KENTUCKY POSSE SEEKS
 YOUNG. GIRLS ASSAILANT
Believe Man Is Barricaded In House , And General Assault
 Is Planned

Mt. Sterling, Ky, Dec. 29.-Citizens here waited expectantly today for re- ports from possemen who are search ing in an isolated section of the 'hill' district of Menifee county for Reese Bryant. 32. charged with having at tackled Miss Mary Wells on Christmas Eve. According to report received here last night members of the posse, armed with army rifles obtained from the state arsenal in Frankfort, had surrounded the home of Bryants s tather-in law.
 Bryant is believed to be concealed in the house, according to the report. Officers plan, it is said. to order all occupants to vacate the building. In case the fugitive is in the house and refuses to obey the command 10 come out. possemen are to riddle the struc ture with bullets from the army rifles.
 That Bryant is in the home of his father-in law apparently has not been definitely established. however as re ports from other points were that the fugitive had escaped from the barri- caded house during the night follow ing the alleged attack and taken re- fuge in the heavily wooded hills. Bryant was said to .have been seen in the house the afternoon he was re- ported to have escaped and to have used his small son as q shield to pre- vent county officers from firing at him.
 Bryant, former convict, is alleged to have dragged the girl from horse while she was en route to the we'd ding of her brother
 A man passing interfered and was fired upon by Bryant. but Miss Wells escaped without having been injured seriously, officers said.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS FOR 1923
 SHOWS RAILROADS DID VERY WELL

1 other huge outlay next year. 1 Importation Of large quantities of cheap copper from Africa and South America unsettled the domestic cop. per market, despite the fact that con sumption was greater than ever be- fore. and in excess of domestic pro- duction. The sharp diminution in ex- port demand, due to the unsettled economic conditions abroad. sent the price Of the rc metal down to where but few companies could operate at a satisfactory prodt. One of the out standing developments in the industry was the purchase Of the Chile Cop per company and the American Brass company by the Anaconda Copper company
 rear Of a sugar shortage in mid summer. which jed to d temporary era oi heavy speculation in sugar futures, proved to be unfounded. Sugar pro- ducing companies succeeded in re- couping some Of the heavy postwar losses, dividends being resumed in a few cases.
 Cotton prices reached the highest
 
 shortage in the crop, que primarily to tn" i3.Nagcs cr the Lol weevil. Un- Seasonable weather and a heavy de- mand for the rtw IrCduct were other coitrihutory causes to the higher prices.
 Wheat Price Low
 Relatively low wheat prices. due to a reduction in export demand, over- production an l increased competition hy Canadian growers led to sugges- tons ot red dcel freight rates on grain for export by President Coolidge and prominent western legislators. Others farm product. showed material in cr"asts in yAlHr. particularly corn.

 Considerable, interest was aroused ir Financial aud business circles in the closing weeks of th" year by SeCrc- try Moljon'S recommendations for rojnctiou in income taxes, which was endorsed by President Coolidge in, his. first message to congress. The belief was widely held that the reductions proposed would do much 10 stimulate business activity in the coming year. !

Budapest, Dec. 29.-A bomb was hurled yesterday among the crowded dancers at Jewish women's charity ball in Chongrad. southern Hungary, killing two women and wounding 30.

BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, May 14.-When
the newspapers not long ago carried
the story of the North Dakota man
who received the astounding sum of
$1.30 for a carload Of potatoes, two
classes of people were in instant
agreement that something had to be
done about the humble spud that IS
so essential a food in every homeJ
City folk who frequently paid far
more for peck measure OF Muir
phies" than the northwestern grower
received for his carload, and farmers
who knew about those city prices
but could not get the benefit Of them.
both realized that there was some
thing radically wrong. Those North
Dakota potatoes sold for 1886, but
by the time the freight, inspection.
commission and other charges had
been met there was practically moth
ing left for the grower. He had pro-
duced a necessary article of food,
there was a good market for it and
the consumer had paid a fair price,
but he had only a few cents to show
for his seed and labor in growing,
harvesting and transporting his
product to the railroad.
1t is true that in this case 1t was
discovered subsequently that Y the
railroad company had made an Ner-
ror Of some twenty-five dollars in it's
charges. and that sum was refunded
to the farmer. but that did not ma
terially remedy the injustice. 1t was
apparent that if that sort of thing
were to continue, potato growing,
save for home consumption, would
cease. Something had to be don@
Marketing Body Formed
Well, as always develops in mat
tiers of that kind. something has been
dOne-was i'll process of being done
at the very time the North Dakota
farmer was achieving fame. Potato
growers have formed a cooperative
marketing association, making be-
ginning in this direction in the state
of Maine, and by next year it is
expected that similar organizations
will be doing business in New Jersey,
Virginia, Michigan, Minnesota, Wis
consin, North and South Dakota,
Colorado, Idaho and Utah. This CO.
operative plan is similar to the one
that has been tried out and found
successful from the producers
standpoint, at least-with citrus
fruits, prunes, tobacco, rice, cotton
and some other farm products
within the last few years.
Potatoes constitute the country's
largest food crop. in the number of
pounds consumed, and rank eighth
in point of total value. The nations
annual production aggregates about
350,O0O,0 900 bushels, with a value
roughly estimated at a minimum of
$500, 100000.
There are two outstanding features
in the development Of the potato in
