PAGE EIGHT The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, June 8, 1937 Corn Crashes; Grains Follow Arrivals From Argentine Demoralize Market; Beans Down Too CHICAGO. June l-i&y-Com tumbled down today the extreme permissible immediate limit. 4 cents, and caused all grains to fall, wheat and corn breaking sea son low price records. Rashes to sell corn futures re salted largely- from big arrivals of Argentine corn, together with relative cheapness of competitive feeds and with reports of fav orable progress of the new domes tic corn crop. Soy beans as well as corn smashed downward 4 cents, the full limit allowed. A .striking development was that the U. S. visible supply of corn showed 888.000 bushels in crease for tbe past week, mainly owing to Increased imports of Ar gentine corn. Leading trade au thorities said the big infnx of corn from Argentina demonstrated that beyond certain price limits. Argentine corn will act as an ef fectual market ceiling. Other Grains Off At the close, corn futures in Chicago were,l-4 cents under Saturday's finish. July $1.15 . Sept. $1.02-1.03. Dec' 754- wheat -lVi off. oats down. July 38. and rye showing l-2 setback. May 86. Provi sions results were unchanged to 15 cents lower. -. ' Wheat temporarily scored 1 H cents a bushel advance owing in the main to reports bf black rust In Kansas. Oklahoma and Nebras ka. A leading crop expert wired from Wichita. Kas., that in central Oklahoma and east central Kan sas he found every field infected. ' and that the attack is spreading fast from south to north over a wide front. Most of the infection is upon the stalk sheath, but in the more advanced cases the pus tules are beginning to break through the head straw. Corn market demoralization, however, eclipsed every other fac tor for the time being. September wheat led the downturn of wheat prices, dropping to $1.05 as aeainst .$1.07's at Saturday's close, but rallying to $1.06 at the last. Rich Girl SYNOPSIS Young Dr. Jonathan Kimber pre ferred to succeed on his own merits rather than take over the well established practice of his late father. So he goes to the little town of Riverport to take the place of old Dr. Alan Ballard, retired and now living in California. Evelina, his predecessor's meticulous old housekeeper, has everything ready for Jonathan, and Rose Ward, Dr. Ballard's pretty niece, to whom tbe young physician was greatly at tracted when they met a few month's previous, invites him to dinner the first night. Bill Lynd, a friend of Rose, drops In.. Jonathan wonders if there is an understand ing between them and the thought is most distasteful for he had grown exceptionally fond of the young lady himself. After Jonathan had been in Riverport a while. Bill suggests it might help his career if he joined the different bridge and yacht clubs and cultivated such Eeople as Sally Sutton, daughter of enator Sutton who controls the town. But Jonathan says he does not think of his profession in terms of money but service. Bill's state ment that he would seek his fortune elsewhere if it weren't for certain things, sets Jonathan to thinking of Rose. ... Was she the reason Bill wouldn't leave? And as to his own feelings for the girl. . . . No, it wasn't possible that he, Jonathan, was in love with her I One night, while motoring with Sally Sutton, Phil Dexter, her fiance, hits a lamp post. Jonathan treats Sally for a head cut and takes her home. He is very aloof and Sally senses he does not like her. Nevertheless, she in sists that he accompany her into the house. Jonathan meets the Senator who seems deeply interested in his background. "Riverport needs new blood. Perhaps I can help you," Sutton says. Later, when Jonathan relates the incident to Rose, adding that he does not want the Senator's aid. Rose tells him he would be silly not to accept it, but she thought, furiously, "Sally can help htm, I can't." , - CHAPTER XII Jonathan reached for a flat iron and a butternut. . . . "Here, pass over the popcorn, will you," - he asked, "and don't get excited. Rose. Sutton will forget, he won't raise finger. Sally raised it. She raised more than a finger. She was in his office next day, rapping her foot im patiently, tossing aside his maga zines and looking without friendli ness on the three elderly and one youthful Datienta who vera ahead of her- Why she'd come she didnt know. . . . She might better be some where else. . . . But the town was so deadly and this was a new man, an attractive man, rude, unimpressed by her, by anything. He said, coming out to her, at the ena ox an nour, "I'm sorry. Miss Sutton. . " "You might have seen e first . . .1" "I didnt know von were here" he replied untruthfully. Evelina hav ing admitted her and informed him of her arrival in disapproving tones, and the four patients who preceded having done the same ... with eager interest. "And if yon had known . . . T" "I'm afraid." he answered cour teously, "you would have waited just the same, unless you'd 'phoned for an appointment.' "I was afraid to 'phone," she said. "Thought you wouldn't want to see me. After ail, my cut is only an excuse." He beckoned her to stand up near the window, looked at her forehead and nodded. . "Quite," he agreed, "leave it alone. It's all right She said, "You wouldn't let me pay . , . last night . .'.'this la an office call." Jonathan said, very shortly, "111 send : you a bill, the first of the month." - . . Her fair face flashed Into anima tion, the black eyei were wicked. Quotations - PSODT7CB EXCHAWOB PORTLAND, Ore., June 7.

But Sally stopped him, her hand on his arm again in the casual ly caressing way which was second nature to her. She said, "But I came to ask you to dinner. Tomor row night. Seven-thirty. Informal. Just us." I - I should hope so, thought Jona than, whose evening clothes had seen better days. He hadn't thought he'd need new ones in Riverport. "But" I "No, don't. I know you haven't office hours at night. You can leave word where you are. Please come." Her eyes danced. . . . She said, "Even if you don't like me we have a very good cook." When she had left it the room seemed darker. He thought, looking into the living room to find it empty of patients, well, so that's that. The cook may have a sore throat one day. Why not go ... T It would be more than churlish to refuse. ... And yet he found himself a little hesitant telling Rose about it that evening. i Bill Lynd was there. He said cheerfully, his large hand in the popcorn bowl, "You'd be crazy not to go, Kim here's yonr chance." Dinner at the Suttons was on the stately side, j Cocktails and appetiz ers and innumerable courses and ex cellent wine and a very good brandy to follow. Mrs. Sutton vas as fair as Sally, but she had anticipated nature and was one jump ahead of grey hair. She was a plump woman with a manner curiously divided be tween the confiding and the aloof. Before the meal was over, Jonathan found himself prescribing for her migraine. He didn't for a minute be lieve she had true migraine how ever. . j Sutton laughed jovially. "Don't tell her what to do, Kimber," he advised, "she's trying to get some thing for nothing." "Bridge?"i Sutton asked hopeful ly, after the women had left the dininir room and the two men vnr alone. ) "I'm afraid not. I havent had time to learn." He added hastily, Convinced that it oraa host n .ruolr the whole discouraging truth, "and V . 1 , . .. i uun t piay gou. "Well "laid Rnffm asailv "mnlt learn.

Doe toring's a business, like any other, isn't it?" - : "Not quite, said Jonathan. "Well, you know what I mean. . . . Shall we go into the drawing room ... T" It had taken a number of yeara to teach him that; parlour came a lot more easily to a River port boy. i . Later Sally turned on the radio and when the music of a New York hotel dance orchestra reached them she held out her arms invitingly. "Come on. Doctor Kimber bother . . . that's too much trouble. What do they call you. . . Wait a minute. Kirn ... I like that. . . . Come on, Kim." ! "I don't dance," he said, alarmed. Lord, the man'st a , i Come along, IH teach you, it wont auri you. . . .

Can ners will finish this pack in an other ten days. Marshall strawberry harvest, which Just got under way as the hot weather hit, has been slowed up materially, and while rain may improve this situation, the loss has been considerable as result of the weather situation to now. by Faith Baldwin near, "Good night. . . . Be seein' you, soon. ... I think perhaps, after all, I'm going to have an amusing winter in Riverport." Jonathan said, without thinking, "But you're going to Palm Beach." She asked softly, "Wherever did you hear that? If I was, I'ver c hanged my mind. Palm Beach is an old story. ... I think I'm going to like It here. ..." She laughed a little, her mouth very close to his. Jonathan stared at it, fascinated. He didn't like her, he didnt believe that he'd ever, like her but Automatically he bent closer closer. ... "Not so fast," said Sally, amused, and betook herself a foot away. "And, good night. Doctor," she said formally, "it's been nice, having you with us." - . . With the great door closed be tween them he imagined that be could still hear her laughter. He climbed into his car and stamped angrily on the starter. He'd keep away from the girl if he knew what was good for him, the practiced little But standing before his mirror later, wrenching at his collar he said to himself angrily, she ex pected me to kiss her ... well- why didn't IT In the morning, awakening to the pleasant odors of coffee per colating and bacon frying, Jonathan made the discovery that daylight had faded the subtly exciting col ours and design of the previous night into more or less ordinary shades and pattern. He told himself severely, glaring at his lathered face in an unflattering mirror that, of course, he had dined with the gentleman who appeared to be Riverport's Public Benefactor Num ber One, and that while this sterl ing character:: daughter was, in dubitably provocative, on-coming and effervescent there still re mained no cogent reason why he, a sober young physician just begin ning to practice in a new town, should find himself either flattered or disturbed. Certainly a profes sional man rapidly approaching the sere and yellow season of his thir tieth year could look upon a tiptilted nose and challenging eyes and a warm, demanding mouth without becoming either notional or dizzy. ; He did not put it to himself in so many words. He merely said, aloud and austerely, "Granting a whole lot of things, is there any reason to go into a spin over 'em 7" -.- Having replied in a forceful and qualified negative, he proceeded to remove the lather and presently went whistling downstairs to a breakfast which was, as usual, per fection, and which Evelina, also as usual, deplored. Evelina, thought Jonathan, attacking orange juice and eggs, should have been born in an Oriental country in which her genius for understatement and de preciation could have found full scope. "I hear," commented Evelina lingering, "that they've got a new butler up to Sutton's." This was his cue to discuss the evening's entertainment with her. He responded cheerfully. He said, tFh n.olfI batler. at any rate. He didn't look new to me, he looked aid." "They come and go," offered Eve lina mVSterionslv. and suMatI anma. thing about "goings on." But the real. crux of the matter was dis closed when, on her way to the kitch en, she inquired casually if he had enjoyed his dinner. "Good dinner." Jonathan told her, nailing, "but not as good as any of yours." ' Evelina snorted and remarked that she wasnt taken in by soft soap and that she was aware that there was more ways than one of killing a-at. With which cryptic remark she retired to the range over which she raised a clear high unemotional -voice in a lusty rendition of one or tne more lugubrious hymns. (To be continued) .

June 7-fln-Stock market leaders merely drifted to day and the majority finished lower by fractions to a point or more. A few oils and specialties gave the trend an argument, but these were none too vociferous and the favored handful was only modest ly Improved at the close. The day's news was rather col orless marketwise. although a sharp break In cotton, grain and rubber futures, helped to put the brakes on the stock list. Brokers thought price changes, on the whole, were meaningless in view of tbe lightness of the turn over. The ticker tape, lagging from the start, was frequently motion less and transfers finally totaled 584, 780 shares. The Associated Press average of 60 issues was off .4 of a point at 67.4. The steel strike deadlock con tinued as a chilling Influence for tha division, although there was no more extensive selling in these than in coppers, rubbers, farm implements and ' miscellaneous groups. While gold worries were still present in Wall street, London helped to ease tension by boost ing the price of the yellow metal approximately 10 cents an ounce, as offerings from hoarders dried up appreciably. The smaller mar gin of profit in shipments to the U. S. under the current rate, It was thought, will tend to dimin ish the buying which has been forced on Washington. - Berry Harvest Started In Fields About Zena ZENA. June 7. Berries are now ready for market in this sec tion. J. S. Worthington harvested his crop of gooseberries last week and W. Frank Crawford started picking his field Monday. The berries in both the Worthington and Crawford fields are small and there are practically no leaves on the bushes, which is an unusual circumstance and Is laid to the hard winter.

J Prunes Reported Bought Over Code Heat Wave may Put Crimp in Berry Production if it Continues ' While some local canneries ap parently are still feeling their way on the prune price set by the control board this week, report was received here yesterday that an outside buyer had entered Washington county end was tak ing up small prunes at $30 for all sizes under 16s. and in addition! , agreed to pick up the prunes. Several local packers Indicated yesterday that they had not yet entered the market for prunes on the control figures of $32.50 for sizes of 16 or over, and $27.50 for smaller, but that they might do eo at any time. The Oregon Packing company plant is the only Salem plant not now definitely planning Immedi ate operation, though machinery at this big cannery is being work ed into readiness for the'go' signal from headquarters. As yet, o definite instructions for early m ason work have been received by the local manager. Heat Hits Strawberries Strawberries and gooseberries are already being received at sev eral local plants, and by early next week all plants that expect to han dle these fruits will fall into oper ation. Severe heat of this week, if continued, may put a serious crimp in the strawberry produc tion, already variously estimated at from 20 to 60 per cent under last year. On the prune deal, packers, when they rceover fully from the first blow of a control price nearly double last year's average, may realize that the board's figure will keep them from outbidding each other and hitting a higher market than conditions really warrant as happened with the berry crops this year. At least that Is tbe way one packer here has expressed his re action. Turnips Doi. bunches. 80 90e. Tomatoes Oregon hothouse. SO-23e per pound; Mexico, $3 50-5.00.
