SEPT. 24 1915 College attendance In America may show a slight falling 09 tbe coming year, owing to the nureat and unoer taintr arising Irom tbe possibility of this government beooming directly in volved in tbe war. Dr. Charles Frank lin Ihwing, io aa artiole In tbe De troit Free Pieee, expressee tbe feat that tbe (Dooming claEsei may be ' somewhat lessened, and that active and aggressive plans for tbe enlarge ment of tbe courses of lnstrnottoo, of endowments and general oollege facil ities may be limited, Notwithstand ing, however, these possibilities, tbe ' two great elements which oonstltnte tbe higher ednoation are not in peril of being seriously affected in this ooon try. That great and ever increasing part of tbe higher ednoation, known as research will still go forward, In laboratory and library scholars will continue to pnrsoe their vooatlon of seeking for, disoovering and publish ing what teems to be tbe trntb. In deed the war may promote tbe culti vation of this Held. For scholars wbo in times of peaoe wcnld have gone to Uermany or France oi England will stay at home ; and other aobolara too may oome from foreign parts to par goo their Investigations in tbe univer sities of America. How wonld yon like to beoompelled to go or send to some other town or city every time yon want a paper of pins, or a spool of thread, or a saott of totaooo? 'Twoold be a fiigbtfnl uni aanca, wouldn't it? And von wouldn't want to live io snob a grave yaid town, anyway, wonld vou? Acd yon wonld feel jost like telling yonr farm or town property and going to some place with a little life, wouldn't yon that is if yon COULD sell, and if anybody else was foolish euongb to want to settle down and iurest iu a "dead bole." Now, do yon think it is jost a fair proposition even to yonr own Interest as a propeity owner to make a convenienoe of tbe loaal dealer when you wuu.t pins or a smoke, and then send jour trade tbat is worlb having away to corns galoot wbo does u't oare whether von live or die, just (0 lcug as he gets your money?

FIX eSt RADTKE THE "MONEY BACK STORE," ATHENA, OREGON THE fIRST NATIONSBANK Of ATHENA Uono to'Lhe Kouod-Up. Null (Jed. V.-E. P. RIPLEY On Relatione of Rallroeds and People The industrial leaders ot this nation are talking to the public tnce to face through the columns ot this paper. The time was when If a corporation had anything to say to tbe people they sent a hired hand, whispered it through a lawyer or employed a lobbyist to ex plain It to the legislature, but the men who know and the men who do are now talking over the fence to the man who plows. vi When the leading business men of this nation got "back to the soil" with their problems, strife and dissension will disappear, tor when men look In-. to eneb other's faces and smile there Is a better day coming. Mr. IS. P. Ripley, presldont of the Banta Fe Railroad, when asked to give his views In reference to relations ex isting between the railroad and the. public Bald In part: "Frequently we hear statements to the effect that those relations are Improvtug, that the era of railroad balling haa passed and tbat publlo sentiment now favors treating the rail roads fairly. As yet this change In publlo sentiment, If any buc!i there be,' Is not effective In results. It Is true that In the legislatures) ot the southwestern slates during the, past winter there were frwer unreae onnhlo and unreasoning lawa passed thnn usual, hut a consideration of ihe hostile bills Introduced shows that llinro Is still reason (or much dining even though they were defeated by more or loss of a majority. Moreover, the Idea that the railroads liavo been harBlily treated dries not seem to prevail In the offices of the State Railroad Commissions which siwm to ohorlBh uotloijthat their business Is not to act aa an arbitrator between the rallroadB and the people, but which proceed on the theory that the railroads are able to take care of themselves anil that their dut;,- la to act as attorney for the people even though In ao dolus they deny Justice to the railroads. It requires no argu ment to demonstrate that the rail roads aro entitled to Justice equally with other cltlrcns aud taxpayers. That Ihoy have not received It and are not receiving It Is perfectly sus coptthle of proof. That they have practically no recourse In the courta bas slso been determined. The situation therefore Is that the people, through their representatives, must elect whether the services of the railroads shrill be adequately com pensated or not; and It requires .no fortune teller or soothsayer to predict ,n It.
