Is, 100000 Trees Planted
In WasMngton's Honor

Fifteen million trees have already
been planted in the United States in
memory Of the 200th anniversary of
the birth Of George Washington, re-
ports the American Tree association
to Regional Forester G. J. Buck, Port
land
These trees have all been registered
with the American Tree association
and placed on the honor roll as George
Washington Memorial trees, in a ma
tion-wide movement to honor the first
president, who was both a lover and
planter Of trees. A very large num-
Der Of public agencies, patriotic So
cieties and associations are joining this
year in this memorial tree planting
movement. Among these are the D.
A. r., S. A. r., Rotary, Kiwanis clubs,
Lions, Elks, Masons chambers of COM
merce, All forestry clubs, DeMolays,
Boy and Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls,
and Girl Reserves. The American Lee
gion is proposing to create memorial
and town forests dedicated to the first
ommander-i in chief.
Many organizations In Oregon and
Washington are planning to plant
Washington trees this winter and
spring, the u. s. Forest service has
been informed. These Washington
memorial trees are being planted on
school grounds, along highways and
city streets, in city and state parks, on
denuded forest lands and in town and
county forests.
East of the Cascades, tree planting
will have to be deferred until April or
May.
Simple directions on how to plant
young forest trees or seedlings and
list of agencies in Oregon and Wash
ington from whom forest tree seedlings
of different kinds may be secured, can
be had by writing to the regional
forester, Portland, Oregon.
Trees of larger size suitable princi-
pally for ornamental and roadside use
rather than for forest planting can
be secured from most commercial nur-
series. No requests nor orders for tree
seedlings can be handled nor can prices
be furnished by the U. S. forest SER
vice. Correspondence should be dir
ectly with the particular agency. A
l6-page tree planting booklet giving
detailed directions on how to plant
young forest trees and kinds suitable
for different localities may be secured

Radical New Kind
of Antiseptic for
Feminine Hygiene
Safer-and More Certain

Just think what it must mean to
the fastidious, careful woman to
have at hand an antiseptic more
powerful than any she has used be-
fore (and therefore more SURE
in its effect) and at the same time
one that is absolutely safe for any
delicate tissue anywhere in her
body.
Kojene, much more effective than
the deadly bichloride or carbolic
acids so safe and dependable that
you can actually drink it. Many
people do-night and morning-to
protect against fetid breath from
food poisoning in the stomach.
Their physicians tell them to!
For your health's sake, insist on
this marvelously efficient new kind
of antiseptic. You can get Kojene
at Shirer Drug Co., or any other
first-class drug store. adv

In the Cotton Markets
(Bv Thomson a. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, March 24.--The cot
ton market ranged 3 to points
higher this morning, with volume
much diminished from Wednesday.
The advance was less than the ex-
cellent cables from abroad would
have justified.
Local traders seemed to expect
further liquidation from abroad.
The weather in the south was cold,
but clear. Textile business shows
little change.
It is probably to the best advan-
tage of the south that no advance
should occur in cotton until after
the crop is planted, as the less the
acreage the easier it will be to han
die the crop.
While we await developments we
think the policy of buying on de-
clines the best policy.
