Weed Good for Madeline

Marshfield, Or.-N. Shoemaker, a
German scientist, has been making his
home at Sumner for the past several
months, and in that time has been
manufacturing digitalin from fox
glove, which is abundant in that neigh
borhood. All the boys in the neighbor-
hood are making circus money by gath
ering the poisonous weed for the Ger
man, who has enlarged his operations
and asserts he is extracting valuable
properties from the weed,
which heretofore was not considered to
have any commercial value.

No Slump in Produce Market.

Tacoma-There was no slump in the
produce market as result of jobbers
loading up with the expectation of q
railroad strike and high prices when it
opened Tuesday after being closed two
days. None of the Tacoma jobbers
overloaded, although all had good stocks
on hand when they opened. The ar
rivals were heavy, especially in canta-
loupes and peaches, including several
cars of Elbertas. Ebertas are now rs
cents a box and dealers are advising
housewives to make their preserving
peace purchases now. as the price will
likely not drop any lower. The short
age of the crop and heavy Eastern de-
mand is responsible for the high price
this year.
Although beef prices dropped half a
cent a pound on the opening of the
market, pork and mutton advanced
from half cent to 2 cents pound.
Dressed hogs advanced from 12a to 14s
cents a pound, and Diamond T. C.
lambs from IA to 16 cents pound.
Hog products in the East have ad-
vanced heavily during the past month
and the result is being felt here.
Heavy export trade is thought to be
as there is no shortage in
the hog crop in the Middle West. Nut
ton, because of high prices last spring,
caused heavy selling of the parent
stock, with the result that there were
fewer 1916 lambs than there other
wise would have been.
Egg and butter prices opened un-
changed. Cheese shows strong ten
iency to advance and the price may be
cent higher all around by the end of
The week.

REPUBLICANS CARRY MAINE, WITH
4 REPRESENTATIVES, 2 SfNATORS

Portland, Me. Maine Republicans
reinforced by returning Progressives,
won signal victory at the election
Monday.
They elected governor, an auditor,
two United States senators and four
representatives in congress and, wrest-
ing control Of the state house of repre-
senatives from the Democrats, will be
able on joint vote of the legislature to
elect the other state officers not chosen
by popular vote.
Carl E. Milliken led his ticket, de-
feating Governor Oakley C. Curtis,
who sought reelection, by plurality
of approximately 13, 900.
The Republican drift extended to
county officers, the greater number of
counties choosing Republican county
attorneys and sheriffs. These offices
are important locally because the hold
ers are charged with enforcing the
prohibition law.
The vote was heavy, as had been ex-
pected, for the campaign had been
waged with a determination not seen
in recent years. The country was
searched out for speakers of national
prominence and the greater number of
these battled on national issues. The
fight was particularly hot for the two
United States senatorships and the
four places held by Maine in the lower
house at Washington. National de-
'ense, the tariff and the eight-hour law
or railroad men loomed large in the
'peeches.
