Nationalists Claim Big Victory, Clearing Honan Area 5 if Jack 'Legs' Diamond Near Death In Mysterious Attack 1 Price For Acres And Town Will Be Near $1,000,000 UNDER CULTIVATION bub CANTA MONICA, Oct. 12. In a Sunday article I stated that the dinner party was our only cannibalism. I was wrong, as usual, for I just learned of this ease crossing the Divide from Utah to Colorado in 1872: A man named Packard evidently practiced it.

He was convicted in Del Norte, and the judge passed sentence as follows: "Packard, you have committed the world's most fiendish crime. You not only nturdered your companions, but you ate up every Democrat in Hinsdale county. You are to hang by the neck till you are dead. And may God have mercy on your Republican soul." They live off the Democrats but this was the only one we could ever convict. Yours, time fpr Arizona buyers to fill the medicine case with drug articles required in the average home for daily hygiene.

Indeed, the consensus is that this is the best drug and drug sundries buying market that Arizona has ever had. A conservative estimate places the average present retail costs of drugs at 10 per cent less than a year ago, drug sundries are 20 per cent cheaper. Cosmetics are 10 per cent cheaper. The new sales policy of grouping allied products at extremely attractive unit prices has caused a 20 to 50 per cent reduction in many items. Razors are today given away with shaving soap, dental cream is given with tooth brushes, mouth washes and dental creams have been combined at a SO per cent lower price.

Laxatives, ointments, tonics, tablets, remedies and all cabinet needs have been reduced as week-end specials to prices which average 20 to 33 1-3 per cent Ies than reg duced from the 1929 price level. This new low price range is not solely due to retail competition but actually has come about largely through competi. tion among manufacturers. Incidentally, fountain service at drug stores has been improved and better products are today served to you at attractive prices, candies have reflected a drop in price this year, tobacco and allied products are today sold in drug stores ajt prices lower than ever before in history. Even if it's only a box of aspirin or a pack of razor blades whatever it is you need or want be wise and buy it now! Meanwhile, look over the advertisements and read the remarkable offerings.

To spend intelligently is thrifty, and because drug stores are offering their merchandise at attractive prices they are doing a bigger business than ever. ft- 1 11 Seven Hurt In Traffic Accidents Three Victims Are Said To Be In Critical Condition Quiz Trio In Death Of Man Here GIRL QUESTIONED New York 'Kingpin Victim Of Assault By Trio VJEW YORK.

Persons have suffered KILL 30,000 MEN- Nanking Says 100,000 Others Surrender After Battle CHANGHAI, Oct.

12. (UP) Heavy fighting in North Central China has resulted in 30,000 killed and wounded and sweeping victories for the Nationalist government forces, dispatches from the war area said today. Capture of Loyang, strategic city in Honan province, was confirmed, and reports from various sources indicated the resistance of the Northern forces had crumbled throughout the Honan area. The Nanking or national government claimed 100,000 Northern troops had surrendered, that 60,000 had been disarmed, and that the Northern army of 250,000 men had been broken up, retreating in a Honan Campaign The capture of Loyang was hailed as ending the Honan campaign and eliminating all Northern forces south of the Yellow river. Loyang had been held by Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang, the "Christian general," as his field headquarters during the civil war which broke out in the North several months ago.

It is an important city on the Lunghai railway the east-west line of communication between the two major north and south railways. Feng, in conjunction with Gen. Yen Hsl-Shan, organized the so-called Northern coalition and sought to establish a government at Peip-ing. Military successes by Nanking troops during the summer, however, and the co-operation of Marshal Chang Hsuah-Liang, Manchu-rian leader, caused the break-up of the revolt. Coalition Broken Feng continued to hold Honan province, however, until the campaign during the past few days in which Nationalist troops drove northward from the Yangtze into Honan and eliminated the Christian general.

Chengchow was captured first and then Loyang, with considerable munitions and the surrender of thousands of Feng's defeated forces.

Purchased in 1917 by the Goodyear corporation, the tract was cleared and developed for the planting of Pima long-staple-cotton which at that time was considered essential to the manufacture of high grade automobile tires. Devoted To Alfalfa When the Goodyear company acquired extensive holdings neas Litchfield Park it abandoned ths original Goodyear ranch for cotton purposes and it has since farmed the tract to alfalfa, the only cotton produced thereon being by individual lessees of small acreages of land.

Detectives McCord Harrison and t- ri ctnnaril anft officers O. F. BY BENITO MUSSOLINI DOME, Oct. 12. We are about to complete an entire year of general, world-wide depression.

A dark day was that of October 24. 1929. which made the cycle of trade stagnation complete, for It was on that day, after vain attempts to put off Its arrival, that American industry found itself face to face with the crisis. From that day until now the momentum downward has been rq marked that both industry and finance have seemed helpless before the world-wide stubbornness of its power, despite herculean efforts to stem the trend, and despite several brave stands made by governments and Institutions in endeavoring to check the descent. That the crisis has grown worse until now is attested in the fact that we witness almost weekly tiew demonstrations of panic in the constantly decreasing values of public properties and financial institutions in all countries of the world.

A whole year seems to have been sufficient for the downward trend to spend its course, and we can expect a firm stand from now on. which though it may be a period of marking time will, nevertheless, be a curb for the downward movement and the signal for the turn upward and the rehabilitation of normal conditions of world trade. The uphill struggle will be arduous and painful, and like all uphill struggles, it will take longer than the descent. In an address which I delivered before our national council "Corpora-zioni" which is the governing body of our national producing forces, I stated it would take another three years before world trade was restored to a normal, healthy flow. This crisis is a particularly In-(Contlnued on Page Eight) Hurl Defiance At Fascists Opposition By Fists Is Promise Of German Socialists BERLIN, Oct.

12. (AP) Tens of thousands of German socialists under the leadership of Dr. Paul Loebe, social Democratic president of the reichstag. today hurled defiance at Fascism and dictatorships In a gTeat demonstration in the Lustgarten. Dr.

Loebe declared "the Social Democrats will oppose the Fascists with iron will, and if necessary with workmen's fists." He said the demonstration was intended to inspire the Social Democratic members of the reichstag with confidence for the coming parliamentary struggle, and to remind them they were supported by millions of politically disciplined workers. He sarcastically said that even Adolf Hitler, Fascist leader, had been unable to blow away with a single breath the war tributes that Germany was paying for its present economic depression. The depression, he asserted, was really an international financial crisis, and "not reduction of wages, but extension of opportunity for work, is needed for the millions of our unemployed."
