ON THE VERGE OF WAR
Till' (icniian nolo lirus(iicy announcing tin resump
tion of hrntal, ruthless submarine warfare, utter dis
regard of international law and defiance of the rights of
neutrals for the avowed purpose of slaughter and starva
tion cannot mean other than, sooner or later, a severance
of diplomatic relations by the L'nited States. Knowledge
that the note was coming explains the president's extraor
dinary efforts to promote pea.ee and A'erifies Secretary
Lansing's statement that the nation stood on the verge of
war.
Germany is bound by no scruples in lier struggle to win
the worldwide war. She has never shown the slightest
regard for the rights of other nations. Her violation of
l'elgiuni was an index to her
that stood m the way of her rapacity, tier only reason for
heeding tlx; protest of the United States and agreeing to
conduct warfare at sea according to Hit! rules of interna
tional law, as is now frankly admitted, was a shortage in
.submarines; her peace palaver and friendship twaddle

CHICAGO, Feb. 1. The wheat
market broke an extreme 15 1-Sc at
the opening today under the In
fluence of the German submarine
note.
iCom, oats and provisions also
slumped severely." Tho trading pits
on the board of trade and the crowd
ed customers rooms of the brok
erage houses were scenes of great ex
citement. A nrominent house with au in
fluential German clientele was an ob
ject of envy among speculators who
asserted that customers of this firm
had been selling short for ten days
with an apparent certainty of their
nosition. If true, it was said that
their profits on the break will be
enormous as the break today follows
a decline of 13 cents in wheat dur
ing the last week.
A- week ago May wheat closed at
$1.84; a bushel, l-ast night it
closed at $1.71. The first quota
tion this morning was posted as
$1.60 but when the ticker clerks
were able to check ud on what ac
tually happened in the midst of the
nandemonium it was found that op
ening figures ranged from $1.63 to
$l.fiti. July wheat, which closed yes
terday at $1.46 to $1.46, opened
with sales from $1.40 to $1.36.
On the break henw nurchnses were
made, supposedly for the account of
the biy; shorts, who were embracing
the moment to take their profits.
Quotations jumped 1 and 2 cents
without a break. .May shot up to
l.li-t and July to $1.41.
.May com oponed to 4e un
der last night at 07 to 9.V May onts
were off 2 lo .Vv'je at f3 to dDV-i.
Net declines in wheat todav on the
German note ranizcd from 4Vs for
September options to 8 cents for May
at the cIom. The market touched its
lowest at the opening, and final fig
ures were from J:!4 cents over the
lowest for September to 7'' for May.
SALEM, Feb. 1. It is hard to
keep the Hogue river fish fight out
of the house proceedings. It cropped
out on the committee report on itep
resentative Peck's hill to repeal the
law of the 191 j session, prohibiting
tlie sale of fish taken from the.Flor
es river in Coos and Curry counties.
Tho committee, as tho fisheries com
mittee usually is, was divided. On
the question of passing tho bill to
third reading. Peck and Itepresenta
tive Thomas engaged In a verbal
clash.
"Aren't you attorney for Roderick
Macleay and doesn't Mucleay operate
a cannery in Coos county " demand
ed Thomas.
"I am not retained by Macleay,"
declared Peck, "but the firm of whicn
I am a member has done business for
him, the same as we aro ready to
do business for other clients."
He said the bill had been intro
duced at the request of John Neil
son, an enemy of Macleay,
"And now let me a.sk you a ques
tiou," demanded Peck, turning to
Thomas. "Didn't you go to the
sportsmen's meeting at Portland at
the expense of tho Rod and Gund
club of Jackson county to oppose the
Macleay interests?"
Thomas said that he went to Port
land as the representative of the
pooplo of Jackson, Josephine and
Curry counties, and that he paid his
own expeuses.
Eczema Is Conquered
Greasy salves and ointments should

of zemo. When applied as directed, it
effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burns, wounds and clufuiK.
it penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zcmo is a clean, dependable and inex

Try it, as we believe nothing you have
ever used is as effective and satisfying.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Mead Noises
Here in America there is mur
Buffering from catarrh and hean
noises. American peoplo would do
well to consider the method employ
ed by the English to combat this in
sldious disease. Everyone know
how damp the English climate
and how dampness affects those su
ferine; from catarrh. In Englanc
they treat catarrhal diseases am
head noises as a constitutional dls-
case and use an internal remedy for
it that is really very efficacious. 4
Sufferers who could scarcely hearr
have had their hearing restored bA
this English treatment to such an ex-
tent that the tick of a watch wasji
plainly audible seven and eight inchi .
es away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone
who is troubled with catarrh, ca
tarrhal deafness or head noises, cut
out this formula and hand it to them
and you may havo been the means
of savins some poor sufferer per
haps from total deafness. The pre
scription can be oasily prepared Ht
home for about 7 jc and is made aa
follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 oz.
of Parmint (Double Strength)
about 7.'ic worth. Take this homo
and add to It 1-4 pint of hot water
and 4 ounces of granulated su&.ir:
stir until dissolved. Take a table
spoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not.
only to reduce by tonic action tho
inflammation and swelling in tho Eu
stachian Tubes, and thus lo equalize
the air pressure on the drum, hut
to correct any excess of secretions In
the middle ear, and the results It
gives aro usually remarkably quick
and effective. i
Every person who has catarrh in '
any form should give this recipe a
trial. , ,
Heath's Drug Store, Strang's Drug
store, Medford Pharmacy, West Side
Pharmacy, Hasklns' Drug Store, will
supply you.
