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. If long neglected it
may cause piles, ulceration of bowels,
appendlcits, nervous prostration, pa
ralysis. Don't delay treatment. Best
remedy is Foley Cathartic Tablets, as
many tnousands know from experi
ence. They not only do their work
surelV, easily, gontly, but without in-
Jury to stomach or Intestinal lining.

CAUSE OF MOST
(Continued rrom page One.)
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.

Indications are that Jackson coun

Both mass meetings nt Ihe local

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

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.
