Vanity is an able machine If It I'C-.r-j to benevolence. The Robert C. Paulus company announced today that it has gone out of Jhe market on Its prune in 30-40 and when It comes hack in It will be to sell at not less than 11 V, cents a pound. This U the be.it price yet Indieated on 30a, al though predictions have been mane bv nackers that 30s would be well ing for 12 cents or better before the crop Is cleaned up. Indications are that there are not many more than 9.000,000 pounds of prunes all told in Ore gon in pa :keiH and growers handx both information emanating from Kiiiiie of the p.ickei-M indicating that estini it'-'S tut to what they had on hand hut been a lilile swelled over the actual holdings. The main bulk of the prunes are held in firm ban la and the only seem ing fluctuation in the markets will be along the line of an ad vance rather than a decline. An Interesting point was brought out in a Jet'er received fiom an Kngll-h broker by the paulus company In which the broker was discussing the sutijeet of exchange All reports emanating from Kng lund for severe! weeks had been to the effect that the market on prunes was continually weakening. As a matter of fact the market on prune reni'tlntd stationery, but because of the strengthening Cf the exchange had nppeared to weaken. In other wo run, while the price paid here for pruneB In Kng land rcmalne'l the same, with Die advance of the exchange rates more pounds of prunes could he bought In Kngl-iiid for the same amount of fcngliwh coin, and thus the repnrts of declining markets there. The letter stated that it was the opinion of buyers that the exchange rate would continue on the upward trend until It reached par. Prices therefore, stated the letter, would be still lower. Reports from packers general ly ore to the effect that never dur ing the season have Inquiries been so heavy n during the pant few days. Paulus reports sales or about 100. 000 pounds Haturday and gavo an option on 500 cases 40-50 at cents and 600 cases of 35- 45s at 9 n cents, both prices1 be ing f. o. b. dock in Portland. A letter revived from New Orleans Htated that largo quantise of Ore gun and California prunes had Just been received there and were moving slowly end no business need be expected from that quar ter for a time. LEFT IN MARKET Not over 110 cars of Oregon onions ronutln unsold out of the tl50-car crop. An a large propor tion of the crop wan shipped to the east early In the fall, not only from Oregon but also from Cali fornia, a shortage has developed in the const state and the result is an unusually high market. Ore gon growers are now offered $4 a hundred at shipping poinds but they are not Inclined to sell freely. In the lin nl Jobbing market up to $5 Is quoted on the best etock. Tttf? onions aro keeping exceptionally well tnia winter and tue prospects for the growers are good. The Markets here are now out of line with the east, but It Is a case where coast conditions govern. In a review of the eastern onion market situation the bureau of ag ricultural economics says this sea son's price line, which recently has tended upward and last season's price line, which continuously de clined, came to the eroding point in mid -Decern her. HI nee then the market has advanced rapidly, even surpajwing that of early 1923. Oains of 2Grb0c per 100 pounds during the past week brought New York yellow varieties up to a Job bing range of $2.90 U 3.40 In east ern cities. Massachusetts yellows advanced to $4.25 In Hoston nnd mid western stock closed at $2.75 V'3.5'). Medium to large sized yellows sold as high as $3.50 in Chicago, with Kt. Louis reporting red globes at $3.75. White onions apparently met the keenest de mand. Jumping to $5u 5 25 on the CliK-ago market, while yellow stock from the west ranged $3.50 M.SO. Trice of Spanish Valen cia held about steady. Hoston dealers were getting $ 1.50 fu1 1.00 per crate and n range of $l.754r "l.'ib prevallel In the middle west.

OPEN F O R U M Contributions to Tbla Column must ba plainly wrltleo on one ilde of paper only limited to 300 words In length and signed with the name of the writer. Articles not meeting these specifi cations will be rejected. To the Editor: Why le there no many glrlti going astray? Thin question in being anked through out America and my idea on this flnbject 1 have decided to print, whether wrong or right. How many position are held down today by married women? They arc far too numerous to mention. Young single girls are asking, pleading, begging every day fur only a chance to earn an honest living. They appear early In the morning eeeking a posi tion until thoroughly exhausted at night they give up In despair to tho Mm. When girlts get mar ried they are taking the reepon Htbllity of keeping a home and taking what her husband ran af ford to give her. Why ten't mar ried life ft miceeee like it used to be? Trace this hack and you will reach the conclusion as being this: "I don't want to do house work. I want to be a business wo man and get out with o there. Hubby can't afford to dreea me like other women so I have to get out and make my own clothee." Why didn't they look out for this before marriage. No, Instead they want to be eelfieh and have two pay days while some poor girl has none and trying to escape the environment of evil and wrong doing. After work hours tho husband cornea home to a cold house and when hifl wife arrive ehe Is tired nnd of course peevish, from the every day grind of a bueineae wo man and also trying to keep hnutie BucccHttfully. She lfl too tired to go to a show with hubby lnetead he goes alone flecking something, o m eo n e to whom he can be a companion. The young girl rise with early dawn, puts on the old coat and hat that "he hae postsetsr d f o r yearn. The lining perhaps Is rag ged, he is cold, yet ehe linger, on the last step of ninfulneos. The heel of her mwe are perhaps In the middle of her foot, ehe must try at least to make herwelf look neat and clean. When inhe In turned from her application with a scoff and a laugh she wonders which road he will take. Starvation Evil Hegging. She Is born of good par ents, all three paths that are left prove horrid to her. The average wife now laughs at the idea of bearing children to light their hearts and home with happiness. Her phrase Is usually this: "Why we can't keep our- ctelves. what; would we do if I had to quit work and have another one to keep?" Still. In the parage stands a closed car. balloon tires. etc.. and perhaps next to It stands a roadster for every day use. In her wardrobe Is perhaps a dozen dretsses discarded because fash ions demand something new. An other party is planned for the next evening, lunch for twenty or thirty must be bomiht as she refuses to do linking and nny way ehe doesn't have time. The poor girl who Is seeking employment dreams of a siiuare meal, to work enough so as to have a dress ao she can find her mate, and of course a home and kill dies. The only good point In all her experience Is that she will not try t keep her position, if she secures one. from other girls after she has a home and a hubby to support her. She will not want to deprive any girl of an honest UvIti. HustnesR men of today, don't your conscience hurt you when yuu stop to think of the many single girls asking for work and to count the number of married girls that are holding down posi tions In your place of business. Some day you will perhaps have a girl that will want & position and when you are aware of the fact that ehe will have to get married to get one will that please you? Why give some fam ily two pay days when some have none? If I was ably fit, I would place a bill before the legislature to the effect that all married women be barred from public work un less divorced or a widow or even If their husbands are mentally or physically unfit to hold down a position then of course there would be exceptions. If this law would go Into ef fect take a count of the divorces now and afterwards, there will be just half the divorces as there are at the present time. Single girls be careful and get you a husband that can support you eo as to give the next gener ation of single girls a chance. If at first you don't succeee, try, try again. Signed XVIII. To the Editor: The residents of Salem have every reason to be proud of the new Parrlsh junior high school as It le conceded to be one of the finest In the United States, but to my mind there is one thing lacking which Is most es sential, and that Is some sort of shed or protection for the pupils' bicycles. Not long ago a oicycle man was quoted In your columns as saying that he estimated mere were $10. 000 worth of bicycles lying out in the ruin going to ruin around lar. rish junior high. Nothing will finish a "bike" quicker than rain and I believe the average parent would be happy to see their boyV "bike' protected. I have been allowing our bov to ride to school on nice days nniy, but most pupils live too far away lo walk. When there has been so much money spent on all the appoint ments of this lovely school, surely there should be a little more sp:ut for protection of the pupil's prop erty. A CONTKKXKD PAH EXT. Salem, Jan. 16. To the Editor. i feel tint I must take exceptions to your cd. torial In Friday evening's edition ot your valuable paper. You write of the "Vagueness of Ooctrino" of the Protestant Epis copal church. I know of no re liigous organization that keeps be fore Its people continually the whole matter ot doctrine whtcn Is expressed in the creeds wjilch are recited every time we have a serv ice. Nothing VnRiie about tue.r creeds. As to "tolerance." I an g ad to agree with you on that point, only sometimes to tolerin!. Now as to Hisltop Urown. on' has to know the man In order to form a Just Judgment. I met lilni at the general convention of tht Kplscopal church In 1907, held In Richmond, trginia. He was most spectacular and ever seeking to be In the fore front with strange Ideas. At tha.

Checks were inn i If d to member Januury ltitli. Tha mrlctly full .ihoin wool of ttli k i alien, chiefly from UouuUw cuniy, Oregon, net led ni'-mb.rs 5 cents a pound as compared with n n nvci a out bide price for tliee wools of about 40 cents. l'or four ye:i'-s, ever fdnee the association was formed, it hus re ceived i-xL-yptionally excellent prices f-ir the fall wools which are Kcnurcd fr lo":d mill consumption by the organization. r.ic.e wools before the formation of the asso ciation broufc'ht less than the sprins wools, on account of short er leigth. The s.soeiation by scouring discovered them to be ex ceptionally lii;ht in shrinkage. which, even though tho wool brings It-es per scoured pound than spring wool, nets growers a higher grea.se price per pound. This is the result of the Pacific Cooperative Wool Growers policy of selling the wools of the 2800 members strictly on their merit, based on quality, grade and actual shrinkage. Cross prices by grades in the fall short wools received by the association were as follows: fine and half 58 'c, three-eighths and quarter 66 c, low quarter and braid 6040. The association Is the only wool mar keting organizailon which ever scoured wool for its members. This enables the organization to arrive at the actual value of clothing, fall shorn, timber stained, defec tive and damaged wools, and re sults In numbers receiving a much better price than where off wools are sold in tho grease. The Pa cific Cooperative Wool Growers are at present engaged In scour Ingover half a million pounds of fall and lambs wool for their Cali fornia members.

After opening at to 1 high er, May $1.35 to $1.36, the corn market sored a quick further ad ..vance. Oats started at U to 1 -i gain, with May 63 to 63. A further rise ensued. Provisions were firm.

In the general convention at Portland In 1923 he sent a request to the House of Itishops to try him for heresy which was almost, if not quite, insulting. No attention was paid to It at that time. Not until the matter became unbear able by the aggressiveness of Bishop Brown did action follow. The Episcopal church Is not out heresy hunting. Sometimes It Is forced to act. As to Bishop Brown being a martyr, I cannot Imagine that ab being true, ae It was what he has been wanting and Insisting on for yeart). Now It Is only a matter of com mon honesty for any one who hat; taken the binding obligations of one who occupies a position ae a teacher In the church, when he ceases to believe and to conduct himself as he promised, to resign from the work and office which was granted him only on the con dition of his vows. I admire one who differs and ie honest in his convictions, but not one who s dishonest and seeks to use his posi tion for gain.
