Baruch, a McAdoo sup porter in 1924, favors the Maryland Governor. i 1 Governor Donahey. the Times says, is considered handicapiied by the ne necessit.v of running this fall for the third term ns a means of keeping to the fore during the preconvention campaign.

The warehouseman was, of course, prosecuted, but. points out the bulletin, that did not pay the farmer for his grain. “A review of the storage losses of the past ten years sows lhat in prac tically all eases the losses would never have occurred, if the warehousemen had been operating under the United States warehouse act.” Under the law, the department says, when a warehouseman applies for license, the warehouse and the op erator are investigated, and the ware houseman is required to file a bond' before a license is granted. After being licensed, the warseliouse and its accounts are inspected periodically to show whether the requirements of the 1 act are being met, and especially to make certain that the products cov ered by receipts are actually in the warehouse. The law, points out the bulletin, is not compulsory; and the depart ment is urging farmers to prevail up on their local warehousemen to be come licensed.
