Berries Scarce With Tail End Of Season Near GRAIN MARKETS ADYANCEINWEEK Unfavorable P r o s p e cts for Spring Wheat in America is Cause. After1 several years of effort the business men of Marsh field have succeeded in climimiling the daily newspaper dup lication in that city. The Marsh field Daily News is ceasing; evening publication and the Coos i!ay Times continues alone in the daily field. Merchants there have long sought the greater economy, improved service of one newspaper. They held meetings, presented arguments, concentrated their ad vertising in the Times. They have finally been successful. The two-paper town of ten thousand is a thing of the past. Both advertisers and readers prefer one good paper to two poor ones. Marshfield people are gratified that their city now comes into this class. KEQUIREMKNTS FOR CITIZENSHIP The case of a certain Professor Macintosh, of the Yale Divinity School, has caused lengthy comment in the Oregon press. This gentleman was refused citizenship, following a supremo court decision, because he qualified his applica tion by saying ho Would not serve this country as a soldier in an unjust war. That, is, no doubt, a small thing to form .the basis for re fusal of citizenship, especially since many thousands hold ing the same opinion are born to citizenship in this country and go unmolested about their business. It wouldn't hurt this country to have a few more citizens who think seriously enough' about their citizenship to discriminate between just and unjust wars, but the supreme court can, nevertheless, bo legally and logically justified for its decision under the constitution. Commenting on this (and in opposition to the court deci sion) the linker Domocrat-llerald says: "It is a mistake to assume that every war a nation engages in stands on an equal plane morally. A patriotic Englishman could oppose King George in 1775-83 or oppose the lioer war, just as an American could oppose the Mexican war or oppose the mar ine campaign in Nicaraugua, yet no patriotic citizen of either could have hung back in the Great war when the existence of his country was at stake. Certain things, have to be left to the individual conscience. They always have been in every democratic country. Our people are citizens, not sub jects. They are not the puppets of their officials." The whole trouble with this point of view is that the linker paper seems inclined to classify unimportant wars as 'unjust" and serious wars as "just," reluctant to realize that diciplino and submission to delegated authority is as necessary for citizens of a democratic country as for "sub jects" and "puppets" in any absolute monarchy. No nation can survive that permits its individual citizens to determine what is just and unjust in a national crisis and to give support or opposition accordingly. As everyone knows there wore many citizens of this country who sincerely opposed our participation in Ihe world war. They thought it unjust. Anyone who participated to the extent of military or naval service had numerous experi ences that convinced them that the conduct of war is unjust. Hut it would have been folly to allow that conviction in either case to dictate individual action. There was something at slake that was far more important than the opinion of justice held by one individual or a group of individuals. 1'ilinil and senseless as it may sound to the idealist, Stephen Decanter's "My country, in her intercourse with foreign nations may she ever be right; but right or wrong, my country!! holds the secret of national integrity, of national and world progress. The highest typo of citizenship calls for constant, effort and study that our country may "ever be right" but in the face of and wrong as well as right the preservation of the constitution and the nation is forever paramount. The individual failing to subscribe to that standard may not be injuiious in citizenship but he cannot be classified as a true patriot and American. TRY W. K. GILBERT CO.

WASHINGTON, July 9 Grain markets ad van ceil sharply during the week ending July 6, influenced by continued unfavorable prospects for spring grains in the United States and Canada and uncertainty of seeding conditions In the south- ern nt'iitispnere accoruing to tne weekly Grain Market Iteview of the United States Bureau- of Agricul tural Economies. Domestic wheat price advanced 10c to 12c during the week but were still around 10c per bushel below a year ago, when harvesting prospects in general! were considered moro favorable than at present. Corn and other feed grains also advanced during! the week hut aro still materially: lower than a year ago,-although j present conditions point to a small- er outturn than last season. Klaxi turned sharply upward reaching' the highest point on the crop to date, reflecting tho advancing mar ket in Argentina and the uncertain- I ty concerning crop prospects In i North America. I Iteports of continued unfavorable conditions for spring wheat in North America 'were tho principal strengthening factor in the -wheat marked. While scattered rains were received in some areas of the American Northwest and Canada, they were generally insufficient to provide the molaluro needed and the crop, particularly in Canada, is i heading short and has suffered no ticeably from the drought. Private estimates now place the Canadian crop around loo.ooo.ooa bushels-or more below last season's harvest. The condition of the United States spring wheal crop appears more favorablo than for the Cana dian crop, although lack of moist ure has caused material damage. Stem rust has appeared In some ; areas, according to specialists ofj the Hureau of plant industry. This Is about a wee kearllcr than iawt year but at least a week later than I in 1927 when the crop was late. A trace of stem rust is present on hard rtl spring wheal in South Dakota and southern Minnesota where the crop is in tin- heading to milk stages and in North Da kota ami northwestern Minnesota where wheat is In the bent to flow er stages. iiust development in South Dakota anil the Ited Klver valley has been cheeked by droug:h, Loaf rust, which is en tirely different from stem rust, Is generally prevalent in South Da kola and Minnesota. The winter wheal crop hay ripened or is rip ening, with practically no Injury from stem rust. European crops aro making favorable progresses although tho season is somewhat late. Heneficiat rains have im proved crop conditions in Germany and tho United Kingdom. Trade estimates place the Spanish wheat crop at around 14S ooo.ooo bushels compared with 1 3H,oou,Orto bushels harvested last season, l-'avorable prospects ,ln France have been maintained and a crop about 70, 000,000 bushels larger than wan harvested in 1928 is In prospect. Threshing returns are generally good In Italy, although no definite- estimates of the crop are yet avail ahln. While crop outturns ar still subject to change with pro gress of the season, it appeared from such data as are available at present that the decreases recently reported In the lower- Danubian countries may be offset by larger harvests in other- sections and that the final European outturn may not differ greatly from that of last season. 40-Inch Crepe d'Chine 22 Popular Colors $1.60 yd.
