The history Of these huge trees. which some

to q time 800 years ago when the iIlustrious

The body of the great leader was buried in the
Nikho Hills and requests were sent out that all
who could should honor the grave with q stone
or lantern. It is said that laSoorer too poor

row Of trees, not only to stand guard over the
grave, but provide shade for those who came
to pay tribute.
since that time the trees have been known
aS the Japanese temple or Cryptomeria cedar.

velopment concern takes over the cash
and monthly payments made to the
bank, as trustee, by the buyers.
This plan, worked out in conference
with experts in mortgage banking bust
the former plan employed by the COM
pany. The firm guarantees 100 per cent
sale Of the units Of the building. on
which maintenance and operation
schedules are based.
Thus, If any units in the building are
not sold to apartment buyers, the War
rem company retains ownership OF the
apartments and makes the correspond
ing pro rata payments on the unit or
units as would be assessed against rur-
chaSers.
Under the additional item in the plan
the development concern actually takes
possession Of no money paid by pur-
chasers until and when enough apart
ment units are sold to guarantee its
successful operation.
Should the firm fail to sell SUFFICIENT
number Of the apartment units to pur-
chasers, any and all money paid by
purchasers to the bank, as trustee. will
be returned to the buyer, with the eX-
ception Of only such an amount as
would equal rent for the occupancy OF
the apartment for the time occupied by
the buyer. The amount Of the rental
charges In such case Is stated in the
purchase contract.
This plan was set up for use In re-
spUct to the fifth building of the Tilden
Gardens development, Connecticut ave-
nue. and Tilden street, now being COM
pleted.
A feature Of the plan Of placing pur-
chase money and monthly payments in
bank as trustee pending the sale OF
so per cent or more of the stock OF a
new building is that the bank certifies
as to the contracts, the mortgages out
standing against the apartment build
ing and other financial phases OF the
contract and reports that the title has
been searched and found to be clear.

REAL ESTATE GROUP
TO STUDY FACTORIES
Topics Outlined for Autumn Con-
vention of Industrial Property
Division at st. Louis.

F.. Must the industrial building be suit
able for one type Of manufacturing
only, or is it possible to standardize in
dustrial buildings and give them a
wider range of usefulness than they
have heretofore had? Can every COM
munity afford to court industry and
secure the location of a large plant in
its midst? When should the indus
trialist turn to the realtor for help in
solving his most dificult problem, that
Of location for his factories and what
specific services can he expect from the
man who SpecializeS in industrial prop
erty?
These are some Of the subjects which
will be discussed at the second annual
property division of the National Asso-
citation OF Real Estate Boards to be held
in st. Louis, Mo-, at the Jefferson Hotel,
November 10, 10 and 20. These ses-
sions will follow closely upon the regu-
lar quarterly meeting Of the aSsocia-
tons executive committee and board of
directors, which takes place in Chicago
November IL, IS and IA.
Segregation of industrial concerns in
a subdivision laid out and planned
solely for the location Of manufacturing
plants, just as the residential subdivi-
sion restricts itself to homes, will be
treated at the opening sessions of the
Industrial Realtors meeting. Making
such industrial subdivisions profitable,
both from the standpoint Of land and
buildings, will be discussed by special
lists who have had extensive experience
in this phase Of real estate.

Life Expectancy Greater Than Any

than that of any kind of structure,
according to the report Of an investiga-

The investigation brought to light the
fact that Office buildings, theaters and

WHEAT Is HIGHER
IN EARLY DEALINGS
Market Irregular at Beginning,
but Later Scores
Advance.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 26.--After an ir-
regular start in which new low-record
prices for the season were touched.
wheat today scored something of an ad-
vance. Passage of the farm-relief bill
In the House was construed as mod
erately bullish, opening at 13s OF to "A
up. Wheat later rose all around to
above yesterdays finish. Corn and oats
developed firmness likewise, with corn
starting "a off to 81 up, and subsequent
ly showing general gains.
Commission house buying gave brisk
upturns to wheat values at times today,
Notwithstanding that at first the selling
side Of the market derived an advantage
from early lower quotations at Liverpool.
Further liquidating sales on the part Of
holders of the Chicago May delivery
counted also temporarily as a bearish
influence. On the other hand, buying
orders from commission houses ap-
peared to result chiefly from evidence
of rapid progress OF farm legislation in
Congress.
Unexpected late advances in wheat
quotations at Liverpool did good deal
also to stimulate buying here. The close
today at Liverpool for wheat future de-
liveries showed net gains of 4 to a
pence a bushel, in the face Of predic-
tons Of big tenders of Argentine wheat
there next week. One of the reasons
given for improvement Of commission
house buying today In Chicago was that
on account OF drastic declines, which
had taken place, the changes of any
big profit for the present from specu-
lative short selling had been greatly
curtailed.
