief filed by counsel for J. J. Dillon, of San Francisco, charged with violation of the prohibition enforcement act. Dill Ion is seeking writ of habeas corpus. The provision attacked was offered first by then Senator Harding when the amendment was being proposed in the senate.
 The section making the entire arti- cle imperative unless ratified within seven years, the brief asserts, specifi- cally violates article five of the consti- tuition, which gives congress no power to impose limit on ratification "or to otherwise attempt to control what the legislatures of the states shall do in their, deliberations"

A number of Bisbee urchins were found by Policeman Plananich playing with a four-inch rifed cannon shell which, on investigation, was found loaded. It seemed to have been fired, possibly in one of the Mexican border fights, and had failed to explode, though the timing device was intact and a shock might have caused ex- plosion. The boys had hammered in the timer in an effort to get at the contents of the shell.
