VEGETABLE OILS
. O. Miller, Bernardston, Mass.,
writes as follows: "Could you kindly
give me some information about vege
table oils that are used as substitutes
for linseed oil? Where, in your opin
ion, could soy beans and sunflowers be
mot profitably grown?"
There are various oils to adulterate
linseed oil, but we are not aware of any
oil that will take its place, ot even
add anything to its value. It seems
that linseed oil is the only one that
has ever been found that possesses the
proper drying qualities to iecure the
results desired. Whatever is added to
1 It seems merely to be a detriment.
Soy beans and sunflowers may be
profitably grown under some condi
tions. There are a great many regions
where they will grow satisfactorily,
and we believe that the middle west
nr west would perhaps give the best
returns, all things considered. In
Colorado the Russian sunflower makes
a wonderful growth. It is grown quite
extensively for feeding chickens.
The soy bean is a crop thst will
stand a great deal of dry weather,
hence Is profitably grown on rather
dry soils, although it responds to
moisture as well perhaps as any other
crop. It is grown extensively through
out the south: also some of the hardy
varieties are found In the central sec
tion. Tf you are thinking df coming west
with a view to taking up such work
?s rrbwinp these crops, you can get
Information by addressing any of the
state colleges in the west.

information as to vegetable oils by

POTATO MARKET
IS AT LOW EBB
The demorilization of the potato
trade is complete at all Pacific coast
points. While thvjir is a limited sale
here for stock, business is entirely at
a standstill at both Los Angeles and
San Francisco. Oregon potatoes are
not wanted there at the present time
at any price. This much is made plain
to local shippers by their representa
tives in the south.
So heavy are the supplies of rivet
potatoes in California that there is
at present no indication that any Ore
gon stock will be needed until, per
haps the tail end of the season.
An advice from San Francisco to
a Portland shipper says there's nothing
doing in the trade there, the situation
being just as dull as before. Ten cars
of garnets are reported on the track
there unsold and it looks as if some
of the dealers will be stuck badly on
tailend offerings. There is absolute
ly no demand in San Francisco for
Oregon potatoes at the present time.
The San Francisco writer spent three
days on the rivers and cannot see
how the market can use all the offer
ings. He purchased a supply of fancy
stock at 32 l-2c a sack' on the river
bank.
Regarding the onion situation the
writer saiys that there are lots of
good onions on the river and if the
weather remains clear he believes
there will be enough stock to tide
the trade over for one or two months.
He cannot possibly see how any ma
terial demand for Oregon onions will
develop before February 1 at least.
Another dealer at Los Angeles
writes that the market is just as poor
as previously reported. There have
been no rains and therefore no de
mand has appeared for early rose,
which are nominally quoted.
In th-.; Los Angeles market fancy
burbanks from the home territory are
selling so low that there is absolutely
no demand for Oregon offerings.
In the Portland market the potato
trade is quiet. Fancy stock is selling
from 65 to 75c a sack, about 118
pounds, and there is so nominal a
call for ordinary offerings that no ac
curate quotation can be obtained. -

COURTS ARE BLAMED
EOR DYNAMITE PLOTS
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 18. "Politi
ticians standing between labor un
ions and the courts," were blamed for
the McNamara dynamite plots at the
outset of the Government's argument
to the jury at the trial of the 40 ac
cused "bomb plotters". .
Pronouncing the series of explos
ions scattered over the country as a
conspiracy, "more dastardly and more
threatening to society than the crime
of an individual," James W. Noel,
special Assistant District Attorney,
told the jurors they were called on to
render verdicts in the most important
trial in recent years.
"Organized crime has here appear
ed to an amazing degree," said Noel,
"and it was carried on and it grew
because locally the arm of the law
failed. Had local authorities done
their duty this conspiracy could not
have spread, but it appears that poli
ticians lor obvious reasons stood be
tween labor nuions and criminals and
the local court.
"A strike of the Ironworkers was
called. Plain assaults became mur
derous assaults; then, unchecked by
the local courts and favored by poli
ticians, the criminals grew bolder
and fought with dynamite and nitro
glycerin. "The Los Angeles Times building
was blown up with the murder of
21 persons. After that, reckless dis
regard of life became a wanton desire
to take life.
"Of the 100 explosions that occur
red in the United States, the Govern
ment has proved that 92 explosions
were on he property of open shop
contractors or firms which refused to
recognize the International Associa
tion of Bridge & Structural Ironwork
ers. '

foreign matter and germs; The air
is full of germs. You can not dodge
them, but you can safe-guard yourself
against catarrh and other defeases con
tracted in the process of breathing by

Catarrh germs will sometimes get in
their work, and you may mistake the
symptoms for an ordinary cold.
Don't take any chances. If you
have a stuffed up feeling in the head
or if your throat is sore or filled with
phelgm, just grease the nostrils with
a little Ely's Cream Balm, draw the

It takes the trouble right where it
starts, in the nose and throat, cleanses

GEORGE YOUNG HAS
BIBLE PRINTED 1672
Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Young have a
bible which was printed in 1672. Tha
bible was published by the printers
of the King of Scotland, John Bill
and Christopher Barker. It was
brought to this country from Scotland
by the Drennen family, who are the
grandparents of Mrs. Young. Mrs.
Margaret Dodson, who was in Oregon
City for a number of years prior to
her death, had the bible in an old
fashioned chest which is also in the
possession of the Youngs.
Family records, dating from 1622
to 1806 are recorded in the small
book. The book is in excellent condition.
A feature of Foraker's testimony
was the allegation that Hearst paid
$34,000 tor possession of the photo
graphic copies of the Archbold letters.
The publisher testified that he had
secured the correspondence from
John Eddy, now a resident of London,
but he denied they represented an out-
I lay of money. They were given to
him, he said, when the Independence
League was organized, Eddy hoping
the publication of the correspondence
would aid the new movement.
Foraker admitted he did not know
personally that Hearst paid for the
letters, but that his information was
secured by one of his private agents
and he believed it to be true. He
characterized Hearst's statement that
Hearst did not know how the Arch
bold letters were obtained as "pre
posterous." Foraker denied that he had ever
acted as a lobyist for the Standard
Oil Company, defending his request
for money from Archbold by the fact
that he had once acted as council for
the Standard Oil magnate. He ex
plained several of Archbold's letters
reading numerous documents regard
ing the legislative situations they in
volved. The $50,000 borrowed from Arch
bold, Foraker said, was secured to
assist a friend in purchasing a news
paper. The paper was not purchased,
he said, and the money was returned.
He charged Hearst with purposely
suppressing the letter which showed
the loan had been returned.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIR
A FEW APPLICATIONS OF A SIM
PLE REMEDY WILL BRING BACK
THE NATURAL COLOR
"Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take.its place' is an old saying,
which is, to a great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear it is a sign
that Nature needs assistance. It is
Nature's call for help. Gray hair,
dull, lifeless hair, or nair that is fall
ing out, is not necessarily a sign of
old age, for there are thousands ut
elderly people without a single streak
of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of the
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned "sage tea" which our grand
parents used. The best preparation
of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of
domestic sage and sulphur, scientifi
cally compounded with later discov
ered hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixture being ea'.viully balan
ced by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulpaur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. It refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re
stores faded or gsay hair to its nat
ural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days' treatment will make in vour
hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
