Firmer Tendency
In Active Day
New York. Oct. 21 (U.R) The stock
market developed a firmer tendency
today In volume double that of
week ago. Bonds were firm with
U. S. Issues and foreign loans high'
er. Commodities were steady to firm
Improvement in the share market
hinged on the German statement
denying further peace moves; re
ceipts of the first big foreign war
order 2,000 trucks valued at $3,500,'
000; and further business improve
ment. Truck stocks stood out from the
start, many rising to new highs on
word that the French had placed the
2,000-truck order. Studebaker open
ed 12,00 shares at 9V and then rose
to a new high at 9 up ?4.
Motors, motor equipments, and
rubbers made fractional gains. Chry
sler was sustained by announcement
conferences would be resumed Mon
day between company officials and
the union.
Steel shares were aided by indica
Hons the country's steelmaking op-
eratlons would mount to a new re
cord high next week.
Commonwealth & Southern was
active in the utilities. Aviations re
sumed their rise under the leader
ship of Douglas which gained
point. Curtlss-Wrlght equalled its
high. Other war issues were firm, in.
eluding the coppers and rail equip-
menus. Small advances were noted in
the leading rails.
Dow Jones closing stock averages
Industrial, 153.86, up 0.86; rail,
34.78 up 0.20; Utility, 26.05, up 0.16.
Stock sales approximated 540,000
shares against 250,000 in the short
session last week. Curb stock sales
were 86,000 shares against 59,000
last Saturday.
Air Fleets Held
Better Than
Ships
Newark, N. J., Oct. 21 (!') A group
of 250 "determined aviators of any
nation could blow the best fleet ever
built right out of the ocean," say
Lieut. Richard Aid worth, supcrln
tendent of Newark airport and the
only filer credited with dropping a
bomb down a warship's funnel.
"I think if any nation was pre
pared to take the losses and used
heavy enough bombs tiiey could
cripple, if not destroy, a fleet even
as powerful as England," he said
yesterday in an interview. "And
I'm sure, any nation that wanted to
take a crack at It could get the men
to do it."
Aldworth flew for the United
States durln gthe World war and
was active in aviation after it.
A destroyer "went down Ilka
rock" lie said when he dropped a 25
pound bomb from his pursuit ship
off the Virginia Capes during ma
neuvers In 1921. The bomb plum
meted down the fnnel of the destroy
er when army bombers also sank a
lormer German battleship, a cruis
er and two submarines.

Plan to Cut
Short Debate
On Neutrality
Washington, Oct. 21 (Pi In
face of outspoken opposition
administration leadership in
senate undertook today to cut short
debate on tile neutrality bill and
speed the measure toward a final
vote.
Majority Leader Barkley
nounced that before the third week
of general discussion ended with to
day's adjournment, he would ask
lor a debate limitation to be made
effective Monday, when considera
tlon of amendments is expected to
begin.
"An overwhelming majority of
the senate," Barkiey told his col
leagues, "feels tnat the time has
come when an effort should be
made to bring this matter to a
conclusion."
Senator Nye R N. D.), and
Johnson (R., Calif.), both express
ed disfavor of Imposing a limita
tion, however, and an effort to ob
tain unanimous consent to that
end could, of course, be blocked by
only one objection.
Johnson said that "there has been
no effort" to delay the bill.
We are getting toward the end
now," he said, "and I don't see any
reason to clamp on a debate limi
tation."
Some administration leaders had
considered an arrangement where
by each senator would be limited to
one speech of an hour on the bill and
one speech of 30 minutes on any
amendment.
"I certainly will not agree to
that," said Nye.
Senator Andiews (D., Fla.). led
off the day's discussion with the
argument that failure of congress
to repeal the embargo, as the ad
ministration bill provides, might
result In defeat of France and Bri
tain and leave the American na-
tloas "to face the nazl-soviet bloc
on this side of the Atlantic."

Commercial Holly
Growing Profitable
Silverton Two fine commercial holly orchards have
been planted west of town on the new Salem-Silverlon high
way. A six-acre tract has been
site or the old pheasant farm, while
Dr. Smith, who recently purchased
the Underdahl place, also is devot
ing a considerable portion of his
newly-acquired land to holly.
The growing of holly for commer
cial purposes Is an industry little
utilized in this country. England
has, for hundreds of years, grown
holly in vast quantities for the holi
day season. The demand here is so
vast It can scarcely be realized.
Many factors enter to complicate
this novel and profitable industry,
according to Benson. In the- first
place there are about 300 species
of holly and while many of them
make beautiful ornamental trees,
there are but very few who lend
themselves nicely to a "commercial
trim."
Another difficulty has been the
impossibility of interested growers to

In Oregon, ranges continued to
decline last month; rainfall was far

been removed from high ranges and
cattle and sheep shipments have

In Washington, after an unseas

areas with ample feed.
Nationally, the agriculture depart

be in states east of the Missouri,
with the numbers fed in western
states much below last year. Statis

retire Bear Trapped
Mill City A large bear was
caught in a trap by E. F. Groblebe
this week on the place of John Sta
mos. When Stamos had entered
his barn in the morning for the
purpose of feeding his stork, the
animal was seen to Jump down from
th barn's loIL i
planted by Carl Benson on the
obtain trees that are ail alike. A
tree with medium-sized deep green
leaves and medium berry formations
is ideal and when such a combina
tion is found, grab it up, said Mr
Benson.
Benson has been interested in hol
ly culture for a great many years
and the difficulties mentioned are
the only reasons he has not plant
ed Kooner. A couple of years ago
he discovered a small nursery ex
perimenting with Bisex holly. This
Is a self-pollinating variety with a
purplish-blue stem. The plant has
every qualification desired for the
best commercial planting for each
and every tree Js exactly like all
others of the same variety.
Producing holly trees for com
mercial orchards is a slow and ex
acting process. The slips are taken
at the proper time and placed in
an elect rically heated hot bed. Exact
temperature and moisture is main
tained about ten months at which
time about 30 per cent of the slips
have rooted and are then moved
into a hothouse where they are
kept for several months prior to set
ting outside in nursery beds. Trees
baled and ready for planting have
been transplanted many times a
factor which creates splendid root
systems.
The Bisex holly tree is a cross be
tween the French and English
varieties. The parent tree was
brought over from France in the
late 70's and is growing in the Se
attle district.
While there Is a widespread In
terest in holly culture one should
remember that It is not get-rich-quick
enterprise, for it takes several
years before the trees enter com
mercial production. Also growers
should investigate before planting,
since very few varieties offered are
suited for clipping.

last two years American wool man
ufacturers have taken the lead tn
producing fine woolen materials.
Here in Linn county, the wool cen
ter of the Willamette valley, every
woman and girl with a clever
needle and a piece of all wool ma
terial may compete for prize
money."
Present plans contemplate for all

Sales Volume
New York, Oct. 21 P) Consumer
buying during the past week, from
the point of view of sales volume,
was the best merchants have had In
over two years except for the weeks
preceding Christmas, Dun & Brad
street said in its weekly review of
retail trade.
"The improvement in total sales
volume this week was estimated at
9 to 15 percent over a year ago,"
the survey said.
"Selling prices were approximately
2 percent higher, and expenditures
for promotions, as measured by
newspaper advertising lineage, was
about 5 percent larger
"On a regional basis the broad
est expansion in buying occurred in
the southwest, followed closely by
the middle west and east.
"Clothing stores in Industrial sec
tions reported increases of as much
as 30 percent; demand for topcoats,
the heaviest in several years, was
said to be particularly gratifying in
view of the slow season a year ago.
"Merchants noted the better feel
ing among customers was already
reflected in an expansion in credit
sales in both 'hard' and 'soft goods."
The agency said lower tempera
tures throughout the country and
the general Improvement In buying
power were main factors for the
improvement.
