IN JAP PATH
81 Americans Have Sum-
mer Homes in Line of
Jap Advance

SHANGHAI, July 81. tUP)-
Japanese columns rolled up the
Yangtse valley toward Hankow
today in the wake of fleeing
Chinese army, heading toward the
"reSort town" of kuling where
many foreigners, including 81
Americans have summer homes.
The invading army, gathering
momentum at every mile, occuDi-
ed the strategic city of kiuklang,
on the Yangtse 1875 miles below
Hankow. after brief, fierce bat
tie in which several buildings fly
inc the American and British flags
repeatedly were looted and dam
aged.
The American colony at Kuling
sent message to the American
embassy here, saying they were
establishing safety zone" Tor
foreigners as the Chinese and
Japanese armies approached the
town.
Chinese military headquarters
admitted occupation Of kiukiaEg,
and said Chinese were rctreatlng
toward Nanchang.
Foreign military observers be
leved capture of Kiukiang had
sealed the fate of Hankow' and
that the next decisive battle
would be fought south of the
Yangtse near Nanchang, with the
japanese making sweeping arc
toward the Hankow-Canton rail-
road.
Kuling. which lies on "A bluff at
the upper end of Poyane Lake, is
directly in the path of this adj
vance. and while it was believed
the armies would not stage bat
tie at Kuling, it was feared Chi
ncse might elect to take advan-
tage of its heights to stand off
the Japanese.
British and American embassy
officials here were considering
asking Chinese authorities to pro-
vide facilities for evacuating the
foreign colony at Kuling.

FINAL ARGUMENT IN
HARLAN CASE BEGUN

LONDON, Ky, July p. tUPl
Federal Judge H. Church Ford
yesterday overruled motions for
directed verdicts for all defend
ants in the Harlan labor conspir-
acy trial as group and as indi-
viduals. and ordered final argu-
ments to start today.
The judge overruled the mo-
tons during an informal session
in the absence of the jury, but he
made one concession to defense
attorneys he had indicated pre-
viously would not be granted -
unlimited time for pleading be-
fore the jury.
Because of the length of the
trial, now in its 18th week, the
Judge had asked attorneys to hold
argument to minimum, and Sug-
gested six hours for each side as
a reasonable time.

Local Cannery
to Begin Seasons
Pack Next Week

The Kennewick Cannery will be
ready to start operations on Sat-
urday of next week, Mrs. Caroline
Kitten announced today. 1t is
hoped that by that time the offer
ings will be sufficiently large to
justify full time operation.
1--WE could start Immediately,
Mrs. Kitten said, "but it would be
on a part time basis and we'd ra-
ther wait until enough grass is in
sight to give the workers better
chance to get in full time. Part
time operation is not profitable
from the cannery standpoint and it
is not satisfactory for the workers.
Outlook for satisfactory run is
fairly good. We have had no diff
ficulty in disposing of all the as
paragus the local plant can process"
Green grass markets dropped
sharply after the first day or so Of
ferings, and most of the product is
now going to the processing plants,
although some quantity is still being
supplied to Northwest markets in
the l2-pound boxes. Prices are
around IS cents, and at this figure
the cannery prices are almost equal.
Prices for the cannery stock run
from five to five and a half cents,
with free collections.

State Leader Meets
Local Club Heads

Henry Walker, state All leader,
was guest speaker at the Benton
County All Council at its annual
spring meeting in Kennewick Tues
day, April 10, at the county agents
office. E.- 1.-+.-s -.
Leaders report active interest on
the part of All members this spring.
Many clubs, having already COM
pleted the required project work, are
now stepping out to win new laurels
for themselves.
Benton county is planning to send
a larger club delegation to club
camp than usual. Outstanding III
work and. active community inter-
est and sponsorship are probably the
chief reasons for the increase. A
larger number of leaders are also
planning to make the trip this year,
for leaders profit as much, or more,
than the club members themselves,
says, Miss Helen Steiner, assistant
county agent.
Other matters of interest taken up
and acted upon by the group were:
the State Booster Button Sale, May
81; Club Camp requirements for
1888; scholarships offered; spring
All pep rally, to be held early In
June before State Club Camp; and
new constitution and bylaws for
State All organization.

43 Oldsters Lose
State Assistance

Forty-three residents of Benton
county, who have been receiving
state old age assistance, will be
dropped from the rolls the first of
May. This is because of the fact
that too many were put on the rolls
at first, anticipating a larger state
revenue.
The decrease in anticipated funds
for this purpose makes it necessary
for the state to drop four thousand
names from the lists at this time
and make other cuts in expendi-
lures from the fund.
Those who will be dropped from
rolls will come within one Of three
classes: those who have insurance
which may be converted, those who
own property other than the home
and those who have relations who
might contribute to their support.
Federal matching funds have been
been supplied for the blind, old age
assistance and dependent children,
and after the above listed cuts have
been made, there is prospect that
the amounts granted to those who
still remain on the rolls may be cut
somewhat. Since the application of
the present law there is no longer
the county-operated mothers pen
sions, this function having been alb
sorbed by the federal matching
plan.

The Cost Of Recovery

Washington, d. C.-Treasury fig
ures just released paint an astound-
Ing picture Of the depression follow
ing the Hoover administration. In
five years, the Roosevelt reconstruc-
ton program has spent $29 ,356, $685.
600, or three billion dollars more
than Is other Presidents spent in
l27 years, including the huge out
lay for the World War. The 1888
budget of s7.7s1, 100000 is eleven
times what Lincoln demanded to
bring the four years of the Civil
War to successful conclusion. 1t is
estimated by experts that the ma
tional debt by the end of this year
Will be $4,000, 100000 or Is billions
more than when the President took
Office In 1880. This represents a
debt OF $500 each for every man, wo-
man and child in the country. In
1883 this individual debt stood at
sl7s.
