SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1924 STOCKS PRESSED FOR SALE TODAY NEW YORK, Nov. 15. Stocks were pressed for sale in the early trading today in the second wave of profit taking which has passed over the market this week and prices of many of the active industrials and railroad stocks showed signs of wavering. The selling was mostly in the stocks which have been pushing forward briskly in the last few days, the oils, copper, industrials suffering slight losses. At the same time and as the result of "switching" from one group of stocks to others, new forward movements were going on in the sugar stocks, the shipping and textile stocks and in some of the motors. Marina, pfd., and American International Corp. carried their rallies a little higher. Great Western Sugar gained two points at 92½%; American Woolen climbed a point; Atchison added a point at 112 and N. Y. C. was in demand around the new high level established this week. Vastly improved sentiment in business and better buying of commodities was reported by Dunns and Bradstreets agencies in their weekend reviews, commodity prices were steady; gasoline was up one cent a gallon in local territory. Continuation of a large buying demand made conditions favorable for profit taking for traders who participated at considerably lower prices. A decline of five points in Cast iron Pipe and heaviness in American Can and other high priced Industrials was attributed to reports that the shorts had made satisfactory settlements and that danger of a "squeeze" had thus been eliminated for the time being. American Waterworks was an exception, moving up four points to 119. Sinclair and Marland Oil stocks declined under heavy selling and the oil stocks, as a group, showed LA HABRA LA HABRA, Nov. 15.

Shipkey & Pea DISTRIBUTOR ANAHEIM PAN-AM OILS Uncle Wiggily's Story Jack Frost, that queer little North Pole fairy, who comes to us in the winter, danced around on his toes one evening. But not to keep warm—Jack Frost never likes to be warm. He danced because he was up to some mischief. "I'm going to freeze the spring over near Uncle Wiggly's hollow stump bungalow!" laughed Jack Frost to himself. "And when the rabbit wants to drink, and puts his pink, twinkling nose down in the spring, the cake of ice that I shall put over the water will make Uncle Wiggly's nose so cold that he will cry: 'Wowchie owechie'. Yes, I shall freeze his spring of water." So Jack Frost danced on his tiptoes over to where the spring bubbled out of the rocks behind the bunny gentleman's bungalow. The little gnome blew his cold breath over the water. It ceased to bubble and became cold and stiff—a cake of ice covered the spring. "Ha Ha!" laughed Jack Frost. "Won't Uncle Wiggly be surprised!" But the rabbit gentleman wasn't the first one surprised. For early next morning, Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrel boys, started out to gather for their mother nuts off the trees. And Johnnie chattered: "Come on Billie! Let's get a drink out of Uncle Wiggily's spring before we go after nuts." "All right," answered Billie. But when they reached the spring menile cried: "Oh, look! It's frozen. Jack Frost was here last night." "I know my nose was cold in bed," laughed Johnnie. "But we had better go tell Uncle Wiggily his spring is frozen and that he can't draw any water out. Come on!" "What's that you say boys?" cried the jolly rabbit gentleman. "I'll break a hole in the ice with the end of my red, white and blue striped rhenmatism crutch," said the bunny But when he tried to do this he found the ice so thinck that it wouldn't break. "How am I going to get any water?" bleated Uncle Butter. "I'll show you, answered Uncle Wiggily. I will build a fire on the rocks behind the spring. The rocks will get warm and melt the ice. Then the water will bubble out again." So the rabbit gentleman built a bonfire with the help of Uncle Butter and the squirrel boys. Hotter and hotter blazed the fire and the rocks grew very warm, so that soon the ice over the spring began to melt and the water bubbled forth again. Now I can get a drink," chattered Johnnie. "Yes, and now I can nibble ears!" cried the Skillery Scallery Alligator, suddenly coming forth from his den in the rocks, bringing his double jolated tail with him. The Alligator had crawled in the rocks to catch Uncle Wiggily when the bunny came for water. But the Gator had fallen asleep. The heat of the fire awakened him and out he crawled. "I'm going to get Uncle Wiggily," he bellowed. "You're going to get a good crack on the head—that's what you're going to get!" bleated Uncle Butter. Then the goat gentleman with his pail, very politely banged the Gator, not only on his read, but on his nose, so off down the hill crawled the bad chap, nibbling no ears that day. "Thank you, Uncle Butter!" laughed the bunny. "You saved my ears. Help yourself to water from my unfrozen spring." So the goat did, and Johnnie and Billie, after drinking, gathered many nuts for their mother." All thru the night firemen, their faces wan and ghastly in the fitful glare of the blaze, their bodies almost numb with exhaustion, continued their efforts to extinguish the conflagration suddenly loosed by an explosion in the Battelle and Renwick saltpeter works. They knew, however, that the fight had been won. Progress of the fire had been checked. It was stated by fire officials, however, that it might continue to blaze and smoulder for days. Latest estimates were that 2000 persons had been made homeless. Property damage will reach $6,000,000, it was reported. Three investigations begun by police and fire departments and the county prosecutor were under way to determine if anyone thru criminal negligence had been culpable. "Come on Billie! Let’s get a drink out of Uncle Wiggily’s spring before we go after nuts." "All right," answered Billie. But when they reached the spring Billie cried: "Oh, look! It’s frozen. Jack Frost was here last night." "I know my nose was cold in bed," laughed Johnnie. "But we had better go tell Uncle Wiggily his spring is frozen and that he can’t draw any water out. Come on!" "What’s that you say boys?" cried the jolly rabbit gentleman, as he hopped out of his bungalow when Johnnie and Billie knocked on the door. "My spring frozen?" That's too bad! For Uncle Butter always goes there every morning to get a pail of water. There he is now. I'll go up and help him." "But how can you get water out of the spring when it’s frozen?" asked Johnnie as he and little Billie followed Mr. Longears up the hill to meet Uncle Butter. crack on the head—that's what you're going to get!" bleated Uncle Butter. Then the goat gentleman with his pall, very politely banged the 'Gator, not only on his read, but on his nose, so off down the hill crawled the bad chap, nibbling no ears that day. "Thank you, Uncle Butter!" laughed the bunny. "You saved my ears. Help yourself to water from my unfrozen spring." So the goat did, and Johnnie and Billie, after drinking, gathered many nuts for their mother." DISCOUNT REPORT LONDON, Nov. 15.—The foreign office today discredited reports from Berlin that S.
