This is the first time this year that

recent rains brought it out again, but
along with the other vegetation has
come the peculiar weed.

CASE TO BE CONTESTED
Pi
Gd.
I
Woman Says She Knew of Xo New
Proceedings to Revoke Prevl
' ous Court Order for
Child's Care.
When Mrs. Grace Everson, divorced
wife of Fred L. Everson. Portland
lawyer, went to the Sheriffs office at
Oregon City yesterday in order to be
Berved with papers restraining her
from taking her 6-year-old daughter
away, from this city, she was told that
not all the legal documents had been
filed and that they could not grant
her request. She is, therefore, still
awaiting service.
Mrs. Everson, who was brought back
from Woodland, Wash., Wednesday
night, when Mr. Everson discovered
she had taken their little daughter
and started for Seattle, is widely
known in Portland. She was formerly
Miss Grace Potter and among other
positions held by her, was private sec
retary to Joseph Simon when he was
Mayor, and, clerk in the office of
United States referee in bankruptcy,
when Chester G. Murphy had charge
here. She was in the Mayor's office
at the latter end of Mr. Simon's regime.
The Eversons were divorced at Ore
gon City more than five years ago,
Mrs. Everson filing the. papers. She
lived in Seattle for a year, but for
four years she has been a resident of
Los Angeles, being employed as a title
.writer by the Universal Film Company.
Custody of Child Arranged,
When the divorce decree was granted
the custody of the child was left open,
'but last June, Mrs. Everson says. Judge
Campbell, of Oregon City, entered a
decree which gave "the daughter into
the custody of the mother, with the
exception of not to exceed two months
during the vacation period, when she
was to be with her father. The child
was brought to Portland by Mrs.
Everson the latter part of July this
year and given over to the father, who
kept her the full two months, accord
ing to Mrs. Everson.
"When it was whispered to me that
Mr. Everson intended to keep the child
I came to Portland to get her at the
expiration of the two months allowed
by the court," said Mrs. Everson yes
terday. "I had no legal knowledge that
any new proceedings had been begun
In court, and, feeling fully Justified
and within my rights and the stipula
tions of the court, I went to the school
my daughter was attending. I saw
her as she was going to the home of
Mr. Everson's cousin, with whom she
had been living. She ran to me and
I simply took her, intending to go to
the home of a Seattle friend. This
friend, by the way, was to have been
the one to return my little girl to me
at Los Angeles at the expiration of the
time limit originally fixed, by the
court.
"I wish it to be known that at all
times I exercised only what I believed
in good faith were my legal rights;
that I did not know of new court pro
ceedings when I took my child away
from th oitv. and. as a matter of fact.
I have not been served, yet with the
documents in the new case filed to
Teotmin me from taking my aaugnter,
although I called at the Sheriffs of-

"When I was informed of the new

here to face the case. I could not

the warrant issued on a kidnaping

at all times willingly obeyed court
orders and shall continue to. but I
wish my case understood as it i- 1

recently filed by Mr. Everson, having

effort that may be made to deprive me

MILK AFFECTED BY WEED
Cows Feeding on Lowland Pastures
Make Trouble for Dairymen.
A peculiar weed or grass growing on
pasture land which was overflowed by

weed flavoring the milk of cows graz
ing there.

complaints from milk users about the
unpleasant flavor of the milk. It has
a peculiar nauseating, fishy taste, it

For Burning Eczema j
Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 35c, or $1.00 for
extra large size,- get a bottle of zemo.
When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and
heals skin -troubles, also sores, burns,
wounds and chafing. It penetrates, cleanses
and soothes. Zemo is a dean, dependable
and inexpensive, penetrating; antiseptic
liquid. Try it, as we believe nothing you
have ever used is as effective and satisfying.
