BREEDERS PUT UP $6250
Southern Cattlemen Appropriate
Fund for Local Stock Show.
The American Shorthorn Breeders'
association of Chicago has just appro
priated 16250 for their breeds at the
1S21 Pacific International livestock
exposition, according to word received
yesterday by O. Si. Plummer, secre
tary and general manager of the ex
position. The information came to
llr. Plummer from F. W. Harding,
general executive of the American
Shorthorn Breeders' association.
"When the Shorthorn association
gave (6250 last year at the very
height of livestock values, it was
thought it would be difficult for them
to maintain this standard." said Mr.
Plummer. "However, the appropria
tion for a like amount this year, with
livestock values not much over 50
per cent of the 1920 quotations, shows
their extreme confidence in better
breeding, and incidentally is a great
compliment to the Pacific Interna
tional. This appropriation is really
equivalent to one of $10,000 on last
year's basis.
"These breed association apropria
tlons are great factors in the up
building of the livestock industry all
over the country."

(special.) Oregon's delegation In con.
gress was memorialized by the legls
lature today to procure the enactment
of legislation which will provide
ships or cargo space for supplies for
the sufferers in China and the near
east. The memorial, which was
adopted under a suspension of rules,
first in the senate and later in the
house, was telegraphed to Washing-
luii tonignt.
wnen A. L. Mills unA Filnr T?
Piper, who are Interested in forward
ing supplies, discovered that under
government regulations it is impos-
oiuie ior me snipping board to assign
free space for food for the distressed
children of the near east and China,
tne situation was taken un with
President Ritner and Speaker Bean
ana tney took charge of a joint me
mortal to the congressional delega
tion to ODtain action.
It is somewhat unusual for. a 1oInt
memorial to go through the legisla
ture without even the formality of
uciuk reierrea to a committee, but the
necessity of the case was exnlalned
ana mere was not a dissenting voice,
.me memorial ioilowa:
"Whereas. The starving- un desti
tute condition of untold millions of
persons In China and the emmiiv
pioraDie Plight of many othen mil
lions of men, women and children In
tne nations of the near east have
been brought to the notice of the
friendly people of America; and.
wnereas. Philanthropic men and
women, working through various re
lief organizations, have undertaken
to procure from the bounty and
plenty of America money and food to
save the hungry and succor the dying
n the stricken and distressed coun
tries of the near and far east, and
have already obtained money and
upplies or the promise of them; and.
Whereas, The United States gov
ernment Is operating under the direc-
ion of its shipping board, a great
fleet of merchant vessels to various
parts of the world and among them
is a line of steamers maintaining
regular service on the route from
Portland to ports of north China and
return; and.
'Whereas, It is reported that under
the government regulations the ship-
ing board Is powerless to assign free
pace :n any of its vessels for the
transport of food and other supplies
to the impoverished, needy and help

VWhereas, The prosperous and 11b-
ral people of Oregon are ready to
donate for dispatch to China or the

tores of grain, flour, salmon, fruit
and other goods; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we appeal to con
gress for immediate emergency legiS'
tion wmcn will permit the employ-
ent of Its vessels In the great and
ecessary service of furnishing trans
portation of supplies to China or the

fully-laden vessels direct to the
ports of China or the near east or the
sslgnment of free space on the ves-
els of established lines; and
"Resolved, That we especially urge
he Oregon delegation in congress to
procure the enactment of such legis
anon.
President-elect Harding. Harding
himself won't make the new appoint
ment But it comes about through
the operation of rules and regulations
based on seniority and rank well
known to army men. Nevertheless,
politics is responsible for the change.
The "how" of it is this: The United
States senate has refused, at the be
hest of Lodge and others to confirm
the army nominations made by Fresl
cent Wilson. Three of the four gen
erals at Camp Lewis are affected by
this refusal. They are Major-General
Charles H. Muir. commander of the
fourth division and camp commander,
Brigadier-General George B. Duncan
nd Brigadier-General Henry D.
Todd.
The net result will be that on
March 4 the generals, although not
losing their jobs, the bane of the
worker in industry, will bear titles
as follows: Muir, brigadier-general
Duncan, colonel; Todd, colonel. These
were the ranks they held prior to the
beginning of the war with Germany.
The fourth brigadier-general. Rich
ard M. Blatchford, who was confirmed
in his rank before the war, is not af
fected. It is he, then, who will, as
the senior brigadier-general, take
charge of Camp Lewis upon the demo
tion of General Muir.

Vessel Was Seized.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. (By the As
sociated Press.) A German war plot
that failed was revealed today.
Four defective bolts, taken from
the machinery of the transport Mount

the Kronprinzessin Cecilie. the famous
"gold ship" that raced Into Bar Har
bor in the early days of the war
had been seized as a iroopsnip. m
German crew cut two-thirds of the
way through the four six-inch bolts
that connected tne engines

cuts remained hidden by the fittngs
of the engines and were Discover
only recently when the engines were
taken apart.
It is believed the bolts were left
barely holding with the hope that the
craft would creep into U-boat lanes
and fall prey to the undersea craft
when a strain on the engine came
with an order for full speed ahead.

BOYS RENEW SCOUT OATH
More Than 2 000 Local Lads Take
Pledge Again.
Rigidly at attention, with their
right hands raised in the Scout sign,
more than 2000 Portland Boy Scouts
in all parts of the city repeated aloud
the Scout oath at 8:15 o'clock last
night. This reaffirmation of the
Scout code was part of the programme
of national Boy Scout week, and the
ceremony last night was duplicated
by Boy Scouts in all sections of the
United States as a tribute to the 11th
anniversary of the founding of the
order in New York city.
Portland Scouts also observed
"mothers' day" yesterday. Every
Scout tried to do some good turn for
his or someone else's mother. Local
Scouts have a number of activities
scheduled during the rest of the
week.
The boy scouts' movement was out
lined before the Kiwanis yesterday
by James E. Brockway, Portland
scout executive.
"No boy scout of the first or second
class has ever appeared before a
juvenile court or any other court in
the United States, so far as our rec
ords show," said Mr. Brockway. "It
costs about $260 a year for every boy
who gets Into trouble with the au
thorities. It costs less than $9 a year
to keep a boy in scouting. Thus the
boy scout movement is a worth
while business proposition."
