SUPPLY OF CANNED
GOODS HELD AMPLE
Consumers Counsel, However,
Expects Price Rise Due to
Reduced Total Supplies.

By the Associated Press.
Although drought sharply reduced
vegetable crops this year, a Federal
survey today viewed supplies of can
ned goods for this season as ample.
The consumers counsel Of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
reported each consumers supply Of
canned vegetables would be about S
per cent below consumption last sea-
son, but still larger than in any other
recent year and 81 per cent above
average per capita consumption in
the five years of 1925-1929.

with larger packs of tomatoes, tomato
juice, lima beans and asparagus.
A helpful factor, it was said, will
be the large carry-over of canned
goods from the big crop and pack Of
last season.
Prices Of canned goods are expected
to rise, the survey said, because Of

END FIRST HALF
IN LEAGUE CELLAR

Goldendale, highly touted new
Corners to the valley league, showed
their power here Sunday, defeating
Hanford- White Bluffs to 1, in the
last game of the first half, to keep
their hold on first place and to
leave the locals in tie with Pros
ser for the cellar position.
Despite the size of the score, the
game was an exciting one and the
locals displayed plenty of class most
of the time. Goldendale took adj
vantage of several infeld errors in
the first inning to score five runs
but from then on to the seventh
it was a tight pitchers battle, both
Hartman and Richardson hurting
effectively. In the seventh, however,
another error and several hits gave
Go1dendale two runs and they
scored another two in the ninth.
The locals saved themselves from
shutout in the ninth when SyHord
advanced from first to home on
successive wild throws.
In the only other reported game
of the valley league Sunday, the
Red and Whites of Yakima cincEed
their deadlock with Goldendale for
first place by nosing out Prosser,
z to 5.

THIS SECTION FAR AHEAD


In comparison with many countries, America
is backward in making electricity available to Its
farmers. In the United States only about one farm
in nine has electricity provided by centralstatlon
service. In many other countries electricity is
much more generally available in rural districts.
Holland can claim an almost complete electrlt1-
cation Of it's farms The rural districts served
from publicly owned plants, some in provincial,
Others in municipal ownership. Germany reports
a 80 per cent farm identification and Of it's total
number Of farms IL acres, 80 per cent are
equipped with electric motors. SWeden's agricul-
tmal area is 50 per cent electrified.
Although the rural population of most Of these
countries is more congested than that of the Unit
ed States, making electrification easier and cheap
er, the standard of living generally in our country
is higher than those abroad and the American
average would be expected to be much higher.
This section Of the country in fact, is far ahead
of the national average, not only in the number Of
farms served by electricity, but in the rates paid
for the service and in the amount OF electricity
consumed annually.
While the national average Of farms served by
electricity is only 1913 per cent, the average IN the
state Of Washington is AK per cent-over four
times as great as the national average. Since the
figures for this valley 80 per cent 1t can
be seen that here in this section are leading
the nation in the adoption Of rural electrifcation
Not only is the state average far ahead OF the
national average but it is far ahead of the average
for nearby states In Oregon, 27.5 per cent Of the
farms are electrified, and in Idaho, 298 per cent
are electrified. California is ahead of Washing
ton with an average Of $50 per cent, while only
"a few Of the eastern and New England states are
the 40 per cent mark.
This is the only phase Of rural eectrificatlon IN
which the state of Washington takes second place.
Residential Identification in the state Of Wash
ington is also more highly developed than in the
other states of the union. Both in the rates paid
for residential electrical service and in the an
nual residential consumption Of electricity, Wash
ingto is in the lead.
The average residence in this state, for instance,
consumes 11O4 xowatt hours of electricity In
second and third place Idaho and Oregon, and
these three states the only ones In the nation
in which the annual residential consumption is
over 1000 kilowatt hours California, the other Pa
cifc Coast state while ahead Of the national av-
erage is far behind the Northwest states with an
annual residential consumption of 675 kiloWatt
hours.
Cheap lighting rates are also enjoyed in this
state according to the chart Of rates for resden-
tial electric service in the nation. Tabulated hg-
ures for few Of the states shows the rates, ex-
pressed in cents per kilowatt hour, to be as fol-
lows:

u. 5. VETERANS
ADVISED TO
KEEP BONDS
BY THE BONUS EDITOR

Is the amount to be received by
q World War veteran in baby
bonds" equal to the amount his
adjuStedService certificate would
be worth upon It's maturity in
1945?
The answer TO this question,
which is common among those
asked by veterans writing TO the
Bonus Editor Of The washington
Times, is yes"
Get Full Pay at Once
The principal purpose Of the re-
cent bonus legislation was to pro
vide veterans with the fun amount
of their compensation ut oncs. Tia
means by which this purpose was
to be achieved was . comparatively
minor matter.
Having received his "haby
bonds" the veteran Is privileged
to retain them as an investment
or convert them into ready cash.
Cashing the bonds can be &C
complished only BY the veteran
himself, at places to be desig-
mated by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. The bonds are non
asSignable, and hence can not be
sold BY the recipient to . private
party-he must either cash them
himself or hold them 8 an in
veStment.
Wise TO Keep Beads
Many veterans ask the adviS-
ability of the latter course. 1t
Is wise to keep the bonds. II pos
sible--they drew 3 per cent I'm
tereSt and are Is giltedged as
any other United States Treasury
security.
The interest is compound.
which means that as it is due it
is added to the total val1e Of
the bonds and begins to collect
interest itself.
President Roosevelt himself has
issued q warning to veterans about
caShing their bonds and fritteTing
the money away. II 1t Is at al
possible to retain the bonds, the
veteran viii find himself with o
valuable investment bringing him
Q fair income.

For whom?
As If in answer to the unasked

a trif1e flushed and breathless.

Fine" was Deeds brief comment.
Why the elaborate explanation? And
why did Joan appear so Ill at ease?
II such a thing were possible, he could
very easily have imagined there was
some sort of an appeal in her eyes.
As he expected, somehow, 1t was young
CASTOR who took over.

eyes were fixed on his face, but he re-
fused stubbornly to meet them.

until he knew she had turned to go.
