the Central Western markets the II by

orally used, and on the Pacific Coast
both this size and the large bale pre-

To avoid differences between buyer
and seller 1t Is suggested that a few
simple rules be kept In mind. The
seller should state clearly all neces-
sary factors, including quality and
quantity of hay, time at or within
which shipment can be made, routing,
rates, price, and terms Of payment.
All sales should be confirmed by let
ter, stating all terms included In the
original offer. When confirmation Is
received from the buyer any items
that appear incorrect should be cor
rected Immediately. Since much of
such business Is transacted by tele.
phone or telegraph brevity Is neces.
sary, but few extra words will often
save much trouble and money. Sam
pie kilograms covering various con
ditions are given In the bulletin.
Best Time TO Market.
The time OF marketing makes a
great deal of difference In the price
received for hay. Statistics compiled
by the department and tabulated In
this publication show that for q pc
riod of ten years ending In 1921 the
highest average prices at two large
markets were reached In April FOL

for timothy. The months Of highest
price are Just before the new crop
begins to come on the market.

the bulletin, should secure all the In

New York, May 12.-A discerning individual in the stands arose on his haunches at the start of the seventh inning at the Polo Grounds Wednes- Iav and looking toward the Yankee bench. delivered himself of the fol- lowing:
 tramps? This guys getting away with murder"
 The "guy'' in question was Charley Robertson, recruit pitcher of the White Sox who twirled a perfect no hit game against the Tigers some days ago. and if he was getting away with murder. so then is Jack Demp- sew. Thomas Edison, Mary Pickford and Warren G. Harding.
 It was New York's first glimpse Of tbe new sensation, and although the merry villag gers hailed him with bench at the end of each inning. the popuIar verdict seemed to be that robertson did not have much.
 Perhaps he didn't. Perhaps. also. that was the reason The Tanks failed to get more than two lone hits through the first six innings of that hall game. Perhaps, too, it account ed for the fact that the Yankees, af- ter sending over the tying run with three singles in the seventh. were 111tirn teIy were beaten in the eleventh inning. with Carl Mays, their ace, doing his underhanded stuff through out.

 This is the answer, as it always will be. It is the ultimate and final test of good and bad pitching.

Railroads To Insist On Wage Reduction

Among the railroad presidents who will attend the rate dinners at the White House on May 20, by invitation of President Harding, will be practi- cally all Of the leaders of the Eastern group and most of the Westerners- It is known that A. H. Smith will repre- sent the New York Central, Samuel Rea. the Pennsylvania, Hale Holden the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy: Daniel Willard, Baltimore & Ohio; Judge Robert M. Lovvett the UnaOn Erie, Julius Kruttscmitt the Southern Pacific and Howard Elliott the North ern Pacific.
 As the invitation has been extended to fifteen executives, the makeup of the balance of the list is not known sS yet. It is believed by railroad circles here that the executives most likely to be selected are B. F. Bush, of the Missouri Pacific; Fairfax Harrison. of the Southern; Edward J. Pearson. of the New Haven; Ralph Budd, of the Great Northern; w. B. Storey, of the .Atchison, Topeka x Santa Fe; W. L. 'Mapother,- of the Louisville & Nash yille, and c. H. Markham, of the Illi- nois Central
 g While the invitations received by the railroad executives is rather general in scope it is believed that the meeting will attempt to solve the rate problem, In this event the railroads will likely contend that further rate cuts without corresponding decreases in wages would be a financial irnpcssibility On the other hand, if any assurance can DC given of wage cuts to be made. railroad executives might consider making rate cuts in anticipation

 President Harding was reported to share the concern of the administra- ton spokesmen over the little pro- gross that has been made with the m measure during the two weeks it has been before the Senate.
 Senator Lodge said that he was going ahead with his plan to hold the Senate in continuous night ses- sions beginning today unless the Democratic filibuster he charged was being conducted against the bill was abandoned.

SENATOR'S MAKE
 THREAT TO KILL
 SOLDIERS BONUS
By J. BART CAMPBELL,
 I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.

Washington, May 12.-Senatorial opponents of the Soldiers Bonus threatened to attempt to kill it with a carefully organized filibuster. yes terday in case Senator McCumber, Republican, of North Dakota. chair man of the Senate Finance commit tee, persists in carrying out his plan to report a bonus bill, and to displace the tariff bill for it.
 McCumber declared that he had no intention of abandoning his plan, and he was not alone among the Republican leaders in predicting that a bonus will be passed at this session despite the avowed intention of the anti-bonus senators. Republicans and Democrats to talk it to death. It was plainly intimated by McCumber that the expected rejection of his substi- ute for the House Bonus Bill by President Harding might soon result in a final test of strength between the proponents and opponents of the Soldiers Bonus.
 A number of Republican Senat tors are known to be wavering because of information reaching them that the President is not favorably inclin- ed toward the enactment of any bonus legislation at this time.
 The situation is one that is giving administration spokesmen in the senate grave concern. They are un- persuade McCumber not to press his plan. They are said to have found a number of others on the Republi- can side as adamant as McCumber that a bonus bill shall be passed They are looking to the President to help them prevent an open split in the Republican ranks, and he is said to have promised developments soon which may prevent the bonus from being injected into the tariff tangle
 The administration leaders frankly confess that they do not want the bonus mixed with the tariff at this time. They are experiencing enough trouble to speed up consideration of the tariff bill even by holding senate in session from eleven a. m. to eleven D. m, without having the bonus be- come the subject of unlimited debate as its opponents predict it will if i, is brought up now
