"Our Service Will Please You; Your Patronage Will Please Us" Wheat Climbs Steadily For Week at Portland There was very little irregular ity in the steady movement of wheat prices to higher levels dur ing the past week, reports the Port land Grain exchange. The grain trade, without excep tion, feels that prices have advanc ed too rapidly and that caution should be used to insure a healthy recovery of prices, rather than a speculative skyrocketing with a col lapse later. Wheat prices have doubled with in a month at most interior points of the Pacific Northwtst and there has resulted a most stimulating ef fect on general business, dispelling to a great extent the gloom of the past few months. The situation locally has not changed, as there is no opportunity to export wheat at present levels and current demand is pretty well taken care of at this time. There has been a greater tendency to sell by the interior this week and as this continues there will be more activ ity and a general unlimbering of credit and money.

Of course it protects you from financial loss in case of fire. But it does so much more that it ranks as one of the most effective dollars you spend. Merely as indemnity, Stock Fire Insurance is one of the cheapest neces sities. Its average rate has consistently declined for more than 20 years, until in 1930 it reached the lowest figure in all American fire insurance history. STOCK FIRE INSURANCE teaches better building practices furnishes a service for the suppression of arson, another for the improvement of community fire defenses and conducts many general fire prevention activities, all of which have contributed to the reduction of fire waste and the loss oflifebyfire.
