WASHINGTON. Fe. t Woodrcw

A digestive disorder, flrnt norlced
several day ago, develop-?-! a condi
tion during the night that was de
scribed by his physician, Cary T.
Orayson as "very serious."
A crisis Is believed likely br fere the
day is over. The members of his fam
ily have been summoned hy Mrs. Wil
son who Is in constant utt?ntJancc at
tho bedside. 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. Harding,
father of tho late President Hard

subscribers for tho Harding Mem
orial Fund. Dr. Harding is taking

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.

Utile Hope of Recovery.
WASHINGTON. 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

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.

AVAILABLE BUSINESS.
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.

The manufacture of clay products Is one of the oldost

equipment has made the work easier, but hag added lit
tle to quality of work done centuries ago.
That the clay products business Is a highly profit
able one la evidenced by the commercial reports of both
Dunn's and Bradstreot's. This business ranks among
the leaders in earning power and safety.
Only a small portion of the crockery ware, jugs,
vases, bowls. Insulators, chinaware, pots, etc., used on
the Pacific Coast Is manufactured here. Most of these
products come from Red Wing, Minh., and from Ohio
and New Jersey. -
