jrtrrdjy were ordered trom the court
room ty the court. Mrs. Johnon Is
Pihtlni to resaln the custody of hr
l-yrar-old duhtr. Mabel, from the
custody of the Juvenile Court.
The hearing was brought to a close
yesterday afternoon after numerous
vitntHfi had been calli-d In behalf of
the Juvenile I'uurt and after John I
Intchbum. counsrl for Mrs. Johnson,
had produced a number of wttnea In
rebuttaL It was while Joseph I .a Mora
was amine his testimony as to how his
children had been taken from him by
the Juvenile Court, that the women In
the rear of the courtroom cheered o
loudly that they were ordered from the
room.
.rcery Ordera ( kssies.
Mis M. Chambers, a former employe
of the Juvenile Court, was the principal
witness against Mrs. Johnson yester
day. I-he testifled that Mrs. Johnson
had on a number of occasions changed
grocery orders In such a manner as to
secure more groceries than ordered and
allowed by the court. She admitted
that aside from that she had never
found anything wrong with Mrs. John
son's character, or the character of her
Children.
Mrs. It. K Bondurant. a social worker,
told of visiting the Johnson home on a
number of occasions and of her en
deavors to asxint the unfortunate wom
an and her four children. She said the
principal trouble was Mrs. Johnson'a In
ability to pay her bills and her apparent
unconcern regarding her financial mat
ters. She sal-l she had endeavored to
have Mrs. Johnson procure work more
than a year ago, but was unable to do
o. She said she had felt all along that
some day Cie court would be compelled
to take th two daughters. Mabel and
tiladys. from Mrs. Johnson. She said
he realized that It was a hard mat
ter for a mother U part with her chil
dren, but she felt It would be for the
best Interests of the children.
alldrea . Praprrly arrd for.
Similar testimony was given by Mrs.
A;ie rWrthwlrk. also a volunteer so
cial worker for the Juvenile Court. She
amplified her testimony with the asser
tion that the one time she visited the
Johnson home she found it to be un
tidy and the children not properly
cured for.
During the closing hour of the case
Mr. IMtrhburn was reading from the
Bible In his arguments In behalf of Mrs.
Johnson. At Its conclusion Judge Camp
bell remarked:
"I-ast week Judge Tsswrlt accused
Mrs. Johnson of being; an actress and
Mr. Pltrhburn said Judge Taxwell
should have been a hodrarrlrr. From
my observations now I am Inclined to
believe that Mr. I'ltrhburn missed his
calling when he failed to become a
preacher."
The court requested the attorneys to
submit briefs, and decision will be re
served until these writtvn arguments
are filed.

Dalrymea Meet at Amity to Coaalder
Problem That Breeding Up
Herds Haa Raised.'
AMITT. Or.. March 14. (Special.)
Representative dairymen ' of Yamhill
County met at Amity to consider the
Inability of the condensers at McMinn
ville and Amity to market their prod
uct and the effect of the ruling of the
purchasing board fo rth allied armies
in requiring -5.5 per cent of solids in
the condensed , product, with not less
than 3.7 per' cent butterfat: The ruling
makes no provision for taking or pay
ing for products containing a higher
percentage of butterfat.
Dairymen, farmers, bankej-s, mer
chants and condenser representatives
took part In the discussion and by
unanimous vote Dr. C. R. Matthls. of
Amity, was selected 'to go to Wash
ington to lay the matter before the
proper officials and try and obtain a
modification of the ruling so that the
dairymen of the Willamette Valley-will
not be put out of business.
For years the farmers have been
urged by the Department of Agricul
ture to breed up their herds with a
view to producing quality rather than
quantity, and now, with many herds
producing 4.5 to per cent milk, they
are told their product is too good, and
the Government can use only 3.7 per
cent of butterfat.
Dr. Matthls expects to leave imme
diately for Washington, an.; hopes to
have the assistance of President Kerr,
of the Agricultural College, who is on
his way to the capital.
SITKA SPRUCE IS RECEIVED
Fir-t Shipment of Alaskan Airplane
Timber at Seattle.
Alaska Iras contributed its first Sitka
spruce for use in the construction of
airplanes, a small cargo of 17,000 feet
of two-inch clear timber having ar
rived this week at Seattle, according
to advices received at the spruce pro
duction division of the Signal Corps, in
this city.
While Alaska is considered the home
of Sitka spruce some question exists as
to whether the wood produced in the
north is as acceptable as that grown in
Washington and Oregon. It has gen
erally been held that the Washington
and Oregon product is superior. If the
northern grown spruce is found fully
adaptable to airplane construction a
considerable supply can be added to
that gotten out in the Northwest.
AUDITORIUM IS RESERVED
