WASHINGTON,- April -7. Final
determination was reached today by
Republican leaders In the house to

state of war with Germany at an end.
A special rule reported today by the

of the resolution may offer only a

of American prestige and honor.

State Wins Many Records
Speaking of the remarkable show

Jerseys. D. Brooks Hogan, manager
of the Ladd Stock-farm near Port

"Oregon has produced S.6 per
cent of all the Jerseys In the Regis

entire breed that-have made over
600 pounds fat. This one fact is
all that is needed to prove the quai
