Heavy Chinese concentrations were reported along the 100-mile railway from Tientsin to Shanhaikwan. Japanese were concentrating at Suichttng and Chinchow, and it was believed here that the Japanese would attempt. !to drive the Chinese to the Tienj tsin side of the Lan river. , Outside the great wall, the Japj anese accepted the challenge of (ten. Feng Chan tHai's “big swords" I who harrassed the Nipponese troops last week and claimed to have checked their advance into Jehol province. Manehoukuo troops protected the Japanese rear, while .

SAMUEL INSULL MAY REMAIN IN GREECE LUNGER Greek Authorities Suggest Insull Re Allowed Five More Months UNITED STATES CANCELS PASSPORT AI hens, Jan. 16. — (U.R> — The Greek ministry of home affairs sug- ■ gested to the foreign ministry to- ■ day that Samuel Insull he allowed t to remain in Greece five more , months, despite cancellation of his I American passport. The secretary of the home office ■ (old the United Press the sugges- ■ tion was made because the appeals > court found Insull not a criminal, ■ and because Insull creates no danger to public safety and is not engaged in trade depriving Greeks of employment. The possibility existed, however, that Insull might be expelled and possibly put aboard a ship for New II York. This depended on whether the foreign offffice agreed to tfte. home offffice suggestion. ; A representative of the United State consul, in the presence of two witnesses, handed Insull a letter notifying him that his passport had been cancelled. The United p States legation then notified the 5 foreign office. ’ Insull seemed worried when the United Press correspondent talked * to him. hut maintained that he in- ' tended to remain in Greece permanently. “My wife is not coming to Athens in a week or two, as reported, [but surely in a month or two," Inr[sull said. He denied lie intended to seek [ British repariation or protection.! Confiscation of Insult's passport [ seemed improbable, because if his stav Is extended five months he will be granted a special permit and ’ the passport will not be produced for visas. As Insull is not regarded as a criminal, he cannot be searched, nor his papers confiscated under ordinary circumstances. ’ Now that Insull's passport is invalidated, he cannot leave Greece r unless he is expelled. Athens, Jan. 16.— (U.R) —Samuel Insull may be expelled from Greece and embarked on a liner for New 1 York, it was revealed today. Insull's immediate future depend--1 ed upon action of his application for a month renewal of his passport visa, which expired January 7.

The bill was revamped to anneasc Democratic leaders who felt its provisions were too stringent and would not eliminate bootlegging Tile original hill, however. had full support of Governor Paul V. McNutt. Among changes provided in ’ha revamped draft was one reducin'detiers license from the original price of SSOO a year to S3OO. Bre—ers license would cost $5,000 I’"> original provision.

It is exceedingly important today to raise hogs under the most effi- [ cient farm practices but marketing hogs with the most desirable weights and finish uud selling them when the markets will generally return the most dollars per ■ 100 pounds, is of equal importance I to hog growers of this county. Tliar i relationship of Indiana to other heavy hog growing states and to ’ the Itest hog markets is very im- ) portant information for every far- . nter who raises hogs. Far too many ■ hogs are marketed in Adams county which are md as good in type, > quality and finish as the market ' requires for top prices. The relation of seasonal market receipts II to prices will lie explained. The . i discussions of marketing hogs will • he led by W. B. Stout, specialist ' in marketing at Purdue.
