Second Lines Attacked.

SHANGHAI, September IA (P..-
The Japanese army splashed forward
through torrential rain today in a
massed attack against Chinese Sec
ond-line positions northwest of
Shanghai
A japanese spokesman reported
that the strong Notifications at the
Chinese civic center of Kiangwan had
been occupied and the japanese
troops had pushed deep into the
delta. The muddy roads were jam
med with Japanese reinforcements
moving up to bolster the assault
against the new Chinese line.
Heavy artillery and tanks slithered
across country behind the advancing
japanese infantry in the flooded delta
lands.
New horror was added to the
tragic story of undeclared war at
Shanghai when the Chinese Central
News Agency reported 400 civilian
war refugees had been killed or
wounded by japanese bombs rained
on the f1imsy sailing boats in which
they were fleeing the city.
Three of the boats were said to
have been sunk and six damaged
The undefended decks of the open
boats were crowded with frightened
Chinese, huddled among their lug
gage and portable possessions.
After their 4-mile retirement last
night, the Chinese forces took up their
new positions extending in almost a
straight northwest line from Shang-
hais North Station for 80 miles to the
banks Of the Yangtze River above

SEED NEEDS FOR
SEASON ARE
BEING COMPILED
Farmers May Apply Now For
Loans, Mckee Is
Informed

Seed requirements for next
springs planting are being compiled
for Sheridan county by government
agencies in collaboration with the
county AGENTS office.
According TO an estimation made
Monday by J. w. Mckee, member Of
the county seed loan committee,
there are now about 5000 bushels
of seed wheat in the county, stored
by farmers and others. Considering
that approximately zoe, 900 sores
will be seeded in wheat next spring,
government agencies will be forced
to secure 100000 bushels more to
meet farmers needs, Mr.. Mckee es-
timated.
The survey conducted by the
county agents office sheds little
light on 81 seed needs, since only a
fraction OF farmers queried have re-
turned the questionable.
1t is estimated 200 600 acres will
be seeded this spring, or 20 per
cent reduction from the base acreage
which last year was about 250,000
acres under the Soil Conservation
proeram.
In a letter from Senator Murray
the first Of the week. Mr.. Mckee
was informed that farmers who have
in past years received seed loans
may again apply to the Farm Secur-
ity administration, Spokane. 4 dis
trirf supervisor will soon be SEN
into the field by the administration
to inspect applicants land. Two fee
of sub-moisture is required before al
applicant can secure a loan, bur
since most Sheridan county lands
have moisture to depts of three feet
no trouble is expected to be expert
enced in that matter.

many observers here feel that if the
State is going to authorize another
road bond issue of $25, 900, 900, it
should be used in rebuilding some of
the old roads on the State highway
system constructed 10 and Is years
ago and in undermining the State
highway system which are so nearly
worn out that it is almost impossible
to maintain them with the result that
much of the money spent in trying to
maintain these old roads is almost be-
ing wasted.
Would Wait Few Years.
Accordingly, the opinion of a ma
jority of the good roads advocates
here is that Senator Halstead has the
cart before his horse, and that the
thing to do, if new bond issue is au-
thOriZed, is to spend it on bringing
the State system up-to-date, which in
turn would make it possible to use
much larger portion of the State
maintenance funds on the county sys-
tenn. This would result in the build
ing up of a Well-round State and
county road system, especially since
the problem of the county roads is
largely one of maintenance rather
than of construction.
The prevailing opinion in most leg
islative circles SO far, however, seems
to Toe that the State is not yet far
enough away from the depression to
warrant another road bond issue for
either the State or county roads.
