SAYS GERMANS SEEK PEACE.
Writer Details Hope of People War
Will Have Speedy End.
New York TimeS)

That the vast majority of he Ger
man people is anxious to have the
German government enter into peace
negotiations ut once is the assertion
made by the British correspondent of
the Acknowledging of Vienna, in Il
war anniversary article that was pass
ed by both the German and Austrian
Censors, to the great establishment Of
the London newspapers that quote it
show the war WEAKNESS existing in
Germany.
The war began, says the corrcspon-
dent, as a war of the peoples ~
sort of fury seized upon call heads,
which were not strong in international
understanding. 1t wasaf renzy! Nay,
a madness" Mutual fear and suspic-
ion had become excited to fever mitch.
Through popular passions the war
had the character or Il war of the
peoples" 1t no longer has that char
acter, he declares and continues:
"'Thc longer the war has lasted the
more it has become Il war of States.
One could have prevented the war if
only one had the peoples on ones
side. One can only bring the war to Il
close before its natural cndi. C., uni
versal exhaustion-if in this matter
one has the States on ones side. That
is the problcm the pacific portion of
the peoples have to impose their will
upon the States ut time when the
peoples as such do not exist for the
State.
"At the head of the States stand
the statesmen, the Governments.
These must keep the war going for
they fear for their own futures un,css
they bring home victory ATE such
nan cless sacrifices. What is to &c
cone? Tho machinery of the State
would crush it in the germ.
What then remains? Nothing hnt
steady work vnich sets itself to con-
vert the general will for peace into
3Ich II will on Tie part Of the STAGES.
$50 far as obstacles to peace exist
in Germany, we must unite all our
strength to sweep them away. The
annexation enthusiasts are misjudg-
ing the reality of things, and are do
ing harm where they wish to do use
full service. They do not nosscss the
decisive influence for which they are
striving, but it is urgent that they
should be suppressed still further"

Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty.
That is because they neglect the liver
and bowels. Keep your bowels regu-

NORTH hound

But from one source or another come
hints that the German and Irish.Amer
leans do not find in Mr.. Hughes can
didate entirely after their own hearts.
Thus st. Louis dispatch to the New
York World quotes local German
American newspaper as saying:
cit was expected on his first trip
that Mr.. Hughes would express himself
clearly as to his stand concerning the
international trade-laws imperiled by
the English--the robbing of the mails,
the British disregard of the presidential
dignity, etc. However, nothing definite
has come from his sphinxlike laughing
lips. There must be reason. Is he
afraid of the man behind-Roosevelt
Owing to these facts it would be very
desirable if Mr.. Hughes would declare
himself. If he fails to do so he gives
proof that he lacks the moral courage
to honor the truth. One cannot expect
of the GermanAmerican that he should
give such man his vote. Withhold
your vote in as far as the election of
president is concerned probably will he
the watchword.'

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachina Tube. When
this tube is iDflamed you have a rum.
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
10 its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of deaf.
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur.
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood ON the mucous surfaces Of the
system.
We viii give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

ROOSEVELT WANTS WAR.
(woodburn Independent, Rep.)

(Woodburn Independent, Rep.)
This year congress has appropriated
$64O, 100000 for the army and navy
We are spending $I0O,OO0,O0O more for
preparedness this year than the annual
appropriation for army and navy Of
any nation on earth prior to the Euro
pean war. The plan for next year is
an increased appropriation of $780,
100000, making a total Of $S00,0O0,-
600. This is what Roosevelt has been
demanding, and now he wants war
1t is altogether likely he wants to de-
feat Hughes so that either he or Root
will be the nominee in 1920, knowing
that if Hughes is elected he would be
renominated beyond doubt.

LUMBER AND WOODWORKING.

Members of the Western Pine Man.
ufacturers' association during August
shipped 1926 cars containing 103,696,-
900 feet of lumber, according to the
report of the association issued this
week. The shipments in August,
1915, were 4,OS9 cars, containing 1O1,-
10000 feet. The cut for the month

feet, as compared with 111,9O1, 900
feet in August, 1915.
Henry Good has been awarded a
contract by the Somers Lumber Co.
OF Kalispell, Mont, which calls for
the delivery into the Saltwater river
of 10O,0O0,OOO feet of sawlogs and the
making of approximately 100000 rail-
road ties, delivery to be completed
within the next five years. This
amount of timber will be cut from
the forests in the Tally lake region,
extending east to within six or seven
miles of Whitefsh, and Mr.. Good
stated that work on the construction
of camps would be begun Immediate
ly, and that he expected to cut near
2O,O0O,OO0 feet of logs within the next
year. This giant contract will mean
the employment of 200 men in the
woods and the operation of eight or
ten logging and tie camps.

Latest Styles in Hosiery.

This is to be one of the strongest
seasons for hosiery to match the
gowns that we have had for some
time, says a woman hosiery buyer for
a large New York house, who is one
of the most experienced in her line in
that city.
Fancy colored shoes are about run
out, I think, and we shall have gray,
black and white slippers, with stock
ings to match the colors, and with
them silver and gold and bronze. The
latter in silk will match slippers in
those colors, and the gold and silver
cloths and laces to be seen in the win
ter frocks.
We will also have inserts of metal
laces, silver and gold, set into the no.
siery. Real lace inserts Of white we
always have to go with gowns upon
which much lace is used.
Prices in silk stockings have in
creased 10 per cent, but they will be
worn by practically every one, as they
have been now for some years. The
number of silk stockings worn prob.
ably has trebled in the last five or six
years.
