White Governor Walter Pierce recently appointed Wlllard C. Hatch as ai candidate for West Point. Thei entrance examinations will he held ! on March 1, 1927. Hatch took first place in a com petitive examination, which was participated in by nine other men from various national guard units. He is a sophomore at Wil lamette university and is 20 rears old. For 14 months be has bees a member of Company B, 162nd Infantry, and is a private first class. The attainment of Hatch speaks t well for the excellent training be ing given Company B of this city. The," company meets every Monday evening for drill, and receive pay for-each' drill. The officers of this company are: Paul F. Burris, 'captain; W. E. Vincent, first lieu tenant; H. G. Malson, second lieu tenant. Rumors have it that the en campment this summer will be at Gearhart, which will be a much . different camp than that of last year.

" ; v - In connection with the financ ing of the honeymoon and subse quent life of the couple together and after the wife lert the count on January 1, l!f 2 5, Conway asked Salm if it was Hot true'that he had not even paid for the "wed- ding ring. It was admitted that he bad not specifically paid for it, though he made an obscure state ment about its being a part of other jewels he presented to her. The count testified that he de sired the custody of his son Peter and was able to support him properly. or what s Hhe isttpreme moral Is .sue today, -as slavery was the su preme moral issue sixty years ago. "The last4 war left the world j bankrupt; the next war, will des troy civilization. The chemists and the engineers have fonnd the j answer to the problem to them by : the diplomats of how most effi ciently the nations 'can commit f wholesale, international suicide. The nw "odorless. Invisible poison gas, dropped from the sky, can make a populous city a desert in 24 hours. A people's only de fense is to beat the other fellow to it. Resolutions favoring an In ternational law outlawing gas are child's play. When a nation is fighting for its life it will use any means." COUNT CAN'T REMEMBER DATE OF HIS MARRIAGE (Continued from pae 1.) . - ' , f match. Soon after Count Salm went on the stand Albert Conway, counsel for the countess, asked him when he was married. The count seemed hay on the subject and Conway appealed to the judge to silence alleged "coaching" by plaintiff counsel. An argument ensued which seemed likely eo embroil all concerned in the case. "What was the date of your marriage?" Conway shouted, and the count leaned forward tensely In the witness chair, his face red with anger. don't know," he shouted back even louder than the ques tioner. -, The quizzing then turned to fi nancial matters and the count's momnrv nrnved eaual to the occa sion. He said that expenses im mediately after the wedding were defrayed with $2500 paid him by a tabloid newspaper for a series if articles run over his name on "How I wooed and won Millicent rtmrera " He said he did not write the articles, but authorized tte of' his signature as author tvith his wife's BDnroval. -, When that money was gone, he said, the remaining expenses of the" honeymoon on tne" niviera were defrayed with money fur nished by the bride, mis amount ed, as he. remembered it, to some f Ann' ' He also admitted under ques tioning that since his wife left him he never had done a day's work, living on between $10,000 and $12,000 she has given him. VMo she left him, he said she gave liim an automobile and de posited $2000 to his account, sending him other Bums later. The most heated clash of all came when Conway asked him if it was not true that a hotel bill he owed at the time of his marriage had been paid with the proceeds 'of bonds he- got from his wife and sold. The count misunderstood the lawyer to have said "stole" instead of "sold." ,, "What?" he screamed, start ing from the chair with blazing eyes. The lawyer retreated to ward the counsel table with pla cating gestures. "You didn't think I said 'stole AMERICANS HELD LIVING BUSY AGE COUNCIL TOLD (Continued from page 1.) guidance that we had. Men are so busy' agitating for better schools that they have no time to find out how their sons are get ting along in school. "Women are so absorbed In club life and better community life that they are too busy to know how their daughters spend their leisure time. We neglect the church." Colonel Raymond Robins, church economist, said "I believe within this generation we will out law the war system and make war a crime." The outlawry of way, by codifi cation of international law on the basis of peace rather than of war, is the solution, Robins declared. ' I Bits For Breakfast j j o , -o j The mint industry ! The boom is on still ' N mm "m And the acreage is to be doubled again next year, for Ore gon and Washington. We will have 800 acres, more than half of it in the Willamette valley. The mint industry in the coun try will likely be over done, and the prices may be worse before they are better. But. sooper or later, the great bulk of the peppermint oil will be produced in the Willamette valley, because we can produce more oil to the acre, a better oil, and on cheaper land; with less overhead. -m It is like a down hill haul: like water seeking its level.
