AMERICAN CHURCH
BOMBED IN CHINA
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 W) Vice
Consul Gordon L. Burke at Foochow,
China, has reported to the state de
partment that the church and other
property of the American board mis
sion there had been damaged when
eight Nanking government planes
dropped between 20 and 30 bombs on
the city at 1 p. m., December 24.
No Americans or other foreigners
were Injured, but 16 Chinese were
killed.
SILVER PURCHASE
ANOTHER LIJSK IN
RECOVERY SCHEME

cording to opinion expressed by the
speaker. There are at the present
time only about 65,000 people, but
one and one half per cent of the
population of seven states where sil
ver Is produced, that are affected by
the silver purchase action. What the
government has announced it will
absorb of the newly mined metal is
not great and further, with the high
er price set may be entirely offset by
a decrease in the present use of sil
ver in the arts and Industries, said
Mr. Smith.
Prom the standpoint of inflation.
the eighteen millions of dollars of
sliver wmcn It is stated the govern
ment will absorb, Is a small figure
indeed as against the five and one
half billions of dollars of currency in
circulation today, the Rotartans were
told.
What the effect will be upon for
eign trade no one can yet tell, said
the speaker. Though several countries
are commonly said to be on a silver
standard, because of conditions, limi
tations and other' things placed upon
currency in moot of those countries.
China Is truly the only country where
currency is baaed solely upon silver.
1 look upon our government s ac
tion with sliver as simply another
step, along with our N. R. A., our
home loan plan, our farm relief as
sociation and other acts toward the
restoration of publlo confidence," said
Mr. Smith. "As an Individual item
there is probably no cause In this sil
ver purchase announcement to be
anywhere - near as enthusiastic as
some seem to be. As a part of the
great plan of our president In work
ing toward a new peace, happiness,
satisfaction and contentment of our
people and the reeatabllshment of
their confidence In the greatest form
of government Ood has ever permit
ted to exist. It is another very pro
gressive movement."
Harry McKlnlay of Falks. was
chairman of today's meeting, arrang
ed for Mr. Smith's very excellent and
Interesting talk and Introduced him

cipal problems.
The purpose of the recommended
ordinance Is to place the regulations
of the Knox law Into effect Imme
diately under a city ordinance." said
Herman Kehrll, executive secretary
of the League of Oregon Cities In
submitting It to La Grande and other
cities. "It Is proposed that the city
commission shall act as agent for the
commission during the Interim. If
this ordinance Is adopted; dealers and
merchants may Immediately begin
operating under regulations Identical
with those of the Knox law. and
would thus be spared the necessity of
qualifying under some temporary city
ordinance at variance with the Knox
law.".
Incidentally, the signing of the
Knox law by Oovornor Julius U
Meier automatically repealed all city
ordinances and city charter provisions
In Oregon dealing with liquor control.
so that actually, La Grande and other
cities have no effective laws or or
dinances at present regarding sate of
liquor.
If the city commission tonight re
acts favorably to the suggested or
dinance, the next step would be to
refer It to the city attorney, E. R.
Rlngo. for study and possible revi
sion to fit local conditions.

PORTLAND, Dec. 27 UP) Inability
of the local plants to secure trans
portatlon for their regular supplies of

The shortage of fresh butter was
proving a boon to speculators who
