"And in order to effect; econo my any of the contracting powers may use for this purpose any two of their ships whether already constructed or in course of con struction which would otherwise be scrapped under the provisions of this treaty." I Capital Ships Limited Another paragraph of tee trea ty of importance is that relating to the conversion of vessel which ! reads textually as follows: j "Clause 3. (Second part for rules for- scrapping vessel$) Not more than one capital shin may; be retained for these purposes by any of the contracting powers. ' Of tne capital ships which would otherwise be scrapped by this- treaty in and after the year iz,. France and Italy may each retain" two sea-going vessels Jor training purposes and especially either gunnery or torpedo schools. trance and Italy respectively un dertake to remove and destroy their conning towers and not use such ships as vessels of war."

NEW TESTIMONY IS HEARp IN TODD CASE (Continued from page 1) their breath, for a few minutes, Is one of the definite plans. Jr, Omroo. is Typical The speaker said that there is Jnow close to $300,000,00 worth! or money ana seennues in ine Oregon banks, on only about $20. 000,000 of which taxes '-are paid; while the farms of the state oav on $327,000,000 and are loaded! to death. The bureau expects o get out a questionnaire this year, on thej vital questions of financing the) farms, on freights, on tax reduc-j tion, on tax equalization, and ask! every candidate for public office ' to declare himself on these issues. Luncheon Served The Sunnyside women served a gorgeous country luncheon at the i close of the meeting; with eleven! kinds of pie and lots: of every i kind, with sandwiches,; cakes, cof- . fee and enough good food to foun der a regiment. The guests from all over the county certainly showed their appreciation of the hospitable Sunnysiders. The old Sunnyside echool house, that has i stood there for something like 0 ! years if reports be correct, is to be replaced by a far larger, more modern, structure, and the old one kept for a community ha'l, but the i new one will never have a finer array of pies and goodies than that served last night, though the new one lives to rot down and blow away.

William McGilchrist, Jr., testi fied that the first he heard of Byron's criminal record was through the press. He also said that Todd told him Byron car ried a handy pardon in his pocket in case of trouble and regardless of court action, Byron could not be placed in Jail. McGilchrist al so testified tnat Todd admitted receiving $100 for every timber claim contract. McGilchrist said that both he and Walter Winslow 1 had advised Todd that the timber claim business was shady. Walter Winslow, upon being questioned by Todd's attorney, denied that he had said that Todd was innocent. As to why he had not taken special precautions in buying the timber claim, Winslow said that he had implicit faith in Todd and believed him when Todd said Byron was worth a million dollars. In Winslow's testlraony there was new evidenceThis was when he KaToTHhat following the first trialj Todd16 told Winslow that his Aestimony was Just as kings nad really happened. RojShields told of how he had refused to buy a claim which Todd had offered him and how later it j was sold to Lee Canfield, Many Salem' witnesses are re turning home each day and it is thought that the case will be giv en to the Jury at least by this afternoon or Saturday morning. ANOTHER WORLD RECORD COW IS IN PROSPECT (Continued from page 1) SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 19, Slight damage to. young- fruit trees ana nursery stock, as a re suit of the cold of-rthe last 43-jnealth and condition. nonrs at various points in th Sacramento and Joaquin valleys was anticipated tonight. by offic ials of the statp department of agriculture.

There can be no return of pros perity until the farmer's 'condi tions are improved, William Jen nings, Bryan said here today in addressing a joint session of the general assembly. "In all my ex perience I never have known the farmer to be in so bad a shaped' continued Mri Bryanf adding that the farmer was "the firs; person picked on." I ; The present congress, said the speaker, is no better or worse than ! the preceding congress, but he declared r it is worse ' scared because of the pressure brought by farmers. I Representation of farmers, laborers and a non-banker businessman in the federal re serve board was urged. the "present and past: world's tchamplon with 1040 pounds She could fall Tour pounds per month, below this last monthly record, and still win the world's title. As the cow Is in .perfect and her owner has just started to mil four times a day which tends to increase the production material ly by relieving the udder strain, "the greatest cow in the world" is a title easily within sight for this Willamette valley wonder. Hewitt Farms Famous The holder of the world's rec ord for a senior yearling, 82a pounds of butterfat, produced by St. Mawe's Lad's Lady, was also bred by the Hewitt farms, and sold to the present owner, Harry Iliff of Independence. It seems to run in the blood. Pickard Brothers of Marlon county, almost within gunshot or the Independence breeders who are making such a bid for this record, are the owners of two of the four Jerseys that Bave come close to the present record. Their Vive La France and Lady Silken Glo "ware within ounces of the top Lady Silken Glow, with a yearly test completed only a few weeks ago-, being fourth in yearT ly production, with only a little more than a pound less than the champion. But only sickness or s6me unforseen accident can pre vent the new cow from topping tha whole world. Rntterfat Is Itasin , It should be noted that these Jersey records are all figured on the basis of butterfat. and com mercial butter. Butter, as made and sold, contains 25 per cent more weight of liquids, so the ac tual butteryield of a 1040-pouni Jersey cow would be exactly 1200 pounds. As the average butler yield of the dairy cows of the United States, figuring all the cows that are being milked for domestic, use, is figured by the department of agriculture .is ap proximately 160 pounds, it isn't hard to see where one of these Oregon Jersey champions would really be worth owning for the saving in stable room and pas ture and time to feed.
