The junior Lewis Van Winkle,
who is engaged with his brother in
- potato fanning on Pine creek above
town, was regretfully compelled to
include a runaway Monday among
his agricultural experiences and vi
cissitudes. The team charged into
a barbed wire fence, and both
horses were quite badly cut up.
Athena Thursday afternoon bv Rev.
Clarence O'Brien, a former Wes- . A. Leonard,
ton boy, son of R. M. O'Brien, has
been awarded a commission as
first lieutenant in the aviation sec
tion of the Signal Corps, and is now
' - stationed at San Antonio, Texas.
He received his training m Georgia.
The news of his success was con
tained in a letter received this
week by his cousin, Robert Reyn
olds. W. O. Read was brought to his
home near Athena Saturday even
ing, following the fire at the Walla
Walla hospital. A trained nurse is
in constant attendance upon him,
and it was reported this week that
his conidtion is quite encouraging.
He was worse Sunday, but next day
a change for the better was noted,
and his family and friends are now
hopeful of hia early recovery.
; The new steel bridge has been fin
ished at Mission on the Umatilla
river and the outfit is now at work
on the Thorn Hollow bridge. It is
expected that this will be complet
ed and the road down Thorn Hollow
improved by the first of July. Aside
from the hauling utility of the
Thorn Hollow bridge, it will be a
. great boon to Weston people who
want to go to the Umatilla river
for an outing.
Taking advantage of the Red
Cross dance to ply his nefarious
trade, a bootlegger motored into
town Saturday night with a suit
case full of "forty-rod." Evidently
the stuff was home made, for ac
cording to reports it stung like a
serpent and bit like an adder. It
likewise bit like a subtracter, for
the city substracted considerable
coin from the purses of three cele
branta who imbibed not wisely but
too well. The name of the sus
pected bootlegger was whispered
about town, but positive proof of
fcU guilt to lacking.

The strength of the army of
our country lies in the fact
that it's made up of young
men; men who can endure
hardships, who can fight hard
and long; who come through
cheering.
Now, there's something like that about
clothes. All-wool fabrics fipht for you; they
save money for you; they make it possible to
wear your clothes longer, and they look
"cheerful" under all circumstances.
And that's one reason why
we sell Hart Schaffner & Marx
and Clothcraf t clothes. Smart
style, fine tailoring, correct fit
ting are other reasons for sell
ing these clothes; and they're
your reasons for buying them.

He was ever an active friend of

THE FIRST LONG PAfiTS
You know that awkward period in a boy's
life when he is neither a boy nor yet a man;
that sensitive period, made doubly so from
the fact that his clothes are not right-often
too young and many times too old. Why not
come to the relief of this splendid lad by buy
ing clothes that are becoming to his age; that
have youth, style and service; that will de
light the boy and please the parents? We
carry them in the famous Belmontas well as

Americans vs. Eons
American Headquarters on the
French Front In the simultaneous st
uck of three German raiding parties
against the American positions In
Picardy the enemy penetrated the
American first line to a depth of 200
yards.
A brilliant counter attack threw the
Germans out and the Americans kept
on until they had entered the enemy
first line, where they remained until
ordered back.
For a time there was fierce hand-to-band
fighting. The Germans took
one American prisoner, but other
forces pursued the enemy and recap
tared him.
