Fluctuations were narrow with gains and losses about equally di vided. Many issues were unchanged Trading was light but the atten dance In Wall Sttreet was heavy. Nervous traders flocked to the Street. They were ready to unload their holdings on an Instant's no tice. Some of them placed stop-loss orders to attempt to reduce loss ' es In event of a wild selling scram ble. They studied the Italian news carefully, especially the Italian re lection of the League of Nations peace plan, , At the opening small buying at' traded by the lower prices produc ed yesterday helped many Issues to advance. Some gained further for a time and then settled down to narrow fluctuations. Railroad issues made feeble res ponse to the sharp rise in car load' lngs reported yesterday. Fractional advances were noted in Union Pa cific, Atchison, Southern Pacific, New York Central, and Southern Pacific. Chrysler was relatively active.

Motor equipment issues moved narrowly Farm equipments were slightly higher despite a decline of about a cent a bushel in wheat. Utilities were fairly active with some of them off a point or more. Steel shares made gains, receded, and rallied again to close practically unchang ed. Electrical equipments, coppers. silvers, mercantile Issues and some of the oils were higher. Small loss' es were made by such issues ai American Telephone, Western Un ion, Johns Manville, Du Pont, and Timken Roller Bearing. American Can lost an early gain of point. Bonds were dull and steady. Itali an government Issues rallied. U. S. government bonds were mixed In a narrow range In quiet trading.

STEADY TONE IN HOP TRADE Pacific Coast hop markets main tained a steady tone during the per iod ending Sept. 18, according to the weekly Hop Market Review or the U. 8. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Trading in new crop hops was about equal to the volume of the previous week's business with about 1,536 bales sold by coast grow ers during the period principally in California. Bales by Oregon grow ers amounted to only about 220 bales with California. Sales by Ore gon growers amounted to only about 220 bales with California sales to taling around 1,316 bales. The prin cipal demand was from domestic in terests although there was some in creased Inquiry from the United Kingdom for United States hops. Prices in all areas about unchanged from those for the previous week. The market tone held about steady in all domestic markets with wme improvement in demand and the fir holding tendency of most grow erc the principal strengthening fac tors, although lighter production in practically all coast producing areas than was anticipated earlier in the season was an additionl Influence in the firmer situation. Oregon hop markets were rathe quiet with sales by growers totaling only about 220 bales of which 100 bales brought 12c and 120 bales brought 10c per lb., net to growers for new crop Early Clusters, varia tion, in price depending upon qual ity. No sales of Fuggles or Lntc Clusters were reported during the period under review. Picking of the Oregon hop crop !s expected to be completed by around Sept. 21, with most trade estimates indicating n crop In this state of around 100,000 bales as compared with 125,000 bales expected earlier In the season, as compared with around 100,000 bales harvested last year. Quality 1b re ported as variable since red spider Infestation and delay in picking B3 the result of the lack of pickers dur ing the harvesting period tended to reduce the grade of the crop.

Briefs filed with the chairman of he hearing, Earl J. Smith of th? department of agriculture, Wash ington, D. C, will be forwarded to Washington. Another hearing will be held in Berkeley, Calif., Monday A number of growers urged adop tion of an agreement covering Ore gon alone and divorced from the California setup. William V. Dolph of Newberg, Ore., presented signat ures of growers representing 6700 acres, declaring flat opposition to the present agreement, It was point ed out that seven of the nine con trol board members are Califor- nlans. Harry Daniels, Portland attorney and stockholder of the Eugene FTUit Growers' association, attacked the action of his association manage ment in backing the walnut market ing agreement. Proponents of the agreement were headed by W. E. Goodspeed of Los Angeles who declared -growers re ceived $4 a bag more for their wal nuts the past two years because ot the agreement, and its continuance was imperative with a record large crop in sight. Decision as to the marketing plan for the 1935 crop will be an nounced from Washington after all the testimony is examined. MAlETTil AT WEEK-END Portland, Ore., Sept. 21 (IP) The butter market was unchanged Sat urday. Butterfat was firm. While in spots a slightly easier tone is sug gested, general trading In the cheese market is at least steady. No change in price for the Pacific slope. Rather heavy demand from the domestic territory is showing for apples which is creating a strong tone and well maintained price list for carlots at primary points of Pa cific northwest. Surprising heavy output of to matoes continues to be offered from Willamette valley and local points. Continued good weather has al lowed maturity of a greater per cent of the crop than normal. Prices are weaker as a result. PRUNE DRYING ON WITH LARGE CROP Prune dryinsr is now getting un derway at virtually full blast and there will be a large crop of prunes according to reports but a large per centage of small sizes. Some of the canneries say that because of the small sizes which they cannot han dle In the cans there is apt to be yet a shortage of requirements for canned prunes but they hope to receive enough and there is every indication of a very large prune pack being put up. Prunes are reported to be having a pretty fair sugar content and are weighing more than earlier. County Inspector Van Trump who has been looking over driers reports there seems to be a comparatively larger crop in the hills than the lowlands. HOP PICKING TO END NEXT WEEK Hon picking Is expected to wind up some time next week and earlier estimates as to the size of the crop are being revamped with one est! mate being made of 100.000 bales as compared to an 80.000 bale esti mate when it was thought picking might discontinue earlier. But numerous yards have kept right on going. Even at that this same es. timator places a figure as high as 30.000 bales may be left unpicked. Numerous big yards cut off about a week ago leaving varying amounts on the vines. Red spider and other reasons have caused some hops to be left unpicked while difficulties In fi nancing and a low and inactive market have all contributed to the same result.

Senator IVTNary Can't See Why Anyone Wants To Dwell in Noisy City An advocate for more than a year of a "breathing spell for business" as declared by President Roosevelt just re cently Senator Charles L. McNary now is enjoying a breathing spell himself at his' country home fives miles north of Salem after the strenuous duties undertaken as republican leader In the United States senate, Sitting comfortably In one of the many rockers on the lawn in front of his cottage, Oregon's senior mem ber of the senate receives dozens of visitors dally and after visiting with them for a time takes them over his 238 acre place and shows them the beauty spots as well as his wal nut and cherry orchard. "I am happy to oe home. Why anyone wants to live in a city is ADULT CLASS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE TO BE STARTED Announcement of a class under the new social security program, an adult vocational-recreational class In landscape gardening, practical designing, psychology and social sci ence combining as a unit was made here today. William Berg, local landscape architect, will head the class. "This Is a new promising and in terestLng class with educational values," said Mr. Berg," and you will take back with you a little more knowledge each day than when you came. A complete list of books will be available at the class covering land scaping, flowers of color and the home, furnished by the state lib rary, your local library or the lib' ary at Oregon State college. Prospective individuals who are willing to participate, and who are Interested in these subjects, should bring in written form their particu. lar kfnd of problems that they would like to solve, whether nice lawns, landscaping for avocation or com pensation, and things of general in terest that they would like to know. Classes will be Informal, a sort of 'Among Ourselves" spirit. We are pioneering again, this time In a new and rapidly chang ing modernistic world and can no loner live to the former tradition of every one for himself and the devil take the hindermost, the caus es of the losses of our savings and thrift, we are now realizing the social discovery that all of us have things in common and the need for the origin of this new social secur ity ; something people heretofore have never undertaken as a nation al program. "Of course we have had our stan dards; our land marks or objectives and find ourselves tied down to our mental stakes in which our rapidly changing world has moved out from under us leaving us caught in the strain. We are lending an ear to anv authority to help guide the compass of our ship of state which neces sarily must come from that mental, internal direction while we are out at sea in rough waters under pres sure. Great men are those wno re alize that thoughts rule the world. "If you don't have any troubles- enroll any way. Classes start the first part of October." The government program for this district is sponsored by Oregon State college; Roben J. Maaske, di rector of emergency education In the state department of education; Mary L. Pulkerson, Marlon county school superintendent; and T. T. McKen zie, vocational director. For enrollment and further infor mation application may be made to S. Gaiser. superintendent of city school, Administration building, 434 N. High street. COUNTY ASKED TO ASSIST FARMERS Albany Cooperation of the Linn county agent in the moving of farm products, real property and sundry other articles which farmers ma; wish to sell was asked in a resolu tion nassed Wednesday at a county wide conference of granges held In the Grand Prairie grange hall. The resolution, passed at a gen eral session, was the outgrowth of discussions at a meeting of the ag ricultural group. It was requested that the county agent act as the medium through which farmers who have surplus agricultural products or other goods may be placed, in the hands of purchasers througn contact by the agent with other county agents, granges and similar organizations throughout the state. It was revealed that a Linn coun ty farmer had several tons of rye grass which he could not sell. In southern Oregon another farmer wanted ryegrass seed, which he could not buy locally. It was sug gested that the county agent act as Intermediary to bring together seller and buyer, cooperating with similar agencies elsewhere. State Grange Master GUI. who was present and gave an address. admonished the farmers that co operation is the only valid solu tion of the farmers' problems. It will be necessary for the farmers to pull together to place the agri cultural industry on a plane with other industries he said. A number of other state grange officers were present at the meet ing. more than I can understand," Mc Nary said, and Impressions indicat ed he meant every word of It. "I am happy here to get away from the noise and rush of Washington. "I don't see why more people do not live on the farm, perhaps not as large as this place, but on several acres, raise some chickens, a garden and flowers. No, I don't think I would want a cow." The senator will discuss events of the day and comment upon national issues, but he said he had not read anything lately but stories about the Joe Louis fight and the baseball gtmes. "I got weary of reading so many reports and records far into the night when I was in Washing ton that I read very little here." His dog Jacks, "a cur I picked up once and which answers the pur pose," is always with the senator., He is a handsome brown animal and : is as friendly as the senator. On his trip over his place, where tall evergreens shade several springs, McNary will take visitors over a rustic bridge and can to his geese to throw them corn. He stated he now has 42 Eastern honkers he has spoiled because he gets so much en joyment out of them. Behind the cottage Is a pretty putting green where the solon often can be found. A fine tennis court has also been constructed on the place. Description of the farm home oi McNary is difficult. When visitors turn off the road his place Is mark ed by a simple mall box on which is inscribed "Chas. L. McNary" they drive through his orchards, then cross a small spring and pond. filled with fish, to approach the green ravine where larger ponds are the playgrounds of the geese. Extolling the pleasure of his farm McNary said he built his cottage eight years ago where there used to be shacks to house hop pickers, His place Is part of the old McNary homesteady which has been in his family for years, and is the Ore gon hop territory. When back from Washington Mc Nary seldom leaves his place. He has been to Salem, a few miles away. only several times since his return here a month ago. People come to visit him and that route these days is a well-beaten path. And when vis itors leave he insists they return to see him again soon. Having all the qualifications with the possible exception of geographic position McNary is considered in Oregon as the No. 1 republican, nationally. He has been busy since his return to his state, but the change, he said, was restful. He dis cusses national affairs frankly, but only to those who keep his confi dence. His informal talks are "off the record. Asked when he was going to start his campaign for re-election to the senate In 1936, he seid he never campaigned, but spent all his time working for his people of Oregon right now on PWA project applica tions. He said he went to the senate 18H years ago. Mrs. McNary and their adopted baby are with him at the farm.

But almost Is not enough In any war. With tuberculosis still the chief cause of death in the age group 15 to 45, and the second prin cipal cause of death among all em ployed males, almost will not do, We must see this campaign through to the finish. We the same we as before know enough now to stamp out tuberculosis. But it's the gap be' tween what is known and what Is applied and made use of that makes this disease still one of the greatest problems of civilized life."

WHEAT PRICES Chicago, Sept. 21 (IP) Wheat prices dropped under the dollar a bushel level on the Chicago board of trade today on weakness in for eign markets and continued uncer tainty over war news. At the close wheat was H to V cents ft bushel lower with all deliv eries under the dollar level, corn was cent higher to cents low er, oats were cent higher to 4 cent lower, and rye was to 1 cent lower. A bearish Interpretation was plac ed on the Argentine acreage esti mate of 14,078.000 acres, compared with 18.804,000 acres sown last year, but 2,000,000 or more above the re cent private estimates. Week-end profit taking was also against the market, as well as sharp declines at Liverpool, Rotterdam and Buenos Aiers. Continued liqui dation was considered natural In view of the sensational advances last week.

He said: "On the Sunday afternoon, a few hours before Senator Long was shot, he called Gov. Allen, A, P. Tug- well, chairman of the state high way commission and me into con ference. 'Long told Tugwell he wanted him for governor. Tugwell refused, even after Long Insisted. Long then called Judge Richard W. Leche (of the court of appeals) and asked him what his religion was. Leches reply seemed to satisfy him, so he said Leche would be the gubernatorial candidate and I would be candidate for lieutenant governor. I refused, and said I wanted to be governor, and suggested Allen Ellender, speak er of the house, for lieutenant gov ernor. 'No,' Long said. 'We're going to run Leche, Wen take care of Ell ender some other way, and you'll be lletutenant governor.
