Russia After More Wheat Prices Trend Downward aa Domestic Growth Condition Good CHICAGO, Feb. 24-VSway-ed by official reports of general ly satisfactory growth conditions for the domestic winter crop, wheat prices tended ' downward today, bat declines were only fractional. A sustaining influence was an authoritative estimate that less than 30,000,000 bushels of Uni ted States hard winter wheat now remained available for ex port. It was predicted all this wheat would be taken by im porting countries because of smallness of the world supply of hard 'milling wheat at present. On the other hand. North Am erican wheat export business to day totaled but 300,000 to 400, 000 bushels. Including United States hard winter wheat as well as wheat from Canada. Vladivos tok however, was reported as again after wheat both from Aus tralia and the United States Paci fic coast. At the close, Chicago wheat futures were unchanged to lower compared with yesterday's finish. May 93-, July 89- corn - down. May 59 !, July 61.

"WOMEN in LOVE By MAY CHRISTIE CHAPTER XXVII, The offices of the International In surance Company were miles away from her department-store upon the Avenue, but Ann intended sticking by the investigator so that the two of them might face the Claims Ad juster together . . . tell the same story that would lift the stigma from her sister. - There was no time left that day to return to the store. Ann's interview in the Adjust ment of Claims department of the insurance company took longer than expected ... not that time mat tered when it came to the clearing of her sister's reputation ... de voted to her family as Ann was, she would have spent days and weeks, if necessary, in defense of the in sanely reckless Claire. " Terrible as the incident had been, throwing a highlight on Claire's character and obvious lack of scru pies, Ann realized that out of evil, a three-fold good would doubtless spring. Claire's eyes had been abruptly vtcugu w vatui xnuiai a leusciicsa, to the knowledge that their friend ship had been built upon the quick sands ol a mutual liking for gam' bung, and that lacking Ann's . championing Carol would have Seen Claire ro under without exert ing herself to avert the disaster. Claire could never again regard Laroi as a true friend. Secondly, there was the exposure - of Captain de Freyn. His trip with Carol to Atlantic City must, to Claire's eyes, put the final seal upon him of underhandedness, of com plete lack of principle. Thirdly and most important, to Ann s mind Claire s main awaken ing lay in her narrow escape from justice. By-the barest mare-in had she avoided a trip to the district attorney. It would rive her food for reflecting ... srwervc hn karlr intn the right path.

The old-fashioned saws were right. You reap as you sowed. She'd been caught in the whirlwind. But once the strain was over In the Claims Department, and Ann her mission finished, had emerged into the clear, cold sunshine of the late March afternoon, her thoughts reverted happily to Paul Bradley, to his magic kisses in the taxicab that . had swung them round the park in the moonlight of the wee, small hours of Sunday morning less than two days aeo. that was.

She had turned her pretty face to him. as a sunflower towards the sun, and he had kissed her as though nothing in tne world could ever separate them.

R. Hobart, county supervisor, Sa lem. "As ' only 137,166.00 has been made - available for tenant purchase loans in Oregon for the fiscal year ending July 1, Secretary Wallace has named Linn county for initiation of the program this year on the basis of the State Farm Security Ad visory committee's recommenda tion, said Hobart.

Farmers In this county will not be eligi ble to apply for farm purchase loans unless Marion or Polk is officially designated for the pro gram during the next two fis cal years. "If funds authorized by the act for the next two years are appropriated by Congress, allot ments for Oregon are expected to provide for two additional coun ties being added next year and probably five additional counties in tha third year of operation." Who May Get Funds Funds are available for stan dard rehabilitation loans to any farmers in the county unable to secure adequate production cre dit, and live on a farm that will permit repayment on the basis of a practical farm plan.

Beet Growers to Follow Building Program of AAA WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-(rp)-The agricultural adjustment ad ministration announced tolay a soil-building program which su gar beet growers must follow this year to become eligible for benefit payments authorized by the new sugar control law. For every acre planted for harvest this year, one acre must be devoted to soil-building prac tices. The growers may qualify un der the program by devoting at least 25 percent of the diverted land to one, or a combination of these practices: 1. Maintain land to legumes, or grasses, or a mixture of both. 2. Seed new land to legumes, or grasses. 3. Plow under land having a good stand of a green manure crop.
