READY TO REPORT
MARKETING DATA

A report on the marketing and
transportation facilities of the
country will be made public within
a few days by the joint commission
on agricultural industry, of which
Representative sydney Anderson is
chairman. The policy of the inves-
tigation has been to determine the
basic facts of the relation OF the
railroads to the shippers and receiv-
ers of commodities.
The labor Of more than 1900 per-
sons for a period of three months
is represented in the data about to
be presented, Anderson said. The
object Of the investigation is to
make possible recommendations for
legislation which would remedy ex-
isting conditions.

Pestalozzi once answered when

Their sorrows are my sorrows and
their joys are my joys. Their faces
are the first faces l see in the

voices l hear at night"
The experiment with the platoon
system in Washington is a success

tions" has undoubtedly been a con-
tributing factor in Lloyd Georges
decision to go to Washington with
in a week. The premier will sail
on the Aquitania on Saturday.
The only obstacle to Lloyd
Georges intentions would be a sud
den turn in the Irish peace nego-
tiations, following Sir James Craig's
pronouncement to the Ulster par
Lament on Tuesday, which might
delay his departure.
1t is indicated that most British
officials, not at all surprised at the

time for advancement OF the sug-

doing he may be able to restore in

The press as a rule is not COM
