IIEN Senator Harding addressed his colleagues in the
senate at the opening of the short session yesterday
noon, he dwelt only a moment on cooperation, pr-

lis a matter of difference between president and senate. v
Well should Mr. Harding know what it means to find oppo
sition in the senate, for he aligned himself during the past two
vpars with the rintr which ODDOsed without Quarter the efforts

That "common irround in the spirit of service" was one of
the very requests which ,Mr. Harding, the senator, tailed to see.
Let us hope that Mr. Harding, as president, may, for the good
of the nation, get that for which he asks.

THE STORY OF WHEAT
IN the last nine market days, the price of wheat on the
Chicago market, for December delivery has risen fromj
$1.53 to $1.79 1-8, a clear gain of 26 1-8 cents, or an aver
age gain of almost three cents a bushel per day. Wheat for
March delivery has risen in the same time from $1.48 1-2 to
$1.75 1-2, a clear gain of 27 cents or exactly three cents a bushel
per day. Monday's gain over Saturday's closing figure was 8
1-8 cents for December and 8 1-2 cents for March delivery.
The lowest mark in the Chicago pit was reached the day
following Thanksgiving. Friday, November 26. December fu
tres were closed at $1.53 and March at $1.48 1-2. With one ex
ception.when a close at one-fourth of a cent lower was recorded,
every market day since has brought a substantial advance in the
closing price of wheat. The figures, day by day, are as follows :
Nov. 26 Dec. $1.53; March, $1.48 1-2.
Nov. 27 Dec, $1.55 5-8 ; March, $1.58 3-8.
Nov. 29 Dec, $1.56 5-8 ; March, $1.52 3-4.
Nov. 30 Dec, $1.56 3-8; March, $1.50 1-4.
Dec. 1 Dec, $1.62 1-4; March, $1.55 3-4.
Dec 2 Dec, $1.69 1-4; March, $1.65.
Dec 3 Dec, $1.70 3-8 ; March, $1.65.
Dec. 4 Dec, $1.71; March; $1.67. x
. Dec 6 Dec, $1.79 1-8; March, $1.75 1-2.
.Indications unmistakably point to a rise in the price of
wheat. The Babson statistical organization predicts it, govern
ment crop reports and export data warrant it, most of the deal
ers want it The "Buy a Barrel of Flour" movement is bound
to help stimulate the purchase of wheat by millers. Domestic
needs must soon be filled and foreign business will pick up as
eoon as means are found for the financing of the purchase of
grain in some of the impoverished nations.
The price of wheat never has been so high since the opening
trading on the Chicago Board of Trade as it was July 15. The
trend of wheat prices since that day has been invariably down
ward. Not in the four and a half months of trading have there
been nine consecutive days in whici rises have been recorded.
The figures themselves -are bearing out what the experts have
predicted and wheat appears to be coming up gradually to a
point where it will bring a fair return to' the man who grew it
tnd has held it in hopes of getting that fair return.
BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
OT so many years ago tuberculosis was generally regard
ed, both in medical and lay circles, as an incurable dis
ease, l he aitncted man or woman was ooomea.
In recent years it has been demonstrated that tuberculosis
is both curable and preventable and people have begun to real
ize the folly of permitting it to take a toll of thousands f lives
every year.
This country lost 34,249 of her vigorous young men during
the war but last year the total number of deaths in the United
States alone from tuberculosis was approximately 150,000.
The Red Cross, among its good works, is carrying on an ex
tensive and aggressive campaign against the white plague. It is
spending thousands of dollars in research and relief worki The
funds are raised each December through the sale of Christmas
seals.
The campaign in Umatilla county for the sale of these little
stickers is underway. With the exception of a small percentage
which goes to the natidnal organization, every dollar invested
by an Oregon citizen in these seals is spent in anti-tuberculosis
work in this state. Your money goes for the protection of your
home and family from the ignorance, carelessness and neglect of
ethers.
Think this over when you are approached by those offering
the Christmas seals for sale.

Jackson county will find Cash Wood just what Umatilla
county now knows him, a mighty capable worker, a friend of

Wood, and they are many, wish him well in his new field while
regretting his departure from Umatilla county.

The man who wondered if things ever would cease going
higher found that they would.. The same is true now of things
going lower. Better do that Christmas shopping early.

A PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN ASKED US THE OTHER DAY, "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SALE-AS THE CLOTHIERS DOT;
We believe that if people knew the facts they would understand why jewelers do not have sales and it is for that purpose that we briefly'
wish to state some facts in regard to the "jewelry" industry as a whole. , '
FIRST Jewelry does not fluctuate in price. Gold ia the standard and al
ways remains the same price. ' , ' r ' I '
SECOND Diamonds are constan tly increasing in price, and in every
diamond purchase you are assured tha t they will increase.- Partly due to the
shortage, partly due to the demand, an d partly due to the method of market
ing. To go into details takes too much space but the fact that you are as
sured of a constantly increasing Value shows there is no decrease in the price
of diamonds.
THIRD There has been some increase in the price of jewelry during the
last three years. Due to the fact that labor has increased all along the line
from the mining to the retail salesman. BUT there is no "inflated"; price in
jewelry. y ; ' r "-
SUMMARY That jewelry as a whole is composed of gold which does
, not fluctuate. Precious gems are sure to advance each year. Labor prices on
skiled labor (and all jewelry is made solely by skilled labor) shows no sign of
decreasing. . '
Now as to "especially why" no jewelry sales:
There is an odium to any jewelry sale because it is the method of the
"pawnbroker" and no jeweler who respects his name can afford to so asso
ciate himself. ' ,
i
If a jeweler needs money he can turn his stock back to the manufactur
er as it is not perishable. So when he says he is selling to raise money he is
really selling to make money because there is a profit attached in his sale
price, i , '
A pin for instance of the same pattern can be sold for $1.00 or $2.00
it all depends upon the amount of gold put on it. Therefore you see how casv
it is to allow the jeweler to mark his $1. CO pin to 32.00 and reduce it to $1.3!)
for his sale price. , ,
I ' ' -
As long as jewelry is a commodity that allows deception there M ill be
sales by the "fakir" and "pawn shop jeweler" BUT THE JEWELER WHO
IS BUILDING A BUSINESS WHO PRIZES HIS NAME -WHO-EXPECTS
OTHERS TO VALUE HIS WORD-will not have sales, because it
puts him in their class. .
2'
In jewelry, lio goods honestly marked requires a sale.
Did you ever notice that in a jewelry sale a few staples are marked as "bait?" Rut you will pay for it on llic oilier merchandise which
you are not familiar with. ... . '
Of course no one would consider giving a gift from "a jewelry store having a sale." No one desires the "bargain counter" jewelry it
lacks prestige, dignity and the guarantee the assures you.
Just as the Doctor adheres1 to the ethics of his profession just so does the jeweler of standing, refuse to'attaeh his name to "a sale." It
is is never justified and he; knows it.
