farmers to give the weeds a good start

Decorative evidence that headquar
ters for patriotism are up at Dr. Dell's
residence, will not be disputed by any
one chancing to pass that way. Dr.
Dell springs from an ancestry of mili
tary men, and as he expresses it, he is
"just bubbling over with patriotism."
His expression of loyalty, comm. emo
rative with the spirit of the times, is
evidenced in the construction of a mon
umental tribute to his country's cause.
With palate and brush he has produced
on canvass a picture that appeals to
the public eye. It is surmounted by
flags, toy soldiers, cannon, etc, the
whole collection being placed on a con
spicuous plot in bis lawn.
Makers of dairy butter, who sell the
product directly to consumers come
under the purview of the Act which
September 1, 1917, makes it unlawful
for selling for human consumption any
milk or milk products from cows that
have not passed 'the tuberculin test,
unless such milk shall have been pas
teurized. The Act provides that milk
from cows whose owner or lessee shall
apply to the State Livestock Sanitary
Board to have such cows tuberculin
tested shall be exempt from all provi
sions of the act until such time as the
cows shall have been tested. Applica
tion! should be made to Dr. W. H.
Lytle, State Veterinarian, Salem, Ore-goo,
Helix Advocate: Charles Poffenberg
and Miss Ethel Brown were married in
Pendleton at the Christian church last
Tuesday by the pastor. Rev. Hubble.
Charles was certified up to the district
board by the local exemption board for
service in the national army. He is a
fine specimen of manhood and will not
ask for exemption. His wife says she
will go with him as far as she can,
and then endeavor to support herself
while her husband is gone. With such
national consecration as this the United
States is bound to win. May the war
be short and Charles and Ethel's matri
monial life be long and happy. ,
23 Years Ago,
I from the Press ot Sept. 14 1894
J. P. O'Brien, of Portland. General
Superintendent, and the General Road
master of the O. R. & N. were in
Athena about an hour Wednesday morn
ing. They were met at the station by
our enterprising townsman, C. A.
Barrett. They expressed great sur
prise at the magnitude of the business
done at this station. They assured
Mr. Barrett that when it was in their
power to assist Athena in any way they
certainly would do so. ,
The low price of wheat has a decided
impulse to the stock business, especial
ly hogs. Many of our farmers are now
turning their attention to raising hogs,
who formerly engaged in wheat raising
exclusively. They find that they can
realize a better price for their wheat
by feeding it, thai? by Belling it for ex
port, as they bave been doing hereto
fore. L. M. Huson's entire threshing out
fit went up in smoke in the Cold Spring
country north of Pendleton Saturday
last. The machine had been running
but a short time when an explosion was
heard and so rapidly did the flames gain
headway that all efforts to save the
machine were of no avail.
E. A. Dudley's wheat which was
sown some weeks since is reported to
be coming up nicely. This shows that
there is plenty of moisture in the
ground yet, and rain is not needed to
bring up the grain as is usually the
case this time of the year.
D. A. Hendricks, late editor of the
Inland Republican has been seriously
thinking of again branching out in the
journalistic field. If he can secure an
office room and dwelling he will pro
bably locate in Weston.
Al. Wilson, a son in law, of A. P.
Woodward, came in from the Sound
on Tuesday evening's passenger with
the remains of his little child, which
he brought for interment in the
Athena cemetery.
Frank Robbins, who has been thresh
ing in this section started yesterday
with his outfit for the Palouse country.
Since the opening of the "gallon
house" near the corporate limits of
Weston the boys have been holding
high jinks; and there has grated on the
sanctimonious ears of Weston's law
abiding citizens, sounds of revelry by
night, and in some instances, in the
daytime also.
SCRIBBLERS NOTES
The summer is past and the harvest
is ended and millions of bushels of as
fine a quality of wheat as was ever
produced, is aacked, ready for the
market. The price is steadily advan
cing. Already gilt-edged No. 1. is
quoted at 38c, and some enthusiasts
with populistic tendencies pretend to
think that before the season closes, the
price will jump up to 80c. Show me
the man who said the Chinese war
wouldn't affect the price of wheat, and
I'll show you a man chuck full of
prunes. Hold your wheat.
Parsons and Ostium went fishing last
Saturday afternoon. Their catch con
sisted of a string of 10 or 50 as fine a
lot of suckers as ever nibbled a hook.
Jinks Taylor has a pet in the shape
of a boil on the side of his head, to
which he devotes considerable atten
tion. Should it keep on increasing in
size, he will be wearing two hats soon.
Last Saturday the east bound freight
train set fire to a stubble field west of
town, but thanks to the prompt action
of Hugh McArthur, Billy Gholson and
four other Chinamen, the flames were
extinguished before doing much dam
age. Echoes From Co. E.
When Oscar joined the army, he had
ideas of his own;
Though he believed in the tradition
that, "Ye reap as ye have sown."
He always had been lucky and got by
with little tilings;
Such as stealing watermelons and pass
ing up three Kings."
But OHcar has grown wiser now, he
knows without a doubt,
That he'll get confined to quarters if
he don't watch out.
They do not mind your drinking sody
pop and water straight;
You can get in when you want to if
you c'oVt stay out too late.
If you lose a watch or dollar, you must
keep the secret well;
Or else some guy will holler and the
whole camp catches hell.
If you start to kiss your sweetheart
you will hear somebody shout:
"You'll get confined to quarters if you
don t watch out.
We may revel in the laughter that
good whiskey drinkers know,
But we find the morning after that its
but a fleeting show.
And we crave a drink of water, 'cause
its wet and 'cause its cold;
As we quote the good old adage: "All
that glitters is not gold."
Then we're called Into the office and
the captain's eyes are hard
As he says: "Ten days in quarters
K. P. Duty call the guard."
O this world is full of trouble, full
of sorrow, full of pain;
Life is but an empty bubble and all
earthly joys are vain.
But there's one great consolation that
has soothed our aching hearts
Soon we'll get our transportation to
make war in foreign parts.
And while we are fighting Germans in
the Land of Saur Kraut,
We will want to lie in quarters, so we
won't watch out.
