MOTHERS STATE AID
HOLDS HOME TOGETHER

Harrisburg, Pa, March 12.-The
mothers assistance fund Of this state
has decreased the number Of delin-
quency cases in Pennsylvania courts.
This law was passed in 1913, and is
intended to assist needy mothers,
whose husbands are dead or insane,
in supporting their children in their
own homes.
Reports from the 50 counties where
mothers assistance i given indicate
that the law is operating successfully
and that the fund is a preventative of
disease. papuerism and delinquency.
The fund is now assisting 1900
families. including 1866 children
under 16. The AVERAGE monthly as
sistance per family Is $3.50, which
has not been found to be sufficient in
all cases. 1t is estimated that there
are from $500 to 6,000 families, in
those now being assisted, on
the waiting list and that state ap-
oropriation of S3,250000 is required
to cover these needs. Friends of the
law declare that this appropriation
would be a good Investment by the
state from the standpoint of economy
education and health as well as hu-
mainly and spiritual progress.
A pending bill calls for an appro-
priation of $1,750,000 which is the
same amount as the fund received two
years ago.

HEAVY RAIN FALLS

This valley was visited by two
quite heavy rain storms this week,
one about noon on Wednesday and
the other between and z o'clock
Thursday evening. The latter
storm was accompanied by consid.
cradle lightning and thunder. and
a hail storm about mile wide that
cut in from the northwest point Of
Gable mountain through the In-B-
tween neighborhood to the Colum-
bia river, is repor ted to have done
some damage to the cherries and
apples and to have cut leaves badly
from the fruit trees. Very Little
hail fell at White Bluffs and Han
ford. The rainfall was the heav-
lest that has fallen in this district
for some time. The moisture will
help the road and be of much ben
eft to the new seeding of all kinds.
The rain was especially welcomed
by wheat growers in Horse Heaven
and Rattlesnake hills and on the
east side of the Columbia. j o.
Maupin, star route mail carrier,
says the rainfall at Kennewick was
exceptionally heavy, the water fill
ing the streets and running over
the sidewalks.
The storm between Yakima and
White Bluffs reached the proper
tions of a cloud burst and the new
grade between Cold Creek and Yak
ina was so badly damaged that it
was impossible Friday. the stage
