SECRET VALUES
L
PORTLAND, March a (AP) While
"open" prices on eggs, wholessle nd
retail, were not changed for the day
here, there mi free discussion In
the trsde today that semi-secret
values were from 1 to a cents lower
to unchanged, depending upon the
customer, the volume and who was
wiling. The trade was further con
fused by addition of many new
grsdes" end there were so many
varieties of "extras" on the market
that trading was uncertain at best.
Trading In the butter market was
about steady here, with no changes
on the open trade In cubes or prints
for the day. Butterfat values were
also unchanged.
General strength was continued all
through the market for live chickens
locally with an acute shortsge In
practically all departments. Young
tuff was especially scarce st the mo.
ment.
With the Imposition of the new
tax, there was more or less weakness
underlying the market for country
killed hogs here with general top
price around 8$0c lb.
There continued an extreme scarcity
of lambs and old mutton snd no ad
ditional supplies of spring lambs hsve
been offered since the first bunch
came. Veal trade was steady around
914 is-10c for tops.
Ten carloads of Oregon parsnips
were rolling east on sccount of the
huge demand, while New York was
taking Oregon sauerkraut Instead of
cabbage at the moment. The price
on kraut has been advanced to $11
barrel.

PORTLAND, March 3. (p) Hullng
that It does not sppear that the plaln
tlffa had been deprived of their con
stitutional rights, Federal Judge John
H. McNary Thursday dented a motion
for a temporary restraining order set
ting aside the 1933 Oregon grazing
lsw.
Residents of Idaho had filed action
to authorize them to graze their sheep
In the Jordsn valley dlatrlct of east
ern Oregon. They contended the Ore
gon law forbidding them access to
these sanges was unconstitutional. .
Judge MoNary, explaining that the
facts must ultimately be decided by
a statutory court of three Judges,
stated that "It appears to this court
that the legislature of the state of
Oregon acted within the domain of
its police power In passing the graz
ing act. and the provisions adopted
for lta enforcement were necessary to
the accomplishment of ItB purpose,
and that plaintiffs have not been de
prived of their constitutional rights."
The action was brought by Vin
cent Mendlola, John Mendlola and
John Archbal. .' '

This picture tells better than words
the merit of your Lucky Strike.
Luckies use only the center leaves.
Not the top leaves, because those
re under-developed not ripe.
Not the bottom leaves, because
those are inferior in quality they
grow cloee to the ground and are
tough, coarse and always sandy.
The center leaves are the mildest
leaves, the finest in quality. These
center leaves are cut into Iong,even
strands and are fully packed into each
and every Lucky givingyou a ciga
rette that is always round, firm,
completely filled no loose ends. Is
it any wonder that Luckies are so
truly mild and smooth? And in
addition.you know, "It's toasted"
for throat protection, for finer taste.
