After apathy coujiled with lowering prices, a slight recovery occurred in the closing hour today on the stock exchange. This accompanied news from Washington that the cabinet in principle hud ac cepted (icrinany's disavowal of the Lusitani.i torpedoing without insisting that she explicitly admit the illegality thereof. The recovery, however, was no enthusiastic and it affected only n few indusrial issues. Altogether the market was dull and ; ( 'okc 's meaningless, with the smallest activity tiiis yeir.

E. Ware aud oth j ers. It was chuged in the indictment i that Ware loaned money at a greater I interest than 10 per cent per annum ' without first having taken out a state license to operate under the state bank ing liws. Ware was tried in the circuit court before Judge Henry F. McGinn in Multnomah county and convicted. He appealed to the supreme court aud Justice Henson wrote the opinion af firming the rulings of the lower court on the constitutionality of the law. In an oniniou written by Justice Mc Bride the writ of mandamus was sus tained in the case of Jessie M. (.'arson and others igainst II. J. Schulderniau, as corporation commissioner of the state of Oregon. This was a writ brought to compel tile eoriKirntion com missioner to file articles of incorpora tion lor the "E. llenrv Wenuno En dowment Fund'' as a charitable insti tution. The articles prescribed a cap it. ligation of $:i"0,(IOO to erect and maintain a maternity hospital and the supreme court sitting en banc held that the hospital was a charitable institu tion and that the articles should be filed is such. The corporation was formed pursuant to the will of E. Hen ry Weinme, deceased, who bequeathed certain property to the plaintiffs in trust for the purpose of erecting and maintaining a maternity home for un fortunate and wayward girls in Port land. Judge G. F. Skipworth was upheld in his rulings in the Springfield til case, appealed from Lane county in which Welby Ctevens and others brought suit against S. W. Taylor, county treasurer and J. C. Parker, sheriff, to enjoin them from collecting taxes in excess of five mills prescribed by the original charter of Springfield. The city at tempted to levy a tax of 15 mills and passed an amendment to the charter authorizing this action to further cer taing improvements in Springfield. Some of the taxpayers sought an in junction against the collection of the taxes and the decree wis rendered in the circuit court in favor of the tax payers and against the tax collectors. In his opinion Chief Justice Moore af firms the lower court on tiio grounds that the rights of the city council to increase the tax in excess of five mills are not clearly outlined and quotes Justice Bein in a former case as fol lows: "The prineiiial is universal that whenever a municipality or other gov ernment agency of the state seeks to impose the burden of taxation upon a citizen or upon his property it must be able to show tho grant of such power by express words or necessary implica tion. Xo doubtful inference from ota er powers granted or from obscure pro visions of the law, nor mere nutters of convenience, or even necessity, will answer the purpose. Tho grant relied upon must be evidnt and unmistakable and all doubts will be resolved against its exercise and in favor of the taxpay er." The other opinions follow: H. L.

To form a clearing house for the in terchange of ideas and information. To permit of organized, concentrated effort in certain lines of work where the interests of each organization are identical. To exerciso greater influence upon the progress and development of the community in all commercial, industrial and agricultural lines, than it is pos sible for each organization to do, acting as a separate unit. Suggestions for Plan of Organization. This organization should have the usual officers, a board of directors, and a constituption and by-laws. The of ficers should be selected from the pres ent officers and boards of directors of the member clubs. The board of direct ors should be composed of three mem bers from each eounty in the associa tion, one member to be chosen from the commercial bodies of the county, one to be a member of the county court, and the (bird mnember represent Ithe county at large, preferably selected from the grange by the two preceding members, . Some of the Problems in Which Organ ized, United Efforts Would Yield Results Worth Striving For. Good Roads. The best system of maintaining exist ing roads should be determined. An effort should be made to reduco the present excessive waste of funds incur red by poor methods of maintenance and piece-meal construction. Construc tion of permanent roads should be advo cated and the necessary ways aud means of financing such construction devised. Changes should be made in the laws so as to permit a general county annual levy for permanent construction in one or more places in the county. Laws resulting in the better organiza tion of the directive force in county construction and maintenance of roads would result in great economy. Drainage. A strong campaign should be initiat ed, emphasizing the importance and benefits which will result if the wet lands in the alley aro drained. Ef forts should be mado to co operate with the United States department of agri culture and the Urogou .Agricultural college, so that their assistance can ce secured in this work An effort should be made to form at least one drainage district in every comity; because-practical demonstration ov a large tcalc of the valuable results of drainage will be brought home to the c.unnv.iiiities adjacent to each project. Products of the Valley. Steps should be taken to advance the interests of the various product1, o the valley. For exanvde, a nation wide do maud for loganberry inicc might be pro moted and established; our prunes might be placed into national promin ence; our dairy products, timber, etc., etc., might be givenu a greater impetus; nnd the improvement of the status of all products can be considered. Rural Credits. The question of rural credits can be considered. Government Economy. The organization should co operate with taxpayers' organizations and other agencies to emphasize the neces.-iity for economy nnd elimination of waste in na tional, state and county expenditures. Development of Rural Life. Every effort to extend the comforts and privileges of modern life to agricul tural sections should be encouraged. Community social centers, better roads, union high schools, development of so cial, intellectual, educational, moral and religious facilities are all necessary j to maximum development of the agricul j turnl section. Rural Markets. There is great nc-ossity. by educa tional campaigns or otherwise, of en couraging the establishment of co-operative manufacturing and marketing NO TIME FOR TRIFLING; I MET A FELLOW BACK oTHERE WHO OWES MEVIEN DOLLARS . HERE'S YOUR MONEY, BILL" HE SAY? HAMG OMTO IT UliTIL I COME BACK". SAYS i:! IN A nuwY io GET A.PACK OF PIEDMONTS; M r lIpT VCW SI coupon in ' agencies for all farm products, so that they can be put under a common name or trado mark that will designate them as Willamette valley products. Legislation. There is great necessity for closer at tention on the part of commercial org anizations to both state and national legislation. A strong, organized, central organization would exert tho maximum of influence. Community Advertising. A strong central organization could advertise the Willamette valley as a unit more practically than each individ ual club. Marked economies could be effected in tho publication of advertis- ing literature. uulizattott or Home Frottucts. There is great opportunity to encour age the use of agricultural aud nuiiui faetured products produced in tho val ley, which are being shipped in from other sections. At the present time there are numerous standard articles consumed in the valley which arc being shipped in from other sections; while at the same time homo products exactly similar are being shipped to other sec tions and not utilized at home. There should be more encouragement for out side capital, and tho establishment of more co-operative concerns for the util ization of our by-products, and the sav ing nnd manufacture of our natural re sources for consumption at home and abroad. Valley Emblem. A suitable emblem or trado mark might be worked out which can be used on every letter or piece of literature sent from the "valley, thereby making every individual living hero an adver tiser for our locality. Other Functions. There are other problems local to this valley that can be solved, and functions that can be performed by a central organization representing the commer cial, agricultural and industrial inter ests of the valley. FANNY WARD AT YE LIBERTY EIGHTY YEAR OLD CHIEF GOING ON WAR PATH Phoenix, Ariz., Veb. 8. Lashed into a fury pf hate against tho whites by j Chief Bzoshe, 80 year-old tribal leader, I the Navajo Indians in northern Arizona j today aro prepared to go on the wur-; path.

As all roads are heavy with snow, transport :ation of troops to the scene would be very difficult, ne cessitating a march of 150 miles from the railroad. Chief Bzosho is the Indian who stir red up tho last Navajo uprising. II" was induced to surrender by General Scot I, w ho penetrated the hostile coun try accompanied by but one aide.

While flood waters roared dangerously past Akansas City today, citizens there were optimistic, that strengthened lev ees would hold back the threatened destruction. The floods have already spread ruin in more than 15 towns, tak ing a toll of 17 lives and wiped out thousands of dollars worth of property, leaving hundreds upon hundreds homeless.

BUILD NEW WARSHIP Vallejo, f 'al., Feb. 7 The keel for the 1,110 ton 30 -knot destroyer Shaw was laid today at the Mare Island navy yard, and it is expected she will go clown the way? in four months. The Shaw is the first modern warship to be built here, and she will be about the equal of any European ship of the same fvpe now afloat. ACID STOMACHS Fanny Ward, the celebrated Ameri can actress, will be seen at Ye Libeitv today, tomorrow and Thursday, in the Jesse L. Laskey production of Hector Tiirnbull's thrilling society drama, "The Cheat." It is a Paramount, picture. Miss Ward mado such a pronounced success as the little country girl in "The Marriage of Kitty," that lier friends were under the impression she was essentially a comedienne, but in "The Cheat" unothcr side of her won derful versatility is shown and she ! commands great admiration for her wonderful dramatic force and tech niipie. ! Sessue Hayakawa, tho distinguished Japanese nrtist, who mado such a pro nounced success playing opposite Blanche Sweet in "The Clue," again gives one of his finished performances opposite Fanny Ward. Mr. Huyukawa is considered one of the most eminent artists on the Japanese stage nnd those who hate seen him in this country can readily observe why he merits the con sideration. Hector Turn Lull, the play wright, wrote "The Client" especially for Miss Ward and Mr. Jlavakawa, and it is wife to sav that it will be one of the must thrilling and unusual photo dramas ever seen on the screen.

This in turn is due about nine times out of ten to excessive acidity, commonly termed sour stomnch or heartburn, whii h not only irritates and inflames the delicate lining of ' the stomach but also may set up gastritis nnd in a large majority of cases gastric ulcers are accompanied by hyperacidity. It is interesting to note that he con demns the use of patent medicines, and practically all medical treatment that is designed to act upon the stomach linig, stating that the best results are obtained by the us of a simple antacid which acta upon the contents of the stomach and neutralizes the acidity of the food thus removing the source of the trouble. As an antacid he prescribes ordinary bisurated magnesia and snvs that irritating medicines and medical treatments are useles-s, so lone as the contents of tho stomach remains acid; remoe the acidity and there will he no need for medicine the inflamed linina of tho stomach will then heal itself Sufferers from acidity, sour stomnch and heartburn should get a small bottle of Visum ted ninenesia from their drnp P'd.
