Kxpanslon of buildings and equip
ment to meet growing business has
been the rule during the past year at
the plant of the Rogue River Valler
Canning Co. whe.ro are made the fam
ous Yellow Label canned goods, apple
juice and "Pep," the well ltnown lo
ganberry and apple juice beverage. ;
In spite of the heavy freeze of the
early fall which cut the tomato c.op
to one third the company packed and
Bold at Klamath Kalis, Portland and
locally 8 carloads, 600 cases to the
ear. of tomatoes. The farmers were
paid for the tomatoes J 10 per toil.
Next year the officers of the company
are planning to pack 100 acres ot to
matoes or in the neighborhood of 40
cars. A ready market for this paei
awaits the company.
PuniiAla CaniieO. -
Following the tomato pack pump
kins were canned, about one carload
in all. This amount will he mater
ially increased during the coming
year, the company offering to take all
that are brought to the cannery at
from IC.r.O to (8 per ton according lo
quality.
During the late full and early win
ter the plant has been devoted to the
packing of gallon apples and the matt
ing of applo Juice. One car of gallon
apples hat already been shipped lo
Armour & Co., at Salt Lake City. Sev.
rrmal more cars on hand will begin
to move In carload lots shortly after
tiie first cf the year.
Tour cailcuts. of apple Juic are
now stored In the company waro
liouso. It will be held until spilrjg
and then pushed on the market,
which shows every appearence of a"
fsorblng the output at fancy prices.
For all the apples they have becD
able to brlns to the factory orchard
ists hare been puld $C.G0 per ton.
rnyroll of $0,0OO,
In adition to money expende 1 by
the companj 1;, nayment for produce,
for additloui to '.he factory roor.,5 and
to the atotiiue room' the compai.j
has paid out about $0000 ;in payroll
during the past season. This amount,
it is thought, will be more than
doubled In 1917. The heaviest pay
roll comes in the tomato packing
season when 50 people are employed.
If the expectations of the officers of
the company are realized it will be
necessary to almost double this lone
during the next pack. - For oahnlug
apples and apple juice a force of 0
persons are employed. This number
also is expected to be Increased dur
ing the coming season. 1
The building up of the Rogue River
Valley Canning Co., will mean pros
perity for mnny families in Medford
and vicinity. It will give employment
to ninny men and women in the city
and in addition offers a sure mar

ALLIES' ANSWER FOR PROFESSIONAL

BKHLIN, Jon. 3. The only reply,
of tho'ontento to tho peace' proposals
of tha central powers is discussed at
great lengths this morning by - tha
newspapers, which base their re
marks on the unofficial press .version
of the note ns received here from
French sources. The newspapers are
unanimous In saying the answer of
the entente is only what was to he ex
pected. In view of the utterances of
statesmen of the hostile nations. .
The opinion Is expressed that the
note was addressed less to the centra)
powers than to the people of the cn
tento countries and to neutrals; hence
tho strong' declamatory lnnguugc, ac
cordini? to the German opinion, cal
culated to U-.flame against the Teu
tonic allies. Iu particular It is de
clared, the section devoted to llel
glum is Inteuded expressly for the
American people.
In general the answer Is regarded
as the stiffest and most brusque pos
sible and, to be couched in insulting
and calumniating terms, never before
seen In an international document.
All the newspapers agree that the
only answer-the central powers' can
give is with tfre'Bword; that tho war
must be continued until the allies
themselves sue or peace.
Only a fr newvpaperu see even a
fafnt hope -'that peace still may b
attainable within a reasonable time.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3. That ccrtaiu
baseball magnates are considering a
plan to utilize their ball parks for
professional football and to back fin
ancially a league of national propor
tions next fall is the report brought
here from IJetroit. An agent of n
professional football team which
played its games on Xnvin field, the
American league grounds in Detroit;
is in Chicago today, according to a
morning paper, to enlist support of
the major league clubs.
The plan involves the. organization
.of the lcaguo along the lines of the
professional baseball. It is hoped to
enlist the service of those ball play
ers who arc also football Sim's, and
the remainder of Ihe teams will be
recruited from college graduates.
Among the cities mentioned ns
prospective members of the new
league are Chicago, New York, De
troit, I'lltsburg, Cleveland, Indianap
olis and Columbus.
The season would begin nt . the
close of the baseball season and con
tinue as long as the weather was fn
voralilc.
For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises
Hero in America, there is much
suffering from catarrh and head nois
es. American people would do well
to consider the method employed by
the English to combat this Insldous
disease. Everyone knows how damp
the English climate Is and how damp
ness affects those suffering from ca
tarrh. In England they treat ca
tarrhal deafness and bead noises as a
constitutional disease and use an In
ternal remedy for it that Is really
very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
have had their hearing restored by
this English treatment to such on
extent that the tick of a watch was
plainly audiblo seven and eight Inches
away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone
who is troubled with catarrh, catarrh
al deafness or head noises, cut out
this formula and hand it to them and
you may have been the means of Hav
ing some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can
be easily prepared at home for about
?Hc and and Is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 oz. of
I'armlnt (Double Strength), about
TSc worth. Take this home, and add
to It 1-1 pint of hot water and t
ouuees of granulated sugar; at Ir until
dissolved. Take a Jablespoonful four
limes u day.
t. mint Is used In this way not
oti'y lo reduce by tonic action the in
flammation and swelling in '.iio eus
tachl.i'l tubes, and thus to eiii'dlUe
