GETS LONDON
ON RADIO SET
Mrs. Owens, of Horse Heav.
en- Sets Long Distance
Reception Record

To Horse Heaven goes the DIX ra-
dio record, probably for all time to
come. Mrs. Minnie Owens, during the
recent radio test week. received a
program from London, England.
Mrs. Owens reports that at quarter
to nine on Friday night she turned
on the switch, the dial settings re-
manning from previous setting, and
was astonished to hear musical Sc
lections followed by the announce
ment of the station. In an attempt
to amplify the tones part of the vol
ume was lost, but she heard the an
nouncement the second time before
the local stations took the air.
She is confident that the program
came half way around the world.
Other local sets have been picking
up the eastern stations, those in the
south coming in with the best volume.
Mexico City seems to be an easy one
to get.

ming in the Commercial club rooms,

bers Of the club and others inter-
ested are invited to be present with

SCOUT BANQUET
TOMORROW EVE
Celebrate 18th Anniversary
with Father and Son.
Entertainment

This week the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea are celebrating the 18th anniver-
sary of the establishment of the or
ganization in this country. AS its own
printed matter defines it, the Boy
Scouts of America is an organization
for character building and citizenship
training of boys, regardless of. race,
nationality or creed.
The local observance of this event
will be held in the Methodist church
tomorrow, taking the form of ban
quet, at which fathers and sons will
eat together, each learning from the
other. Scouts without dads OF whose
dads are unable to come will be fur
nished with one for the evening. A
suitable program has been prepared,
one of the features of which will be
the initiation Of a Tenderfoot, using
the candle service. A demonstration
of the scout law will be put on by
the pick of one of the troops, and a
talk by Rev. Reichard, of Walla Wal
la will also be feature.
The banquet is in the nature Of a
"father and son" event, the scouts
to be accompanied by their fathers,
and other men interested in the work
will be provided with .sons" if they
will indi cate desire. About thirty
tickets have been disposed of.
The organization has proved itself
peculiarly adapted to the demands
of the American boy and the rapid
growth of the Boy Scout idea thru
out the nation is proof Of its popu-
larity with the boys. And yet the sur
face of possibility has hardly been
scratched. For every boy in scout
troop there are ten outside, altho
eligible. In the 16 years of scouting
in the United States, it is estimated
that 100000 boys have registered as
scouts and have pledged themselves
to observe the scout oath and laws.

MOULTON FLAYS
HARTLEY PLAN
Legislator Applauded by
Community Club at Ben
ton Slap at Prior

When he vigorously assailed the
Governor Roland H. Hartley regime
in meeting in Benton City last week
Mark M. Moulton of Kennewick, state
representative, was voted the conf
dence and support Of the Benton City
Community club, says the Yakima
Herald. Approximately $50 persons
attended.
In his talk, Moulton assailed Gov
ernor Hartley's policy and asserted
that altho Hartley was elected on q
platform of tax reduction and prom
ised a business administration, he
has failed to live up to his promises
and made no progress with his busi-
ness administration.
The speaker attacked Governor
Hartley's reclamation program, de-
claring that he has not studied the
question and consequently is not ca
pable of formulating sane policy
to handle reclamation problems.
Moulton cited several other instances
to show that the governor has failed
to do ss he promised when he ap-
peared before the legislature prior
to the special session dismissed last
month.
Governor Hartley promised us he
would malqe thoro investigation of
state institutions in order that the
needs might be made known and that
something might be done for them" "
Moulton brot out. "His report showed
how unreliable and inaccurate his in
quiry had been. In several cases a
mere cursory investigation that made
no real effort to obtain actual facts. I"
