OVER THE TOP FOR
PORTI-ANII, Ore, Sept. 28. Fif
teen counties nf Oregon are over the
top anil more than )'20 towns scat
tered throughout the state have
Achieved their quotas. Yamhill,
Walla Walla, Wasco, Washington,
Clackamas, Douglas, Deschutes,
Coos, Curry and Gilliam went over
the top yesterday. The state showed
u remarkable spurt yesterday and
with many of the communities still
to he heard from, the showinj; was
considered very satisfactory.
Some of tho large cities which
pnssed t,lie 1(10 per cent mark yester
day, nro Alhany, Marshficld, Nov,(h
Hend, The Dalles, and Forest drove,
and n pood many towns stand 7." per
, cent subscribed, and many will be re
ported over tho top in the early hours
of today.
Portland Cols liusy,
Portland's city campaign yester
day was feverish with its intensity,
with flying squadrons returnini;
double subscriptions from many
sources. The campaign yesterday de
volved to the point where slackers
were made luightly uncomfortable.
Special committees made it very jdain
that direction of duty lay in one way
only, to nil those whom the commit
tee felt had not done their part. Port
land is going to clean up in u hurry,
and is not going to do it ia any fal
tering manner. It is spending every
effort to put the burden where it be
longs, and the quota will be put there
by on those who should put it there.
The campaign is not without its ex
citing moments. One such being w hen
h great war balloon "lllimpf," as it
is called on the western front, broke
away and sailed west to (lie Pacific.
This balloon was preparing tit make
n surprise attack on the city and was
being filled with gas at the works of
the Portland Gas company in the
northern part of the city. When all
ready to start on its trip to points
of the city, it broke from its moor
ings nnd sailed high into the sky
bearing the query, "Are, you pledg
ed," and when last seen it was west
of southwest by west from Portland
an dstill going for the Pacific ocean.

NETTLE FIBRE
FABRICS RESORTED
TO By GERMANS
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 2 7. -Government
backed iru;uigiinda to familiar
ize the German public with the ad
vantages of nettle fibre fabrics is be
coming more intense as the father
land's remaining wool and cotton
stocks are dwindling In size.
At Zeblendorf near Ilcrlin there is
a large nettle farm where the weeds,
planted this spring, havo grown to
man's height. This nettle-growing
business is carried on under the aus
pices of the "War Raw Materials"
section of tho war department in
Berlin, and 25,000 persons find em
ployment In collecting the young
plants in all parts of the country.
At the present time there are In
Germany about 100 nettle fibre tex
tile works, where the dried stalks are
woven Into cloth. One hundred
pounds of well-dried stalks is palu
for at the rate of 14 marks, while,
the dry leaves, which are much in de
mand as cattle fodder, fetch 10
marks for 100 pounds. The same
price Is paid for a pound of dried net
tle seeds.
To encourage prlvato enterprise,
every person who brings in any of
the above-mentioned quantities, is.
presented with a reel of "nettle cot
ton" as a bonus.
In the vicinity of Stettin and Frie
sack, in the province of Itrandenburg
other nettle farms have been laid out
on moorland, which is not suitable
fo- cereal-growing. The nettle cul
tivation, for which the state pays a
bounty of 100 marks an acre, has tho
advantage of preparing tho soil for
other crops.
It is asserted that nettle fibre Is
stronger than cotton, and that ten
pounds of dry nettle stalks yield
three yards of "cloth."

LONDON, Sept. 28. (Hy the
Associated Dress.) "What German
lVa-e is Like," is the headini; on an
article written for the Weekly Dis
patch by Annie Parr, who has just
arrived in Loudon from Ducharest.
1 was in Ducharest, when the Ger- i
mans entered the Kumauian capital, i
he writes. "They had evidently de-!
ided that il would not he wise to.
hock the world with another Del-1
Liiuin, and I hey were very careful to
keep their I ruops under control, hut j
they were the masters. remember
a male friend of mine who was re
turnini; home from dinner in evening
clot lies bein; stopped in the streets
in the middle of winter and compell
ed to sweep away the sow for hours ia
the bitter cold.
"Many a beautiful home was
wrecked. The Germans had no scru
ples about converting drawing rooms
into stables for their horses, and
front gardens into cemeteries fur
their dead.
"Terrible atrocities were committed
by the Dulyariaus, and the sufferings
of the prisoners they took were un
speakable. Of ;HUHMt liumaninns
taken prisoners only 8000 returned,
and they were in an appalling condi
tion. They were skeletons, scarcely
able to walk. At the station they
seemed too weak to eat or drink. When
we nffeied them food they simply
-ank down .onto a bench and hur-l
ii.to tears."
"It was a mosj tragic homecoming
(or the Itumauinn soldiers, following
upon the crushing peace terms. II
has left on my mind an tin forget table
impression of what a German pca"e
is like. Those soldiers came hack in
i-ml's and half starved to homes that
had been reduced to poverty. They
had to witness in silence the insolent
hearing of the German soldiers in
their streets. The officers were told
tl ey would have to salute the Ger- '
man officers or take uff their nni-
forms. They preferred to take uff
their uniforms. i
'There are slill plenly of German
soldiers (here looking fat and well
and ai no pains to conceal their sal
isfaelion nt the conclusion of a peace !
which lias put a crushing economic
burden unfo Itumania and Ifo'md the

There is n h arras sine discomfort
caused by Eczema that almost be
comes a torture. The itching is al
most unbearable, and the skin seems
on fire with the burning irritation.
A euro from local applications of
pnlvcs and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only al
lay the pain temporarily. The disease
can only be reached by going deep
down to its source.
Tho sourco of Eczema is in the
blood, the disease being caused by an
infection which breaks out througn
the skin. That is why the most satis
factory treatment for all so-called
skin diseases is S. S. S., for this rem
edy so thoroughly cleanses the blood
that no impurities can remain, uet a
