Riverside Makes Plans to
Entertain Large
Crowds.

Riverside amusement park is re-
ported all set TO entertain an
other host of fun seekers this week
end. according TO announcement of
A. W. Golfer, manager of the re-
sort, who states that in spite Of
curtailments made in many lines
in the business world, there has
been no limit set in the fun or thrill
market.
All the park devices, from the
humble but popular merry-go-round
10 the sensational structure Of steel
and timber known as the Flash, are
entertaining big crowds this season
and the many new features are at
tracing lots Of patronage.
Everybody out at Riverside is
laughing at John Law" the beau
tiful but dumb traffic policeman
who has been assigned to beat in
the Dodgem, where traffic jams pre-
dominate as patrons drive minia-
ture autos around the floor.
The big thrill here formerly was
to crash into other autos, but now
all the drivers concentrate in
smacking their bumpers into the big
dummy policeman and sending him
skidding down the floor with arms
wildly waving in apparent protest
at such unlawful actions.
One of the most interesting side
trips at Riverside is a journey
down Kewpie Alley, that long COW
cred concourse running almost the
entire length of the west side of
the park, where scores Of fascinat-
ing games of skill are located and
where a wide variety of beautiful
prizes are awarded successful play
ers. The section gets its name from
the fact that kewpie dolls still pro-
vide the greatest incentive to play
the games, hundreds of them being
carried away nightly by winners.

| New York, Aug 12-(UP)-Ed-
 itor and Publisher. periodical of Journalism, will charge in Satur- day issue, that the forthcoming In- lternational Radio-Telegraph con- ference at Madrid plans to under
 take limitation of the freedom of the press
 Denouncing one of the proposals to come before the conference
 that which would censor interna- tional press messages bearing on diplomatic or economic subjects the publication declared that no member of the American delega- tion was suited to protect the in- terests of a free press. It urged President Hoover to appoint two additional members to the delega- tion. es1 What certain diplomats of Flu rope and the Far East passionately
 want to effect is control of news papers in countries other than their own." Editor and Publisher |said. "They want to make public opinion in the United States, foH in- stance, favorable to what they con- |ceive to be their national interests.
 Our policy of free press is not pop
 ular among them. It interferes with manipulatoins close to their hearts, and, considering the present
 worldwide economic involvement of the. United States, to be attained by every conceivable maneuver known to the international confer ence board"
 The periodical also condemned the proposal to increase press rates for radio and telegraph as an effort further to limit press operations and embarrass the flow of informa- tion."
 Meanwhile, users of cable service in New York city. led by. banking and brokerage houses, appealed to President Hoover to give them rep resentation on the American dele gation. Walter Lichtenstein.: Chi- |cago banker, is a member of the delegation, but the New York financial community. sending 60

 What is the explanation? Fish rains, Dr Gudger found, are caused by waterspouts.

INDIAN SYMBOL
ON MOUNTAIN
TO BE STUDIED
Supt. Strandwold Intrigued
by 150-Foot Circle Near
Spring on Ratlesnake Hill;
Professor Investigates

Search for the oripin and mean
ing of the large circle atop q hill
near Benton CITY in the Rattle
snake range will be started this
week by Olaf Strandwold, Benton
county superintendent Of schools,
he said today.
The circle, which can be seen for
many miles, has long attracted
the interest Of lower valley resi-
dents. but none has gone into the
history of it. Strandwold and H. c.
Fish. history professor in Ellens-
burg normal school, last week
scaled the steep hill and studied
the circle.
From distance, Strandwold
said the circle looks as If It was
made of stone. but on investiga-
ton he learned that the vegeta-
ton has been cut away and the
soil is so dry that new vegetation
has not grown. Not far from the
circle are springs causing the in
vestigators to believe the symbol
is an Indian water sign.
The circle has has a diameter Of
80 feet and the band is six and
seven feet wide, Strandwold ex-
planned. Fish has done consider
able research work among Indians,
the Benton county school superin-
tendent said, and is interested in
learning more of the symbol on
the hill.
Strandwold plans to interview
some of the pioneer residents of
the Benton City district to get in
formation about the CIRCLE Herald

THE OLDSOC
ISN'T WHAT 1T
USED TO Be!
Costs Owners Seven Percent
to Use Tin Can for Bank;
Says Banker who Urges
School Warrant Purchase

Local residents who have a lit
tie spare money, or those who have
postal savings accounts, are pass
ing up safe and profitable source
of revenue, according to <. C..
Tweet, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank. He thinks perhaps
it's because the matter has never
been brought to their attention.
"Instead Of telling us about how
much money these fruit men
promise to pay the grower why
don't you tell 'em how to make
seven percent surely, safely and
still not tie up their money for
long periods" he said. We were
discussing the financial situation
in the local school district, and he
referred to the school warrants.
The bank is now carrying all
the warrants that we can legally
HANDLE" he said. aWe have been
compelled to close down on ac-
cepting any more at the present
time, not because the security or
the interest rates are not first
class, but because we must retain
our liquidity." And how bankers
do love that word.
His. argument sounded logical.
If there is any institution upon
which residents of this county can
depend, it is upon the schools. The
warrants issued to the teachers
are not cashable at the present
time and they need and are EMIT
led to their pay. Those who have
small sums of idle money could
greatly relieve their situation by
buying the warrants as they are
offered at the bank, receive good
interest rates and still feel that
their money is in safe place as
any. Calls are from seven to nine
months if . settlement is
made sooner with the railroad tax
case now in the courts, this time
viii be still further reduced. Pos
sib1y under the splendid financial
condition of the local district, it
viii be enabled to get back ON
cash basis again.
At any rate, If you have post

sock ,trot it out and make it earn

The fair this year was satisfac-
tory in every way, according to q
report made this noon by Sec. e.
C. Durdle. The association paid
up lot of debts hanging over
from last year, did quite lot Of
Improvement on the grounds and
paid up the Indebtedness on the
land. All current expenses have
been cleared up and the premium
list has been the only place for q
shortage. Checks are in the mail
today, he said, for 80 percent Of
the prize money. In other words
exhibitors are being compelled to
stand their share of the cuts due
to the depression or something.
