They are among firms ordered to desist by the secretary of agricul- ture in Connectiction with the 1922 boycott of the Producers livestock commission company q cooperative.
 Opposition of boards of trade. livestock exchanges and dealers gen. orally to the farm board financing cocperatives is in the background of the St. Louis case, although the buying company has not used q dol lar of government funds.
 Comparative figures on the busi- ness of 37 operators in the St. Louis market for the week ending October II show the producers company handled 19.7 per cent of the total receipts, or 2S5 cars of the 1.433 re- ceivcd, as against PAS cars handled by the Farmers livestock commis- sion company, the closest competi- tor.
 The farmers company, a coopcra- tive not affiliated with the national livestock marketing association, is a defendant in the boycott case. The largest number of cars handled by any commission firm was 79.
 It is estimated that coop"rstives usually handle about 60 per cent of the hog receipts at St. Louis and about 40 per cent of the cattle and sheep. Commission firms challenge tho estimate.
 Department of agriculture figures show that livestock cooporativcs, operating on 22 markets, did q total business of $3t4,522.632 in 1929. marketing a total of l2,755,6i7 ami mals.

 Defense counsel is expected to be headed by James A Reed, former senator from Missouri.
 The St. Louis market IS second only to Chicago as the largest hog mar kct in inc world. IL is famous for a light hog favored by eastern pack CTS and largely for that reason has developed the worlds largest order buying business for hogs.
 Packers pay Sl. car for the
 service of order buying com
 panics. The profit to bc made
 in buying mixed lots of hogs
 and feeding and grading them
 tu the higher priced types
 usually sought on eastern or
 derS has made the order buy
 ing business in many instances
 much moro profitable than the
 selling end of the trade.
 Convinced that q cooperative as aociation could pass order buying profits back to the producer in the form Of higher prices for his stock, the National livestock marketing as sociauon organized the National order buying company which, at St. Louis, took over the old Potts Watkins order buying company.
 It began operation August 4, 1880. and soon, it is charged found it i'm possible to buy sufficient stock from commission firms to fill it's orders.

 He said the plan involved the prospect Of limiting order buying to one concern Ghc National order buying company which hc believed would destroy rather than build up inc open competitive market
 Possible conspiracy is a factor in inc case and interest in tho Moody letter ccnters around tho fact that he wrote it as president Of the cx- change rather than as the head of his oHn company.

ton Of the remains Of the two explor.
ers and the state Of the documents after
being exposed for thirty-three years to

The finding of the bodies Of Andree

Andree's fate after third Of century
has arrested the attention Of the world.
Now there Is the keenest sympathetic
curiosity in the story Of the expedition
and It's tragic failure as revealed by the
notebooks which the leader with such
pitiful care sought to preserve after
his death. In whatever form those
books may tell that story, into what

narrative, condensed, disjointed maybe,
will stand as an epic of heroism.

Maine Friendly Toward
Canadian Mail FIying

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
Dwellers in the villages OF Northern
Maine soon may hear the night mail
flying over, but 1t will not be the United
States that gives the service. Canada
has asked for the privilege of eStab-
hShing aerodromes to serve as guides in
night flying and as emergency landing
fields for planes carrying the mail be-
tween Montreal and Moncton, rail-
road center in New Brunswick. Sec
Rotary of State StinSon brought the
request to the attention of Gov. Gardi-
ner. The Maine executive informs the
Secretary that there are no known OBJ
Jections to the Canadian proposal.
Canada has already granted permis.
sion for United States mail carriers to
fly along the northern shore of Lake
Erie.
A glance at the map is SUFFICIENT re-
minder of the way In which Northern
Maine projects into Canada. The nat
ural route for communication between
the maritime provinces and Montreal is
across Maine. 1t has been utilized in
the construction of q portion of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad there. That
it should now become part of the air.
way would seem to be reasonable. The
granting of the necessary permission
may be looked upon as an act Of neigh
borly courtesy. Had the possibilities Of
the navigation of the air been under
stood when the northeastern boundary
dispute was settled by the Webster.
Ashburton treaty It IL entirely probable
that provision would have been made
for Canada's use of the air above the
State, as 1t was provided that Maine
might use the waters of the St. John
for rafting timber. But flying did not
figure in the diplomacy of 1912.
AS things are, however. the Canadian
mail under the arrangements proposed
may soon be flying across the woods
and the potato fields Of Northern Maine.
Included in Maine are about seven.
twelfths of the lands involved in the
boundary dispute. To give Canada
certain rights Of way across them is in
keeping with the friendly spirit that
has existed along the border since the
bloodleSs Aroostook War passed into
history.

The Time Annihilators.

Paris TO Dallas with one stop in a
trifle more than two days flying timel
More than five thousand five hundred
miles ct better than q hundred miles
an hour! These are figures to conjure
with, and they drive home the fact
that good plane In the hands Of a
skilled pilot is the greatest time ami
hilator that has ever been wrought for
the use Of man. The fastest time that
Capt. Coste and Bellonte could have
made, If they had not chosen to make
the trip in their sturdy and speedy
plane, would have been about q week,
and in order TO accomplish it in this
period they would have to ride one Of
the fast transatlantic liners and then
transfer to express trains for the two
day run from New York to Dallas. 1t
takes Just such comparison to appre-
ciate what It means to save Ave days
out Of seven in trip Of this length.
The intrepid French flyers proved
again that their airmanship was of the
Lindbergh variety when they success
fully completed a Decline flight from
New York to Dallas In a little more
than eleven hours. To the layman 1t is
a marvellous achievement for an airman
flying over strange terrain to navigate
30 well that he hits his destination on
the nose. To veteran like Capt Coste
1t is simply another incident in his
brilliant flying career and he probably
experienced no more difiiculty in find-
ing his way over these fourteen hun
dred miles of the United States than
he would on his old route between Paris
and London.
Washington In anxious 70 greet
Frances premier airmen and the COM
ing week end will be an occasion long
to remember. No Washingtonian has
forgotten the thrills of the day when
the Lone Eagle" was triumphantly
brought up the Potomac on a Navy
cruiser or when the famous Spirit of
st. Louis was exhibited on q barge tied
up near Hams Point. Coste and Bel
lorte have performed Just as dificult a
feat as Lindbergh's and they should be
accorded the same sort of welcome that
our unofncial ambassador received
abroad. washington awaits their ar
rival.

of hot American town. Nevertheless,
there seemed TO be Q disposition
throughout the country TO look upon
washington as q boiling point, though
It's record OF heat prostrations and Of
deaths from that cause was much lower
than those Of many other centers Of
population.
Last Monday was one Of the hot days
of the year, bareback as it were from
the Midsummer 'sizzard." Being Labor
day, it was the occasion Of the annual
parade Of the fremen of the District
and It's neighbors. A good many thou
sand people assembled on Pennsylvania
avenue to watch the spectacle, which
was well worth observing even at the
cost of a little physical discomfort.
Probably $4,000 persons were massed
along the line of march. About sixty Of
them collapsed from the fatigue Of
standing and from the heat of the sun.
Practically every case was a minor one,
the sufferers being quickly revived and
restored to full health. Yet the news
went out that sixty persons had been
overcome by heat in washington on
Monday owing to the intensity Of the
suns rays at the Capital.
This bare announcement, unaccom-
panied by a statement of the conditions,
goes into the making Of Washington's
undeserved reputation as the hottest city
in America Nothing can be done about it.
The Federal Weather Bureau has no au-
thority to conduct campaign of edu-
cation on this point. All that can be
undertaken Is to assure the people of
the country that II they choose to visit
the Capital In Summertime they will
have no more trouble on the score of
the heat than they will encounter in
New York or Chicago, Philadelphia or
Baltimore, Cincinnati or st. Louis.
Indeed, with the wider spaces of the
streets and the parks, and with the
cooling effect of the river and the near
by mountains, washington, with all its
occasional high temperatures, is pretty
comfortable city the year round, the
Summer included.

One Of the rules rigidly adhered 10
by Van Lear Black, late chairman of
the Baltimore Sun board, was that the
running OF a newspaper was the bust

Virginia coal mine troubles the editors
decided to have an investigation and
70 use for that purpose w. Jett Lauck,
economist for the miners organization,
ana staff man. Each was to write
q separate report, one checking the
other. Mr.. Black, who had been finan-
cially concerned with coal Operations
all MS life, was told of the arrange
nent. Who are you going to send from
the staff to check Lauck?" he asked.
When he was told, he chuckled for a
moment and then commented, well,
he'll be more radical in his report than
Lauck." That was all, according to the
