Don't be In a hurry to dig your

shipper. During the rast week Mr..
McDavitt has prevailed on a num-
Der of growers to refrain from dig
ging potatoes fer n week or ten days.
Weather conditions in the North

the Valleys markets is too cold. and
experience has proved that there is
never a strong demand for new po-
tatces when such weather conditions
prevail" Mr.. McDavitt said. Grow
ers digging potatoes now are sacri-
ficing tonnage. and there is every
indication that the market will be MS
strong next week. If not stronger,
he added.
The advisory board of the Rio

citation will meet Saturday afternoon
and will set the first price OF the
season. Shippers and growers are
ccnfident~th with favorable wealth

also sustained some damage. grow
ers report. The bean yield u ex-
peeted 70 prove extensive. The cooler
damage to the potato crop IL not ex-
pected to prove extensive. The coolei
weather Friday will materially i'm
prove crop conditions.

have been shipped the past week. and
a large volume has moved BY ex-
press, growers receiving around {
cents per pound. Bean shipments

growers receiving $3.50 per hamper

LILLIAN G|SH FACES
SUIT FOR S5,0OO,0(|)
Co-Defendants With Film
Star in Breach of Contract
Action Dismissed.
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES. April 20.-The S.
100000 breach of contract suit of
Charles Duell against Lillian Gish,
film star. was virtually dismissed against
all of the defendants except the actress
by a ruling in Superior Court yester-
day.
As a result of the courts ruling. no
testimony will be taken concerning
Louis B. Mayer, the Mayer Gold
wyn Corporation and the Metro-Gold-
wvn- Mayer Distributing Corporation
the other defendants in the suit, in
which Duell accuses the actress of fall
ing to keep film contract with him.
The ruling came when Duel was
placed on the stand to testify concern
ing his charges of breach OF contract
on Miss Gishs part and the conspiracy
toward the breach of the contract on
the part of the other defendants.
Then Attorney George S. Loeb, who
represented all the defendants but Miss
Gish. objected to the taking of teSti-
mony concerning his clients, holding
there was no evidence in the complaint
to constitute a cause of action against
Mayer or the picture company. His
objection was sustained.
The court denied the request OF Miss
Gishs attorneys to hear arguments on
n motion to throw the case out of
court on grounds that 1t had been tried
before. The attorney pointed out that
a Federal judge had given verdict
in favor of Miss Gish.
