A forest flro which can plainly ho seen at night has been burning for the past two days In the Gold Hill district. A fire was started near the rock quarry at Tolo yesterday and Frank Kay telephoned to tha forestry office here and asked that meir'bo sent to fight It.

RED CROSS BENEFIT DANCE AT EAGLE POINT Saturday, June 29 Splcmliil M title, (iood Time for l-)vcrlody. UK i ii i . 1 1 : AfATTj TRTRT'XE. MKDFORP, ORTCOOX, SATURDAY. JUNE 29. .191B , FLY The three crates of homing pigeons comprising about 30 birds in all, bunt hero from Victoria, B. C, by the American It. P. union with the re quest that they be released this mor ning, wore liberated at 8:15 a. m. by O. J. Gould, agent of the "Wells Fargo Express company and his assis tant, Robert Stevenson, in the pres ence of a small crowd ol interested, spectators. The handsome birds, which arrived In the city Friday morning, lost no time when tho crates were opened In starting on their long journey home. They hesitated not a second but at once flew from the depot In a south westerly direction. They had only gone a few hundred feet, however, when they discovered their direction was wrong. They flew right back to the depot and with that ' unerring homing Instinct' which seems like hu man Intelligence, without stopping headed north and in a moment were out of sight. Medford experts pre dicted that the pigeons would fly at 100 miles an hour until their destina tion was reached. Altho nothing was said in the let tor of instructions to Agent Gould as to why the pigeons were being tested out via Medford and Vancouver, the general presumption was that the flyers were being tested for use in war. The Instructions asked that the birds be given water and a few peas on arrival here and again on the mor ning oftheir departure, 'but to be given no water or food between those times. Dangers of Costivcncss. Auto-lntoxicatlon, headache, lasBl tndo, irritability, "blues," sallowness, blotches, are among the results of constipation.

However delieate a definition U framed for "profiteering." these paekers have preypd upon the people unconscionably." Investigation in the coal mining industry reveuls in the opinion of the commission thnt despite government price fixing, larre margins of profit have been made. Ranges in the cost of production in a field having the maximum prices has( caused some operators to make sn margins of profit and others fniy , margins, the bulk of the production enjoying the large margin. In the oil industry large profits nie now being made in fuel oil and gaso line, the industry being one where the law of supply and demand Mill oper ates. The operation of this law ih hold to be in part responsible for the heavy profits, but a portion of the blame is laid to the spreading of false reports regarding .supplies. Steel companies made abnormal profits 'before, the government fixed n price for tho product, and it is shown that some have since made un usual returns. Profits of the United States Sleei corporation arc estimat ed at 24.0 per cent in 1017, as com pared with 15.6 per cent in 1D1G and ".2 ier cent in 3915. In practically every one of the oth er industries covered by the report it is siiown unusually heavy profits have been made in the last few years. Abnormal salaries are also shown to have been paid executive officials. Sharp Trjulo Practices Trade practices continued in addi tion to the profits lo consumers are noted as failure to ship goods on a rising market or refusal to accept goods on a falling market, eoinmer eial bribery and the tendency of man ufacturers to maintain a re-salc price. . , The report says no excessive pro fits are indicated in the lumber in dustry on the west coast, although it is said spruce producers previously had "prof il'pi''d'.' ;it the expense of the allied governments. "lrnusually and unnecessarily large profits," however, are indicated, the report snys ,on the rmr. of the South ern Pine Producers, where profits on net investment averaged 17 per cent. Gallon" Tires" COUNTY OVER THE TOP. (Continued from page one.) seriplion before the close, of the year owing to the educational and publicity work done during the present drive. While no figures were received from Ashland Chairman Hart has been advised the Granite City is well over the top. Gold Hill with a $.", 2(10 quota has reported $7.:100. Phoe nix is $3,000 over its ouitn with n $10,000 subscription, and Butte Falls went $1,200 over the top. Jackson ville, Eagle Point, Foots Creek, Lone Pine, Tolo, and numerous other dis tricts have reported over the top hill no official figures were available I his Limit Club Grows Indications are that Jackson coun ty will have fifty members in the lim it chili, the nullifications for which are purchases of War Stamps of $1, 000 maturity value. The foHuwuig names were nddsd to the club re onls at headquarters this morning: Med ford Gus Peterson, II. C. Mackey. P. C. Bingham, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Carpenter, Mrs. Frank G. Ov.'m and daughter, II. D. McClung. Rueh, Willinm Cameron; Fools Creek, Mrs. Abbie K. Chaiuplain. Both mass meetings nt Ihe local thenters last night were well nt tend ed, and $3,400 was raised at the I'vo meetings. The meetings were presid ed over by C. M. Thomas and C. E. Gates and local talent patriotically furnished good programs at both meetings. Ifard Work Did It Chairman Hart is deserving of much praise for the successful con clusion of the campaign just ended. Through his efforts Jackson county has once more demonstrated its pa triotism and willingness to support the government whenever called upon. Assistant Chairman Isaacs, and 'IVaul captain Braekinreed have made a splendid showing in the Medford dis trict while Limit Club Fred Stripp has worked night and day in his de partment with phenominal success. Relief from Eczema Don't worry about eczema or other skin troubles. You can have a clear, healthy skin by using a little zemo, obtained at any drug store for 35 pr extra large bottle at $1.00. Zemo generally removes pimples, black heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm and makes the skin clear and healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and statn9 nothing. It is easily applied and costs a mere trifle for each application. It ia dways dependable. i The E. W. Rose Co.. Cleveland. O. Perhaps you have observed that we seldom feature any one detail of design or construction in a Maxwell Motor Car. There is a reason for that In a product where excellence is uniform, there is no opportunity no temptation to emphasize any one feature, to the exclusion of others. Today there are more than 250,000 cars of this same model in use. For five years it has been manufactured in prac tically its present form. If there ever was a weak link in the chain, it was v long since strengthened. But there wasn't from the first this proved to be a wonderfully reliable, exceptionally economical and altogether a most satisfactory automobile. Special features are all right It is permissible, of course, to emphasize any advan tage a car may possess over its rivals. But in the case of this Maxwell we feel the strong est thing we can say is that it is just as good at one point' as at another good all over and all through. In a word, featureless a standardized, dependable motor car. You can't go wrong when you select a Maxwell Motor Car for yours. 250,000 other careful buyers and experienced motor ists endorse your judgment Following is a list of the limit club membership enrolled at noon toduv in the northern part of the county: Limit Club Memliershlp Medford National Bank.
