SOLDIERS GET
BONUS MONEY
Nearly All Ask Cash for
Bonds; $25, 1000 to Come to
Community

About hundred local veterans
have received their bonus bonds al
ready, according to information re-
ceived from Postmaster F. II. Lin
coin this evening. Twenty-Five or
thirty are yet to be received.
More than half the bonds have
already been sent in for redemp-
ton, Mr.. Lincoln states, and from
the conversation of many Of the
others they will not be very long In
getting the cash for the diminu-
tive government bonds.
If the average amount received
by the local veterans is equal to the
nationwide average, the cash bonus
money to be received by the local
veterans will amount to about $25,-
600, Mr.. Lincoln estimates. II but
half the bonds are cashed, then
there will be an. equal amount left
in the form of savings.
The bonds, each In the sum Of $50
face value, bear three percent in
terest and will be worth $3.50 at
maturity.

in Benton County

Through cooperation Of county,
state and federal forces, six persons
are being paid blind pensions in
Benton County. The county, through
its one-fifth mill levy, raises a fund
from which pensions Of $4,000 per
quarter per pension are paid. Per-
sons receiving county blind pen
sions are interviewed by the local
office Of the State Department of
Public Welfare. Reports are made
to the Olympia office on each case
and II the pensioner is deemed elig-
ible according to the requirements
of the federal social security law,
the county receives . refund of S45
each quarter from federal funds for
each pension paid
Eligibility for q blind pension
rests upon need, degree Of blindness
and rsidence. The state is prepar-
ed to pay blind pensions also to
those who cannot qualify under the
residence requirements Of the coun-
ty pension, but who are eligible
otherwise.
The local office of the State De-
partment Of Public Welfare is To-
Gated at Prosser and is under the

MAY SHOW CUB
BEAR ATPARK
Wild Bob Cat, Porcupine, and
Birds Features of Fourth
Celebration

It may be difficult to get earn
ival to play here during Fourth Of
July week, but plenty Of other
things are popping up every day
for consideration of the committee,
which has the big three-day celebra-
ton in charge.
For instance, three ring cir
Gus wants to come. The carnival
arranged for, by the way, has Sc
cured another date elsewhere and
will not be among the local at
fractions.
The circus was turned down, but
proposition was made today to
add free attraction to the list for
the day. The state game department
has quite an extensive display of
interesting things, including a
couple of bear cubs, a bobcat caught
locally, porcupine, couple of
fawn and several other live animals.
The game department has six or
eight varieties of birds which could
be secured. Golden, Mongolian
pheasants, mutant and several 9TH
er kinds of game birds are raised on
the state farms and could be put
on display here during the cele-
bration.
Charles Bennett, local game pro-
tector, is now on the coast where he
will see about getting permission
from the department to bring the
assortment here. If the booth and
pens are not too expensive, it is
possible that this display will be a
part of the features.

Canadian Premier Resigns

Ottawa, Canada few days ago
in London, the veteran Labor lead
er, j. H. Thomas, resigned as Sec
rotary of State for the Colonies be-
cause he stood accused of releasing
budget information in advance OF
publication. The same strict code is
reflected in the resignation of Louis
A. Taschereau as Premier Of Que
bee. Unable to account for the al
legged misapplication of SIS, 1000, his
brother Antoine, Accountant for the
Legislature, refunded the amount
and resigned. His more prominent
brother promptly threw up his six
teen years Premiership.

SPUD CROP rs
MOVING GOOD
Yield and Price Best in Years
/ Locally-Wheat Crop Also
Favorable

Any time a farmer can pile a
hundred dollars worth of spuds on
10 truck, that crop represents import
ant money. Today many such loads
came into Kennewick and the far
mers are again feeling good over
the deal. While there has been a
marked drop from the $50 price
quoted last week, the size OF the
spuds has increased to such an ex-
tent that the actual returns are
about equal to the former price.
Deals are being reported of fifty
to sixty dollars to the growers.
sacks provided, washing, sorting
and hauling included. At this fig
ure the farmers are getting the
kind Of returns which this district
was originally famous for.
With reports coming in from 9TH
er sections Of the state Of SUBJ
normal wheat crop, The local wheat
farmers are feeling pretty good
over their crops. Except for the
winter wheat which was blown out,
the general report from the Horse
Heaven hills is that the crop will be
the best since 1928 in both the win
ter wheat and the spring plant
ing.
The weather of the past month
has been ideal for wheat here and
the farmers are looking to see a
big increase in the filling Of the
heads within the next week. Plen-
ty of moisture in the ground at the
present time gives indication that
this will be the result. Harvest in
this area will be from ten days to
two weeks later than ordinary,
growers state. -
A fine sheaf Of spring bart is
on display in the printing office
window, having been brought in
this morning by r. e. Larkin.

IT WAS ONLY SMOKE

Along about 1890 this evening
lot of local citizens witnessed a
peculiar phenomena in the sky
What had the appearance Of a mar
row searchlight beam extended in q
perfect arc from the southeast tc
the northwest luminous streak
about the width of a rainbow.
Hurried research revealed moth
ing extraordinary due in this vi
cinity, the streak was in the wrong
direction and too well defined to be
another millky-way-and we were
all up stump" to explain.
Just now, the night patrolman
came In. He had been called out
into the country to apprehend an
alleged potato thief. He said he
noticed the white streak which
seemed to touch the ground nearby
A hurried trip over the brow Of the
Highlands told the story. It was
smoke from q locomotive which
had 1juSt passed by.

DON INTENDS
TO DISAVOW
XONCHECK
Thompsons to Try to Avoid
UnfavOrable Discussion of
Washington Nut on Trip to
Old Home

Washington is getting adverse
publicity from the antics of Zion
check, and when Kennewick citi-
zens go on trips to other sections OF
the country, they are plagued with
comments on the Seattle congress
sional clown with whose election
they had nothing to do, according
to reports being brought back from
all travellers.
One citizen who has recently re-
turned from trip to the middle
west stated 81 heard everywhere SO
much about Zioncheck and folks
tormented me until I'm heartily
ashamed of our state sending such
q man to represent U.S." He showed
a clipping from the Omaha World
Herald which said: "Zioncheck
represents a type Of exuberant vul-
garity which often misrepresents
the American character and attitude
toward life. His actions bespeak
adherance to the speakeasy creed
which holds that it is smart to tip
pie immoderately, that it is smart
to bulldoze humble and modest peo-
pie, that it is smart to make pub
lie display of ones crassness, that
it is smart to bedevil walters and
servants, that it is smart to scott
at the decencies of life, that it Is
smart to break speed laws, that il
is smart to make a joke of mar
rage"
To guard against as much of this
sort of thing as possible, Don
Thompson, who leaves soon on
trip back to see the home folks In
Iowa, plans to have a sign printed
to attach to his car. The sign will
say that while he's from Washing
ton, he had no part in the election
of Zioncheck.

Locals Lose to COnnell

The inter-county grange baseball
game Sunday between Connell and
a team from this county was re-
organized at the last minute and
the Benton county representative
was composed of pickup team,
primarily from the Highlands. The
game wound up with this team
holding the short end Of 12-4
score.
Withal it was colorful, exciting
and fast game. The first two in
nings were outstanding in that
neither side was permitted to score.
Connell broke in the beginning Of
the third, and walk with bases
full automatically gave Highlands
the first score. They chalked up two
more that inning. Connell pulled a
double sneak which brought their
first man home, and they also
marked up three scores that frame.
The game was still tight, and no
runs were made in the fourth. High
lands got one in the fifth and Con-
nell retaliated with two more. Pit
cher Gragg was up in the sixth
with two outs against his side
Dodging close ball, his bat caught
the ball fairly on the end, the
sphere rebounding to the pitcher
for the third out.
Faye Under, girl right fielder for
Connell, was real bat and catch
artist, what with plenty of pulchri-
tude, and she added much to the
glamor of the occasion. Faye was
walked in the sixth and made their
first score in that inning. Another
double sneak added another score,
and that inning ended with the
scorekeepeer's sheet showing z to
4 in favor of the Franklin county
batsmen.
Highlands failed to score in the
seventh. Connell ran in four that
trip. The last score was made when
the girl poled out a safe hit and
made first, allowing the man on
third to get home. Connelrs last
score was gained in the eighth. In
both the eighth and ninth innings
the girl showed her ability by catch
ing difficult flies which came into
her fielding territory. Faye Under
is hereby nominated as our person
nal candidate for the Hollywood
girls baseball team.
The Connell batting lineup was:
Moon, Under, Mordy, Wallace, Web
Der, Stone, Harris, Faye Under and
Cochrane. The Highlands line-up:
Craig, F. Gragg, Sonderman,
Curtiss, T. Mayer, Liebel, Stafford,
r. Gragg and Reymore. Highlands
substitutions were: Shields Tor
