NEW DISCOVERY!

We have discovered (and recov
cred from the surprise) that the
class of '33 is the best bunch Of
party throwers ever admitted to
the high school.
After the Pep rally Friday night
the Frosh threw party in honor
of the Sophomores. With Betty
Beamer and Howard Day in charge
of the proceedings; it was really
exciting from the very first.
The action, as usual, was start
ed with athree deep". To make
the game more exciting and COM
plicated Mr.. Barbee started three
couples on the "Hat Chase Con-
sequently, grand mix up was the
result. Among the collisions was
the smash-up which occurred when
Bruno rounded the corner of the
circle" and ran head-on into Bar
beei (neither were injured.)
Probably the most interesting
game was '@The Truth, the Whole
Truth and Nothing but the Truth. !"

WHEAT LOANS

Increased supplemental loans on
wheat to cooperative associations
so the grower-members Of those
organizations may Withhold their
grain from the present depressed
marketing with the hope of obtain
ing better price was announced
in Chicago Saturday afternoon, on
October 26, by the Federal Farm
Board. This action was in harmony
with that taken on October 81 to
help the cotton growers through
their cooperatives. Chairman Logge
issued the following statement in
regard to the wheat situation and
the Farm Boards plan of dealing
with it:
"The Federal Farm Board be-
lieves that, based on known world
supply, the present prevailing
prices for wheat are too low. The
Board believes that this unsatis-
factory price level is chiefly due
to the rapid or disorderly move
ment which is putting a large part
of the years supply of wheat on
the market within short time.
"The unprecedented liquidation
of industrial stocks and shrinkage
in values within the last few days
has also had an effect on wheat
values which is entirely unwar-
ranted and wheat producers should
not be forced to sell on market
affected by these conditions.
"The Board also believes that
the remedy lies in more orderly
marketing. In order to assist the
wheat farmer to hold back tnen
crops and at the same time nays
money with which to pay their Cd
LEGATIONS, the Board proposes u
loan to wheat cooperatlves, quail

a little later, possibly about the
middle of December, would be q
better time for meetings of this
kind, than during November.
Tentative plans are being made
to hold four such meetings in the
county December Is to 10, inclus-
i've. These meetings will probably
be held in the Kennewick, Rich
land, Prosser and White Bluffs
communities. An attempt will be
made to secure Roy Jones, field
manager of the Yakima Valley
Dairy Development League to dis
cuss some of these problems with
dairymen. He is particularly well
qualified for this work.

ASSURED
ALCOHOL SUPPLY
Prohibition Chief Reveals
Process for Production From
Non-AgricuIturaI Sources.

Instead of using non-edible black
strap molasses from the sugar cane
fields Of Cuba for the production of
industrial alcohol, a new and unlim-
tied supply Of ethyl alcohol, commonly
known as grain alcohol. from nom
agricultural sources, is disclosed by
correspondence, made public today, be-
tween Senator James Watson, majority
leader Of the Senate, and DR.. James M.
Doran, Commissioner Of Prohibition.
The data from official records ELECTED
by Senator Watson's letter for the in
formation of Congress reveals an adj
vance in the application of scientific
discovery to industrial accomplishment
which promises to be "little short Of
evolutionary" It apparently removes
the concern frequently expressed in re-
cent years that the supply Of industrial
alcohol might not be equal to the in
creasing demands of science and indus
try since the World War. =
At present non-edible black-strap
molasses from the sugar cane fields Of
Cuba is the principal source OF alcohol
for this countryS supply. The black
negligible quantity and the higher price
of corn and other grains make them
unavailable to any appreciable extent.
With the success of operations un-
dertaken by a West Virginia plant Of
the Union Carbide Co., under Govern
ment permit, not officially conceded,
there remains only the matter Of ex-
panding facilities for producing such
alcohol from chemicals and gases.
Commissioner Doran in his letter to
Senator Watson says. 1.-The manufac-
ture of alcohol in this manner is linz
tied only by the supply Of petroleum
and coal, as 1t is. apparent that the
manufacturing problem has been solved"
