WILL OFFER Holiday Birds' Price Mystery Much Depend Upon Various Condi tions; All Interests Guessing. By Hyman H. Cohen T, have been asked by dozens of coun try shippers as well as by wholesalers as to the probable price that will rule for dressed .Turkeys for the Thanksgiv ing trade. Such an answer would be a mere guess because there are so many con ditions which enter Into the making of turkey prices that -none will be in a positron to state the market accurately untfl It Is seen how these conditions ma teralize. If the country ships - only sparingly of Its birds at Thanksgiving time and other conditions are favorable, then the price of turkeys Is likely to rule around 45c a pound or even better. If the country holds off its turkey shipments until the last minute and then ships all in a bunch, the chances are that the market will rule lower. One thing is known by experience, the shipper who sends his turkeys to mar ket when the trade is crying for them and this condition is shown at the mo ment, then they will likely receive the best prices. This was last year's' ex perience, in fact it has been the ex perience for several years. While it is true that sometimes at the last minute providing there is an extreme scarcity of offerings, some shipper will secure a premium at that time but the chances are against such a course. Iabor conditions will have much to do with the price of turkeys this season. If there are many out of employment in this section just previous to the holi days. It will mean curtailed expenses and naturally a lower price for turkeys. Those desiring special' information regarding any market, ahould write the Market Kditor, Oregon Journal, inclosing itamp fur reply. Government Selling Influences Grains By Joseph F.

There has been a general disposition on the part of the Grain corporation to work with the millers in supplying the home wants of wheat without forcing premiums to such a high point that the price of flour would be affected. There is a greater offering of millstuffs by the milU of this section and values are con sidered fractionally easier. While some of the mills continue to ask 140 a ton for stuffs, others are freely offering to the trade at 888 89 a ton and business is passing at these values Trend of the hay trade continues favorable with all lines showing maintained values.

Stone, president of the Port of Astoria, a formal tender of land for a submarine and destroyer base and an aclation station on Cath lamet bay. Including; all the frontaare which was pronounced desirable by Ad mirals McKean and Parks on their re cent visit. The ofer covers 2500 acres. in addition to the Tongue Point site, for izo,uuo. McArthur, who Is a member of the house naval affairs committee, before which the location of this and other pro posed submarine basea on the Pacific coast will come early In the regular ses sion, expresses regret that the site is not offered free of cost to the govern ment. "Recommendations to be made by Sec retary rjanlele in connection with this matter will not defend upon the cost of land," said McArthur. "His recommen dation will be concerning a site that is desired unaffected by coat, hut the cost of land promises to become a vital fac tor when the committees of congress make up the bill covering new naval sites for protection of the Pacific coaat." Chairman Butler of the navy commit tee, where this bill must originate, de clares very positively that he will not stand for spending one cent of govern ment money to buy land for these new stations. "The practical situation confronting Armistice Day November A year ago star shells were breaking over No Man's Land; artillery moved, up behind the advancing infantry; airplanes were the eyes of opposing forces; ships at sea were being guarded by the steel monsters of the navy; factory, loom and farm were giving their all because war was our chief business. American pride and patriotism Swelled at the valiant deeds of Qiateau-Thierry, Soissons, St. Mihiel, the Argonne and Sedan. The stamina and courage, that irresistible spirit o America's great fighting forces, was applying itself to the consummation of those noble purposes to which the nation had dedicated itself. In those trying days, men had but one thought to do the job and do it well. All else amount ted to little. If doing the job meant death with deliberation and calmness, then, giving up life was the most glorious, noble and honorable thing man could give his country. X brief span of time has intervened between then and now. Star shells are no longer symbols of war they have become rockets for the celebration of the victory" which was ours; No Man's Land is turning its face to the sun with crops, of golden grain; artillery steel has been wrought into a thousand plowshares; airplanss have become the forerunners of greater progress; fighting ships are envoys of peace; factory, loom and farnare places wnere men -have turned the full spirit of war into the accomplishment of work well done. A new era is here an era in which living for one's rcountry should be the all-important, all possessing determination of the day. If to die for one's country in time of war is man's most noble act, then living for it in time of Eeace will justify the deeds of our valiant dead. ,et us live for our country today, tomorrow and always.
