Local Men
Buy Plant
AT Toledo

The purchase OF the Toledo
Canning company plant at Toledo
by group Of local packers who
will start operations In few
days under the name OF the Yaqui
ma Bay Packing Co., has been an
nounced. Fred Kurtz, manager
of the Producers Canning and
Packing Co. Of this city is the
principal investor.
The deal has been under consi-
deration for sometime by the local
men, who decided to take over
the plant from Toledo bankers as
soon as they learned Of the OPEN
ing there. The plant has about
one-fourth the capacity of the
Producers Packing and Canning
Co. but 1t is expected that be-
tween 10 and 20 carloads Of can
ned goods will be turned out be-
fore the season closes.
Robert J. Newton, who has
been connected with the Pro-
ducers' Canning and Packing Co.
for sometime will be manager Of
the new venture, and will begin
operations as soon as the black
berry crop of Toledo is ready.
Local men deny the report that
there Is any connection between
the Producers Canning and Pack
ing Co., or the old Kurtz 8 Co.
and the new organization. They
also say that the announcement
that blackberrles on the coast
will go at cents pound was
not authorized by the packers,
and that the probability is that
the coast price will not reach A
cents.

A Huge War Finance Credit.

Washington, July AIN a state
ment of its financial condition, issued
today, the war finance corporation
showed a cash credit on hand with
the treasurer of the United States OF
$4o3,S27,77I.2o. Outstanding loans
amounted to $oo,oo3,S3o. 80, of which
$o5,836,47o.5o represented loans made
under its war powers. Outstanding
loans under export finance authori-
ty totaled $34o47,35o.8o. Total loans
heretofore made aggregated $3.50, $780,
o4o.5S and repayments aggregated
$3.50, ,2Io.1o.
While the 400 million dollar credit
with the treasurer would be available
for payments to the railroads in the
event of the passage of legislation
suggested to congress by President
Harding, corporation officials de-
clared it probably would not be con-
sidered advisable to withdraw the
whole sum from the treasury, as it
would necessitate the treasury's bor-
rowing the money for the purpose,
which could be done by the corpora
ton itself.

JAPAN's ACCEPTANCE IS IN
Now the Way il Open to Issue Call
for Conference.

II for Conference.
i Washington, July 27.-Secretary
Hughes announced today receipt Of =
note expressing the willingness OF
Japan to accept an invitation to the
Washington conference on the limita-
ton of ornaments and on the Far
Eastern and Pacific questions.
Great Britain, France and Italy al
ready have signified readiness to ac-
cept, and with Japan consenting,
President Harding now will proceed
to issue the formal invitations to the
powers to meet III Washington, prob
ably next November. China has
agreed to accept, and other Far East
ern nations will be invited to partici-
pate.
| Japan consented to participate in
the discussion OF the Far Eastern and
Pacific questions only as the result
Of persuasion by Mr. Hughes, and in
its note Toxic gives notice of an i'll
tention to-resist consideration by the
conference of problems such as are of
sole concern to certain particular
powers or such matters that may be
regarded as accomplished facts"
Japan does not regard such ques-
tons as having a bearing upon the
common understanding in regard to
Far Eastern and Pacific problems, de-
sired as a basis for mutual reduction
of ornaments, and deems it advisable
to omit such questions from the
agenda of the conference.
Both the cession OF Shantung to
Japan and the inclusion of zap in the
Japanese mandate for the former
German islands i'll the North Pacific
are regarded by Japan as accom-
plshed facts" The American gov
crnment does not SO regard them and
will not regard these questions as
settled until they are settled right"
as one official put it.
There is, therefore, a prospect of
clash between Japan and the other
powers on the formulation OF the pro-
gram OF questions to be discussed

Mexican Crop Outlook Dark.

The City of Mexico, July 28.-A
gloomy crop report for virtually the
entire republic was issued last nigh,
by the department of agriculture
which assigned the lack of rain, pests
and the unwillingness Of farmers ia
cultivate their lands as the CHIEF
causes.
The report says the northern states
of chihuahua, Neuvo Leon, and Goa
hula suffered the heaviest, necessitat-
ing heavy imports of grains, while no
state produced more than so per cent
of the usual crops of rice and beans.
: The banana crop in Tabasco was
lost because of the cold weather,
which also caused a loss of 50 per
cent in the sugar crop in the state of
Nayarite, the report states.
