Interest Brings Unusual Decision to
Hold Xo Vacations in Either
Day or Xight Schools.
Activities about the Portland Young
Men's Christian Association promise to
keep up better this Summer than ever
before. In every department there is
unusual activity for this season. In
dicating; that the association building
is to be a busy- place during the hot
weather months.
In the physical department the
activity is especially notable. Last
year only the business men's gymna
sium classes were maintained during
the Summer, but this year practically
all of tho sTmnasluui classes will re
main in session. As a matter of fact
these classes have been making; gains
during the past few weeks, duo to the
special Summer membership privileges.
The business men's "gym" clauses
were never more prosperous than at
presenL Volley ball has been taken up
and the enthusiasm over the game has
developed into e craze. Every noon
and evening it is played in the big
gymnasium and attracts interest of
spectators as well as players. A canoe
trip from Salem to Portland on May
29 and a relay race between the same
cities on June 7 are helping to keep
up interest in the physical department.
The educational department also will
have an unusual Summer. All of the
classes for which there is demand will
remain In session without any inter
mission. This means that practically
all branches of both the day anTnight
schools will have no vacation this year,
although, of course, there will be some
falling off in attendance.
The religious werk department also
is having1 a busy season. The lecture
course of Dr. John H. Boyd will end
next Saturday, but other religious work
clubs and classes will meet regularly
during the Summer. No thought has
been given as yet to a discontinuance
of the Sunday meetings, although there
may be a brief period when they will
not be held.
"More than half as many men already
have taken advantage of our special
Summer memberships this year as did
during all of last Summer." said W. B.
Piatt, membership secretary. "It prom,
ises to be a record season."
Cherry Tree Grafting Successful.

OIIICAGO, May 20. Abundance of mois

10c decline to a gain of a shaae.
Selling of wheat was of an Influential
kind and developed considerable volume on
all the swells. The best support was early
in the day. A material reduction tn the
world's available supply total furnished
soma temporary additional helps to the bull
"statements that in the Canadian North
west wheat was nearly three weeks back
ward In growth and was suffering from dry
ness and cold failed to attract much no
tice, the fine conditions on this side of the
international boundary proving- decidedly
more impressive. , , .
Primary receipts of wheat today were
476,000 bushels; a year ago 860,000 bushels.
Export clearances ot wheat and flour
equaled 33S.O0O bushels.
Notwithstanding heavier offerings from
the countrv, the corn market was upheld
by Iowa reports of delayed planting and
probable slowness of shipments. Actual re
ceipts here were scanty.
Oats weakened In view of the more gen
eral rams. .
In provisions, longs realised on a moder
ate advance. The result waa an easy feel
