SALES CONTINUE
Wheat Board Will Not Take
Advantage of Drought
Threatened Shortage.
special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, July 9-Canada's s
national wheat board, currently pos
SCISSOR of 130,000,oo0 bushels Of that
grain, is selling and will continue to
sell, it is learned here. 1t will not
take advantage of drought-threat-
ened wheat famine by withdrawing
from the market and helping along
the skyrocketing Of prices.
In its attitude the wheat board is
backed by the federal government.
While official records show that the
board disposed of some 100000
bushels last week, 1t is definitely
known that more than four times that
amount was sold.
Whereas a month ago it was antici-
pated that the board would have ap-
proximately 125,000,000 bushels on
hand at the close of the crop year,
July 81, it was yesterday forecast that
the total will be under 10000, ,0UU
bushels and perhaps considerably less
If the present drought-inspired mar
ket continues to stimulate demands.
Had SO0,000,0OO Bushels.
When J. r. Murray took command
OF the national wheat board from
John I. Mcfarland last December, he
had 300,000000' bushels of wheat to
unload. 1t was Murray who, counter
to McFarland's policy of holding
initiated that of selling.
With temperatures far above normal
and precipitation almost lacking, eX-
cept in Northern Alberta. the decline
in crop prospects in Western Canada
continued without interruption during
the past week, according to the Cana
dian governments telegraphic crop
report.
Severe drought conditions extend
westward over a wide area from
Southeastern Manitoba to the south
ern foothills of Alberta, having the
greatest width in Western Saskatche-
wan. Virtually all of Manitoba Is in
| cluded in this drought area, excepting
parts of the Red River Valley and
extreme northern districts. While the
Northeastern and East-Central areas
of Saskatchewan have fair prospects
as yet, the remainder Of the provinces
show steady decline.
Conditions Vary.
A large Southern and East Central
area Of Alberta is drought stricken
but further North and in West Central
Alberta. heavier June rains were re-
ceived and the crops are holding up
we'll under the hot weather.
Grasshoppers constitute a real men,
ace in Saskatchewan and South-Cen
tral Alberta, especially if the hot, dry
weather persists. Stem rust Is de-
veloping and the area of infection has
extended into Southeastern Saskatche-
wan, where trace was found July 3
In the Southern Red River Valley
of Manitoba a trace occurs on ap-
proximately 20 per cent of the stems
and the infection lessons to the
North and West. Hail damage of the
week was confined to extensive losses
in Central Alberta

EN the ASSocla ted Press.
NEW YORK, July 9.-Repercus-
SionS of the advance in raw cotton
were seen in textile quarters today in
sharp mark-up of prices on certain
finished fabrics and in the action Of
many mills in withdrawing prices on
unfinished goods.
Marshall Field & Co. of Chicago,
leading textile merchandiser, an
nounced 219 per cent advance in
cotton and part-wool blankets, effec-
tive Immediately.
The company explained that de-
mand for these products had been
good and that further price boosts
may be expected.
Mill agents in Worth street, textile
selling center, reported withdrawal of
price lists was due to the sharp uplift
in quotations of the raw fiber above
13 cents pound for spot, the highest
since September, 1884.
Manufacturers, it was said. we're
unprepared for the squirt and some
predicted a general upward revision
in cloth prices.
Cloth business picked up six weeks
ago following comparative inactivity
during the Winter and early Spring.
Mill executives said that although
cloth prices are considerably above the
Spring lows, many manufacturers had
not benefited except in small way
because of premiums on desirable
grades of cotton.

"How clev-aire you are. Ar

"This Luana is not really pretty.
She has q flat bosom. She has no

Yvonne would beam at that.
Armand was q true artist. Yvonne
was crazy about him. When an
ardent girl Of her type loves, she
can be ruthless in the chase, and
woe betide anyone who comes be-
tween her and her sweetheart!
The friendship between Luana
and Jimmy Randolph flourished
apace.
There was no hint Of love-mak-
ing. Memory Of Gerald Bruton was
still strong, though Luana realized
perfectly that she had never really
loved the man who had gone
through q meaningless marriage
ceremony with her in Yuma, Ar.
IONA. She shuddered when she
thought Of it's sequel in San Diego,
when Gerald had been arrested.
Her enc fear now was that the
successful, much-talked-of young
model, Luana Waters, might be
linked any day in the newspapers
with the erStwhile Elizabeth Har-
mon!
Mr.. Quackenbush insisted on
publicity, and the more the better,
from the point Of view Of his bust
ness.
At the spring meet Of the
United Hunts Association on Long

graphed. During an al freSco

Field Club at the same place, the
press photographers were busy
with their cameras, and Luana
had as much attention in her
smart racing clothes as the best
known society woman.
It was impossible to hide her
face. Suppose someone from Los
Angeles or San Diego would rec
ognize her?
But after a time she grew &C
customed to the risk. The only
course possible-if she were asked
point blank-would be to fatty
deny the connection.

straightforward point of view,
charmed her and yet made her
afraid.

How much that friendship
meant to her she did not yet fully

But the knowledge that at the

Jimmy. that he was accompany
ing her to some function, was like
q little song in her heart.

BEGIN HERE TODAY

Linda Bourne, 20 years old,
pretty, is left almost penniless by
the sudden death of her father.
Peter Gardiner, newspaper re.
porter, helps her get job writing
society news. Linda is in love
with Dix Carter, but he goes
abroad to study singing. When
Peter asks Linda to marry him
she agrees, but postpones the we'd
ding.
Honey Harmon, film star, comes
to Newton, making a personal
appearance" tour. She buys a
scensrio written by Linda. Later
Linda goes to Hollywood and, by
expressing ideas that are really
Peters, acquires a reputation for
being able to discover new stars.
Soon she is a celebrity.
AT party given by Honey
Harmon, Linda meets Basil
Thornc, director. Attracted by
him al first, she later avoids him.
Dix Carter comes to Hollywood
10 get into films as an actor.
Linda tries to help him. To please
Dix, she overlooks her disliking
for Basil Thorne, invites him to
her home.
Peter Gardiner writes a play
that is a Broadway success. Later
he comes to Hollywood.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVIII
The things Linda couldn't think
Of to say to Pete Gardiner she re-
mcmbered when she was dressing
for Dix that night, Brushing her
hair with swift, angry strokes, she
finished Pete forever and found
her eyes sparkling and her cheeks
flushed. Dressed in scarlet satin
Eajamas, she marched up and
down the small area of her living
room, darting quick chances at the
clock until she laughed in pure
amusement. She had been going
to vent her anger on Dix.
Dix had always the power to
change her mood. She couldn't be
sad or angry when she was with
him. She couldn't be independent
or herself. 1t was disquieting to
think she couldn't be herself, that
she was always playing being gay,
happy, helpful. Thinking again of
Pctc's words, her anger rose in
Dix's defense. 1t wasn't because
Dix was weak. 1t was only that
Dix was someone to live up to.
She felt the strain of the situation
strain that is almost unavoid-
axle when courtship is delicatcly
balanced on the wires Of two ca
rCerS.
Courtship was an old-fashioned
idea, Linda thought, and wondered
what new word there was for it.
Courtship was a lovely word for
ncvcr-to-be-repeated days before
marriage. Pete had given her a
sort of courtship, but she hadn't
loved Pete, and it took the tender
contemplation of love to make it
precious.
Waiting for Dix. Linda found
herself thinking of marriage. That
she was going to marry Dix, she
did not doubt. He had once asked
her to wait for him. Waiting for
what? Then he had come back
and told her that he loved her.
When a man loved a woman he
