FELT YESTERDAY Unexpected Decline in Liv erpool Quotations Appa rent Cause of Drop CHICAGO, Nov. 22. Wheat underwent a decided setback In price today, owing largely to an unexpected decline in Liverpool quotations as well as New York stock market weakness and dis quieting reports about British un employment conditions. The close was unsettled. 1 to 1 7-8 cent net lower, with May 1.16 5-8 to 1.16 3-4 and July 1.08 a 1.0S 1-8. Corn lost 7-8 to 1 1-8 and oats 3-8 to 1-2 cent. In provis ions, the outcome varied from five cents decline to a rise of 2 1-2 cents. Weakness developed at the outset in wheat because Liver pool advances showed that the market there was antagonistic to an advancing tendency which values displayed yesterday on this side of the Atlantic. Bear ish reports about the domestic winter crop outlook counted fur ther as a weight on the market. Nevertheless, rallies gained con siderable impetus in the middle of the session as a result of pr dictions which were circulated that comprehensive plans soon would be announced for United States government assistance in disposing of surplus food pro ducts abroad. Heavy selling in the last half hour, though, carried the wheat j p'aTket rapidly downward again i pnd the close was at almost the 1 bottom figures of the day. It was during the final dealings that New York stock market I weakness had most effect here la:; a depressing factor and that ! uneasiness roeardinc labor trou- bles in England led to Increased selling. Corn and oats followed the load of wheat. Reports from r.itinti.. cn ir crout oil that western demand for coru had become less urgent. j Provisions were inclined to ag j in line with hog values. PIT ONE OVER Undoubtedly, in the early days ; of Western Texas, land was some- Cmes more of a liability man an asset. Jim Luke was the possessor of two such sections: cactus had no convertible value and the rattle snake market was bearish. He had a trade in process with a fel-inu-.n'ivD one section for a yearling. Coming ant of the office of the notary, his face was wreathed in i a satisfied smile, j "Make yer trade all right, j Jim?" asked a friend. "Make the swap? Well I reck on I did! Say, you know that dern fool can't read or write." His voice dropped to a confiden tial whisper "I just put both sections in the deed and he didn't know the difference."-Judge. WHEAT SETBACK CAMPAIGN IS . U. CAMPAIGN ! IKING GOOD IS INDORSED Willamette Forward Move ment Gaining on $1,250 OCO Objective ! When a committee of the Wil- i jlamette Forward movement, the j $1,250,000 endowment campaign.: .called cn one of the men who had been backing the university as a' ... e. . ,. . . . , iiJUbhc assrt, he told them he had- i in i aeciaea just, wnai ne wouia ao; 1 ihe would talk it over with his son. j The son was born in Oregon, , and he knows Oregon like a book; j oae of the best chapters being ! what he knows of Willamette uni versity. Here's about what the Insurance Policy Given "Well, dad, I've been so sure that it's a great and good cause, that several years ago I took out an insurance policy for $5,000, payable to the university! and I've been keeping up the premiums as my gift to the school. They're go ing to have $5,000 in cash in a very few years-and it will not have cost me very much either. Say, dad, it's a great investment, and 1 wouldn't do without it for a farm. Now you could do let's see, it would cost you about " Precisely what it would cost dad, doesn't matter; that's his business. But dad is mighty proud of his son, who has seen a vision of his dollars living down through all the ages, in the form of a strong, clari school whe-e the boys and girls of other generations shall get their real insphation towards a better, more unselfish citizen ship. Campaign Cioing Well The campaign is progressins satisfactorily, though the personal work among the possible patrons oi the fund Is still mostly to be dooe within-the next four weeks. One Interesting little incident occurred in a southern Oregon town. Two of the university rep resentatives had held a public meeting, and one old couple had sent up their names, asking U be called upon at their home. They were found to be living on a poor little place, where their crop had failed, and where sickness had made sad inroads on the family finances. But the mother was a college graduate and her husband had a vision of 'what their child ren and grandchildren should have had in the way of school. Small Gift Count "We haven't very much they said, but we've simply got to do something. "We'll sign up for $50, nd we'll pay it next year, sure!" The agents at first refused to take their pledge, but the old peo ple insisted on it, and it stands to do its part.

Without Dis sent, Boosts Willamette Forward Movement The Salem Rotary club yester day went ou record unanimously indorsing the forward movement campaign of Willamette univer sity as being an important move-i mem for Salem that every mem ber of "the club and also every business man in Salem should get behind. The motion was madf by C. P. Bishop and was passed ; without disient. Patterson Main Shaker J. L. Patterson was the speaker of the day. He was scheduled to talk on cooperative marketing, but chose as his sub?ct the rela tion between the farmers and Salem business men. He pleaded for closer cooperation betwetn city people and the farmers, de claring that no Salem resident should desire to buy as cheaply as possible from the fanner, but on the other hand shouW want to see every tarnier market his pro duct at a living price, that it would be money in Salem's pock ets to help make the farmers I rosperous by providing a better market for their produce; that if they wanted to buy things cheap, do it on articles that are shipped in. and not on thoss produced here. He declared that some produce raised by the farmers near Salem is sold by them for less than is paid by th" " same buyers for similar merchandise shipped in from a distance. FnJ t Situation Cited He referred to the fruit 'situa tion in Salem and deplored the fact that only 2T per cent of the pears canir?d in Salem are grown in the Salem territory. He also made the statement that the value of the fruits and vegetables packed in Salem is greater than all of the output of tha salmon packing Industry of Oregon, yet the Oregon legisla ture had during the past four years appropriated a quarter of a million of dollars to help the salmon industry, and nothing to help the fru't growers and pack ers. lealer to Have Inning A feeling was expressed by some dealers present that Mr. Patterson's comparisons were un fair to thtm. and Chairman Paul B. Wallace of the program com mittee announced that the dealr ers would be given a day In th4 near future to come back at Mr. Patterson and present their Bide of the case.
