61HE red oak trees of 18th street
ii where that street passes through
the Mall and divides the grounds
of the Smithsonian Institution from the
grounds of the Department of Agricul-
ture, constitute one of the arboreal
features of Washington. They are much
admired by all persons traversing that
street and having an appreciation OF
trees, but this pleasure is not enjoyed
by the greater part of the people of
Washington because 18th street is
paved with granite blocks and most
persons passing north and south have
the habit of moving over other streets.
They usually follow the routes of the
car lines or the pleasant ways that lead
through the Smithsonian and Agricul-
tural grounds.
Standing at the intersection of 18th
and B streets south, where Virginia
avenue cuts aslant from southeast to
northwest. a man by looking north
along 18th street will see one of the
fine tree arcades of the capital. The
trees are not old, but they have size
enough to be considered as mature.
Their trunks are so dark that in the
deep shadow of the foliage they often
appear as black, and the crowns Of the
trees-the crown of a tree being that
part composed of boughs and leaves
are full and generally as symmetrical
as oak trees usually are. The color of
the leaves is a dark and hardy green,
and these trees remind one that in
speaking of oaks a man is prone to
preface or to qualify the noun oak"
with the adjective sturdy" and that
adjective seems to be peculiarly ap-
propriate to the description of these
trees.

maine POULTRY
SHOW WILL OPEN
ON NEXT TUESDAY

Portland, Me-, Dec. 11.-Tuesday the
Maine Poultry Show will open at the
Portland Exposition building on Park
avenue and the large number of en-
tries received give promise of its be-
ing the biggest and best show that the
Maine State Poultry Association and
the Maine Pet Stock Association,
which exhibits with it, have ever held.
The usual large list of prizes is Of
fered, and as in former years this has
stimulated widespread interest. The
entries closed Wednesday night and
since then the officers of the associa-
ton have been making up the list of
contestants and the assignment of
places for exhibits.
The exhibits of poultry will include
all varieties of fowl, turkeys, ducks,
geese and bantams, while in the pet
stock class there will be shown pig
cons and cats. The Exposition Build
ing is finely adapted to the showing
of products, and 1t naturally lends
itself to the favorable display of poul-
try as exhibited in pens by the Maine
State Show. Last years show
demonstrated this, and the officers
arc greatly pleased with the building
for exposition purposes.
Business men of Portland and 9TH
ers have responded generously in Of
fering prizes for the show and the
prizes offered by them and by the as
sociation amount to several hundred
dollars. The show will open Tuesday
and continue through Friday. The Of
flcers of the association are George p.

POTATO NOTES

Portland Express, Dec. s-The prices
for potatoes in local markets are weak
er and it is expected that there NAV be
falling off from the present prices.
At wholesale prices are quoted at from
Sl.6o to $1.75 per bushel. Trading Is
not active and for that reason a reac-
ton downward is expected. Many of
the potato growers and buyers have
been holding off for extreme prices and
that held the prices well up. Additional
supplies have been coming in from Can
ada and this has relieved the situation
to a notable degree. Some of the deal
ers believe that the present lower prices
are only temporary and that by the first
OF the year prices will again advance.
Many large consumers are already buy
ing for future needs.
Fort Fairfield, Dec. 8-The Fort Fair
neld potato markets are about in the
same condition as in the past few
weeks, with practically no potatoes be-
ing brought in by the farmers. The
prices are $3.50 and $3.50 for the best
varieties. Buyers do not seem very
anxious to buy and the potato dealing
Is somewhat at a standstill. The re-
moving OF the quarantine on Canadian
potatoes has caused some apprehension
among the buyers and farmers.
Caribou Republican, Dec. 6-Potatoes
are being hauled to market very slowly.
partly on account of the roads, and
partly on account of the price. While
the drop in price has caused some Of
the smaller farmers to unload their en-
tire stock, many of the larger farmers
are not selling any, feeling confident
that the higher figures will prevail af-
ter the Canadian stock is exhausted
Montreal Star. Nov. 20-There are in
the neighborhood Of 300 cars filled with
potatoes blocking the terminals of the
various railroad sidings in Montreal to-
day. The majority of these cars have
been standing with sealed doors for a
period from one week to IS days, and
the consignees have been letting them
freeze and are paying demurrage fees
daily rather than unpack them and put
them on the market. To do so would
mean drop in price. The quantity held
up is said to be almost ten weeks sup
ply for the whole population of Mont
real. Each car averages 20 tons. That
means there are 5000 tons in all, 49,
100000 pounds or over 1916, 900 bags Of
~ pounds each.
1t is said that Harold Haskell Of Gar
land has been well repaid for his labor
in raising 1855 bushels of potatoes on
five acres of land. He used no CONNER
cial fertilizer and attributes his success
to faithful and frequent spraying.
Fort Fairfield. Dec. 9.-The farmers
have stopped hauling potatoes to mar
ket. on account of the condition of the
roads and it Is expected that practically
no activity in the Fort Fairfield potato
markets will be apparent until after the
Christmas holidays. The price of pota-
toes at the last quotations was around
$3.50. The general quiet in the potato
markets has had practically no erect
on the other industries of the town.
Merchants report most prosperous
times.

It's Easy-H You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toaing up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.
