OREGON, MARCH 29, 1918 One week from tomorrow the Third Liberty Loan drive commences. The start will be made on the anniversary of the declaration o' war against Ger many by the United States. Umatilla county is thoroughly organized for the work of raising its quota. There will be no slackers. America's boys are in "the trenches "over there" and money is the easiest thing to give in helping to bring victory to American arms. Every potential subscriber!to the liberty loan will be rated. The committee which takes the subscrip tions will have your rating when it calls upon you and you will be expect ed to subscribe for the amount of bonds your rating calls for. The men comprising these committees are giv ing their time from their business av ocations to solicit the sale of those bonds, and to facilitate matters in reaching Athena's quota of the loan as soon as possible, after the drive starts you should be ready to take your portion when called upon to do so. There is to be no shirking of duty by any one. The Government must have the money it asks for, and it is up to those who have the money to in vest in the bonds, otherwise they will be slipped a yellow card, which will designate but one thing Slacker. Under that head, the names of all who do not respond will be published in every newspaper in Umatilla coun ty, as they are furnished by the county Publicity Committee. But Athena and the prosperous communities ad jacent, mUBi and will come through with a clean slate. There will be no slackers, whether financial or other wise, found here. The resolution adopted by the pub lishers of Umatilla county at Pendle ton last Saturday, and published in an other column of today's Press, serves notice that hereafter the barrage of publicity is to surround the pro-German sympathizer, the slacker and all other propoganda that serves in the least to interfere with America's par ticipation in the war. It is sufficient to say that the newspaper men of the country have access to the means of knowing that the time has arrived to take up the weapon of merciless pub licity in exposing all who do not sup port the Government in its war on Germa ly, from every angle of support the Government desires or requests. In the large centers of population, from the start of the war, the Govern ment has contended with 'subtle oppo sition springing from pro-German pro pogandists and German sympathizers. The ruuil districts, as a rule, have not been contaminated and they shall not become so, for organized publicity will safeguard them. The bombarding of Paris at a dis tance of 7tl miles, co-relativo with war aims, demonstrates merely an achieve ment of mechanical science. Were Paris obliterated, Prance still remains and su long as Prance remains, the cause of democracy will be held. Know ing this, fromja morale standpoint, it is doubtful if the new long range guns of Germany will have the desired effect even though it is possible for their p ojectiles to bo showered upon several coast towns of Knglam!. Along with other elements of na ture, the sup of Spring has warmed up the old misogynist over the hill. He rapped us with this one: "All the country editors in Umatilla county will meet in Pendleton tomorrow at the call of E. B, Aldricn, war drive pub licity chairman. We're going to see that Kernel Doyd is there, even if we have to buy his railroad ticket and pay for his meals -the latter being a wad's size job. The reverse is generally true of an ticipation. So it was with us in con juring up a mental tintype of the Iiulldogger ed. We had thought of him as being a man of huge frame, gnarled fists, hairy breasted, square shoulders, Frank-Gotch-neck and all that. But he isn't. Far from it. There is no middle ground to take in ti.is war, whether you are eligiblo for trench duty, Liberty Loan subscriber, Savings Stamp buyer, or Red Cross supporter--you are either with us or you are against us jmtriel or slacker. General Pershing has set aside cargo space on transports to the extent of 00 tons per month for reading matter for the American soldiers in France. Dig up a good book for them. Tbe war has added two noticable mediums of exchange in Athena greenbacks and war-biead recipes. Kernel Wood's deportment was above reproach at Pendleton Saturday that is, it was so long as wo were with him. 23 Years Ago From the Press 01 Mar. 29 1895 Arrangements are being made for a pigeon shoot in Athena in the near future. There are expected to be thirteen graduates from the Normal school at Weston this year. Their ages range from 1 7 to 22 years. Wm. Zigman and Flora Tucker re siding near Weston, were married last Saturday. John Froome was the lucky man to draw No. 20 in Echo tobacco, at the P. 0. store. It entitles him to a fine gold watch. The band now rehearseB three times a week Tuesdays, Fridays and Sun day afternoon. The valuable running mare Repetta, belonging to T. J. Matlock, died Mon day. This is a very heavy loss to Mr. Matlock. He was offered $12,000 for her in her palmy days. Weston's base ball aggregation will be rather weak this season. Pete Marsh, their crack pitcher, has accept ed the principalship of the Blalock public schools, and will not be with them this season. The diphtheria cases below town are getting along as well as could be ex pected. Mrs. Brown is able to sit up but Elmer is not getting along so well. His throat is paralyzed and he is un able to swallow. At C. W. Hollis' grocery department 100 pounds dry granulated sugar $5.25; 25 pounds beans $1.00; G-gallon can Pearl coal oil $1.20. Last Friday occurred the ROth birth day of Councilman E. R. Cox, and his niece, Miss Davis, invited a number of his Masonic brethren to dine with him. It was an enjoyable affair and each of the guests hope that Mr. Cox may see many happy returns of the day. A party of distinguished gentlemen incldingi E. V. Smalley, editor of the Northwest Magazine, St. Paul; W. D. Tyler, receiver of the W. & C. R. railroad; Capt. Wilder of Fort Walla Walla, U. S. A. and R. Green of the business department of the Northwest Magazine, visited Athena Sunday. They came by special train over the W. & C. R. road. The Press ac knowedges a most pleasant call. The hydrants have arrived and are Deing put in position. Farm Notes by Co. Agent. Farmers who have skilled farm hands of draft ago can get deferred classification for a time, provided such men are indispensable for the max imum production on the farm. The United States Employment Service announces that in the new draft for 00,000 men shortly to be called, farm ers with experienced help should file with the local Draft Board, an affidavit supported by two witnesses who will say under oath that they are acquaint ed with tho farm hand whose services are asked to be retained and that he is experienced and Indispensable to the maximum production of the farm on which he is employed. Do this at once before a Notary Public and file with the local Draft Board. This is not intended to help slackers or near slackers to avoid for a time the draft. It is for the sole purpose of increasing production. Farm hands of draft Sg should be made to under stand this. As soon as they are not so employed, the exemption is removed.

EXPLAINS LAUGH OF BABIES We Come Into This World of 8orrowe With a Mysterious Sense of Humor. The human love of nonsense Is a di vine mystery. We have often heard pessimists declare that we come Into the world weeping. It Is truer, I think, to sny that we come Into it laughing. For laughter In a baby seems to be Its first conscious apprehension of some thing outside Its small needs and pains. It may cry merely becuuse a pin is sticking Into it, but it laughs because already It sees something that makes it laugh, It knows not why, something that catches the eye or ear and seems Irresistibly funny to It. There Is nothing more mystdrlous than a baby's sense of hum. It fre quently loses It as it grows up, together with the other trailing clouds of glory, but most babies ure born with It. To satisfy It nursery rhymes were Invent ed, and to satisfy the same Instinct in grown peoplo "The Hunting of the Snark," that Incomparable classic, came into being, and Caverly and Gil bert and Lear stood on their heads, so to speak, and performed such verbal antics before high heaven as must havo made the very angels laugh. When the Owl and the Pussy Cat, having dined on mice and slices of quince, "hand In hand, on the edge of the sand," "dunce by the light of the moon," there Is something which, as Stevenson was fond of saying, delights the great heart of man. But, of course, with these modern artists of nonsense there Is usually a deliberate attempt at the grotesque and the absurd. We know why we are laughing, but with the old-fashioned rhymes of which I am chiefly, thinking, we laugh or, for that matter, cry, perhaps without having any reason to give.

A good housewife will look at least two square meals ahead of her nose. The modern system of marketing dur ing the high cost regime Is such a fine art that a youth contemplating matri mony should hie to the market place for selecting n bride. My boy, Zira advises In Cartoons Magazine, when you see a maiden pinching, smelling and pricing a soup bone, you may rely on her sense of economy, for she Is looking forward not less than two meals. The soup bone, when cooked, Is merely food In the rough or primi tive state. Its choicest by-products are realized after bouillon stage. Thereafter comes goulash, the cro quettes nnd the luscious hash. By all means avoid the girl who orders choice cuts of porterhouse or English mutton chops. She will not make a good help mate. But the girl wtio selects the chuck or neck pieces or the tall end of a ham bono, nnd renders them Into dainty, palatable dishes Is the one you want. So take my advice nnd seek the market place when you feel thnt you have had your fill of bachelor loneli ness nnd wish a taste of wedlock. Fol low such a girl around until you are perfectly satisfied, then nail her. Porkers Cut Down Dairy Output. Ernest E. Gourley, n dairyman of Portland. Ore., became discouraged because his cows gave such a small quantity of milk. Then he became suspicious nnd estribllshed n close watch over his bo vines. He nlso owned several pigs which were becom ing fnt very rapidly. Presto! The pigs were helping themselves to the milk. Now the pigs are separated from the cows nnd the dairy business has picked up.

Specialists DO NOT USE SURGERY Arctic Region Can Be Mapped by Pho tographs Taken From Miles Above the Objective. The adventures of the camera men In this war are more thrilling than any ronmance. Braving the fire of batteries of anti-aircraft guns and hourly en countering the skillful air duelists, they must calmly choose their posi tions, risk their lives often for a single exposure, and carry back their pic tures In record time. Successful pho- togrnphs have been made at a height of more than three miles, snys Boys' Life, the boy scouts' magazine, for February. From such an altitude the earth appears flat, all objects being lost in n dull cloud-like effect, but the cameras used are of the tele-photo type, which will pierce through this I distance. Some are made with a pis tol grip which enables the aviator to aim his camera quickly. Other aero cameras are built Into the floor or side of the aircraft and pictures are taken by touching a button with the foot. An Ingenious mechanical device has been Invented which will take pictures at any desired rate per second, so that nothing will be overlooked. Aero photography has many Impor tant uses apart from warfnre. The camera has been carried by daring ad ventures over unexplored regions. It has been estimated that an aero pho tographer could cover more territory in a day in the Arctic region than could be traversed In a month by dog sledges. will Be at Dacres Hotel, Friday and Saturday, April 19-20 Office Hours 9 a. m. to 4 p. m.
