NEW YORK. Dec 10. Waves
of short selling and profit taking
swept over today's stock market,

pearance ,mpst.'of. the day, but they
failed Jto' halt 'bullish demonstra

the day's T selling ,1s , believed : to
have been .inspired by the belief
that tho technical position of the

TE PMC
Agricultural College Man
Tells Chamber of Com
merce His Opinions
That uniform tree planting is
one of the surest means ef attract
ing people seeking a, location: for
a home and can be accomplished
only through cooperation by prop
erty owners was the opinion ex
pressed by Prof "Arthur rLv Peck,
landscape specialist ; of OAC, who
spoke to , the members of the
Chamber; of Commerce at the
weekly luncheon Monday. As only
six or v seven trees are adaptable
to the purpose; great care, in their
selection was urged. "
''During the morning Professor
Peck made a brief; survey of the
jcity and reported upon" his find
ings at the luncheon. He recom
mended certain species of trees for
certain districts.
' South Commercial is one of the
main, thoroughfares, he said.
Parkings are narrow ; and there
has been but little general plant
ing,,, few rosebushes and an oc
casional tree comprising the great
er portion. 'About. 9 5 per cent -of
the territory remains. f.The Eng
lish hawthorne was recommend
ed, as this tree grows to a heighth
of but 25 feet. Under no, circum
stances should trees or shrubbery
be . planted at the Intersection of
streets, he .declared. ..
4South Liberty, slated to be an
important thoroughfare in the fu
ture, lends itself to the mountain
laurel, a ; wonderful . tree and su
perior to the : southern mangolia.
For Summer the oriental sycamore
was' urged, vwhHe any of tthe fol
lowing were recommended for the
standard' streets:; European linden,
Norway .. maple or ; Oriental syca
more. -In order to preserve the
woody appearance ' of; the Fair
mount district scarlet Oakland
native dogwood-were urged. A i
' Shrubbery In thte parking spaces
along! Marlon will pove dlsap
pointing, -Professor Peck said.
On llhe of trees,' would produce
an excellent effect." Any of the
trees i suggested by:" the speaker
are free from pests and are known
to stand the test. ' ' - , ;
"The north west, is still in a pio
neer stage," Professor. Peck said.
City .planning trails ' for many
things,-such-as engineeTjng, sani
tation and architecture, i Some' of
this is beyond us at this time, but
we must build -for the future and
give proper recognition: tov'all
Man measures his home and seeks
to make it attractive by improv
ing the grounds. Parking space
between the sidewalk and the: curb
belongs to the home unit, and to
get the best results .must.be uni
form, taking an entire block into
consideration Instead j of the In
dividual property.; : ,
: f Assuming that street planting
is, desired, this: must be simple yet
dignified. Rose planting for orn
amentation will pass as it Is too
f Ussy. .Old ; cities f in ' Europe have
employed uniform planting , for
centuries, as-nave "many "of the
planting the choice naturally falls
to the k thing most ' easily grown
and .maintained, and we come to
the tree, each of which possesses
its own characteristics. Like men,7
trees are individual, and we must
pick the proper' tree for the right
place.;, v ' ' ..
"Trees are selected to serve
and function. " They must; make
the individual property more at
tractive and desirable, .which will
also Increase Its valuation. For
a given investment " there 'is no
greater return , to , the 5 property
owner than tree planting if . this
is followed with care and contin
ued along a definite program,'''
, Trees will cost the property
owner about $2 each, with 25
cents for a supporting stake and
about 75 cents additional for
planting, Professor Peck saldv Bos
ton has through its courts, recog
nized the value of trees, and has
placed a valuation of $300 each
upon its larger trees. In Pennsyl
vania the state legislature has
passed laws levying the cost of the
trees against property, the same
as other street Improvements and
assessments. ' The west will come"
to this in the future; Professor
Peck continued, though it is not
ready for it at this time. 'Cities
which take advantage of the move
ment and pioneer it will be 25
years in advance of those who
neglect it, he said.
By uniform planting on Jeffer
son street, in Corvallis. property
values were increased 20 per cent.
J That city has an . ordinance pro
viding that a group or neignnors
along one street may petition the
Hty council to .call, a j meeting of
the property owners and' agree up
on the kind of tree that Is to, be
planted.
Each is given a vote in
proportion Jto. thial frontage of1" the
property;' After the tree is selecf
ed.no others can be planted and
the city engineer makes a survey.
Interference with: this plan con
stitutes j an, offense, with a -fine
for violation. t ,
Attention , of- prune week was.
called by.W. I. Staley, who urged
everyone to boost prunes during
the week. -' Packers are specializ

meeting.

increase of the United States vis
ible supply total was more or less
responsible for profit . taking
which ensued and; which 'ledVto
the final reaction.
Corn reflected the changes in
wheat. Bulls were encouraged by
the fact that receipts here were
less than had been expected. Oats
lacked support.
Provisions reflected the other
weakness of hog values and a

" At first; the wheat market show
ed an outward tendency with little
apparent disposition to buy except
on setbacks in price. Knowledge
that lake navigation was closing
and that stocks of, wheat here
were likely to -remain all winter
had a good ileal to do with making
purchasers cautious. On the oth
er hand, gossip was current that
some method would be devised in
Washington to stabilize wheat val
ues and, bulls were, quick to take
advantage of an estimate by Sec
retary Wallace that domestic farm
feeding of wheat amounted to 90,
000,000 bushels, an .'aggregate
much larger than the majority of
traders had supposed. ;

DRUGS EXCITE
THE KIDNEYS.
DRIK
WATER
Take Salts at First Sign of Blad-1
der Irritation or Backache
The American men and women
must guard constantly against
kidney trouble because we often
eat too much rich food. Our blood
is filled with acids which the kid
neys strive to filter out; they
weaken from overwork, become
sluggish, the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a
general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like
lumps of lead; your back hurts or
the urine is cloudy, full of sedi
ment, or you are obliged to seek
relief two -or three times -during
the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, "or dizzy, nervous spells,;
acid stomach, or if you.have rheu
matism when the weather, is bad,
begin drinking lots of : good I soft
water and get from . your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablcspoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may
then act fine. v
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and ha i been
used-for years to help flush and
etimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in the system
so Ihey no longer are a source of
irritation, thU3 often relieving
bladder disorders.
