HIGHER FLOUR PRICES IS
DUE TO GRAIN SHORTAGE
Coming February 20, “ The Lost
Battalion” given by the American j
Legion.
President of Sperry Flour Co. Quotes
Government Bulletin in Support
of Statement
San Francisco, Feb. 2, 1925— The
increased price o f flour is directly
due to a genuine shortage in bread
grains, according to W. H. Joyce,
president o f the Sperry Flour Co.,
and a form er member o f the Farm
Loan Board at Washington, D. C.
In support o f his statement, Joyce
called attention to a bulletin issued
January 6, 1925, by the Depart
ment o f Agriculture, which states
that farmers are getting a good
price fo r wheat fo r the first time
in four years because o f the inevi
table law o f supply and demand.
The bulletin, according to Joyce,
demonstrates that housewives are
paying higher prices fo r
flour
and bakery products, not because
o f profiteering on the part o f gro
cers, bakers or milling firms, but
because o f a real shortage o f wheat.
The outstanding
facts
of
the
bulletin as quoted by Joyce are:
The acreage planted to wheat in
North Am erica was 10 to 12 per cent
lessthan that fo r 1923.
The United States’ 1924 wheat
crop was 25,000,000 bushels below
the five-year
average,
and only
70,000,000 bushels over the small
crop o f 1923.
Canada's export crop in 1923 to
taled 375,000,000 bushels; last year
it declined to 175,000,000 bushels.
From July 1 to December 31,
1923, the Uuited States exported
ouly 81, 000,000 bushels o f wheat,
while during the same period last
year 197,000,000 bushels were ex
ported.
“ The government’s bulletin points
out that these facts show unmis
takably the reasons fo r the prevail
ing price o f wheat,” Joyce declared.
“ It also states that the conjunction
o f circumstances responsible fo r it
is one that is unlikely to occur on the
average more than once in many
years, and therefore, does not war
rant the expectation o f continued
high prices in future years.

That the shipping o f day-old
chicks across state lines is not a f
fected by the quarantine and embar
go regulations against the
fow l
plague is the assurance to Oregon
poultry breeders given by the state
college experiment station.
The fow l pest has caused

head o f the veterinary medicine de
partment, but has not appeared in
any state as far west as the Rocky
mountains so fa r as known. Un
founded roports tend to throw a
panic into some poultry growers and
damage the breeders correspond
ingly.
Dr. L. F. Pelton, state veterina
rian o f Washington, has wired Dr.
Simms that the regulations made
by that state do not apply to day-
old chicks. The same may be said
o f the California regulations, and
as far as known, o f those o f Idaho
and other states.

REGULAR MEETING
Due to other attractions last Fri
day night, the attendance at the
Eastern Clackamas Community Club
was considerably reduced in size.
The meeting was called to order
about 8 :30 p. m., by the president,
A. G. Ames, in the high school au
ditorium and the regular monthly
business was taken up at that time.
Mrs. II. C. Stephens, chairman o f
the road sign committee, reported
that the three members o f her
committee had visited County Judge
Cross and had outlined the plan as
proposed by the Community Club
fo r marking the roads in this
part o f Clackamas County. The
fund fo r that purpose had been
exhausted and plans wore under con
sideration to take care o f the neces
sary markers fo r the highways and
roads o f the county at a later date.
The subject fo r a rest roo m fo r
the city was next taken up and J.
M. Moore was called upon to out
line the plan as he had proposed it
to some o f the members.
In dis
cussing this he suggested that sev
eral organizations go together to
secure the necessary furnishings
and that a suitable building could
be obtained for this purpose at a
reasonable cost. In this manner
these organizations
could have a
place where the regular business
could be easily transacted and the
records kept.
Mr. Stephens was
called and stated that such a plan
might be worked out. The matter
was le ft fo r a discussion at the next
regular meeting.
Mr. Delphine o f Barton enter

o f excellent violin selections. He
was accompanied on the piano by
Miss Corrine Trullinger.

He dis
cussed the advertising campaign

new
George
M elford
production
for Paramount, featuring Jacque
line Logan, David Torrence and
Raymond Griffith, will be Hhown at
the Gem Theatre Saturday and Sun
day nights, February 7 and 8.
The story, by Frances
Hodgson
Barnett, differs from all other suc
cessful plays that have been pictur-
ized in that it underlines the impor
tance o f one’s intellectual attitude
toward life, and the effect o f things
unseen and only thought.
Miss Logan’s role as the London
waif, Glad, who makes things come
right by the strength o f her ‘ wishin’
and ‘arskin’ we regard as one o f the
greatest attainments o f her phe
nomenal career.
There is an inner
force about her acting that radiates
her impersonation and makes it
both strong and winning.
In the
scene in which she repels the ad
vances o f a daring degenerate and
forces him to do her will merely by
‘arskin’ and ‘arskin’ the Unknown
Power she blindly believes in to com
pel him, she reaches the height o f
performance and grips her audience
with genuine power. She has some
very excellent assistnee from T o r
rence and Griffith, the two other
featured players, and from several
members o f the
supporting cast,
Alma Bennett and Guy O liver in
particular.
