War Expected to Aid Project.
The present company will do onl
the preliminary work, such aa obtain
ing acreage contracts from farmers of
Clackamas. Marion. Multnomah. Wash
ington and Yamhill counties and a site
or the plant. .
"It will be no trouble to secure csp
ital for the new enterprise," Mr. Loder
said. "Conditions are Weal for the es
tablishment of a big flax industry in
the North Willamette Valley. The soil
and climate of Western Oregon are per
fect for the cultivation of the plant,
and there is a strong demand for the
products.
"Strangely enough, the war in Eu
rope has done much to encourage in
vestment in such a project as this in
Oregon, for the Belgian factories can
not equal their former output for at
least seven years."
Ten Thousand Acres Wanted.
The company will begin at once &
campaign of education for the benefit
of valley farmers.
"We want between 10.000 and 20,000
acres of Northern Willamette Valley
farm land signed up to raise flax,"
eald Mr. Ioder. "We will supply seed
and fertilizer and send out full direc
tions as to methods of cultivation. It
will be part of our contract with the
farmer that he must follow our in
structions." Fifty per cent of the capital stock
must be subscribed before the organ
ization of the company can be com
pleted. The promoters will endeavor
to find 40 investors for $250 each.

A PURE WHITE MINERAL OIL
.WhyYourDoctor Prescribes
Nujol for Constipation
LAXATIVES can very easily do a great
deal of harm.
Nujol can do no harm, because it is not
absorbed into the system, but acts simply
as a mechanical lubricant.
Laxatives give only a temporary relief,
and by their after-effects aggravate the
very condition they are meant to cure.
Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely
neutral, and is not digested or absorbed
into the system. It acts merely as a me
chanical lubricant.
Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give
quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a
genuine remedy in that it relieves consti
pation in the most natural way by lubrica
ting the lining of the intestines, softening
the intestinal contents, and thus promot
ing healthy and normal bowel activity.
Write for "The Rational Treatment of
Constipation," an informative treatise on
constipation. If you cannot get Nujol
from your druggist, we will send a pint
bottle prepaid to any point in the United
Stages on receipt of 75c money order or
stamps.

advocated and agitated as a business
proposition. Insurance rates are con
sidered too high, but, on the other
hand, it pointed out by the- big
Churchill committee of business men
that the risks are just as bad.
With a successful cleanup week in
the downtown district and the removal
of all accumulations of dangerous and
combustible material, a .movement will
be started for a readjustment ef in
surance rates.
The Churchill committee yesterday
issued three suggestions to the busi
ness man to convince him as to the
fire-danger on his own premises:
"Number one is the suggestion that
every business man study his own
place from the viewpoint of an abso
lute stranger. Use common sense and
note all fire dangers to be discovered,
as well as suggestions for Improve
ments. File this statement for future
reference.
"Call Inspectors" Advice.
"Second, call In the Fire Marshal or
one of his Inspectors and let him go
through the store or factory. He is
trained In this work and should be
able to find some things that the busi
ness man has overlooked. Ask him
for a report in writing, and then file
it.
"Then have a third inspection made
by the man who placed the insurance
on the building. He will see the risk
from the viewpoint of the company
that pays loss in case of fire. Get
his suggestions written down and file
them away.
"If any two of the reports agree on
the same thing the merchant has es
tablished a danger point thet needs
