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

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

l'or four ye:i'-s, ever fdnee the

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

problem.
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. Now, taking all
things Into consideration, your
editorial was misleading nnd not
according to tho fact In the case.
