CENT; QUALITY
STUFF SCARCE

ket one cent lower for top grades.
there were reports In the trade of
price cutting.
Everything Indicates that the

orcam and butter were kept in the
interior and in beach resorts re
gions because of the expected de
mand on the holiday, in view of
the expected increase, further ad
vances in butter and butterfat are
expected to be withheld until near
the middle of the month. In some
quarters, there la talk of a down
ward adjustment, but it seems as
If prices will be held.

tion Is increasing rapidly.

PROBE OF LUPER
LIKELY WEDNESDAY
Because of the absence of Gov
ernor Norblad, who is at Astoria,
the state reclamation commission
will not meet Tuesday to Inquire
into the financial condition of the
state engineering department as ad
ministered by State Engineer Rhea
Luper. The governor was the prime
mover In calling the hearing, and
has prepared a series of questions
to ask Luper. The inquiry will
center on .the statement in an audi
tor's report that Luper has retain
ed about $1800 Interest money since
October, 1920. The governor is to
return Wednesday and it is prob
able that the hearing will be meet
ing Wednesday afftjirnoon.
Before leaving Salem the latter
part of last week the governor said
that when he returned he would
make a statement relative to letters
and telegrams from Portland urg
ing him to call a special se.Mon of
the legislature, If necessary, to fore
stall appropriation of power rights
on Oregon streams by private cor
porations. Since State Engineer
Luper has declared that he will
grant no permits until after the
regular 1931 session it Is not be
lieved the governor will call a spe
cial session.

DOROTHY MACKAYE
RECEIVES OVATION
Hollywood, Cal., (IP) Dorothy
Mackaye, noted stage star who
served a term in San Quentin pri
son In connection with the death
of her h us bend, Ray Raymond,
made her debut here Monday night
in "A Cup of Sugar" her first at
tempt to regain public favor. ,
Tears filled Miss Mackaye's eyes
as she received an ovation at the
end of the first act. She attempted
no curiam speech but in her dress
ing room she told friends, "You
don't know what a relief It was
to hear the applause."
Dramatic critics said Miss Mack-
aye accomplished a doubly difficult
task because of her choice of plays.
The Lynn starring vehicle made
her a slightly tipsy young matron,
the central figure of a risque plot.
Miss Mackaye served most of a
one-year sentence for conspiracy In
Raymond's death. Paul Kelly, the
actress ajlegcd paramour, was Im
prisoned for manslaughter on tes
timony that Raymond died after a
fist fight with him. Miss Mackaye
was accused of concealing evidence.

LEGGE ADVISES
AGRICULTURE
TO ORGANIZE
Syracuse, N. V. (ff) A distinct
step forward has been made by ag
riculture, said Alexander Legge,
chairman of the federal farm board,
in an address here Tuesday, in se
curing recognition of the fact that
agriculture as an Industry is en
titled to the same consideration at
the government's hands ash other
industries have received.
"Perhaps the soundest advice we
can give to agriculture is contained
in the one word 'organize,' " he said,
speaking at the New York state farm
bureau meeting at the state fair.
"Properly organized I cannot see
any reason why agriculture might
not go farther than industry, inas
much as most of your products are
consumed every day and several
times a day, and the consumption
must be fairly continuous if wc are
to live.
"Perhaps the greatest difficulty
we have to contend with in accom
plishing results under the terms of
the agricultural marketing act is the
rather prevalent belief on the part
of the people we are trying to serve
that some mysterious way Is going
to be found where, through leglsla
tlve action, the handicap under
which agriculture is suffering will be
removed and their position made se
cure without any action on the part
of the farmer himself." This, he
said, is a dream that would not come
true.
"In collaboration with the depart-
mcnt of agriculture we can furnish
the best Information available as to
market outlook and prospects and
assist cooperatives in providing pro
per facilities for the warehousing
and handling of any agricultural
commodity."
In all these matters, the start
must be made by the producers
themselves, he said. "Back of organ
ized marketing lies the question of
orderly production. Over production
does not pay. Agriculture must take
a leaf from the notebook of indus
try by paying more attention to a
situation generally reflected in hea
vy inventories or carryover for pre
ceding years.

SMALL PRUNES
QUOTED EASIER
LARGE FIRMER
Prunes are quoted easier this week
than last in the small sizes and
firmer in the larger sizes which are
going to be proportionately scarce
as it now looks, says the current
issue of the California Fruit News.
There has not been any great
amount of prune buying In the
country by packers anywhere as yet.
The prices offered to growers by
packers based upon what they can
at present sell at are entirely too
low and they admit it. But they do
not feel In a position to force the
market and under the present big
crop are in no hurry, of course, tc
load up until the distributing trade
begins to buy and also until prunes
begin to come in, which will be in
a few weeks. Growers are generally
not disposed to sell at present quo
tations. It is probable that the prune
industry advertising program that
has been worked upon over the
spring and summer may not be un
dertakn this year because prices are
so low that growers do not have the
money to pay in even the one-eighth
cent a pound arranged. This is not
yet final but seems possible at this
writing.

Moscow A mo;' .it, self-effacing
mother direct-; the spending
of nearly two billion dollars an
nually for Soviet Russia.
And she still can make all her
own clothes and do her own cook
ing! Barbara Nikolaevna Yakovleva
holds one of the world's big Jobs.
She is Russia's commissar of fin
ance, a post comparable to that of
Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the
U. S. treasury.
Her salary is ISO dollars a month
a tenth of Mel Ion's although
millions of rubles pass through her
hands daily.
She is the only woman member of
the Soviet cabinet and only one
other nation, England, has a woman
cabinet member.
Once an obscure revolutionist,
hunted by the Czar's secret police,
Madame Yakovleva watches ex
penditures of the government with
the shrewd eye of a careful house
wife. In her vast financial house
hold she employs 15,000 men and
2,000 women.
She, herself, toils 16 to 18 hours
a day, Sundays and holidays in
cluded. She lives in a small 5-room flat
near a workers' settlement with her
aged parents and her two children.
Her husband, also a revolution
ary, is superintending construction
of a big factory at Saratov, on the
voiga.
Years of privation and hardship
taught Madame Yekovleva to be in-
tensly practical.
That is why she does not conceal
the fact that she can still scrub
floors, wash clothes, make all her
own dresses and do her own cook
ing. She wears no jewelry or other
embellishment and does not believe

To your correspondent she looked
the part of a good mother, a woman
of quiet demeanor, neatness and
great charm. She is 45, fair, with
blue eyes, chestnut hair and a soft
even voice.
Her only hobbies are mathe
matics, music and the radio. She
holds a master's degree in higher
mathematics and is an excellent
pianist. She sometimes finds time
to go to the theater, the ballet or
a concert.
Her present high post was won
by the hardest toil, and unremitting
service to the revolution.
Five times she was exiled or im

spending years in Siberia.
She knew and worked with Lenin

OUTLOOK FOR
T
Mint distilling is expected to last
for another 10 days, reports L. O.
Herrold who was up from the Labish
section Tuesday and while quality
will be fine and quantity good Her
rold states that from present Indica
tions he doesn't know now Just what
he Is going to do with it. Market
outlook is not rosy he states, and
where last year at this time the
mint was moving out in 15 and 20
barrel lots at a time, it is now mov
ing out in five-gallon cans and not
too many of them going.
His three stills are all In opera
tion and nicely started turning out
from 120 to 130 gallons a day from
his 2 85 -acre crop of if.int in the La
bish section. The Hayes big double
stills are also going at about the
same rate and his acreage is along
in the same neighborhood ae the
Herrold acreage this year, consid
erable of the Hayes acreage having
gone out last year to be replaced by
onions.
Herrold says that there is no par
ticular reason for the stagnant con
dition of the mint market. As far
as Is known there is no great world
surplus, he slates there Is only a
fair crop in the middle west and
demand for mint for general pur
poses should bs on a good average.
Last year there were heavy exports
to European countries, but at the
same time Russia dumped consider
able quantities of mint onto the Eu
ropean markets.
Quality on the lake this year, he
saye, is very good and if a favorable
market reaction comes on, mint
growers should do fairly well but
present outlook is none too good.
He also states that the onion pull
ing Is pretty well over with drying
advancing, and onions being carted
to Labish warehouses. He states
that as far as lie knows the present
onion market is none too rosy but
some have been sold. Unless there
are some early freezes in the middle
west, he sees no reason why the
market should perk up to any great
extent on onions although the La
bish acreage is considerably larger
this year in expectations of a re
covery of the market nnd advancing
fall and winter may change condi
tions. .
