TO HEAD AUXILIARY
(Continued from page 1)
Late Friday afternoon the con
vention body will vote on a consti
tutional change which would make
the Junior past president of the de
partment the national committee
woman Instead of the active presi
dent as If the case now. The sug

this change be made. Mm. Kelly of

mittee woman for two years, as

merger can be effected without

without assistance from the national

of Portland, told the delegates. One
hundred children need hospitaliza

WHEAT PRICES
MARK TIME FOR
CROP REPORTS
Chicago. (IP) The wheat market
had Utile feature Friday, the ten
dency being to -watt for publication
of the government report. There
was a short fall-off at the opening
but throughout the morning prices
hovered around the previous ciose.
Corn after an early drop came
back strong to close around yes
terday's lose.
Trading In oats was not active
arid the market closed about even.
At the close wheat was unchang
ed to cent higher, corn was
down H to U cent up. oats was
unchanged to cent off.
Prices on oats were lower with
the other grains at the opening of
the . market but all losses were re
gained and around mid-day the
trading was strong, with prices at
high level.
The low stock market had Its ef
fect on wheat during the morning,
traders In wheat selling out of
their lines. Liverpool also had an
effect on the trade, qpening lower
with a close cents boom. Trade,
however, after the early drop On
the market here, found good buy
ing support and again made good
advance before mid session.
Throughout the morning the mar
ket was nervous because of the
government report which would be
given out at 3 p. m.
Rains were received in tne
American Northwest. Australian
advices again estimated the crop
far below normal with a condi
tion likened somewhat to that of
1914 when there was a failure.
Cash prices at Chicago were un
changed and receipts were 182
cars.
Corn dipped lower at the start
Friday but excellent commission
house support brought prices well
back above the previous close.

BEND WINS STUNT '
PRIZE AT CONVENTION
(Continued from page 1)
The hiatus in the celebration down
town was only a couple oi eastern
Oregon Legion contingents oblig
ingly standing at ease to anow a
milk wagon to get by.
Anyone who went home Deiore o
o'clock Friday morning missed
something. All night long music
and song filled the air. Some of
it was harmony and some wasn't.
Some of it came from the streets
and the hotel lobbies, and some of
it from away up-stairs in the ho
tels. Curiously the music that
came from up-stairs wasn't as har
monious as that down-stairs.
The night hours of the Ameri
can Legion convention had no or
ganized program. Visiting Legion
naires and their companions of the
Legion auxiliary were having a
good time, and most of it was or
derly. Mostly they traveled in par
ties. Lone celebrants were scarce.
Harry Levy of Capital post, Salem,
was alone except for a pet sheep.
Harry led the lamb all around
town. "We are looking for Mary,"
he explained. "Has anyone seen
Mary?"
An eastern Oregon veteran and
two girl friends strolled down State
street arm In arm, singing, "We
don't give a damn for the whole
Willamette valley. Two Legion
naires with lady friends on their
arms were proclaiming musically,
"There ain't no wives with us."
A touch of old-time celebration
was added by one group of Legion
naires and auxiliary members who
hauled a cannon around town
shooting It off at the street corn
ers. Until long after midnight the
congestion of pedestrians and au
tomobiles on tne streets was con
tinuous. Motor vehicles stood In
long lines on State and Commer
clal street awaiting opportunity to
move on.
Church street from Court to
Ferry where the carnival attrac
tions are located was Jammed un
til midnight. Hundreds of children
patronized the "rides", while the
athletic show, the shooting gallery,
the palmist and the games all had
waiting lines of patrons. The con
vention is a harvest for the con
cessionaires. BARLEY. YIELDS 75

The present active market makes
it possible to anticipate, the associ

be packed, shipped and cleaned up
before 1929 is ready. The Prune I
association also states that Its
next and final '-payment may be
larger than the one the other day.
