Three physicians a'so are in attendance and an operation may be necessary. Dr. Grnyson, In addition to the Torco of two nurses and nh orderly already on duty, called In during the morning Dr. Sterling Ruffin and Dr. H. A. Fowler, both of whom helped care for Mr. Wilson while he was ill in the White House. Prest. CHlldgR Sends Message. The messages of concern came from the lowest os well as the, highest among the fellow citizens of the for- Chicago Dr. George T.

Dr. Harding is taking an actlvo part in the national cam paign for fun. is by circulating about the district Ui Ohio where be Uvea. mer president, as did the great pres sure of telephone inquiries that be sieged newspaper offices as soon us the news spread. Washington and t he- country had heard many rumors heretofore about supposed relapses, but this thno there seemed to be 'a universal realization that something grave had occurred. From admirers of tho war-time president in distant states, from friends of Woodrow Wilson In his youth and his collegiate days as well as from public officials throughout all the branches of the government the inquiries and expressions of re gret poured in a general tide of pub lic sympathy and apprehension. President Coolidge was one of the first to send a message of sympathy. When he heard of the serious condi tion of his predecessor, he nnd Mrs. Coolidge conveyed a message In which they includud a prayer for recovery. Although at first unrelated to the direct cause of Mr. Wilsons eotlnpse in 191!), the digestive disorder had made such inroads in strength of the patient today as to develop anew some of the old symptoms that had suc cumbed to treatment and ncentuate others that had clung on despite all that the best medical attention and the tenderest core could do. It was these old symptoms that, as the day wore on, came to be the greatest source of worry to those at the lied- side.

Feb. 1. Woodrow Wilson has taken a decided turn for the worse. Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, his physician mated today. "Mr, Wlison had a restless night," said a bulletin issued by Dr. Grayson, "and has lost strength. During the night he took n midden and decided turn for the worse. "I regard his condition as very se rious." Dr. Grnyson was in the Wilson home attending the former president throughout the night. Ho discovered the seriousness . o(J the situation on going to tho bedside to make one of his periodical examinations, Vance McCormlck, former chair man nf the democratic national com mittee, indicated that little hope re mained to Mr. Wilson's friends as he, left the ex-president's home after a' brief stay today. "He may die today," Mr. McCor mlck said, "or ho might linger over until tomorrow. Of courso, where there Mm life at nil there Is always senile hope." Those who live fh the vicinity of bis home first guessed that some thing wus amiss when the big auto mobile presented ns a birthday gift a month ago by anonymous friends, failed to draw up before the white porticos of the trim brick house on S street to take the former chief executive for his customary ride in the late afternoon. on Wednesday Dr. Sterling Ruffin, who had helped attend Mr. Wilson on his illness at the White House was summoned by .Mrs. Wilson In the absence of Dr. Orayson. lie made a careful exam ination and on Wednesday night gave the public Its first real .news of the trouble In n statement saying n com plication had developed, but for the moment was not of proportions to warrant nlarm. lie added that tho development was unrelated to the old trouble that had nssalled the former president during his western speaking trip late In HMD. Dr. Grayson, on his return to Washington yesterday, confirmed that diagnosis nnd said he did not at that time regard the attack as serious, unless It should fall to yield to treat ment. The change during the night, how ever, manifestly aroused Knive fears of Dr. Grayson nnd Mrs. Wilson, who has been the, faithful attendant of her husband since the first symptoms of his collapse became manifest dur ing the western trip four and n half years ago. Today she notified all the members of Mr. Wilson's family of his condition at tho suggestion of Dr Grayson. None of his threo dnugh ters are In Washington. For a brief time this morning "Dr. Grayson left the bedside of his patient and made n hurried trip to his own home. He ven then. hofe: until nc h:vl sum moned Dr. 11. A.

' THE SOUTHERN OREGON CLAY PRODUCTS COMPANY Offers Southern Oregon Folks a Real Investment Opportunity m mini II inn mscam-taiftmm . .. GENERAL VIEW OF PLANT AT CENTRAL POINT i . , " HISTORY OF COMPANY. iTobably most..llie people of Southern Oregon are more or less familiar with tho company's plant located at Central Point on a fine 5-acre tract lying between the Highway nnl the Railroad. The factory olte was donated to the company by the enterprising citi zens of Central Point. The clay deposits are closer to Central Point than any other shipping point, thus making the location an ideal one. Experiments and tests made during the past several years have definitely determined the high quality of the local clays for the manufacture of high grade brick, tile, pottery, crockery ward, insu lators and other similar lines. The company was incorporated under tho laws of the State of Oregon in March, 1923, with 100,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of l per share. Local business men Investigated the opportunity and backed their judgment with their motley. Nearly $23,000 were raised and Invested In clay deposits, buildings, plant, machinery, etc, during 1923 ' " A brick making machine was Installed and approximately 800, 000 brick were made, having a value around $ IS, 000. Most of this supply of brick will be used for the construction of kilns, factory and office buildings, although several hundred thousand bricks have been sold nt a good figure. At the present time a new testing kiln is nearly completed. This kiln will be used for testing of clays from all parts of Southern Oregon. BUSINESS IN COMPETENT HANDS. The Company was fortunate In securing the services of Mr. I. S. Siedel In the capacity of Plant Superintendent. Mr. Sledel has had 38 years experience in the pottery business and has had charge of some of the largest plants In the west A few years ago Mr. Sledel was asked to take over the manage ment Df a pottery plant In Canada which Wig $75,000 In debt at the time. At the end of ther first year he had it out of debt and latest advices are to the effect that the plant is earning around $78,000 per year. s Mr. Siedel believes we have an equal opportunity nere. He Is so confident of the success of this company that he has become a substantial stockholder himself. Southern Oregon is blessed with millions of dollars potential wenllh in tho way of undevelop ed natural resources. A natural resoiip-cc, however, may have thou sands of dollars potential wealth, but it does none of us any good until Man applies his knowledge and tools lo change a raw natural product into a commercial asset. HIGH FREIGHT RATES. A local dealer re cently purchased a carload of clay pro ducts from lied Wing, Minn., and tho freight to Medford equaled 125 per cent of the cost of the shipment. High freight rates from eastern concerns will enable the Southern Clay Products Com pany to easily meet all competition, thus eliminating tho niost serious obstacle con fronting any business. JACKSON COUNTY CLAY BEDS. One of the big, nnd ns yet undeveloped, assets lies in its big deposits of clay nnd kaolin found extensively in the vicinity of Central Point and Medford. It is a well established fact that the tpiality of these clays is as good if not superior to any of the big eastern clay manufacturing centers. The Southern Oregon Clay Products Company is the first concern to exploit these clay beds in a commercial way. WATCH YOUR II ii. CREW TURNING OUT BRICK INVESTMENT GROW.

Tho company has received letters from such con corns as the Dennlson Inter locking Tile Co., Fuller Paint, Co., and big electrical concerns asking for prices and delivery on tile, paint pots and insulators. The Fuller Pniift Co., asked for prices on 00,000 paint pots. This order could easily be filled at a good profit If the Company had proper equipment. Tho clay products bought in Oregon alone (mostly shipped from the Kaat) would keep a large1 force of men busy at our plant. The opportunity for the clay products here Is so well recognized that no further mention Is needed. Recent statistics (Moody's Reports) show a total of $201,270,000 of clay products were purchased In the United States last year. Of this total only 12,027,000 were made west of the Mississippi River.
