S. govern ment June crop reported surprise tomorrow, largely overcame earl ier steep upturns of wheat valus. TIia nmt.i ma tisiiatt tflA vhp,l market in Chicago about 2Vt cents a bushel, and nearly six unti mt -. l.lrnnnl Tnrrentlal rains in parts of domestic what territory where the crop is al most ready for harvest, together with increasing reports of black rust, and with big drought dam age in Canada, were largely re sponsible for the new bulge o! values. c Fading-out of wheat huying en thusiasm became apparent, how ever, in the later trading, ana in some cases the price gains were temporarily more than wiped out. Moderate rallies, nevertheless, en sued during the final dealing?. Close Above Tuesday At the ciose, Chicago wheat futures were to 1 cent aoote yesterday's finish, July Jl.O!)1- Sept. 11.09-M,, Dec corn unchanged to li lower, July Sl.16-1.17, Sept. fl.03f.-l.U4, Dec. 76i-: oats varying from i decline to XJ advance. July 40Vi-4, ana rye off, July 87. Provisions results ranged from 7 cents set back to a gain of 2 cents. An authoritative report from' Kansas said that around Topeka, black rust in wheat is developing rapidly, and that inasmuch as the earliest wheat In this area is two weeks or more from maturity, a conservative estimate of probable damage is 15 per cent. Oregon Farms Use Six Million Posts The annual rebuilding or re pairing or farm fences In Oregon and Washington requires t!ie use of more than 6 94 million posts a year, constituting an important minor use of forest products say officials of the school of forestry at O.S.C. Estimates based on a forest survey of the United States and on data obtained from loau applications and appraisals to the federal land banks, show that there are approximately 81.600. 000 rods of fencing in these T. wo states and that, under the as sumption that there is an aver age of one post to each rod ot fence, there are that same num ber of posts. A definite relation exists be tween the size of farms and the Rich Girl CHAPTER XIV Phil asked, "Where've you been keeping yourself. Rose?" ."In Riverport," Rose told him, "with time out for Syracuse." "I haven't seen you around," he insisted. "I don't get around much," she said gravely. Phil chuckled. He asked, "Look here, what's your job anyway, wip ing little noses and fanning little pants down at Number Three?" Bill grinned. He said, before Rose could answer, "Was that your experience at Number Three. ... I remember you there, Phil. No. Rose teaches at Hijrh. . . .? . "In High," corrected Phil, enor mously pleased with himself. "I remember you there, too," said Bill. There was a short silence. Phil Dexter had been ahead of BUI Lynd in High School and Rose could not remember him there during her school days. He'd left, she recalled dimly, after his second year and had gone down state to school. He said now, . "You'll be seeing a lot of the family from now on. Rose. My kid brother's coming home from Eu rope, bell enter the junior class after Thanksgiving." ' "Heaven help the Junior class!" said Sally simply. "Oh, Larry's all right," . Dexter told her, pushing his glass aside, "he's just young and full of beans . . . wait till you see him play foot ball." "111 wait," said Sally and turned to Jonathan. "Sure you .won't, change your mir.d?" she asked. "Ouite," he answered, "and thanks just the same." "Christmas then?" she urged, "or are you dated up for Christ mas, too?" i He shook his head. He said, "Look here, can't you. understand! I've- a practice ... . at least I hope I have. And I want a bigger one. Ill never get it gallivanting off ever holidays. Doctors don't take holi days." Rose looked at him and held ap her slender wrist. The hands of the watch were close to midnight. She said, "I'm sorry but" "Of course," said Jonathan quickly. He beckoned the boy who had served them. "Bring the check, please," he said. "But this is my party." Sally pro tested. "No," said Jonathan, "it isnt." "Then," said Sally, it's Phil's." "I'm afraid," Jonathan told her steadily, "you're wrong again." He rose with the check in his pos session and went over to the counter desk and paid. Sally opened a com pact and powdered her nose. She said, coolly to Dexter, "Yon arent very quick on the uptake, are you?" and shut the lid of the small golden box with a snan and rot to her feet. "Come on," sne ordered Dexter, "Jet's ro Goodnieht. everybody. Jonathan cam back to the table, "Thanks." said Sally, "for the party. And was gone, wita Bax ter following. The open door ad mitted a rush of cold snow-clean air. And Jonathan helping Rosa on with her coat said. "So that's that." "She didnt like it," remarked Bill, lounging: over to a counter to buy cigarettes, "she didnt like it at : like" wh.tr,'- :&5&!&J Quotations PRODTJCTB EXCHASOB PORTLAND, Or)., Juae (AP) Prndara exchsnce: Bntter Extras SI U. : standards 30. prime firsts 30! firt 28; bntterfat.

The ratio decreases un til on farms of 2500 acres or more there are only an average of 1:5 rods of fencing per acre. Annual requirements for re placing posts in Oregon and estimated at 7 Washington is million cubic feet of wood or 8S million board ! feet. Since 1928 the school of forestry has main tained a "post farm" where tests are being made with various treatments of j the different woods available for posts in Ore gon. Several treatments h av e been found beneficial, while charring la worse than nothing. -Poor Girl "Oh, your lordly ways with checks. Gave you the whip hand for the nonce. What it a nonce by the way?" ! "A miniature nonsense," sug gested Rose helpfully. With Sally and Dexter gone her manner had changed. She said, as they walked toward the door, "Bill, will you drive me home? Jon ... thanks for a grand evening. ..." "But, look here " "No, you go home and get some sleep. Out two nights hand-running." She surveyed him with mock disapproval. "And didn't you tell me you had an operation scheduled for tomorrow?' i "Tonsils. I could take 'era out in my sleep." t "Don't let Baxman hear you say that," warned Lynd, "hell be mad enough as it is, you cutting in on his field." I Dr. Baxman; was the Riverport nose and throat man. Jonathan shrugged. ' i "The parents came to me," he: said ... t "Couldn't afford Baxman," guessed Lynd aloud. "Look here,1 Rose, wait inside where it's warm, I left the car around the corner." "Ill come with you," she began, but he had gone. . She remarked to Jonathan after a moment, "Jon, if you'd rather go to Placid with the Suttons. . . ." i "Don't be silly I" he said abruntlv. "Of course I wouldn't. ... I can't imagine anything more deadly. I don't skate or ski or whatever it is that they do; I haven't any equip ment. . . No. I'd a lot rather not eo. even if I could take the time off . . . I m giving an imitation of a busy doctor, you see," he told her, smiling own at her, "and besides, i n look ing forward to dinner with you and your mother." J "Bill's coming, too," she said, "Mary and Tim are going to Tim's people." "And with Bill too," Jonathan amended his sentence, "of course." course?" but thought better of it. he said. Instead, "Let's go out and wait for Bill.", A few momenta later they had driven off and Jonathan waa getting into his ear. Setting it in motion he turned down Senator Street and saw the tall lights of Bill's little car ahead of him. He thought. What happened to the evening ..it He'd anticipated it pleasantly; it was always fun, being with Rose, he liked to talk over his days with her, he had wanted to repeat to her much that Sutton had said, wanted to ask her advice. j , But it had gone: first Sally and that ineffable ass Dexter, and then Bill snatching her away from under his nose. No, that wasnt fair. He'd hardly done that. Rose had snatched herself away. . . . Who had a better right? If she preferred going home with Bill . . .? He put the car up and stamped into the house, at odds with himself and the world, i A note was waiting on the telephone pad, in Evelina's crabbed handwriting. Mrs. Peters had called at ten-twelve and would the doctor ring her back as soon as he came in? , Jonathan pushed his hat back on his head, sat down at the telephone, and picked op the book. A rural number. Htrd had no occasion to call it before.) He gave it to the operator and sat there listening to the ringing. The house was quiet and had grown chilly with the bank ing of the furnace.

He waited till she had repeated his directions and then hung op and ran into the office for his bag. Opening it he looked quickly to see if sedative drugs were present, and a bottle of chloroform. He went out, slamming the door,-, to the garage and backed the car out and drove down Senator Street, There were -still lights in Rose's house, he noted automatically as he passed it. But he was not thinking of Rose. He was thinking of the Peters family who lived about five miles out of town on a farm. The Peters baby was six months old. His mother was nineteen. She'd been a patient of Doctor Ballard's. Jonathan had attended the Peters baby, a week or so past, for a head cold. He'd seemed a healthy little tyke . . . and he thought, pushing the car up to the topmost speed of which it was capable, hurrying to a frightened young mother and a baby in convulsions, Spasmophila? fnvostek's ign . . . Trousseau's sign ... if these were present then the treatment was indicated ... calcium, cod liver oil, and urging Mrs. Peters to bring the baby to his office for ultra violet treatments. . He had forgotten Sally and her yellow head dose to his shoulder and her flower-sweet perfume. He had forgotten Dexter's lowering re gard and he had forgotten Bill Lynd smiling at Rose. He had forgotten everything except that he was a physician hurrying to a sick child. In a frame house in the country. : On the outskirts of town a police man stopped him briefly and then waved him on again. He stepped on the gas and shot away. The road was bumpy, the little car bounced and jerked. It was very dark, a moonless sky, a sky without stars. Mrs. Peters had said that her hus band was away. She was alone in the house then with a baby who had altered before her terrified eyes from the rosy roundness of normal' babyhood to a jerking atom with stiffened limbs and distorted fea tures, discolored, frightening . , . . The car sputtered and took a rut with an almost human malevolence. Jonathan swore, urging it on. He supposed that in due course of time he would grow, not calloused per haps, but accustomed, but that time had not yet arrived and he could not endure the mental picture of the Peters girl alone in the house with the baby. He remembered the turn just in time, swung around it on two wheels and straightened out on the narrow country road. The second house on the left-hand side, he thought, peering ahesd. That was it, all the lights blazed and perhaps, hs thought, there was a neighbor woman who'd come in and helped in the emergency. But he remem bered that on one side of the Peter's house there were fields and that the house next door had long been empty. ; He turned in at the battered gate and stopped before the house and jumped from the car with his bag in his hand. The door stood open and he went In. (To be continued) CswrlgM ay Faita SalowUv. OlablbatsS kg Kiat reatarot tyadlcale, to Stocks Lower, Trading Light Shipbuilding Issues Rally Due to F. R.
