Fridays Came Is
Last On Schedule

Outcome of the race for leader
ship in the Benton county basket
ball league was still in doubt this
week as the two leaders, Hanford
and White Bluffs, were tripped up
by two of the tail-enders, River
view and Richland, Friday evening.
Despite the loss, Hanford retained
it's hold on first place with a stand
ing of five games won and three
lost. White Bluffs relinquished sec
ond place to the Riverview squad
momentarily, but climbed back to
tie by defeating Riverview Tuesday
evening.
Riverview trimmed Hanford hand
ily Friday evening, 81 to 10, while
White Bluffs lost by one point to
Richland. In the latter game Rich
land had gone into the lead with
a comfortable margin of seven
points at the end of the third quar-
ter. White Bluffs rallied in the last
period to tie the score at 1913, but
in the closing minute of play Rich
land converted a free throw and
held White Bluffs at bay during the
last second to win, 20-19.
In Tuesdays game, RivervieW
steadily forged into the lead during
the first quarter with a score OF
1874, but White Bluffs had almost
closed the gap by half-time, the
score standing 1912. Both teams
fought bitterly during the last hall
with White Bluffs slowly but stead
ily pulling ahead, holding a leae
of 24-19 at the final whistle.
The conference schedule ends thi
weekend with White Bluffs enter
J. tanning Benton City and Riverviey
playing at Richland. Both game
are important ones, with both Whit
Bluffs and RivervieW fighting TO
second place and chance to g
to the playoff at Prosser. If boil
teams win, they will go into a I'll
with Hanford, necessitating a three
: way playof before the champion
ship games, but if either team lose
it will be out of the running witt
the other tied with Hanford TO
first place.
!. The local game will start at 7:3
in the White Bluffs high Schoe
gym, the girls teams playing pre-
liminary game before the boy
teams take the floor.

Wade And Smith
Serve On Board

A. G. Wade and G.. H. Smith were
elected directors of the Cooperative
Canning Exchange at meeting OF
the stockholders Friday. The men
will fill the positions formerly oc-
cupied by j.. w. Fenley and A. H.
Meyer. Other business transacted
included the financial report of the
past season.
D. E. Sergeant, field representa-
tive of the state department of pub
lie welfare for eastern washington,
was present at the meeting, and
discussed the prospects of financial
assistance this year. A meeting was
recently held in Olympia, he said,
to discuss the marketing aspects of
| the self help cannery movement,
and it is possible that a co-opera-
tive marketing organization for
these canneries will be set up this
year. In this case, the individual
cannery, such as the local one,
would have less trouble in finding
markets for their canned goods, as
they would be handled through the
central organization.
Present prospects indicate that
the local cannery will be able to
| get loan from the welfare depart
ment for their operations this year,
Recently, the cannery received 5000
cans from the department., to be
paid for on the basis of one filled
can for each ten empty cans re-
ceived.
E. r. Griner, managing director
of the cannery, told the stockhold-
ers and the many growers inter
ested in the program who were pres
ent that with the first years oper-
alton behind them, the cannery hac
every chance of being successful
but that it would require the con-
\ tinued cooperation of workers an6
5 growers. Last year the cannery op.
$ Grated under many difficulties which
, are now eliminated, he stated. On,
! of the problems facing the concern
this season is acquiring fruits ant
). vegetables for processing. If tn
s growers will do their part and fur
). nish the cannery with quality pro
y duce, the concern can be of grea
/: service to the valley, as the grow
: ers will receive the same price her
S as from outside canneries and a
the same time large payroll vii
be built up locally.

D. {. SHIP HOME
AFTER CRASH

The steamer District of Colum-
bia arrived in Washington on
schedule today after it collided
with a 164-foot lumber freighter,
the D. S. Ford, at Old Point Com
fort, Va, last night.
Piloted by Capt. Frederick
Posey, the steamer, carrying about
100 passengers, was drifting into
port at $50 last night when the
freighter carrying crew of eight
and it's owner, Miss Mary E.
Mitchell, of Baltimore, Md, crossed
her bow and was struck amidship.
It's gasoline engines out Of COM
mission, the freighter was towed
several miles to Hampton, Va,
where it was beached to prevent
sinking. The Norfolk and Wash
ington Steamship Company boat
took on several more passengers
and continued to Washington
where it arrived early today.
The freighter, commanded by
Capt. William N. Jarrett, was haul
ing lumber from Newbern, N. c.,
to Baltimore when the collision
occurred.
Officials of the steamship COM
pany said the passenger boat was
not damaged.

} into the basement by the side
door. Others came into the living
room, if they were important.
Then they'd go down by the base
ment stairs from the inside.
I saw some pretty important
people there. At least Dayton told
me they were important. They
didn't mean a thing to me. They
were just some more candidates
for the Black Legion.
OF course / knew nothing of
what went on in the basement of
my home. Only what Dayton told
me afterward.
One night in February he told
me they had a police officer to
initiate. Dayton said they had a
moose and threw it over a furnace
pipe. He said the cop was so
scared he tainted away cold.
Afraid He Would Die
Dayton said they were all
scared to death for fear he had
died of heart failure. He weighed
$50 pounds at least. Dayton said.
When they finally got him on
his feet, Dayton said he ran out of
the house and even forgot his
coat, and that he never came back.
Later, Dayton said, they dropped
a warning in the officers ear to
keep his mouth shut"
AS I have said before, the only
record of membership were the
cards for insurance prospects"
which were made out when the
men and women joined.
Here is the way it worked.
When Black Legion member
had somebody whose name he
wanted to bring before the organi-
zation he would fill out the card
with information about whether
the prospect had a car and
whether he was a Protestant.

DETROIT, June 8 0N.S).
During the winter and spring of
1884 my home at 1880 1rvington
Ave. was really headuarters for
the Black Legion in our district.
Dayton was a big shot" in the
organization then. Almost every
night, week after week, there was
a mems initiation in our basement.
I ordered the chairs from an I'M
dertaking parlor and got from "a
to so, depending on how big Day
ton said the initiation was going
to be. The undertaken thought it
was just a lodge meeting. He
didn't know why I kept wanting
chairs.
The meetings usually started
about 8 o'clock in the evening. I
had to hurry to get my supper
dishes done every night.
Had to Leave House
I got sick of 1t, for Dayton
wouldn't let me stay in the house
while the ceremony was going on.
If I couldn't get the children to
bed and to sleep, then I'd have to
take them with me. Fortunately
they didn't stay terribly late and
/ could get back into the house
before midnight.
Then sometimes Dayton would
go out night riding after that.

D. +. TO SHARE
IS MILLIONS
IN BONUS

Erroneous impressions Of the
amount of money to be distributed
in Washington in the form Of
"baby bonds" on June IS have
been current here for the past
two weeks, Government officials
revealed today.
Statements that about $685..
5000 will be made available to
local veterans on that date are
completely wrong, it was said,
since the actual sum represented
in the bonds is approximately $16,-
27S,000.
Figures Too High
The mistake was probably
caused, according to the official
explanation, by persons who mis-
interpreted the total money rep
resented in adjusted service certif-
icates issued to Washington ex-
service men as the amount to be
distributed on June Is.
While the value Of certificates
held by local veterans is nearly
$1,000 900, almost one-half of the
veterans have borrowed against
their bonus. The amount Dor
rowed are, of course, deducted
from the final payment.
Forget Interest Owed
Another factor decreasing the
June Is fund is interest owed by
holders on their loans, it was said.
After deduction of all charges
against the bonuses held locally,
the explanation continued, the
remainder owing the District ex-
service men in the form of baby
bonds" is a little over $16,000,00O.
The same situation applies to
the national picture, since about
$2,237, 100000 will be paid out on
June is in connection with GER
tificates whose matured value
would have been about $780,
100000 if there had been no liens
against them.

BONUS QUERIES
INCOMPLETE
BY THE BONUS EDITOR

by IHE BONOS ED1A On
Many letters being received by
the Bonus Editor, from persons
DESTROYS of obtaining informa-
ton on the "baby bonds" and
other bonus matters, are unan-
swerable because they lack a spe-
cific question.
For instance, one veteran wrote
his full World War record. and
then signed the letter without in
dicating in any way the data he
wished to receive.
Since most of these cases are
apparently examples, of inadver-
tent forgetfulness, the Bonus Edi.
tor today prints three of these
unanSwerable queries in the hope
that their authors will recognize
them and write again.
Question-My war papers were
destroyed by fire in December,
1925. A friend told me he could
get them for me. He did get me
my discharge but never got my
other papers. thank you for
any 1n1ormaClon you can give
me. D. r. B.
Answer-This "Questiop" asks
no question. What information
do you desire? About your ''other
papers?" If so, what papers?
Question: never put in for any
application and I was in the
Spruce Division, Vancouver, Wash.
Enlisted at Missoula, Montana,
C.. L. A.
Answer-Application for what?
An adjusted service certificate
the original "bonus" papers? Or
Baby Bonds?" If not, what is
it you want to know?
Question: served with the
First Division in France. drew
half my bonus in 1881. Never paid
any interest. j. ]. H.
Answer-Again, what is you de-
sire to know, on the basis of the
information given by you?
